Dawson's Creek, Season 6

Audrey:
Oh, my god! You're still there, like a vegetable.

Joey:
Writing a good e-mail is hard.

Audrey:
Yes, especially when it is a huge mistake.

Joey:
Shut up.

Audrey:
Joey, I am serious. E-mail expression is the scourge of the modern age. The Internet has made it way too easy to express oneself. Ok, you have some fleeting thought. You send it. It lands with a thud in some unsuspecting person's mailbox. Said person then reads it, gets irked because you've recapped a conversation that you presumably already had. They fail to respond. You feel slighted. But if you must be one of these pathetic passive/aggressive e-mail types, far be it from me to stop you. What do you have so far?

Joey:
Well... I had "Dear Dawson," and then I erased it.

Audrey:
Why? I think that's a nice start.

Joey:
I seemed cold.

Audrey:
True. I mean, you did just nude-up with the guy. Oh, I'm sorry, or did you guys do it through a hole in a sheet because that's very Dawson and Joey to me.

Joey:
Again, shut up.

Audrey:
Sorry. Ok, so what do you want to say?

Joey:
I don't know. I mean, I don't like the way things ended, and I want him to know that I care, but I also want to hold on to my righteous indignation.

Audrey:
Obviously. Well, why don't you just pick up the phone and call him?

Joey:
I'm afraid we'll just fall right back into our old patterns. Trust me. E-mail is a far safer alternative at the moment.

Audrey:
Ok, if you must do this, then I say that you go for it. You know, be gooey and be embarrassing, but most of all, just be real, Joey. Say all of the things that you can't say to his face, the whole nine.

Joey:
You're right. I better get to work. But...thank you, Audrey.

Audrey:
No problem, sister Christian.
