Anyway, Joey's mouth drops open; she doesn't want to talk about it, it's not that important. Maybe not to her, but it's really important to Pacey. Joey slits her eyes and reminds him that it isn't all about him: "Do you have any idea what it's like to be me this morning?" Pacey doesn't understand. "No, of course you don't," Joey snipes. Maybe she'd "like to enlighten" him, then. Joey gathers her courage, then asks in a low tone if it's occurred to him that she's wondering how she measures up, especially since he's had sex before and she hasn't. Pacey didn't know "girls thought like that." "Does the word 'duh' mean anything?" Joey says softly. Pacey says enthusiastically, "You were great!" Good save, Pacey. "Great?" Joey repeats skeptically, a happy smile tickling the corners of her mouth. Yes, Pacey says. Great, fantastic, "every glowing adjective under the sun," and way better than "nice." Joey interrupts that that's "beside the point" -- and I see what she means, but once she actually has an orgasm, I think she'll change her tune pretty quickly, if you know what I mean, and I think you do -- but Pacey says that he wants to "run out and tell the whole world" about the night before. Joey's face falls: "You're not really planning on doing that, are you?" No. "Good." Now it's Pacey's face's turn to fall: "Why is that good?" "Because it's private," Joey bites out; she doesn't want the whole world knowing about their sex life. Pacey gets it -- by "the whole world," she means "Dawson." Joey starts in with the "you can't always bring our fights back to Dawson" thing, saying she just doesn't want to hurt Dawson any more than she already has. Yeah, Joey? He HAS another GIRLFRIEND now, so GET OVER IT, and yourself, AND HIM! Jesus! Pacey says he doesn't want to hurt Dawson either, but he does want to have sex with his girlfriend, whom he adores, without having to worry about "the soap-operatic repercussions" of Dawson finding out. Oh my god, PREACH IT, Pacey. Joey turns away and slumps back on the couch, pouting. Pacey asks her what she'd say if Dawson asked her right then whether or not she and Pacey had slept together. Joey glares at him for a long moment before snarling, "Well, I would have to tell him the truth."
Sars: [knock knock knock]
Jacob The Amish Gentleman: Hello? Oh, greetings, Goodwife Bunting.
Sars: It's...you know, just "Sars" is fine. I'm so sorry about this. I had no idea he'd get this far on foot.
