(High school)
Dean: yeh all right cya Dave....oooof
....: shit. Grow some fucking eyes!
Dean: you....!
Jess: (amused and mocking) you!
Dean: (coldly) what do you want
Jess: you bumped into me bag boy
(Dean looks angry...REAL angry, nostrils begin to flare eyes narrow steam comming out of ears)
Dean: look you little punk you better stop aggravating me
Jess: ohh well done Dean-y boy, a four syllable word, hey can you say Ne-an-der-thal?
(Jess watches his eyes laughing as Dean really starts to lose it)
Dean: what is your problem city rat?? Huh??
Jess: huh, well take a stab and see
Dean: Look just stay out of my way....and Rory's
Jess: oh ok... I see you now own her
Dean: she is MY girlfriend
Jess: and?
Dean: and that means she's off-limits!
Jess: oh god what does she see in you? She's not fucking property you can't piss a circle around her
Dean: Jess I'm warning you
Jess: whatever, I'll see you later Frank
(smirks and walks off)
Dean: asshole
(Rory's bus is stopping and she spots Dean)
Rory: Dean...
Dean: hey there
(they kiss)
Rory: what are you doing?
Dean: what I can't see my girlfriend?
Rory: no..it's just I thought you were working
Dean: yeh well I thought I could find some time to spend with you
Rory: oh that's sweet Dean
(they start walking towards Rory's house, real awkward silence)
Dean: so about the other day..... I didn't mean to get so upset
Rory: oh yeh
Dean: it's just I kinda wigged when I saw you with him
Rory: don't I know it
Dean: forgive me?
Rory:....of course
(they hug)
Rory: well we're here
Dean: I'll see you later?
Rory: sure
Dean: bye
(they kiss, very ver y bad kiss...kinda like a peck)
(Rory walks into her room and flops onto her bed)
Why am I thinking like this? I should be happy Dean is being so mature about this. I love him.... I LOVE HIM. It doesn't sound right, it sounds too forced. And whenever we kiss, it feels empty, no real passion or love, I feel like I'm kissing my best friend rather than boyfriend
RIIINGGG RIINNNGG
Rory: ahhh god....hello?
(voice is squeeky and creepy)
....: watch out my pretty.... i know where you live and all your secrets....
Rory: mom....
Lorelai: damn, and here I was thinking my voice was so disguised
Rory: hehe, whats up?
Lorelai: problem at the inn, I have to stay back, moneys in the rabbi go to Luke's?
Rory: oh ok sure
Lorelai: bye hun see you in 3
Rory: bye mum
Lorelai: muah
(hang up)
(Rory walks into the pretty empty diner and Jess is wiping down tables, tip-toes up behind him and, mimicking the actions of the other day)
Rory: Boo
Jess: ah...jeeez Rory
(Rory laughs)
Rory: hey
Jess: hey
Rory: wow there isn't many people here
Jess: the way I like it
Rory: so then I spose you can join me for dinner?
Jess: your mom.....
Rory: don't worry she's at the inn
(Jess looks around at the 2 customers who are finishing up)
Jess: huh...interesting, sure why not, it's not like I've got a heap of work to do
Rory: cool...where's Luke?
Jess: take a guess
Rory: I dunno, healthy eating freaks anonymous?
(Jess smiles at that)
Jess: hmm wouldn't put him past that, nah he's also at the inn...
Rory: really??
Jess: yeh ...supposedly a room's window is broken and they really need to fix it
Rory: huh, they so like each other
Jess: they are so in denial
(smile at each other)
Jess: so what can I get you?
Rory: the usual, burger with fries, oh can you pick off the lettuce?
Jess: vegetables not your friend?
Rory: never! And a soda
Jess: what..no coffee?
Rory: had way too much at home
Jess: ok coming right up
Rory: hey could I grab a book from upstairs?
Jess: sure, just don't get too scared by the mess
Rory: hehe sure thing, be right back
(Rory walks upstairs just as Dean walks into the diner and Jess out of the kitchen)
Jess: bag boy, what a pleasant surprise
Dean: cut the crap...can I get 2 burgers and fries and two coffees to go
Jess: what are you ...eating for two?
Dean: it's for Rory
Jess: huh...is it
Dean: yeh it is
(Dean looks cocky Jess smirks and looks up as Rory thunders down the stairs saying)
Rory: hey could I borrow 'on the road' to take ho.....Dean
(Dean looks at Rory amazed and angry Jess is still standing there smirking)
Dean: RORY!
Rory: uh this isn't what it looks like
Dean: yeh what does it look like? Huh? Your here with him, AGAIN and you just came from his APARTment!
Rory: I just went up to get a book...
Dean: oh yeh sure
Jess: man give her break just trust your girlfriend for a change!
Dean: butt out! if I want your opinion...i don't want your opinion....
Rory: Dean I came here for dinner because my mum is still at the inn, I went upstairs to get a book, that's all
Dean: why did you come here?
Rory: what do you mean, I want food
Dean: why didn't you go to Al's or order take out...
Rory: well I like Luke's
Jess: here's your two burgers and fries and coffees, Rory, here's your burger fries and soda
Rory: what are you ...eating for two?
Dean: no actually I was going to come over to your place
Rory: oh...
Dean: you know what forget it, stay here, eat with diner rat
(Dean shoves notes onto the counter and storms out)
Jess: huh....
(Rory looks annoyed and angry)
Rory: oh god, what is wrong with him, why is he acting like I'm cheating on him?
Jess: well...
Rory: don't answer that
Jess: hey, no comment
Rory: I think I've lost my appetite
Jess: c'mon cheer up, Frank'll calm down, do you want to eat?
Rory: yeh I spose
(they walk up to an empty booth and sit down with their dinner)
(a few hours later, the diner is empty except for Jess and Rory who are still talking and mucking around)
Rory: nahhh I've never heard a Tool song
Jess: really? You're missing out
Rory: I've always thought they were a weird gothic/grunge band
Jess: nah they're good.... I can lend you the cd if you want
Rory: that'll be great
(they were so absorbed in their world they didn't see Luke and Lorelai walking towards the diner)
Lorelai: you're still here?
Rory: oh hey!
Luke: nothing's burnt? Broken?
Jess: calm down, no everything's fine, food?
Lorelai: it's 9:30 shouldn't you be home?
Rory: huh? Woah already?
Lorelai: yeh and yeh, burger and fries
(Jess nods and goes to the kitchen)
Rory: oh I didn't realise, well then let's get going
(Lorelai looks at Rory puzzled)
Luke: hang on, your food
(they walk towards the counter)
Lorelai: oh yeh, and thanks for the help!
Luke: yeh sure whatever
Lorelai: you're a god for coming on such short notice...thanks again!
(Jess enters with a paper bag)
Jess: here you go
Lorelai: thanks, we'll see you'se two later, and Luke, again, thank you
Luke: sure thing
Rory: bye Jess, thanks for the book, Luke cya
Jess: no problem
Rory: bye
Jess: bye
(smile and wave)
Lorelai: so what were you doing there so late
Rory: I lost track of time
Lorealia: huh....
Rory: Dean came over
Lorelai: really....
Rory: yeh, he took it all wrong again
Lorelai: I don't blame him
Rory: what's that spose to mean?
Lorelai: it's just, well it does look bad, your at the diner with Jess, again, laughing and smiling
Rory: we're friends, that's what friends do
Lorelai: maybe a bit too friendly
Rory: what?? You wouldn't be acting like this if it were Lane
Lorelai: no I wouldn't, because she obviously doesn't have an interest in you, unless she suddenly turned Ellen
Rory: oh god, we are friends, that's what friends do laugh joke talk
Lorelai: sweetie for someone as smart as you, you're pretty blind
Rory: what is that supposed to mean?
Lorelai: Jess likes you! I've seen the way he looks at you, the way he talks to you. And frankly I think you're falling for him too....
Rory: that's ridiculous
Lorelai: is it? I see your eyes light up when you see him, as much as I want to deny it, you two obviously have a mutual attraction and chemistry.
Rory: no, I have a boyfriend who I love forever and ever, Jess and I are just like best friends, that's all! I don't feel like talking anymore, I'll see you tomorrow
Lorelai: think about it, don't string Dean along if it's Jess you want
(Rory goes to her room)
Does he really like me? Could it be true? Do I WANT it to be true? But I have Dean, I love Dean, I think I love Dean. Then there's Jess, someone I can talk to without feeling obliged to say anything, the silences are not awkward, he's so easy to be around. I like him....as a friend...not anything more, I can't like him as anything more. But that doesn't mean I don't. Face it Rory, you're under his spell,
Rory: Damn it!
(at the same time)
I've never let someone actually get to me, but no I let my guard down, and now I'm under her spell. She's my savior. I've never had a relationship with someone where the silences are comfortable, and when we do talk it's never boring. But then I think about her and the possessive jerk, I hate putting her in those positions, why does he have to be there?
Jess: Damn it!
(a few days have passed, it's Saturday evening)
Lorelai: (whining) Rory...Rory... I'm bored!
(looking up from 'on the road')
Rory: well...what do you want to do?
Lorelai: I dunno! It's still early, we could go rent a movies, get ice cream and pig out!
Rory: hmm...sounds good...let's go
(they jump up and head for the jeep)
Lorelai: ok I'll get the movies, you the food...oh go to Luke's and pick up a few coffees.
Rory: right
(they part and Rory heads to the diner)
Jess: coffee?
Rory: need to ask?
Jess: how many?
Rory: 4 to go
Jess: so what's up? Haven't seen you around much
Rory: just..been at home mostly...thinking
Jess: well of course...Rory the intellectual
Rory: why is it everytime I'm hanging around you, Dean barges in and takes it the wrong way?
Jess: he's a stalker?
Rory: funny....seriously though... I just want you to know regardless of what Dean says we're friends, always
Jess: is this the part where some cheesy music comes on and we hug?
Rory: and Dean barges in again and whacks you one? Yeh....
(they smile)
Jess: here you go
Rory: thanks, I'll see you later
Jess: yeh see you....
(Rory walks out and heads towards Doose's)
Dean: hey Rory!
Rory: oh hey Dean
Dean: so what are you doing?
Rory: oh nothing just watching movies with mom.... Have to get some junk
Dean: oh ok... I was thinking we could hang out tomorrow
Rory: uh yeh sure!
Dean: ok then I'll pick you up at 11?
Rory: ok sounds great
(she walks to the confectionery aisle and picks up some junk then goes to pay for them)
Rory: bye Dean
Lorelai: got the food?
Rory: check
Lorelai: got the coffee?
Rory: check
Lorelai: 3 packets of seaweed and a box of hair?
Rory: huh?
Lorelai: nothing
Rory: what movie did you get?
Lorelai: A walk to remember and how harry met sally
Rory: oh cool...c'mon
(both Gilmore's are sobbing)
Rory: that was so sweet... I want a Shane West
Lorelai: pass the tissues
Rory: blehhh, i'm going for a walk...that was just too depressing
Lorelai: ok don't be too long
Rory: see you in a few
Dean: yeh all right cya Dave....oooof
....: shit. Grow some fucking eyes!
Dean: you....!
Jess: (amused and mocking) you!
Dean: (coldly) what do you want
