The next scene finds Dawson reading on a park bench across from the laundromat. Oh yeah -- you blend. Pacey joins him and hands him a drink, saying that obsession isn't pretty. Dawson asks Pacey why it doesn't bother him that they don't know everything about Skeeve. Pacey says that there are women who will "come onto the movie set that is your life" to function "solely as day players," and hence will always remain "an impenetrable mystery." Uh. Skeeve is a lot of things, but "impenetrable" is decidedly not one of them. Dawson whines that Skeeve came into his life just to stir things up for her own amusement. Pacey asks if she didn't "try to go where no girl has gone before." I rest my case. Dawson goes back over everything they thought they knew about her, that turned out to be false. Pacey tells Dawson to calm down, and then suggests that they rent that movie where Matt Dillon has that really outstanding threesome with Neve Campbell "and that girl from Starship Troopers." I have to say, Wild Things really is a deceptively good movie. Dawson agrees, and they both get up. Pacey says, "One more thing. My brother -- he gave you the laundromat speech, didn't he?" Dawson says, "Yeah!" Pacey laughs. Um. So did I. On their way to the store, they pass Eve at an ice cream cart. Pacey tells Dawson that Deputy Doug's stakeout method is fine, but that Pacey prefers his father's technique of "pin the tail on the suspect." They follow Skeeve.
At the dock, Sleazy Rob rings a bell and asks Joey for some service. She growls, "Very funny," but he says he's serious; he has his father's boat and that he doesn't want to get gas all over himself because he's on a date. Joey walks over and pauses next to him to say, "You may have overdone it on the CK One." Hee! Rob starts taunting Joey about his date, as if she cares, saying that she's a cutie, about Joey's age, but a better dresser who's not so uptight about "showing a little skin." Joey rolls her eyes. Rob concludes by saying, "I am going to get so lucky tonight." Joey says, "Don't tell me you actually found some high-school girl so riddled with insecurities that she would actually fall for your minor-league Humbert Humbert impersonation." She goes to gas up the boat.
A door on the boat slides open and out steps Andie "Rootin' Tootin'" McPhee, effusively greeting Joey and explaining that she ran into Rob -- who went to school with her brother Tim -- at the country club. Andie asks Rob if he knew that Joey and Andie were friends. Rob says he had a sneaking suspicion, since it is a small town. Joey asks Andie where "Moneybags" is taking her. Andie says that they're going to the movies, because "it's too hot to do anything else." It's hot? Rob says, "Well, almost anything else." Andie giggles flirtatiously, and says, "That wasn't a sexual overture, was it?" Rob says, "Ssshh, Andie. Not in front of the K-I-D." Andie snerks. Joey finishes filling the gas tank and starts to walk off, but Rob stops her putting a bill waaaaay down in the breast pocket of her shirt. Joey rolls in her shoulders to move the fabric further away from the breast beneath, plucks the bill out from the pocket, and hands it back to him, sneering, "Save it for bail money." I'm raising the roof for Old Joey, here.
