man I love pacey monologues!
Pacey: Well, I should probably just start first by
saying that you, Josephine potter, have just
wrecked me. In the best possible way, you have
absolutely wrecked me. Because, you see, I fell in
love with you knowing that there was never any
possibility of being with you, knowing full well that
a sizeable chunk of your heart would... Always be
wrapped up in our friend Dawson. And that much
was actually ok with me, right up until the point
that you chose me. [Sighs] 'cause then you just
turned everything on its head. Then I got everything that I wanted, and from that day
forward I’ve just been a wreck.
Joey: Why?
Pacey: Because... Now all I can do is just wait for
the other shoe to drop. You know, just wait for you
to realize what a big mistake you've made. Wait
for you to realize that I’m just gonna be a big
disappointment. And just wait for you to realize
that-- that Dawson is the guy that you want to be
with.
Pacey: Well, maybe I just wanted these people to
see you through my eyes just for one night. To
see this girl, this woman, who has more class and
intelligence and beauty and grace than anyone
else who's walking the face of the planet. And
maybe things like this just come tumbling out of
my mouth because I happen to be head over
heels in love with you, but the really scary thing is-
-is... I think that they're true.
Pacey: You want to know what the truth is, Jo? I
still love you, and I probably will love you for a
very long time. But I can't just be your buddy.
'Cause, as much as I enjoy the concept of being
just friends, in reality, it's a bizarre form of torture,
and I'm just not willing to participate in it. So, right
now, what I want to do is just move on and get
over you, and the only way for me to do that is to
not be around you anymore.
