Quotes 

• 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 cliché 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.
