TEXT: [Scene: Dawson's House. Jack and Dawson are in his Dark room, talking while Dawson is developing some pictures he has taken.] Jack: Oh, how does it feel to have a dream come true? Dawson: Why? Do I look like I'm trapped in an elevator with Kate Hudson? Jack: Dawson, come on. Last night at the holiday party, you kissed Gretchen Witter. I mean, you remember her, right? It's the girl you once described to me as your first crush. Dawson: She photographs very nicely, doesn't she? Jack: Ok. As much as I appreciate your attempt to feign coolness, ha ha ha ha. You can't tell me this means nothing to you. Dawson: Oh, no, not nothing, but, uh, you know, virtually nothing. I mean, was she once the unapproachable, bikini-clad object of my preadolescent affection? Jack: Yeah. Dawson: Is she now? No. She's a friend. I would like to keep her one. Jack: Uh-huh. Famous last words. Dawson: Not every kiss has to be a life-altering event. Jack: I know. Believe me, I know. All right. I got to go. Dawson: Hey, can you take this with you to Jen's house, give it to Grams? Jack: How do you know I'm going over there? Dawson: Please? Jack: Yeah, ok. We're driving up to Provincetown. We're going to something called a gay-straight team coalition. Dawson: It sounds vaguely political. Jack: Yeah. Well, that's what I'm afraid of. Other than that, it should be interesting. I know. [They exit the dark room and Dawson goes to answer the front door.] Gretchen: Hey! Dawson: [Chuckles] hey. Gretchen: I, uh, I came by to, you know, help clean up, since it was sort of my party and all. But you have obviously done that already. Dawson: Yeah. Sorry. Jack: Yeah, ok, I'm going to go. Dawson: All right. Later. Gretchen: Later. [J
SUMMARY:
Joey can't find a moment alone to study or deal with her feelings. Dawson's collaboration with Brooks begins, rejuvenating his filmmaking spirit. Jen takes Jack to a "Gay-Straight Teen Coalition" meeting but she seems to fit in with the crowd more than Jack does. They meet one of the lead members, Toby, and he clashes with Jack, leading to him being exceptionally keen to putting Jack down.
