Quote from Paris in There's the Rub
Paris: It's my fault. Dean: What? Paris: It's my fault that Jess was here. I saw him in the diner the day I came to Stars Hollow and I thought he was cute, and since I'm not great at the whole "batting the eyelashes, look at my belly shirt" kind of thing I asked Rory to help me. I thought if she could maybe get him over here, we'd have a chance to talk and... I don't know. It seems totally stupid now and it obviously didn't work, shock, but that's why he was here. [sighs] Thanks for trying to cover for me. Rory: That's okay. Paris: Anyway, I should get going. I'm probably gonna break out in some sort of rash any second now.
