Favourite Lines

Jen: I've been wanting to dance with you all night, Dawson. -- See, the kiss is just the end result. It's not what's important. It's all about desire and -- and wanting.
Dawson: And romance.

Joey: But fascinating. Faced with the choice, you stood surveying your options. Your eyes drifted slowly, from her, to me. And back to her.
Dawson: And back to you.

Dawson: Okay. Seance tonight at my house. This one is gonna blow your minds.
Pacey: What about no more life imitating movies, Dawson?
Dawson: Well, let's just say that old habits die hard. And old friends die even harder.


Why We Love Season 1
Discover the reasoning behind the magic.

1) Because Dawson and Joey watched E.T. in that first classic scene
2) Because "Pacey's Got the Jeep"
3) Because Jen made it really hard for Joey not to like her
4) Because Pacey tried to create some sort of a snail menaj a trois
5) Because Mitch started with something really simple-dancing
6) Because Dawson learned the mechanics of kissing
7) Because we never were given a definition for leather straps and crisco
8) Because of the D Student with the Julius Caesar haircut
9) Because Dawson was Tinkerbell's last hope
10) Because Dawson's not a little Oompa Loompa anymore. He's a big, bad manly Oompa Loompa
11) Because Joey was about 80% sure that Bessie was human
12) Because Jen's not that shallow, she's that human
13) Because rain falls angry on the tin roof
14) Because their perception is dead on
15) Because what's strong enough flourishes and what doesn't we look at behind glass cases in science museums
16) Because in some alternate universe, Dawson and Joey must've been married for like fifty years
17) Because Jen's completely harmless
18) Because we learned that it's just a word, clinical and technical
19) Because it contained the kiss that set the Atlantic Ocean on fire
20) Because Pacey's sexuality is in tact
21) Because it's Howdy Doody time
22) Because we're down with the program!
23) Because we're hip to the lingo
24) Because Dawson is Joey's hero
25) Because he's not William Wallace, but he is Pacey Witter
26) Because Pacey wouldn't bet against that Potter girl
27) Because Joey lived down the creek
28) Because it's just a matter of time
29) Because perfection obtained is a discomforting state
30) Because Jen was just trying to pick up the pieces
31) Because Joey was put behind the camera with Dawson where she belongs
32) Because the emotion in E.T. is realistic
33) Because they're not kids anymore
34) Because they say that Pacey Witter is a dangerous man who slaughters Capeside residents by the dozen with jokes
35) Because what Grams saw outside with Jen and Dawson was only a kiss
36) Because Dawson is some kind of film buff
37) Because Jen's not this white as snow image
38) Because Dawson's slightly above average
39) Because Pacey's a pervert and Joey's a prude
40) Because Pacey's not cursed with self awareness
41) Because when Joey loosens up, she's not half bad to be around, bordering on fun even
42) Because Dawson and Joey have this long tortured subtext
43) Because Jen has a great denial system
44) Because you can always count on getting the truth from Joey even if the truth hurts
45) Because Jen knows somebody who knows somebody who knows Ally Sheedy
46) Because sex at such a young age, more often than not, is a bad idea
47) Because Dawson's a dreamer
48) Because to Dawson, Joey's everything
49) Because people die and they move away...they grow up
50) Because everything changes eventually
51) Because even Spielberg outgrew his Peter Pan Syndrome
52) Because it's going to be a bumpy life
53) Because this is all so complicated
54) Because they growing up, that's all
55) Because they tried to channel the victims of the Lady Killer
56) Because carnivor snails eat other snails
57) Because Dawson's a regular Richie Cunningham, Billy-he's the Fonz, and that makes Pacey Potsy
58) Because Warren's reviews are in and frankly he's been banned
59) Because if Joey ever needs Dawson, he'll always be there for her
60) Because every guy who grows up to be one of the good ones, he was probably a dweeb with girls when he was fifteen too


If you want to add anything to the opening let me know! :)

This is a great idea!

My favorite season 1 episode is defintiely Detention. I love how they're all forced to be in one room together. Which forces them to actually get all their issues out in the open and deal wiht them...sort of. :lol: Then you throw Abby into the mix to egg them on and it's really fun!

The fun little adventure they go on Breakfast Club style.

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...ith128/189.jpg

Plus it has some of my favorite lines

"Aww Dawson you're not a little Oompa Loompa anymore. You're a big, bad, manly Oompa Loompa."

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...mith128/30.jpg

"No way. Emilio Estevez, he was in those duck movies. Those were classics. So funny! What?"

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...mith128/95.jpg

Then of course there's this :drool: The bigger biceps. Sorry Dawson. :lol:

Thanks for all the pics Joshuazgirl! :wave: That is definitely one of the best eps of season one I loved the breakfast club, so i really enjoyed this ep, had some hilarious moments and some heart wrenching ones as well like d/jos scene at the end of detention :love:

hee i loved that :lol:

The beginning of what would be an unforgetable show. Season 1, I loved every episode. Well... almost. :D

I loved this season. It was the best season ever IMO. Season 1 definally reminds me more of my high school expirence, well so far, then say OTH. I identify with season 1 Dawson, Joey, Pacey and Jen a whole lot more.

Dentention was a great episode. But the Pilot will always be like number 1.

Brit i added you to the fanlisting! :)

You too diana :wave:

I loved the pilot there a just so many classic moments and i will forever love the final scene between d/jo. so perfect :love:

Thank you Miss Emily! :D

I love that scene too, and with 'I'll stand by you' playing in the background.

I'm glade that they didn't change the music in the season 1 DVDs. Still pissed about all the other DVDs though. :pout:

I also love when they all first meet Jen. It's so cute. And the scene on the way and at the Rialto:

*CUT TO: Dawson, Joey, Jen, & Pacey walking*

Dawson: So do you plan on staying the whole school year?

Jen: Well, that depends on my Grams really, and my mom and dad.

Jen: Hey Joey, I love your lipstick. What shade is that?

Joey: Wicked Red, uh I love your hair color, what number is that?

Dawson: You'll have to excuse Joey, she was born in a barn.

Jen: That's okay, uh Joey I just do highlights.

Joey: So, uh Jen are you a virgin?

Dawson: That's mature!

Joey: Well cause Dawson's a virgin and two virgins really make for a clumsy first encounter don't you think?

Dawson: You're going to die.

Joey: I just thought I'd help, you know, cut to the chase.

Jen: No it's okay Dawson. Yes I am a virgin. How about you Joey, are you a virgin?

Joey: Please, years ago. Trucker named Bubba.

Dawson: What is up with you?

*Joey just looks at him. They get in line to buy tickets.*

*CUT TO: the inside of The Rialto. Pacey sees Tamara take a seat a few rows ahead of them and goes to make his move.*

Pacey: Back in a bit.

*The lights dim and the movie begins. Dawson's hand starts to reach for Jen's then pulls back. Joey becomes aware of his motions. Dawson taps his hand against his leg then goes for her hand again. It lightly brushes against Jen's, who takes notice. He finally makes him move, and takes her hand in his.*

Joey: So, Jen are you a size queen?

Jen: Excuse me?

Joey: Well how important is the size to you?

Dawson: Joey!

*She lifts her eyebrows at him and listens to Jen.*

Jen: Well being a virgin, I guess I haven't really given it that much though, how about yourself Jo?

Joey: I'm torn...

Dawson: You and me, outside now. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you!

Joey: What do you think Dawson? (to Jen) Notice the long fingers?

That is classic.

My favorite episode would have to be Double Date. :sigh: :love:

The Pilot, Dance, and Detention all tie for second place. I can't decide. :lol:



:lmao: I love that line. And the bigger biceps. :eyebrows: :P

Thanks for starting the 4 seasons threads, Emily :hug:

Can you please add my name to all 4 season threads :flowers: thanks

Everytime I watch that Detention, I laughed because of Josh...I mean his line :lol:
"No way. Emilio Estevez, he was in those duck movies. Those were classics. So funny!
What?"

Sure thing Kelly :hug:

I know that was great, i remember cracking up when i first saw it (i used to be a pshycofan of those movies) :lol:

The Breakfast club eppy was one of my favorites (from this season). Nice pix.

This is an amazing season and ties in with Season 2 as my favourite.:sigh:

From the moment I saw the two of them on the bed, I instantly loved Dawson and Joey. Their banter and perceptions of the world was just fantastic and it was unlike any other show I'd seen before.

Thanks Emily :hug:

I loved the Truth or Dare game :lol:

Joey - "I'll go and flash Mrs Tringle"

I loved when Joey asked Jen who she was most attracted too. If she was more phisically attracted to someone like Pacey. Then Jen said it was a stupid question. And Pacey says "I have no problem with this question."

I think the 1st and the 5th are my favorite seasons!
