A few hours later they came out of the cinema, laughing.

J: "Did you see that couple in front of us? I don't think they saw a lot of the movie"

R: "And because of that we didn't see a lot of the movie"

J: "Well, you have to admit, the movie was kinda boring"

R: "It was funny"

J: "And boring"

R: "It wasn't boring"

J: "Do you want me to take you home? You had to be home by eleven"

R: "What time is it?"

J: "Almost 11.30"

R: "My mom is gonna be mad"

J: "She won't be mad"

R: "Let's just pretend she's gonna be mad"

J: "Alright"

They walked to the car.

J: "Do you have my keys?"

R: "Why would I have your keys?"

J: "I don't have them so, I thought you might......"

R: "I don't have them!"

Jess looked through the window.

J: "Damnit, I left them in the car"

R: "Are the doors locked?"

Jess shrugged. They checked the doors. Of course they were all locked.

R: "What are we gonna do now? I have to get home"

J: "I know"

R: "And it's cold"

Jess wanted to take his jacket off.

R: "I don't need your jacket"

J: "I thought you said it's cold"

R: "That's what I said yes, I didn't say: Jess gimme your jacket"

J: "I was just trying to be nice"

R: "And I just don't need your jacket"

J: "Are you mad at me now?"

R: "I'm not mad, I just wanna go home"

J: "And that's gonna be a problem when we can't get in the car"

R: "And whose fault is that?"

J: "So, you are mad at me?"

R: "Did you bring your cell phone?"

Jess searched through his pockets and looked through the window again.

J: "I brought my cell phone, but I don't think we can reach it"

R: "Jess......."

J: "I left it in the car, 'cause we were going to the movies. They don't allow cell phones there"

R: "Since when do you care about what's allowed and what's not?"

J: "I don't, but this conversation is going the wrong way, the problem is that we can't get in the car and I think we should go back to the cinema, maybe we can call there"

Rory nodded. They walked back. Jess tried to open the door.

J: "It's locked"

R: "It can't be locked. The lights are still on"

J: "Maybe it's one of those doors you can only open from the inside"

R: "Doors that only open from the inside...........are you sure you're alright?"

J: "I'm just trying to find an explanation"

R: "Let's go back to the car"

J: "Why?"

R: "Why not?"

J: "cos we can't get in it"

Before Rory could respond, the door behind Jess opened. He wanted to give Rory his famous 'see I was right, the door only opens from the inside' look (use your imagination, please), when he realized who had opened the door. It was Dean. Shearen was walking next to him.

D: "Rory"

R: "Oh, hi Dean" she tried to sound like she didn't care.

D: "Are you guys going home?"

J: "I left my keys in the car, so that's gonna be a problem"

Dean ignored Jess.

D: "I can give you a ride"

Rory looked at Jess.

D: "Don't expect me to give him a ride too"

R: "What?!"

D: "I'll give you a ride home"

R: "You're only gonna give me a ride home, you're just gonna leave Jess here?"

D: "Yeah"

R: "I'll walk"

J: "Just go with him Rory, it's cold"

R: "I'll walk" she repeated.

J: "Rory....."

R: "Don't try to talk me out of this, if he's gonna act this ridiculous there's no way I wanna be in a car with him and his..........friend"

D: "Come on, Rory"

R: "Did you bring your cell phone?"

D: "No, I........"

R: "So you're not only acting ridiculous, you're also stupid"

J: "Calm down, Rory"

R: "You're right, I'm sorry. No wait, I'm not"

D: "I'll call your mom when I get home"

R: "You don't have to call my mom"

D: "Just come with us to the car"

R: "Only when Jess can come too"

D: "Well, he can't"

R: "Aright, conversation over. I'll talk to you later"

She grabbed Jess' arm and they walked away.
