Lyrics & Translation

[English]

bikers have demonstrated the importance

of challenging oneself

mom

Rory I have to tell you something okay

wow there's something about westons it's

always the place where we talk we could

go somewhere else no no no tell

me I've

decided that I'm not going back to Yale

next year I'm sorry I don't think I

heard you correctly I'm not going back

to Yale next year but why because I'm

not sure that is the right place for me

and I'm not exactly sure what I want to

do with my life and why are you not sure

what you want to do with your life mom

you've known what you wanted to do with

your life since you were three be a

journalist maybe not oh this is about

Mitchum hunsburger no it's not B hang I

know that what he said hurt you and that

shook you up and you lost your

confidence but that was just one man's

opinion it has nothing to do with what

he said to me and Mitchum huntsberger

happens to be the top newspaper guy in

the country so what so if you're going

to get one man's opinion he's the the

one man you get you're not thinking this

is the man who doesn't want you to marry

Logan that wasn't him it was Logan's

mother and his grandfather and you

really think he's okay with it I mean

his whole family looks at you and sees

Anna Nicole Smith and they tell you that

to your face but he thinks you're swell

and wants to pay for the honeymoon

that's not why he said what he said he's

messing with your mind he has so many

motives that have nothing to do with

your abilities that's not true he said I

can't do it so I can't do it why are you

so willing to believe this guy Logan

agrees with him he said that he told you

he agrees with his father because if

that's so he he he's a fantastic

boyfriend really quite a catch no he

didn't say it I could just tell how I

could tell he ranted about his father

being a jerk and and speaking his mind

but he never said that he was wrong wor

come on what kind of logic is that it

doesn't matter this isn't about that I

told you I just need some time you're

making a mistake no I'm not this is

normal college kids take breaks like

this all the time you didn't go to

college so you don't understand no I

didn't go to college I wasn't lucky

enough to go to college trust me this is

very normal no you're not quitting Yale

yes I am am you're acting incredibly

immature and I know it's because you're

hurt but you've got to get a grip this

is too important you've been working

toward Yale your whole life no I was

working toward Harvard my whole life

okay fine then go to Harvard that's cool

I don't want to go to Harvard then go to

Princeton or Stanford or Columbia I want

time off if you leave Yale now you'll

never go back you'll lose momentum

momentum toward what all I've been doing

is working toward being a journalist I'm

not going to be a journalist so what

momentum am I losing exactly you don't

want to be a journalist fine I don't

care care about that you stay in school

you take some classes you figure out

what you do want to be that's not what

Yale is for that's what college is for

Yale's expensive are you paying I don't

want to do that I don't want to wander

around a school where everyone else is

focused and and working towards

something and I'm just floating so

what's the great master plan then huh

you're going to move back home live in

your room work parttime at the bookstore

forget it not an option I'll figure it

out I'm not hungry look I'm not going

back I just wanted you to know message

sent oh For Heaven's Sake go back to

your

work I guess I'll get

that Rory can I come in oh well all

right come

in didn't expect to see you until tell

dinner tonight I needed to talk to you

yes well your grandmother is running

some errands and I was doing some work

in the house so well I assume you've

heard about everything by now yes well I

believe I've

heard some bits and pieces you know I

really was in the middle of something

can this possibly wait until tonight

I'll give you my full attention I

promise everything's falling

apart I messed everything up I don't

know what to

do your grandmother should be back any

minute I can have the maid make us some

tea I'm so sorry Grandpa I'm so sorry

about everything I I just don't know

what to do I

don't it's all

right everything will be all

right uh Roy should be here pretty soon

so your mother and I have been talking

about your situation we have discussed

the matter thoroughly and we have come

to a

decision Rory will be taking some time

off from Yale she will be moving into

the pool house here with us we will find

her some sort of suitable job through

one of our friends and then after a

suitable time has passed we will revisit

the subject of her returning to school
