These two scenes were omitted from the final version of "The Longest Day". They involve Andie and Will and their developing kind-of-relationship, and give some more insight into the character of Will. The first one would have occurred right before Andie runs into Pacey in the library in Act 1 (we actually get to see Will ask her out, instead of just hearing about it). The second one came at the end of Act 4, in between the scene where Dawson tells Joey to leave, and where Dawson and Jen talk in his room. It gives a little more resonance to the whole "Orpheus and Euridice" myth that Will spun for Andie in the rowboat.

If you have a website and are considering posting these, I'd appreciate it if you contact me for permission, first. Thanks!

ACT 1, SCENE 5

INT. CAPESIDE PUBLIC LIBRARY - DAY (DAY 1)

Andie and Will on a mission. She flips through a book...

				ANDIE
		So what we need here is a disease which
		would explain why you never returned from
		spring break.

				WILL
		Nothing too life-threatening, but
		definitely contagious. Otherwise, I can
		forget about...

				ANDIE
		About what?

				WILL
		Changing my life. Changing my future.
		There's a boarding school in New Rawley.
		Best prep school in the country,
		actually. And they only give out one
		scholarship a year. I know it's a major
		long shot.

				ANDIE
		Maybe not. From what you've told me
		about your life, seems like you're due
		for a break. Anyway, you can't hide out
		in Capeside forever.

She looks at him. Understands how important this is.
Then...

				WILL
		You wouldn't want to grab dinner, maybe
		hang out or something tonight?

				ANDIE
		That sounds suspiciously like a date in
		sheep's clothing.

				WILL
		I'm such a gutless wonder. Asking
		without really asking. Feel free to 
		answer without really answering.

				ANDIE
		Consider it done.

Andie starts walking away.

				WILL
		Is that a yes or a no?

				ANDIE
		Pick me up at eight, I'll let you know.

Feeling slightly jazzed from getting asked out, Andie walks
off around a corner, where she promptly runs smack into...

[Scene continues where she talks to Pacey, as aired]

ACT 4, SCENE 36

EXT. MCPHEE HOUSE - NIGHT

Will is dropping Andie off. But she just sits there, not
wanting to open the car door. Not wanting to do anything.

				ANDIE
		Not your typical first date, huh? 

				WILL
		Who wants to be typical? I'd rather be
		memorable. 

				ANDIE
		Well, you got that all right.

				WILL
		For what it's worth... I would like to
		try it again sometime. I mean I'd 
		understand if you said no. I'd even
		understand why you said no.

				ANDIE
		I was so close, you know. So close to
		starting over. And then I just... looked
		back.

Will knows this story. In fact, he told this story. They sit
a moment longer before Will adds softly.

				WILL
		You can, y'know...

				ANDIE
		What?

				WILL
		Cry, if you want to. I know we hardly
		know each other, but I'd understand.

His sweetness allows Andie the opportunity to let go. And as
she begins to cry, Will offers his shoulder and all the
comfort a new friend can give.
