Dawson's Creek, Season 6

Pacey:
So they told me you went away for a while.

Audrey:
Let's not be awkward exes, Pacey. I was drying out in Malibu.

Pacey:
Ok. Well, you look great, anyhow.

Audrey:
Clean living, my friend. So, what happened to your job? I know you're not just taking a long lunch break. You're a little too hard-core for that.

Pacey:
Well, I've been reassessing how I allocate my time.

Audrey:
So you're drinking?

Pacey:
I'm thinking about it.

Audrey:
You're thinking about taking a tasty downward spiral? Oh, you'd better quit while you're ahead. You're not cut out for this.

Pacey:
What are you talking about? I could spiral with the best of them. Speaking of... shouldn't you really avoid places like this?

Audrey:
I, um, can't hide from my problems forever. It's kind of how I ended up in rehab in the first place, right?

Pacey:
Well, that's brave of you. But you were always good like that.

Audrey:
Yeah, well, I'll be your personal superhero, ok?

Pacey:
Ok.

Audrey:
Unless of course you want to spend the rest of your days hiding out in dives like this. What are you hiding from, Pacey?

Pacey:
I'm hiding from the suit, because it's evil. Bad things happen when it's on. I allowed people to believe in me for a second, which was foolish, and now it's really coming back to bite them in the ass.

Audrey:
You know what? This isn't you talking. This is your former self rearing its ugly head. Come on, Pacey. I know moments like these. One path is the harsh reality, and one path is the comfortably numb. But guess what? In the morning, when you're all sobered up, the problem's still gonna be there. Only, now it'll be like a big festering wound, and you'll just be the jerk who sat back and let it get worse.

Pacey:
Well, thanks for not walking on eggshells around me.
