- I love them.
|- I love them, too.
 With unbridled passion.
 Good one, huh? I love horse humor.
 These guys are the best I've got.
|'Cause they're so sweet.
 Michel, come on over.
|Meet our two new employees.
 You know that I do not care|for the animal kingdom.
 Want me to hold them for you?|I've got a couple of others interested.
 Yes, definitely hold them.
 It's Rory.
 Talk please.
 Hi, Rory, it's me.
 How's school?|You learning stuff? Listen, we have the horses,|Desdemona and Cletus.
 And the first two rides|have to be me and you.
 Hopefully you're over the time that I took|you for the pony ride, the pony was old and it stopped and laid down,|and you rolled off into the ditch.
 It's really not likely to happen again.
 I promise.
 So, call me.
 Tom, how do you like our new horses? Very fragrant.
 Follow me.
 He's real busy.
|Don't judge him too harshly.
 Guys, how's National Goof-Off Day going? That's what I thought.
 We got downstairs hardware|being delivered on Wednesday morning.
 - Yippee!|- Yeah, it excites me, too.
 It would be exciting to have|one of you here to see if it's the right stuff.
 Otherwise, things would come|to a crashing halt.
 I got back-to-back meetings on Wednesday|and one of them is in Hartford.
 I can be here.
 No, I can't.
 Davey has a checkup|that morning.
 - Can you move it?|- This doctor's really booked.
 I can try.
 - Michel?|- I'm at the Tally Rand making the money that keeps me from|having to stand at expressway off-ramps selling bags of cherries.
 Okay, I guess I can move|some things around - What is that?|- That's your phone.
 - Whose phone?|- Our phone? I installed it this morning.
 You wanted your phone running, right?|To take reservations? - Oh, my God.
|- Our first reservation.
 Quick, answer before they hang up.
 - Hello?|- Dragonfly.
 - Say "Dragonfly Inn.
 "|- I mean, Dragonfly Inn.
 Hello.
 Why, yes! We are taking reservations.
 Our opening day is May 6.
 May 8 and 9, okay, great.
 Let me just check.
 Okay.
 You got it, and you're getting our best|room.
 Let me get your information here.
 Yes.
 Okay.
 And your number? Okay, "7873.
" Got your name.
 Got your number.
|Got you down for May 8 and 9.
 Thank you, Mr.
 Turner.
 See you then.
 We're up and running.
 - But you wrote it down on a gum wrapper.
|- So? It's embarrassing.
|This is an historical document.
 Who cares what she wrote it down on? Big Red wrapper.
 Juicy Fruit would have been better? Well, I'm going to go out|and get a value pack for when things really start|getting busy around here.
 Mom, it's me.
|I left you a message at home, too.
 I love that you got horses.
 As far as that pony ride when I was a kid you're forgetting one little tidbit there.
 That pony did not lie down.
 He died, okay? And then the owner dragged him away|by the back legs.
 Every time I use glue I think of him.
|I'll watch you ride.
 How's that? Call me back, bye.
 - What are you doing here?|- I live here.
 But you have Game Theory class|in 15 minutes.
 I thought I would lie down for a while.
 You were up too late last night.
|I should've said "Lights out.
 " - I had to finish my paper.
|- Your brain needs sleep.
 - It can sleep when I finish.
|- And then there'll be another paper.
 - Mom.
|- You know what I mean.
 - You look out for me.
|- That's what I do.
 Go lay down.
 - Yes, ma'am.
|- And stay off drugs.
 What's that smell? It's the smoke from my soldering iron.
 I love it.
 I love burning things.
 I love the hot tip of my soldering iron|as it liquefies metal and singes- Honey, how long you been doing that? - Three hours.
|- Take a break.
 Good, you're all here,|so we can clear this up.
 I found this lying around,|and it must belong to one of you because who else|would have clothing here? I ask you.
 Anyone? - Paris.
|- Anyone? You know, maybe I misspoke.
|It may not be a shirt.
 Anyone lose a car cover? Anyone? Knock it off.
 I'm just trying to find a way to tell you|that your behemoth boyfriend is getting too comfortable around here.
|And I speak for everyone.
 - Leave me out of this.
|- Me, too.
 I don't want to walk into our bathroom|and find him sitting on the john - shooting up steroids.
|- He doesn't take steroids.
 Meaning that unsightly girth|is nature-given? - He must curse God nightly.
|- Enough.
 And the shirt! Stick a pole in it,|Cirque du Soleil could start selling tickets.
 He's big, Paris.
 She got it.
 Why does he have his name|written on the back? So it's easy to check when he forgets it? Although if he checks it while he's wearing|it he'd have to look in a mirror and think his name was Dlobeelk|and get confused all over again.
 Bitter little woman.
 If he's gonna continue|being an unwelcome guest in our place I emphasize the word "our,"|keep him penned in your room.
 - Jealousy doesn't become you.
|- What jealousy? - Break it up, guys.
|- Nor does makeup or a hairstyle.
 - Can it, blondie.
|- You drove your own boyfriend away - so you hate that anyone else has one.
|- Please.
 Why don't you go sit alone in your room|and start getting used to how the rest of your life's gonna be.
 - I'm not alone.
|- Really? Who do you have besides|your poster of Noam Chomsky? - Who do I have?|- Yeah.
 That's what I thought.
 Very sad.
 I'm gonna grab Barbie's neck and squeeze|until her hair falls out and she's dead.
 Are you staying?|I wanted to close my eyes for a while.
 I should just tell her|Asher Fleming's my man.
 So she can compare her circa-1972|Lou Ferrigno with him.
 Then tell her.
 Put this to rest.
 We're keeping it on the down-low.
|You're the only person that knows.
 Then you'll have to swallow stuff like that|and not let it get to you.
 He smells.
 That fat tub of hers smells.
 Did you keep your notes|when you took Major English Poets? - I've got them somewhere.
|- Can I borrow them? 'Cause that means I can skip a class|this week.
 Buys me two hours.
 I taught Asher that phrase,|"On the down-low.
 " - He called it delightful.
|- It's a delightful phrase.
 Maybe it's not Janet's boyfriend|that I can't be around.
 Maybe I just can't be around boys,|because I have a man.
 Yes, that's it.
 Resting now.
 Wait.
 I've got nothing cute to say|for my message.
 Puppies.
 There, that's cute.
|Now leave yours.
 - Hello? Pick up.
|- Wait, I'm here.
 I'm running as we speak to not be late for my first officiaI day|as a full-fledged food-hall card-swiper.
 I'm no longer a trainee.
|After 90 minutes of rigorous training I am fully independent|and in no need of supervision.
 Whoops, sorry! Just ran into somebody, and he's down.
 - I assume you're really proud of me.
 Later.
|- Wait, hold it.
 I'm coming.
 Rory, I'm here.
 Of course, you had to be in a big hurry.
 - It's Rory.
 Talk please.
|- Hi.
 Of course I'm proud.
 Card swiping,|who knew you had it in you? Not I! I'm sorry I can't be there|to witness this moment.
 It's certainly as big a moment|as your first baby step and your first fall on your face,|which came back-to-back.
 Hopefully somebody's taking|lots of pictures.
 Call my cell or call me at Jason's.
|We've got to stop meeting like this.
 Bye.
 Rory, if you're gonna ignore me,|I might as well go hang out with my ex-girlfriend.
 It's the same thing.
 - Sorry, Glen.
|- Everyone is going to be sorry one day.
 Everyone.
 You really gotta stop watching|"Taxi Driver," Glen.
 Did you want me to It works for me.
 Hello.
 Rory.
 Hi, it's Dean.
 Dean, hi.
 - Bad time?|- No.
 I just thought you would be my mom but my mom doesn't speak|in a resonant basso profundo.
 - A what?|- I'm babbling.
 So I wanted to run something by you|to see if it was okay.
 - Sure.
|- You know the contractor, Tom? - Grumpy-puss?|- That's him.
 He's offered me a job working on his crew.
 It's good pay, flexible hours.
 - Excellent.
|- At the inn.
 Your mom's inn.
 - Is that okay?|- The Dragonfly? If it's not okay, I won't do it.
 Why wouldn't it be okay? It would put you and me|around each other and I didn't know how awkward|that would be.
 No.
 Dean, it's fine.
|It wouldn't be awkward at all.
 - You sure?|- Tom knows quality.
 Take the job.
 Good.
 I just didn't know where we stood|after my wedding and all.
 You guys didn't come.
 I'm so sorry about that.
 - It was short notice.
|- And we got jammed on some things.
 But you got our gift? Lindsay spins a salad in it every night.
 That's weird,|considering we got you a toaster.
 - No, you didn't.
|- I'm joshing you.
 I guess I'll take the job.
 Are you still going to school? Part-time, but everything's good.
 - I've got a five-year plan.
|- Five years.
 Cool.
 I've got about the next|two-and-a-half hours planned and then there's just darkness|and possibly some dragons.
 I made the plunge.
|I got my own cell phone.
 I thought you sounded a little cell-phoney.
 Lindsay and her mom|got a good deal on a family plan so I signed up.
 It was time.
 You know,|I don't even know your number anymore.
 - I can give you this one.
|- Actually, I can just save it.
 - You are officially part of my phone log.
|- Good.
 Well, I'll let you go - and I'll see you once in a while.
|- Inevitably.
 You'll have to tell me what|that bass thing was that you said.
 - Something to look forward to.
|- Bye.
 Come on.
 Step up.
 Don't be mice.
 No, we did pick a tile for the|bedroom suite bathroom, I remember Make it a semicolon before the clause|about interest rates, keep reading.
 Eight weeks ago? Ten weeks ago? No, it is okay to end a sentence with|a preposition.
 I read it in Safire's column.
 I don't remember the tile.
|I do remember the color.
 White.
 Safire, he came up with "nattering|nabobs of negativism" for Agnew.
 No, I meant the tile was white,|but the guy was, too.
 Agnew was Nixon's Vice President.
|Can you just please keep reading? Over 200 shades of white?|I did not know that.
 With "sincerely yours," et cetera,|forge my signature and get it out tonight.
 - We'll look at the samples again.
 Bye.
|- I'll see you tomorrow.
 Thank you.
 Okay, I am done.
 Round two? This is very romantic.
 I'm over here arguing about tile you're over there arguing|about William Safire whatever happened|to the cigarette after sex? Trust me, William Safire is much hotter.
 We're the all-business corporate couple.
 Brought to you by Marriott.
 - I gotta get that.
|- No.
 I told Rory to call me here.
 Hello? Guess who's demanding|we all make an appearance at lunch? - Mom.
|- Your grandmother is coming back - from Palm Beach.
|- What are you doing? Your father has to run over to her house|to open it up for her.
 And then she will be coming|here for the evening to berate me and tell me|that my couch has some sort of smell.
 - That sounds fun.
|- She wants to have lunch sorry, a luncheon, the day after tomorrow.
 You, me, your father, and apparently|she wants to meet Jason.
 All we need is that filthy Eminem fellow|to make it a perfect afternoon for me.
 I tried to track to him down, Mom,|but he might be on tour.
 Just be here on time,|and get your hair cut.
 You looked like the bird lady from|"Mary Poppins" the last time I saw you.
 I've been very busy lately.
 I don't care how busy|you've been, Lorelai if your hair looks a mess,|it will be my fault and I don't need that responsibility.
|I'll see you at noon.
 - What are you doing?|- Getting undressed.
 - You were already undressed.
|- My mother called.
 - So?|- I can't talk to my mother naked.
 - How would she know?|- She'd know.
 Is it, like, a super power?|She can hear naked people? Yes, she can.
 She can hear sin and depravity|and all sorts of lustful things.
 Boy, do I wish I could get bitten|by that radioactive spider.
 Please try to work me in.
 My hair is long and unmanageable,|and I need that scalp-massaging thing that Cindy does after she washes my hair.
 It makes me think I'm in Tahiti.
 They put pipes in the kitchen.
|We're almost able to run water.
 Sookie, give me a second here.
 Is Cindy there?|She's usually able to work me in.
 I'm not trying to go around you.
|Cindy and I are old friends.
 They are beautiful pipes.
|The pipes are really big.
 - The pipes will be there in two minutes?|- Sure.
 It won't take long.
 It's an easy cut.
|I'm very low maintenance.
 I might not seem like it now,|but I'd be a delight to have in the place and I'll even dry my own hair.
|I'll bring my own blow dryer.
 Yes? Tomorrow? Yes.
 Hi, Lorelai.
 - Dean.
 So you're working here?|- Yeah.
 I thought Rory would have told you.
 - Rory and I keep missing each other.
|- I'm here, and your hair looks fine to me.
 You're very kind.
 Lorelai, can I talk to you and Sookie|over here for a minute? - See you.
|- Bye.
 Sook? - Tom, I gotta tell you, these pipes!|- She's very thrilled about the pipes.
 They're terrific pipes.
 And you got that|fancy sink coming in tomorrow morning.
 They can't install it until I see it,|because I have very specific sink needs.
 They won't even leave it|without your approval.
 Can you guys give us a little space here? You okay, Tom? - Now this is kind of tricky.
|- What is? - You know I like you two, right?|- We know that.
 I gotta deal with jerks in my business,|yelling at you when it's not your fault bugging you about budget increases|you got no control over.
 You don't do that.
 You always smell good, too.
 That's a plus.
 So maybe the checks are getting lost|in the mail.
 I'm guessing it's like that.
 What checks? Our checks? It's just, in the last few weeks,|we've been having some cash flow issues.
 This is hard.
 - Are we not paying him?|- I've been wanting to talk to you, Tom.
 - We're not paying him?|- We are, just not the way we should be.
 - It's been an avalanche lately.
|- You got a lot happening here, all at once.
 I feel very antsy right now like I just ate some dark chocolate|and drank an espresso.
 Let me talk to Tom for a second.
 We'll clear it up, really.
 Go.
 Boy, I'm sorry about this.
|It's just been a deluge.
 It's the home stretch,|that's usually when a deluge hits.
 I was talking to the bank|about a line of credit - but they didn't go for it.
|- Banks suck.
 I meant to talk to you sooner.
 If I don't get paid, I can't pay my guys,|then they tend to stop showing up.
 - Do you have to shut down?|- I can keep it going a while longer.
 - For the jerks, I'd shut down.
 You guys, no.
|- Thank you.
 Thanks, Tom.
 - Now, hug? No hug.
|- I'm kind of dirty.
 How about if you whistle at me later|in front of the guys when I walk by? - Drive them nuts.
|- You got it.
 I should have talked to you sooner.
 - Are we dead broke?|- Getting there.
 We will start cutting corners.
 I don't need that big, fancy stove|from France.
 - We'll skip that.
|- No way.
 It's too expensive,|and I don't want it that much.
 You have four pictures in your wallet.
 One of Jackson, one of the baby,|and two of that stove.
 You're getting that stove.
 - We could drop the horses.
|- Desi and Cletus? Over my dead body.
 The upkeep is astronomical.
 - Maybe if we drop one of the horses.
|- Who's making that choice, Sophie? How about Jackson?|Would he be willing to put up anything? He just bought a bunch of farm equipment.
|He's strapped.
 Are you suddenly on super fantastic terms|with your parents? If by fantastic, you mean are we as close|as that one-armed surfer girl and the shark, then yes.
 - Then what about Luke?|- What about him? - He's offered before.
|- Out of pity.
 We're pretty damn pitiable right now.
 - He's our friend.
|- He's more than that.
 And he's a hermit,|so we know he's got money and if he didn't want to lend it to you|he would tell you.
 That would be embarrassing.
 More than Tom almost crying|'cause we're not paying him? No, I guess not.
 I'll put my thinking cap on,|you put yours on and if we come up with someone better,|we'll talk.
 - But we'll keep Luke as a last resort.
|- Last resort.
 - This is ridiculous, Paris.
|- He can sit in your room.
 - I'm getting ready.
|- He can sit in the hallway.
 - What's your problem?|- I'll tell you my problem, Andre.
 Last time you sat on our couch, your|mesomorphic frame carved a crater in it.
 - It was like sitting in a bucket.
|- You're so full of it.
 Kids were skateboarding up and down it.
 Gandalf the Gray is still falling down it.
|It was a big hole.
 - What does "mesomorphic" mean?|- Means you've got a fat ass.
 - Just ignore her and sit, Klee.
|- Do not sit, Klee.
 - It's my place, too.
|- Yours, not that Brobdingnagian twit's.
 Everybody I bring here|has to pass your anal standards? He has to pass through the door|without damaging the frame.
 - Forget it.
 Just come into my room.
|- Good.
 - Got another hot night at the library?|- He's still in here.
 There's nothing like|the bitterness of the lonely.
 Nice addition, Potsie.
 Go put on your spinster dress.
 I'm moving.
 Or she is.
|One of us has gotta go.
 - I really hate when you guys fight.
|- Calling me a spinster.
 I should stick a javelin in her brain.
 - You should tell her about the professor.
|- What? What did you say? Just that she thinks you're not dating.
|You are, aren't you? Asher Fleming? So, busy-busy.
 I know you are, too.
|I think I'm coming down with swipe wrist.
 It's like carpal tunnel, only swipier.
|Call me if you have suggestions on how to combat this,|or if you have Jerry Lewis' number his next telethon should be for me.
 - Rory.
|- Paris, you scared me.
 You told - Come here.
|- I'm working.
 - Swipe them yourself, people.
|- What? - You told Lane about me and Asher?|- What? That was a secret between you and me.
|You're the only one I told.
 - I just told Lane.
|- She was blabbing it around our suite.
 That doesn't sound like Lane.
 She probably told everyone.
|Who else did you blab it to? - I didn't blab it, I just told Lane.
|- That's blabbing.
 I told her before she had|any connection to Yale.
 - She wasn't living here.
|- She shouldn't be.
 - What?|- She knows too much.
 - Are you going to kill her?|- No one else knows? - No.
|- Your milkman, your minister? Just Lane.
 I can tell her|not to bring it up ever again especially at Yale, especially in our room.
 - She shouldn't be here.
|- It's temporary.
 The suite's crowded enough with|the four of us plus the Jolly Green Giant and everyone else passing through.
 - You're mad at what she said.
|- Janet and Tanna think so, too.
 - No, they don't.
|- We've talked.
 Ask them.
 - I will.
 After my shift.
|- I know you like having her around.
 That she brings back memories|of those sunshiney Stars Hollow days when you would skip through fields|of flowers and sing Carpenters songs.
 But she doesn't belong here,|she belongs there.
 And do me a favor and stop blabbing.
 Hi.
 - Hi.
|- Hello.
 Janet? Could you stop sit-upping for a sec? I'm done.
 What's up? - Well, Paris-|- Don't talk to me about Paris.
 I know, she said some stupid things.
 - What a tremendous shock.
|- Yeah.
 And I'm a little mad that|she dragged you two into it.
 What did she drag us into? She said that you guys weren't happy|that Lane is still staying here which is weird because Lane|has been practically invisible.
 When she's not cleaning the bathroom or picking up out here|or bringing us coffee.
 And that's not true,|that you're tired of her being here, is it? - That's just Paris.
|- It is a little weird.
 It is? - It's kind of close quarters in here.
|- I know.
 - She doesn't go here.
|- I know that, too.
 It's weird.
 - You guys have all talked about it?|- We thought she'd be gone by now.
 I'm not good at confrontations.
 Personally, I'd vote Paris out|over Lane in a heartbeat but Paris goes here.
 I see.
 - Are you mad?|- No.
 Carry on.
 How was work? Fine.
 Dull.
 - You gonna study some more?|- I'm gonna have to.
 - You look very serious.
|- Yeah.
 - Paris talk to you?|- Yeah.
 - She was very mad.
|- Yes.
 I'm out, aren't I? - It's okay.
 It couldn't last forever, it's time.
|- It's not time.
 - Let me talk to them again.
|- No.
 It's time.
 I can't be here forever.
|I don't even go here.
 The janitor's always here.
|He doesn't go here.
 - He works here.
|- So get a job here.
 - Jobs here are for the students.
|- The janitor's not a student.
 - You know what I mean.
|- So enroll.
 - Go to Yale.
|- Or be a janitor.
 Yale, janitor, in 100 years,|we'll all be dead.
 It's all the same.
 This hasn't been fair to anyone here.
|I need to go.
 I'll go tomorrow morning.
 We used to talk about living together.
|Remember, when we were little? I know.
 It was going to be a house|made of cheese.
 We had much debate about that.
 It was down to chocolate,|cheese, or Brillo Pads.
 - Why Brillo Pads?|- I think that just made us laugh.
 - You brought Stars Hollow here.
|- I'll visit.
 I promise.
 Good.
 Maybe one day we'll live|in a house made of cheese.
 I hope so.
 I love shampoo sinks.
 They're like a hot tub for your head.
 Leanne, don't tell Cindy, but you're better.
|Much better.
 Those hands.
 Not now.
 - Ignore it.
|- It could be my daughter.
 We've been missing each other for days.
 - Sorry.
|- Okay.
 Hello? No, this is she.
 No, Sookie's there.
|Yes, it was all arranged.
 You've looked everywhere? In the kitchen,|near the pipes? Did you look there? No, don't leave, please.
 I'll get someone down there to sign for it.
|Just please don't leave.
 I know.
 Ten minutes.
 Okay.
 Sookie, where are you? Hi, this is Sookie and Jackson and Davey.
|And Davey wants to say hello, too.
 Go ahead Davey, say hello.
 Come on, say hi.
 - He's licking the phone.
|- Don't lick the phone.
 Little Peepers, does the phone taste good? For God's sake.
 I think it tastes like candy.
 Do you want to say it tastes like candy? He waved! Okay, so here comes the beep.
 Shorten it, de-cute it, and call me back.
 Tally Rand HoteI, may I help you? Michel, good.
 Listen, emergency.
|Can you- You are not going to believe this.
 Celine Dion is here.
|I'm not five feet away from her.
 Cool, spiffy, is there any way you could- My heart is pounding through my chest.
 She's so beautiful.
 She's very pretty.
 Listen! She's lovelier in person|than she is on TV, and so nice.
 I've only heard good things about her.
|Can you please- And I have a pimple today.
|Of all the days to have a pimple.
 Michel, listen.
 Can you get to the inn?|It's really important and Sookie didn't show and I'm desperate.
 - I can't get away.
|- I've got wet hair.
 She sneezed.
|I should give her my hanky.
 Forget it.
 I'll talk to you later.
 Leanne, what can you do for my hair|in two minutes? I figured.
 Coming.
 Okay, I'm coming.
 You said you would meet|the sink guy at the inn.
 - I did?|- Yes, Sookie, you did.
 You said you would meet him|to approve the sink and sign for it.
 - Tom could have done that.
|- No, Sookie, Tom couldn't have done that.
 Because you insisted that you had to|approve the sink before it was installed.
 - I did?|- Yeah.
 I did, didn't I? Shoot! Oh, sugarfoot.
 If there was ever a time to use|the real word, this would be it.
 Just call them, and have them deliver|the sink tomorrow.
 No, Sookie,|they can't deliver the sink tomorrow.
 - Why?|- Because they sent it back to Canada.
 - Why would they do that?|- Because that's where its mother is.
 I'm sorry, I got no sleep last night.
 Davey|cried forever.
 I finally got him to sleep and I must have fallen asleep with him.
 Sookie, I was counting on you.
|Now they have to reship it back here which means we have to repay|the shipping fee.
 - Why didn't you call Michel?|- I did.
 He couldn't come.
 You want coffee? I am so tired.
|This is so typical.
 He's always complaining about|not being included and then he finally gets a chance,|and he won't come.
 Sookie, Michel has a job.
|We're not paying him.
 - I know, but still.
|- Sookie.
 Stop, turn, look.
 - What do you think of my hair?|- Too much product.
 Sookie, for the past six weeks,|I have taken every meeting.
 I have been at the inn around the clock.
|I haven't had a second for myself.
 All I asked for was just one hour|to get my hair done and two seconds into the shampoo,|I get a call from a guy who sounds like a "Kids in the Hall" character telling me|to get to the inn to okay a sink that I don't know how to okay|because I don't know what makes it okay.
 You know what makes it okay,|that's why you said you would - be there to say if it was okay.
|- I'm sorry I missed the meeting - but I have a baby here.
|- Yes, I know, believe me.
 - That's all I've heard about lately.
|- Excuse me for procreating.
 - We have a business we're launching.
|- I missed a meeting.
 - Every meeting.
|- I said I'm sorry.
 I don't need you to be sorry.
|I need you to be there.
 What do you want me to do?|I have a baby.
 Sookie, we're drowning here.
 I wasn't|supposed to do everything by myself.
 - That's why I have a partner.
|- I didn't know I was gonna be pregnant - when we decided to open the inn.
|- If you'd known, we wouldn't be partners? No! I mean This isn't the stuff|I'm supposed to help with, anyhow.
 - What are you talking about?|- The planning, the decision making I've never been any good at that.
 My part|comes later, when we open the inn.
 - I need you before then.
|- I'm doing the best I can.
 Fine.
 I have to go.
 What are we gonna do about the sink? - Hey, Luke.
|- Lane, you're back in town? - Well, yeah.
 As of today.
|- You're not staying with Rory anymore? It was kind of time for me to move on,|considering I don't actually go to Yale.
 - You need some help?|- Nope, I'm good.
 - I've been waiting for 10 minutes.
|- Sorry, not even close to the record.
 Listen, I was wondering|if I could maybe get my job back.
 I know I was wrong to take off like that.
|I totally left you in the lurch.
 I'm willing to work overtime hours for|nothing, if you'd give me another chance.
 - Sure.
|- Really? My God, thank you, Luke.
|Should I start right now? - Yes.
|- Your shift tonight will be fine.
 Okay, my shift tonight.
 I'll be here.
 Lorelai.
 I really want to thank you.
 - You're very welcome.
 For what?|- For letting me stay with you.
 - You're staying with me?|- Yes.
 - And I knew this?|- Rory told you.
 - Rory told me, yeah!|- She did tell you, right? - She said she was gonna call.
|- Hey, Mom.
 Lane needs to stay with you- - I guess you're staying with me.
|- Is that okay? - It's okay.
 Make sure your mom knows.
|- I will.
 See you at home.
 - Thanks, Luke, see you later.
|- We'll be here.
 - Sit down, Ed.
 Pigs, gluttons.
|- Customers.
 - How can people eat this much?|- This isn't all for one person, Luke.
 It's disgusting.
 It's making me|sick to my stomach.
 Have you ever thought|that maybe you're in the wrong industry? I should get rid of the plates.
|Make them all strap on a feedbag.
 Hang bells around their necks.
|Enter them in county fairs.
 Come again soon.
 See you.
 Listen, could you hit the pause button|on the rant for just a sec? What do you need? I was wondering|if we could have dinner tonight.
 Dinner? I need to discuss something with you,|and I thought we could do it over dinner.
 - Unless you and Nicole have-|- She's in Boston this week.
 - How about Silvano's? 8:00.
|- Why don't you come here? I can make- - No, this isn't diner talk.
 It's more official.
|- Are you being drafted? - Yes, that's it.
|- You have to wear a tie at Silvano's.
 No, just a jacket.
 You can take it off|as soon as we sit down.
 - Okay, 8:00.
|- I'll see you there.
 - Love the hat.
|- Living on a prayer, baby.
 - Hello, Lane.
|- Hello, Mrs.
 Kim.
 - I'm staying at Lorelai's.
|- Wear socks.
 Okay.
 and I'll return your call|as soon as possible.
 Thanks.
 I'm on my way to my professor's office,|to ask him a question about his last lecture, because my pen|was giving out and I can't read my writing,|which is not at all true.
 However, it will give him a perfect opportunity to discuss my paper|with me.
 I'm sure he's graded it by now.
 I'm sure I'm in for a big, "Nicely done,|Miss Gilmore, how about an A?" Call me.
 - Come in.
|- Prof.
 Gilbert? Hi, I'm Rory Gilmore.
 I'm in your|Tuesday afternoon Game Theory class.
 - I hope I'm not disturbing you.
|- Come in.
 Thank you.
 I was wondering|if I could go over a couple of things|from your lecture the other day.
 I wrote something down here,|but I cannot for the life of me read my own handwriting.
|If I had this analyzed Charlize Theron would be playing me|in a movie.
 'Cause I'd be a serial killer,|and pretty girls like to get fat and play serial killers.
 'Cause they win|an Oscar and I'm sorry, should I go on? Or you can wait to let me find your paper.
 So we can talk about|why you're really here.
 - Okay.
|- Rory Gilmore.
 Yes, here we are.
 Yes.
 Right.
 Okay.
 Good you came in.
 - It is?|- Yes.
 In this paper, you were supposed|to use a real-world example to compare and contrast Classical|Economic Theory and Game Theory, yes? Your paper dealt well enough|with the Game Theory portion.
 However, you then diverged|into a discussion on the pollution problem in Mexico City.
 It felt to me like someone using|knowledge from a different course to pad their paper and thereby|avoid doing research for mine.
 - No, I just-|- I've seen this happen before particularly to freshmen.
 Usually,|it means they're overloading themselves.
 That they don't understand the demands|of a Yale academic curriculum.
 I took the liberty of looking over your|schedule.
 I think that's what you've done.
 No.
 I'm fine, really.
 I just have a little|trouble with Game Theory, that's all.
 I blame my mother.
 She always made up|games at home when I was growing up.
 I begged her for Monopoly.
|But she insisted on - "Mimic your favorite Sweathog" so-|- I talked to your advisor.
 - She has the same concern that I do.
|- What concern is that? You're taking too many courses.
|Your workload is too heavy.
 - I'll try harder.
|- I think you should drop this course.
 You have a couple of weeks|before the end of the drop period.
 You can take the course|when you have more time to devote to it.
 My grandfather took this same|workload when he went here.
 Different people work at different paces.
 You shouldn't compare yourself|to anyone else.
 You work at a slower pace.
 - I don't.
 I'm not-|- The choice is ultimately yours.
 You can stay.
 But this is a D paper.
 This is not a big deal.
|This happens to a lot of students.
 Okay.
 Glad to be fitting in.
 - Hi.
 I'm-|- Get in here right now.
 My granny must be here.
 Jersey, close the door|and get those nuts in the living room.
 I've been alone with that woman|for over two hours now.
 Real arm in the coat, Mom.
 - Your father's late.
 You're late.
|- I'm not late, just in pain.
 - Get in the living room.
|- I can't arrive before the nuts.
 Don't start with me.
 Here she is, Mom.
 Lorelai.
|The party just gets bigger.
 Hi, Gran, how are you doing?|You look great.
 Emily, what is the matter with her hair? I know my granddaughter.
|If she had received proper notice of my arrival, she would have|done something about it.
 - I told her in plenty of time.
|- She really did, Gran.
 I swear.
 I think it is admirable of you|to cover for your mother.
 The importance of family loyalty simply cannot be measured.
 Sit, dear.
 Other than your hair, you look well.
|Are you well? Emily, perhaps the girl would like a drink.
 - I am very well.
|- Good.
 How is Rory? - She's just as healthy as I am.
|- And her hair is perfect.
 And how is she doing at Yale? She's doing great.
 Studying her butt off.
 How charming to hear.
 I'm glad she's|doing well.
 She is a Gilmore, after all.
 Gilmores have always excelled at Yale.
 - They have quite a legacy to live up to.
|- Your legacy is safe with her.
 Mom, here are the nuts.
 Thank you, Emily, for that announcement.
 How wonderful that you don't need|some sort of amplification system in order to make sure|that everyone in the area is informed - about the arrival of the nuts.
|- I'm sorry.
 - Strange woman.
 So excited about nuts.
|- I smell jasmine.
 You smell impatience.
|Where have you been? You know very well where I have been.
 I had some work to get out of the way|so I could devote my attention to you.
 You look wonderful.
|Florida agrees with you.
 Florida agrees with muscle-bound men|who dress like women.
 I am much happier to be back here|where I belong.
 Would you like a nut? They seem|to be very important to your wife.
 - I thought you liked those nuts, Mom.
|- I'm fine, Trix.
 I have someone I would like you to meet.
 Lorelai, have you been there|the whole time? - Yes, I have.
|- I didn't see you.
 I had my cloaking device activated, so - Trix, this is my partner, Jason Stiles.
|- Jason, this is my mother.
 - It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs.
 Gilmore.
|- You are very young.
 - No.
 Not so young.
|- I think I know if someone is young or not.
 For God's sake, Jason.
 Just be young.
 Cloaking device.
|Never leave home without it.
 Richard Gilmore.
|You're growing a mustache.
 I know.
 The Ferrari is arriving on Tuesday.
 - I like it.
|- Thank you, Trix.
 It makes you look like Adolphe Menjou.
 Or Adolphe Menjou's cocaine dealer.
 What is that? Actually, this is a little present|that I got for you.
 - For me?|- Yes.
 - Why would you give me a present?|- Well- - It's not my birthday.
 It's not Christmas.
|- Yes, but- - You don't even know me.
|- No.
 But you're Richard's mother.
 - So I thought-|- What is this present that you got for an old woman you've never met? - It's a book.
|- What sort of book? It's a book on French antiques.
 - I heard you liked French antiques.
|- I do like French antiques.
 You can just open it later.
 Absolutely not.
 I am company.
|You don't answer the phone when you have company.
|So put it away and turn it off.
 Yes, Gran.
 Shall we all take turns guessing|how long it will be before lunch is served? - I will say an hour.
 Richard?|- You are bad, Trix.
 Hi, this is Lorelai Gilmore.
|And you've reached my cell phone.
 Leave a message and I'll return your call- - Hey, you on the phone?|- No, I'm just checking my messages.
 - Anything important?|- No, just a hang up.
 Good.
 You know, I should get a globe.
 Every time you see a movie,|and there's a really important character and then you go into that character's|office, they always have a globe.
 You're hiding from my grandmother,|aren't you? - She is scarier than Nick Nolte's mug shot.
|- Come on.
 Please, she's just gonna ask me|why I got her a present again.
 We have decided to just go sit at the table.
 Perhaps the food will appear|by sheer wish fulfillment.
 - I'll check on it again, Mom.
|- Please don't.
 I wouldn't want to disturb your cook.
 She's obviously|in the middle of a crossword puzzle.
 - Lorelai, where did you go?|- Sorry, Gran.
 I had to check my messages.
 I've got all this construction|going on at the inn.
 Yes, your inn.
|Have you seen this inn of hers? Not yet.
 It's a mess right now.
|You'll see it when it's done.
 - When will that be?|- Soon.
 - I see you measure time like your mother.
|- Just let me check on lunch, please? Tell me, Lorelai.
 How much money|have you invested in this inn? - A chunk.
|- And I assume that you have a projected timetable|for getting your chunk back out? If everything goes as planned,|we're hoping to break even the first year - and turn a profit the second year.
|- That's optimistic, yes? Yes, but our town has a pretty|regular tourist trade.
 Small inns and bed-and-breakfasts|can be real money factories.
 Yes, and wonderful places|to put all those French antiques.
 We have very high hopes,|and we booked our first reservation.
 - When is the reservation?|- May 8.
 - Really? That soon?|- You'll be ready by then? We have to be.
 We had to add|some extra construction guys.
 We'll have to get the sink back|from Canada, but we'll finish in time.
 - How is the money holding up?|- Excuse me? The money.
 I was somewhat aware|of your financial situation before you took this on.
|How much do you have left? Plenty.
 Enough to finish.
 - You're in trouble.
|- No.
 You are hemorrhaging money.
|I see it in your eyes.
 It must be costing a fortune,|to get a contractor to stick to a projected completion date.
|And you're not working now.
 Unless your partner is a Rockefeller,|you are in serious financial trouble.
 Mom, I don't think this is|the best time to discuss this.
 If we were eating, we would have|something to do.
 But since we're not - How could you let this happen?|- How could I let this happen? She is your daughter.
|It is your responsibility to know when she is in deep financial trouble.
 - I'm not in deep financial trouble.
|- Trix, Lorelai is a grown woman.
 Ridiculous.
 This is a family.
 It is a family's responsibility|to make sure that this doesn't happen.
 We have a reputation to uphold.
|How would it look if a Gilmore goes - out into the business world and fails?|- I hardly think she's failing, Mom.
 She looks like she's failing to me.
|And I am surprised at you.
 After all, I helped you out|when you had financial problems.
 - Trix.
|- You made that terrible investment in Dubliners Paper Corporation|when you were first married.
 I told you not to, but you wouldn't listen.
|And of course - I had to step in and bail you out.
|- Hold on here, Trix- You would have lost this house|if it weren't for me.
 That is not true.
 It is not true|that you pigheadedly lost that money? I was 27 years old.
|That is the time to take risks.
 When you have my money to bail you out,|taking risks is not a problem, is it? You're making me sound|like an incompetent child.
 I have built two extremely successful|businesses, Mother and both of them without your help.
 And I do not appreciate you now,|many years later, throwing in my face the fact that you once|helped me out financially.
 Do not raise your voice to me.
 I will raise my voice|if the situation warrants it.
 No, not now.
 You paid that money back|in two months, also.
 That's right.
 Two months.
 How deep|in financial ruin could I have been to get that money back|to you in two months? - I'm leaving this table.
|- Let me help you with your chair.
 - Hey, Tom, is my mom here?|- I haven't seen her.
 She could be inside.
 She sometimes slips in the back door.
 Likes to surprise a bunch of guys|with nail guns.
 Thanks.
 Mom? - Rory.
 Hey.
|- Do you know where my mom is? - No, did you check outside?|- Yeah, I did.
 She's not there.
 - She's not at home.
 She's not anywhere.
|- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
 I can't find her.
|- Well, maybe she's at Sookie's.
 - Sookie's? Okay, I can try Sookie's.
|- Rory, what's wrong? Nothing's wrong.
 I'm fine, I'm good.
|I'm just having some technical difficulties.
 - Get it? Technical difficulties? Very funny.
|- Yeah.
 It's very funny.
 I am very funny and I'm getting funnier.
|Yale is doing that to me.
 I'm just It's developing,|the hilarity.
 Where are we going? - Outside.
|- Outside? Sure, I'm used to working a bigger room.
 - What's wrong?|- Nothing.
 - What's wrong?|- Everything's falling apart.
 I thought I had it all under control,|but I don't.
 What was under control? Everybody else can handle|the classes, but I can't.
 And I'm supposed to.
|I'm supposed to take five classes.
 Everybody else does.
|I mean, my grandfather did.
 How am I gonna tell|my grandfather that I failed? - You failed?|- I didn't even get a chance to fail.
 I had to drop a class.
|I was told to drop a class.
 - That's not a big deal.
|- It's a really big deal.
 I'm not supposed to drop a class.
|I'm not the drop-a-class person.
 - I get good grades.
 I handle things.
|- Hey, come on.
 And Lane, she's not around anymore.
 I know she had to go,|but I miss her, and I liked her there.
 I haven't talked to my mom,|I need to talk to her.
 And she's not around.
|And I'm failing everything.
 I can't do it.
 I can't handle it.
 I'm messing everything up.
 - Just look at this.
|- Look at what? You having to be nice to me.
 I mean, you shouldn't have|to be nice to me.
 I was horrible to you.
 You're married to someone nice|and who's not me and not a failure.
 - You are so not a failure.
|- Yes, I am.
 I just I can't I need to talk to my mom,|'cause I just don't know what to do.
 It's okay.
 - Luke.
|- I was just coming to meet you.
 I know.
 Could we I need to|I'm sorry, I need to reschedule our dinner.
 - Sure.
|- Yeah, I'm just very tired.
 I'm sorry that I made you|get all dressed up.
 It's good for me to do it|every once in a while.
 - It reminds me why I'm not an accountant.
|- Okay.
 Everything okay? - What?|- You okay? - Why?|- Because you don't look okay.
 - Take me now, sailor.
|- I mean, you look distracted.
 Distracted, no.
 Well, maybe.
|Yeah.
 Distracted.
 Okay.
 Sure.
 - I'm very distracted.
|- Anything I can do? There are very few times in my life|when I find myself sitting around thinking,|"I wish I was married.
 " But today, I mean I'm happy.
 You know? I like my life.
|I like my friends.
 I like my stuff.
 - My time, my space, my TV.
|- Yeah, sure.
 But every now and then,|just for a moment I wish I had a partner.
|Someone to pick up the slack.
 Someone to wait for the cable guy.
 Make me coffee in the morning.
|Meet the stupid sink - before it gets sent back to Canada.
|- What happened? I just thought I had everything|under control.
 But I didn't and the inn is just falling apart.
 This has been my dream forever.
|And I have it.
 And it's here.
 And I'm failing.
 I can't handle it.
|I spend every minute running around working and thinking.
|And I thought I would have help but Sookie has Davey, and Michel|has Celine, and I can't do it myself.
 I don't even have time to see my kid.
|Hell, forget see her.
 Just even talk to her.
 And I miss her.
|I sat there in my parents' house just listening to my grandmother|basically call me a charity case I couldn't even argue with her.
|I couldn't even say anything.
 Because I'm running out of money|and I don't know what to do about it.
 I was gonna ask you|for $30,000 at dinner tonight.
 - That's how pathetic I am.
|- $30,000.
 Okay.
 I mean- I don't have want to talk about it now.
|I don't want to think about it.
 I'm failing.
 - I'm failing.
|- You are not failing.
 I don't know what to do.
 It's okay.
 Hi, hon.
 I'm just seeing|if I could catch you.
 But you're out.
 Nothing much to report here.
|Just give me a call when you can.
 Just checking in.
 Nothing big to report.
 Okay, give me a call|when you can.
 Bye, Mom.
