Dawson's Creek (4)
from the TV Series created by Kevin Williamson
(Dawson walks up behind Jen as she is looking out over the water. Dawson is silent, he just stares at her)
Jen: I'm beginning to feel like your TV set.
Dawson: I didn't know what to say.
Jen: A first? I am really angry, Dawson.
Dawson: I know.
Jen: What do you want from me?
Dawson: I want to know what's going on between us.
Jen: And does that question have to be answered tonight?
Dawson: I'm sorry about tonight, Jen. I-I got scared. Scared I was becoming the friend.
Jen: Oh God, the friend. How awful.
Dawson: It is awful. I feel like I'm becoming that friend who you come Over and tell all your boy adventures to. I don't want that to become the case. I want to be your boy adventure.
(They look over and see a couple sipping wine on their boat)
Jen: Can't you be both?
Dawson: No. Not at 15 you can't. It's too complicated.
Jen: OK. So, I'm interested.
Dawson: In what?
Jen: An adventure. What do I have to do?
Dawson: You could kiss me.
Jen: You know, I really am a cliche, Dawson. In New York, I was moving fast. I was movin' really, really fast. So fast I kept stumbling and falling. But here? Here I feel like, for the first time, in a long time, I'm walking at a steady pace. And I'm afraid, that if I kiss you, my knees will buckle and I don't know if I could handle it now.
(They hear music coming from the boat. The couple starts to dance)
Jen: Would you like to dance?
Dawson: Here?
Jen: I've been waiting to dance with you all night, Dawson.
(They begin to dance) Jen: See-the kiss is just the end result. It's not what's important. It's all about desire and wanting-
Dawson: And romance.
Jen: Yeah, and romance.
