22 Days of Literati | Day 17 - Favorite Rory quote about/to Jess

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.
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. I’m never going to college, why waste the time in high school?
Rory: And why aren’t you going to college?
Jess:  Please.
Rory: What? Please what – why is it so crazy?
Jess:  Ask my mother, she could give you a couple reasons. Oh, and I’m sure Principal Mertin can chime in with a few good ones. In fact, ask your mother. She doesn’t know me all that well but I’m sure she could improvise a few things.
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. […] You could do more.
Jess:  Oh, here come the pompoms.
Rory: No, no pompoms, just me saying you could do more.
