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.
(Pilot, 1x01)
no, it was totally in that “i’m watching you” sort of way. don’t lie.
