[Pacey and his father are on the beach. The father has just fallen over from being drunk]Pacey: So I guess this is as good of time as any to have that father-son talk. [in a gruff voice, meaning to imitate his father] So, how ya doin' in school, Pacey? [back to normal voice] Actually, Dad, I'm doing alright. I'm really turning things around. Turns out I'm pretty smart. [gruff voice] Good man, Pacey. Always knew you'd turn out to be something. How the ladies treating you? [normal] Well, I met this woman. [gruff] Is she cute? [normal, he laughs] Aw, cute, man. Andi's beautiful. She's smart. She's funny. I tell ya, this girl is something special.For whatever reason, she seems to think I'm pretty special, too. Why can't you see that? Why can't you see me, huh? When did you give up on me? When I was 5? 10? 12? I'm 16 years old, Dad! [begins to cry] And I'm here and I'm not provin' that but I'm tryin' so hard for you. 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.
