Quotes
“
- I don't think I'll ever love anyone the way that I loved you, either. And that's a good and a bad thing
- —Joey to Dawson
“
- I'm at the prom, Pacey. I'm at the prom again. I mean, I graduated four years ago and I'm still here. You know, tonight for the first time, I didn't just feel older than Dawson, I felt old. Too old to be here. Too old to be doing what I'm doing
- —Gretchen to Pacey
“
- You know what? It's the strangest thing, but ever since I got back from that trip with Doug, I've been feeling...really angry. But not angry at myself. It's actually worse than that. I've been feeling really angry at Joey. And I don't know why I'm angry at Joey. And that makes me feel guilty, and then the guiltier that I feel, the angrier I get, and I still don't know what to do about it
- —Pacey
“
- You know what I actually realized when I saw the two of you dancing there together? That is the happiest I have seen you all night. I mean, I think it's actually the happiest I've seen you in weeks. You want to know what's worse than that? I don't care. I saw the two of you dancing together, and I just don't care. I'm not angry. I'm not jealous. I'm not upset. I'm really not much of anything
- —Pacey after seeing Dawson and Joey
“
- You know...last year...I felt like I could give you something that no one else could give you. I could give you that wall to paint your mural on. I could take you away on a sailboat for a summer. I could even give you that night in the ski lodge. But I don't feel like I have anything left to give you now, Jo. I guess I'm spent. I've become a man who hates himself so much he can't even look at his own reflection in the mirror, and I wish that I could tell you that being with you doesn't make that worse, but it does... because the more that you love me in spite of that, the angrier that I get at you... and the more that I stop loving you back
- —Pacey to Joey
“
- You've spent your entire life trying to get out of Capeside, Joey, because you felt like you deserved better. Well, I am Capeside. That's why I didn't get out and you did, and you do deserve better. You deserve better than this place, and you deserve better than me
- —Pacey to Joey
Trivia
- Pacey breaks up with Joey at prom, loudly and in front of everyone.

BEHIND THE SCENES

“
- It’s not the most fun thing in the world, but I agreed to play this role, and [producer] Greg Berlanti does want to take it that far. That’s as far as I’m going to take it. I don’t think teenagers need to see two guys kissing on a weekly basis
- —Kerr Smith[1]
