[After Jess has finished cleaning the gutters on the roof, Lorelai walks out assuming he took Rory's bracelet.]
You leaving?
Yeah, all done.
You weren’t gonna come get your money?
Ah, I figured I’d get it eventually. It’s not like I don’t know where you guys live.
(chuckles) That’s true. You certainly do know where we live. Well here. (hands him the money he made for cleaning the gutters.) After all, you earned it.
Thanks.
You took it, didn’t you?
Excuse me?
Rory’s bracelet; you had it the whole time.
No idea what you’re talking about.
How’d you get it?
I didn’t get anything.
What, did you break into our house, you got all dressed in black and pulled a Mission: Impossible?
Actually, I came down the chimney and pulled a Santa Claus.
Very funny.
Thought a ridiculous accusation deserved a ridiculous response.
So it’s just a great big ol’ coincidence that I catch you coming out of Rory’s room a half an hour before she mysteriously finds the bracelet under her bed?
Guess so.
Why would you do this?
I gotta go.
I mean, I know you hate the world, but I thought you liked Rory.
I didn't do anything.
Bull.
(scoffs) Whatever.
Oh, don’t "whatever" me, you little jerk! You let Rory run around completely panicked, thinking she lost her boyfriend’s bracelet. She was miserable, do you understand that?!
I didn't take it!
I’m sure you’re jealous of Dean because he’s great and Rory’s madly in love with him, but you taking the bracelet didn’t hurt Dean, it hurt Rory. That bracelet is the most precious thing she owns. She never takes it off. It means everything to her, and you stealing it was unbelievably cruel!
The "most precious thing she owns"?
Yes!
If it’s the "most precious thing she owns", why did it take her TWO WEEKS to figure out it was gone, huh?! (Lorelai is dumbfounded) You might wanna re-evaluate how madly in love she is. I wouldn’t start calling him "son" yet.
Get outta here!
You read my mind. (walks off)
