TEXT: [Scene: Joey and Audrey's dorm room. The room has been made up to be a set for a movie, and Dawson is making Oliver's film, with Audrey and Oliver staring. Pacey is the boom mic operator] Audrey: I know who you are. Oliver: You only just met me. Audrey: I know you're a snake and a con artist. I know you've slept your way through the entire female student body and half the faculty. The kind of boy who'll break your heart and then start in on your sister Oliver: Ahh. You must be confused. Understandable. It's a common affliction among blondes. Audrey: Ugh. Oliver: Truth is, I'm none of those things. Audrey: Oh, yeah? Then who are you? Oliver: I'm just the boy that's gonna tear your soul apart. [They kiss, and then Audrey pushes away.] Audrey: This is ridiculous. I can't do this. Dawson: Ah, cut. I guess. Audrey: Amateurs. I'm surrounded by amateurs. Dawson, will you just run with me here for a second. If I were a girl trying to seduce a boy-- and trust me, ok, I've been that girl many times-- I would never let him know how much I want him. Never. Ever. I mean, that's the exact moment when they lose interest. Sorry, it's just-- it's feeble writing. Oliver: Hey, hey. I'm right here. Dawson: We should've made the animated movie. Jen: Woulda-coulda-shoulda. Hmm. Dawson: All right. Audrey... You gotta penetrate the subtext, ok? Remember, she knows that he knows that she knows what kind of man he is. All right? So if he knows that she knows and she knows that he knows... See what I'm getting at? Audrey: Yeah. Dawson: All right. Great. All right. Let's shoot the scene before we get old and die in our sleep. Ok. Back to one, people. Pacey: Oh, I'm sorry. Dawson: Ah,
SUMMARY:
Directing Oliver's movie is not an easy task. First, Dawson has to deal with lead actress Audrey who has complaints about Oliver's kissing skills. Then he has to recast the other lead role after discovering that Oliver is a terrible actor. Jen's slimy ex Charlie is the only one who fits the bill. During the shooting Audrey has a crisis and locks herself in the bathroom because she kissed Pacey and felt like she was betraying her best friend. Joey arrives to help smooth things over and gives Audrey and Pacey her blessing. Meanwhile, Jack is fed up with his friends and decides to move out of the fraternity house after he and Eric almost kiss and Jack is accused of forcing himself on Eric.
