Gilmore Girls s05e14 Episode Script
Say Something
- Get away from me, Christopher.
|- I just wanna talk.
Get some coffee, Christopher! This wasn't the way I wanted it to go|down.
I wanted to get you alone - What are you doing?|- I'm going after Luke.
There you are! I've got her! You cannot keep|a roomful of Anglo-Saxons waiting for cake this long.
They start to form more clubs.
- Take her.
|- All right.
Wonderful.
There we are.
Okay, everyone in just a little closer.
That's perfect.
Hold that.
You and me, we're done.
One, two, three.
- Are you leaving?|- Party's over.
It is so over.
- Are you okay?|- Yeah, I'm fine.
It's just time to go.
Are we okay? I mean, that wasn't exactly|my proudest moment.
Honey, you're the daughter of a woman who has had no end|of less-than-proud moments.
- Don't worry.
|- Luke was so mad.
That's because, to Luke,|you're still 10 years old wearing feathered angel's wings|going door to door inviting people to a caterpillar's funeral.
- I did that once.
|- Luke is fine.
- I hope so.
|- Look, go back in.
Catch up with Logan.
|Tell him everything is fine.
He went right to his car and split.
- I don't blame the boy.
|- What's with you and Grandma? - All these questions.
|- Sorry.
Look, go back in.
Make the best of things.
Luke is just bringing the car around.
|I'll talk to you later.
- Are you sure we're good?|- Always.
Okay.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, mister.
- Excuse me.
I'm gonna need a cab, please.
|- Yes, ma'am.
There you are.
I'd love|to get a few more shots in.
Yeah, so would I.
Hi.
- I was just on my break.
|- That's no problem.
Caesar- I clocked out, too, so, it should|say so on my time card.
Right.
Although the ink is kind of weak|and faded, so it's really hard to see.
That's fine.
Great.
|So, Caesar, is Luke back yet? - Didn't you guys go somewhere tonight?|- Yeah.
You get separated or something? Something like that.
|So, have you seen him? Not unless I fell asleep.
|And I never fall asleep.
So, if you didn't fall asleep,|you know for a fact he's not back.
Right.
So you didn't come back together? Long story.
It's getting kind of late, so - If I see him, should I tell him to call you?|- Yes, please.
Okay, and if you talk to him could you maybe not mention|the radio or eating the pie? He hates when I eat out of the pie plate.
You were eating out of the pie plate? - No.
|- Thanks, Caesar.
See you.
I've got lots of work to do,|and I'm hankering to get to it.
Okay, bye.
- Lorelai, hey.
|- Hi, Babbette.
- Hi, Morey.
|- Hi, Lorelai.
Look at you, all dolled up|and walking the streets.
- I'm not calling you a hooker or nothing.
|- Thank you.
Did you guys pass Luke|or see his truck anytime tonight? - You're not with Luke?|- Not at the moment.
What? Didn't you go to your parents'|wedding thing tonight? - Yes.
|- What? You didn't come back together? Of course we did.
We're just|not together at the moment.
Would you guys stop doing that? Everything's all right between|the two of you, isn't it? - Of course it is.
|- I hope so.
Otherwise, Taylor would go crazy.
He's got all these contingency plans,|remember, in case you guys split.
He's worried what it would do|to the town, big anal creep.
There's no splitting happening here.
|Everything's fine.
- Good.
|- We better be going.
- Take care, doll.
|- Talk to you guys later.
Bye.
Luke, it's me, again.
So, another very exciting night|comes to a close.
I don't think you're home,|so I'm going home.
I'll leave my cell phone on,|or call me at home anytime you want.
Bye.
Or just, please, call me, okay? Bye.
Paris? Paris.
Paris.
- Are you asleep?|- Don't turn the light on.
- I said don't turn the light on.
|- I didn't hear the "don't.
" Why would you think I'd tell you|to turn on the light - when I'm dead asleep?|- I didn't know you were dead asleep.
The room is dark.
I'm under the covers|and completely immobile.
- Deduce, Sherlock.
|- You're awake now.
- Can I ask you a question?|- Bite me.
- Were there any messages for me?|- Yes.
Four other people called|and asked that you bite me.
Look, I'm serious here.
Come on, Paris.
|It is especially important tonight that if there was a message for me,|that that message gets to me.
If there was a message, I would have|left it on the message board.
The board is blank and you are not|the most reliable message-leaver.
- No messages.
|- Okay.
I don't mean to insult you,|but are you maybe telling me that there's no message|because you're mad I woke you - and there really was a message?|- Oh, my God, you're annoying tonight.
What's with being all K.
D.
Lang? It was for my grandparents' vow renewal.
- I was the best man.
|- They kinky or something? - It was a cute thing.
|- So, who's the boy? What boy? The boy you're dying to get|a message from.
I assume it's a boy.
- Not necessarily.
|- Well no one called, left a note,|smoke-signaled, Morse-coded semaphore-flagged, or came by.
Male, female, or hermaphrodite.
Okay, thanks.
I'm wide-awake.
It's your fault.
|You owe me Boggle.
- Boggle.
|- One game, and then it's back to bed.
Hi, Lorelai.
Kirk, you're dripping wet.
"Sweat is the curse of the B-Boy.
"|Mos Def.
- So are you feeling better?|- Yeah, I'm feeling fine.
Why? - Luke told me you weren't feeling well.
|- Luke? You've seen Luke? He came into the movie theater.
|I'm on my break so I figured I'd come down|and bust a sweet move.
- When?|- About a half-hour ago.
I asked about you, and he said|you weren't feeling well.
Then he rejected my "buy two junior mints get|a free hunk of onion beef jerky" offer with a disgusting profanity,|then took a seat.
- So he's there now?|- Probably.
Nothing's up with you two, is there? - I mean, he seemed just fine.
|- No, nothing.
Nothing's wrong at all.
Kirk, we have not broken up.
But why are you guys dressed up|but not together? Luke's in a suit,|which seems oddly formal for a movie theater|that recycles its popcorn.
We had a fancy event to go to.
Then I got the sniffles,|and so Luke decided to see a movie.
But now I'm feeling better,|so I came looking for him.
I hope that's true because Taylor|would go nuts if you two broke up.
That's not the case,|so there's nothing to worry about.
Do you think he's still there? The movie just started when I left.
Great.
Thanks a lot, Kirk.
|So I can go in without paying? - No.
|- Thank you.
My towel! It would be a pleasure for me to go back to a society|of really important people.
- What did he call her?|- Nitwit.
- Nitwit? What are they?|- I don't know.
The man's perfect.
I have been wanting to say that all night,|but I didn't have the nerve.
- What are you watching?|- Something stupid.
- I'm terribly sorry.
|- That's all right.
I'd never've brought you here if I thought|they were gonna humiliate you.
I'm terribly gratefuI.
|This is the first time I've ever beaten Cornelia at anything|and you helped me do it.
Man, they sure talked fast in those things.
Yeah, they did.
Fast.
Because you've done something for me,|don't you see? I've been frantically trying to|call your cell phone.
I turned it off.
That's what I figured.
So, do you want to hear my explanations?|Because I've got them.
Explanations, perspective, apologies I've got them all, and I'm dying|to share them with you.
I just need some time.
- Time.
|- A little time to think.
And to process.
Right.
I get that.
I just have so much I want to say to you.
Not right now, okay?|I need to clear my head.
Okay, but you'll call me|when you're ready? - Yeah.
|- Okay, good.
So, I should You're little late, Cornelia.
|I have won the game.
- You have.
|- When do I get my five bucks? Bucks, what? Will you talk to your sister? I figure as your little girls arrive,|we'll gather them here in the living room.
We'll have the pocket doors|to the dining room closed.
Then, when it's time for breakfast,|we'll open the doors and "voiIÃ " - you'll get the full, beautiful effect.
|- Wonderful.
We'll add music.
Have a nice little fanfare.
|You like Yanni? - Hate him with every fiber of my being.
|- Good.
We're in perfect sync.
And then we'll have small-scale tables|set with china and a silver tea service,|little plates, little cups and 12 little chairs for all of them|to sit on.
- That's so cute!|- Yeah.
Wait.
Twelve? I thought there were six.
|Six little girls.
- Six girls and their six dolls.
|- I beg your pardon.
This is a pancake breakfast|for the girls and their dolls.
- Get out of town.
|- I thought you knew that.
Dolls, as in they don't have|stomachs, lungs, or spleens - and we are serving them breakfast?|- That's right.
Teeth, throats, colons,|they don't have these either unless they are brides of Chucky.
Not paying attention to you anymore.
All right, I'll order everything,|and all you have to do is show up.
The girls are looking forward to this.
|So are the dolls.
- I love that.
|- Bye.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
Is she psychotic? They're just having a little silly fun,|Michel.
Girls love dolls, so chill.
I'm making little pancakes for the dolls.
|And I found these little forks they can use.
They do not have opposable thumbs! Who? The girls? Oh, this is|a handicapped group? Poor things.
No, the dolls.
The dolls? How can a doll be handicapped? My point exactly.
They are plastic|and made in Bangaladore.
We're doing this,|so hop on board or hop off.
Okay, you don't need to snap my nose off.
- He's getting on your nerves?|- Completely.
- I'm starving.
|- Didn't you have anything at Luke's today? No, not today.
|There's no food in this fridge.
It's stuffed with food.
I'm talking food that's edible,|food to consume.
- Everything in here you have to cook.
|- I'm a cook.
- Forget it.
|- What's wrong? Nothing.
Luke and I had|a little disagreement last night.
At the wedding? What happened? - Christopher showed up.
|- Oh, no.
- My mother invited him.
|- Oh, no.
And I hadn't exactly told Luke|about that tequila night with Chris after his dad died.
And so I told him,|and there was a big blowup.
Chris went nuts, and Luke went nuts,|and he got mad, and he left.
And now he says he needs time to think.
- How much time?|- He just said "time.
" I hate when men do that.
It's so vague.
I should've told him|when it happened, but I blew it.
Now if he'd just give me 10 minutes,|we could hash it out and be back on our way|and not waste time.
- What's enough time?|- I don't know.
- It's been 12 hours.
That enough?|- I'd say no.
- I'm gonna be distracted until we fix this.
|- Don't worry because when a relationship|is right, things work out.
I hope so.
I heard about this couple|on one of those morning shows.
Similar to you guys, all lovey-dovey,|perfect for each other headed for marriage,|and something happened and they broke up in|their senior year in college even though they were madly|in love with each other.
They moved to different|parts of the country.
- They married different people.
|- They married different people? Had kids, grandkids.
|Then their spouses died.
And they were available again,|and they talked, and they hooked up.
And now they're together and they're happily in love|after 40 years apart.
- That's a horrible story.
|- No, it's not.
What morning show was that on?|I hate that story.
But they ended up together.
Was it Katie Couric?|She seems very dark to me.
The point is that even if it|takes 40 years to figure it out there's still a chance for a happy ending.
But that's all they had, an ending.
I don't|want to have just an ending with Luke.
- I know, but-|- I don't wanna have those stupid kids or those ugly grandkids|with that loser other guy.
You don't know.
He could be a nice guy.
Even if he's a nice guy,|he's not the guy I want to be with.
- You're right.
It's not fair to him.
|- It's not fair to him.
It's dishonest.
We should name the other guy.
|I feel like he'd be a Larry.
- I'm not naming the other guy.
|- Okay, I guess it was a bad example.
- Sorry.
|- That's okay.
But you know,|I read a story about another guy that had a fight with his girlfriend.
And he said that he needed|like a week to think it over and he only needed a day.
And he and the girl were back together|and were happy forever.
No Larry or loser kids or anything.
They don't put stuff like that|in the newspapers because it's not as sexy as a 40-year story.
But it happens all the time, really.
- Thanks for making that up.
|- You're welcome.
I'm gonna go take a walk.
|I've got some errands to run.
Good.
Go clear your head.
|And it was Katie Couric.
I knew it.
Don't forget the raisin bran.
|It's good for you.
Keeps you moving.
Whatever that means.
I just got what that means.
Cognitive skills are slow today.
|Grab some cornflakes.
Nietzsche and Wittgenstein|went ape guano over cornflakes.
So they make you smart,|German, and depressed? Why do they have so much Wheat Chex?|It doesn't go with anything.
Wheat Chex is sort of the|pumpernickel bread of the cereal world.
Well put.
So what combo were you thinking today? Cap'n Crunch over a foundation|of Rice Krispies with a perimeter of Shredded Wheat.
- Bold.
|- I like its prospects.
- I love cereal.
|- It rocks.
- So, you never told me who the guy was.
|- Guy? The guy you were|dying for a message from.
The guy who has you yoked|to your cell phone.
I am not yoked to my cell phone.
|I can't hear it when it's in my pocket.
- God.
Tell me it's not Huntzberger.
|- What if it is? With the hair and the chin|like he's a fourth Bee Gee? I can put the phone away|if it's bothering you.
Don't.
That pathetic boat you're in,|I'm first oarsman.
- How so?|- I'm waiting for Doyle to call.
I expected a call yesterday|to set something up for last night but it never came.
So I ate a family-size bag|of salt and vinegar potato chips and went to bed at 7:30.
- That was the smell.
|- We're better than this, you and me.
We're the children of Emma Goldman|and Hillary Clinton.
Strong, independent.
- We're better than this.
|- Apparently not.
I blame Chilton.
|Great education but horrific socialization.
- We need guidance.
|- I'm not calling "Loveline.
" Rory, come on.
We're sitting|in a sea of expertise in this field.
A college campus.
There's no end|of knock-headed bimbos with tons of dross to dispense.
- There's two now.
|- Paris, don't.
- Althea, Janet, come here.
|- You hate Althea and Janet.
Granted, they know nothing|of Ukrainian politics or the periodic table but when it comes to boys,|they're brighter than the Brontës.
- What, Paris?|- Hey, Janet.
Hey, Althea.
Girls, we have related problems.
|A little love trouble.
- Can we bend your ears?|- Sure.
No, Althea.
Please, go enjoy your Sunday.
|There's no love trouble here.
- I don't mind.
|- I do.
Fine, then I'll just lay out my situation.
Great, 'cause I'm out of this.
Okay, so I've got a guy.
- Blind?|- Can it.
The last time I saw him,|he strongly implied that he was going to call me and soon.
- It's been four days.
|- You ever call him to hook up? - He's always taken the reins.
|- What did he say exactly? "Call you later" or "see you later"? "Call," or was it "see"? - Very different.
|- "Call" is more descriptive.
If he said "call you later" and didn't,|it's an egregious "screw you.
" I'm pretty sure it was "see.
" Then I think you could cut him some slack.
- You like him, right?|- Yeah.
Then call him, but have a reason.
- We're on the paper together.
|- Perfect.
Call to ask for notes, or something,|but don't give him anything else.
If he's into you, he'll take it from there.
If he's not, at least you know,|so you can dump him.
Direct.
Simple.
A clear path.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
|- See you.
- Excuse me.
|- Yeah? - If you don't mind, I'm wondering|- Yeah? I got close to kind of|getting together with a guy.
You mean like "getting together"|getting together? Yeah, but we were interrupted.
Shouldn't he be calling me to talk|or maybe set up getting together? What was the interruption? Mom.
Then Dad.
Then Mom's boyfriend.
- Whoa!|- Poor guy.
- You definitely have to call him.
|- Really? - He might be afraid to call.
|- Thinks you're too much drama.
Too much drama.
You give him a call but keep it casual.
She's love dense.
|Give her specific language.
- "Get together.
"|- Or "hang out.
" That's better.
Ask him to hang out sometime.
|It'll give him an easy out.
If he says "yes," meet up,|act casual, but look hot.
I've got a pen|if you wanna write this down.
No, I think I can remember.
Thank you.
- No problem.
|- Any time.
Styrofoam for brains,|but they know their stuff.
I'm on your side, Lorelai.
Wait, Gypsy.
What are you talking about? - The breakup.
|- What breakup? - Yours and Luke's.
|- We're not broken up.
Breakup, split-up, separated,|whatever you want to call it.
I'd like to call it nothing.
We're fine.
|And what is with these ribbons? Pink for you, blue for Luke.
|It's Taylor's idea.
That way, we all know who's side we're on|without having to talk to each other.
He's a freak, but I like pink.
- Oh, my God.
|- Look out.
Blue incoming.
Gypsy, please, take that ribbon off.
I don't want anyone|encouraging Taylor on this.
It's way too late.
|He's passed out hundreds.
- Hundreds?|- It was no choice for me.
Luke fixes his own truck,|so I make "bubkes" off him.
But you, you don't know a piston|from a pepperoni.
Lots of money in ignorance.
I'm with you.
Okay, great.
I'll catch up with you later.
Pink power, baby!|We chicks got to stick together.
- Lorelai.
|- I'll deal with you later.
Luke.
Hi, I am sorry to sneak up on you|like this.
Please, just give me a minute,|we need to talk.
I have so much to say.
I should've told you about|that night with Christopher.
- I know that now.
|- Okay, I- But I swear, the visit we had|was so innocent.
It was about his dad.
|And nothing happened.
- Less than nothing happened.
|- But you hid it.
I know, and I shouldn't have,|and I am so sorry.
But all that talk|from Christopher at the wedding.
I didn't see that coming.
|He was drunk.
He was stupid.
He's never not stupid,|but I didn't see it coming.
- You should have.
|- I know.
Rory warned me, and I ignored her.
But believe me,|I am never seeing him again, never.
What are you talking about?|He's Rory's father.
- He'll always be in your life.
|- In her life.
Her life is your life.
Not when it comes to this.
- This is gonna happen again and again.
|- No, it won't, Luke, I promise.
God, if you care anything for me at all,|just please trust me on this.
- I've got to go.
|- No.
Wait.
Luke, it was my mother,|you know, who did all this.
She was the one, she caused|all this hateful stuff because Christopher is weak,|and she knows that and I am never talking to her again.
They're always gonna be in your life, too.
|Your mother, your father.
The Gilmores will always be in your life.
- I can cut them off.
|- You just can't cut them off.
It doesn't work that way, and they'll|never feel differently about me, ever.
It doesn't matter, because they're gone.
|That's it.
They are gone.
I can do that.
- Look, I can't have this out, right now.
|- Okay when? Where? - I need more time.
I told you that.
|- I'm afraid of this "more time" stuff.
I'm afraid it'll take 40 years,|and that's not good.
- Lorelai.
|- We'll miss our middle.
I want a middle.
And the town is dividing us up.
|I need that to stop.
- Don't.
|- Luke I'm all in.
I'm all in.
Please trust me.
Let me show you|what a great girlfriend I can be.
But I can't wait.
We can't wait.
I need to know what you're|thinking right now.
Fine.
You want to know|what I'm thinking right now? That I can't be in this relationship.
|It's too much.
No.
- Hello.
|- Hi, it's Rory.
- Rory Gilmore, as I live and breathe.
|- So, how are you? - I'm good, Ace.
How are you?|- I'm good.
Hope your life's been less exciting|since the last time I saw you.
Relatively.
Meaning you're steering clear|of country club dressing rooms? - Pretty much.
|- Good.
Yeah, so I was wondering if maybe you'd Yeah? If you'd like to hang out or something.
- Hang out.
|- Yeah.
- When?|- How about tonight? Whoa! Ms.
Spontaneity! I'm very of-the-moment these days.
Sure, I'd love to hang out with you.
|Come on over.
- To your place?|- Absolutely.
Cool.
- See you in a bit.
|- See you in a bit.
- Yeah.
|- Hi.
- I don't think I'm in the right place.
|- Who is it? - Girl scout.
|- Ace, come on in.
Come on in.
Welcome to my night|of humiliating defeat.
One in a series.
- Don't gloat, Robert.
It's not Christian.
|- Neither am I.
- Everybody, this is Rory.
|- Hi.
I'd introduce you,|but I don't know three of them.
- It's to you, buddy.
|- Joy.
Come on, kiddo.
Sit here next to me.
- Is that allowed?|- I wouldn't object.
Come on.
Be my good-luck charm.
|Did I raise or check? You've been eating out of|aluminum pans again, buddy? - Your short-term memory is nonexistent.
|- Yeah, it's aluminum pans.
Come on.
The more you stall,|the slower I win.
That was almost grammatically correct.
- Two.
|- Goodbye.
- Call.
|- Hold up.
- You look very nice tonight.
|- Thanks.
What do you know about this game? Just what I've seen on TV.
|The Odd Couple.
What? Quincy played it,|but he wasn't called "Quincy.
" Oscar and Felix.
Felix didn't play.
Tony Randall.
|He cooked for them sometimes.
- I am so lost.
|- I know a little.
If you know anything,|you know I need a jack or a 10.
- Pocket jacks.
|- Un-bloody-believable.
- Do we bother with fifth street?|- Let's see it.
- Now you're just mocking me!|- Your girl brought someone some luck.
Two G's.
Ouch.
- That was $2,000?|- You got to bet it to win it.
It's just money.
He's down $9,000 to me from last time.
|Should I send the I.
O.
U.
to your pop? Is that how you want to work it?|Cut out the middleman? Yeah, and I'll send some to your mother.
A generic, unfocused|"and so's your mother" style comeback.
You're off your game, Huntz.
I'll work on a better retort|and get back to you.
- So are you covering this?|- Pardon me? You were at the last|"life and death" shindig, as I recall.
Yeah, but I'm not covering this.
|I'm just hanging out.
Back off, Robert.
She's just hanging out.
- Thanks, kitten.
|- You're welcome.
I love the service here.
- I'm out.
|- Down to the tricks again.
I'm in.
- Don't be a jerk, Robert.
|- What? You bet without looking at your cards.
|Look at your cards.
I don't need to with Rory here.
- I hate it when he does that.
|- You want a drink? - Me?|- Yeah.
Actually, I don't know|how long I'm going to stay here so I think I'm good for now.
All right.
The way it's going tonight I may not last to|the next drink either.
- Can we change the music?|- No.
Since when did you become Tipper Gore? Shut up, Colin.
- She's on her way.
I know she is.
|- I hope she is.
Just hang in there, girls.
|I know you're hungry.
They're getting ready to rebel.
It's just that Lorelai ordered all the tables|and the little china and I'm sure it's here somewhere,|it's just Excuse me just for a second.
|Please help.
You're just standing there.
I'm staying out of the way.
In situations like these,|to not get in the way is so valuable.
Get in the way.
Entertain the kids.
Like I'm Spongeboy Bigpants|or something? I do not entertain children.
I am worried.
She left to do an errand|yesterday, and never came back.
Are you dialing the right number? I think after 10 years,|I know Lorelai's number.
Where is she? I don't know, but she was in charge of|everything, except the pancakes and without her, all we have are pancakes.
- They're expecting games and stuff.
|- Here's a fun game.
Poke out all the dolls' eyes, mix them up,|and try to match them to the right dolls.
- It's still voicemail.
|- Leave a message.
I've left a million messages.
|I'm going to her house.
- Don't leave me here.
|- Stall.
My dolly fell.
Kiss the boo-boo.
What part of the dolly is the "boo-boo"? Come on, I've made my decision.
- I'm in, $350.
|- Call.
I'm gonna raise.
Ass.
Our gentlemen's courtesy|still prevails, Rob.
Fine.
Mr.
Ass.
- Ass, Esquire.
|- He's cracked.
- We've cracked Robert.
|- Morning, there, Ace.
How'd you sleep? For the record, you don't snore.
We'd be happy to sign an affidavit|to that effect for any prospective husband.
- Mom?|- It's me, Rory.
It's Sookie.
Sookie? You're at the house? Look, something happened|with your mom and Luke and your mom's in bad shape.
|I mean, she's down.
I'm here now,|but I think you ought to come.
- She needs you.
|- Oh, my God, is she hurt? - No, not physically.
Just come, okay?|- Okay.
I'm out.
- You okay?|- I have to go.
- What happened?|- I just have to go.
I have to get home.
- To your dorm?|- Stars Hollow.
Oh, no.
I don't have my car.
Didn't you walk here?|You're like 100 yards away.
No, I mean I took it in for|its six-month service.
It's at the dealer.
You take your car to the dealer?|They so rip you off there! It doesn't matter where it is.
|I don't have it.
Which means that I have to take a bus|or a train or something.
- That'll take hours.
|- I know.
I have to go.
- Take my car.
|- I don't want to drive your car.
No, it's a car with a driver.
|I've got an account with the company.
- No.
|- Take it.
I'll give Frank a call,|and tell him to meet you out front.
He'll take good care of you.
|It's a done deal.
- Okay.
Thanks.
|- Go.
- Where is she?|- Upstairs.
Okay, I've got it from here, Sookie.
|I love you.
Mom? What happened? - Luke.
|- What about Luke? He's gone.
He hates me.
|I blew it.
I blew everything.
I don't understand.
What happened? I should have told him about Christopher.
- That was innocent.
|- But I should have told him.
I hid it.
- I shouldn't have hid it.
|- Try to sit up.
- She got to him.
|- To Dad? Who did? Mom.
She pushed him to ruin everything.
|And now they're putting up ribbons.
Ribbons? Who? Taylor, the town.
They hate me.
|They all hate me.
I wrecked everything.
Mom, this isn't good.
|Come on.
Try to sit up.
He said he needed time to think,|and I pushed him.
- He'll come around.
|- I pushed him, and now he's gone.
He waited forever for you.
|He's not just gonna walk away.
It's over.
Mom, this isn't you, lying in bed like this.
|You should be up.
You should go to school.
|Go back to school.
I'm here.
I'm staying.
I really screwed up this time.
- He could've been the one.
|- He'll come around.
Try to sleep.
Rory? Luke? - What you watching?|- Something stupid.
This isn't stupid.
Lorelai, this thing we're doing here,|me, you I just want you to know I'm in.
I am all in.
Say something.
Say something.
- You slept.
|- I guess.
- Feeling better?|- Sure.
- No, you're not.
|- You should get back to Yale.
Rory, you can't just stay here.
Sorry.
I'm here for the duration.
|You need supplies.
I'm fine.
There's no sign that you've eaten|or had anything to drink.
I'm not hungry or thirsty.
If you're staying up here, you need|supplies, sustenance, entertainment.
- So, you're a little thirsty, aren't you?|- A little.
What can I get you? Water? Bourbon? - Water is good.
|- What do you got food-wise? - Not much.
|- What's not much? Like, nothing.
Some moldy bread.
- I've been eating out, mostly.
|- Okay.
I'm going on a run.
I'm not hungry.
I'll get you some DVDs, too.
|Do you want magazines? - No.
|- I'll get you some magazines.
You sure you don't want bourbon? - Honey, you have stuff to do.
|- This is my stuff.
I'll be back in a flash.
- The ribbons.
|- What? The ribbons.
They're all over town.
I'll just ignore them.
Stupid Taylor.
People are gonna be all over you|with questions.
Then they'll feel the wrath|of the Green Destiny.
- You'll get bombarded.
|- Maybe I'll call in some reinforcements.
- I got my cell on.
|- Okay.
Don't go roller-blading or bowling|or anything while I'm gone.
I won't.
I'll take those, miss.
- Did you get everything?|- Everything on the list.
Plus I threw in a few things of my own.
|Some Toll House cookie dough.
Cooked or uncooked,|the ultimate comfort food.
Nice.
- Chocolate-covered matzo.
|- Nice and ethnic.
- And a new toothbrush.
|- Why a new toothbrush? Dentists say to change your|toothbrush every three months.
I'm assuming your mother's|not doing that.
I'm not sure how that's going to help|her depression, but you are a good friend.
You like ham and cheese, Frank? - Thank you, miss.
|- We can head home now.
Very good.
- Was Taylor in there?|- Afraid so.
And he was holding court.
What? He was talking with a bunch|of people about the breakup.
- Big debate going on.
|- What debate? About whether Elm Street|had gone more pink than blue and whether Lorelai should've married|that Max guy when she had the chance.
And he was passing out ribbons|like there was no tomorrow.
Was he? - Hold on, Frank.
|- Yes, ma'am.
Luke I've known longer|because of the diner.
- Lorelai is much later, but-|- Where are they, Taylor? What? Don't play dumb.
The ribbons.
|Take piano lessons or something.
She was so sweet when she was little.
- Got them.
|- My compliments to your moxie.
I've got moxie coming out|of my ears today.
Are they honking at us? They better not be.
|Frank, are they honking at us? I believe so.
I'm in no mood for this! We are depressed.
|We'll move when we move, so stop Sorry.
I'm not usually in a limo.
Heads up.
Man coming in.
The TV! If you won't come downstairs,|I'm bringing downstairs up to you.
- On the table, Frank.
|- Very good.
- Evening, ma'am.
|- Evening.
That's Frank, my driver.
So, I put all the things|you will definitely need within easiest reach,|water, basic foodstuffs.
Then the things that you have to|reach for or stand up for recede in order of frequency of use.
It's not a science,|but I did the best I could.
I'm loving this cereal combo.
Five different kinds, three sweetened with a mix of nonfat milk|and half-and-half.
- It's a Paris recipe.
|- Thank her for me.
- All done here.
|- Excellent.
Anything else I can get for you? - I don't think so.
Thanks, Frank.
|- Yeah, thanks, Frank.
- Wait.
Who's Frank?|- I had to get out here and my car is at the dealer|for its six-month service.
My friend had a car|and a driver standing by so they let me borrow it and Frank and that explains Frank.
- You take your car to the dealer?|- Yeah.
They're such a rip-off.
It says in the book to take it to the dealer.
If it said to drive off a cliff,|would you drive off a cliff? Yes, I would.
- And "they" is a "he"?|- Who? - The "they" with a limo.
|- Yes, he's a "he.
" - Thank Logan for me.
|- Okay.
- Look, you and Frank should go.
|- No.
- Yale's gonna get mad.
|- Yale's not gonna get mad.
Rory, I'm glad you came,|but look how fine I am.
I'm surrounded by everything|I could possibly need.
I even have raw cookie dough,|for God's sake.
- That was Lane's idea.
|- A whole village has seen to my needs.
Go.
It's time.
|Look, I'm sitting up and everything.
Then you're feeling better?|I mean, for real, this time? I'm not 100%, but I'm getting there.
|I swear.
The downstairs is all set, too.
I cleaned up, vacuumed a little,|spot-dusted - and I've checked in with Sookie.
|- Good.
The party for the little girls|and their dolls Michel apparently really came through,|and it was a big hit.
He sang a medley from "Annie.
" Pulled out the big guns.
Good.
Now go! Okay, but I am going to call a lot.
- I'm good with that.
|- I only have one class tomorrow so I could stop by again in the afternoon.
- There will be no need.
|- You can call me, too, you know.
- I know, Mom.
|- Okay.
Bye.
Bye, honey.
And I'm gonna have Frank honk|before we leave.
- Why?|- I don't know.
It just sounds fun.
Okay.
The results have really been tremendous.
We'd love to take your calls|if you're using the products and- - It will make-|- good look at this- - I don't want it-|- it could be- The next morning I read the story- Hey, Luke, it's me.
I know I'm not supposed to be calling,|but I am not doing really great right now.
I was just wondering if Do you remember, in "The Way We Were " how Katie and Hubbell broke up because his friends were joking|and laughing and the President had just died,|and she yelled at them, and he was mad? And he was going out to Hollywood, and I mean, which she hated.
And he broke up with her, and she was really upset.
And she called him and asked him if he would come|over and sit with her because he was her best friend|and she needed her best friend.
And he did.
And And they talked all night and they went out to Hollywood,|which was a disaster but it was good at first|with the boat and in the putting the books away.
I've seen this movie a lot so if you don't remember the|putting-the-books-away scene don't feel stupid or anything.
I was just sitting here thinking|about it because I I'm in my house and I was just Could you please come over? I, please, really need to see you|and talk to you and Please come over.
Please.
Come Oh, my God.
- Hey, Ace.
How're you doing?|- Fine.
Come on in.
Logan, wait.
No, I can't stay.
|I'm just returning Frank.
- Returning Frank?|- And the limo.
Thanks very much.
Everything okay back home? Okay enough.
It was good that I went.
|Thank you very much for your help.
- You're very formal tonight.
|- What? - Just your tone, it's formal.
|- That's how it is.
I fed Frank a nice sandwich,|so he's all good to go.
You ended up being|extremely lucky for me, Ace.
- Is that so?|- I took Robert for everything he had plus everything I owed him from last time.
You should come to all these things.
- Yeah, kiddo, maybe I should.
|- What? Did it ever occur to you when I called|to ask if you wanted to hang out that I meant it should|just be the two of us? I actually wasn't sure.
|The whole thing was a little vague.
- It wasn't vague.
|- No, "hang out" is a little vague.
It's not a specific boy-girl thing.
I can tell you that I wasn't expecting|to be Fanny Brice to your Nicky Arnstein.
But I already had this game going.
|I couldn't kick everybody out so my choice was to say "no" and|not see you at all or say "yes" and do it the way we did it.
I wasn't expecting a group.
So I should've said "no,"|meaning I wouldn't see you at all? - I wanted to see you.
|- That's nice.
I wanted to see you, too.
I just thought it would be|a little more intimate.
- Intimate?|- You know what I mean.
So the only time we can see each|other is to have sex? No, Logan, that's not what I'm saying.
That's what I'm taking from this.
Don't take that.
|That's not what I'm saying.
So we can see each other under|all kinds of conditions, alone, in a group? - Yeah.
|- Good.
- Last night happened to be a group thing.
|- Right.
- So I don't see the problem.
|- Yeah.
No, I guess there really wasn't a problem.
- I'm glad we cleared that up.
|- Yeah, me, too.
I'm going out of town for a few days.
But I was gonna give you a call to set|something up for when I get back - but you called me first.
|- Right.
I'm back next Saturday.
|It's the first night I'm back.
Want to I don't know.
What are the kids|saying these days? "Hang out?" I'm never listening|to the Branford cereal girls again.
- What?|- Nothing.
I'm free.
- No group this time.
|- No group this time.
Good.
So next Saturday.
- Thanks for feeding Frank.
|- You're welcome.
I promise not to call you "kiddo" again.
I kind of picked up on that sarcasm|from before.
There are so many other things|you could call me.
That's an opening.
- Bye.
|- Bye, Ace.
- Luke.
|- Are you okay? - Yeah.
|- You sure? I got here.
There was no answer.
You got my message.
Yeah, I was home and I couldn't|reach the phone so I ran over here.
|I knocked.
There was no answer.
So I tried the loose window,|but I fixed that last week.
And then I realized I fixed all the stupid|ways there were to get into your house and I broke the back door lock|and ran inside, and you weren't there.
- My God.
|- It's okay.
I can fix it.
I'm so sorry, Luke.
|I will never do this to you ever again.
I am absolutely humiliated.
I was hurting, and I knew|if I called you, you'd come.
- I never should have done that.
|- It's okay.
No, it's not okay.
I am not that girl.
|I'm not the one who cries and falls apart and calls her ex-boyfriend to come and save her.
Thank you so much for coming|and for breaking my door.
- You're an amazing guy for doing that.
|- What's that? It's the tape|from your answering machine.
- From my-|- It's the last crazy thing you will ever have to endure from me, I promise.
I just want you to know I heard you|when you said that you're out.
I did.
I'm gonna respect that from now on.
Okay.
You should go.
It's cold.
I'll be fine.
English
|- I just wanna talk.
Get some coffee, Christopher! This wasn't the way I wanted it to go|down.
I wanted to get you alone - What are you doing?|- I'm going after Luke.
There you are! I've got her! You cannot keep|a roomful of Anglo-Saxons waiting for cake this long.
They start to form more clubs.
- Take her.
|- All right.
Wonderful.
There we are.
Okay, everyone in just a little closer.
That's perfect.
Hold that.
You and me, we're done.
One, two, three.
- Are you leaving?|- Party's over.
It is so over.
- Are you okay?|- Yeah, I'm fine.
It's just time to go.
Are we okay? I mean, that wasn't exactly|my proudest moment.
Honey, you're the daughter of a woman who has had no end|of less-than-proud moments.
- Don't worry.
|- Luke was so mad.
That's because, to Luke,|you're still 10 years old wearing feathered angel's wings|going door to door inviting people to a caterpillar's funeral.
- I did that once.
|- Luke is fine.
- I hope so.
|- Look, go back in.
Catch up with Logan.
|Tell him everything is fine.
He went right to his car and split.
- I don't blame the boy.
|- What's with you and Grandma? - All these questions.
|- Sorry.
Look, go back in.
Make the best of things.
Luke is just bringing the car around.
|I'll talk to you later.
- Are you sure we're good?|- Always.
Okay.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, mister.
- Excuse me.
I'm gonna need a cab, please.
|- Yes, ma'am.
There you are.
I'd love|to get a few more shots in.
Yeah, so would I.
Hi.
- I was just on my break.
|- That's no problem.
Caesar- I clocked out, too, so, it should|say so on my time card.
Right.
Although the ink is kind of weak|and faded, so it's really hard to see.
That's fine.
Great.
|So, Caesar, is Luke back yet? - Didn't you guys go somewhere tonight?|- Yeah.
You get separated or something? Something like that.
|So, have you seen him? Not unless I fell asleep.
|And I never fall asleep.
So, if you didn't fall asleep,|you know for a fact he's not back.
Right.
So you didn't come back together? Long story.
It's getting kind of late, so - If I see him, should I tell him to call you?|- Yes, please.
Okay, and if you talk to him could you maybe not mention|the radio or eating the pie? He hates when I eat out of the pie plate.
You were eating out of the pie plate? - No.
|- Thanks, Caesar.
See you.
I've got lots of work to do,|and I'm hankering to get to it.
Okay, bye.
- Lorelai, hey.
|- Hi, Babbette.
- Hi, Morey.
|- Hi, Lorelai.
Look at you, all dolled up|and walking the streets.
- I'm not calling you a hooker or nothing.
|- Thank you.
Did you guys pass Luke|or see his truck anytime tonight? - You're not with Luke?|- Not at the moment.
What? Didn't you go to your parents'|wedding thing tonight? - Yes.
|- What? You didn't come back together? Of course we did.
We're just|not together at the moment.
Would you guys stop doing that? Everything's all right between|the two of you, isn't it? - Of course it is.
|- I hope so.
Otherwise, Taylor would go crazy.
He's got all these contingency plans,|remember, in case you guys split.
He's worried what it would do|to the town, big anal creep.
There's no splitting happening here.
|Everything's fine.
- Good.
|- We better be going.
- Take care, doll.
|- Talk to you guys later.
Bye.
Luke, it's me, again.
So, another very exciting night|comes to a close.
I don't think you're home,|so I'm going home.
I'll leave my cell phone on,|or call me at home anytime you want.
Bye.
Or just, please, call me, okay? Bye.
Paris? Paris.
Paris.
- Are you asleep?|- Don't turn the light on.
- I said don't turn the light on.
|- I didn't hear the "don't.
" Why would you think I'd tell you|to turn on the light - when I'm dead asleep?|- I didn't know you were dead asleep.
The room is dark.
I'm under the covers|and completely immobile.
- Deduce, Sherlock.
|- You're awake now.
- Can I ask you a question?|- Bite me.
- Were there any messages for me?|- Yes.
Four other people called|and asked that you bite me.
Look, I'm serious here.
Come on, Paris.
|It is especially important tonight that if there was a message for me,|that that message gets to me.
If there was a message, I would have|left it on the message board.
The board is blank and you are not|the most reliable message-leaver.
- No messages.
|- Okay.
I don't mean to insult you,|but are you maybe telling me that there's no message|because you're mad I woke you - and there really was a message?|- Oh, my God, you're annoying tonight.
What's with being all K.
D.
Lang? It was for my grandparents' vow renewal.
- I was the best man.
|- They kinky or something? - It was a cute thing.
|- So, who's the boy? What boy? The boy you're dying to get|a message from.
I assume it's a boy.
- Not necessarily.
|- Well no one called, left a note,|smoke-signaled, Morse-coded semaphore-flagged, or came by.
Male, female, or hermaphrodite.
Okay, thanks.
I'm wide-awake.
It's your fault.
|You owe me Boggle.
- Boggle.
|- One game, and then it's back to bed.
Hi, Lorelai.
Kirk, you're dripping wet.
"Sweat is the curse of the B-Boy.
"|Mos Def.
- So are you feeling better?|- Yeah, I'm feeling fine.
Why? - Luke told me you weren't feeling well.
|- Luke? You've seen Luke? He came into the movie theater.
|I'm on my break so I figured I'd come down|and bust a sweet move.
- When?|- About a half-hour ago.
I asked about you, and he said|you weren't feeling well.
Then he rejected my "buy two junior mints get|a free hunk of onion beef jerky" offer with a disgusting profanity,|then took a seat.
- So he's there now?|- Probably.
Nothing's up with you two, is there? - I mean, he seemed just fine.
|- No, nothing.
Nothing's wrong at all.
Kirk, we have not broken up.
But why are you guys dressed up|but not together? Luke's in a suit,|which seems oddly formal for a movie theater|that recycles its popcorn.
We had a fancy event to go to.
Then I got the sniffles,|and so Luke decided to see a movie.
But now I'm feeling better,|so I came looking for him.
I hope that's true because Taylor|would go nuts if you two broke up.
That's not the case,|so there's nothing to worry about.
Do you think he's still there? The movie just started when I left.
Great.
Thanks a lot, Kirk.
|So I can go in without paying? - No.
|- Thank you.
My towel! It would be a pleasure for me to go back to a society|of really important people.
- What did he call her?|- Nitwit.
- Nitwit? What are they?|- I don't know.
The man's perfect.
I have been wanting to say that all night,|but I didn't have the nerve.
- What are you watching?|- Something stupid.
- I'm terribly sorry.
|- That's all right.
I'd never've brought you here if I thought|they were gonna humiliate you.
I'm terribly gratefuI.
|This is the first time I've ever beaten Cornelia at anything|and you helped me do it.
Man, they sure talked fast in those things.
Yeah, they did.
Fast.
Because you've done something for me,|don't you see? I've been frantically trying to|call your cell phone.
I turned it off.
That's what I figured.
So, do you want to hear my explanations?|Because I've got them.
Explanations, perspective, apologies I've got them all, and I'm dying|to share them with you.
I just need some time.
- Time.
|- A little time to think.
And to process.
Right.
I get that.
I just have so much I want to say to you.
Not right now, okay?|I need to clear my head.
Okay, but you'll call me|when you're ready? - Yeah.
|- Okay, good.
So, I should You're little late, Cornelia.
|I have won the game.
- You have.
|- When do I get my five bucks? Bucks, what? Will you talk to your sister? I figure as your little girls arrive,|we'll gather them here in the living room.
We'll have the pocket doors|to the dining room closed.
Then, when it's time for breakfast,|we'll open the doors and "voiIÃ " - you'll get the full, beautiful effect.
|- Wonderful.
We'll add music.
Have a nice little fanfare.
|You like Yanni? - Hate him with every fiber of my being.
|- Good.
We're in perfect sync.
And then we'll have small-scale tables|set with china and a silver tea service,|little plates, little cups and 12 little chairs for all of them|to sit on.
- That's so cute!|- Yeah.
Wait.
Twelve? I thought there were six.
|Six little girls.
- Six girls and their six dolls.
|- I beg your pardon.
This is a pancake breakfast|for the girls and their dolls.
- Get out of town.
|- I thought you knew that.
Dolls, as in they don't have|stomachs, lungs, or spleens - and we are serving them breakfast?|- That's right.
Teeth, throats, colons,|they don't have these either unless they are brides of Chucky.
Not paying attention to you anymore.
All right, I'll order everything,|and all you have to do is show up.
The girls are looking forward to this.
|So are the dolls.
- I love that.
|- Bye.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
Is she psychotic? They're just having a little silly fun,|Michel.
Girls love dolls, so chill.
I'm making little pancakes for the dolls.
|And I found these little forks they can use.
They do not have opposable thumbs! Who? The girls? Oh, this is|a handicapped group? Poor things.
No, the dolls.
The dolls? How can a doll be handicapped? My point exactly.
They are plastic|and made in Bangaladore.
We're doing this,|so hop on board or hop off.
Okay, you don't need to snap my nose off.
- He's getting on your nerves?|- Completely.
- I'm starving.
|- Didn't you have anything at Luke's today? No, not today.
|There's no food in this fridge.
It's stuffed with food.
I'm talking food that's edible,|food to consume.
- Everything in here you have to cook.
|- I'm a cook.
- Forget it.
|- What's wrong? Nothing.
Luke and I had|a little disagreement last night.
At the wedding? What happened? - Christopher showed up.
|- Oh, no.
- My mother invited him.
|- Oh, no.
And I hadn't exactly told Luke|about that tequila night with Chris after his dad died.
And so I told him,|and there was a big blowup.
Chris went nuts, and Luke went nuts,|and he got mad, and he left.
And now he says he needs time to think.
- How much time?|- He just said "time.
" I hate when men do that.
It's so vague.
I should've told him|when it happened, but I blew it.
Now if he'd just give me 10 minutes,|we could hash it out and be back on our way|and not waste time.
- What's enough time?|- I don't know.
- It's been 12 hours.
That enough?|- I'd say no.
- I'm gonna be distracted until we fix this.
|- Don't worry because when a relationship|is right, things work out.
I hope so.
I heard about this couple|on one of those morning shows.
Similar to you guys, all lovey-dovey,|perfect for each other headed for marriage,|and something happened and they broke up in|their senior year in college even though they were madly|in love with each other.
They moved to different|parts of the country.
- They married different people.
|- They married different people? Had kids, grandkids.
|Then their spouses died.
And they were available again,|and they talked, and they hooked up.
And now they're together and they're happily in love|after 40 years apart.
- That's a horrible story.
|- No, it's not.
What morning show was that on?|I hate that story.
But they ended up together.
Was it Katie Couric?|She seems very dark to me.
The point is that even if it|takes 40 years to figure it out there's still a chance for a happy ending.
But that's all they had, an ending.
I don't|want to have just an ending with Luke.
- I know, but-|- I don't wanna have those stupid kids or those ugly grandkids|with that loser other guy.
You don't know.
He could be a nice guy.
Even if he's a nice guy,|he's not the guy I want to be with.
- You're right.
It's not fair to him.
|- It's not fair to him.
It's dishonest.
We should name the other guy.
|I feel like he'd be a Larry.
- I'm not naming the other guy.
|- Okay, I guess it was a bad example.
- Sorry.
|- That's okay.
But you know,|I read a story about another guy that had a fight with his girlfriend.
And he said that he needed|like a week to think it over and he only needed a day.
And he and the girl were back together|and were happy forever.
No Larry or loser kids or anything.
They don't put stuff like that|in the newspapers because it's not as sexy as a 40-year story.
But it happens all the time, really.
- Thanks for making that up.
|- You're welcome.
I'm gonna go take a walk.
|I've got some errands to run.
Good.
Go clear your head.
|And it was Katie Couric.
I knew it.
Don't forget the raisin bran.
|It's good for you.
Keeps you moving.
Whatever that means.
I just got what that means.
Cognitive skills are slow today.
|Grab some cornflakes.
Nietzsche and Wittgenstein|went ape guano over cornflakes.
So they make you smart,|German, and depressed? Why do they have so much Wheat Chex?|It doesn't go with anything.
Wheat Chex is sort of the|pumpernickel bread of the cereal world.
Well put.
So what combo were you thinking today? Cap'n Crunch over a foundation|of Rice Krispies with a perimeter of Shredded Wheat.
- Bold.
|- I like its prospects.
- I love cereal.
|- It rocks.
- So, you never told me who the guy was.
|- Guy? The guy you were|dying for a message from.
The guy who has you yoked|to your cell phone.
I am not yoked to my cell phone.
|I can't hear it when it's in my pocket.
- God.
Tell me it's not Huntzberger.
|- What if it is? With the hair and the chin|like he's a fourth Bee Gee? I can put the phone away|if it's bothering you.
Don't.
That pathetic boat you're in,|I'm first oarsman.
- How so?|- I'm waiting for Doyle to call.
I expected a call yesterday|to set something up for last night but it never came.
So I ate a family-size bag|of salt and vinegar potato chips and went to bed at 7:30.
- That was the smell.
|- We're better than this, you and me.
We're the children of Emma Goldman|and Hillary Clinton.
Strong, independent.
- We're better than this.
|- Apparently not.
I blame Chilton.
|Great education but horrific socialization.
- We need guidance.
|- I'm not calling "Loveline.
" Rory, come on.
We're sitting|in a sea of expertise in this field.
A college campus.
There's no end|of knock-headed bimbos with tons of dross to dispense.
- There's two now.
|- Paris, don't.
- Althea, Janet, come here.
|- You hate Althea and Janet.
Granted, they know nothing|of Ukrainian politics or the periodic table but when it comes to boys,|they're brighter than the Brontës.
- What, Paris?|- Hey, Janet.
Hey, Althea.
Girls, we have related problems.
|A little love trouble.
- Can we bend your ears?|- Sure.
No, Althea.
Please, go enjoy your Sunday.
|There's no love trouble here.
- I don't mind.
|- I do.
Fine, then I'll just lay out my situation.
Great, 'cause I'm out of this.
Okay, so I've got a guy.
- Blind?|- Can it.
The last time I saw him,|he strongly implied that he was going to call me and soon.
- It's been four days.
|- You ever call him to hook up? - He's always taken the reins.
|- What did he say exactly? "Call you later" or "see you later"? "Call," or was it "see"? - Very different.
|- "Call" is more descriptive.
If he said "call you later" and didn't,|it's an egregious "screw you.
" I'm pretty sure it was "see.
" Then I think you could cut him some slack.
- You like him, right?|- Yeah.
Then call him, but have a reason.
- We're on the paper together.
|- Perfect.
Call to ask for notes, or something,|but don't give him anything else.
If he's into you, he'll take it from there.
If he's not, at least you know,|so you can dump him.
Direct.
Simple.
A clear path.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
|- See you.
- Excuse me.
|- Yeah? - If you don't mind, I'm wondering|- Yeah? I got close to kind of|getting together with a guy.
You mean like "getting together"|getting together? Yeah, but we were interrupted.
Shouldn't he be calling me to talk|or maybe set up getting together? What was the interruption? Mom.
Then Dad.
Then Mom's boyfriend.
- Whoa!|- Poor guy.
- You definitely have to call him.
|- Really? - He might be afraid to call.
|- Thinks you're too much drama.
Too much drama.
You give him a call but keep it casual.
She's love dense.
|Give her specific language.
- "Get together.
"|- Or "hang out.
" That's better.
Ask him to hang out sometime.
|It'll give him an easy out.
If he says "yes," meet up,|act casual, but look hot.
I've got a pen|if you wanna write this down.
No, I think I can remember.
Thank you.
- No problem.
|- Any time.
Styrofoam for brains,|but they know their stuff.
I'm on your side, Lorelai.
Wait, Gypsy.
What are you talking about? - The breakup.
|- What breakup? - Yours and Luke's.
|- We're not broken up.
Breakup, split-up, separated,|whatever you want to call it.
I'd like to call it nothing.
We're fine.
|And what is with these ribbons? Pink for you, blue for Luke.
|It's Taylor's idea.
That way, we all know who's side we're on|without having to talk to each other.
He's a freak, but I like pink.
- Oh, my God.
|- Look out.
Blue incoming.
Gypsy, please, take that ribbon off.
I don't want anyone|encouraging Taylor on this.
It's way too late.
|He's passed out hundreds.
- Hundreds?|- It was no choice for me.
Luke fixes his own truck,|so I make "bubkes" off him.
But you, you don't know a piston|from a pepperoni.
Lots of money in ignorance.
I'm with you.
Okay, great.
I'll catch up with you later.
Pink power, baby!|We chicks got to stick together.
- Lorelai.
|- I'll deal with you later.
Luke.
Hi, I am sorry to sneak up on you|like this.
Please, just give me a minute,|we need to talk.
I have so much to say.
I should've told you about|that night with Christopher.
- I know that now.
|- Okay, I- But I swear, the visit we had|was so innocent.
It was about his dad.
|And nothing happened.
- Less than nothing happened.
|- But you hid it.
I know, and I shouldn't have,|and I am so sorry.
But all that talk|from Christopher at the wedding.
I didn't see that coming.
|He was drunk.
He was stupid.
He's never not stupid,|but I didn't see it coming.
- You should have.
|- I know.
Rory warned me, and I ignored her.
But believe me,|I am never seeing him again, never.
What are you talking about?|He's Rory's father.
- He'll always be in your life.
|- In her life.
Her life is your life.
Not when it comes to this.
- This is gonna happen again and again.
|- No, it won't, Luke, I promise.
God, if you care anything for me at all,|just please trust me on this.
- I've got to go.
|- No.
Wait.
Luke, it was my mother,|you know, who did all this.
She was the one, she caused|all this hateful stuff because Christopher is weak,|and she knows that and I am never talking to her again.
They're always gonna be in your life, too.
|Your mother, your father.
The Gilmores will always be in your life.
- I can cut them off.
|- You just can't cut them off.
It doesn't work that way, and they'll|never feel differently about me, ever.
It doesn't matter, because they're gone.
|That's it.
They are gone.
I can do that.
- Look, I can't have this out, right now.
|- Okay when? Where? - I need more time.
I told you that.
|- I'm afraid of this "more time" stuff.
I'm afraid it'll take 40 years,|and that's not good.
- Lorelai.
|- We'll miss our middle.
I want a middle.
And the town is dividing us up.
|I need that to stop.
- Don't.
|- Luke I'm all in.
I'm all in.
Please trust me.
Let me show you|what a great girlfriend I can be.
But I can't wait.
We can't wait.
I need to know what you're|thinking right now.
Fine.
You want to know|what I'm thinking right now? That I can't be in this relationship.
|It's too much.
No.
- Hello.
|- Hi, it's Rory.
- Rory Gilmore, as I live and breathe.
|- So, how are you? - I'm good, Ace.
How are you?|- I'm good.
Hope your life's been less exciting|since the last time I saw you.
Relatively.
Meaning you're steering clear|of country club dressing rooms? - Pretty much.
|- Good.
Yeah, so I was wondering if maybe you'd Yeah? If you'd like to hang out or something.
- Hang out.
|- Yeah.
- When?|- How about tonight? Whoa! Ms.
Spontaneity! I'm very of-the-moment these days.
Sure, I'd love to hang out with you.
|Come on over.
- To your place?|- Absolutely.
Cool.
- See you in a bit.
|- See you in a bit.
- Yeah.
|- Hi.
- I don't think I'm in the right place.
|- Who is it? - Girl scout.
|- Ace, come on in.
Come on in.
Welcome to my night|of humiliating defeat.
One in a series.
- Don't gloat, Robert.
It's not Christian.
|- Neither am I.
- Everybody, this is Rory.
|- Hi.
I'd introduce you,|but I don't know three of them.
- It's to you, buddy.
|- Joy.
Come on, kiddo.
Sit here next to me.
- Is that allowed?|- I wouldn't object.
Come on.
Be my good-luck charm.
|Did I raise or check? You've been eating out of|aluminum pans again, buddy? - Your short-term memory is nonexistent.
|- Yeah, it's aluminum pans.
Come on.
The more you stall,|the slower I win.
That was almost grammatically correct.
- Two.
|- Goodbye.
- Call.
|- Hold up.
- You look very nice tonight.
|- Thanks.
What do you know about this game? Just what I've seen on TV.
|The Odd Couple.
What? Quincy played it,|but he wasn't called "Quincy.
" Oscar and Felix.
Felix didn't play.
Tony Randall.
|He cooked for them sometimes.
- I am so lost.
|- I know a little.
If you know anything,|you know I need a jack or a 10.
- Pocket jacks.
|- Un-bloody-believable.
- Do we bother with fifth street?|- Let's see it.
- Now you're just mocking me!|- Your girl brought someone some luck.
Two G's.
Ouch.
- That was $2,000?|- You got to bet it to win it.
It's just money.
He's down $9,000 to me from last time.
|Should I send the I.
O.
U.
to your pop? Is that how you want to work it?|Cut out the middleman? Yeah, and I'll send some to your mother.
A generic, unfocused|"and so's your mother" style comeback.
You're off your game, Huntz.
I'll work on a better retort|and get back to you.
- So are you covering this?|- Pardon me? You were at the last|"life and death" shindig, as I recall.
Yeah, but I'm not covering this.
|I'm just hanging out.
Back off, Robert.
She's just hanging out.
- Thanks, kitten.
|- You're welcome.
I love the service here.
- I'm out.
|- Down to the tricks again.
I'm in.
- Don't be a jerk, Robert.
|- What? You bet without looking at your cards.
|Look at your cards.
I don't need to with Rory here.
- I hate it when he does that.
|- You want a drink? - Me?|- Yeah.
Actually, I don't know|how long I'm going to stay here so I think I'm good for now.
All right.
The way it's going tonight I may not last to|the next drink either.
- Can we change the music?|- No.
Since when did you become Tipper Gore? Shut up, Colin.
- She's on her way.
I know she is.
|- I hope she is.
Just hang in there, girls.
|I know you're hungry.
They're getting ready to rebel.
It's just that Lorelai ordered all the tables|and the little china and I'm sure it's here somewhere,|it's just Excuse me just for a second.
|Please help.
You're just standing there.
I'm staying out of the way.
In situations like these,|to not get in the way is so valuable.
Get in the way.
Entertain the kids.
Like I'm Spongeboy Bigpants|or something? I do not entertain children.
I am worried.
She left to do an errand|yesterday, and never came back.
Are you dialing the right number? I think after 10 years,|I know Lorelai's number.
Where is she? I don't know, but she was in charge of|everything, except the pancakes and without her, all we have are pancakes.
- They're expecting games and stuff.
|- Here's a fun game.
Poke out all the dolls' eyes, mix them up,|and try to match them to the right dolls.
- It's still voicemail.
|- Leave a message.
I've left a million messages.
|I'm going to her house.
- Don't leave me here.
|- Stall.
My dolly fell.
Kiss the boo-boo.
What part of the dolly is the "boo-boo"? Come on, I've made my decision.
- I'm in, $350.
|- Call.
I'm gonna raise.
Ass.
Our gentlemen's courtesy|still prevails, Rob.
Fine.
Mr.
Ass.
- Ass, Esquire.
|- He's cracked.
- We've cracked Robert.
|- Morning, there, Ace.
How'd you sleep? For the record, you don't snore.
We'd be happy to sign an affidavit|to that effect for any prospective husband.
- Mom?|- It's me, Rory.
It's Sookie.
Sookie? You're at the house? Look, something happened|with your mom and Luke and your mom's in bad shape.
|I mean, she's down.
I'm here now,|but I think you ought to come.
- She needs you.
|- Oh, my God, is she hurt? - No, not physically.
Just come, okay?|- Okay.
I'm out.
- You okay?|- I have to go.
- What happened?|- I just have to go.
I have to get home.
- To your dorm?|- Stars Hollow.
Oh, no.
I don't have my car.
Didn't you walk here?|You're like 100 yards away.
No, I mean I took it in for|its six-month service.
It's at the dealer.
You take your car to the dealer?|They so rip you off there! It doesn't matter where it is.
|I don't have it.
Which means that I have to take a bus|or a train or something.
- That'll take hours.
|- I know.
I have to go.
- Take my car.
|- I don't want to drive your car.
No, it's a car with a driver.
|I've got an account with the company.
- No.
|- Take it.
I'll give Frank a call,|and tell him to meet you out front.
He'll take good care of you.
|It's a done deal.
- Okay.
Thanks.
|- Go.
- Where is she?|- Upstairs.
Okay, I've got it from here, Sookie.
|I love you.
Mom? What happened? - Luke.
|- What about Luke? He's gone.
He hates me.
|I blew it.
I blew everything.
I don't understand.
What happened? I should have told him about Christopher.
- That was innocent.
|- But I should have told him.
I hid it.
- I shouldn't have hid it.
|- Try to sit up.
- She got to him.
|- To Dad? Who did? Mom.
She pushed him to ruin everything.
|And now they're putting up ribbons.
Ribbons? Who? Taylor, the town.
They hate me.
|They all hate me.
I wrecked everything.
Mom, this isn't good.
|Come on.
Try to sit up.
He said he needed time to think,|and I pushed him.
- He'll come around.
|- I pushed him, and now he's gone.
He waited forever for you.
|He's not just gonna walk away.
It's over.
Mom, this isn't you, lying in bed like this.
|You should be up.
You should go to school.
|Go back to school.
I'm here.
I'm staying.
I really screwed up this time.
- He could've been the one.
|- He'll come around.
Try to sleep.
Rory? Luke? - What you watching?|- Something stupid.
This isn't stupid.
Lorelai, this thing we're doing here,|me, you I just want you to know I'm in.
I am all in.
Say something.
Say something.
- You slept.
|- I guess.
- Feeling better?|- Sure.
- No, you're not.
|- You should get back to Yale.
Rory, you can't just stay here.
Sorry.
I'm here for the duration.
|You need supplies.
I'm fine.
There's no sign that you've eaten|or had anything to drink.
I'm not hungry or thirsty.
If you're staying up here, you need|supplies, sustenance, entertainment.
- So, you're a little thirsty, aren't you?|- A little.
What can I get you? Water? Bourbon? - Water is good.
|- What do you got food-wise? - Not much.
|- What's not much? Like, nothing.
Some moldy bread.
- I've been eating out, mostly.
|- Okay.
I'm going on a run.
I'm not hungry.
I'll get you some DVDs, too.
|Do you want magazines? - No.
|- I'll get you some magazines.
You sure you don't want bourbon? - Honey, you have stuff to do.
|- This is my stuff.
I'll be back in a flash.
- The ribbons.
|- What? The ribbons.
They're all over town.
I'll just ignore them.
Stupid Taylor.
People are gonna be all over you|with questions.
Then they'll feel the wrath|of the Green Destiny.
- You'll get bombarded.
|- Maybe I'll call in some reinforcements.
- I got my cell on.
|- Okay.
Don't go roller-blading or bowling|or anything while I'm gone.
I won't.
I'll take those, miss.
- Did you get everything?|- Everything on the list.
Plus I threw in a few things of my own.
|Some Toll House cookie dough.
Cooked or uncooked,|the ultimate comfort food.
Nice.
- Chocolate-covered matzo.
|- Nice and ethnic.
- And a new toothbrush.
|- Why a new toothbrush? Dentists say to change your|toothbrush every three months.
I'm assuming your mother's|not doing that.
I'm not sure how that's going to help|her depression, but you are a good friend.
You like ham and cheese, Frank? - Thank you, miss.
|- We can head home now.
Very good.
- Was Taylor in there?|- Afraid so.
And he was holding court.
What? He was talking with a bunch|of people about the breakup.
- Big debate going on.
|- What debate? About whether Elm Street|had gone more pink than blue and whether Lorelai should've married|that Max guy when she had the chance.
And he was passing out ribbons|like there was no tomorrow.
Was he? - Hold on, Frank.
|- Yes, ma'am.
Luke I've known longer|because of the diner.
- Lorelai is much later, but-|- Where are they, Taylor? What? Don't play dumb.
The ribbons.
|Take piano lessons or something.
She was so sweet when she was little.
- Got them.
|- My compliments to your moxie.
I've got moxie coming out|of my ears today.
Are they honking at us? They better not be.
|Frank, are they honking at us? I believe so.
I'm in no mood for this! We are depressed.
|We'll move when we move, so stop Sorry.
I'm not usually in a limo.
Heads up.
Man coming in.
The TV! If you won't come downstairs,|I'm bringing downstairs up to you.
- On the table, Frank.
|- Very good.
- Evening, ma'am.
|- Evening.
That's Frank, my driver.
So, I put all the things|you will definitely need within easiest reach,|water, basic foodstuffs.
Then the things that you have to|reach for or stand up for recede in order of frequency of use.
It's not a science,|but I did the best I could.
I'm loving this cereal combo.
Five different kinds, three sweetened with a mix of nonfat milk|and half-and-half.
- It's a Paris recipe.
|- Thank her for me.
- All done here.
|- Excellent.
Anything else I can get for you? - I don't think so.
Thanks, Frank.
|- Yeah, thanks, Frank.
- Wait.
Who's Frank?|- I had to get out here and my car is at the dealer|for its six-month service.
My friend had a car|and a driver standing by so they let me borrow it and Frank and that explains Frank.
- You take your car to the dealer?|- Yeah.
They're such a rip-off.
It says in the book to take it to the dealer.
If it said to drive off a cliff,|would you drive off a cliff? Yes, I would.
- And "they" is a "he"?|- Who? - The "they" with a limo.
|- Yes, he's a "he.
" - Thank Logan for me.
|- Okay.
- Look, you and Frank should go.
|- No.
- Yale's gonna get mad.
|- Yale's not gonna get mad.
Rory, I'm glad you came,|but look how fine I am.
I'm surrounded by everything|I could possibly need.
I even have raw cookie dough,|for God's sake.
- That was Lane's idea.
|- A whole village has seen to my needs.
Go.
It's time.
|Look, I'm sitting up and everything.
Then you're feeling better?|I mean, for real, this time? I'm not 100%, but I'm getting there.
|I swear.
The downstairs is all set, too.
I cleaned up, vacuumed a little,|spot-dusted - and I've checked in with Sookie.
|- Good.
The party for the little girls|and their dolls Michel apparently really came through,|and it was a big hit.
He sang a medley from "Annie.
" Pulled out the big guns.
Good.
Now go! Okay, but I am going to call a lot.
- I'm good with that.
|- I only have one class tomorrow so I could stop by again in the afternoon.
- There will be no need.
|- You can call me, too, you know.
- I know, Mom.
|- Okay.
Bye.
Bye, honey.
And I'm gonna have Frank honk|before we leave.
- Why?|- I don't know.
It just sounds fun.
Okay.
The results have really been tremendous.
We'd love to take your calls|if you're using the products and- - It will make-|- good look at this- - I don't want it-|- it could be- The next morning I read the story- Hey, Luke, it's me.
I know I'm not supposed to be calling,|but I am not doing really great right now.
I was just wondering if Do you remember, in "The Way We Were " how Katie and Hubbell broke up because his friends were joking|and laughing and the President had just died,|and she yelled at them, and he was mad? And he was going out to Hollywood, and I mean, which she hated.
And he broke up with her, and she was really upset.
And she called him and asked him if he would come|over and sit with her because he was her best friend|and she needed her best friend.
And he did.
And And they talked all night and they went out to Hollywood,|which was a disaster but it was good at first|with the boat and in the putting the books away.
I've seen this movie a lot so if you don't remember the|putting-the-books-away scene don't feel stupid or anything.
I was just sitting here thinking|about it because I I'm in my house and I was just Could you please come over? I, please, really need to see you|and talk to you and Please come over.
Please.
Come Oh, my God.
- Hey, Ace.
How're you doing?|- Fine.
Come on in.
Logan, wait.
No, I can't stay.
|I'm just returning Frank.
- Returning Frank?|- And the limo.
Thanks very much.
Everything okay back home? Okay enough.
It was good that I went.
|Thank you very much for your help.
- You're very formal tonight.
|- What? - Just your tone, it's formal.
|- That's how it is.
I fed Frank a nice sandwich,|so he's all good to go.
You ended up being|extremely lucky for me, Ace.
- Is that so?|- I took Robert for everything he had plus everything I owed him from last time.
You should come to all these things.
- Yeah, kiddo, maybe I should.
|- What? Did it ever occur to you when I called|to ask if you wanted to hang out that I meant it should|just be the two of us? I actually wasn't sure.
|The whole thing was a little vague.
- It wasn't vague.
|- No, "hang out" is a little vague.
It's not a specific boy-girl thing.
I can tell you that I wasn't expecting|to be Fanny Brice to your Nicky Arnstein.
But I already had this game going.
|I couldn't kick everybody out so my choice was to say "no" and|not see you at all or say "yes" and do it the way we did it.
I wasn't expecting a group.
So I should've said "no,"|meaning I wouldn't see you at all? - I wanted to see you.
|- That's nice.
I wanted to see you, too.
I just thought it would be|a little more intimate.
- Intimate?|- You know what I mean.
So the only time we can see each|other is to have sex? No, Logan, that's not what I'm saying.
That's what I'm taking from this.
Don't take that.
|That's not what I'm saying.
So we can see each other under|all kinds of conditions, alone, in a group? - Yeah.
|- Good.
- Last night happened to be a group thing.
|- Right.
- So I don't see the problem.
|- Yeah.
No, I guess there really wasn't a problem.
- I'm glad we cleared that up.
|- Yeah, me, too.
I'm going out of town for a few days.
But I was gonna give you a call to set|something up for when I get back - but you called me first.
|- Right.
I'm back next Saturday.
|It's the first night I'm back.
Want to I don't know.
What are the kids|saying these days? "Hang out?" I'm never listening|to the Branford cereal girls again.
- What?|- Nothing.
I'm free.
- No group this time.
|- No group this time.
Good.
So next Saturday.
- Thanks for feeding Frank.
|- You're welcome.
I promise not to call you "kiddo" again.
I kind of picked up on that sarcasm|from before.
There are so many other things|you could call me.
That's an opening.
- Bye.
|- Bye, Ace.
- Luke.
|- Are you okay? - Yeah.
|- You sure? I got here.
There was no answer.
You got my message.
Yeah, I was home and I couldn't|reach the phone so I ran over here.
|I knocked.
There was no answer.
So I tried the loose window,|but I fixed that last week.
And then I realized I fixed all the stupid|ways there were to get into your house and I broke the back door lock|and ran inside, and you weren't there.
- My God.
|- It's okay.
I can fix it.
I'm so sorry, Luke.
|I will never do this to you ever again.
I am absolutely humiliated.
I was hurting, and I knew|if I called you, you'd come.
- I never should have done that.
|- It's okay.
No, it's not okay.
I am not that girl.
|I'm not the one who cries and falls apart and calls her ex-boyfriend to come and save her.
Thank you so much for coming|and for breaking my door.
- You're an amazing guy for doing that.
|- What's that? It's the tape|from your answering machine.
- From my-|- It's the last crazy thing you will ever have to endure from me, I promise.
I just want you to know I heard you|when you said that you're out.
