Eight O'Clock at the Oasis

RORY: Dean, please have your pager with you, please, come on. Dean, come on! Damn you and your Unabomber tendencies! Aw man! [runs away from the house]

CUT TO SIDEWALK

[Rory, soaked from the sprinklers, runs down the street and bumps into Jess]

JESS: Whoa, whoa, slow down.

RORY: Get out of my way.

JESS: I like the new look. Its very Blue Crush.

RORY: Hilarious.

JESS: Whats the matter?

RORY: Nothing.

JESS: Youre walking pretty fast for nothing.

RORY: Well, our president said exercise and I am very patriotic.

JESS: And completely soaked.

RORY: Where is everyone?

JESS: Who are you looking for?

RORY: No one.

JESS: Rory, stop. Whats the matter other than the fact that youre obviously out of towels.

RORY: This guy moved in across the way from us and we said wed water his lawn and the grass can only be watered in ten minute increments, otherwise the lawn drowns, and the thing is stuck and it wont turn off and I have to find someone, Luke or Taylor or . . .[Jess starts walking away] Where are you going? Jess!

CUT TO DWIGHTS FRONT YARD

[Rory follows Jess up the pathway to the spigot]

RORY: You dont have to do this. I didnt ask you to do this. I can just find someone else to do it. [Jess turns off the sprinkler] Aw, you made it look so easy.

JESS: Yeah, it was loose. You just had to press down and give it a good twist, thats all.

RORY: Well, thank you.

JESS: Youre welcome. So things are good?

RORY: Oh, yeah, really good.

JESS: School?

RORY: Good.

JESS: Still gonna do the Harvard thing?

RORY: Yeah.

JESS: Good.

RORY: Yeah, good. So. . .[pager goes off] My pager.

JESS: Yeah, I figured.

[Rory checks the pager, then puts it away]

JESS: Who is it?

RORY: Its, uh, Dean. I paged him earlier to come over and help me and he just got the message, so hes. . .

JESS: Coming over to help.

RORY: Yeah.

JESS: Okay.

[Jess turns the sprinkler back on and walks away]
