You're like Ruth Gordon just standing there with a tannis root. Make a noise. </div> <div> DEAN: <I>Rosemary's Baby</I> </div> <div> RORY: Yeah. </div> <div> DEAN: Well that's a great movie. You've got good taste. (silence) Are you moving? </div> <div> RORY: No, just my books are. </div> <div> DEAN: My family just moved here from Chicago. </div> <div> RORY: Chicago. Windy. Oprah. </div> <div> DEAN: Yeah. Yeah, that's the place. I'm Dean. </div> <div> RORY: Hi. (silence) Oh, Rory. Me. That's -- that's me. </div> <div> DEAN: Rory. </div> <div> RORY: Well, Lorelai technically. </div> <div> DEAN: Lorelai. I like that. </div> <div> RORY: It's my mother's name too. She named me after herself. She was lying in the hospital thinking about how men name boys after themselves all the time, you know, so why couldn't women. She says her feminism just kind of took over. Though personally I think a lot of Demerol also went into that decision. I never talk this much. </div> <div> DEAN: Well I'd better go. </div> <div> RORY: Oh, sure. </div> <div> DEAN: I have to go look for a job. </div> <div> RORY: OK, good. </div> <div> (Dean starts to leave.) </div> <div> RORY: You should check with Miss Patty. </div> <div> DEAN: What? </div> <div> RORY: About the job. You should check with Miss Patty. She teaches dance. She was actually on Broadway once. </div> <div> DEAN: I -- I don't really dance much. </div> <div> RORY: No, no, she just kind of knows everything that's going on in town. She'll know if someone's looking. </div> <div> DEAN: Oh, great, uh, thanks. Hey, what are you doing now? </div> <div> RORY: Nothing...much. I should throw this away at some point. </div> <div> DEAN: Well maybe you could show me where this Miss Patty's place is. </div> <div> RORY: Yeah, I guess so. I really don't have anything important to -- Let's go. </div> <div> (They walk out of the school and down the street. Dean carries Rory's box of books for her.) </div> <div> DEAN: So have you lived here all your life? </div> <div> RORY: Yes. Well, pretty much. I was actually born in Hartford. </div> <div> DEAN: That's not far. </div> <div> RORY: Thirty minutes with no traffic. </div> <div> DEAN: Really? </div> <div> RORY: I timed it. </div> <div> DEAN: OK, then. </div> <div> RORY: So do you like cake? </div> <div> DEAN: What? </div> <div> RORY: They make really good cakes here. They're very...round. </div> <div> DEAN: OK I'll remember that. </div> <div> RORY: Good. Make a note. You wouldn't want to forget where the round cakes are. </div> <div> DEAN: So how are you liking <I>Moby Dick</I>? </div> <div> RORY: Oh it's really good. </div> <div> DEAN: Yeah? </div> <div> RORY: Yeah, it's my first Melville. </div> <div> DEAN: Cool. </div> <div> RORY: I mean, I know it's kind of cliché to pick <I>Moby Dick</I> as your first Melville but -- hey how did you know I was reading <I>Moby Dick</I>? </div> <div> DEAN: Uh, well, I've been watching you. </div> <div> RORY: Watching me? </div> <div> DEAN: I mean, not in a creepy, like "I'm watching you" sort of way. I just -- I've noticed you. </div> <div> RORY: Me? </div> <div> DEAN: Yeah. </div> <div> RORY: When? </div> <div> DEAN: Every day. After school you come out and you sit under that tree there and you read. Last week it was <I>Madame Bovary</I>. This week it's <I>Moby Dick</I>. </div> <div> RORY: But why would you -- </div> <div> DEAN: Because you're nice to look at, and because you've got unbelievable concentration. </div> <div> RORY: What? </div> <div> DEAN: Last Friday these two guys were tossing around a ball and one guy nailed the other right in the face. I mean, it was a mess, blood everywhere, the nurse came out, the place was in chaos, his girlfriend was all freaking out, and you just sat there and read. I mean, you never even looked up. I thought, " I have never seen anyone read so intensely in my entire life. I have to meet that girl." </div> <div> RORY: Maybe I just didn't look up because I'm unbelievably self-centered. </div> <div> DEAN: Maybe, but I doubt it. </div> <div> (They smile at each other.) </div> <div> RORY: SO did I ask if you like cake? </div> <div> DEAN: Yeah, you did. </div> <div> RORY: Oh.
