TEXT: [Scene: Inside the local store. Jen and Pacey are shopping for items for the Thanksgiving dinner.] Jen: Uh, don't let me forget to get the creamed onions, either. Pacey: Oh, no. Mm-mmm. Jen: What's the matter? You don't like creamed onions? Pacey: No, man, they creep me out. I'm being dead serious here, too. Just the thought of 'em makes me sick to my stomach. Jen: Ok, Pacey, how about this? I promise to keep all offending vegetables out of your line of sight at all times. Good? Pacey: You know, Jen, when I suggested that we hook up today, this is not exactly what I had in mind. Jen: Believe me, Pacey, I know, but unfortunately, Grams' Thanksgiving feast Takes precedence over our burgeoning s*x life. Pacey: Correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't actually have a s*x life yet, do we? Jen: What, and you think that that's my fault? Pacey: Uh...Yeah. I do actually think that that's your fault. Jen: I'm sorry, Pacey I just find it difficult to... To watch you paw at me with... [Laughs] Pacey: Foreplay is no laughing matter. How do you expect a guy to do his best work in the face of scorn and derision? Jen: It's just that we're friends...Right? And seeing as how we are friends, but now we're friends that... Do that, um... It's just gonna take a lit le time getting used to. Although maybe we could find a moment later? Pacey: I can't. I think I have to go to my parents' for Thanksgiving. Jen: Ok. Pacey: I'm sorry. I have to. I figure it's probably the right thing to do, seeing as they brought me into the world and all. Jen: Gee, you sound so excited. Pacey: Well, it's such a joyous occasion. Just imagine it-
