Gilmore Girls2000

Dean:
So, how are you liking Moby Dick?

Rory:
Oh, it's really good.

Dean:
Yeah?

Rory:
Yeah, it's my first Melville.

Dean:
Cool.

Rory:
I mean, I know it's kind of clich? to pick Moby Dick as your first Melville but... Hey, how did you know I was reading Moby Dick?

Dean:
Uh, well, I've been watching you.

Rory:
Watching me?

Dean:
I mean, not in a creepy, like, "I'm watching you" sort of way. I just - I've noticed you.

Rory:
Me?

Dean:
Yeah.

Rory:
When?

Dean:
Every day. After school you come out and you sit under that tree there and you read. Last week it was Madame Bovary. This week it's Moby Dick.

Rory:
But why would you...

Dean:
Because you're nice to look at, and because you've got unbelievable concentration.

Rory:
What?

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 before in my entire life. I have to meet that girl."

Rory:
Maybe I just didn't look up because I'm unbelievably self-centered.

Dean:
Maybe, but I doubt it.
