Quotes[]
❝
- That you'll always be as honest with me as you were last night. Cause that's the hardest part about having a relationship. It's so much harder than sex
- —Gretchen to Dawson
❝
- Trusting someone is like this gigantic act of faith. You put it out there and you can never really be sure if you're gonna get it back. Sex... sex is just mechanical
- —Gretchen to Dawson
❝
- Dawson – For that question I asked you a couple weeks ago. That very personal question. I should have never asked you. I don't know why I did. It was some masochistic side of me that I haven't explored yet. Probably the same side of me that's sabotaging my relationship with Gretchen
- Joey – You think you're sabotaging your relationship?
- Dawson – Well, mentioning you every 30 seconds, I'm sure doesn't help
❝
- Jen – How’d you manage to surpass me in the knowledge of all things gay
- Jack – Sex and the City
❝
