Top 5 Pacey Witter Scenes.
This is for Challenge 17 over at picspammy . I was originally going to do my 5 favorite PJ scenes, but ehh, I've picspammed too many of their scenes before so no thanks. Therefore, I'm just going with Pacey's general scenes since he's one of my all-time favorite characters. They're in no particular order because I can't choose which one I like the absolute best. Enjoy!
3x22 - The Anti-Prom
PACEY: Where did you get those? They're not you.
JOEY: Why, because I'm just a poor tomboy.. or because Dawson gave them to me?
PACEY: Neither. See this? This is you. It's not showy or gaudy. It's simple. Elegant. Beautiful.
JOEY: It's my mom's bracelet.
PACEY: I know.
JOEY: How do you know?
PACEY: Well, because you told me, six months ago. You were wearing that, uh, blue sweater with the snowflakes that you have. We were walking down the hallways at school. I was annoying you as per usual. You said, "Look, Pacey, I just found my mother's bracelet this morning so why don't you cut me some slack."
JOEY: You remember that?
PACEY: I remember everything.
5x04 - The Long Goodbye
PACEY: According to my brother, your father was driving down the road here at about 45 miles an hour. Which is, granted, a little bit above the speed limit, but not at all unusual for this stretch of road. At the same time, a man named Gary Peters was getting off work, driving down the road a little farther up, just around the bend. Gary Peters is a pretty average guy. 35 years old, wife, 2 kids. Works as a baggage handler for blue star airlines. And Gary had to pull a double shift that day, and it must've been a real bitch 'cause when he came around that bend, he was asleep at the wheel.
DAWSON: Why are you doing this, Pacey?
PACEY: Why? Because I want you to know that it was a man named Gary Peters who killed your father. A guy who should've known better than to get behind the wheel of a car. A guy who, for the rest of his life, will carry around the guilt of taking Mitch leery away from his wife and 2 kids. And I want you to know that that guy is not you. It's not you, Dawson. Do not blame yourself for this. You wanna grieve? You go right ahead. Be my guest. But do not for one single second think that this is your fault, because it is not your fault. You got your father for 18 years... and that is a hell of a lot more than some people get. And your father did one hell of a job, Dawson. He made you into a man. And he made you into a man that people care about and admire and respect and most importantly, love. So, why am I doing this? I'm doing this because, once upon a time, you and I were best friends. And that means that whenever you need me, I'm here. Any time, anywhere, any place. Forever. You understand that?
2x20 - Reunited
PACEY: You have to, Andie. You have to choose, and I'm begging you from the bottom of your heart, to please choose me. Open this door, come out, and choose me. You are so special. You give so much to everybody around you, and you know what, Andie? I need you more than Tim does and so does Jack.
ANDIE: That's not true.
PACEY: My life began when I met you Andie, and you never gave up on me so I'm not going to give up on you. So please, Andie, for the love of God, come out here and choose me. Please..
2x14 - To Be Or Not To Be..
PACEY: What part of you is it that gets off on torturing students? Everyone in this class may be afraid of you, but I'm not! I see your miserable scare tactics for exactly what they are, the misguided lassions of a bitter, lonely old man who only feels good when somebody in the class feels worse.
MR. PETERSON: Thank you for the analysis, Mr. Witter. I'll send a check along with the 'F' you'll get on your report card.
PACEY: You can't fail me! I've gotten a 'B' or better on every test we've had in this class.
MR. PETERSON: Well, I can. I've been waiting to fail you all quarter.
PACEY: You disgust me.
MR. PETERSON: And you, Mr. Witter, are a failure. Destined to always be a failure. Trying to teach people like you is like spitting in the face of the entire educational system.
*Pacey spits in his face*
PACEY: No, sir. That is spitting in the face of the entire educational system.

PACEY: I should start by saying that I'm more ashamed for what I did in that classroom yesterday than anything I have done in my life. It was dead wrong and I have no case here and I'm sorry. However, I am not now, nor will I ever be, apologetic for its intention. Everyday we, the students of Capeside, come to a place where you guys are in charge. You tell us when to arrive, and when to leave, and when to move rooms, and when to eat. You tell us when we're doing well and when we need to be doing better and we never, ever question it because we're afraid to. To question it is to go against the belief that the entire system is built upon. The belief that you guys know what's right. And I'm not afraid to tell you that what happened in that classroom was not right. To make a student cry, to embarrass him, to strip him of his dignity in front of his classmates, is not right. And while I do respect the system, I do NOT respect men like you, Mr. Peterson, I don't. I can't. And I never will. Not after what you did. You have a good afternoon.
2x12 - Uncharted Waters
PACEY: Andie's beautiful. She's smart. She's funny. I tell ya, this girl's really something special, Dad. For whatever reason, she seems to think I'm pretty special, too. So why can't you see that? Why can't you see me man? When did you give up on me? When I was 5? 10? 12? I'm 16 years old, Dad! And I'm here and I'm not proving that but I'm trying so hard for you. And it's your job. It's your job to love me no matter who I am or what I become because you're my father! You're my dad! You're supposed to love me you son of a bitch. I can't do this by myself.
