*Andie and Pacey are apartment scouting*
Andie: What is that?
Landlord: Rat trap. We have a little vermon infestation, not a big deal.
Andie: You're renting the place, as is?
Landlord: Yep. As is.
Andie: Still want that Viper?
Pacey: What are we doing here? Are we doing this project or are we moving in together? We've looked at twelve different apartment buildings and for what?
Andie: Research. Mr. Matick told us to do research.
Pacey: Yeah but the assignment is due tomorrow and we don't have a thing on paper.
Andie: Is that my fault?
Pacey: Yes! It is your fault. You're the one that's been leading us on this ridiculous apartment scavenger hunt.
*They're walking down the stairs*
Andie: I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I actually got into this project, Pacey. I'm sorry I'm not the biggest slacker on the planet.
Pacey: After all this, you still think I'm lazy.
Andie: No, Pacey, there's lazy and then there's you. Are you trying to win some teen rebel award? I mean, do you think it's cool to give the finger to everything and everyone that doesn't fit into your little self-destructive agenda.
Pacey: Let's get one thing straight. You don't know me.
Andie: Well enlighten me. My econ. grade depends on it.
Pacey: Okay, you want the broken record? Here it is. Since before the dawn of time, I have been designated the black sheep of my family. This label is permanent. I can't erase it, and I can't trade it in for a new one. I could bring home an 'A' in econ. or an 'F'. I could bring home the Nobel Peace Prize and it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference. So Miss Perky you try growing up in a family atmosphere like that and see if you can stay motivated.
Andie: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
Pacey: No, of course not. You were too busy getting into character. "Oh I'm just a salesclerk, a poor little salesclerk look for an apartment." You want to know the reason this assignment is so fascinating to you? In reality, you've never had a problem in your life. You drive around in your Saab, you buy your new clothes, and you basically throw your money away. The idea that people actually have to budget their money is like some novelty to you. You're rich and you're spoiled and that's what it comes down to!
Andie: You know what, you're right. I don't know anything about me and you know even less about me so just leave me alone!
Pacey: Andie, wait, I....
Landlord: So�are you going to take the apartment?

*Cut to Andie and Pacey.*
Andie: Pacey, hey!
Pacey: Hey.
Andie: Thanks for finishing the project. I guess I can never call you lazy again
Pacey: Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday. 'Kay. I think we were both suffering from a case of false impressions. I talked to your brother last night and he explained to me that your family is not exactly the Rockefellar's.
Andie: He did?
Pacey: Yeah, so I feel like the world's biggest chump here.
Andie: Don't sweat it.
Pacey: No, really, it's true. I obviously don't know anything about you.
Andie: Look, Pacey, my life is like a Movie of the Week is better left out of this conversation here, okay?
Pacey: Okay.
Andie: So what I want to know is did we get the viper?
Pacey: Come on, after all we've been through do you think I could really get the Viper?
*Andie gives him a look.*
Pacey: Okay, I had to but it's such an awesome car.
Andie: That means all of our kids are stuffed into a 2-bedroom apartment.
Pacey: Actually it's a one bedroom apartment, but, you know, the family that lays together stays together.
Andie: Pacey, 5 people in one bedroom. That is insanity!
Pacey: Are you complaining? I stayed up all night finishing this project.
*They pass a convertible where the lady in it turns her head and takes off her sunglasses revealing that it's miss jacobs.*
