It ends. He turns to look at her reaction.) Gail: Dawson, that was...very impressive. It was moving. It was funny. (pauses) It was real. Dawson: You're just saying that because you're my mother. Gail: No, I'm not! You are incredibly talented. Dawson: (gets up to go turn off the lights) You are incredibly biased. (pauses and turns around) You know what? I had such a distinct and clear vision for this movie. I-I mean, I saw every moment. I heard every word of dialogue. I guess I just...failed to translate that vision onto film...bring it to life. And what about all the visions that I have for the future? What if I can't bring those to life either? Gail: Sweetheart, the trick is to stay tenacious. Not to let any minor, (looks at the screen) and in this case, very minor, setback derail your vision. Dawson: I supposed I could re-edit it. Gail: There you go. Your movie may not be Citizen Kane...but it's no Bride of Chucky either. Dawson: The way my film teacher described it, you'd think it was the worst, most expensable, piece of junk ever captured on film. Gail: Ah, honey, that is just one person's opinion. (She walks towards the door and turns around) Speaking of teachers at your school, how's your father enjoying his new profession? Dawson: He likes it, I think. I mean, it's weird to see him in the teacher's lounge...con
SUMMARY:
With Joey's father suddenly back in town, Bessie and he decide to expand the Ice House to also cater for weddings. Needing help, they enlist Andie, who says she hates weddings, and Pacey, who loves them. Joey doesn't think her father, recently out of jail, should be seen so publicly in Capeside. Dawson feels sorry for his mother, who arrives to the wedding alone, a feeling that is exacerbated when his father shows up with Miss Kennedy. Jack and Dawson battle to help a scared bride, while Andie and Pacey scramble to fix the cake. Dawson and Joey reconnect romantically. Jen and Abby sneak into the wedding, but when Andie kicks them out, they head to the local docks, leading to tragedy.
