What A Gilmore Life

Chapter 3
ÒBy the way...Ó

(Rory walks over to the door, but Paris wasnÕt there, Dean was.)

DEAN: Rory, hey.

(He leans over to kiss Rory, but she pulls away)

RORY: You have to leave, Paris is coming over.

DEAN: But...

RORY: I'm sorry, I'll talk slower.

DEAN: What the...

RORY: Oh, and by the way, I'm breaking up with you.

DEAN: Excuse me...

(Rory slams the door, and walks over to sit on the couch with Lorelai, who had been listening closely)

LORELAI: How did that feel?

RORY: Great!

LORELAI: Good, 'cause I never really liked him.

RORY: Really?

LORELAI: Yeah, I always thought that he was too tall for your well-being.

RORY: Why?

LORELAI: Well, what if he grows up too be a giant, and he, like, squishes you.

RORY: You know what? For once, I agree with you.

LORELAI: Good.

RORY: Good.

(long pause)

LORELAI: So why did you break up with him?

RORY: He was too tall for my well-being.

LORELAI: What about Je-

(doorbell cuts her off)

RORY: I better get, you know how Paris gets.

LORELAI: Yeah.

(Rory opens the door. Paris storms strait toward Rory's bedroom.)

LORELAI: Paris.

RORY: Paris. (she sighs and walks into her room)

PARIS: Now, your WPM is improving, but it still needs work. Have you written any notecards, yet?

RORY: No, I just found out about the debate.

PARIS: Then we've got a lot more work to do then I thought.

RORY: Great. (Rory said sarcasticly)

PARIS: Look if you want to, you can go hang out with your boyfriend, and I'll write you a notecard. Then you can just show up as prepared as possible.

RORY: Really?

PARIS: No. Are you kidding? Plus, you don't exactly have a boyfriend, unless that thing outside was a skit.

RORY: Oh, you saw?

PARIS: Yeah, I was walking up your driveway when it happened. By the way, Dean walked away very angry.

RORY: Good.

PARIS: So there must of been a good reason you broke up with him...

RORY: Yeah, there was. I (she paused wondering if she should tell the truth) I thought he was too tall. (she didn't tell the truth)

PARIS: Fair enough. And now that we've let our fealings out, can we work?

RORY: Yeah. (she stares out the window)

PARIS: Okay.
