Dawson's Creek, Season 6

Joey:
You ok, Pace?

Pacey:
You don't have to do this.

Joey:
Do what?

Pacey:
Sit out here with me. I know you'd rather be in the house with Dawson, so why don't you just go and help him lick his wounds?

Joey:
Things never change here, do they?

Pacey:
No... because these are the roles we were destined to play.

Joey:
No, Pace, these are the roles we chose to play. I mean, look at us, sitting out here on this dock in front of the same house we've been haunting for years. We're practically ghosts of our former selves, and honestly, I don't think anyone really remembers what they're mad about anymore.

Pacey:
Mm, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Joey:
Pacey, if I wanted to go back into that house, I would've gone a long time ago. Don't you know me at all by now?

Pacey:
Well, I don't want you sitting here feeling sorry for me.

Joey:
I don't feel sorry for you. I feel for you, Pacey. God, can't you ever tell the difference?

Pacey:
I don't know. [Sighs] I don't know, because you and I have had a very confusing run of things. Especially lately.

Joey:
Ok. You know, and no matter how much I love you or how long I stay with you, you're only gonna remember the moments when I leave.

Pacey:
Well, you gotta give me that much, because those are pretty much the most painful moments in my life.

Joey:
That's because you ask for them, Pacey. I'm sorry. You do. Your whole life, you spend so much time expecting the worst that you don't even notice the moments when people are loving you, and, Pacey, people spend a lot of time loving you.

Pacey:
Well... with all due respect, Jo, my best friend just walked away from me, but that's not even the worst of it. The worst thing is he hasn't even really known me for the last 3 years, so please, clarify that for me. How does that qualify me as a man with a support network?

Joey:
Well, you have a person sitting right here, don't you? But of course, that's not enough. Not until you let it.

Pacey:
In what world do I have you?

Joey:
Look, just because I don't fit into that... place you want me to doesn't mean there's not a place for me, Pacey. Does it?

Pacey:
Joey, this isn't your fight, anyway.

Joey:
You're right. You're right. It's not my fight because it's been over for a really long time, Pacey. And it is up to you to make it right.

Pacey:
I don't know how to make it right.

Joey:
Well, you're gonna have to figure it out. You know, that's the thing about ghosts. They say that... they don't leave until they're at peace with what they left undone.
