[Pacey is kissing Joey on the side of the road. Pacey pulls back, holding her face lightly. Joey stares at him for a second, then raises her hands and hits him on the chest, pushing him backward]

Joey:
Are you insane! How could you do that? How could you take some...simple declaration of friendship as an invitation to just maul me, Pacey! [Pushes him back again] Answer me! How-what were you thinking! [Hits him back once more] What!

Pacey:
What, I don't know, god it-it-it-it was an impulse.

Joey:
[Hits him backward again] An impulse!

Pacey:
Yes! An impulse, uh, you know sudden, momentary and believe me, fleeting.

Joey:
Do you have any idea the monumental implications of that meaningless little impulse! The ripple effect that it could create on our small, but fragile universe! You can't...

Pacey:
You're right, Potter, forgive me for thinking a kiss is just a kiss.

Joey:
Well, it's true...a kiss is not just a kiss! Not between you and me and you know why!....Dawson! Remember? I mean, he factors into this little...hormonal meltdown!

Pacey:
Meltdown?

Joey:
Yeah!

Pacey:
I just had a meltdown? Forgive me if I don't think this is the worst tragedy in the history of human kind, that Pacey Witter in a moment of...impulsive, compulsive, hormone induced insanity would have the nerve to kiss Joey Potter! And you let me do it, you did, you let me do it! So what? Now I guess the world starts unravel, well excuse me while I get in the car! [He walks past her toward the car. Joey scoffs and starts walking the other way. Pacey notices she isn't following and turns around, seeing her walk away] Would you get in the car, Potter!

Joey:
No! [Pacey, frustrated, put his hand on his head and gets in the car. He starts and drives it until he catches up with her]

Pacey:
Would you just get in the car, Potter, please?

Joey:
No.

Pacey:
I didn't even mean to do it! You know, this is me, Pacey, act first, think later, okay and now that I'm getting a chance to think about it...I take it all back, okay, so get in the car.

Joey:
No.

Pacey:
Jo, it's at least another six miles to your house, it is freezing cold outside and if you don't get in I'm just going to do this the whole way there, so would you get in, please? [Joey pauses as she thinks and then reluctantly gets into the car, slamming the car door and sitting angrily in her seat and looks out the window]

Pacey:
So I guess I'm to take from your angry silence you're not speaking to me anymore?

Joey:
Nope.

Pacey:
Great! Great, and how long do you plan on keeping that up?

Joey:
How does indefinitely sound?

Pacey:
Fine.

Joey:
Fine.

Pacey:
Fine.

Joey:
Fine.
