[Rory is standing in front of Dean's house. She pauses a moment before walking up to the door and knocking. A girl answers the door.]
CLARA: Hi.
RORY: Oh, hi. How are you today?
CLARA: Fine.
RORY: Good, good.
CLARA: Are you here to see my brother?
RORY: Oh, no. No. Not at all. I'm, um, with . . the Girl Scouts.
CLARA: I'm gonna be a Girl Scout someday. I'm a brownie now.
RORY Oh, well good, that's an excellent stepping stone.
CLARA: Where's your uniform?
RORY Oh we're not doing uniforms anymore. You know, we're trying to blend in, relate better to the average person. It was a very successful strategy for the Hari Krishnas, so. . .
CLARA: You look like someone.
RORY I do?
CLARA: You're the girl in the pictures.
RORY: What pictures?
CLARA: The ones Dean has in his room.
RORY Dean has pictures in his room?
CLARA: There's a funny one of you sticking out your tongue. He had a lot.
RORY Wait, wait, has or had?
CLARA: What?
RORY You went from has to had, that's a big difference.
CLARA: It is?
RORY Yeah. What's your name?
CLARA: Clara.
RORY You're a pretty girl, Clara.
CLARA: Thanks.
RORY Now was it has or had?
CLARA: I don't know.
RORY You do know Clara. Had is past tense. Has is present. Now think.
CLARA: I'm trying.
RORY Can you go to his room now?
CLARA: He doesn't like me in his room.
RORY Sneak in, he'll never no.
(Clara starts to cry.)
RORY Oh, no no no, Clara, don't cry. Oh, I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm a nice person. I'm a Girl Scout.
(Rory hears Dean's voice inside the house)
DEAN: Clara?
RORY Bye!
(Rory runs away from the house. Dean comes to the door where Clara is crying.)
DEAN: What's the matter?
CLARA: She sacred me.
DEAN: Who?
CLARA: The Girl Scout.
(Dean looks down the street and sees Rory running away.)
[A town meeting is held and they're discussing about the troubadours that were in Stars Hollow]
TAYLOR He may not now, but he will. This troubadour act is a money making scheme. Why else would he be doing it?
RORY: Because sometimes you have something you need to say but you can't because the words won't come out or you get scared or you feel stupid, so if you could write a song and sing it then you could say what you need to say and it would be beautiful and people would listen and you wouldn't make a complete idiot out of yourself, but all of us can't be songwriters so some of us will never be able to say what we're thinking or what we want other people to know that we're thinking so we'll never get the chance to make things right again ever. (Brief pause. She puts her hand on Troubadour 2's shoulder.) So give this guy a license. (Applause)
LORELAI: Well, I liked that little speech.
CLARA (whispers to Dean): That's the Girl Scout.
[Rory's irritated with Tristan and starts to walk away from him when she sees Dean in the parking lot]
RORY:Dean? (Walks towards him) Dean. What are you doing here?
DEAN: I'm leaving.
RORY Don't go.
DEAN: I shouldn't have come.
RORY No wait.
DEAN: I feel like an idiot.
RORY Why?
DEAN: 'Cause I come all the way out here and I see you with him. That's just great.
RORY No, Tristan was just . . .
DEAN: I don't care.
RORY No listen.
DEAN: He's got your books Rory.
RORY But he took them and wouldn't give them back. Please just tell me why you're here.
DEAN: I don't even know.
RORY Yes you do.
DEAN: 'Cause I thought you . . Forget it.
RORY No say it.
DEAN: I thought you were trying to talk to me.
RORY Oh.
DEAN: I mean, you came to my house.
RORY That wasn't me.
DEAN: It was you.
RORY It must've been someone that looked like me.
DEAN: My sister recognized you from the pictures in my box.
RORY In what box?
DEAN: The box of stuff I have of us. Pictures and letters and everything from you.
RORY You have a Rory box?
DEAN: And what was going on at the town meeting, all that stuff about writing a song?
RORY I don't know what I was talking about.
DEAN: That had nothing to do with me? Well I must have imagined it all then. Your boyfriend's waiting.
RORY He's not my boyfriend. I hate him.
DEAN: Whatever.
RORY Dean.
DEAN: What.
RORY Stop.
DEAN: Why.
RORY Because I love you, you idiot.
(Dean walks over to her and they kiss.
