Dawson's Creek (6)
from the TV Series created by Kevin Williamson
Joey: Dawson...
Dawson: God, I mean, I'm sitting here with my best friend in the world, and my palms are sweating. I've known you forever, but I feel like I'm seeing you for the first time tonight. Joey? What's wrong?
Joey: I don't know, Dawson. There's something that's just not right about this.
Dawson: Joey I thought this was what you wanted. I mean...
Joey: Well, I was wrong. I mean, dressing up, playing the princess. You and I both know this isn't me.
Dawson: Of course it is.
Joey: I thought this was what I wanted. You to see me as beautiful. For you to look at me the way that you look at Jen. But the truth is, I don't want that at all Dawson. I want you to look at me and see the person you've always known and realize that what we have is so much more incredible than some passing physical attraction because you know what Dawson? This is just lipstick. And this is just hair spray. Tomorrow I'm going to wake up, and I'm going to be Joey. Just Joey. The too-tall girl from the wrong side of the creek.
Dawson: Joey this is all new we should talk about it. No matter what happens. We can't go back to the way things were.
Joey: Dawson, you've had a lifetime to process your feelings for me. And I can't spend the rest of my life hoping that you might throw a general glance in my direction between all the torture-teen romances when every Jen Lindley rolls around.
Dawson: Joey don't walk away from this.
Joey: I have to Dawson.
