PACEY'S COMING BACK FROM THE RESTROOM. HE STOPS AND LEANS ON THE COUNTER IN FRONT OF JOEY.
J: HEY. YOU LOOK LIKE I FEEL.

P: AND FOR THAT I AM TRULY SORRY.

J: NEW JOB'S NOT WORKING OUT SO WELL?

P: I DON'T KNOW, JO. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN BE THE GUY.

J: WHAT KIND OF GUY IS THAT?

P: THE KIND WHO PUTS ON A SUIT IN THE MORNING AND LEAVES HIS SOUL BEHIND, YOU KNOW?

J: WELL, NOBODY SAID YOU HAD TO DO THIS FOR A LIVING.

P: NO, BUT I SAID I WOULD DO IT FOR NOW, AND I DON'T WANT TO DO IT HALF-WAY, JO. I'M DONE WITH BEING APATHETIC. IF I'M DOING THIS, I WANT TO DO IT WELL.

J: I DON'T KNOW, APATHY MIGHT BE OVERRATED. CARING SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN ME INTO ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE.

P: WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TODAY?

J: YOU SEE, THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU BEING FAR AWAY FROM THIS INCESTUOUS CAMPUS. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY. (A BEAT, SHE SHAKES HER HEAD) LONG STORY. I WROTE SOMETHING TO DAWSON. I DON'T KNOW WHY I THOUGHT MORE WORDS WOULD HELP AT THIS POINT. ANYWAY, IT GOT OUT TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL. NOT TO HIM, MIND YOU, BUT EVERYONE ELSE IN THE ACADEMIC COMMONWEALTH.

P: OH, MAN

J: I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THAT PART ANYMORE. IT'S MORE LIKE THE SCRUTINY OF STRANGERS IS NEW TO ME. I JUST WISH I'D NEVER WRITTEN IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I WISH I DIDN'T CARE SO MUCH.

P: IT'S WHO YOU ARE, JO. AND IT'S A GOOD THING. AND AS FAR AS THE DAWSON THING GOES, FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE.

J: WHICH IS WHAT EXACTLY?

P: YOU TOOK A HUGE LEAP. SO WHAT IF IT DIDN'T WORK OUT? YOU TRIED. YOU ACTED ON AN IMPULSE. DON'T LET THIS ONE THING REWRITE YOUR ENTIRE HISTORY WITH THE GUY. YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO BE SO CYNICAL, AND IT'S TOO EASY TO GO WITH THE MOMENTUM OF A BAD THING. LIFE SUCKS AND THAT'S HOW IT IS AND WHATNOT. ADMITTING WE CARE AND DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT MIGHT BE A NICE CHALLENGE.

JOEY LOOKS AT HIM FOR A BEAT, SMILES.

J: I DON'T KNOW, PACE. YOU SOUND AN AWFUL LOT LIKE SOMEONE WHO'S GOING BACK TO WORK IN THE MORNING.

P: I DO?

J: COME ON, YOU CAN'T GET ALL INSPIRATIONAL AND HYPOCRITICAL ON ME AT THE SAME TIME. MAYBE IF YOU WERE A BARE MINIMUM KIND OF GUY, BUT YOU AND I HAVE THIS ANNOYING HABIT OF TRYING TO PROVE PEOPLE WRONG. (THEN) JUST MAKE SURE YOU TAKE YOUR SOUL WITH YOU WHEN YOU TAKE OVER THE COMPANY, OKAY

P: CAN'T SHAKE THE DAMN THING OFF. (BEAT) LISTEN, I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN CONVINCE YOUR ROOMMATE OVER THERE TO CALL IT A NIGHT. THE SOONER THIS DAY ENDS, THE BETTER.

J: I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW , PACE.

P: THAT YOU WILL.

PACEY WALKS BACK TO AUDREY...

Bunnie, they cut it out. It's like they are trying to keep Pacey and Joey as far away as possible. I use to be positive, but I am losing hope. Did you read my other post yet? Thanks

I remember the last time they cut out a Pacey and Joey scene from 510 Appetite for Destruction. It was when they had one of the most honest conversations of the season. It's at secret scenes on the Dawson's Creek Website.
