00:00Posture soap opera about a bunch of teenagers who talk too much.
00:04We're types of people, and just as I'm likely to be found in church on Sunday.
00:08I'm more of a Saturday night slut.
00:10I didn't say that.
00:11Then how come I have never felt more like one?
00:13I want you back.
00:14What does?
00:15We're soulmates. You and I are meant to be.
00:22Who's there?
00:26Daddy?
00:30DAUGHTER
00:50Dawson, that was very impressive.
00:54It was moving. It's funny.
00:58It was real.
01:02You're saying that just because you're my mother.
01:04No I'm not.
01:06You are incredibly talented.
01:10You are incredibly biased.
01:14You know what?
01:15I had such a distinct, clear vision for this movie.
01:20I mean, I saw every moment.
01:23I heard every word of dialogue.
01:26I guess I just failed to translate that vision on a film.
01:32You know?
01:34Bring it to life.
01:36What about all these visions that I have for the future?
01:39What if I can't bring those to life either?
01:41Sweetheart, the trick is to stay tenacious.
01:45And not let any minor, and in this case very minor, setback derail your vision.
01:54I suppose I could re-edit it.
01:56There you go.
01:58Your movie may not be Citizen Kane, but it's not Bride of Chucky either.
02:04My film teacher described it as the worst, most offensive piece of junk ever captured in a film.
02:11Honey, that is just one person's opinion.
02:15And speaking about teachers at your school, how's your father enjoying his new profession?
02:24He likes it, I think.
02:27It's kind of weird to see him in the teacher's lounge consorting with the enemy.
02:33You really miss him, don't you?
02:35Yeah.
02:39Lately more than ever.
02:41Lately more than ever.
02:45If you know what you want, then maybe you should take some of your own advice.
02:51Maybe.
03:11Turn it around, around
03:15Every voice inside my head
03:19Is telling me to run
03:22I'm mad on bows and arrows
03:26Stars and sunsets
03:28Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:30Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:32Every heartbeat, every kiss
03:36Just makes me wonder
03:39What all this is
03:41Suits of armor
03:43Hearts and arrows
03:45Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:59Morning, Joey.
04:00Hope you're hungry.
04:02I might have overdone it a little bit here.
04:06God.
04:07I'm so glad to be home.
04:09I never thought making breakfast for my daughters could make me so happy.
04:14I thought for sure that I would wake up and discover that last night was just a dream.
04:20It's not a dream.
04:22It's all over, Joey.
04:25I'm not going anywhere ever again.
04:27Hey, Dad, I was just thinking with the catering and expanding our hours,
04:31our finances are going to be straightened out in no time.
04:34Joey, good morning.
04:38Your sister and I were up this morning scheming up ways to turn a profit at the restaurant.
04:42Hey, remember my friend Pam?
04:44She's getting married this Saturday at the Athenaeum and her caterer fell through and...
04:48And Icehouse to the rescue.
04:50So do you think you can ask a few of your friends to work as servers?
04:53Sure.
04:54Give me my grandson.
04:59Isn't this exciting?
05:00I mean, we're finally on our way to getting out of debt.
05:03Are you sure this is a good idea?
05:05I mean, we're not in the upscale catering business.
05:07We grill cheeseburgers.
05:09Don't worry.
05:10With Dad's help, we'll be fine.
05:12We're potters.
05:13We're quick studies and we always land on our feet, right?
05:21Joey, I'm your father.
05:23It's my job to do the worrying.
05:25Your days of worrying are over.
05:28I missed you so much.
05:36I missed you too.
05:43We're a family again.
05:45Everything's gonna be better, you'll see.
05:49I'll see you tomorrow.
05:58Since when do we cater weddings?
06:01Since my father got broke in prison and took over the restaurant.
06:07I know.
06:11I walked home last night and I found him standing on the porch.
06:16Joey, you must be thrilled.
06:18Yeah.
06:20It's just a little weird.
06:24I've been broadsided by a bus.
06:27A happy bus.
06:33Just reeling from the shock, I guess.
06:35Sure, of course.
06:38Somebody's wrong.
06:47Jack.
06:50You know, um...
06:55Last night I was lying in bed and I couldn't sleep.
06:59I was shaking.
07:02I have this pit in my stomach the size of a grenade.
07:06I've seen my dad one time in three years.
07:09I can't just pick up where we left off.
07:12And then this whole catering plan is just compounding my anxieties.
07:16I mean, all the blue bloods of Cape Set are going to be at the wedding.
07:19I mean, this isn't the most low-profile setting for my father to re-emerge into society.
07:24Yeah.
07:26Maybe you need to tell your father that this catering plan is ill-conceived.
07:31It's much too soon, you know?
07:34And I think you need to deal with this reunion with your father on a personal level before you go public.
07:40You should have seen Bessie's face this morning.
07:43She was so excited.
07:46I don't want to rain on their parade.
07:50Well, don't worry.
07:55I'll be there.
08:00So, I'm going to go back and I'm going to re-edit the script
08:04because I'm thinking maybe I just put the pieces together, you know?
08:09You know, it's bad enough that my parents are separated, my mother is heartbroken.
08:13Should I really have to be subjected to this?
08:17Well, she does have certain assets to us.
08:20Casey, I'm sorry, bro, but...
08:22Hey, guys.
08:23Did, uh, did we talk to you yet?
08:25About what?
08:26Well, the Ice House is catering a wedding on Saturday and we need some extra hands.
08:31Pay 60 bucks for the day.
08:33Sold. For 60 bucks, I'd cater your ass.
08:36But that won't be necessary.
08:39So, the Ice House is catering weddings now?
08:41Yeah, Mr. Potter's brainchild.
08:44Mr. Potter?
08:45Mm-hmm.
08:46Yeah, he was...
08:50Oh, uh, Joey's dad got paroled yesterday.
08:55Really?
08:56Yeah, he's back home.
08:58Wow.
09:00Hurry up, man, hurry up.
09:06Figured I'd find you in here, Abby.
09:08Um, can I talk to you for just a second?
09:12Funny, I was operating under the misconception that we weren't speaking.
09:16I thought since Dawson's movie wrapped, you no longer had any use for me.
09:20Well, it's not that I don't like you, Abby.
09:22It's just that I don't know how to talk to you.
09:26I thought since Dawson's movie wrapped, you no longer had any use for me.
09:31Yeah, you're right. Um, never mind. See you later.
09:34No, Jen, wait. What's the problem?
09:38Oh, Abby, I...
09:41I woke up this morning just so frustrated.
09:45You know, like all I wanted to do was climb the walls or light the place on fire and...
09:52No, it's not funny.
09:54I'm serious. I mean, I am so tense and so just bored.
09:59And I feel like I'm going berserk. I feel like I'm going berserk here.
10:03No, Jen, um, there was once this scientific experiment where they isolated this rat in a small box
10:10without any of its little rat toys or sawdust or stimulation.
10:15Well, eventually, the rat started gnawing off its own feet.
10:19You are that rat, capesides the box. Need I say more?
10:26I mean, like, I've tried changing my image.
10:29And if nobody here is going to accept me, then what's the point in living this pristine and this tedious existence, you know?
10:38And then when I think back on the best times that I've had this year,
10:44I've had them with you.
10:46Huh. I think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
10:55So, then, what do rats do for fun on the weekend?
11:00Oh, I don't know. But you know us rats. We can always sniff out something.
11:05Here we are. Late again.
11:10Sixty bucks for you and sixty bucks for me equals a hundred and twenty dollars.
11:14Do you have an abacus in your pocket, or did you just add that in your head?
11:18So, what I'm thinking is a road trip to New York, a dinner,
11:22then we'll take in a show and go for a nice romantic carriage ride through the park. What do you say?
11:26On a hundred and twenty bucks. Uh, what decade do you think we're living in?
11:31All right, well, it's not the Big Apple. Maybe just a nice romantic evening here in good old Capeside.
11:37But I hate weddings. I mean, bridesmaids in hideous dresses, people getting all gooey.
11:43They're too maudlin and sentimental for me.
11:47Too sentimental for you. The girl who just yesterday was brought to tears by a Nike commercial.
11:52Okay, but I draw the line at weddings.
11:55The institution of marriage is an antiquated construct.
11:59I think that if a couple wants to stay together, they should do so by choice.
12:02I mean, all those sweeping vows and public ceremony, it just sets people up to fail miserably.
12:08I know you have issues where this is concerned, but you've never been to a wedding with me.
12:12All right, I'll make you a deal. If you come with me on Saturday,
12:15if by the end of the night you're not convinced that weddings are the most beautiful ritual that mankind has ever created,
12:22I'll let you keep the money. All of it. Yours and mine.
12:25Hmm. Well, I have been itching to buy a brand new pair of Nikes that I just recently saw advertised.
12:31Annie McPhee, your days as a wedding cynic are numbered.
12:35Eh, we'll see about that one.
12:44I think you may have overdone it on the horseradish.
12:48I've got my sinuses, though.
12:50That's a long story.
12:57Hello, Dawson.
12:58Hello, Mr. Potter.
12:59You're a sight for sore eyes.
13:01Hey, congratulations. Welcome back.
13:03Thank you. You're looking good.
13:06Kids are all grown up. It's amazing.
13:09But let's catch up later. I have a horseradish issue to deal with.
13:14We're catering a wedding.
13:16I told Jack I would help out.
13:18Good. Tell your parents I said hello.
13:21You'll actually be able to tell them yourself.
13:23I guess the wedding on Saturday.
13:27Wow, so your dad is back.
13:29This is incredible. How long have you known?
13:32Total surprise.
13:34There's got to be a lot to deal with.
13:36How are you doing?
13:40I'm okay.
13:41You're okay?
13:42I mean, I was kind of on an emotional overload this morning.
13:47I ran into Jack, and with his typically intuitive insight, he was able to calm me down.
13:55Great.
13:57I was looking for you, but then I had to cut school early to come here to help out.
14:04Taste this. It's horseradish and crusted salmon.
14:07We're serving it at the wedding.
14:11After what he did to their mother, he was cheating on her while that poor woman was dying of cancer.
14:17I don't think he should ever be allowed back into Cape Side.
14:20I mean, he's a drug dealer for goodness sake.
14:24Keep your voice down.
14:28Well, that's Cape Side for you.
14:31You know, I've got to get back into the kitchen, but thank you for helping out this week.
14:34I really appreciate it.
14:37Joey.
14:49Okay, Pacey and Andy, if you can take care of the wedding cake and arrange a buffet table.
14:53Jack and Dawson, if you can take care of the champagne and the appetizers.
14:56And if there are any catastrophes, just come to me.
14:58I'll either be in the kitchen or out on the floor.
15:01I see the guests are already starting to arrive. We're going to survive this, right?
15:04Of course we will. Just relax and breathe.
15:06I don't have time to breathe.
15:08Joey, I need to talk to you.
15:10What about these women?
15:12What about them, Dawson? They're just some average Cape Side ignoramuses. What do they know?
15:16They haven't found out what happened when your father's an infamous philanderer and drug dealer.
15:20Are you okay, though? I'm worried about you.
15:22I'm fine. Dawson, I'm fine. Honestly, I don't care about those idiotic women.
15:26There are a hundred people out there waiting to eat.
15:28And at this point, getting them fed is the only thing on my mind.
15:48Hey, Dawson, have you seen your father?
15:50No, I haven't.
15:52Well, you were right that I should take some of my own advice.
15:56I've decided this has gone on long enough.
15:59I'm going to get your father back.
16:01Well, you look beautiful.
16:04Thanks, Tommy.
16:32Isn't this romantic, sweetheart?
16:35Why, can't you just feel the anticipatory excitement in the air?
16:39Two young lovers about to be united in the balms of holy matrimony.
16:43I think I'm getting goosebumps.
16:45How about you?
16:46Yeah, don't push me. I've got a cake knife in my hand.
16:49All right, let's get this thing finished off, and then we can get out there and watch the ceremony.
16:53I'm not watching the ceremony.
16:55Sure you are. I can watch it from my lap.
16:58Yeah, right, in your dreams.
17:01You know, I wish I had money like these people.
17:04When somebody in my family gets married, you end up wearing polyester,
17:07they serve fish sticks for appetizers, and the whole thing winds up in a drunken brawl.
17:11You got money, you can afford to make moments like this perfect.
17:15Beautiful location, best champagne in every peony in place.
17:19May it look perfect, but scratch beneath the surface,
17:22and you will find estrangement, despair, and dysfunction.
17:26I mean, at least your family's imperfection reflects reality.
17:30My family? We looked perfect.
17:33But on the inside, we were falling apart.
17:36Just a regular polyanna today, aren't you?
17:38Go easy on the sunshine, sister.
17:40All right, look, Pacey, I told you that I did not want to come to this wedding.
17:44I told you it would put me in a bad mood, and you forced me to come.
17:47And you know what? Now you're going to have to deal with the consequences.
17:51Oh, my lord.
17:56Oh, my lord.
18:05Hi.
18:06Hi.
18:07Are you okay?
18:09I think I'm having a heart attack.
18:11Do you want me to get somebody?
18:12No, no, no, don't get anyone. Just help me get this window open.
18:19What are you trying to do?
18:23Can you keep a secret?
18:25No.
18:26I'm not going through with this.
18:28I can't get married.
18:30Why not?
18:32No.
18:34I just want to die.
18:36Please, just let me die.
18:39What's the matter? Don't you love him?
18:41I don't know.
18:43That's the thing.
18:45What if I marry him, and it's the biggest mistake of my life?
18:49I don't know what to say.
18:56Jennifer, would you please turn that down?
19:00Sorry, Grims.
19:02Jennifer, would you please turn that down?
19:08Oh, I'm bored.
19:13What do you want to do tonight, huh?
19:15I'm determined to have a blast, no matter what.
19:19What do you want to do tonight, huh?
19:21I'm determined to have a blast, no matter what.
19:25I don't know.
19:27I think we're in desperate need of the three B's.
19:30Booze.
19:31Boys.
19:36Booze.
19:37Boys.
19:38Boys.
19:39Well, that's only two B's.
19:41What are Dustin and those other lame excuses for teenagers doing tonight?
19:46Ice House is catering this wedding at the Athenaeum.
19:49Everybody's there.
19:51Nice that nobody thought to invite me.
19:54Guess I'm not part of the inner circle.
19:57The Athenaeum.
19:59Free champagne.
20:01Older guys in tuxedos.
20:03Me likes.
20:05One problem, Abby. No invitation.
20:08Well, lack of invitation has never stopped me before.
20:12I say we get really dressed up and crash that party.
20:16We'll show Dustin and his little clique a wedding they'll never forget.
20:31Okay, I don't want to put any pressure on you, but the ceremony is about to start.
20:36You've got to make a decision.
20:43Okay.
20:45Hold on.
20:46Oh, yeah, look at this.
20:47Dusk.
20:51Did you do AWOL on her?
20:53We've got a little problem.
20:54The bride wants to jump out a window.
20:56Where is she?
20:57She's right in there.
20:58She's hysterical.
20:59We might have to cancel the wedding.
21:01You want me to talk to her?
21:03I really don't think you could do any good right now.
21:05Where is she?
21:07Where is she?
21:16She was right there.
21:27We're sad.
21:28Why? What's happening?
21:29This wedding is rapidly becoming a disaster.
21:32Jack and Dustin disappeared.
21:33Basie and Andy just ruined the cake, and the food isn't even ready yet.
21:36Julie, just calm down.
21:37It's going to be okay.
21:38No, Jack was right.
21:39I mean, Basie, we have enough to deal with now that Dad's back without taking on this wedding.
21:44We were blinded by the fantasy of just paying off all our debts,
21:47and we overlooked the now painfully obvious reality that we have no idea what we're doing.
21:52It's not that bad.
21:54Everything's under control.
21:55We're just experiencing a few glitches.
21:57A few glitches?
21:58Basie, we are going to ruin this wedding and humiliate ourselves yet again in front of all of Cape Sidon.
22:05It's the story of our lives.
22:06No, it's not over yet.
22:08We can do this, and I don't think we should get Dad all worked up about it.
22:11Why not?
22:13This was his bright idea in the first place.
22:15I mean, he tore our family apart, and he thinks he can just put it back together in a day.
22:19Well, he can't.
23:05If you don't open up the door, I'm going to have to get your mother.
23:13It's worth a try.
23:25Hey.
23:27Hey.
23:34Hey, how you doing?
23:36I'm going to be sick.
23:38Oh.
23:40You haven't started thoughts?
23:45I keep thinking, what if Alan isn't my soulmate?
23:49I mean, what if my soulmate is still out there, I just haven't met him yet.
23:54And now I'm giving up my one chance for perfect love.
23:58You can spend your whole life looking for perfect love, and I promise you, you'll never find it.
24:08No, it's because love isn't perfect.
24:14Everyone's flawed, including you, including Alan.
24:20I bet that he loves you and that love is real.
24:24Are you sure you want to walk away from something that's real?
24:28For a bite dream that may not exist?
24:33Huh?
24:37Here, come on.
24:39You're just suffering from an acute case of wedding day jitters.
24:43It wouldn't be a wedding without them, and it's tradition.
24:46You know, it's like throwing bouquet or taking off the garter.
24:51Besides, I bet that when you start to walk down that aisle and you look into Alan's eyes,
25:00all your fears are just going to dissolve away.
25:20Thank you, guys, for coming. It's so good to see you.
25:50Excuse me.
25:55I don't even know you, but you saved my life.
25:59You were right.
26:10I'm so happy.
26:13So I talked to her for 20 minutes, and she wants to jump out the window.
26:18You come in and in two minutes save the marriage.
26:22How do you do that?
26:26Well, I train with this Indian shaman that lives up in the woods.
26:33I don't know. I guess I just happen to see the right thing.
26:37I guess I just happen to see the right thing.
26:41There was a time she was coming to me.
26:46Joey?
26:47Yeah.
26:51Whenever she had exciting news or something she wanted to talk about,
26:55she climbed in my window and we talked for hours and hours.
27:01Now she goes to you.
27:03Lillison, I don't think you should draw any conclusions
27:06about your relationship with Joey based on something so circumstantial.
27:10Besides, you may be friends with her, but you're her soulmate.
27:18Just tell the bride you don't believe in soulmates.
27:22I don't believe in perfect love,
27:25but I do believe that there are people whose lives are inextricably intertwined.
27:31A bond that lasts forever can never be broken.
27:37She needs you now, man.
27:40You're the only one that knows her whole history.
27:42You're the only one that knows where she's going.
27:44I know.
27:46It's so frustrating.
27:48I keep on reaching out to her, but between her pride, this wedding,
27:53I can't connect.
27:57Maybe what she needs is for you to force a connection.
28:05Oh, my God. Hurry up. They're coming.
28:08All right, well...
28:11How's it look?
28:13What have you done? That looks worse.
28:16I don't know. I'm not a pastry chef, all right?
28:19Oh, my God. Pasty?
28:21Hi. Hi. Is the cake back here? I want to see it.
28:24Uh, uh, no. It's, uh...
28:28It's...
28:29It's very bad luck for the bride to see her wedding cake on an empty stomach.
28:33Why? What happened?
28:35She'll get fat.
28:37They say.
28:38No, the only thing I've heard is that the top layer of the cake represents the marriage.
28:44We're supposed to put it in the freezer for good luck
28:48and eat it on our first anniversary.
28:52Oh.
28:54Did you hear that? That's an omen.
28:57If their marriage breaks up, it will be our fault.
29:00Our fault? I think you mean your fault.
29:03It was your wild gesticulations that sent this baby flying in the first place.
29:07Oh, God, when she comes back in to cut the cake, she's gonna be horrified.
29:12Oh, I knew I should not have come.
29:15I mean, not only have I wrecked their wedding,
29:18no, but I've placed a curse on their marriage.
29:20Andy, would you settle down, please?
29:22Weren't you the one who was just railing against empty symbolism anyhow?
29:25Yeah, but their wedding day is supposed to be perfect.
29:28I mean, look at that cake.
29:30A little itsy-bitsy groom is covered in frosting.
29:34I knew it.
29:37I'm not working on this cake for one more minute
29:40until you admit to me that you are a closet wedding romantic.
29:45I am not.
29:47I've already told you.
29:48It's a bunch of bogus sentimental conventions.
29:57Oh, my God, the groom.
29:59P.C.?
30:05Okay, I admit it. You're right.
30:08I'm a sucker for taffeta.
30:09The sight of the little flower girl makes me weepy.
30:12I'm a wedding fanatic.
30:14There, are you happy?
30:16Huh?
30:18Hurry up, the cake.
30:28Hi, Dad.
30:29Hey.
30:31I think we're pretty much caught up here.
30:34If it is the will of the Potters, we'll find a way.
30:37Oh, it looks amazing.
30:41Joey, when you spend three years alone in a prison cell,
30:46it can make you monstrously self-absorbed,
30:49and I never even considered how my presence here
30:52would adversely affect you.
30:55Dad, I'm really stressed out.
31:00I didn't mean any of those things.
31:02Well, whether you did or didn't,
31:04you were completely right
31:07to have been so strong
31:11and done so well.
31:14Here comes your criminal father,
31:16coming back to Capeside
31:17just to bring you more shame and scandal.
31:20Daddy, you can't expect to come back
31:23and have everything be normal again.
31:28Things have changed.
31:30I think we need to deal with them as a family
31:32before we invite in the malignant scrutiny
31:35of total strangers.
31:39I'm the father.
31:41I'm the one who's supposed to be protecting you
31:43against all the harsh realities of the world,
31:45and here you are protecting me.
31:51Yet again, I'm failing in my parental duties.
31:57Please don't say that.
32:00I better go check on that Sam.
32:13How you doing, Mom?
32:16Dawson, who was that woman with your father?
32:20That would be my film teacher at school.
32:23Notorious one who told me that my film was so stupid.
32:28And how long has he been seeing her?
32:30I don't know.
32:32Hello, Gail.
32:34This is Nicole.
32:37And of course you know Dawson.
32:42Well, it was a lovely wedding, wasn't it?
32:46Honey, if you'll excuse me,
32:48I'm going to go find my seat.
32:53Can I talk to you for a second?
32:57Yeah, excuse me.
33:01I know this is awkward for you.
33:03Truthfully, I didn't know you were going to be here.
33:05That's not the point, Dad.
33:06You knew that Mom was going to be here.
33:09Nicole is a colleague.
33:12She's smart, and she's funny,
33:14and I enjoy spending time with her.
33:15And if your mother has a problem with that,
33:17she's going to have to deal with it.
33:19I have to live my life.
33:27Listen, I'm sorry.
33:30The last thing I want to do is put you in the middle.
33:34This is exactly what you're doing
33:36by dating teachers from my school.
33:44Abby, there are no cute guys here.
33:47This is totally the middle age set.
33:50Well, I think you need a father figure, Jen.
33:53Somebody that has more sexual experience than you,
33:55if that's possible.
33:57Oh, shut up.
33:58I'm just kidding.
34:00I'm not sure that they're all married.
34:02Well, maybe it's time to graduate
34:04from Nymphette to Homewrecker.
34:06Cheers.
34:07Yeah, cheers.
34:09Oh, look.
34:11Love your outfit, Andy.
34:12You look like a little penguin.
34:14What are you guys doing here?
34:16Racing hell.
34:17What are you doing here?
34:18Okay, look.
34:19I don't think it's a very good idea
34:21for you guys to be here, okay?
34:22This is supposed to be a romantic occasion.
34:25Please don't ruin it.
34:26Oh.
34:27Well, we'll just keep you company then.
34:29Look, we are in the middle of handling a crisis here.
34:31I don't need this kind of distraction.
34:34Are you kicking us out?
34:36Yes!
34:37Okay, this is not a tailgate party.
34:38It's a wedding.
34:39It's invitation only,
34:41and your being here is gonna get us all in trouble,
34:43so please, just leave.
34:45Jeez, you might want to consider upping the dosage
34:47on those mood stabilizers.
34:49The exit is that way.
34:51Okay, okay, Abby, um,
34:53listen, why don't we just go on down to the boardwalk
34:55and we'll come back after dinner
34:57when everybody's a little more toasted
34:59and not quite so uptight.
35:01Come on.
35:05For the road.
35:06Bye-bye.
35:20Do you want me to try it?
35:22Nothing.
35:25I thought you were gonna cry.
35:29Don't tell me nothing's wrong, Joy.
35:31I know you.
35:34Austin, it's just been a really hectic day.
35:36I'm fine.
35:46I'm just really scared.
35:49I finally get him back, and...
35:51what if he hurts me again?
35:54I can't keep getting my heart broken by him.
35:56Joy.
36:00I can't.
36:02Look, in the back of your mind,
36:04you always kind of felt that
36:06as soon as your father got back,
36:08everything would be fine.
36:10Life would be perfect.
36:13I think your father probably felt the same way, too,
36:16that as soon as he got back,
36:18he could just clean up every mess
36:20and right every wrong.
36:23But...
36:26he can't.
36:28You two are both suffering under the burden
36:30of such impossibly high expectations right now,
36:33and all this hurt and pain and anger
36:35that you're feeling isn't gonna just disappear.
36:40But that's okay.
36:43All right, Joy?
36:46All right, Joy.
36:54These past three years,
36:56you have been so...
36:59unbelievably strong.
37:05I mean, you've let the petty gossip and judgments
37:08of this town roll right off you.
37:15Don't let them get to you now.
37:18Now is the time to dig in your heels
37:21and to show them you have absolutely nothing
37:24to be ashamed of.
37:29And you're not alone in this.
37:33You have your father now.
37:37You have a family again.
37:39And...
37:44you always have me.
38:10Hey, honey, go out there.
38:12Well, no one's complained of bastilism yet.
38:16I think it went well.
38:28Dad, do you remember Melissa Berry?
38:31She always wore her hair on top of her head and ponytail.
38:34Right, she was a friend of yours.
38:36Yeah, um...
38:43The day you were arrested, um...
38:48I was at school in the bathroom
38:51with one of the Sols,
38:53and I overheard her talking about you,
38:56about, um...
38:58how you were a drug dealer
39:00and we lived in a crack house,
39:02and she was laughing,
39:04and I remember I was so upset,
39:06I ran home and I cried for hours,
39:08and Dawson came over and cheered me up, and...
39:13The next day, I went back to school,
39:17and I walked up to her
39:19and I looked her straight in the eyes,
39:21and I smiled,
39:23and I walked away like nothing had ever happened.
39:27Julie, I'm sorry.
39:29That's not my point.
39:31Sure.
39:33That's not my point, Dad.
39:38People are always gonna talk.
39:41I'm tough.
39:43And I'll always walk with my head held high,
39:46and they can't crush me.
39:49And I know that we've been through a lot,
39:53and you've made your mistakes,
39:55but you're my dad.
39:59I'm proud of you.
40:04The thing is,
40:07projecting strength to the outside world is one thing.
40:16Please don't pretend with me.
40:20And I promise I won't pretend with you.
40:24Um...
40:27But I just wanted to say that, um...
40:33I love you.
40:40And I'm really glad that you're home.
40:57So, come on.
40:59I want to show my dad off to Alt Cape, son.
41:02Oh, Julie, I, uh...
41:04I think you were right before.
41:08When it comes to the outside world,
41:10I think we should take things slow.
41:13I don't care about the outside world.
41:15I care about you.
41:17There's a celebration going on,
41:19and we have so much to celebrate.
41:22Come with me.
41:24I'm not ready, Julie.
41:28I'm not ready.
41:30I'm sorry.
41:42So, how does it look?
41:44Oh, it looks...
41:46It looks great, baby.
41:48Whoa, whoa, watch out, Andy.
41:50Yeah.
41:52We should probably get this on top now.
41:55Okay.
41:56Why don't I take care of that for you?
42:08May I see the cake now?
42:12Oh.
42:14Oh, it's beautiful.
42:22I know.
42:27You must just be disgusted right now
42:29with all this sentiment and bogus symbolism.
42:32Shut up, PC.
42:36Did you ever think that you'll get married?
42:39Married?
42:41To some fierce, swigging, football-watching bonehead?
42:47Living in some cookie-cutter house
42:50with two snot-nosed little brats
42:53and driving carpool, baby.
42:56Grocery shopping.
42:58Climbing the walls.
43:00Hopping Valley.
43:02Suburban nightmare.
43:06You know...
43:11I don't think I'll ever be happy.
43:15Wherever I am, I'll always wish I'm someplace else.
43:20Whatever I have, I'll always want something different.
43:24I hear you.
43:26I just don't want to be a cliché.
43:29Or boring.
43:32I just want to drink.
43:36Amen.
43:39Huh?
43:42Ow!
43:46What? That hurt, you bitch.
43:50Abby!
43:54Abby! Abby!
43:56Oh, my God! Abby! Abby!
43:59Damn it! Abby!
44:01Abby!
44:08Abby!
44:20May I have the pleasure of this dance, Mr. P?
44:26You know, you were right, P.C.
44:28Weddings aren't that bad.
44:31See? I win.
44:33I knew you'd come around.
44:35But I think when we get married,
44:37we should do it in Venice.
44:39Because it is the city of romance.
44:41What do you think?
44:45I think that by the time we're 30,
44:47that city will have already sunk into the seas.
44:50P.C.
45:08Bob?
45:10Will you dance with me?
45:12All right.
45:14Yes, sir.
45:29You know, a very wise pursuant told me that...
45:33Knowing what you want is half the battle.
45:37The trick is to stay tenacious...
45:40and not let any minor setback
45:42do down your vision.
45:46Thank you, honey.
45:56Well, you did it.
46:00You did it.
46:02The wedding was a success.
46:04I'm just glad it's over.
46:07I mean, no money in the world is worth this kind of stress.
46:14Joey.
46:16Joey.
46:28Daddy.
46:46Daddy.
46:55May I have this dance?
47:16I need someone to come along
47:23and change my life
47:28the way you've done.
47:34I wish someone else was to dance with you.
47:39In the night.
47:43Dad.
47:50Hello, Mike.
47:52Welcome home.
47:56Would you like to dance?
47:58I would love to.
48:12Here.
48:23For what?
48:25For being my friend,
48:27for understanding me better than anyone,
48:30and for putting up with me for the last 16 years.
48:37I love you.
48:40I love you, too.
49:10I love you, too.
49:40I love you, too.
50:10I love you, too.
50:40I love you, too.
50:42I love you, too.
50:44I love you, too.
50:46I love you, too.
50:48I love you, too.
50:50I love you, too.
50:52I love you, too.
50:54I love you, too.
50:56I love you, too.
50:58I love you, too.
51:00I love you, too.
51:02I love you, too.
51:04I love you, too.
51:06I love you, too.
