--She IS Interested!
-this includes the funny bus conversation, the funny grocery store conversation, and of course, the she IS intested conversation!!
DEAN: Hey.
RORY: Aah! Morning.
DEAN: Good book?
RORY: I don't know yet.
DEAN: I saw you standing in line so I thought I'd say hello. (pause) Hello?
RORY: Hello.
DEAN: Oh, hey, uh, thanks for helping me get the job at the store. I mean it's not a career or anything but it's got me solvent.
RORY: Solvent's good.
DEAN: Yeah, uh, are you always this serious?
RORY: No.
DEAN: So, uh, how long does it take you to get to school?
RORY: Um...forty minutes if the bus driver's focused but longer if he's trying to win something on the radio. Hey, this bus is going to Hartford!
DEAN: Yeah, I know.
RORY: But you go to school here. You have to get off the bus! (calls to driver) Hey, he has to get off the bus!
DEAN: Wait. You're forgetting something.
(Bus stops.)
DEAN: Buses make stops. Good-bye Lorelai Gilmore.
(Dean gets off the bus.)
Later at the grocery store....
CASHIER: Is this all you want, honey? A head of lettuce and a mouse trap?
RORY: That should do it.
DEAN: That's a couple of must-need items there.
CASHIER: $2.27.
RORY: I only have a dollar.
DEAN: I could loan you the rest.
RORY: Uh, no, I'll just take the lettuce.
DEAN: Perfect. You could use half of it for a salad then use the other half to clobber the mouse with.
(Rory starts to leave.)
DEAN: Paper or plastic?
RORY: I'm fine.
(She leaves the store.)
still later...
DEAN: Hey.
RORY: Jeez, you scared me.
DEAN: Yeah, uh, look. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
RORY: For what?
DEAN: Well I've been kind of bugging you lately. Uh, I thought -- I don't know -- I thought that maybe you liked me. But it's obvious that you're not interested so I just wanted to say that I get it and I'm not gonna bother you anymore.
(Dean starts to leave. Rory gets up and follows him.)
RORY: Wait! I AM interested.
DEAN: You are?
RORY: Yes. I gotta go.
