Dawson's Creek Season 1 Episode 6 Baby
Dawson's Creek Season 1 Episode 6 Baby
Transcript
00:00Mrs. Ryan, the fact that I'm black and she's white,
00:03or that we're unmarried and about to have a child in sin.
00:06That child will be identified as different.
00:09Part black, part white.
00:11This child will be 100% loved.
00:14This can't happen again.
00:16From now on, our relationship is strictly teacher-student.
00:19If you could do any one thing right now, what would it be?
00:25You know we're gonna have to end this. It's getting too dangerous.
00:31I'm sorry.
00:37All right. Great movie.
00:39Thanks a lot. I gotta go.
00:41JoJo, slow down. What's the rush?
00:43I hate to cut the festivities short, but Bessie's due next week,
00:46and she needs extra help around the house.
00:48Come on, Jo. Bordy can take care of anything that Bessie needs.
00:51Plus, you can't leave now. We've only watched one movie.
00:53We never watch just one movie on movie night.
00:56Well, first time for everything.
00:58A night of firsts all around.
01:00What are you talking about?
01:02Look, I'm talking about the obvious,
01:05which I know we've all tried our best to ignore,
01:07but it's easy to see that I've intruded on a very personal ritual here,
01:11and clearly my presence is making you uncomfortable,
01:14so I'll tell you what.
01:16Jo, you stay and watch another movie. I'll just go.
01:19Wait, you don't have to do that.
01:21No, it's okay. I mean, you and I have decided to slow things down,
01:24so I'm sure that a few hours apart won't kill us.
01:27Besides, Grams has kind of been on the warpath,
01:30meaning once she sees Joey leave,
01:32there's no way she's going to trust you and I alone,
01:34so I should go.
01:36Well, don't leave on my account.
01:38I mean, I'm not interested in ruining anyone's evening.
01:41No, no, it's not you at all. Don't take it personally.
01:44Great. Settled. Next issue. What to watch?
01:47Okay, this is no solution, Joey.
01:49If we both stay, we're going to be stuck in the same uncomfortable position
01:52we've been in all night.
01:54All right, so let me get this straight.
01:56Movie night has been reduced to the following.
01:58You can't stay if she leaves
02:00because your grandmother wouldn't permit it,
02:02and you can't stay if she stays because it's awkward.
02:05Yeah.
02:06And you can't stay if she leaves
02:08because you feel like you've driven her away,
02:10and you can't stay if she's here
02:12because it ruins movie night for you.
02:14Well put.
02:16Well, since this is my house
02:18and we assume that I can't go anywhere,
02:20according to my calculations,
02:22according to my calculations, it only leaves one option.
02:25Night, boss.
02:26Wait a minute.
02:28I'll see you tomorrow.
02:30Don't stay up too late.
02:33Movie night?
02:35Way too complicated.
02:39My heart is in my hands
02:43My head is in the clouds
02:47My feet have left the ground
02:50My life is turning around around
02:56Every voice inside my head
03:00Is telling me to run like mad
03:04Oh, balls and arrows
03:06Stars and sunsets
03:09Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:11Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:13Every heartbeat
03:15Every kiss
03:17Just makes me wonder
03:19What all this is
03:21Suits of armor
03:23Hearts and arrows
03:25Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:30Never seen the sky so blue
03:38I've never been happier than I am right now
03:46Good morning, sweetheart.
03:50How are we feeling this morning?
03:52Well, if you're nauseous and swollen and irritable,
03:55so I'd say we're feeling exactly the same way.
03:58Look at the bright side.
04:00Your due date's the 22nd.
04:02In less than a week, this'll all be over.
04:04A week?
04:05This cannot last another week.
04:07It's inhumane.
04:08I don't sleep anymore.
04:10My legs are fat.
04:11My back is killing me.
04:12I feel like retching 23 hours a day.
04:14Did you know the average gestation period
04:17for the fruit bat is two months?
04:19Two months, that's fair.
04:21That's reasonable.
04:22Why can't I give birth to a fruit bat?
04:24Because we're about 80% sure you're human.
04:28Do you still live here?
04:30Unfortunately.
04:32When's your interview?
04:34Today, after work.
04:35That new French restaurant over in Hyannis.
04:37You know, if you don't like it here, Joy,
04:39no one's stopping you from moving out.
04:41In fact, in most states, you'd be considered an adult.
04:44Oh, that's funny.
04:46Because you wouldn't.
04:48Bodhi.
04:49Come on, Joy, your sister isn't feeling very well today.
04:52How about taking it easy on her, okay?
04:58Look, I know the matriarch's been a handful lately,
05:02but she's due next week.
05:04Once the baby comes, I promise she'll be back to her old self again.
05:07That's what I'm afraid of.
05:17What in heaven's name is this?
05:20It's a calendar, Gramps.
05:22It's a filthy calendar.
05:24No, it's an art calendar.
05:26And before you get apoplectic on me,
05:28these photographs happen to be hanging
05:30in some of the world's finest art galleries.
05:32I don't care who's hanging them in my house,
05:34we don't ogle naked men.
05:36No, we pray to them, right?
05:39Don't you dare compare the two.
05:42Don't you dare compare the two.
05:44My Lord, Jennifer,
05:46what has happened to you?
05:48To the little girl I used to know,
05:50who I took to Sunday school
05:52when she would come visit me each summer,
05:54and who once showed respect for the church
05:56and its teachings.
05:58Well, she's carefully considered
06:00all possible scenarios detailing a godlike source,
06:02and she's found them unconvincing.
06:05And while she respects those who choose to believe
06:07in a higher being, she herself does not.
06:10Simply put, Gramps, she grew up.
06:13Perhaps. Perhaps.
06:15She just thinks she did.
06:21I think we should go out this weekend.
06:23Just you and me.
06:25We usually do, Pacey.
06:27No, we don't go out. We stay in.
06:29We first invent some school-related reason
06:31why I need to come over to your place
06:33on a Friday night,
06:35and then we lock the doors and close the blinds
06:37so that none of the townsfolk
06:39can possibly see us together.
06:41I know that you're having trouble acknowledging
06:43the fact that we have a relationship,
06:45but you have to admit there's something going on here.
06:48Yes, there is something.
06:50Right. So you know what?
06:52I think we should start acting like it.
06:54Going out. In public. Together.
06:56It'll be great. Like a real couple.
06:58See, that's sweet, but it's hardly practical.
07:00It doesn't have to be in Cape Soddock.
07:02We can go down to Providence, okay?
07:04We'll have dinner, catch a movie.
07:06Nobody knows us down there.
07:08Like all the rest of the dysfunctional couples
07:10out for a good time on a Saturday night.
07:12So what do you say?
07:14Will you go out with me and Miss Jacobs?
07:20She said she'd go to Providence with you?
07:22Well, she didn't say yes,
07:24but she didn't say no either.
07:26She just... she gave me that
07:28I really want to, Pacey, but I just can't.
07:30Look.
07:32The way I got this figured,
07:34once I get my learner's permit,
07:36I'm gonna leave completely.
07:42What are you doing?
07:44Well, you know, you really can't be too careful
07:46with this information.
07:48I really feel for you, Pace,
07:50spending all your time trying to get Miss Jacobs
07:52out of the bedroom.
07:54Listen, this relationship is not all about sex, okay?
07:56I mean, luckily for me, some of it is.
07:58Well, hey, I better get going.
08:00I don't want your girlfriend to think I'm standing her up.
08:02Hey, dude, you gotta be careful, too.
08:04Don't worry.
08:08Oh, man.
08:12Okay, it wasn't easy,
08:14but I think I may have finally found an upside
08:16to my parents' marital woes.
08:18Mitch and Gail are off to couples therapy this weekend
08:20and they have left Leary Manor in my sole possession, so...
08:22Okay, that's nice and everything, but...
08:24It's nice, okay? I was hoping for something
08:26a little bit more illicit than that.
08:28Okay, listen, there's this kind of weird Pacey rumor
08:30going around in school. Have you heard this?
08:32The one that ended a homework assignment in on time?
08:34Not exactly, and it's not just about Pacey.
08:36It also involves Miss Jacobs.
08:38What about them?
08:40Well, let's just say that for a student and teacher,
08:42they have an exceptionally close relationship.
08:44So close, in fact,
08:46it's considered illegal in about 35 states.
08:48Um...
08:50Maybe we can still get this in the book.
08:52Who told you?
08:54The question should be who didn't tell me, doesn't it?
08:56It's out there. It's prevalent.
08:58We've got to find Pacey.
09:00Wait, it doesn't.
09:02Is it true?
09:04It doesn't.
09:06I can never lie to you.
09:08I told you that before.
09:10So do me a favor. Pretend you never asked me that question.
09:16I don't think you guys
09:18are going to believe what I just heard.
09:20Oh, I've been very wrong.
09:24Shane.
09:28Just surprise me
09:37if it's true.
09:45But Joey said she heard the cane leavers
09:48smoking in one of the stalls.
09:49Overheard everything.
09:50Well, that figures...
09:52My life's been going a little too well lately,
09:54so I had to balance that out.
09:56My pace is not that bad.
09:57You know, I really appreciate that effort, Dawson, but it really is that bad.
10:02You know what?
10:03Let's be honest.
10:04It's worse.
10:05This is cataclysmic.
10:06This is one of those rare milestone events that separates the first half of your life
10:09from everything that follows.
10:11My only consolation is the faint hope that this does not reach tomorrow.
10:17So you know, if you would just allow me a moment here to symbolically drop my chin into
10:21my chest and feel really, really sorry for myself, it would be much appreciated.
10:25Okay, look.
10:26Basically, granted, this is not good, but this is in your hands.
10:29You can control this now.
10:30It's the wrong time for the Obi-Wan moment, Dawson.
10:31No, listen to me.
10:32Look, as far as you're concerned, the only thing worse than a rumor is a substantiated
10:38rumor.
10:39If you walk out that door, hanging your head doing the whole, woe is me, thing, it's as
10:42good as admitting that it's all true.
10:44But if you go through those halls like you couldn't care less, like this is the most
10:47ridiculous thing you've ever heard, then there's a chance this whole thing could be dead and
10:51buried by six period.
10:52I can do that.
10:53I can be cool, casual, a smile, a wink, an easy stride through the home-ec wing.
11:02You know, like nothing happened, right?
11:03I got a lot of care in the world.
11:04Yeah, absolutely.
11:06I got a lot of care in the world.
11:07Yeah, absolutely.
11:36Romeo and Juliet offers perhaps the most notable exploration of the forbidden fruit theme
11:54that we'll examine this year.
11:57Not anymore.
12:00Mr. Winter.
12:04Mr. Winter.
12:05You're late.
12:06He's probably resting up from last night.
12:09Hey, man, settle a bet.
12:12Real or silicon?
12:14Keep up with the running commentary, Mr. Twitchell, and I'll see you after class.
12:19You promise?
12:21All right.
12:23Settle down.
12:25Now, where were we?
12:31Forbidden fruit.
12:34Hey, Talbot.
12:37Feel free to keep on walking.
12:49I won't think you're rude.
12:58Look, despite first impressions, I'm not here to bust on you.
13:05I don't know if the rumors are true or exaggerated, or if this is one of your bizarre attempts
13:13to appear more attractive to the senior girls, but I just wanted to say I know what you must
13:19be going through, man.
13:21No, I really doubt you know what I'm going through.
13:25Let me see.
13:26People stare at you when you walk down the hall.
13:28We've seen that.
13:29They whisper behind your back.
13:31You suddenly overhear your name in a conversation of strangers, and pretty soon a justifiable
13:35paranoia sets in.
13:36And whether they are or not, you're convinced that everyone's talking about you.
13:40Imagine if you'd done something even worse.
13:43Like what?
13:44Like sharing a house with your pregnant, unwed sister and her black boyfriend while your
13:48father serves time on a drug conviction?
13:53Imagine that, Pacey.
13:55We actually have something in common.
13:58Providing gossip for the small-minded townsfolk.
14:06And unfortunately for you, you're tonight's top story.
14:16Right.
14:19So what do I do now?
14:22Same thing I did.
14:25Pray like hell for a better story to come along.
14:32Graham's way of dealing with my point of view is to pretend that it doesn't exist, which
14:36of course infuriates me, and it causes me to speak emotionally rather than rationally,
14:42and I become rude and offensive, and I give her even more of a reason to dismiss my viewpoints.
14:49It's like we're locked in this awful, vicious cycle.
14:52Well, I mean, you gotta do something.
14:54You can't just ignore her for three years until you go away to college.
14:57I can't?
14:59Great, there goes plan A.
15:02Hmm.
15:04There she is, right on schedule, keeping an ever-vigilant eye over my wanton lifestyle.
15:11Okay, I'll see you tonight, alright?
15:13Alright.
15:16Dinner's at six.
15:17I'd like you washed up and at the table then, please.
15:20Sure.
15:32Bessie?
15:34Bessie!
15:36Joey!
15:38I'm so glad you're here.
15:40What happened?
15:41Are you okay?
15:42Oh, it's nothing really.
15:45I was on the way to the clinic.
15:47I guess I had a little mishap.
15:49The clinic? I didn't know you had an appointment today.
15:51Oh, I don't. In fact, my next appointment isn't until my due date on the 22nd,
15:55but my hunch is I'll probably have to reschedule.
15:58Why?
16:00Because I'm fairly certain I'm in labor.
16:03Oh my God.
16:06We have to move Joey.
16:08It's under control.
16:10But I need to call an ambulance.
16:12Since our telephone isn't exactly in working order at this very moment,
16:16it's not no...
16:18man.
16:19Which means the nearest phone around here belongs to your friend Dawson.
16:22I need you to get me there ASAP.
16:24Well, Dawson's house may be the closest, but it's not exactly the most convenient.
16:28I mean, there's really only...
16:32one way to get there from here.
16:42Come on.
16:53Don't worry, Bessie. I'll get us there.
16:55At the rate you're going, Joey, the two of us is gonna be the three of us.
17:00Come on. Give me those.
17:03You're rolling like a girl.
17:06You know, I'm gonna stop calling you Josephine.
17:12Hang on.
17:16I thought you were supposed to be some expert oarsman.
17:19Yeah, and I thought you were supposed to give birth next week in a hospital.
17:25Oh my God, Bessie, the boat's leaking.
17:28It's not the boat, Joey.
17:30Then what is it?
17:36Uh, it's not?
17:38Can you at least call me when he gets back?
17:42Joey, hey, I'm glad you're here.
17:44I'm kind of worried about Bessie. I can't seem to find her.
17:46No time to talk, Dawson. My sister's having her baby.
17:49Oh, congratulations.
17:50On your lawn.
17:52What?
17:54Okay, sure, but I...
17:56I understand.
17:58Yeah, please, I'll hold.
18:00What are they saying?
18:01The good news is the ambulance is on its way.
18:03The bad news is it's stopping at Duxbury first.
18:05Duxbury? That's an hour away.
18:07Traffic accident. Major pileup. Childbirth is not a high priority today.
18:10But they're getting me an E.T. in a second.
18:12Right. One hospital with one ambulance and no doctor within 30 miles.
18:16Another of the hidden joys of living in the middle of nowhere.
18:20Yes, I'm still here.
18:22How long?
18:23Did you reach Bodie? Where's Bodie?
18:25No, I called the ice house and they said he caught the bus for Hyannis already.
18:29Okay, they're gonna get the ambulance here as soon as they can.
18:32They just can't make any guarantees, that's all.
18:38Listen, you sorry-ass civil servant, this is the mother-to-be talking.
18:42Maybe I'm not in the tax bracket that guarantees a prompt response to medical distress,
18:46but I have a shoe full of amniotic fluid, my pelvis is beating like a rumba band,
18:51and I'm in real danger of having my first child delivered by two high school students.
18:55So why don't you stop making excuses,
18:58get off your oversized backside, and get us an ambulance before my fetus enters college!
19:05Oh, terrific.
19:07I'm sure they'll be right on their way.
19:10Let's not have this conversation, Pacey.
19:35What conversation?
19:36The one where you apologized to me and tended my wounded heart,
19:40all the while explaining why you're not to blame for opening up your big mouth.
19:44No, I'm not. I only told Dawson I didn't know Kenny Lieberman was in that bathroom.
19:49There was one boundary placed on this relationship, Pacey.
19:53Not sex, not true intimacy, only one, you don't talk about it.
20:01You don't tell your friends and you don't brag to your classmates.
20:05Although now I wonder if discretion is just too adult a concept for a boy to grasp.
20:10Wait, listen. I just, I want you to hear my side of the story, okay?
20:16It's not what you think.
20:17Well, you can't tell me anything I haven't already overheard in the teacher's lounge.
20:21Oh yes, that's right.
20:23You see, we're already the talk of the faculty,
20:26which means it's only a matter of time before the administration gets wind of it,
20:30and then the school board, and maybe, if we're really lucky,
20:34the district attorney.
20:38I'm sorry, I...
20:40You know, this morning I think it was you suggested that we should do more of the things that couples do.
20:46Well, I've got one idea that fits the bill. Let's break up.
20:50Let's break up.
21:06Oh, where's the damn ambulance?
21:09He's coming, Bess, he's coming.
21:13All right, Odie is not an option. What are we going to do?
21:15I mean, we're not exactly qualified to perform a birthing here.
21:17We haven't even finished high school biology yet.
21:19There's got to be somebody in this town who knows what to do in this situation, right?
21:38What is this?
21:40Standard King James edition, Old and New Testament,
21:43though I am partial to the later chapters.
21:46You know what I'm partial to, Grams, I'm partial to people who respect my privacy
21:50and the right I have to my own beliefs.
21:53And I know that atheism is about the least desirable trait any granddaughter of yours could ever possess,
21:58but it's nothing you should take personally.
22:03And it's not just God either, Grams, I don't have a whole lot of faith in man these days.
22:08Look, I know you don't like me or approve of my family,
22:17and I know that you can think of at least 80 reasons why Bessie and Bodie are the worst kinds of sinners,
22:21but right now, as we speak, my sister is sitting next door in Dawson's house, inches away from giving birth,
22:26and of those 80 reasons, I can't think of any that the baby is actually responsible for.
22:30So if you could remember that as a nurse, you took an oath to help others in need and well,
22:35that'd be really nice.
22:55Great.
22:58So, listen to this.
23:04I'm over Carlton getting a haircut when the guy next to me starts talking about a rumor
23:09that's making the rounds at the high school about some punk kid sleeping with a teacher.
23:14And so I say to myself, well, if it involves sex, it couldn't possibly be my brother Bessie.
23:20Then the guy says, word is, the kid made it all up, that it's all just a lie.
23:28And so I say to myself, bingo.
23:33You know, that's really fascinating, Dougie, you know, and all I could think of,
23:38and it made me sick, mind you, was poor sweet Tamar.
23:43Must be ripping her apart.
23:46Come on, Bessie, why don't you give me a glimpse into the inner workings here, huh?
23:50What was the rationale? Boredom? Or just a classic cry for attention?
23:56Well, actually, no, you know what? I thought it was up to me to let this town know that
24:00at least one person in our family was having heterosexual sex.
24:04And, you know, just as a matter of curiosity,
24:07did it ever occur to you, just for a brief moment, to defend or support me in this conversation?
24:13The Winter Family Credo prevents such emotions.
24:16Oh, that's really heavy, Bessie.
24:18I'm sure the school board will be as moved as I am by that.
24:24Oh, you haven't heard, huh?
24:27Well, it seems your lies have made it all the way up the food chain.
24:31Superintendent Stevens is calling an emergency board meeting
24:34to discuss where the charges should be laid against Miss Jacobs.
24:38No doubt your presence will be requested.
24:41You know, it's funny, isn't it, Bessie?
24:43But there are actually people in this town who take you seriously.
24:51Yeah, unfortunately, you're not one of them.
24:55Look, right now, Bodie is on his way to a French restaurant on the other side of the county,
25:00and the only thing preventing the birth of his first child
25:02from becoming a hazy second-hand story is this little device.
25:07So what do you say for Bodie?
25:10All right, but I want final cut.
25:14Deal.
25:17Bessie, I've got someone to help you.
25:24Please don't tell me you've done what I think you've done.
25:28God, it's not perfect.
25:29How far apart are the contractions?
25:31God, Joey!
25:32What? She's a nurse. She can help.
25:34She's also borderline racist, who hates everything about me
25:37and my boyfriend and our unborn child.
25:40Is everything okay?
25:42Just having an impromptu home birth. Nothing to be concerned about.
25:46Really?
25:47Because I've got a few concerns.
25:49Girls, move that coffee table out of the way.
25:51Pulse is strong. Temperature's fine.
25:55Okay, girls, we're going to move Bessie over into this chair over here.
25:59Gently. Easy, easy, easy.
26:01That's it.
26:06That's it. That's it.
26:10I'm against this, you know.
26:12Okay, Mr. DeMille, you can do us something useful
26:14and get us some large towels and washcloths, please.
26:17That's it. Easy, easy, easy.
26:19That's it.
26:20Calm down. Keep breathing. Slowly.
26:23Easy. That's it. Cushions.
26:31Thank you, Josephine.
26:33It's Joey, actually.
26:35No, it's Judas, actually.
26:39Okay, now, as for you, I'm going to make you a deal.
26:43This is going to be a big day for you,
26:45and as your attending nurse, you may feel an overwhelming
26:48outpouring of gratitude towards me when we are done here today,
26:51but I promise I will not take advantage of your postpartum bliss
26:55and I will resist any urge to bond with you
26:58over the shared experience of this event
27:00if you will do me one small favor in return.
27:03What's that?
27:05Shut up.
27:07Now, where are those towels?
27:19Tammy, listen, I'm so...
27:21Mr. Whitter, we haven't met.
27:23I'm Caroline Fields, Miss Jacobs' attorney.
27:26Attorney?
27:27Under advice from counsel,
27:29she's chosen not to discuss this case with you at the current time.
27:32Wait, this isn't about Tammy.
27:34Mr. Whitter, I must again ask you to please refrain
27:37from communicating directly with my client.
27:39In addition, should you feel the need to speak with her at any future date,
27:43you're instructed to contact me,
27:45and I'll pass along any pertinent information.
27:47Is that clear?
27:52Yeah.
27:55Caroline?
27:57Yes, Mr. Whitter?
28:01Did you tell your client I'm sorry?
28:03Did you tell your client I'm sorry?
28:15Okay, guys, that contraction was exactly 60 seconds apart from the last one.
28:19Okay, completely dilated, dear.
28:22Time to push now.
28:24Push what?
28:26The baby, dear.
28:30It's gonna be okay, Joey.
28:34This session has been convened,
28:36and the reason we've asked you to come before us this afternoon, Miss Jacobs,
28:39is that we find ourselves faced with a persistent rumor,
28:43a disturbing rumor which undoubtedly you've heard.
28:46Yes, I've heard it.
28:48Then let me be direct, Miss Jacobs.
28:50Pacey Whitter is a student of yours in one of your sophomore English classes?
28:54Yes, he is.
28:56There have been allegations of a sexual relationship between yourself and Mr. Whitter.
29:00Please forget my candor, Miss Jacobs, when I ask you,
29:03are these allegations true?
29:08Well, you see...
29:09No. No, they're not.
29:14Mr. Whitter, you are to wait until you're summoned.
29:19Look, I don't mean any disrespect here,
29:22but if you'll just give me a second, I'll have you all home for dinner, okay?
29:26Okay, Mr. Whitter, what is it you need to say?
29:33Look, I know the origin of these rumors has been traced to me,
29:38and I guess that would make sense,
29:42because look at me, here I am, a C-plus student
29:45who sits in the back of Miss Jacobs' English class every day,
29:49daydreaming about the same thing,
29:52daydreaming about the same thing,
29:55about what it would be like to be a little bit better looking,
29:59a little more sophisticated,
30:02and about 15 years older,
30:05because then, and only then,
30:07could Miss Jacobs possibly look at me as anything other than just another one of her students,
30:12and only then could this rumor stand any chance of being true.
30:16I mean, don't get me wrong,
30:19I'm real flattered with the seriousness that you took these allegations,
30:24but, you know, personally I'd always just kind of chalk them up to adolescent fantasy.
30:30I kind of expected you guys to do the same.
30:36Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Whitter, but for the record,
30:39are you saying you deny the aforementioned allegations?
30:42Yeah, for the record, sir, and for anywhere else you want to put it.
30:47Miss Jacobs is my English teacher,
30:50and to my great disappointment,
30:54absolutely nothing else.
31:00Yes, yes, that's it, that's it.
31:03Yes, yes, yes.
31:05You are doing wrong.
31:09Grims, Grims, I need to talk to you.
31:12Grims, there's a lot of money.
31:15What? Did she say blood?
31:17Shh, just relax, dear.
31:20Are you afraid to tell me something's wrong?
31:23If something's wrong, I want to know about it.
31:25Don't be silly, dear, nothing is at all wrong.
31:28Now, what Jennifer doesn't know is a bloody show is a natural part of the birthing process.
31:34The last thing we can have you doing is worrying yourself.
31:37Jennifer, a cool washcloth, now.
31:40Mrs. Ryan, I am doing okay, right?
31:44You're doing great, Bessie, everything's great.
31:46I wouldn't be filming if everything wasn't fine, right?
31:48We're making a movie here.
31:50All right, Mrs. Ryan, smile for the camera.
31:53Ouch!
31:54You are distracting my patient, and I won't have that.
31:58Grims, Grims, there is a problem, isn't there?
32:01Something's wrong with her.
32:02Nothing is at all wrong.
32:04And how dare you alarm my patient by expressing concern?
32:07And how dare you alarm my patient by expressing a contrary opinion in her presence?
32:12Grims, she is losing a lot of blood.
32:14I don't know much about this, but I know what a lot of blood looks like.
32:19Grims!
32:20Oh, yes, all right.
32:21There's more blood than I'd like, but I see no evidence of cervical laceration or detached placenta or...
32:28In English, Grims.
32:31Okay, in English?
32:33I need your help, Jennifer.
32:35I need you to set aside your attitude and second-guessing and help me get this baby out of her
32:40before, God forbid, she loses any more blood and complications worsen.
32:45Do you think you can do that, Jennifer?
32:48Do you think you can summon up even the smallest amount of faith in me?
32:51Because if you can, I guarantee you there'd be no better time for it than right now.
33:02Okay, Bessie, breathe and push, remember?
33:04Breathe and push!
33:08Grims, she's in pain.
33:09What is doing fine, Jennifer?
33:11No, Mrs. Reiner, I need something.
33:13What do you need, dear?
33:14A pill, a medicine, she needs something for the pain.
33:17I don't have any medicine.
33:18Will I do that one thing that may work better?
33:21Please, I'll try anything.
33:23Okay, then.
33:24You have to.
33:27My father, Lord in heaven.
33:28A sedative, she needs a sedative, Grims, not the Lord's Prayer.
33:32I'm sorry, Mrs. Reiner, that stuff's not gonna work on me.
33:35It's for your baby.
33:39Our Father who art in heaven.
33:42Our Father who art in heaven.
33:48Hallowed be thy name.
33:52Hallowed be thy name.
33:55Thy kingdom come.
33:57Come on, you heard her.
33:58Thy kingdom come.
34:01Thy kingdom come.
34:04Push.
34:31Can't wait to see the look on my mom's face when I tell her what happened in the living room.
34:40Bessie's gonna be okay, Joey.
34:43As frightening as Mrs. Reiner is in daily life, I think she's incredibly capable when it comes to medical emergencies.
34:50I know, Dawson.
34:54That's why I am not out here, because I'm too worried about Bessie to stay inside.
34:59I mean, I'm worried, but...
35:01What is it?
35:04It's nothing. It's okay. It's stupid.
35:08No, it's not stupid, Joey.
35:11Look, I may not always agree with you, but your reasons are never stupid.
35:17All right, a question, Dawson.
35:20Who does Bessie remind you of?
35:23It's easy.
35:24It's easy.
35:28Your mother.
35:30There are times when the resemblance is merely a passing one, and then...
35:36There are others when...
35:38Bessie says or...
35:41Or does something, and...
35:46It's like my mom never died, you know?
35:49When she got sick...
35:52I mean, she had...
35:54She had chemo every month.
35:59I left her in this terrible pain.
36:04And...
36:07I would come home, and I would sit with her, and...
36:11She let out these cries that I'd never heard before, and I...
36:14I prayed to every available higher source.
36:17I would never hear them again from anyone or anything, and...
36:23Somehow, somebody listened.
36:27It's lucky I never did, you know?
36:30Until today.
36:37Yeah.
36:39Joey, when your mother was in all that pain...
36:41Joey, when your mother was in all that pain...
36:44Why did you sit by her?
36:48Come on, Dawson.
36:51She needed me. I mean...
36:54I mean, she didn't tell me that, but I knew I...
36:59I knew she really needed me.
37:02So what makes you think that Bessie needs you any less?
37:12Tomorrow?
37:15Oh, hello.
37:17Look, I know what you must be feeling towards Bessie right about now,
37:20what with all the trouble he's caused you.
37:23But frankly, I'd hate for the whole Witter family to be tarred with the same brush.
37:28I'll tell you, that boy has been nothing but a bane since he was a child.
37:32And trouble here...
37:34Creating a ruckus over there.
37:36And trouble here...
37:38Creating a ruckus over there.
37:41Well, then you must be very proud.
37:44Proud I don't quite follow you tomorrow.
37:47Of the way he's grown up.
37:50From an unruly child to a...
37:53sweet, sensitive, intelligent young man.
38:03And Douglas...
38:06It's Miss Jacobs.
38:37It's just like people say.
38:43Tomorrow's soon, so open up your eyes.
38:47Never hesitate.
38:50That's it, push.
38:53Baby's beginning to crown.
38:55Oh my god, I can see the head!
38:57That's it, we're almost there, just a little longer now.
39:02That's it, dear, that's it, dear, one more little push, it's almost over.
39:06Just one more, I know you can do this.
39:08I can't.
39:10I'm too tired.
39:12Dear, you can, and you will.
39:36He's out.
39:38He...
39:41Is he okay?
39:45He's better than okay.
39:48He's healthy.
39:50He's beautiful.
39:53He's all yours.
40:06Oh...
40:29Can we talk, or do I need a lawyer present?
40:34Hi, Pacey.
40:37Well, if you come to apologize again,
40:41you needn't.
40:44I'm deeply appreciative of what you've done.
40:47Well,
40:49actually,
40:51I was kind of hoping I could assume that all that talk about breaking up
40:55was just setting the heel a moment.
40:57Because,
40:59tomorrow,
41:01that's never going to happen again.
41:02I'm not, from now on,
41:04I'm just not talking to anybody.
41:06Not Dawson, not anybody.
41:09There's just no chance of that happening again.
41:12No, I know.
41:14Because I won't let it.
41:16Okay, good.
41:18Neither will I.
41:20Maybe I'm not making myself clear.
41:23There will be no further
41:26gossip, because there will be no further subject.
41:30I'm leaving Capeside.
41:35I've already turned in my resignation to Principal Geiger,
41:39and I should be at my sister's house in Rochester by tomorrow evening.
41:45Don't waste any time, do you?
41:50Pacey, you knew this deal was inevitable.
41:54Oh, I think I'd have to disagree with you there, Miss Jacobs.
41:57Never in a million years would I have predicted Rochester to be a plot point in our little saga.
42:04I meant us ending was inevitable.
42:11Hey, maybe you'd graduate.
42:15Maybe I'd meet someone my own age.
42:19God, maybe you'd meet someone your own age.
42:23But you knew that there
42:26was a ticking clock inherent to both of us and to everything about us.
42:34You must understand, Pacey, I care for you
42:39more deeply than I ever expected or wanted to.
42:46I'm sorry.
42:47More deeply than I ever expected or wanted to.
42:54But I'm
42:5636 years old, and
43:01I want to have children before it's too late.
43:06I mean, I want to be their mother, not their girlfriend.
43:11You know,
43:13just because I'm older and arguably more mature
43:17doesn't mean that I know what to say in these situations any more than you do.
43:23So please, let's just say goodbye now
43:27before I get maudlin and embarrassing and entirely too truthful.
43:34Is a farewell kiss permitted?
43:36Oh.
43:39I don't know, I seem to remember that's what started this whole mess to begin with.
43:44You know what?
43:46I think I can handle it tomorrow.
43:51I'm not sure I can.
43:53I think I can handle it tomorrow.
43:58I'm not sure I can.
44:06Here.
44:08Here.
44:21Here.
44:29Here.
44:32Okay.
44:37Well,
44:39I hope you enjoy Rochester.
44:47Hope you enjoy high school.
45:07Good night.
45:29Good night.
45:31Good night, Jennifer.
45:34Long day, huh?
45:35Good day.
45:39Oh, Jennifer.
45:43Just because we don't say certain things to each other
45:46doesn't mean we don't feel them.
45:55Jennifer.
45:56Jennifer.
46:01After what you experienced today,
46:03can you honestly tell me you still hold no belief in God?
46:08Well, I don't know about God, but
46:12I think I may have come around a little on man.
46:27Hey, Joey, come here.
46:50He's got mom's eyes, you know?
46:53Yeah.
46:54That's the first thing I noticed.
47:24Good night.
47:51Good-bye, Trevor.
47:54Good-bye.
48:24Flashlights from the sea
