The Breakfast Club Pretty Woman Breaking Away

The Breakfast club

Dawson:    Joey, it's just a matter of time.
Joey:      Before what, before my brain short circuits and I start bedding down with every guy            with a fast car and big biceps?
Dawson:    Before you find the right person.
Joey:      I have.
Dawson:    Joey?
Joey:      I'm sorry Dawson, I don't know whats going on. I have all these feelings, all these            weird feelings. I don't know how to say it and I can't say it. We've known each
           other for so long and you know everyting about me, everything, and I can't even say            this, I can't. And I just feel really lonely.
Dawson:    Joe, you're not alone.
Joey:      Yes I am.
Dawson:    Joe, I'm here for you, I was here for you in sixth grade and I'm here for you now,            OK. Nothing you can say is going to change that, nothing. Maybe if you just say
           these things then, they'll be out in the open, the feelings won't be as strong
           anymore, you will be free. 
Joey:      I can't. I can't, because if I say these things I can't ever take them back. It'll            change everything and I can't do that I can't.

Pretty Woman

Dawson:   Joey, whats wrong?
Joey:     I don't know Dawson theres something thats just not right about this.
Dawson:   I thought this was what you wanted, I mean....
Joey:     It's my own stupid fault, I mean dressing up, playing the princess, you and I both           know this isn't me.
Dawson:   Joey, of course it is.
Joey:     I thought this was what I wanted, for you to see me as beautiful, for you to look at           me the way you look at Jen. But the truth is I don't want that at all Dawson. I want
          you to look at me and see the person you've always known and realise that what we
          have is so much more incredible than some passing physical attraction.

Joey:     I'd like to tell today's youth that wherever life takes you, big cities, small
          towns, you'll inevitably come across small minds. People who think they are better           than you are. People who think that material things or being pretty or popular
          automatically makes you a worthwhile human being. I'd like to tell today's youth
          that none of these things matter unless you have a strength of character, integrity,           a sense of pride. And if you are lucky enough to have any of these things don't ever
          sell them, dont ever sell out. So when you meet a person for the first time, please           don't judge them by their station in life, because who knows, that person might just
          end up being your best friend.

Breaking Away

Joey:      Hi. I don't really know what I'm doing here. That's not true, look I came here
           tonight because I wanted to tell you that you messed up, you really messed up and            not because you broke the law or you got caught, or you left me without a father.
           You messed up because you don't know me, I'm your daughter and you don't know me at            all. So I guess I just came to say that I'm alright, I turned out pretty good and
           I'm going to be OK, with no help from you. And I just have one question, do you love
           me?
Mr Potter: More than you will ever know and I'm sorry I am so sorry.
Joey:      Do you think about me?
Mr Potter: Sweetheart, all day long, every day, every hour, every minute.
Joey:      Do you really love me though, because i'm 15 years old and I go through every day
           of my life thinking nobody loves me.
Mr Potter: Well nothing could be further from the truth, I'm not the only one, Dawson Leery,            he loves you Joey - He's never told you?
Joey:      Never.
Mr Potter: Well he does, I know it.
Joey:      How?
Mr Potter: Because he looks at you the same way your mother used to look at me. And you love            him? Have you told him? You have to tell him Joey don't make my mistake, don't wait
           until someone you love is eaten with cancer and wasting away while you hold back
           the one thing they're waiting to hear.
Joey:      I love you dad.


Dawson:    Joey, god i've been looking everywhere, where have you.. Look there's nothing going
           on between Jen and me, what you saw today was completely innocent.
Joey:      Look you don't have to explain to me Dawson.
Dawson:    Yes I do.
Joey:      Why, why do feel the need to explain, we're just friends thats all Dawson.
Dawson:    Joey common you know that's not true.
Joey:      So what are we Dawson? You know I am so tired of the way we relate to one another.            I mean we spend all our time analysing our sad little adolecent lives.
Dawson:    I know we know too many big words but it's a good thing to analyse.
Joey:      It doesn't get us anywhere, I mean it doesn't move us forward, we are in the same            place we were three months ago. It's time to grow up Dawson.
Dawson:    I know Joey we can, we are growing up.
Joey:      No were not. Every day is the same, we watch a movie preferably a speilberg film,            find the appropriate life correlation and then we pat ourselves on the back for
           being so clever. You know in as much as our perception is dead on our honesty is
           severely lacking Dawson.
Dawson:    There is sopmething lacking.
Joey:      The reason I came here tonight is because we need to move on. Look we're not kids            anymore, and I'm not going to do this anymore and I just thought you should know.
Dawson:    So are you going to France?
Joey:      Ahhh the inevitable cliffhanger, am I going to France.
Dawson:    Are you?
Joey:      Look I am tired of all the drama in my life right now Dawson and leaving town just            makes the most sense to me so..
Dawson:    No it doesn't.
Joey:      Why should I stay? Is there some new release at the video store I don't know about.            It's time to grow up Dawson.
Dawson:    Then we'll do it together, Joey I can grow up, give me a chance even spielberg
           outgrew his peter pan syndrome.
Joey:      I could have told you that months ago Dawson.
Dawson:    You did.
Joey:      Look Dawson, i'm so tired of dancing round these big words, I just want to be
           honest with you.
Dawson:    Me too, Joe more than anything I just want to be honest.
Joey:      Do you think we're ready for that honesty?
Dawson:    Yeah, I do.
Joey:      Are you sure because honesty is a big word and it changes things and it complicates            things and, are you sure you are ready for everything that goes along with telling
           the truth?
Dawson:    [silence]
Joey:      I'll see ya Dawson.
Dawson:    Joey, Joey.........
And you know what comes next ;)
