Dawson's Creek, Season 3

Joey:
Why didn't we just drive?

Pacey:
Because, Potter, on occasion my pop actually likes to use his car.

Joey:
So I risk my future to cut class so I could stand in line at the post office and then traipse five miles through the wilderness carrying some stupid package?

Pacey:
Oh, God. You know, did you ever stop to think about how much hormonally charged energy you waste on these quick quips and the biting banter? Your life would be considerably more productive if you would just take some more, ah… oh, what is that? More, ah… action! If you took more action.

Joey:
Oh, what, like voluntary manslaughter?

Pacey:
Well how 'bout sticking out your thumb, huh?

Joey:
Oh yeah? And what else? Maybe hike up my skirt, pout my lips, strike some sexy pose for some horndog trucker? Stick out your own thumb you sexist toad.

Pacey:
I am not a sexist, I am a pragmatist. OK? You ever seen The Sure Thing? That movie elegantly portrays one of life's simple truths-that a female standing on the side of a road, even one with a perpetual scowl like yourself, has a better chance of flagging down a car than a guy.

Joey:
Since I'm the only one here with an opposable thumb, I guess it's up to me to use it.

Pacey:
[a car approaches] And here's your chance. [He jumps over some bushes]

[Joey sticks her thumb out as a car approaches. It slows down and comes to a stop, to Joey's surprise]

Joey:
[leaning into the window] Hi...

Principal Green:
Today is your lucky day Miss Potter, need a ride back to school?
