When we come back from the commercial, Pacey is still on the phone with the cops. He nods and says that he understands that he and Joey are low on the police's priority list. He sighs and hangs up the phone. Looks like they're stuck there.
Joey and Pacey walk separately and sadly through the K-Mart. Joey browses through the books, while Pacey thoughtfully examines the camcorders.
Joey has gone through every book that K-Mart stocks. She blinks sadly. Good luck finding Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in K-Mart, sister. That's her assignment, by the way. Did I forget to mention that earlier? These things happen. She picks up a copy of Bridget Jones's Diary and runs her hand over its promotional sticker, which reads, "Now a Major Motion Picture."
So, Joey heads over to the DVD section, where she easily finds the Johnny Depp version of Fear and Loathing. Which I heard sucked, by the way. But I haven't seen it. ["I expected it to suck, but ended up really liking it. Your mileage may vary." -- Sars] Anyhoo. She's looking at the DVD thoughtfully when Pacey comes on the intercom. "Joey Potter, you're needed in electronics. Joey Potter to electronics, please," he calls.
Joey rolls her eyes, and heads over to electronics. Pacey has fiddled with the TV/camcorder set-up so as to appear on every screen, creating an entire wall of Paceys. Joey blinks. "Is this thing on?" TV Pacey asks. "Okay. Well. Hey. It's me, obviously. And I come in peace," he says. Joey stifles a smile. "You and I, we're going to be here for a while. For quite a while, it seems. So I think it would be best if we could come to some sort of truce." At this, Joey folds her arms tightly. "And to facilitate this truce, I'm willing to admit to you on camera that yes, indeed, I am an ass. Which you probably already know. Better than most people. Better, probably, than anyone on earth. But I digress. My proposal is this: that we leave the past in the past, which is where it belongs anyway. That we try to make the best out of a bad situation. And that we get comfortable." Joey sort of smiles, and TV Pacey explains that he brought her something, which he's put on the counter. Joey turns around and sees a pair of lavender jammies and some fuzzy slippers. She smiles. "You will have at your disposal, for a limited time only, the ability to make me do one thing I really don't want to do," he adds. At this, Joey raises a brow. TV Pacey explains that she already did something for him that she didn't want to, and it's his turn to return the favor. "That's what friends are for," he adds.
