Dawson's Creek Season 1 Classics

To say that I love the show is an understatement. I love Pacey more than I loved any boyfriend who graced my boring existence. I guess that's why I'm still single. I haven't met my Pacey. Not that I'm complaining.

Here are some lines, mostly Pacey's, that made me smile, cry, laugh, swoon, giggle, and a host of other emotions. You gotta admit the hilarity of some lines make you feel all of those. Wait, it's a drama series? Hah! Sometimes the story sucks and the lines illogical but hey, I love the show, period.

Episode 1 Pilot

Things change, Dawson. Evolve. - Joey

Pacey: And who am I, Nellie?
Nellie: Nobody. That's the point. You're not there. You don't even exist. Because if you did, I might have to respond to your pathetic, little under-the-breath one-liners. But instead, I take comfort knowing you're vapor.

Jen: I'll tell you what, Grams, I'll go to church when you say the word "penis."
Grams: You stop that talk.
Jen: It's just a word, Grams. Clinical and technical. Penis.

Jen: Hey, Joey, I love your lipstick. What shade is that?
Joey: Wicked red. I love your hair color. What number is that?

Well, let me tell you something. You blew it, lady. Because I'm the best sex you'll never have. - Pacey

When I saw you going for Jen's hand, I... I mean, it's not like I wanted to be the one holding your hand. I just didn't want her holding it. - Joey

Episode 2 Dance

Pacey: There's a lot to discuss. We could start with the open-mouthed kiss, if you'd like.
Ms. Jacobs: I don't know what you're talking about and I'm gonna have to insist that you leave this classroom immediately.
Pacey: Listen, I'm just as confused about this as you are.
Ms. Jacobs: Pacey, please. Nothing happened. There was no kiss. Please, don't.
Pacey: Your tongue was in my mouth. You're not being fair.

Dawson: It's better this way. So unpredictable. The audience will never gonna see it coming. Like Janet Leigh in Psycho.
Pacey: Drew Barrymore in Scream.
Joey: Ooh, a rip-off of a rip-off.

Cliff: And it was nice to meet you, Jen, short for Jennifer.
Jen: You too, Cliff, short for Clifford.

Joey: You don't look like a duck.
Jen: You know, that's the nicest thing you've said to me since we met.

Dawson: Jo, I don't get it. I don't get it. What did he do that I didn't do?
Joey: He asked her out?

Episode 3 Kiss

You keep saying how this is wrong, and maybe tonight it is. But just to set the record straight, I'm a firm believer that sometimes it's right to do the wrong thing. - Pacey

Episode 4 Discovery

Jen: They sent me up here because the clichés about teenagers in the big city are true.
Dawson: What clichés?
Jen: Come on, you've heard them. They grow up too fast, stay out too late, hang out with the wrong kind of people, have sex too young.
Dawson: And your parents wanted to get you away from kids like that?
Jen: No, Dawson. I was kids like that.

Episode 5 Hurricane

Pacey: You know, I'm sure that there are support groups for gay officers.
Doug: Listen, Pacey! I'm not gay!

Bodie: Which do you object to more, Mrs. Ryan, the fact that I'm black and she's white or that we're unmarried and about to have a child in sin?
Grams: What I object to most, Bodie, is when children raise children.

Joey: You know, it's just an ego thing. I mean, "How could there possibly been anyone before me?" You know, "How can I measure up?"
Jen: Is he really that trite?
Joey: I'm sure there's a measuring tape sitting in his bathroom right now.
Jen: What do you think it's marked up at?
Joey: What do you mean?
Jen: Oh, come on. Do you think Dawson's got a pistol or a rifle?
Joey: Oh. How would I know?
Jen: Oh, come on.

Mr. Ryan used to say, "If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with a lot of rain." - Grams

Doug: Did you tell her I'm gay?
Ms. Jacobs: No, I guessed it. When I lived in New York, I lived on Christopher Street. I have good gaydar.
Doug: You told her, didn't you? Tell her I'm not gay!
Pacey: She has gaydar.
Doug: Tamara, I am not gay.
Ms. Jacobs: It's okay to be gay.
Pacey: That's exactly what I've been trying to tell him, Tamara.

I was sexualized way too young and I don't wish that on anybody. I mean, sex at such a young age more often than not is a bad idea. - Jen

I want for nothing. And I guess that left me feeling empty, not wanting. And I just wanted to want again. - Mrs. Leery

You're born, and you die, and you make a lot of mistakes in between. - Joey

Episode 6 Baby

Dawson: Come on, Pacey, it's not that bad.
Pacey: You know, I really appreciate the effort, Dawson, but it really is that bad. You know what, let's be honest. It's worse. This is cataclysmic. This is one of those rare, milestone events that separates the first half of your life from everything that follows.

Dawson: Okay, look, Pacey. Granted this is not good, but this is in your hands, you can control this now.
Pacey: It's the wrong time for the Obi-Wan moment, Dawson.

Bessie: Listen, you sorry-ass civil servant, this is the mother-to-be talking. Maybe I'm not in the tax bracket that guarantees a prompt response to medical distress but I have a shoe full of amniotic fluid, my pelvis is beating like a rumba band, and I'm in real danger of having my first child delivered by two high school students! So why don't you stop making excuses, get off your oversize backside and get us an ambulance before my fetus enters college!
Joey: Terrific. I'm sure they'll be right on their way.

Just because we don't say certain things to each other doesn't mean we don't feel them. - Grams

Episode 7 Detention

You can't stand the idea that if a girl is choosing between two guys, she might not choose the romantic doofus who woos her with flowers and cheesy poems, you know. She just might choose the guy who has the faster car or the bigger bicep or the bigger joystick. - Joey

Hey, I don't talk trash, I recycle it. - Pacey

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

Pacey: Hey, you can't leave, man, I need you. You make me look good.
Dawson: How do I do that?
Pacey: You suck worse than I do.

Jen: Whatever happened to those actors?
Dawson: Anthony Michael Hall got some kind of weird thyroid condition. Molly Ringwald lost her gawky ingénue appeal. And the rest are languishing somewhere in TV obscurity.
Pacey: No way! Emilio Estevez, he was in those duck movies, remember? God, those were classics. So funny.

Pacey, you're supposed to get it in the net! - Abby

My dog plays basketball better than you two! - Abby

Dawson, nice air ball. - Abby

Joey: Why do you have to be like this?
Jen: Like what?
Joey: So nice! God! It would be so much easier if you were just a total wench, that's all. God!
Jen: Well, I'm sorry, I guess I could try and be more of a wench.

Oh, thank God... I never thought I'd hear myself say that. - Jen

Dawson: I want to trust you, Pacey.
Pacey: You want to trust me? What, like I'm gonna steal your girlfriend or something?
Dawson: I wouldn't put it past you. You'd do anything for sex.
Pacey: That sucks, Dawson. Is that how you feel about me?
Dawson: What am I supposed to think? I mean, you... you kissed my girlfriend.
Jen: It was a dare, Dawson.
Pacey: Thank you!
Dawson: You guys were totally into it.
Jen: I wasn't. No offense.
Pacey: None taken.

Pacey: I mean, at least you have a girlfriend. I got nothing left.
Abby: You have your hand.

You're my godsend, Dawson. And I don't think I even believe in God. - Jen

Episode 8 Boyfriend

You know, this town is the absolute embodiment of dull. Apart from the occasional sex scandal provided by yours truly, nothing happens here. Oh, man. You know, I swear, one day this town is gonna shut down completely due to lack of interest. - Pacey

How much pain and humiliation can a relationship endure before it's reached the point of no return? - Dawson

Pacey: You have some raging hormonal obsession for our friend Dawson and you just can't wait to get your hooks into but good, can you? Huh?
Joey: Bite me, Pacey.
Pacey: Busted.

Anyone who's never been hurt is either very lucky or very lonely. The trick is to get through it. - Mr. Leery

You know, Dawson, I may have made some mistakes but at least I don't live in a fantasy world. - Jen

Episode 9 Road Trip

Joey: Dawson, the neighbor girl dumped you. No one died. Just get over it.
Dawson: It's forty-eight hours ago. I don't think I've exceeded the statute of limitation on angst.
Joey: It's not a matter of time, Dawson. It's a matter of degree. I mean, you haven't eaten and you stare at Jen's house like it's going to disappear. And I've seen you at school, you spy. It's twisted.

Billy: You used to be fun, you know that?
Jen: No. I used to be weak and vulnerable.

Pacey: Ah. Finally. Dawson's evil twin. This has been a much anticipated pleasure.
Dawson: What are you doing?
Pacey: You're cutting class to go to a night club, you ask what I'm doing? I'm coming with you now, wouldn't miss this for the world.

Pacey: I don't have a good angel, Dawson. I have you.
Dawson: I'm not interested in the gig. Doesn't work for me anymore.

"Youthful indiscretion?" What am I, running for the Senate? - Pacey

Abby: Does Warren know?
Joey: He told all his friends that it's my problem and mine only.
Abby: Oh, that little puke. Urgh, that sorry puke!

Episode 10 The Scare

Joey: Oh yeah, I forget. You steal it.
Pacey: Hey, you borrow from family. You never steal.

Jen: Alright, you look at me straight in the face and tell me that you didn't try to spook me.
Dawson: I didn't try to spook you.
Jen: Say, "Honest to God."
Dawson: You don't believe in God.

Episode 11 Double Date

You don't sound like a guy who's disappointed in Jen's breakup etiquette. You sound like a guy who can't face the reality that it's over. - Joey

How can you seem to be friends with someone when every time you look at them all you think about is how much more you really want? - Dawson

Joey: Him?
Pacey: Her? Dr. Rand, I'd like to lodge a formal protest. You never told me I was gonna be working with a repressed control freak.
Joey: Yeah, you never said my grade was dependent upon some remedial underachiever.

Look, maybe on your planet, taking an ex-girlfriend on a double date is a good idea, but where I come from, it's not. - Mary Beth

Joey: You know speaking of survival, I thought creatures with your level of brain power went extinct a few years back.
Pacey: That was amazing, personality like yours, you still can't get any dates.
Joey: Even more amazing, personality like yours, and you can.

And somewhere, somehow in there, I not only stopped disliking her so much I actually came to sort of like her. - Pacey

Episode 12 Beauty Contest

When guys look at you, they think, "Wow, what a babe." And when they look at me, they think, "Um, gee, she's really tall." - Joey

Dawson: You okay?
Pacey: Oh yeah. I spent... just spent the entire morning with my father telling me what a scholastically inept, athletically-challenged, underachieving loser I am, I'm fine.

Dawson: Except I'm afraid your God-given ability to relive yourself standing up has rendered you ineligible.
Pacey: Once again, sexual discrimination rears its ugly head.

Pacey: This is unconstitutional!
Pageant sign-up lady: I assure you, Mr. Witter, there is nothing in the United States Constitution that says you have the right to enter this pageant.
Pacey: Yeah, and there's nothing in your rule book that says I can't! Huh?

You know, I'm glad you find my pathetic life amusing, Dawson. - Joey

Mr. Leery: I mean, by braving this experiment, you've become a political activist... challenging social stereotypes.
Pacey: I kind of just wanted to make some extra cash.

So what you're saying is, you don't want her but you don't want anybody else to have her either? - Pacey

Maybe I don't have a chance of winning but if I could take just one vote away from you and make you know what it feels to be a loser then this is all worthwhile. - Pacey

Joey: But life goes on, Dawson. Things change.
Dawson: They don't have to.
Joey: Yes, they do. Everything changes eventually. That's just the way life is, and you have no control over it. And suddenly, people who you think are always gonna be there, they disappear, you know? People die, and they move away, and grow up. Everything changes eventually, Dawson.

Pacey: Tell me, is it the possibility of losing him to somebody else that suddenly makes him seem so attractive?
Jen: You really think that I'm that shallow, huh?
Pacey: No. I think you're that human.

Hannah: Come to gloat?
Pacey: No. Actually, I just have a lot of experience with being a loser, I thought you might want some pointers, seeing as this is your first time.

Episode 13 Decisions

You know, one day, Pacey, you're gonna be tired of being a joke and it's gonna be too late. You'll gonna wake up and realize that you're just a bad punchline that nobody's laughing at. - Doug

Well, that's what people do. They grow up. - Joey

Jen: How can you have so much faith in prayer? Just because you pray doesn't mean it can change God.
Grams: Oh child, you've got it backwards. Prayer doesn't change God. Prayer changes me.

You have a habit of being annoyingly honest with me. When was it that I got designated the town loser? I mean, I know I've done some stupid things in my life but what exactly was it that pushed me over the edge of being a walking, talking embarrassment to my perfect family? - Pacey

You know, you don't have to be in God's house for Him to hear you. - Grams

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Memorable Lines

Chapter 1 The Dark Lord Ascending

I shall attend to the boy in person. There have been too many mistakes where Harry Potter is concerned. Some of them have been my own. That Potter lives is due more to my errors than to his triumphs. - Voldemort

What say you, Draco? Will you babysit the cubs? - Voldemort

Chapter 3 The Dursleys Departing

Just in case you've forgotten, I've already got a house, my godfather left me one. So why would I want this one? All the happy memories? - Harry Potter

Uncle Vernon (Dursley): I thought there was a Ministry of Magic?
Harry: There is.
Uncle Vernon: Well, then, why can't they protect us? It seems to me that, as innocent victims, guilty of nothing more than harboring a marked man, we ought to qualify for government protection!

Dudley Dursley: Dad -- I'm going with these Order people.
Harry: Dudley, for the first time in your life, you're talking sense.

Dudley: I don't understand.
Aunt Petunia (Dursley): What don't you understand, popkin?
Dudley: Why isn't he coming with us?
Uncle Vernon: What?
Dudley:Why isn't he coming too?
Uncle Vernon: Well, he -- he doesn't want to. You don't want to, do you?
Harry: Not in the slightest.
Uncle Vernon: There you are. Now come on, we're off.
Uncle Vernon: What now?
Dudley: But where's he going to go?

Harry: They think I'm a waste of space, actually, but I'm used to --
Dudley: I don't think you're a waste of space.

Hestia Jones: But he hasn't said thank you at all! He only said he didn't think Harry was a waste of space!
Harry: Yeah, but coming from Dudley that's like 'I love you.'

Chapter 4 The Seven Potters

Harry: If you think I'm going to let six people risk their lives -- !
Ron Weasley: -- because it's the first time for all of us.
Harry: This is different, pretending to be me --
Fred Weasley: Well, none of us really fancy it, Harry. Imagine if something went wrong and we were stuck as specky, scrawny gits forever.
Harry: You can't do it if I don't cooperate, you need me to give you some hair.
George Weasley: Well, that's that plan scuppered. Obviously there's no chance at all of us getting a bit of your hair unless you cooperate.
Fred: Yeah, thirteen of us against one bloke who's not allowed to use magic; we've got no chance.
Harry: Funny, really amusing.

Ooh, you look much tastier than Crabbe and Goyle, Harry. Oh, you know what I mean -- Goyle's potion looked like bogies. - Hermione Granger

Fred and George: Wow -- we're identical!
Fred: I dunno, though, I think I'm still better-looking.

I knew Ginny was lying about that tattoo. - Ron

Chapter 5 Fallen Warrior

Mrs (Molly) Weasley: How do you feel, Georgie?
George: Saintlike.
Fred: What's wrong with him? Is his mind affected?
George: Saintlike. You see... I'm holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?
Fred: Pathetic. Pathetic! With the whole wide world of ear-related humor before you, you go for holey?
George: Ah well. You'll be able to tell us apart now, anyway, Mum.

I mean... if somebody made a mistake and let something slip, I know they didn't meant to do it. It's not their fault. We've got to trust each other. I trust all of you, I don't think anyone in this room would ever sell me to Voldemort. - Harry

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF CHE GERONIMO

I, CHE GERONIMO, do make, publish, and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament.

FIRST: I hereby revoke all former Wills and Codicils by me made.

SECOND: (a) I give and bequeath to my mother ROSALIE GERONIMO, all the contents of the jewelry box I once nicked from her pile of Christmas presents and of whatever is left in the pink double heart-shaped Hello Kitty jewelry case.

(b) To my brother FRANCIS GERONIMO, I give and bequeath my 21-inch Sony Wega because he does not have his own television set since his old one died years ago, poor him. Also, I entrust him all my mobile phones, all five of them, accessories included. Since I do not think any member of the family would want to use them given the fact that I am a professional texter and that there is always a possibility of me texting from beyond, I sincerely advice that the phones be sold for his own peace of mind.

(c) I give and bequeath to my friend MILADY NINONUEVO, the pink Lauren bag she sent me. It has not been used or at least the bag has not seen sun nor moon since it was personally delivered to me by her sister. I have been using it as a treasure chest, a depository of all things valuable to me.

(d) To my friend ROSE ANNE DIWA, I give and bequeath my other Lauren bag. She once told me it was cute and that she would like to have it if I am to give it away.

(e) I give and bequeath to my aunt ANELITA MATEO-ABARING, my Nine West shoulder bag. She can also have the Coach purse she gave me. She and I have traded bags, purses, and other stuffs before so I am pretty sure she would not object to another round.

(f) I give and bequeath to my cousin FLORELYN PASCUAL-VIZCARRA and her girls LOVELLE FRANCESCA and ALISANDRA LEIGH, my Gap handbag. They can also have my Esprit, the Tommy Hilfiger and the Guess wallets. And if they do not mind, they can take all my flip-flops, the Nike, my Esprit, the two Havaianas and the one from Gap, along with their loot.

(g) To my friend MARIE ANGELI DAVID, I give and bequeath the Nike shoulder bag she and Rose Anne gave me. She helped me pick the color of the Nike flip-flops to which they matched the bag with.

(h) I give and bequeath to my friend ELMERA VIADO, my Harry Potter books, all seven of them from The Sorcerer's Stone to The Deathly Hollows. She will be thrilled I just know it. The Tales of Beedle the Bard she can have as bonus.

(i) To my friend VERONICA ENDRINAL, I give and bequeath my Harry Potter video collection. With much love from Lolo Dumby, Sirius and yes, even Snivellus.

(j) I give and bequeath to my friend RAQUEL SAN AGUSTIN-SAMSON, my Shopaholic diaries, all five of them. I hope she enjoy the books as much as I did. She can take the other Sophie Kinsella books that I have if she like.

(k) To my friend MYLENE SANTIAGO-REGIDOR, I give and bequeath my Twilight book series, all four of them. Witches and wizards we are all through, time to embrace the vampires with their dog friends. She can also have the other Stephenie Meyer book that I own. The Chronicles of Narnia she may take with her, which as of this writing I still am missing two from the complete seven of the series. She is the only person I know from my circle of friends who knows Aslan and Prince Caspian.

(l) I give and bequeath to my friend MICHELLE CLAUDIO-DIZON, my Bob Ong book collection. More than a dozen people I have gifted with the first book but she has the most enthusiastic response. She will surely enjoy the other books the same way she enjoyed reading the first two.

(m) To my friend MARIA AURORA BARBOZA, I give and bequeath the remaining Hello Kitty stuffs that I own. I still have the band-aid holder, the tissue-holder, a trinket keeper, an unused diary, vanity case, vanity mirror, the trash bin, the jewelry case mentioned above, and others I have forgotten I still have but are just there lying around my room.

(n) I give and bequeath to my friend CHANDICE JENNELYN CO, my UE Red Warriors jacket. A remembrance of my five years I spent with them. I am done and she should have it now.

(o) To my friend EARN SAGUINDEL, I give and bequeath my copies of Chalk UAAP 2004, Meg July 2004, Chalk UAAP 2005, and Seventeen October 2005 issues. Because they have him there and I just do not see the point of him not keeping it when he is out collecting Slam.

(p) I give and bequeath to my nephew LANCELOT VIZCARRA, the 26 pieces of Model '8' making up my note/memo holder. He can finally have them after forever bugging me about not being able to make a truck because I have the bulk of the pieces with me.

(q) To my cousin JOVIT JOHN VALENZUELA, I give and bequeath my Hello Kitty stamper. Because it annoys him to see every book I own stamped with Kitty's head. To successfully annoy him is my greatest pleasure.

(r) I give and bequeath to my cousin IMELDA LANDAYAN-EFECTICIO, my Esprit and Fossil bags along with my Disney hat.

(s) To my cousin FRANZ PETER VALENZUELA, I give and bequeath the Mickey Mouse coffee mug he gave me years ago that I now use as a coin bank and my Esprit charm keyring because I know he will hate it but he will keep it anyway because I so loved it.

(t) I give and bequeath to my niece FIANNA GRACE GERONIMO, the white gold ring mother gave me as graduation present back in grade school. I am not even sure if it is a real diamond but an heirloom piece we can call it now since it was originally owned by mother. She can have the ring and the matching pair of earrings only after graduating from grade school. Fair and square, missy. For now I entrust them to my sister-in-law GISELLE GERONIMO, for safekeeping.

THIRD: I bequeath all the rest, residue, and remainder of my property of whatsoever kind or character and wheresoever situated, to my mother ROSALIE, again.

FOURTH: To all my relatives and friends who would like to have anything from my closet or my room in general, feel free to get whatever you fancy so long as it is not one of those specifically mentioned in this Will. And please ask the mother for permission first before you go raiding my room.

FIFTH: Will somebody please settle my phone bill before Globe go ballistic? I sure have money stashed away somewhere.
