By the way, I can't believe this is the last show until the fall. I'm sad. ["I didn't want it to end." -- Wing Chun]
Chilton. Philllipppe stands by the wall until Rory walks past. He says he's tired of the game, and asks whether she's meeting him at the concert. Rory tells him that she hopes he has a good time with his empty seat. Philllipppe asks what she's so mad about. She says that he's been telling everyone that they're going to the concert together when they aren't, and now Paris and the girls are mad at her. Philllipppe says that the damage has been done, so they might as well go to the concert together. Rory says that she'll never, ever, ever go anywhere with him. Philllipppe says that the tickets cost him a fortune. Rory corrects him, saying that the tickets cost his daddy a fortune. Philllipppe says that he doesn't even know anyone else that's into "this stupid guy." Rory yells that PJ Harvey is a girl. She starts to walk away, and Philllipppe grabs the books out of her hands, saying that she can't have them back unless she agrees to go to the concert with him. She says he's pathetic and that he can just have the books.
Rory walks away. Philllipppe follows. She stops when she sees CuteDean standing in the lot staring at her. CuteDean sees Philllipppe standing behind Rory, holding her books. Rory doesn't see what CuteDean sees. He starts to get back into his truck as Rory runs toward him and asks what he's doing there. He says he's leaving. She asks him not to go. He says he shouldn't have come. She asks him to wait and slams his door shut. He says he feels like an idiot; he drove all the way there, only to see her with Philllipppe. Rory starts to explain, but CuteDean points out that Philllipppe has her books. Rory says that he took them and wouldn't give them back. Philllipppe just stands in the background watching, holding the books. Rory asks why CuteDean is there. He says he doesn't know. She says he does. He says he thought she was trying to talk to him, and that she came to his house. Rory's all, "It wasn't me." He says it was her and that his sister recognized her from the pictures in his box. Rory asks what box he's talking about. He says he has a box of their pictures and letters and things. Rory is deeply touched that CuteDean owns a "Rory Box." CuteDean asks what her little speech at the meeting was about. Rory says she doesn't know what she was talking about. CuteDean asks whether that had anything to do with him. Rory doesn't say anything. CuteDean says that he must have imagined it all. Rory still doesn't say anything. CuteDean says that Rory's boyfriend is waiting, and starts walking to the truck. Rory says that Philllipppe isn't her boyfriend and that she hates him. She asks CuteDean to stay. He asks why. "Because I love you, you idiot!" Rory shouts. PJ Harvey starts blaring in the background as CuteDean turns around. Man, fuck The Princess Bride because this is the best kiss ever recorded. CuteDean just reaches Rory in like, three steps, and he grabs her by the chin and starts kissing her while he holds the back of her neck and she melts into him and Philllipppe's still standing back there like a chump and he puts Rory's books down while they kiss and Molly Ringwald drives by with Jake Ryan in his Porsche and Mary Stuart Masterson kisses Eric Stoltz as she wears his earrings and looks good in his future and the music is swelling and I'm bawling my eyes out and I'm so glad CuteDean is back. For all of you CuteDean haters out there: I told you so. I stood by my man. Man, I think these two kids are dating in real life. They have to be with that kind of kissing. They touch foreheads and smile at each other. Philllipppe walks away.
