TEXT: #420 - Promicide [Joey's Room - Bessie is making some final adjustments on Joey's dress, while Pacey lays on Joey's bed watching.] Bessie: (with pins in her mouth, mumbling) Oh, Joey, you wook wadiant. Joey: (confused) What? Pacey: I believe she said, "oh, Joey, you look radiant." And I could not agree more with your wise assessment, Bess. Joey Potter, you do look absolutely radiant. Joey: I don't look radiant. I look silly. Pacey: That's ridiculous, Jo. I'm not even gonna dignify that comment with a response. Joey: Pacey, the prom? What are we, like, in high school? Pacey: Yeah. We are in high school last time I checked. Joey: Not to mention I don't have the best track record for these events. I mean, need I remind you, of the debacle that was last year's anti-prom? Bessie: (mumbling) Oh, God, I forgot to pick up Alexander. Pacey: Oh, my god. She forgot to pick up Alexander. Bessie: Pacey, you finish. Pacey: Ok. (he takes the scissors and Bessie rushes out.) Ok. Joey: So...you like my dress? Pacey: Well, I believe I already used the word radiant. Joey: Well, actually, 'cause I kind of figured that the dress really isn't the part that the guys care about. It's really the after-prom when the dress comes off. Pacey: Speaking of prom, I need for you to go and pick up the prom tickets. Joey: I thought you were gonna pick up the prom tickets. Pacey: Well, I tried to pick up the prom tickets, but my poor academic standing has put me on "the do not sell to" list. Joey: Did you remember the limo? Pacey: Yeah. Yeah, I remembered the limo. I told you I'm gonna take care of everything. Joey
