Elsewhere, some guy in a varsity jacket pulls up in a Jeep beside a walking-to-school Joey, and offers her a lift. Apparently his name is Warren Garry. She says she's waiting for Ted Bundy. He says Ted's a lucky guy. She starts to tell him who Ted Bundy was and he stuns her by already knowing. He says he needs a merit badge, and he plans to say she's eighty, and blind. She gets in. He asks if it's cold, or if she's just happy to see him. She stares at him in disbelief for a second, and then disgustedly says, "You had to do it. You had to live up to the expectations. Does it bother you to know that you single-handedly perpetuate a stereotype?" He asks which answer will result in their getting "friendly" down in the sand together. Joey says, "You know, if having sex with you would end famine, disease, and war, and if kissing you would bring on a new age of enlightenment --" He says, "You know what? You talk a lot." ["Um, writers? Please address that check for Jordan Catalano's dialogue to the production team of My So-Called Life. Thanks." -- Sars]
Joey gives him a look of naked contempt, and then turns away and glares out the window. "That's better," he says. Gross. He adds, "So, is that all you and your boyfriend Dawson -- and I use the term loosely -- do? Talk?" She tells him he doesn't need to use the term at all since he's not her boyfriend. Warren explains that "it was the 'boy' part [he] was referring to," and asks if Joey has ever seen Dawson throw a baseball. Okay, I don't even know why Joey is still in the car at this point, much less having this conversation, but anyway she informs him that there's no correlation between "a slider and a sperm count." Warren says, "How would you know? You're obviously a virgin." Joey looks embarrassed and disgusted in equal measure, but to cover, she asks, "How do you know that Dawson and I haven't been going at it for years? I mean, we could be annotating The Kama Sutra for all you know." Like this lunkhead knows the Kama Sutra from a pile of gravel. Joey goes on: "You know, I may be a virgin, but believe me, it's by choice." He nods dismissively.
Dawson and his new best friend Billy stroll the halls of Capeside High. Dawson says that Billy could have waited in the car. Billy says he won't tell anyone they're together. The first person they see is Pacey "Little Caesar" Witter, who asks Dawson what Billy is doing there. Dawson tells Pacey their plan to go clubbing in Providence. Pacey claps him on the shoulder and exclaims, "Finally! Dawson's evil twin. This has been a much anticipated pleasure." Pacey puts his books back in his locker and takes out his bag. Dawson asks what he's doing. Pacey says he's going with them. Billy, who has been chatting up a couple of co-eds throughout this exchange, strolls back over. Dawson wimpily indicates Pacey and meekly asks, "Billy?" Billy says, "Hey," and Pacey acts as if the question is settled. Dawson says he has to turn in his math homework and then "we're outta here." Pacey rolls his eyes as Dawson goes off and says, "Yeah. Walk on the wild side."
