# GilmoreGirls-S05E17 # source: https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=gilmore-girls&episode=s05e17 Ribbons here! Return your ribbons here. |That's right, folks. - Here you go. |- Thank you, sir. Right in the box, ma'am. |Ribbons here! Return your ribbons here! Kirk, stop that. Can't stop yet, Luke. |Haven't got them all yet. - I mean it. Put the box away. |- Luke, you and Lorelai have reconciled. I know, Kirk, I was there. And since you two have reconciled,|it's only appropriate that the citizens of Stars Hollow|take off their pins and start to heal. In my case, literally. I caught about an inch of chest flesh|with this sharp little sucker. - Kirk-|- Lulu, hey! No, Kirk. I like my ribbon! - It's pink. I like pink!|- This is bigger than your love of pink! - No!|- Lulu! Lulu, get back here! Lulu! Wow! Did you see that? You know, if someone opened a store|in this town selling giant butterfly nets they'd make a fortune. - Come on, the crazy need love, too. |- Speaking of which, welcome back. - Nice to be here. |- Want some coffee? Say that again slower|and with your pants off. - What's that?|- My pretty face. - It's a Weston's coffee cup. |- Is it? You bring an enemy coffee cup|in here on the day of our reconciliation. At least I didn't ask you for a favor on this,|the day of your daughter's wedding. - Get that coffee out of here. |- This is not coffee. This is a mocha-chocolate-caramel|swirlaccino with extra whipped cream. - That sounds disgusting. |- It is, and if it was physically possible to make love to a hot beverage,|this would be the one. - So apparently, I've got competition. |- No, it's just a fling. I'll finally spend the night with it,|but then when I see it in the morning with the caramel unswirled,|and the whipped cream unwhipped Bye-bye. Man, that was hard. She must have stretched first. So judging from the snores,|I'm guessing you love the theater. That was not a snore, it was a groan. - It was not a painful play. |- Any play is a painful play for me. That's too bad,|because you're gonna miss out on - some wonderful things. |- Yeah, like what? My mom took me to see|"Caroline, or Change" in New York Tony Kushner's musical, and it was|the most amazing thing we ever saw. Tony Kushner wrote "Angels in America. " - I know who Tony Kushner is. |- So you've seen his plays? No, my mom plays canasta with him|every month he's in town. Tony Kushner plays canasta|with your mother? Badly, but, yes. You have a magical life, Huntzberger,|and you don't even know it. - So, where to next?|- I don't know. Mahjong with Mamet. - How's ice cream sound?|- Ice cream sounds great. Then ice cream it is. Logan, where are we going? Slow down. You slow down, you die a little. Yeah, you go too fast in heels,|and you kind of die also. - What are we doing?|- We're getting ice cream. But the dining hall's closed. |We're breaking in. - That's a very negative way to look at it. |- How do you have a key to the dining hall? I know a lot of very powerful locksmiths. What happens if we get caught?|Could we get suspended? They can't kick you out of school|for this, can they? Hey, relax, look around. For tonight, this is all yours. - It is kind of cool. |- Wait till you see the kitchen. I've never seen the cereal station|completely full before. I'm never here early enough. |I knew they had Cocoa Puffs. - Then go crazy, ace. |- No, we're getting ice cream. There's no rule that says|you can't have ice cream and cereal. Go on, get your Cocoa Puffs. First Cocoa Puffs of the day. |This is a historical moment. Okay, next stop, ice cream. - What're you doing?|- I'm looking for the swipe machine - so I can deduct points from my meal plan. |- You're kidding, right? - The school pays for the food, and-|- Trust me with all the money|my family has donated to this school they can afford|to be out of a few Cocoa Puffs. - Let's go. |- This is fun. You're an easy girl to please. Let's hit the kitchen. - Ace, come on. |- I'm coming. - Looks great. |- Oh, that Ok. Thanks. That's enough there. |Just make sure you get the stairs now. No, those go outside. |Anacencia will take care of you. What a surprise. |A plate of cookies on the coffee table to match the basket of cupcakes|on the reception desk. - Come on, I always do this. |- No, you always do this when a photographer|from "American TraveI" magazine is coming to photograph us,|for one of the Top Ten Inns in Connecticut. I have no idea what you're talking about. You know, I moved the furniture in the|bedrooms around four times last night. - And you ended up?|- With everything in exactly the same place I started with. - The dining room looks beautiful. |- Thank you. And what a surprise. |A cake on every table. So no one has to share. Okay, floor looks good, table looks good. - Hey, what happened to our books?|- What do you mean? All our beautiful leather-bound books. Jonathan Swift, Edith Wharton,|Charles Dickens. - A lot of them are gone. |- The guests must have swiped them. They swiped Jonathan Swift|and left me with "Clifford the Big Red Dog " and five copies of|He's Just Not That Into You? - We've been airplane-booked. |- We gotta get them out of here. Hey, Eddie, will you get these out of here?|Thanks. I'll raid Rory's leftovers tonight. There everybody is. Who missed Michel? - Trick question? How was California?|- You know, it is insanity. - What is different about me?|- You're wearing sunglasses inside? They are not sunglasses. |They are eyewear. Everyone in Los Angeles|wears pairs and pairs of eyewear. - You look great. |- I tell you, I belong out there. Everybody is thin and gorgeous. There's this place on Sunset Boulevard,|Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. And everybody there talks exactly like me. - Wow. |- I got BOTOX. Dr. Wu, she's a genius,|everyone goes there. And look, I got them done|by the same guy who does Nick Lachey. - Okay, gather around. I brought gifts. |- Gifts? Great. The shopping out there, unbelievable. |Rodeo Drive. Dig a hole and drop me in,|even if I'm not dead yet. Okay, for you and for you. It's a smog globe. |They are so funny in California. Well, what do you know?|He's Just Not That Into You. I heard it's a fabulous book, and so true. I haven't told you|the most amazing part yet. You got your boobs done by same the guy|who did Pamela Anderson? No, though I did meet him|at the Coffee Bean. I was at this place|called the Farmers Market and I was just sitting there|minding anybody's business and a man came up to me|and asked if I would like to be a contestant on "The Price Is Right. " - You're kidding!|- I was so stunned. I mean, I never considered being|on a game show but I was finished with my Bo Bo tea,|so I figured, why not? - They just asked you to be on?|- Yes. That's weird. Jackson's cousin Monty|did "The Price Is Right " and he told us that the contestants|had to get up at the crack of dawn stand in line for hours|with hundreds of tourists and then show how enthusiastic|a contestant they would be. You know, jumping up and down,|screaming and yelling. - You don't say. |- Yeah. And they had to wear|embarrassing T-shirts that said things like,|"Pick me, Bob, I neutered my dog. " And they spent weeks studying the price|of turtle wax and Hamburger Helper. Okay, fine, I may have jumped a little,|but I did not wear a T-shirt. Michel, what would Nick Lachey's|teeth guy say? Make fun if you want,|but I walked away the winner of over $100,000 of cash and prizes. - Then what's with the cheap gifts?|- That's not even that smoggy. Why do I talk to you? Why? All right, I'm gonna run over to Luke's|and grab some dinner - and then I will be back to finish the setup. |- Got it. If you just put it in the box,|like I told you to I wouldn't have had to follow you in. - Here's your fries. |- Good. - Where's the rest of your burger?|- I ate it. - I was gone two seconds. |- Ketchup, please. By the time we get the ketchup,|the fries will be gone. - You're right, forget the ketchup. |- Slow down. I can't slow down. I only have 15 minutes|before I have to get back to the Inn. You're gonna make yourself sick. Yes, but my sickness|will remind me of you - so it'll be romantic. |- Romantic nausea. - I get that all the time. |- Hit me with the pie. - What pie?|- The boysenberry pie. - We're out of boysenberry pie. |- How can you be out of boysenberry pie? Because someone ordered the last piece. But I specifically asked you to save me|a piece of boysenberry pie. - No, you didn't. |- Yes, I did. - When?|- I left you a message. - I never got a message. |- I left it on your cell phone. Is that what that|annoying beeping sound was? Yes, it was telling you|that your girlfriend called - and asked you to save her some pie. |- I don't know how to use the voice mail. - You don't?|- Or anything else on this stupid thing. I know how to make a call|and answer a call and then I am out. Give me that. |You've got to learn how to use this thing because it is very powerful,|and wonderful - and it could change your life. |- What are you doing? I am putting my number on speed dial so all you have to do is hit "1," see 'cause, like, I'm number one. |And then I wonder who that could be. - Hello?|- Give me. No cell phones in the diner. - See? Wasn't that fun?|- Totally. - Want me to put it on vibrate for you?|- Your 15 minutes are up. - Crap, I got to go. |- Take a doughnut. - So, then, Sunday?|- Pick you up at 8:00. I'll leave you a message letting you know|your chances of getting lucky. Hey, Kirk,|how's the ribbon collecting coming? - Why do you get him started?|- I think we're near the finish line. - Who's winning?|- This isn't a contest. - I just wanna know. |- I don't care who's winning. - Then you won't care if it's me. |- Of course it's you. You're the one that makes the costumes|for the Christmas pageant. You make the ornaments|for the Firelight Festival. You go to the town meetings. |You say hello to people. You have a daughter who looks like|she belongs on top of a Christmas tree. Everybody knows|that gets you tons of points. - Yeah. |- There's no way to compete with that. - Kirk?|- You're kicking his ass. - Yes!|- This isn't a contest. No, not now it isn't. Kirk, I want a final tally,|because the ribbon loser is buying the ribbon-winner dinner|Sunday night. Loser pays? When did we agree on that? I must have left that|on your voice mail, too. - Hey, Mom. |- Hey. How would you feel|about doing a little shopping tomorrow? Hurt, confused, a little dirty. I need to get a new|back-together-with-Luke dress - for my back-together-with-Luke date. |- Where do you want to go? How about the new place where you got|the scarf with the bows on it? - Yes, cute place. |- I want to go to the cute place. -10. 00?|- I'll be the one holding coffee. So, what are you doing tonight? - Mom. |- What? Are you driving? - Sounds like you're driving. |- I am driving. - You are? Where you going?|- You know where I'm going, Mom. - Disneyland?|- No. - Puppy World?|- You're so immature. - You're gonna make me say it?|- Say what? - I am on my way to Friday night dinner. |- That's right. - You're on the road to Hellville. |- Do not gloat. I'm not gloating. |I'm gloating with hand gestures - Bye. |- and a little soft shoe. - Got to go. |- Listen, enjoy your glazed woodcock with a side of truffled goose head. - What a shame, I'm here. |- You are not. - See you tomorrow. |- Rory, wait, I'm gloating with jazz hands. Bye, Mom. Finish up, Kirk. I'm closing up early. You're going to see Lorelai|tonight, aren't you? Actually, no. She's working. |I'm gonna see her Sunday night. That sounds nice. You guys probably spend|a lot of time together. Yes, we do. And you probably sleep over|at each other's houses, too. Cookies are on the house, Kirk. |Just go, okay? You know, Lulu's my first real girlfriend. I had an imaginary girlfriend for a while|when I was young, but she left me. That happens. I wish Lulu and I could have|what you and Lorelai have. You can have that, Kirk. |You will have it, in fact why don't you leave|and go have it right now? I live with my mother. Apparently,|I'm officially in this conversation. - Don't know how it happened, but-|- My mother is allergic to Lulu. The minute Lulu comes in the room,|Mother will cough and choke and turn red. Her throat closes up,|everything gets puffy. Lulu's tried everything. She changed her soap, her perfume,|shampoo, cream rinse, deodorant. She's actually kind of a mess right now,|but nothing seems to work. - Kirk. |- Obviously, I can't have Mother choking three times a week so I considered constructing|a separate entrance to my room so that Lulu won't actually have to|walk through the house but that's gonna cost about $40,000 because I'd have to break through|a bearing wall Kirk, stop. |This is ridiculous. You're a grown man. You've got to change your living situation. My mother won't move out. I've asked. I'm not talking about your mother,|I'm talking about you. - Me?|- Yes, you. Get a life, get some independence,|get out of there. - But-|- You want to have a real relationship - with Lulu?|- Yes. Then grow up, be a man. I'm not sure I understand|what you're saying to me. Kirk, I have given you the Lincoln Logs. |You have to build the cabin. Lock the door behind you. You're not talking|about a real cabin, are you? 'Cause if a new entrance|is gonna cost $40,000 - then a cabin's got to be more. |- Good night, Kirk. Emily, they're here. Hurry, please. My goodness,|the bag is bigger than you are. I brought you some recent issues|of the "Yale Daily News. " We've been doing|some really good articles lately. And some with a byline|I might be familiar with, I hope. I believe that, yes you'll find some highlighted sections|in your hymnals. - Then hand the bag over, my dear. |- Okay. Sorry to keep everyone waiting. Luckily, we had plenty to read. - Hello, Rory. |- Hello, Grandma. - Let's go in the living room, shall we?|- Excellent idea. Pardon me, Mrs. Gilmore,|shall I put the salads out now, ma'am? - We haven't had drinks yet, Olympia. |- Yes, ma'am. I wrote it all down on the refrigerator pad|for you, Olympia. - Is someone else coming for dinner?|- Someone else? No, it's just gonna be us. "Us," meaning,|just the three of us here, right? I mean, you know Mom's not coming? Actually- Of course we know|your mother's not coming. The maid made a mistake. |Olympia, it was three for dinner, not four. She's fired. Clear that place at once, please. Richard, take Rory in the living room. |I'll just do it myself. All right. Now, I had Olympia write out|the reheating instructions for the goose, and they work. - I had her test it during dessert. |- Thank you, Grandma. I also put some Harry and David fruit|in there. You can eat the pears with a spoon. I'll remember that. |Bye, Grandpa. Bye, Grandma. - Bye. |- Bye, Rory. - That was a pleasant evening. |- Really? What dinner were you at? We weren't exactly sure|she was coming, Emily. I was sure. I don't understand it. |Why wasn't she here? - I'm guessing she had something to do. |- Something to do? What does that mean, "something to do"? It means she had a previous engagement or meeting, a dinner, perhaps. I know what "something to do"|means, Richard. - My apologies, Emily. |- It doesn't make any sense at all. I went down there. |I arranged the whole thing. She got her filthy diner owner back. - What is the problem?|- I don't know. Lorelai is as much of a mystery to me|as she is to you. I made a whole goose|for three people, wasteful. Do you think it's possible|that they didn't get back together? - What?|- Perhaps it didn't happen. Maybe he didn't understand|what you were telling him to do. How could he not understand?|I spelled it out for him, step by step. I spoke clearly and slowly. There's no way he didn't understand|what I was telling him to do. All right, then perhaps he understood|but he simply didn't do it. He's not the most take-charge|sort of fellow, you know. He never did follow through|on my advice to franchise his diner. Oh, my God, you're right. He didn't do it. He didn't go to her|like I specifically told him to. - So it would seem. |- What an imbecile that man is. You gave it your best effort. |No one can say you didn't. - I just don't believe it. |- Don't worry, Emily. I'm sure she'll come around eventually. And then at least we won't have to|deal with them as a couple. Here, let me freshen up your drink. If I still want that sweater in 20 minutes,|I'm coming back to get it. Okay, wait,|what is wrong with this picture? Look at you. An armful of bags and a potential 20-minute sweater|on the way. - Look at me, completely bagless. |- Relax, the day is still young. There are no more clothes|out there for me. The Lorelai look is over. |I wish someone had told me. - That would have helped. |- See? That's what I want. - Come on, let's follow her. |- I'm not following that girl. But she knows where my stores are,|and she looks about my size so if she happens to have an aneurysm|between now and tomorrow night What? Oh, my God, is that Logan? It is Logan. I can't believe it. What a jerk. - Mom, it's okay. |- No, it's not okay. He's sitting over there with a girl. - No, you don't. Get me a rock. |- Mom. I am beating him with a rock. - Mom, stop, it's fine. |- How is it fine? - I'm sorry, aren't you still seeing him?|- Yeah. Okay, so if you're still seeing him,|and he's over there seeing her how is that okay? - Because we're keeping things casual. |- Casual? We see each other, we see other people and that's him over there|seeing other people. So it's fine. We both agreed. Okay, if you both agreed, then okay. - But aren't you guys sleeping together?|- Mom, it's college. - Right, it's college. |- We're both busy. We have class, we have friends. |You know, it's good to - just keep things caj, have fun, that's it. |- Fun, sure, I get it. Friends with benefits. |No problem. I watch "Oprah. " Okay, so, are you sure|you're cool with this? - I'm completely cool with this. |- Okay, because it just really bothers- Mom, look over there. |I think the Lorelai look is back and it's in velvet. So, Hal, what do you think? The living-room/reception area|might be a nice place to start. I really need to shoot the exteriors first. |We're about to lose the light. Great idea. Let me tell you|we are very proud of our exteriors. Why don't I get Michel|to show you outside and help you set up? - Okay. |- No, this is unacceptable. Put your supervisor on the phone now. |Now, right now. Hey, everything okay, Michel? Yes, everything is fine. Lots of sunshine. I'll be right with you. I insist you do something about this before I go out and find a stick|and make it pointy and come and find your cubicle|and poke you very hard. Tell you what,|why don't I just show you outside myself? Okay. Sure, I'll hold. Copy! - You're gonna do it on conference?|- Fax. - That's a look of great determination. |- Yes, I'm determined to finish this piece before my caffeine buzz wears off,|and I have about 30 seconds left. - So?|- So? - Did I see you on State Street with|- Yeah. Right. - So you saw me on State Street with|- Yep. - So?|- So? - Are we still good?|- Absolutely. - Really?|- Logan we both agreed, no strings attached,|remember? I remember. I was checking to see|how well you remember. - I remember perfectly. |- Okay, that's good to hear, so We're not gonna do|the "so" thing again, are we? No, promise, no more so's. - Would you take an "um"?|- Depends. Where's it leading? Are you busy or do you feel like|grabbing a cup of coffee? Why? Do you have the master key|to a Starbucks or something? - No, I just thought we'd walk in and pay. |- Wow. Old school. - Sure, let's go. |- Okay, let's go. Yeah, there, right there. |How's it looking, Hal? I think we're good with the flowers. |Let's start clearing everyone out of there. - How's it going?|- I think we're getting ready to shoot. What are you doing? Just in case he doesn't|have time to get a shot of the kitchen - people will get to see the food. |- You're insane. Okay, we're ready. Well, try something else. |I don't care, just stop it. Block it with your body,|Tiananmen Square, be a hero. - Michel, what's wrong?|- I will tell you what's wrong. Ned the bellman is wrong. He's useless. I gave him specific instructions,|and he ignored them. What the hell is that? No, do not drive that here. It was not supposed to arrive|for two more days. - Seriously, what is that?|- My over $100,000 in cash and prizes. That's what you won? That and many boxes of some sort|of instant-rice dish that I have yet to feel a need to sample. - Are you Michel Gerard?|- Yes. Michel Gerard, I'm pleased to present you|with your motor home. Step on inside,|and I'll show you how everything works. I don't want to know how it works. |I don't want to hear at all. Michel, I don't understand. After I won this monstrosity,|I told them I do not want it. I wanted the cash. But they said they would only give me|half of what it was worth. Yeah, Jackson's cousin won|a washer-dryer on "The $25,000 Pyramid " but he decided to take|half the cash value because he likes to go to|the Laundromat to pick up women. I'm not Jackson's cousin. |I have all of my chromosomes. And I don't want half of the cash value. I want the entire $100,000|that was flashing under my face. Excuse me. |Do you want to know how to use it or not? Because the leveling jacks|can be a little tricky. - No, I do not want to know how to use it!|- Okay, enjoy your day. Drop dead and we'll discuss it. They told me I had a week before|they were delivering it. I put an ad on-line,|and I was going to sell it. And then I get a call it is coming,|and it has not been a week. Wait. Sir, could I pay you|to just take this away for an hour you know, drive it around,|show it the sights? Sorry, once we deliver the keys,|it's out of our hands. - Lorelai?|- Taking care of it, Hal. By the time all this dust clears,|I'm afraid we'll have lost the light anyway. No, we're not losing the light. |We'll keep the light and lose the dust. Sookie, get the dustbusters. |Michel, move this thing. A squirrel got the roast. - Michel. |- I don't know how it works. - Figure it out. |- You figure it out. It's like the space shuttle in here. - Okay, we're done here. |- What? No! Look, it's too late. I can take some interior shots|just for the hell of it. Oh, sure. Sookie, why don't you|show him the kitchen? Really? Great. Follow me. You know, I can't believe it. I can't believe you had your motor home delivered here, to the Inn, today. I was supposed to have a week. I know the world revolves around you,|and we all have to understand that - but this was important. |- I didn't think it was coming today. You didn't think, period. I don't always expect you|to be a great help around here but how about not being|a super-colossal hindrance to us all, okay? Business or pleasure? "SociaI Origins of Dictatorship|and Democracy. "Lord and Peasant in the Making|of the Modern World. " - Pleasure. |- Have you read it? I'm waiting for the film to come out. Yeah, I know. I heard Renée Zellweger's|gaining a ton of weight to play the peasant. Listen, I was wondering if you're doing|anything tomorrow night. - I don't know. Why?|- It's Finn's birthday. He's having a party. |Lots of booze, no food whatsoever. - That Finn. |- I was wondering if you'd like to go. - With you?|- That was the plan, yes. Well, sure. - Yes?|- Yes, I'd love to. Let's celebrate another year of Finn. Excellent. Now, it's themed. Anything|Quentin Tarantino is acceptable and I'll pick you up|at your room around 9:00. - Sounds good. |- Does it? How about that? Hey, Sookie, have you seen Michel? He was arranging a car|to take the Martins to Foxwoods. I think he's showing some people|the motor home. - Now?|- He asked me if it was okay. I told him it was okay. Is it okay? - Yeah, but why didn't he just ask me?|- I think he's little afraid of you. Afraid of me, of kitten?|Was I really that mean? - You were upset. |- I was mean. You know Michel, he likes to dish it out but he's extremely sensitive|when you give it back. - Yeah, I guess. |- You can't even tease him. He never wore|those red cowboy boots again. I remember. I'm sure he'll get over it. You know Michel. Yeah. Hey, could you ask Eddie|to get the Martins a car? You got it. What's the gas mileage like?|The gas mileage? It's 5,000 pounds of metal on wheels. |I'm sure the mileage is fabulous. - Would you take $20,000 for it?|- $20,000? But it's brand-new and Whatever. $20,000, sure. You got a check? Hi. What Michel means to say is that he would happily entertain all offers for this top-of-the-line, streamlined,|beautiful motor home. - I mean, look at it. I just may buy it myself. |- What are you talking about? - Offer $30,000. |- Has everyone seen inside this baby? Because if you haven't,|you need to, seriously. And while you're taking a look please note the plush,|soil-and-stain-resistant wall-to-wall wallpaper that accents the beautiful|maple-ish paneling. Yeah. Oh, that's fabulous. $20,000?|You're just giving this thing away. That's what I was told to do. I didn't know|about the "maple-ish paneling. " Michel, you can't sell this thing|for $20,000. - What are you thinking?|- Apparently, I'm not. Apparently, I never think. - Okay, I'm sorry. |- Whatever. Michel, I was just tense|about the photo shoot and I said things I shouldn't have said. - You know I didn't mean them, right?|- I do not know that at all. I think you do. I think you know this Inn|could not run without you and I think you know I know|this Inn could not run without you. What about your photo shoot?|I ruined it for you, no? We rescheduled the photo shoot. |Everything's fine. I could have told you they'd reschedule. |Everything with you is so dramatic. - So, what are we gonna do here?|- I just want the thing gone. Michel, you had $100,000|flash under your face and the entire world saw it. - Now, come on, go get your money. |- Well Seriously, Michel,|the rube with the crossed eyes and the bolo tie, I say that's your man. He does look stupid, doesn't he? Yeah, and familiar with the ways|of hooking up things to local sewer lines. Go get him. Yes, I'll zero in on him. |If worse comes to worst the woman with the elastic-waist jeans|should be a nice backup. Attaboy. - If I hold out, maybe I can get $120,000-|- Just sell the thing. Right. - Well?|- It's too sparkly. - It's not too sparkly. |- I look like a chandelier. - What shoes are you wearing?|- The pink pumps. - I like those. |- Are they a little too "come and get it"? - Don't you want him to come and get it?|- Yes but I want it to be his idea|to come and get it. It's not the same if the shoes|tell him to come and get it. I really want to stop saying,|"Come and get it. " - Fine. |- I have to get ready. - Going out?|- As a matter of fact, I have a date tonight. - Logan?|- No, Robert. - Who's Robert?|- He's a friend. - Have I met this Robert?|- No, you have not met this Robert. - What's his last name?|- Why? Do you think I'm making him up? I just wondered if I ever heard you|mention him before. He's just a guy I know at Yale,|and there's a party tonight for another guy I know at Yale,|and Robert Grimaldi asked me to go so I am going to go. So, does this mean it's over with Logan? Nope, it just means that tonight|I'm going out with Robert. - And you like this Robert, right?|- Right. You know the party's a Quentin Tarantino-themed|party, and you have to wear costumes - so I'm going as Gogo. |- Because you have the skirt. - And no other ideas. |- Cluelessness is the mother of invention. - Call me after. |- I will do that. This dress is too slutty. The dress is fine. |The person in it, however You're breaking up. |The house is going through a tunnel. You're breaking up. - I was gonna|- I just heard the car, so I - No, but I always|- I know. I should have - No, I should have. |- No. - Okay, this is stupid. |- Yes, it is. - It's not like we've never done this before. |- We have. And successfully. - I made it to the door. |- I made it to the car. - Hey. |- Hey. So, I thought we'd go to Marino's. |You like Marino's, right? - What is this? "Reggae Fever?"|- So? When did you buy this?|Where did you buy this? - Why did you buy this?|- I was at the gas station last week. It was at the register. What's the big deal? The big deal is, it's "Reggae Fever. " - I know. |- When you look in the mirror - do you see "Reggae Fever?"|- It was cheap. "Ja Glory" by Toots Bambada "Lively up Yourself"by the Family Zigzag "Let Your Ya be Ya" by Ranking Roy. " What else am I gonna find in here?|Ganja and a yellow-green-red knit cap? I bought a CD. I didn't adopt|the entire Rastafarian culture. This is so weird. I mean, to think there was|this whole chunk of time when we weren't together,|we were living totally separate lives. I was just working like crazy and you were running around|and buying reggae CDs. One CD. One. I just hate that we were apart. Yeah, wasn't too fond of it myself. All I can say is,|you're lucky I'm back in your life because clearly you were lost without me. And it's a miracle you're even still alive. Right? You bet. Not a moment too soon. No, thanks. I think I'm gonna try to get through|the doorway first. Novel approach. |You're gonna be an interesting date. - Robert. |- What are you? - Dead extra number two. |- Brilliant, my friend. Happy birthday, Finn. |You owe me $40. Maybe for my birthday|you'll forgive me that. Does your father have any idea what a toll his cross-dressing|took on your psyche? - That was your father, Finn. |- You're right. My God, that explains a lot. - Do I know you?|- Rory Gilmore, Finn. Pleasure to meet you. |All right, children, drink and be merry for tomorrow|we will all be in a great deal of pain. Thank you, darling. Your name and your phone number|would also be appreciated. - Finn's quite an original. |- Yes, he is. - Have I told you I like your costume?|- No, you didn't. All right, did that count, or are you|expecting me to say it again? - I think we're good. |- Let's get a drink. Hey, Colin, where's your date? I went to pick her up, the door opens,|and she's dressed like Mira Sorvino. How do you dress like Mira Sorvino? You have blond hair and a name tag|that says, "Mira Sorvino. " I just turned around and left. Well, the gang's all here. - Robert, good to see you. |- Hello, Logan. - Rory, I like the costume. |- I like yours, too. This is Whitney. Whitney, Robert, Rory. |You know Colin. - Hi. |- Whitney, is your friend Josie here? Yeah, she's over there with the guy|dressed like Harvey Weinstein. Perfect. I'll see you later. - Leave her alone, Colin. |- Yes, of course. - So, good party?|- Seems like it. - Music's cool. |- Very cool. We're just heading over to the bar. |Can we get you two anything? - No, we're just gonna take a look around. |- Okay, we'll catch you later. Sounds good. - Hey, Robert?|- Yes? What's your last name? My God, turn that off. Getting to you, huh? They keep playing that same song|over and over and over. I've got news for you. |That was not the same song. - My God, you're kidding. What was that?|- I don't know. - Sounds like it came from the garage. |- There's someone in my garage? Weird time for gardening, isn't it? - Could be, like, a raccoon. |- Hey, don't shovel the raccoon. - Just stay back, will you?|- Luke, you can't hurt a raccoon. They're cute. They have face masks|like little furry burglars. And sharp teeth that chew|through your wiring, and rabies. - I'm not gonna hit it. I'm gonna scare it. |- Why don't you play it your "Reggae Fever?" Do you see it? - It's one hell of a raccoon. |- Shovel up. I probably should be more surprised|than I am, right? - Kirk, wake up. |- And he's naked. - Oh, Kirk. Jeez. |- Where am I? - You're in my house, Kirk. |- You're in my boat, Kirk. - I'm exposed. |- We know, Kirk. Let's do something about that, huh, Kirk? I'm good now. Kirk, what you doing here? - I left Mother's. |- No. Did you have a fight? Did she take away|your Beach Boys album again? No, I just got so excited about|the thought of a new life you know of striking out on my own|and being my own man. Right, Luke? - "Right, Luke?"|- So I did it. I packed my clothes,|and I gave my mother my key and I said goodbye, and I left. Kirk, that's a big deal,|you leaving like that. I know it is,|but Luke explained to me that if I really want to move to the next level|with Lulu and have a real grown-up relationship|with sleepovers and everything - then I had to get out. |- I don't think that's exactly what I said. Yes, it was,|and I felt really good about it until I realized that I had no place to go. I probably should have found|an apartment first. - Probably. |- You can stay in Rory's room. - Really?|- Really? Just for tonight. |We'll find you someplace tomorrow. Okay. You know, I think you've got a raccoon|in here. Just go on in the house, Kirk. - What were you thinking?|- Kirk was at the diner talking about how he wished how he and Lulu had what|we have, and I just mentioned- Are you insane? Everybody knows|you can't mention anything to Kirk. I was cornered. I was tired. |I wanted to go to sleep. Now we have to go in there|and take care of him. - He is now our responsibility. |- But- Pottery Barn, baby. |You break it, you buy it. Jeez. My entire goal in life|is to outlive my brother inherit the family fortune,|put all my sisters out on the street and live as frivolously as possible have numerous wives,|thousands of illegitimate children and die completely alone,|and leave every cent - to a parrot named Polly. |- That's your entire goal in life? Except for the name of the parrot,|I stick to everything I just said. You're a fascinating specimen, Robert. - Josie's a lesbian. |- You struck out, Colin? - Whatever. Is Lydia here?|- Yes. She's here with Patrick, her fiancé. God, I hate these stupid,|incestuous parties. It's the same people over and over. - Who's as drunk as I am?|- No one since Spencer Tracy died. Are there any interesting women|here at all? - Have you tried Josie?|- I'm getting a drink. All righty. I have to go make the rounds. - Have I met you yet?|- Several times. All right, then. So, how about that drink? - Nothing too strong. |- See what I can do. - Hey, Ace, having a good time?|- I am, thanks. Good. That's good. Me, too. |I'm having a good time, too. - Good. |- Yes, it is good. I didn't know you knew Robert. I met him|at the Life and Death Brigade gathering. - And the poker game. |- Oh, right. Right, he must have made|quite an impression. - He just asked me out is all. |- Sure. - He's kind of a jerk. |- Excuse me? Robert. He's kind of a jerk. |Have you noticed he's kind of a jerk? No. - Night's young. Okay, come on. |- Where are we going? Logan? - You look great. |- Thank you. - Logan, stop. |- Right. So, how you been? - I've been fine. |- Good. School's good? - School's hard. |- It's supposed to be hard. It's grooming you for life. |Making you an upstanding citizen. - God-fearing Christian. |- Habitual recycler. - We can't do this here, Logan. |- You're right. Let's go. - Go where?|- Your place, my place. Let's take a train to New York,|spend the night in the Plaza. We can't just leave. We have dates. - I don't like this. |- Like what? - You here with Robert. |- You're here with Whitney. - I know. |- So, what's the problem? The problem is you're here with Robert,|and it's bothering me. - I don't like that it's bothering me. |- Sorry. Do you want us to leave? - No, I want us to leave, you and me. |- I can't do that. You want to spend the night with Robert,|instead of me? - I came here with Robert. |- So dump Robert. - I hate Robert. |- He's your friend. So what? I still hate him. - Logan, you're the one who said-|- I know what I said. Okay, then, I have to go. I have a date. |Enjoy the rest of the party. There's nothing in here but ice cream,|candy bars, cookie dough, canned frosting. - Why are you not 450 pounds?|- Scientists call it the Lorelai paradox. - Who you calling?|- No one. Just seeing if Rory left a message. Who's washing those? Why, was she supposed|to leave a message? No, I was just hoping. We out of plastic? Why were you hoping?|Everything okay with her? Yeah, she just had a date tonight. |Get four. Those tend to break. - Is she out with that Logan kid?|- No, Robert. - Who's Robert?|- I know nothing about him except his last name is Grimaldi. - When did she break up with Logan?|- She didn't. - I don't understand. |- It's college. - What the hell's that mean?|- It means, "Butt out, back off "none of your business. " Rory suddenly decided she's "Dating Girl. " That's okay, right?|Isn't that what kids are supposed to do? It's just It's not Rory. I don't think|it's what is gonna make her happy. It seems wrong for her. - You said something to her?|- No. She's been so chatty lately wanting to be able to talk about Logan|and her life, so - Now I just don't know what to do. |- You talk back. I am, but I feel like|I need to be really careful what I say. - Oh, come on. That's ridiculous. |- She's not at home anymore. - She's on her own. |- Doesn't matter. It matters a little. There have been very few times|in our relationship when I ever played the Mom card but I always had it there|in my back pocket. And when I used it, she had to hear|and take it because she lived here. And even if she didn't like it|or even if she got mad the worst that would happen|is she would run into her room and slam the door and blast the jam. |But then in the morning I controlled the bathroom,|and the Pop-Tarts and she had to deal with me. Eventually, we'd make up, and it was over. |But now - Nothing's different. |- Of course it's different. She's on her own. |She's making her own decisions. My mom card's looking a little flimsier,|and I don't know how much to say to her. If she doesn't want to hear it,|she doesn't have to take it. - She doesn't have to call or come home. |- She'll call. She'll come home. Yeah, I hope so. I don't know. - Do we lock the front door?|- I'll be right back. Kirk! Get back here, Kirk. What on earth is wrong with you|besides the obvious lack of fashion sense? What are you- I told you to get back together|with Lorelai. I told you exactly what to do|and exactly what to say. - What do you need, a cheat sheet?|- Emily, I Some flash cards,|some "Sesame Street" characters - to sing a song about it?|- Look. Do you think it was easy for me|to come to you like that? Do you think I enjoyed it? Like I was just sitting around my house,|thinking, "What shall I do tonight? "I know. I can drive to Stars Hollow "and humiliate myself|at the local greasy spoon. " - Okay, I'm in the middle of-|- I don't care what you're in the middle of! My family is being torn apart,|because, for some reason you aren't capable of taking|simple instructions and putting your relationship|back together! - Hello?|- Just because you run a diner and have mastered the art|of the blank stare does not mean it's going to work with me! And Richard went through a great deal|of trouble to set the whole thing up and you never even called Herb Smith. Apparently, you can't follow through|with anything, not even a razor! Mom, what are you doing here? I'm having what I'm sure|will turn out to be yet another fruitless conversation|with this man. - I'm sorry, Luke. I'm really, really sorry. |- It's okay. Mom, go home. You have no right|to barge in here and cause a scene. I have something I want to say. No. We don't want to hear|what you have to say. We just want you|to please butt out of our lives. Our lives? So, there's an "our lives"? - Are you two back together?|- Yes. We are. So you did go to her, just like I told you to. We got back together because|we wanted to get back together. Then I simply don't understand. If you're together,|then what's the problem? - What are you talking about?|- Why won't you come to Friday dinner? Whatever happened between|the two of you, I obviously fixed it. You fixed it? You broke it. Just because Luke and I|found a way to repair the damage doesn't erase the fact that it happened. - What I did, I did out of concern. |- Oh, please. As your mother,|I have the right to be concerned especially when it looks like|you're taking your life down a completely disastrous path. |I had to jump in. - Mom!|- Lorelai! Please hear me. If I want your input in my life|in any way, shape, or form, I will ask for it. Until then, do us all a favor and shut up! I got to say, I'm suddenly a big fan|of the speed dial. - Hey, kid, What's going on?|- I just got a call from Kirk. He wanted to know|if he could crash at my dorm. - Oh, boy. |- How did he get my number? - He probably got it off the fridge. |- Okay. - And what was Kirk doing near our fridge?|- It's a long story. Okay, well, tell me later. I want to hear|how the back-together date went. - It was very successful. |- Did he like the dress? - The dress was a hit. |- I told you. - And how was your date with Robert?|- Completely insane. - You won't believe the evening I had. |- Tell me. So, Robert and I get to the party,|and Logan was there. And at first,|everything was completely caj and then as the evening went on,|he got more and more jealous. - Really?|- Oh, yeah. He wanted me to leave with him,|blow off Robert. - And did you?|- No, of course not. I told him that I came with Robert|and I was leaving with Robert. - And then I walked away and it was great. |- Sounds great. And since then, by the way,|Logan has called twice today. We're going out tonight and we've already made plans|for this week. Complete and total turnaround. Well, sounds like all the balls|are in your court or - Well, you know what I mean. |- You okay? You sound down. No, I'm fine. |What are you gonna wear tonight? I thought I'd go with|the 20-minute sweater. Oh, cute. The answer is no. Look, Jerry, I sold you the motor home. |It is now yours. I'm a very busy man. |I do not have time for all this. All right, for $20,|I will measure the shower for you. No, that is on top of the $40|for the cupboard space and the pullout table. Well, I'm sorry if you're feeling ripped off. I can call elastic-pants lady and see if she'd like|to take the motor home off your hands. I thought so. Hold on. English
