Dawson's Creek s04e03 Episode Script
Two Gentlemen of Capeside
The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Not one of the bard's best but an interesting apprentice piece nonetheless.
ln the high-spirited Silvia we see the first version of a character we're later gonna come to know as Juliet.
ln the two male characters, Proteus and Valentine.
Next time, l draw blood.
lt's your own fault.
l'm new here, and you're not being very nice to me.
l'm not trying to be.
Then again, you don't strike me as very popular so you can turn around now.
You're of no use to me.
Hate to interrupt, Miss Potter.
But maybe you could tell us what The Two Gentlemen of Verona is all about.
-Well, it's a-- -Could you raise the volume a notch? l don't speak mumble.
lt's about a girl who comes between two guys.
Right you are.
Two guys, a girl and no pizza place.
How did the play make you feel, Miss Potter? l didn't think it was very realistic.
l mean Valentine is this cardboard cut-out hero and Proteus is unfairly painted as a villain.
l think these scenarios are actually a lot more complicated.
Mr.
Leery, do l sense an opposing viewpoint in your little chortle? No.
No, it was nothing.
Please, please.
Elaborate.
Well.
l don't think it's a story about a girl coming between two guys.
l think it's about the friendship between the two guys.
Which fails when the girl comes between them.
lt fails because one friend betrays the other.
Proteus is a lousy friend.
Valentine isn't such a great guy.
He's so fixated on his honour he totally loses sight of everything else around him.
He was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.
He gave up the girl he loved.
That's a bad thing? l think nothing about this topic is black-and-white, Dawson.
Drue? Gene and Roger here have a fantastic energy but they're sort of all over the place.
Now, l, for one, would love to see them engage in a prepared debate about the merits of the play.
-Would you mind your own business? -l think that is a splendid idea.
l've never generated so much heat out of what is arguably Shakespeare's worst comedy.
You know what would be better? lf you teamed up with them, Drue.
Threw your viewpoint into the mix.
l look forward to a lively debate from the three of you tomorrow.
Look at that.
lt's almost time for me to be picking you up at school.
l'm not even an hour late yet.
That doesn't break my record.
Skipping school is no way for a young lady to handle her problems.
l had a lot of angry femme music to get through this morning and l resent the interruption.
Those songs you listen to only exacerbate your sadness.
You're missing the point.
l'm not sad.
No, l've moved on from sad.
l am currently in the thick of pissed off.
Good.
Then you'll recognize my attitude if you pull this routine one more time.
What happened to the kinder, gentler Grams? l miss her.
Jennifer, l'm not so old that l don't remember how important senior fall term is.
Old enough to call it ''fall term.
'' Much of what your next four years will be is being decided now, Jennifer.
l will not let a momentary heartache squander any opportunities you may have.
l'm hereby putting a 48-hour cap on your melancholy.
You can't cap my melancholy.
Watch me.
Now, here, stay dry.
Have you looked outside? lt happens to be beautiful.
Today is a red-letter day in The Farmer's Almanac.
Rain is definitely predicted.
So Leery manor or the B&B? Where do you wanna get together? Are you okay with this? Rather than debate the awkwardness, l'd much prefer we got it over with.
Okay.
l have to work, so you're gonna have to come down to the yacht club.
Okay.
Are you gonna be able to focus there? Yeah.
The place is a tomb on Thursday nights.
Except for one old geezer who always shows up for the prime-rib special.
All right.
Sounds cool.
l'll see you later.
Someone couldn't have hightailed it out of here fast enough.
And you're in a race to start conversation with him? Oh, she's right, Pacey.
One day, one of you is gonna have to end to this great era of silence.
But not me and not today.
Today l'm celebrating.
-Celebrating? -Pacey done good.
Oh, Pacey done very good.
Pacey got his first A.
Good omen, yeah? l couldn't have done it without you.
l was but a mere study aid.
Sure you were.
So now you're coming sailing with me.
This afternoon is the last beautiful day of the season.
You've been conscripted to be my deck hand.
Love to, Pace, but l have a project to do.
Put it off for one day? lt's due tomorrow.
-And.
-Am l missing something here? lt's with Dawson.
lt wasn't planned.
lt was assigned.
Well, isn't that cute? l'll go with you if you want.
Maybe the open horizon will serve to lift my spirits a bit.
-Really? -Yeah.
There you go.
A willing victim.
Two things.
First of all, l absolutely refuse to make out with you.
And second of all, there's a distinct possibility that l'll puke.
What do you know those are my two things.
Hey, wait.
Jack, Jack, come here.
-What? -So up like this? Or down? Don't ask me hair questions.
Jack! You know what? Down.
lt's more relaxed.
l've got that interview today at the yacht club, so.
l didn't know you're looking for a job.
-Duh, Jack.
College interviews.
-Oh, yeah, right.
ls it that time? For those of us who've started the application process, yes.
-This one for Harvard? -No.
You know that guy Drue? His mom, Ms.
Valentine she's one of the alums of the backup schools l'm looking at.
So, you know, it's always crucial to make a good first impression.
-Whoa, Andie, you okay? -Yeah.
l got a little dizzy, that's all.
-Here.
Why don't-- Here, sit down.
-Yeah.
lt's that new drug you started, isn't it? Yeah, Nardil.
lt's actually working well.
Better than anything else l've tried.
l know it's just preventative, but are you sure you're okay with it? lt's a little scary.
But it's just like Dr.
Newman said in times of high stress it can't hurt to have an extra line of defence.
You can always try my tactic.
Just forget altogether that you're a senior.
Yeah, right.
Only l wasn't born with those genes.
Okay, how do l look? Like you should be interviewing her.
So you're sick now too? -l've got the sniffly part.
-l've still got that nauseous part.
Maybe if you kept your tongues out of each other's throats you'd stop passing it back and forth.
Take a good look, honey.
This is marriage.
l've gotta go to the yacht club.
l've got homework.
What? A sociology report on the wealthy? No.
l've got a project to do with Joey.
-lt wasn't our idea.
We got assigned.
-Are you okay with that? Why does everybody treat me like my head's gonna explode every time her name is mentioned? -Because it did.
-Three months ago.
Which in teenager time is a decade.
Joey's got her life, and l've got mine.
And Pacey? l see you've joined the Great Pacey Watch 2000.
l don't have any updates.
Oh, except he seems to hate me more since l let Joey know about his grades.
-Thanks for the tip, Pop.
-You did the right thing.
l'm all out of right things.
Do you guys want anything before l go? No.
But on your way out, would you shut the windows back there? The wind's starting up.
-Will do.
-All right.
Must've been hard to turn this boat around and come back to reality.
That's an understatement.
You can just forget about the world out here.
You could forget your girlfriend's spending the entire afternoon with her ex-soul mate.
Pacey, l'm probably the last person on earth you should be out here with.
Oh, that's not true.
You ever seen Dougie in a Speedo? l mean, l love you and Joey.
But if you're having doubts whether a teenage couple can sustain a relationship l'm probably not the best person to talk to.
-Lean over.
-Oh, what's that? That is a gift from the gods.
Did you check the weather? l checked it this morning.
lt said a storm system's headed up the coast, but it'll pass us right overhead.
Hello? Hey, gorgeous.
Unbelievable.
Unacceptable.
Hello, gorgeous, is it? This is Drue's doctor.
He's gonna have to get back to you when the syphilis clears up.
Bye-bye.
That was rude.
Ruder than taking calls while we're working on a project that you got us into? l don't think so.
Excuse a brother for picking up on the intense, dare l say, sexual vibe between the two of you.
Must be the Star Wars thing.
-Star Wars thing? -lt's classic.
You are obviously Luke to this Pacey guy's Han Solo.
You're the stuff of preteen daydreams.
Cute, smart, nonthreatening which is great and all but not for Princess Joey who is clearly smack-dab in the middle of her bad-boy phase.
Where do you fit into this whole scenario, Drue? Jabba the Hutt, l think.
l'll be right back.
-Hello, Mr.
Brooks.
-My usual table, please.
Sorry, it's taken.
lf the opening act is over, l'd like to sit down now.
You'll be having the prime-rib special this evening? Yes, and l'll have it quick.
l want to get my boat home before the storm.
Storm? A weather phenomenon where the skies darken and rain falls.
l'll be back with your water.
-Sorry, Quick.
-No, no, no.
It's my fault.
Mr.
Brooks said that there's a storm coming.
Mr.
Brooks lives alone with a three-legged dog named Boo.
-Have you seen any storm reports? -No.
Think those things would impede her ability to use an Uzi.
Let me know if you hear anything.
Hello? Hey, gorgeous.
No, don't worry about it.
She's crazy.
What's going on? Well, Andrea your academic record is certainly outstanding.
Thank you.
-Oh, and Andie's fine.
-Oh, a nickname.
How charming.
Any idea what you'd like to study in school? Well, everything.
At least at first.
History, philosophy, English.
You can never underestimate the value of a well-rounded liberal arts education.
lf you could have dinner with one person, living or dead whom would you choose? Eleanor Roosevelt.
Most students say Jesus.
Well, let's see.
You worked on the yearbook the newspaper.
You directed a play.
Yes.
Barefoot in the Park by Neil Simon.
lt was completely pre-feminist, but it held up surprisingly well.
-We took sort of a-- -l see only one red flag here.
At the end of your sophomore year, you took a medical leave of absence.
Yes, l did.
But l was able to make up my finals, and none of my grades suffered.
Nothing serious, l hope, your illness? l was having some emotional problems.
Emotional problems? So this was a mental illness? Would you like some tea, dear? Sure.
l think that if Valentine and Proteus came to some understanding.
-What? -Joey, we are trying so hard not to talk about Pacey, he's become the subtext of this whole play.
What do you say we just get it out in the open once and for all? Okay, let's.
Pacey and l are not gonna be friends again.
End of story.
Everybody thinks that it's time we made up.
That's not gonna happen.
Well, since you did bring this up, why not? -What's done is done.
-After 1 0 years, what's done is done? No.
After the greatest betrayal of my life, what's done is done.
Dawson -l was a part of that betrayal.
-Yes, and you apologized for it.
You showed some remorse for what happened.
Pacey could care less, which is fine.
lt's just not the kind of person l'll race out and be friends with again.
lt's time for everyone to accept that reality and move on with their lives starting with us talking about this play without referencing him.
Can we do that? Yeah, okay.
What? l'll be right back.
Oh, anxious much? -You were supposed to be watching.
-l forgot.
l want my check.
Excuse me.
Just a second.
l'm leaving for home this instant, and l want my check.
-Drue, can you get him his check? -Notice my reclining state.
-That would imply l'm not working.
-Would you get him his check?! We haven't seen a storm lik e this in 30 years.
We'll have an update at the top of the hour.
-Well, this came out of nowhere.
-Thought the storm was heading out.
Well, it did.
lt did, but it came back.
lf you hadn't used the batteries on the marine band, we could've got a report.
lf somebody owned something other than Zeppelin we wouldn't have needed the radio.
-Hold this.
Grab the jib sheet.
-Got it.
Let me set the course.
l'll get on the VHF, and we'll get the weather report.
Good, because you'd never be first to admit it.
-What? -You'd never admit it's getting scary.
This is nothing.
l've seen this before.
Where? ln The Perfect Storm? No, no, no.
l saw something like this over in Nags Head this summer.
We'll get a weather report, find where the worst of it is and go around.
Okay.
Did that happen in Nags Head? l guess l would say that my greatest strength is my tenacity.
Which is probably my greatest weakness too.
My brother, Jack, is always telling me l don't know when to quit.
l see.
But what about your illness? lsn't that a weakness? No.
Actually, l consider it a strength.
lt taught me the importance of asking for help when something's too tough to handle on your own.
We keep coming back to this topic, don't we? -ls that a problem? -No, not at all.
ln fact, most teenagers go through similar experiences.
lt's nothing to be ashamed of.
lt's just that l prefer to concentrate on the present.
And the future.
That's just one part of my life.
lt does not define me as a person.
Well, although l'm sure you consider yourself recovered perhaps someone with your background would do better in a less competitive environment.
-Less competitive? -Perhaps a state school.
So you want to disregard all of my accomplishments and achievements because l had a problem in the past? Andie, understand the position you put me in.
l have the task of judging your ability to handle the ardent pressures of one of the most difficult collegiate environments in the country.
My name is on the line.
You know what? You're right.
My background does have a bearing on my ability handle pressure.
l had a problem.
l recognized that, sought treatment and recovered.
And the fact that l had the courage to face my problems and get help l think only makes me better prepared to face the pressures of college than most of my peers.
l wish you all the best.
And now if you'll excuse me.
This means severe beach erosion 20- to 30-foot seas and winds that will certainly exceed hurricane force in certain areas.
Did he say, '' hurricane force''? --gusts over 1 00 miles per hour.
He said, ''exceed hurricane force.
'' Damn it.
l'll never get home now.
Joey, l'm out of here.
lf you wanna work later, let me know.
-Dawson, they're out there.
-Who's out there? Pacey and Jen are out on the boat.
No wonder you've been out of it.
Why didn't you say something? lt wasn't this bad.
Hi, guys.
Have you seen Andie? l was supposed to pick her up.
-Hey, Jack.
l'm here.
-l came early.
lt's ugly out there.
Not half as ugly as it got back there.
-Drue? -Yeah.
-Where's your mother? -What's the matter, Bruce? All boats from the club are secure except three.
Those three radioed in and will need assistance to the harbour.
-ls one of the boats the True Love? -The True Love is out there? -There's no slip registered for name.
-Whoa, Pacey's out there? -Pacey and Jen.
-Pacey doesn't have any registration.
-He just uses whatever slip is vacant.
-l haven't heard anything about it.
l know that it's out there.
lt is definitely out there.
The radios are definitely blown, but l think l got this bilge pump working.
-Aren't you supposed to be on watch? -There's nothing to watch but water.
-Pacey, the boat's gonna capsize! -She's not gonna capsize.
Really?! Then why am l flat on my ass? She'll come over, all right? lt's what she does.
There you go.
Put that on, all right? -All right.
-We'll reef the main.
-English, please.
-We'll trim up the mainsail so we don't get knocked over.
-lsn't that just gonna slow us down? -Nope.
We're not going back into port.
lt's too dangerous.
We might hit a dock-- Wait, so we're just gonna hang out here? We'll go to a cove l know.
lt'll give us protection.
What cove? l don't know its name, but l know where it is.
Well, how far away is it? Not that far! We'll ride out the storm there! lt's the safest thing to do! -Pacey, what if this gets worse? -lt's not gonna get any worse! Pacey! lf it gets any worse, they'll send someone for us! We have no radio, and we're going to a cove you don't know the name of! Who is gonna find us there?! Dawson! Dawson will know! Three boats trying to make their way into the harbour.
You said none of them are the True Love.
We're escorting them.
lf your friends are out there, we'll get them back.
Pacey wouldn't dock.
No way he'd risk his boat.
No sensible person would stay out there in this.
There's a cove at Crescent lsland.
We went there as kids.
That's where he is.
ln this weather, Crescent lsland would provide very little protection.
-He doesn't know.
-How could he not? Obviously his radio's broken.
That's why no one has heard from him.
l'm sorry.
l can't send someone miles out to sea in hurricane-force winds -because you've got a hunch.
-Look, you have to listen to him.
Let's get the boats in.
lf we still haven't heard from them, l'll send someone.
-But what if it's too late? -l'm sorry.
That's the best l can offer.
-They're there, Jo.
-Well, what can we do about it? Go get him.
ls there a boat l can borrow? l think Mrs.
Valentine has a set of keys to all the boats at the club.
Which is why it's a good idea to be nice to Mrs.
Valentine's little boy.
Try slip 41 , the Artful Dodger.
Don't let the old geeze see you.
We rode out a storm together in this cove up here! How the hell are we gonna get through that?! You grab the tiller! l'm gonna drop the mainsail! Pacey! Here.
Come on! -l'll radio in when l know something.
-You're not going without me.
Joey, you're not coming with me.
l'm not negotiating this.
-Whatever your reason-- -ls my reason! Dawson, you can't solo the open seas, not in this weather! -Joey-- -l can't worry about the both of you! Let's go.
Untie the dock line.
Okay, get down! Everybody just get down! On the floor covered with glass? Somebody should clean up this mess! -Where's the waitress? -You don't know? She and Dawson went after Pacey and Jen in Mr.
Brooks' boat.
They stole my boat? No, l'm sure they didn't steal it.
They probably just borrowed it.
Semantics.
Like the difference between jail and prison.
Okay.
Jack, l'm gonna go to the office and try and get in contact with them.
Board up the windows.
lf you can't find boards, shove tables against them.
-Okay.
You got it.
-You can't just move the tables.
-Watch me.
-Do you have other suggestions on how to keep the storm out? No.
l didn't think so.
Okay.
Why don't you write.
That's Dawson Leery's parents, Jen Lindley's grandmother.
Call them, reassure them.
Can you do that? -Yes.
Yes, l can do that.
-Okay.
Mr.
Brooks, come with me.
l'll need your boat's frequency to contact Dawson and Joey, okay? And you.
Why don't you find a broom or a mop or something and sweep up the glass.
You want me to sweep? What do l look like to you, huh? You know what you look like? A boy with nothing to do.
Now find a broom.
Pacey, tell me something good.
l really wanna hear something good right now.
Well, how about if you gonna have a hole in your hull -it's good to have it that high.
Good? -All right.
Unless, of course, the boat does that.
The bilge pump will take care of that.
-How do you know? -Jen, l don't know.
Because l'm guessing, just like l've been guessing about everything else.
But l'll be right about something.
That's the law of averages.
l have to get one right.
-Stop making fun.
lt's not-- -All right.
You got any better ideas? l got one.
We should be doing that confession thing.
Like they do in movies before the plane's about to hit down or the meteor's gonna crash into America and all the characters confess the secrets that have been plaguing their mortal souls.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, those characters rarely survive those confessions.
All right, so we just step back a notch.
No confessions.
Just regrets.
Unfortunately, l can't help you there, because l don't have regrets.
lt's not the way that l operate.
Really? You have no regrets? There's nothing you would want to change? No.
There's nothing l want to change because it's life's twists and turns and bumps and bruises that make you who you are.
So why regret that? All right.
Well, l have a regret.
l regret that l've never been in love.
-What about Henry? -That wasn't love.
lt couldn't have been.
My big regret is that we may drown before l ever know what love is.
-Jen, you're not gonna drown.
-l don't need the comfort.
Just felt good to say.
Pacey.
-Good? -Yeah.
We're good.
Okay.
l do have one regret.
What? l regret the way that things are between me and Dawson right now.
Have you ever thought about saying something? What difference would it make to say something? lt doesn't change any of our situations.
lt might just feel good to say.
Yeah.
Any sight of the True Love? Over.
I can't even see in front of our boat.
Over.
Where are you? Over.
-l think we're-- -We're not lost.
What's your location? Over.
We're 1 42.
49 north by 1 06.
1 9 west.
That's 1 2 miles north of Kalispell, Montana.
Repeat your coordinates.
Over.
We're 1 0-- Repeat your coordinates.
Dawson? Joey? Are you there? Come in, Dawson, Joey, are you still there? Andie? Andie, are you still there? Andie? We've lost them.
That's all right.
We're almost there.
How can you tell? l can barely even see the tip of my nose out here.
Trust me.
-There they are.
-Yeah, that's them.
l hope they're all right.
Pull up alongside.
We'll tie the boats together.
Careful! We're gonna hit! -We hit something.
-Or something hit us.
-You all right? -Yeah, l'm fine.
-You're right.
lt's a boat.
-lt has to be Dawson.
Come on.
-Pacey, Jen, are you guys all right? -Now we are.
Pacey, take the line! -Got it! -Hey! Come on.
Watch out! -l can make it.
-Hold on.
-You ready? -l'm ready.
You gotta time the jump.
Look for the wave to break and jump to Dawson.
-You got it? -Okay.
-Go! -Yeah.
Now you! Pacey, come on! Let's go! Pacey, let's go! -Pacey, are you crazy? -l'm not leaving my boat! -She's not gonna make it! -l'm not leaving my boat! l'm not leaving you! -Dawson! -Dawson! -Get off my boat! -l'm not letting you do this! -Dawson, go! -Pacey! Get off my boat! Go! People care more about you than this damn boat! Pacey! -Oh, my God.
Thank God.
-Are you guys okay? -Okay.
-Oh, honey.
What you did was reckless, dangerous and completely foolish.
We've never been more proud of you in our entire lives.
Come, Jennifer.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Oh, wrong guy, Grams.
lt's Dawson you should be thanking.
You'll forgive me for not expressing joy and relief at the sight of the gash.
My boat's hull? l'm very sorry about that, sir.
Sorry? You're sorry.
Well, the gash is still there, and sorry isn't gonna fix it.
What else did you have besides feckless regrets? l have some money from the summer that l was saving for college.
Which is exactly what you will keep on doing.
That boat is a thing, a replaceable thing.
This young man risked his life to save my granddaughter.
The fact you can't appreciate his courage explains to me why you've been alone all these years in that godforsaken house.
And if l find out that you let him dip into his college fund, l'll personally kick your shrivelled old butt.
Andie? Andie? l just wanted to tell you l was very impressed with the way you handled yourself today.
-Thank you.
-She did more than handle herself.
-She handled the whole club.
-lndeed.
-She did a fine job.
-Yeah.
She did your job.
Okay, Jack.
Come on.
Let's go.
The university will be very interested in hearing my impressions of you.
l'm also pretty sure they'll be interested in hearing what a bitch they have representing them.
Yeah.
l'm terribly sorry.
But please try to understand the position you've now put me in.
You wouldn't dare.
No, you know what? l wouldn't.
Because at the end of the day, Mrs.
Valentine, l'm nothing like you.
l don't derive any pleasure in wielding whatever little power l have over others.
Just give me the recommendation that you see fit because if anyone at that university knows you as well as l know you it's not gonna count for much anyway.
Come on, Jack, let's go.
Pacey? Do you have any idea how pissed l am at you now? Jo, the best memories of my life are on that sailboat.
lt represents everything that's good to me in this world.
So you gotta excuse me if l'm having a hard time letting that go right now.
No, l won't excuse you.
l don't think l've ever been so scared for someone in my whole life.
l'm sorry that l put you through that.
Just.
Can you do me a favour? You know, in the future when you're dealing with life-and-death matters remember that you're thinking for two.
l can do that.
You knew he was gonna come for you, didn't you? What makes you say that? Because you know him just as well as he knows you.
lt's the nature of best friends.
No.
-Ex-best friends now.
-You know whether you guys hang out or not he's still a part of you, Pace.
How can you really be whole if you continue to pretend like he doesn't exist? Yeah.
Just doesn't seem fair, does it? What's that? Well, you saved the day.
You still don't get the girl.
But maybe, just maybe, you got something more important.
-How do you figure that? -You have this moment.
No matter where your life takes you you can look back on it and know you did a great thing.
That's something all the girls and all the thank-yous in the world can't replace.
Let's go home.
Way to go, Grams.
l always knew you had it in you.
But really.
When we get home, l have some angry femme music that you are just gonna love.
Grams? l can't seem to find my keys anywhere.
-Left them inside.
-Grams? Grams? l didn't think l was ever going to see you again.
lt's okay.
lt's okay.
No.
No, it's not okay.
All night, most of my thoughts were of what l was going to tell your mother.
You handled this much better than my mother ever would have.
l have never lost myself like this before.
All my talk of faith, and when l needed it the most, l had none.
That's because you lent it to me.
Listen, l was terrified out there tonight.
But l still had hope, you know? So l figure that l must have gotten that from somebody.
Here, l got it.
l got it.
Come on.
Does that mean l can count on you for church on Sunday? Not unless you want that place to fall down.
Just thought l'd give it a try.
Come on.
-What are you doing here? -What are you doing here? l live here.
l have for the last two years.
So this is where the Lindleys banished their bad seed.
lt's good to see you, Jen.
Forgive me if l don't say the same thing.
Jennifer Lindley.
The girl who set New York on fire.
l thought moving here was gonna be the most miserable mistake of my life.
l'm sorry, you live here now? You might wanna sound a little more upbeat when you say that.
-A guy could take offence.
-Drue Valentine in Capeside.
God help us all.
Dawson.
-Look, l wanted to come by and just-- -Pacey you don't owe me anything.
Please.
You and l both know that what you did yesterday was-- Was exactly what you would've done.
-Maybe, maybe not.
-Trust me.
You would've done exactly the same thing.
Well, l certainly hope so.
l just wanted to come by and say thank you.
You're welcome.
No, hold on a second.
That's not it.
There's something else l wanted to say to you.
l know that things between you and l are pretty much beyond repair right now.
And l wouldn't presume to be able to solve it with a conversation because that's just not the way it works.
But l've been wanting to tell you that l'm sorry, Dawson.
l'm really sorry for the way everything went down this spring.
For my part in it.
For the pain that it must have caused you.
And l'm really sorry that l ruined our friendship because l miss it badly.
And however far off it may be l do look forward to the day when you and l might be friends again.
So until then.
Until then.
SDl Media Group
Not one of the bard's best but an interesting apprentice piece nonetheless.
ln the high-spirited Silvia we see the first version of a character we're later gonna come to know as Juliet.
ln the two male characters, Proteus and Valentine.
Next time, l draw blood.
lt's your own fault.
l'm new here, and you're not being very nice to me.
l'm not trying to be.
Then again, you don't strike me as very popular so you can turn around now.
You're of no use to me.
Hate to interrupt, Miss Potter.
But maybe you could tell us what The Two Gentlemen of Verona is all about.
-Well, it's a-- -Could you raise the volume a notch? l don't speak mumble.
lt's about a girl who comes between two guys.
Right you are.
Two guys, a girl and no pizza place.
How did the play make you feel, Miss Potter? l didn't think it was very realistic.
l mean Valentine is this cardboard cut-out hero and Proteus is unfairly painted as a villain.
l think these scenarios are actually a lot more complicated.
Mr.
Leery, do l sense an opposing viewpoint in your little chortle? No.
No, it was nothing.
Please, please.
Elaborate.
Well.
l don't think it's a story about a girl coming between two guys.
l think it's about the friendship between the two guys.
Which fails when the girl comes between them.
lt fails because one friend betrays the other.
Proteus is a lousy friend.
Valentine isn't such a great guy.
He's so fixated on his honour he totally loses sight of everything else around him.
He was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.
He gave up the girl he loved.
That's a bad thing? l think nothing about this topic is black-and-white, Dawson.
Drue? Gene and Roger here have a fantastic energy but they're sort of all over the place.
Now, l, for one, would love to see them engage in a prepared debate about the merits of the play.
-Would you mind your own business? -l think that is a splendid idea.
l've never generated so much heat out of what is arguably Shakespeare's worst comedy.
You know what would be better? lf you teamed up with them, Drue.
Threw your viewpoint into the mix.
l look forward to a lively debate from the three of you tomorrow.
Look at that.
lt's almost time for me to be picking you up at school.
l'm not even an hour late yet.
That doesn't break my record.
Skipping school is no way for a young lady to handle her problems.
l had a lot of angry femme music to get through this morning and l resent the interruption.
Those songs you listen to only exacerbate your sadness.
You're missing the point.
l'm not sad.
No, l've moved on from sad.
l am currently in the thick of pissed off.
Good.
Then you'll recognize my attitude if you pull this routine one more time.
What happened to the kinder, gentler Grams? l miss her.
Jennifer, l'm not so old that l don't remember how important senior fall term is.
Old enough to call it ''fall term.
'' Much of what your next four years will be is being decided now, Jennifer.
l will not let a momentary heartache squander any opportunities you may have.
l'm hereby putting a 48-hour cap on your melancholy.
You can't cap my melancholy.
Watch me.
Now, here, stay dry.
Have you looked outside? lt happens to be beautiful.
Today is a red-letter day in The Farmer's Almanac.
Rain is definitely predicted.
So Leery manor or the B&B? Where do you wanna get together? Are you okay with this? Rather than debate the awkwardness, l'd much prefer we got it over with.
Okay.
l have to work, so you're gonna have to come down to the yacht club.
Okay.
Are you gonna be able to focus there? Yeah.
The place is a tomb on Thursday nights.
Except for one old geezer who always shows up for the prime-rib special.
All right.
Sounds cool.
l'll see you later.
Someone couldn't have hightailed it out of here fast enough.
And you're in a race to start conversation with him? Oh, she's right, Pacey.
One day, one of you is gonna have to end to this great era of silence.
But not me and not today.
Today l'm celebrating.
-Celebrating? -Pacey done good.
Oh, Pacey done very good.
Pacey got his first A.
Good omen, yeah? l couldn't have done it without you.
l was but a mere study aid.
Sure you were.
So now you're coming sailing with me.
This afternoon is the last beautiful day of the season.
You've been conscripted to be my deck hand.
Love to, Pace, but l have a project to do.
Put it off for one day? lt's due tomorrow.
-And.
-Am l missing something here? lt's with Dawson.
lt wasn't planned.
lt was assigned.
Well, isn't that cute? l'll go with you if you want.
Maybe the open horizon will serve to lift my spirits a bit.
-Really? -Yeah.
There you go.
A willing victim.
Two things.
First of all, l absolutely refuse to make out with you.
And second of all, there's a distinct possibility that l'll puke.
What do you know those are my two things.
Hey, wait.
Jack, Jack, come here.
-What? -So up like this? Or down? Don't ask me hair questions.
Jack! You know what? Down.
lt's more relaxed.
l've got that interview today at the yacht club, so.
l didn't know you're looking for a job.
-Duh, Jack.
College interviews.
-Oh, yeah, right.
ls it that time? For those of us who've started the application process, yes.
-This one for Harvard? -No.
You know that guy Drue? His mom, Ms.
Valentine she's one of the alums of the backup schools l'm looking at.
So, you know, it's always crucial to make a good first impression.
-Whoa, Andie, you okay? -Yeah.
l got a little dizzy, that's all.
-Here.
Why don't-- Here, sit down.
-Yeah.
lt's that new drug you started, isn't it? Yeah, Nardil.
lt's actually working well.
Better than anything else l've tried.
l know it's just preventative, but are you sure you're okay with it? lt's a little scary.
But it's just like Dr.
Newman said in times of high stress it can't hurt to have an extra line of defence.
You can always try my tactic.
Just forget altogether that you're a senior.
Yeah, right.
Only l wasn't born with those genes.
Okay, how do l look? Like you should be interviewing her.
So you're sick now too? -l've got the sniffly part.
-l've still got that nauseous part.
Maybe if you kept your tongues out of each other's throats you'd stop passing it back and forth.
Take a good look, honey.
This is marriage.
l've gotta go to the yacht club.
l've got homework.
What? A sociology report on the wealthy? No.
l've got a project to do with Joey.
-lt wasn't our idea.
We got assigned.
-Are you okay with that? Why does everybody treat me like my head's gonna explode every time her name is mentioned? -Because it did.
-Three months ago.
Which in teenager time is a decade.
Joey's got her life, and l've got mine.
And Pacey? l see you've joined the Great Pacey Watch 2000.
l don't have any updates.
Oh, except he seems to hate me more since l let Joey know about his grades.
-Thanks for the tip, Pop.
-You did the right thing.
l'm all out of right things.
Do you guys want anything before l go? No.
But on your way out, would you shut the windows back there? The wind's starting up.
-Will do.
-All right.
Must've been hard to turn this boat around and come back to reality.
That's an understatement.
You can just forget about the world out here.
You could forget your girlfriend's spending the entire afternoon with her ex-soul mate.
Pacey, l'm probably the last person on earth you should be out here with.
Oh, that's not true.
You ever seen Dougie in a Speedo? l mean, l love you and Joey.
But if you're having doubts whether a teenage couple can sustain a relationship l'm probably not the best person to talk to.
-Lean over.
-Oh, what's that? That is a gift from the gods.
Did you check the weather? l checked it this morning.
lt said a storm system's headed up the coast, but it'll pass us right overhead.
Hello? Hey, gorgeous.
Unbelievable.
Unacceptable.
Hello, gorgeous, is it? This is Drue's doctor.
He's gonna have to get back to you when the syphilis clears up.
Bye-bye.
That was rude.
Ruder than taking calls while we're working on a project that you got us into? l don't think so.
Excuse a brother for picking up on the intense, dare l say, sexual vibe between the two of you.
Must be the Star Wars thing.
-Star Wars thing? -lt's classic.
You are obviously Luke to this Pacey guy's Han Solo.
You're the stuff of preteen daydreams.
Cute, smart, nonthreatening which is great and all but not for Princess Joey who is clearly smack-dab in the middle of her bad-boy phase.
Where do you fit into this whole scenario, Drue? Jabba the Hutt, l think.
l'll be right back.
-Hello, Mr.
Brooks.
-My usual table, please.
Sorry, it's taken.
lf the opening act is over, l'd like to sit down now.
You'll be having the prime-rib special this evening? Yes, and l'll have it quick.
l want to get my boat home before the storm.
Storm? A weather phenomenon where the skies darken and rain falls.
l'll be back with your water.
-Sorry, Quick.
-No, no, no.
It's my fault.
Mr.
Brooks said that there's a storm coming.
Mr.
Brooks lives alone with a three-legged dog named Boo.
-Have you seen any storm reports? -No.
Think those things would impede her ability to use an Uzi.
Let me know if you hear anything.
Hello? Hey, gorgeous.
No, don't worry about it.
She's crazy.
What's going on? Well, Andrea your academic record is certainly outstanding.
Thank you.
-Oh, and Andie's fine.
-Oh, a nickname.
How charming.
Any idea what you'd like to study in school? Well, everything.
At least at first.
History, philosophy, English.
You can never underestimate the value of a well-rounded liberal arts education.
lf you could have dinner with one person, living or dead whom would you choose? Eleanor Roosevelt.
Most students say Jesus.
Well, let's see.
You worked on the yearbook the newspaper.
You directed a play.
Yes.
Barefoot in the Park by Neil Simon.
lt was completely pre-feminist, but it held up surprisingly well.
-We took sort of a-- -l see only one red flag here.
At the end of your sophomore year, you took a medical leave of absence.
Yes, l did.
But l was able to make up my finals, and none of my grades suffered.
Nothing serious, l hope, your illness? l was having some emotional problems.
Emotional problems? So this was a mental illness? Would you like some tea, dear? Sure.
l think that if Valentine and Proteus came to some understanding.
-What? -Joey, we are trying so hard not to talk about Pacey, he's become the subtext of this whole play.
What do you say we just get it out in the open once and for all? Okay, let's.
Pacey and l are not gonna be friends again.
End of story.
Everybody thinks that it's time we made up.
That's not gonna happen.
Well, since you did bring this up, why not? -What's done is done.
-After 1 0 years, what's done is done? No.
After the greatest betrayal of my life, what's done is done.
Dawson -l was a part of that betrayal.
-Yes, and you apologized for it.
You showed some remorse for what happened.
Pacey could care less, which is fine.
lt's just not the kind of person l'll race out and be friends with again.
lt's time for everyone to accept that reality and move on with their lives starting with us talking about this play without referencing him.
Can we do that? Yeah, okay.
What? l'll be right back.
Oh, anxious much? -You were supposed to be watching.
-l forgot.
l want my check.
Excuse me.
Just a second.
l'm leaving for home this instant, and l want my check.
-Drue, can you get him his check? -Notice my reclining state.
-That would imply l'm not working.
-Would you get him his check?! We haven't seen a storm lik e this in 30 years.
We'll have an update at the top of the hour.
-Well, this came out of nowhere.
-Thought the storm was heading out.
Well, it did.
lt did, but it came back.
lf you hadn't used the batteries on the marine band, we could've got a report.
lf somebody owned something other than Zeppelin we wouldn't have needed the radio.
-Hold this.
Grab the jib sheet.
-Got it.
Let me set the course.
l'll get on the VHF, and we'll get the weather report.
Good, because you'd never be first to admit it.
-What? -You'd never admit it's getting scary.
This is nothing.
l've seen this before.
Where? ln The Perfect Storm? No, no, no.
l saw something like this over in Nags Head this summer.
We'll get a weather report, find where the worst of it is and go around.
Okay.
Did that happen in Nags Head? l guess l would say that my greatest strength is my tenacity.
Which is probably my greatest weakness too.
My brother, Jack, is always telling me l don't know when to quit.
l see.
But what about your illness? lsn't that a weakness? No.
Actually, l consider it a strength.
lt taught me the importance of asking for help when something's too tough to handle on your own.
We keep coming back to this topic, don't we? -ls that a problem? -No, not at all.
ln fact, most teenagers go through similar experiences.
lt's nothing to be ashamed of.
lt's just that l prefer to concentrate on the present.
And the future.
That's just one part of my life.
lt does not define me as a person.
Well, although l'm sure you consider yourself recovered perhaps someone with your background would do better in a less competitive environment.
-Less competitive? -Perhaps a state school.
So you want to disregard all of my accomplishments and achievements because l had a problem in the past? Andie, understand the position you put me in.
l have the task of judging your ability to handle the ardent pressures of one of the most difficult collegiate environments in the country.
My name is on the line.
You know what? You're right.
My background does have a bearing on my ability handle pressure.
l had a problem.
l recognized that, sought treatment and recovered.
And the fact that l had the courage to face my problems and get help l think only makes me better prepared to face the pressures of college than most of my peers.
l wish you all the best.
And now if you'll excuse me.
This means severe beach erosion 20- to 30-foot seas and winds that will certainly exceed hurricane force in certain areas.
Did he say, '' hurricane force''? --gusts over 1 00 miles per hour.
He said, ''exceed hurricane force.
'' Damn it.
l'll never get home now.
Joey, l'm out of here.
lf you wanna work later, let me know.
-Dawson, they're out there.
-Who's out there? Pacey and Jen are out on the boat.
No wonder you've been out of it.
Why didn't you say something? lt wasn't this bad.
Hi, guys.
Have you seen Andie? l was supposed to pick her up.
-Hey, Jack.
l'm here.
-l came early.
lt's ugly out there.
Not half as ugly as it got back there.
-Drue? -Yeah.
-Where's your mother? -What's the matter, Bruce? All boats from the club are secure except three.
Those three radioed in and will need assistance to the harbour.
-ls one of the boats the True Love? -The True Love is out there? -There's no slip registered for name.
-Whoa, Pacey's out there? -Pacey and Jen.
-Pacey doesn't have any registration.
-He just uses whatever slip is vacant.
-l haven't heard anything about it.
l know that it's out there.
lt is definitely out there.
The radios are definitely blown, but l think l got this bilge pump working.
-Aren't you supposed to be on watch? -There's nothing to watch but water.
-Pacey, the boat's gonna capsize! -She's not gonna capsize.
Really?! Then why am l flat on my ass? She'll come over, all right? lt's what she does.
There you go.
Put that on, all right? -All right.
-We'll reef the main.
-English, please.
-We'll trim up the mainsail so we don't get knocked over.
-lsn't that just gonna slow us down? -Nope.
We're not going back into port.
lt's too dangerous.
We might hit a dock-- Wait, so we're just gonna hang out here? We'll go to a cove l know.
lt'll give us protection.
What cove? l don't know its name, but l know where it is.
Well, how far away is it? Not that far! We'll ride out the storm there! lt's the safest thing to do! -Pacey, what if this gets worse? -lt's not gonna get any worse! Pacey! lf it gets any worse, they'll send someone for us! We have no radio, and we're going to a cove you don't know the name of! Who is gonna find us there?! Dawson! Dawson will know! Three boats trying to make their way into the harbour.
You said none of them are the True Love.
We're escorting them.
lf your friends are out there, we'll get them back.
Pacey wouldn't dock.
No way he'd risk his boat.
No sensible person would stay out there in this.
There's a cove at Crescent lsland.
We went there as kids.
That's where he is.
ln this weather, Crescent lsland would provide very little protection.
-He doesn't know.
-How could he not? Obviously his radio's broken.
That's why no one has heard from him.
l'm sorry.
l can't send someone miles out to sea in hurricane-force winds -because you've got a hunch.
-Look, you have to listen to him.
Let's get the boats in.
lf we still haven't heard from them, l'll send someone.
-But what if it's too late? -l'm sorry.
That's the best l can offer.
-They're there, Jo.
-Well, what can we do about it? Go get him.
ls there a boat l can borrow? l think Mrs.
Valentine has a set of keys to all the boats at the club.
Which is why it's a good idea to be nice to Mrs.
Valentine's little boy.
Try slip 41 , the Artful Dodger.
Don't let the old geeze see you.
We rode out a storm together in this cove up here! How the hell are we gonna get through that?! You grab the tiller! l'm gonna drop the mainsail! Pacey! Here.
Come on! -l'll radio in when l know something.
-You're not going without me.
Joey, you're not coming with me.
l'm not negotiating this.
-Whatever your reason-- -ls my reason! Dawson, you can't solo the open seas, not in this weather! -Joey-- -l can't worry about the both of you! Let's go.
Untie the dock line.
Okay, get down! Everybody just get down! On the floor covered with glass? Somebody should clean up this mess! -Where's the waitress? -You don't know? She and Dawson went after Pacey and Jen in Mr.
Brooks' boat.
They stole my boat? No, l'm sure they didn't steal it.
They probably just borrowed it.
Semantics.
Like the difference between jail and prison.
Okay.
Jack, l'm gonna go to the office and try and get in contact with them.
Board up the windows.
lf you can't find boards, shove tables against them.
-Okay.
You got it.
-You can't just move the tables.
-Watch me.
-Do you have other suggestions on how to keep the storm out? No.
l didn't think so.
Okay.
Why don't you write.
That's Dawson Leery's parents, Jen Lindley's grandmother.
Call them, reassure them.
Can you do that? -Yes.
Yes, l can do that.
-Okay.
Mr.
Brooks, come with me.
l'll need your boat's frequency to contact Dawson and Joey, okay? And you.
Why don't you find a broom or a mop or something and sweep up the glass.
You want me to sweep? What do l look like to you, huh? You know what you look like? A boy with nothing to do.
Now find a broom.
Pacey, tell me something good.
l really wanna hear something good right now.
Well, how about if you gonna have a hole in your hull -it's good to have it that high.
Good? -All right.
Unless, of course, the boat does that.
The bilge pump will take care of that.
-How do you know? -Jen, l don't know.
Because l'm guessing, just like l've been guessing about everything else.
But l'll be right about something.
That's the law of averages.
l have to get one right.
-Stop making fun.
lt's not-- -All right.
You got any better ideas? l got one.
We should be doing that confession thing.
Like they do in movies before the plane's about to hit down or the meteor's gonna crash into America and all the characters confess the secrets that have been plaguing their mortal souls.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, those characters rarely survive those confessions.
All right, so we just step back a notch.
No confessions.
Just regrets.
Unfortunately, l can't help you there, because l don't have regrets.
lt's not the way that l operate.
Really? You have no regrets? There's nothing you would want to change? No.
There's nothing l want to change because it's life's twists and turns and bumps and bruises that make you who you are.
So why regret that? All right.
Well, l have a regret.
l regret that l've never been in love.
-What about Henry? -That wasn't love.
lt couldn't have been.
My big regret is that we may drown before l ever know what love is.
-Jen, you're not gonna drown.
-l don't need the comfort.
Just felt good to say.
Pacey.
-Good? -Yeah.
We're good.
Okay.
l do have one regret.
What? l regret the way that things are between me and Dawson right now.
Have you ever thought about saying something? What difference would it make to say something? lt doesn't change any of our situations.
lt might just feel good to say.
Yeah.
Any sight of the True Love? Over.
I can't even see in front of our boat.
Over.
Where are you? Over.
-l think we're-- -We're not lost.
What's your location? Over.
We're 1 42.
49 north by 1 06.
1 9 west.
That's 1 2 miles north of Kalispell, Montana.
Repeat your coordinates.
Over.
We're 1 0-- Repeat your coordinates.
Dawson? Joey? Are you there? Come in, Dawson, Joey, are you still there? Andie? Andie, are you still there? Andie? We've lost them.
That's all right.
We're almost there.
How can you tell? l can barely even see the tip of my nose out here.
Trust me.
-There they are.
-Yeah, that's them.
l hope they're all right.
Pull up alongside.
We'll tie the boats together.
Careful! We're gonna hit! -We hit something.
-Or something hit us.
-You all right? -Yeah, l'm fine.
-You're right.
lt's a boat.
-lt has to be Dawson.
Come on.
-Pacey, Jen, are you guys all right? -Now we are.
Pacey, take the line! -Got it! -Hey! Come on.
Watch out! -l can make it.
-Hold on.
-You ready? -l'm ready.
You gotta time the jump.
Look for the wave to break and jump to Dawson.
-You got it? -Okay.
-Go! -Yeah.
Now you! Pacey, come on! Let's go! Pacey, let's go! -Pacey, are you crazy? -l'm not leaving my boat! -She's not gonna make it! -l'm not leaving my boat! l'm not leaving you! -Dawson! -Dawson! -Get off my boat! -l'm not letting you do this! -Dawson, go! -Pacey! Get off my boat! Go! People care more about you than this damn boat! Pacey! -Oh, my God.
Thank God.
-Are you guys okay? -Okay.
-Oh, honey.
What you did was reckless, dangerous and completely foolish.
We've never been more proud of you in our entire lives.
Come, Jennifer.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Oh, wrong guy, Grams.
lt's Dawson you should be thanking.
You'll forgive me for not expressing joy and relief at the sight of the gash.
My boat's hull? l'm very sorry about that, sir.
Sorry? You're sorry.
Well, the gash is still there, and sorry isn't gonna fix it.
What else did you have besides feckless regrets? l have some money from the summer that l was saving for college.
Which is exactly what you will keep on doing.
That boat is a thing, a replaceable thing.
This young man risked his life to save my granddaughter.
The fact you can't appreciate his courage explains to me why you've been alone all these years in that godforsaken house.
And if l find out that you let him dip into his college fund, l'll personally kick your shrivelled old butt.
Andie? Andie? l just wanted to tell you l was very impressed with the way you handled yourself today.
-Thank you.
-She did more than handle herself.
-She handled the whole club.
-lndeed.
-She did a fine job.
-Yeah.
She did your job.
Okay, Jack.
Come on.
Let's go.
The university will be very interested in hearing my impressions of you.
l'm also pretty sure they'll be interested in hearing what a bitch they have representing them.
Yeah.
l'm terribly sorry.
But please try to understand the position you've now put me in.
You wouldn't dare.
No, you know what? l wouldn't.
Because at the end of the day, Mrs.
Valentine, l'm nothing like you.
l don't derive any pleasure in wielding whatever little power l have over others.
Just give me the recommendation that you see fit because if anyone at that university knows you as well as l know you it's not gonna count for much anyway.
Come on, Jack, let's go.
Pacey? Do you have any idea how pissed l am at you now? Jo, the best memories of my life are on that sailboat.
lt represents everything that's good to me in this world.
So you gotta excuse me if l'm having a hard time letting that go right now.
No, l won't excuse you.
l don't think l've ever been so scared for someone in my whole life.
l'm sorry that l put you through that.
Just.
Can you do me a favour? You know, in the future when you're dealing with life-and-death matters remember that you're thinking for two.
l can do that.
You knew he was gonna come for you, didn't you? What makes you say that? Because you know him just as well as he knows you.
lt's the nature of best friends.
No.
-Ex-best friends now.
-You know whether you guys hang out or not he's still a part of you, Pace.
How can you really be whole if you continue to pretend like he doesn't exist? Yeah.
Just doesn't seem fair, does it? What's that? Well, you saved the day.
You still don't get the girl.
But maybe, just maybe, you got something more important.
-How do you figure that? -You have this moment.
No matter where your life takes you you can look back on it and know you did a great thing.
That's something all the girls and all the thank-yous in the world can't replace.
Let's go home.
Way to go, Grams.
l always knew you had it in you.
But really.
When we get home, l have some angry femme music that you are just gonna love.
Grams? l can't seem to find my keys anywhere.
-Left them inside.
-Grams? Grams? l didn't think l was ever going to see you again.
lt's okay.
lt's okay.
No.
No, it's not okay.
All night, most of my thoughts were of what l was going to tell your mother.
You handled this much better than my mother ever would have.
l have never lost myself like this before.
All my talk of faith, and when l needed it the most, l had none.
That's because you lent it to me.
Listen, l was terrified out there tonight.
But l still had hope, you know? So l figure that l must have gotten that from somebody.
Here, l got it.
l got it.
Come on.
Does that mean l can count on you for church on Sunday? Not unless you want that place to fall down.
Just thought l'd give it a try.
Come on.
-What are you doing here? -What are you doing here? l live here.
l have for the last two years.
So this is where the Lindleys banished their bad seed.
lt's good to see you, Jen.
Forgive me if l don't say the same thing.
Jennifer Lindley.
The girl who set New York on fire.
l thought moving here was gonna be the most miserable mistake of my life.
l'm sorry, you live here now? You might wanna sound a little more upbeat when you say that.
-A guy could take offence.
-Drue Valentine in Capeside.
God help us all.
Dawson.
-Look, l wanted to come by and just-- -Pacey you don't owe me anything.
Please.
You and l both know that what you did yesterday was-- Was exactly what you would've done.
-Maybe, maybe not.
-Trust me.
You would've done exactly the same thing.
Well, l certainly hope so.
l just wanted to come by and say thank you.
You're welcome.
No, hold on a second.
That's not it.
There's something else l wanted to say to you.
l know that things between you and l are pretty much beyond repair right now.
And l wouldn't presume to be able to solve it with a conversation because that's just not the way it works.
But l've been wanting to tell you that l'm sorry, Dawson.
l'm really sorry for the way everything went down this spring.
For my part in it.
For the pain that it must have caused you.
And l'm really sorry that l ruined our friendship because l miss it badly.
And however far off it may be l do look forward to the day when you and l might be friends again.
So until then.
Until then.
