Jess and Paris are discussing literature. Arguing, really. Rory just eats quietly. How much food does that kitchen have? And why hasn't she called Dean yet? What is wrong with that girl? ["Bad liar, and stupid from the Jess." -- Wing Chun] Paris stabs Jess in the heart by saying she has one word for Jack Kerouac: "Edit." ["Damn right." -- Wing Chun] Jess says the Beats believed in shocking people and stirring things up. Paris says they believed in drugs, booze, and petty crime. Rory says they exposed her to a world she wouldn't have known otherwise. I can't believe Paris doesn't make a crack about her own parents here. Paris is instantly moist when she finds out that Jess has read some Jane Austen. Jess says he thinks Austen would have liked Bukowski. Paris asks Jess what he's doing with the condiments. He's making a "Salt and Pepper dip" for the French fries. Rory chimes in that it's the only way to eat them: "It's fast-food gospel." To ensure a quick heart attack. Paris tries and loves it. The phone rings, and Jess asks Paris if she likes hot sauce. "I don't know," she says. "Should I?"
