Complicated



Lorelai: and who's that for?
Luke: Jess

//Uh Huh//

LORELAI: Jess?
LUKE: Jess, my nephew.

//Life's like this//

LUKE: Well, apparently he's been getting into some trouble and Liz is afraid he's heading for something bad

//Uh Huh//

LORELAI: Right. So what kind of trouble has he gotten into?
LUKE: Ah, just kid stuff, you know, staying out late, getting rowdy. I don't know exactly.

//Uh Huh//

LORELAI: And how old is he?
LUKE: Seventeen.

//That's the way it is//

LORELAI: Hey, how does Jess feel about this?
LUKE: I don't know.
LORELAI: You haven't talked to him about it?
LUKE: No.
LORELAI: Don't you think you should?
LUKE: Why? He doesn't have a choice. His mom's a flake, he's coming here, end of story.

//Cause life's like this//

LUKE: Jess.
JESS: Luke.
LUKE: Okay, so uh��

//Uh Huh//


LUKE: Jess, come on.
JESS: Nope.
LUKE: What am I supposed to tell her?
JESS: Tell her I gotta take another crack at that closet. You know, I think I hung my Tool T-shirt next to my Metallica T-shirt and they don't really get along.
LUKE: You really want me to tell her that?
JESS: You think a different band combo would sell it more?


//Uh Huh//

JESS: Hey.
RORY: I'm Rory.
JESS: Yeah, I figured.
RORY: Nice to meet you.


//That's the way it is//

LORELAI: Oh, your nephew's coming to visit.
LUKE: No, he's coming to stay.


//Chill out
What you yellin for?//

JESS: Look, what exactly do you want from me? You bring me here to this place, you put me in a school that says the Pledge of Allegiance in six different languages, two of which I've never heard of before. You take me away from my home, my friends, and now you want what from me?
LUKE: I'm trying to help you.
JESS: Well, stop trying.

//Lay back
It's all been done before//

LORELAI: Ugh, Jess, let me give you a little advice. The whole 'my parents don't get me' thing, I've been there.
JESS: You have, huh?
LORELAI: Yes, I have. I've also done the 'chip on my shoulder' bit. Ooh, and the surly, sarcastic, 'the world can bite my ass' bit, and let me tell you, I mastered them all, in heels, yet. And everything you're feeling might be totally justified, maybe you are getting screwed.

//And if you could only let it be//

JESS: You know, you don't know anything about me, or my life, or my mom, or Luke, so why don't you Doctor Laura someone else.

//You will see//

RORY: You stole my book.
JESS: Nope, borrowed it.
RORY: Okay, that's not called a trick, that's called a felony.
JESS: I just wanted to put some notes in the margins for you.
RORY: What? You've read this before.
JESS: About forty times.
RORY: I thought you said you didn't read much.
JESS: Well, what is much? Goodnight Rory.
RORY: Goodnight Dodger.


//I like you the way you are//

JESS: You know, Ernest only has lovely things to say about you.
RORY: Why are you only nice to me?
JESS: Excuse me?
RORY: An hour ago you were totally screwing with Dean and now you''re totally nice to me.
JESS: You see, it''s the screwing with Dean - that''s an important step to getting here so that I can be nice to you.


//When we're drivin in your car//

JESS: Admit it, it''s always better in a cone.
RORY: It''s always better in a cone.
JESS: Putting ice cream in a dish, eating it with a spoon?
RORY: What is wrong with people?

//And you're talkin to me one-on-one//

JESS: Hey, I didn't mean to freak you out. I''m sorry. I''m sure you''ll do it. You will, I promise. I''ll help you practice, okay? Tomorrow, you''ll stand in the middle of the street and I will drive straight at you screaming in a foreign language.
RORY: Well, you''re gonna have to learn a foreign language first.
JESS: Well, it''s lucky I''ve got me a tutor, isn''t it?

//But you become
Somebody else//

JESS: What are you sleeping with him or something?

//Round everyone else//

LORELAI: Excuse me?
JESS: I don't know. The whole starry eyed 'you're so much better off, just give it a chance' speech. You're either really naive, or you're getting some.

//Watchin your back
Like you can't relax//

LUKE: Hey. How was school?
JESS: Great.
LUKE: You learn anything good?
JESS: Oh yeah, tons of things. I've got gold stars plastered all over my forehead.

//You tryin to be cool//

RORY: You can do anything you wanted, you can be anything you wanted.
JESS: Rory.
RORY: I. . .is it like a cool thing?
JESS: I could care less about being cool.
RORY: Well, inform me, please.
JESS: I''m never going to college, why waste the time in high school?


//You look like a fool to me//

RORY: Do not give me that whole ''I''m so misunderstood, Kurt Cobainy'' thing. You are way stronger than that and I don''t even wanna hear it.

//Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?//

RORY: And now Luke's a pariah and it's all because of you! What a shock, you don't care about any of this.
JESS: I didn't say that.
RORY: Go. I'm tired of talking to you.
JESS: Fine.

//I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated//

LUKE: Inanimate objects don't usually get better. Did you fix this?
JESS: Please.
LUKE: Jess.
JESS: I have no idea what you're babbling about. I don't fix things.
LUKE: But yesterday��
JESS: I got school.


//Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get//

RORY: I mean, school's out and you don't like it here, so why don't you just go home?
JESS: My mom didn't want me to.
RORY: I don't believe that.
JESS: That's your right, I guess.
RORY: Did Luke say she didn't want you to?
JESS: Luke told me it was his idea that I should stay. It wasn't his idea.

//And you turnin into//

JESS: So just because she's your mom or Luke's friend doesn't mean that I automatically have to get along with her.
RORY: Jess, my mother is a great person. She''s also my best friend in the world, so if you care about me at all, you will take that into consideration and you will be mildly polite to her.
JESS: What makes you think I care about you?

//Honestly, you promised me//

RORY: I don''t mean care care, like care. I mean if you like me at all. . . not like like. I just meant that if. . . if you think of me remotely as the sort of person that you could occasionally stand to talk to then you will try to get along with my mom, that''s all.
JESS: Okay.
RORY: Okay?

I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no//

JESS: I can''t guarantee that it''ll work, but I''ll try.
RORY: Thank you.


//You come over unannounced//

JESS: Delivery.
RORY: What are you doing here?

//Dressed up like you're somethin else//

JESS: Well, Luke figured since you''re along tonight that maybe you wouldn''t have any food in the house, so he sent over a care package.

//Where you are ain't where it's at you see
You're makin me//

JESS: Dean''s on his way over and Rory doesn''t want him to find me here.
PARIS: Why?
JESS: Yeah, why?
RORY: You know why.
JESS: We''re just eating dinner.
RORY: Jess, I''m asking you as a friend, just please leave now.
JESS: You really want me to go?
RORY: I really wanna avoid a fight with Dean.
JESS: Okay, I''m going.
RORY: Thank you.


//Laugh out
When you strike a pose//

LUKE: Jess, you were supposed to be down here. . . .what the hell is that?
JESS: What?
LUKE: That.
JESS: That is a shirt.
LUKE: Change.
JESS: What?
LUKE: Go upstairs and change your shirt.


//Take off
All your preppy clothes//

LUKE: What do you think you're doing?
JESS: Working.
LUKE: So you think this is funny, huh?
JESS: I'm sorry. I thought this was the uniform.
LUKE: Okay, you know what, that's fine. Have your little joke, you know. It doesn't bother me at all. You just go over there and clean off that table, okay? I'm ignoring you. You do not exist.
JESS: Okay.
LUKE: That's it, get upstairs and change.

//You know
You're not foolin anyone//

RORY: I don''t think Luke knew anything about the food last night.
JESS: That''ll be twelve-fifty.
RORY: Which means you lied about why you came over.
JESS: I don''t have any quarters. I''m gonna have to give you nickels.
RORY: Now why would you lie about something like that?
JESS: Here''s your change. Come again soon.
RORY: You wanted to come over.
JESS: I have to get back to work.
RORY: You''re squirming. I''ve never seen you squirm. It''s entertaining.
JESS: Oh yeah?

//When you become
Somebody else
Round everyone else//

RORY: How many times do I have to tell you -- .
LORELAI: That I don''t know the real Jess?
RORY: You don''t.
LORELAI: Well, fine, I don''t know him, but I''m not too fond of his stand in.
RORY: People are different once you get to know them.

//Watchin your back
Like you can't relax//

LORELAI: So you and Jess aren''t friends?
RORY: Well, yeah, we''re friends.
LORELAI: Uh huh.
RORY: I mean, we''re not good friends but we''re friends. We''re friendly. But that doesn''t mean that we''re friends in the traditional Webster''s dictionary definition of friends.
LORELAI: Right.
RORY: Friendish might be a better term.
LORELAI: Okay, friendish. Got it.

//You tryin to be cool//

JESS: Dean?
RORY: My boyfriend.
JESS: Ah. He's still your boyfriend?
RORY: Okay, you can jump out now.

//You look like a fool to me//

RORY: Why were you fighting in the first place?
JESS: 'Cause Chuck Presby's a jerk.
RORY: You were fighting Chuck Presby?
JESS: Yeah.
RORY: Oh, he is a jerk.
JESS: This whole town is weird and full of jerks.

//Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?//

JESS: The person who buys the basket wins the company of the person who makes the basket for lunch. Basket, basket maker, guy who didn''t bring enough money.

//I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated//

RORY: You come over. You seem to have a very firm grasp of the English language. You put together several full sentences, even using a couple of words that contain two or more syllables, and then my mother appears and suddenly we need a thought bubble over your head to understand what you''re thinking. Can you tell me why that is?
JESS: The verbal thing comes and goes.

//Life's like this you//

JESS: Okay, I''m going. Look, man, I really was just dropping off some food, so don''t get all West Side Story on me, okay?

//You fall and you crawl//

DEAN: Yeah, hi. So Jess just dropped this off, huh?
RORY: Oh, well. . .
DEAN: Now I know you eat fast, but this is a lot of food to put away that quickly, even on your best day.
RORY: Okay, so he didn''t just drop it off but - .

//and you break and you take what you get//

LORELAI: Jess was driving your car and you got in an accident?
RORY: But I''m fine and he''s fine and the furry thing is fine. The car''s a little messed up, but there''s nothing for you to be worried about.
LORELAI: Where are you?
RORY: I''m in the hospital.

//And you turnin into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it//

LORELAI: She had nothing to do with Jess coming over. Believe me, she did not want him there.
DEAN: That''s what she told me. And Rory wouldn''t lie, right?
LORELAI: No, Rory wouldn''t lie.

//No no no//

Taylor: now for this next basket up for bid
Rory: ooh, that's mine

//(no no no)//

JESS: Ten dollars.
TAYLOR: Okay, I have ten dollars. Do I have fifteen?
JESS: Twenty.
TAYLOR: Twenty dollars, do I hear twenty-five?
DEAN: Thirty.

//No no//

TAYLOR: Okay, see, you boys don't seem to understand the way this thing works.
JESS: Forty dollars.
DEAN: Fifty dollars.
TAYLOR: Excuse me, have either of you noticed how tiny this thing is?

//(no no no)//

JESS: Seventy-five.
TAYLOR: Now we''re not talking cents gentlemen, we''re talking dollars remember.
LORELAI: Uh oh. Dean's hesitating.
DEAN: Eighty.

//No no//

TAYLOR: Eighty? Eighty dollars?
JESS: Ninety.
TAYLOR: Ninety dollars, is that correct?

//(no no no)//

TAYLOR: Okay, we've got ninety going once, ninety dollars going twice. . . sold to the nice young hoodlum in the back for ninety dollars.

//No no//

JESS: You going after him?
RORY: Not right now.
JESS: So then, shall we?
RORY: Fine, come on.


//Chill out
What you yellin for?//

RORY: So, what, no matter what I say, you''re just gonna choose to blame Jess?
LORELAI: Yes, I choose to blame Jess.
RORY: Just because you hate him?
LORELAI: That''s right! I''m sorry, but when my daughter comes home broken I get to hate the guy who broke her. That''s how it works. He''s gone, I win. You are wearing a cast and I get to hate him forever!

//Lay back
It's all been done before//

RORY: So you''re saying that Jess is no good?
LORELAI: I''ve known guys like Jess. He seems cool because he''s got this dangerous vibe and this problem with authority and he''s seen a lot of Sylvester Stallone movies.

//And if you could only let it be//

LORELAI: It''s. . .I don''t know. I''m just surprised that you''re hanging out with him, that''s all.
RORY: Why?
LORELAI: He doesn''t seem like the nicest kid.
RORY: Well, you don''t know him.
LORELAI: No, I guess not.

//You will see//

RORY: You''re just judging him by that one time that he came over here.
LORELAI: Which, by the way, was not a rousing success.
RORY: He had just moved here. He was mad at his mom. Trust me, he''s got a really good side to him. You''ll see it eventually.
LORELAI: Good, I can''t wait.
RORY: Mom.
LORELAI: No, well, I''m sorry. It''s. . I just, uh, I don''t know. From the things I''ve seen and the things I hear. . .


//Somebody else//

RORY: On the bridge, that''s where we''re gonna eat?
JESS: Yup.
RORY: Okay.
JESS: Yeah, I like this place.
RORY: Wow. A place in Stars Hollow you actually like. I''m stunned.

//Round everyone else//

JESS: You change your hair?
RORY: What?
JESS: Your hair looks different.
RORY: So, segue''s not your thing, huh?
JESS: Is it?
RORY: Well, um, no, I wear it like this a lot. Why?
JESS: Just looks different.

//Watchin your back//

LORELAI: Did you get lost?
JESS: No, I was looking at Rory''s books.
LORELAI: Uh huh.
JESS: I wanted to see if she had Franny and Zooey. She does.
LORELAI: Okay.
JESS: I was gonna get it for her if she didn''t.
LORELAI: That''s very nice of you.
JESS: Yeah. Okay, so I should probably get back to work.

//Like you can't relax//

RORY: I know, but things have been a little weird between us lately and. . .you couldn''t care less.
JESS: Oh, yes, I could.
RORY: I just think Dean will read something into this.
JESS: Should he?
RORY: No.

//You tryin to be cool//

JESS: God, you''re no fun when you''re tense. Are you sure you want me to go? ''Cause maybe this whole thing can be solved between me and Dean if we just sat down and had a little heart to heart. He can tell me his issues, I''ll tell him mine.
RORY: Jess!
JESS: I promise I''ll speak slowly.
RORY: Bye!
JESS: Okay, well, give him my best, would ya? Actually, I guess I could do that myself.

//You look like a fool to me//

JESS: I see you brought a little something, too. Is that ice cream? That''s so nice. A tiny little ice cream package just big enough for two. Hey, are you guys gonna feed each other ''cause that''s just so darn cute. Oops. You''re doing that towering over me thing. Huh. I tell you, you''ve really got that down. It helps that you''re twelve feet tall, but this Frankenstein scowl really adds to the whole -- .
RORY: Jess.


//Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?//

DEAN: You told me you were doing laundry tonight.
RORY: I was.
DEAN: And now you are here with Jess.

//I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated//

RORY: You know you''re smarter than most everybody at your school. It takes you like five minutes to finish a book. You read everything, you remember everything, you could ace those classes easily. Why don''t you? You don''t need a tutor. It''s crazy that they''re talking about leaving you back.
JESS: Whatever.

//Life's like this you//

LORELAI: Well, Rory, where were you? What happened?
RORY: I cut school!
LORELAI: You what?

//You fall//

LORELAI: Why did you go to New York?
RORY: To see Jess.

// and you crawl//

RORY: I'm a horrible person.
LORELAI: You're not a horrible person.
RORY: I am sick, I'm ill, I'm cracked. This is not who I am.

//and you break//

RORY: I wouldn't do this. I wouldn't skip school when I have finals coming up to go see a guy that isn't even my guy and end up missing my mother's graduation, which I wanted to be at so badly. That's someone else. That's someone flighty and stupid and dumb and girly. And, I mean, I missed your graduation, which is the worst thing I could have possibly done.

//and you take what you get//

LORELAI: Okay, look, nobody wants to say this any less than me, but I - maybe you don't have a medical condition or a mental problem. Maybe, honey, you are falling for Jess.
RORY: No.

//And you turnin into//

RORY:If I were to write this down in my diary and I would read it, I would be like, Who is this freak? This isn't me.

//Honestly, you promised me//

RORY: No, I love Dean. Dean is my boyfriend. He will always be my boyfriend. That's it. Forever.
LORELAI: Well, maybe not forever.
RORY: Yes, forever. I love Dean and Jess is gone now and everything's going to be good again. Everything's going to be all right.

//I'm never gonna find you fake it//

LORELAI: Rory, you cut school.
RORY: Yeah, I know.
LORELAI: You got on a bus and went to a strange city in your uniform to see Jess.
RORY: I know.
LORELAI: Well, that doesn't mean nothing. That means something. I mean--

//No no //

RORY: No! I don't want to talk about this anymore. The only thing I want to talk about is the list I made on the bus of all the ways I'm gonna make this up to you.

//Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?//

LUKE: Just leave it alone, Jess. She''s got a boyfriend. Just let it go.
JESS: I don''t know what you''re talking about. I''m just going out for a walk.
LUKE: You heard what I said?
JESS: Yeah, I heard what you said.

//(yeah yeah)
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated//

RORY: What are you doing here?
JESS: Hello to you, too.
RORY: Is everything okay?
JESS: You look nice.
RORY: Thank you. What are you doing here?
JESS: I moved back.

//Life's like this you//
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turnin into//

RORY: But -- what -- why?
JESS: Just wanted to.

//Honestly, you promised me//

RORY: Stop yelling!
DEAN: You totally lied to me!
RORY: I didn''t!
DEAN: Turn the situation around, Rory! How''s it looking?
RORY: It''s looking complicated and I''m trying to explain it to you.
DEAN: Ugh, that''s crap

//I'm never gonna find you fake it//

JESS: why did you come here?
RORY: Well -
JESS: I mean, you ditched school and everything. That's so not you. Why'd you do it?
RORY: Because you didn't say goodbye.
JESS: Oh. Bye, Rory.
RORY: Bye, Jess.

//No no no//

DEAN: She likes Jess doesn't she.

//No, no, no//

RORY: I know. There''s no explaining attraction
