Rory: I wish you two could start over.
Dean: Why?
Rory: He lives here. We run into him. He goes to your school. I just think it would be easier.
Dean: You know, I'm fine with the whole hating him thing.
Rory: I think it's a waste of energy.
Dean: I'll have a PowerBar.

Rory: Please don't walk away like that.
Dean: Sorry, I'd do a silly walk, but I'm not feeling very John Cleese now.

Dean: But now's your chance, there's no one else around.
Jess: Go home. Cool off.
Dean: Come on, make one of your Boy Scout references, or a good Farmer John joke. I got my Doose's Market apron with me, you want me to put it on, give you a little inspiration? I don't get it, what happened, you suddenly like me now?
Jess: Oh yeah, I was just about to invite you camping.
Dean: Good, okay, now we're getting somewhere.
Jess: I'm not gonna fight you, Dean.
Dean: Why?
Jess: 'Cause if I fight you, Rory's gonna think it's my fault, so just forget it, okay? Just forget it. Go home. Let it rest.
Dean: So Rory's got a nice little hold on you now, huh?
Jess: Geez.
Dean: Don't do that. How does it feel?
Jess: It feels like I'm with Rory and you're not.
Dean: You know, when all this happened with you and me and Rory, I figured I'd just stay out of everyone's way, that that would be easiest. But now, I'm looking at you and I'm thinking, I'm gonna run from him? The Glad Man. This is my town, I'm not hiding. And I don't have be remotely calm around you anymore, and I like that feeling. I like it a lot. Happy Thanksgiving, Jess.

Dean: Hey, you wanna get a cup of coffee?
Rory: Coffee?
Dean: Maybe talk a little? Of course, if you prefer, we can both just head over to Weston's and randomly bump into each other.
Rory: No, that's okay. I can get coffee.

Rory: How's school?
Dean: Not bad. I've got McKellan for History.
Rory: Oh, has he done his Napoleon having dinner with Charlemagne bit yet?
Dean: Catherine the Great shows up for dessert.
Rory: Oh, wow, he's revised it. Good for him.
Dean: He's a unique man, but a decent teacher.

Dean: Aren't you gonna read it back?
Jess: Nope.
Dean: Okay, but these men were hired by Taylor, which means if they aren't satisfied with their orders, they will send them back. And they will continue to send them back until they are happy, which means you could be making this order until you die.
Jess: "Six burgers, three with cheese – two cheddar, one Swiss."
Dean: Slower, please. I'm checking them off as we go.
Jess: "Two plain burgers, one chili with cheese and onion on the side."

Dean: I mean, it's weird, but Lindsay's amazing and I asked and she said yes, so... I'm getting married. Say something.
Rory: Why?
Dean: What?
Rory: No, I don't mean why, I mean, why now?
Dean: Why not now?
Rory: Well, you're eighteen, first of all.
Dean: So?
Rory: So, you're young. I mean, you haven't even gone to college yet. Oh my God, you are still going to college, aren't you?
Dean: Yes, Rory, I'm still going to college.
Rory: Well, how...
Dean: Lindsay's gonna go with me.
Rory: But Dean, you're going to be studying and taking classes, you need to focus on that. I mean, you don't even know what you wanna do yet. And you guys haven't even been going out for that long. I mean, why don't you just date for awhile? Dating's fun.
Dean: Thank you.
Rory: For what?
Dean: For your deep heartfelt congratulations.

Dean: It's good news, you can't just be happy for me?
Rory: I can. I am. I just...
Dean: You know what, I'm sorry if you have a crappy relationship with Jess.
Rory: Hey, that has...
Dean: And I'm sorry if he treats you like dirt and everyone hates him, but that was your choice. I have a great girlfriend and I am really happy, and when you dumped me for that jackass, I thought I'd never be happy again.
Rory: Jess does not treat me like dirt.
Dean: Whatever. I just wanted you to hear it from me before it got out. Now you know, so... have a nice life.
Rory: Jess does not treat me like dirt!

Dean: What are you doing here?
Rory: I'm meeting my mom here. We're playing hooky.
Dean: The flower's a private joke for her?
Rory: You know me well.
Dean: Yeah, I do. So, you okay and all?
Rory: Yeah. Oh, that. I'm fine now. A little nervous breakdown can really work wonders for a girl. I didn't mean to lay all that on you.
Dean: That's what shoulders are for.
Rory: You've got a heck of an understanding shoulder.

Rory: Why are you so mad?
Dean: I thought you were back with him or something.
Rory: No, I'm not back with him.
Dean: I thought you were.
Rory: Well, I'm not. But even if I was back with him, why would it bother you so much?
Dean: I don't like him. And I don't want you with him.
Rory: Right. Because he doesn't treat me right, right?
Dean: Right.
Rory: And you wouldn't want me to be with someone who doesn't treat me right, because you're my friend, right?
Dean: Right. I'm your friend. [they lean in to kiss]
Tom: Dean! How we doing with those doors?
Dean: We're doing fine, Tom.
