[ knock on door ]

Hey.
Hey, back.

Ready?
Almost.

I just have to find my keys
And finish the laundry.

That doesn't sound like
"Almost."

Sounds like we're gonna have to
Speed to the movies,

Park illegally,
And you hit the bathroom

While I grab the popcorn.

We'll meet back at the seats
All sweaty and aggravated.

Of course I'll be aggravated.
You forgot the red vines.

No. No keys here.

The lights are on
In your jeep.

Oh, yeah.

The porch light's out,
And it was dark,

So I left the jeep on
For the light.

But the battery's gonna die.

No, I timed it.

It takes 12 hours for
The battery to wear out.

I go to work at 8:00,
Giving me 2 hours to spare

And a whole day to recharge.

Not here, either.

Why don't you just change
The porch light?

Have you seen how dirty
It is up there

With those creepy moths
That fly in your face?

And you could swallow one

And end up
With weird moth disease.

There's no such thing.

Did you see
"Mothman prophecies"?
Yes.

Oh. Did you see
The sequel?

There's a sequel?

Yes.
It is a heartbreaking saga

In which richard gere
Gets a life-threatening disease

From changing
A dirty porch light.

There was no sequel.

It's still really gross
Up there.

How long has it been out?

Since rory broke up
With dean the first time.

Not the sequel.

He was the last one
To change it.

Jess never changed the porch
Light, by the way.

Okay, this room is definitely
Keyless. Kitchen.

You left your keys
In the stove?

No. My socks.

Your socks.
Of course.

How naive of me.

It makes them warm
And slightly toasty.

That's weird.

What's weird?
There's so much to choose from.

They're still damp.
I followed the recipe --

Bake at 250, 10 minutes
One side, 10 the other.

They should be done by now.
You think my oven's broken?

What about your dryer?

The dryer's fine.

I think we should get
To the movies.

Keys.

Just leave the door
Unlocked.

That's not safe.
Sure it is.

Just because you say it's safe
Doesn't make it safe.

Have you checked out
By the...

The keys are in the door.

That's right.
I had to go in the back way

Because the porch light
Was out.

They're stuck.

Yeah, yeah, that happens.

There.

You ready?

I can never pick you up
Here again.

* if you're out
On the road *

* feelin' lonely
And so cold *

* all you have to do
Is call my name *

* and I'll be there
On the next train *

* where you lead,
I will follow *

* anywhere that you tell me to

* if you need

* if you need

* you need me to be with you

* I will follow

* oh, oh, oh

* where you lead,
I will follow *

* any, anywhere
That you tell me to *

* if you need

* if you need

* you need me to be with you

* I will follow where you lead

I had a dream
About you last night.

If this gets dirty, feel free
To keep it to yourself.

I dreamt that
In spite of the fact

That you knew I wanted to be
Assigned the religion beat,

You went to doyle, cooked him
Dinner, and stole it from me.

It's just a dream, paris.

You made veal parmesan,
And it felt very real.

I don't make veal parmesan.

I don't make anything, and I
Don't want the religion beat.

I want features.
You know that.

You say you want features.

Dreams tell you things.

It's our subconscious
Talking to us -- warning us,

Telling us about things
That are happening.

My dream was telling me

That you were stabbing me
In the back with your veal.

I must have really
Overcooked it, then.

Let me smell your hands.
You used a lot of garlic.

Rory, listen to me.

We're close, like friends,
And I would hate for something

As trivial as competition
For the religion beat

To come between us.

We could end up
Like the van burens.

As in
Mr. And mrs. President?

As in abby and ann.

Sisters in blood,
But bitter rivals.

They don't even speak
Anymore.

That's 'cause
One of them's dead.

You don't want
The religion beat?

Oh. I'm sorry.
You meant the religion beat.

No! I don't!

Sanora thomas
Was in my dream, too.

She was pouring the wine.
Yo, sanora!

Where's the fire?

Hey, rory,
Did you see this?

It's no big deal.

Glenn got himself published
In "The new york times."

You're kidding.

It's no big deal.

"It's no big deal,"
He says.

This is the article
You wrote

About the reprinting
Of the anarchist cookbook.

"The times" picked it up.

They do that
Every now and then.

They pick up something,
And they publish it.

That's what they did
With our boy glenn here.

Please don't pat
My back again.

Congratulations, glenn.

Don't say it loud.
People are looking.

It's not even
My best piece.

It's still pretty amazing.

It is amazing.

It's absolutely amazing that
I spent all summer in indiana

Working my ass off with
The "Muncie messenger,"

And you went from "Star trek"
Convention

To boba fett fan club symposium,
And, yet, looky here.

"The new york times."
Isn't that great, rory?

Aren't you seeing
How great it is?

Look, get off my bus, okay?
I don't know why they picked it.

I didn't ask them to pick it.

I don't even read
"The new york times."

You don't read --

Well, glenn, it's great,

And we're all just
Really happy for you.

[ cellphone ringing ]

Man, it's rw apple
Again.

God, does he have anyone
Else to talk to?

What?

It's like "Being there."
He's chauncey gardiner.

Doyle,
You edited that piece.

And if it hadn't been
Edited well,

"The times" never
Would have picked it.

Oh. That's a great way
To look at it.

Thank you.

It's because of me that
He's gonna be bob woodward.

I made it happen.

So someday when I'm running
The circulation department

At the "Muncie messenger"

And glenn is accepting
His pulitzer prize,

I can point up at the screen
At the local bar

Where I regularly stop
On my way home to get drunk

And say, "I helped him
Get there."

Then I can fall off the stool
And throw up.

Thank you so much for that,
Gilmore.

I never would have thought
To look at it that way

If it hadn't have been
For you.

[ sighs ]

[ cellphone ringing ]

Hey, mom.

How are you?
Do you want to laugh?

Laughing would be good.

Luke did the funniest bit
Before.

I did not do a bit.

What are you talking about?
The bit -- it was a riot.

It wasn't a bit.

I banged my head on the stove,
And it hurt like hell.

No, you said it funnier before.
Do it again.

I never did it
In the first place.

How could it be my bit when
It's your head in the oven?

Exactly. My head,
My conk, no bit.

Did you call
For any particular reason?

Just checking in.
How are you doing?

I'm fine.

What's wrong?

What makes you think
Something's wrong?

You got bambi voice.
I do not have bambi voice.

Spill, please.

I'm just really behind.

I'm behind at the paper --
Way, way behind at the paper.

Everyone else had these
Amazingly productive summers --

Internships at hometown papers,

Getting articles reprinted
In "The new york times."

And me -- the person

Who's been talking about being
A journalist her entire life --

What did I do?
I wasted two whole months

Running away to europe
With grandma.

Whoa. Slow down.
First of all, europe, waste?

You had valuable experiences --
The architecture, the food,

Seeing my mother without
Her makeup on in the morning.

But this is the time for work,
For learning.

I didn't even consider
An internship anywhere.

I was so wrapped up
In my own personal whatever.

I can't believe I did this.

Let's take a step back here.
You say you're behind.

I am behind.

So, you'll catch up.

You say that like it's easy.

No, I say that like it's
What you're going to do.

You've done it before.

You were behind at chilton,
And then you hit a deer,

And everything was fine.

The two incidents were
In no way connected.

That was high school.

This is college -- a very big,
Important college.

Different school,
But same rory.

You're great
At the catch-up thing.

You're the catch-up girl, not to
Be confused with ketchup girl,

Because that's not you
At all.

You were strictly
A mustard-and-relish girl.

A little condiment humor
For you.

I'm really gonna have to work
Constantly.

Maybe I'll look for something
Part time at a local paper.

Or you could work
For a fishmonger.

'cause there's lots
Of newspapers there.

Ow! Jeez!
What the --

[ laughing ]
He did it.

He did the bit.
Luke, do it again.

Do it louder for rory.

Hey, mom.
You sound happy.

I am, kid.

What?

Mr. Mailer, it's just
Such a great honor

To be doing this interview.

Can I give you a tip?

Yes, sir.

I wouldn't start that way
For a simple reason.

I don't trust compliments.

I've been getting them
For years.

Sometimes I deserved them,
And sometimes I didn't.

But generally when people
Give you a compliment,

There's one or two things
Wrong with them.

Either they are false,

Or what's worse
Is they're sincere.

They really mean
The compliment.

And then they're offering you
Their loyalty.

I'm kind of a stingy,
Cold fella,

And I don't want to give
All that loyalty back.

So either way, let's skip
The compliments.

What are you working
On now?

I'm gonna keep saying no
To you.

I can't tell you
What I'm working on.

I never tell anybody
What I'm working on.

A novel is like
A secret affair,

And you don't bring
Other people in on it.

Norman mailer's back
For the third time this week.

Yep. Sure is.

I've got to call
And tell rory.

She read
"The naked and the dead"

While she was still wearing
Footsie pajamas.

Chicken's burning.

This is our first step
On the road to being saloned.

As soon as word gets out

That norman mailer is having
Lunch at the dragonfly,

It's just a matter of time

Before the rest of the literati
Come sweeping in.

Of course, we'll have
To keep gore vidal

On the other side
Of the room.

But probably
Gabriel garcia marquez

Will run interference for us.

Butter bath, boys!
Butter bath!

Everything okay?

Sure.
I'm thrilled and delighted

That norman mailer is coming
In here every day

And sitting at a table

And ordering nothing
At all but tea!

Tea?

Ice tea.
Glass after glass after glass.

I'm sure he orders
More than ice tea.

Are you, now?

You make great ice tea --
Legendary.

So can you blame him?

When billy joel came into
The independence inn,

He would pack it away --

Appetizers, main course,
Two, three desserts.

That was a man
That knew how to eat.

And he was almost
Able to hide it.

Yes, but have you ever read
His novels?

This is a restaurant,
Not a coffee shop.

We're the cool place where
Norman mailer likes to hang.

It'll give us street cred,
You'll see.

Fine.

Need some more ice tea.

Gee, I wonder
Who that's for.

Lina, economic development.
Sang, woodbridge hall.

Benji, legal issues.
Paris, religion beat.

Me? Really?
Huh. I hadn't thought.

All right.

Jerry, city arts.
Rory, features. Glenn, crime.

Hmm.

What, glenn,
You don't want crime?

Maureen dowd
Told me it's all the same,

Not that that big flirt

Has any idea
What she's talking about.

All right. That's it.

Congratulations if you got want
You wanted.

And if you didn't,
I could care less.

Doyle, thank you so much
For the features beat.

I can't tell you
How excited I am.

Then please don't try.

I'm gonna kick butt.
You just wait and see.

You're a reporter now.
Learn to say "Ass."

I'll work on that.

Listen, I have about a million
Ideas for my first story,

So I was wondering if I could
Run some of them by you,

See what you think.

Two minutes. Go.

First I thought I could do
An update

On unionizing
The janitorial staff --

You know, a classic power
Struggle --

Haves versus the have-nots.

Or -- and I already have a
Headline for this one --

"Yale's liberal activist
Network --

A thing of the past?"

Catchy. Catchy.

Then there's the issue

Of illegal music downloading
On campus,

Which I imagine is a major --
Oh, no.

What?

He's back.

Bye.

Well, doyle, my friend.

You're looking very well.
How you been?

I've been great, logan.
It's great to have you back.

I stayed away as long
As I could,

But the "Yale daily news" --
It called to me.

So, how's everything?
How's the family?

Everything's fine.
A family's a family.

Ah, my desk -- beautiful.

You know, logan,
I actually didn't know exactly

When you were coming back,
And I gave out the beats.

That's fine, doyle.

I'll take whatever one
You got left over.

Actually, there's none left.

Just the one I wanted.
Relax, doyle.

I'm just here for the pretty
Picture of my father's head.

I'm not gonna be
Any trouble at all.

You -- trouble?
Stop.

I'm just glad
To have you here.

Be careful.
You might hurt yourself.

Better get back
To work, right, boss?

Rory, nice to see you.

How do you know logan?

My friend introduced us.

So you're not friends?
Definitely not friends.

That guy's
A real piece of work.

He was gonna sail daddy's yacht
Around the world

Until he sank it.

He sank his father's yacht?

Right off of fiji.

They spent six months
Gallivanting and partying

Till daddy sent one of his
Planes to bring them back.

I'm guessing
His father's rich.

His father's
Mitchum huntzberger.

The newspaper guy?

The newspaper magnet.

The man owns at least
12 different papers.

I spent two years kissing
Logan's butt.

Don't you mean "Ass"?

Whatever. I guess it's time
To pucker up again.

Man, I hate
Those kind of guys.

What kind of guys?

Privileged white males.

You're
A privileged white male.

Well, he's more privileged
And way more whiter.

Why am I talking to you?
Why am I talking to gilmore?

My story --
We were picking a story.

They all sound fine to me.

I think I'll go with
The downloading story.

Good. Go with your gut.
Now get to work.

Hello. City desk.
Smitty here.

I got a hot scoop
On a tall blonde,

And I gotta put it to bed
On the double.

How do you see your position
In american letters?

I'm either the best or I'm not,
And I have no idea.

And, in fact, I don't even worry
About it anymore

Because it doesn't matter
If you think you're the best.

There are 20 of us around --
20 american writers right now --

I could name them,
But I won't --

Who think they're the best
Living american writer,

And I'm one of those 20.

I don't want to make friends
With some of those guys,

Because they're bastards.

Who is your favorite author
Of all time?

So, how are we doing
Over here?

We're fine.

You know what goes great with
Ice tea? Pork tenderloin.

Maybe later. Thanks.

We have a great menu here.

We're fine.
Thank you.

I don't know if the waiter told
You, but today is wednesday.

And on wednesday
At the dragonfly,

We play a little something I
Like to call "Stump the chef,"

Which is me.

The way we play is that you name
Any dish in the world,

And I will make it
For you.

And if I don't know
What it is,

Then you get your lunch
Completely free.

What the devil
Is she talking about?

Actually, could we have some
Lemon for the ice tea?

Lemon. Oh, sure.

One plate of lemon
Coming up.

If you change your mind,
I'll be in the kitchen...

You know, with the food.

I already have a ton of data
And pages of research.

The best thing is nancy, this
Girl on the fourth floor,

Her father was the guy who ran
Security at the gallery

When lars ulrich
Sold all his art,

And he said he would try
And get him for an interview,

And I got to breathe now.

I think that was a record.

You think it sounds
Important enough?

Yes, I do.

I think so, too.

I feel very good about this,
Forester.

Excellent to hear.

Monsignor, why is asking you

To keep your cell on vibrate
During mass outrageous?

Rabbi feldman's doing it
For me on shabbas.

When do I get to read
This story of yours?

I'll finish a draft in time
For our date tomorrow,

So you can have a romantic night
Of proofreading, huh?

Pretty hot, don't you think?

I'm kidding.
You don't have to read it.

I'll read it to you.

I have to work
Tomorrow night.

Since when do you work
On thursdays?

Since taylor decided to try
And cash in

On the 24-hour trucker crowd.

What trucker crowd?

The trucker crowd
Off highway 84.

Since when does the trucker
Crowd off of 84

Come through stars hollow?

Since we installed
An icee machine.

I'm stuck here until we see how
It's catching on.

Sounds rough.

You haven't lived
Until you've heard taylor

Belt out "Stand by your man."

You deserve hazard pay.

Already submitted for it.

Bummer.
How about saturday?

Saturday, I'm here.
What about next week?

I've got tuesday
And wednesdays off.

I have this article, and
I'm behind on my reading.

Next weekend?

Going to maine
For my grandparents anniversary.

It was nice knowing you.

Way to stand by your man.

Week after next, huh?
Yeah, I guess so.

I turn in my article
On that monday.

Monday night it is.

They say absence makes
The heart grow fonder.

Yeah, sex can do that also.

Amen, brother.

I got to go.

You have to stir the nacho
Cheese every 20 minutes

Or it forms kind of a rock.

Go stir the cheese.
Call you tomorrow.

Okay. Bye.

Did you know that priests
Have a fabulous sense of humor?

Just stay one lightning bolt's
Length away from me

At all times, please.

You want to go check out
Some mormon bingo?

No, thanks.

How's your article
Coming?

You must have found a new
Angle on it, right?

Right. New angle.

Downloading stories
Are everywhere,

And they all say exactly
The same thing --

"Downloading's up,

"Cd sales are down
But up from last year.

"It's not hurting
The music industry,

But the music industry
Is hurting."

It always seems like there's got
To be more to it than that,

But there never is.

But you have a fresh angle,
So good.

Yeah, good.

I'll be back late.

If rabbi feldman calls,

Tell him I got the stats from
Edward james olmos' office.

Bye.

Yeah, bye.

Never mind. I see the note.
Thank you, lorelai.

You're welcome.

I see a lot of growth
This month.

The initial dropoff,

Which we all knew was gonna
Happen, has settled,

And you're doing a good 70-75%
Occupancy, which is pretty good.

And the holidays
Are coming up.

We're booked solid the last
Three weeks of november.

That's all positive news.

Let's talk about things we can
Do to help till then.

So, we need help?

Some. It's the first year,

And you're gonna be building
The business,

So there's not a lot
Of profit right now.

I'd feel better if we could
Lighten the financial load.

That sounds bad.

I could put in for overtime,
And I don't.

You need to get some burdens off
Of you, for example, lunch.

What about lunch?

Breakfast seems
To be breaking even,

And you're doing fine
With dinner, but lunch --

What about lunch?

You're hemorrhaging money
At lunch.

You have a full staff for
A basically empty dining room.

I think it might be a good idea
To drop lunch

Until you get your occupancy
Rate up higher.

Drop lunch?
Did she say, "Drop lunch"?

Just until we get our occupancy
Rates up a little higher.

A lot higher.

That's the only thing
We can do?

I just think it's extremely
Coincidental

That the only thing we can do
To save the inn

Is to get rid of lunch.

I'm sure
It's not the only thing.

Lunch is my thing.

Why can't we get rid
Of one of michel's things?

What things? I stand behind
A desk and answer a phone.

What of mine can you possibly
Get rid of?

The desk -- put the phone on
The wall and write on your shoe.

'cause he goes through
A lot of paper.

Ann, would you just...

It's not fair.

It's not fair that everybody
Else gets to keep their thing,

And I have to get rid
Of my lunch.

Ann's just trying to help.
Oh, ann hates me.

No, I don't.

How would you like to get
Yourself a cup of coffee?

I don't hate her.

I know. Michel, can you get
Ann some coffee?

Oh, absolutely.

Then I'll go hang my phone
On the wall.

I have to tell you, looking good
Is so important

When you represent
The face of the company.

I am the first thing
That a customer sees.

Your suits are not
A deduction, michel.

What are you doing?

She's taking my lunches
Away.

This is all norman mailer's
Fault.

He just sits around
Ordering nothing.

So, he was married
To marilyn monroe.

Who wasn't?

That was arthur miller.

I'm gonna kick him
And pinch his nose.

Hey, get a grip. We're trying
To launch a business.

The restaurant is part
Of the business.

And cutting out lunch
Is not the --

Temporarily cutting out
Lunch -- temporarily --

Just until things perk up.

When they do, the lunches will
Go back, just like before.

Sookie? Okay?

Fine.

Just give it time.

And we're going to leave
Mr. Mailer alone, right?

I don't care how old he is,
He can take you.

I know.

So we're booted up,

And we're searching the network
For other clients, right?

Then you enter the album you
Want in the search field.

Let's say it's the new interpol.
You heard it?

I think so.

More nick cave got mugged
By paul weller,

With some "Seventeen seconds,"
Cure, thrown in.

But, anyway,
For better quality,

You choose the file with
The highest bit rate.

It's a tradeoff
'cause it's a bigger file size.

The lower the bit rate,
The smaller the file,

But lower quality.
Got that?

Higher, smaller.
Lower, larger.

Higher, larger.
Lower, smaller.

Oh! Check this out.

I can download a band's
Entire catalog

With the push of a button.

I can take down
All 22 chicago albums.

There's "Chicago I,"
"Chicago ii," "Chicago iii,"

"Chicago iv."

Neat, huh?

"Chicago ix," "Chicago x."

I hate chicago.
Use a trombone, go to jail.

But my goal is to get
It all from abba to zappa.

There's the christmas album.

That's really fascinating
Stuff, but let me ask you --

Do you still buy cds?

Yeah.

Anything to add to that?

Cd sales are up this year.
You hear about that?

Down last year.
Up this year. Weird.

Oh! Cool!

Here's a 1986 bootleg

Of "Chicago live at the
Cumberland civic center"

In portland, maine.

So, len, tell me about when
Or, uh, if -- if --

Yeah?

I just -- I lost
My train of thought.

I hate that.

I think I'm gonna go get
A cup of coffee.

Coffee sounds good.
I'll be back in a minute.

I'll be here.

[ sighs ]

Oops.
Didn't see you there.

Shh.

[ giggles ]

In omnia paratus!

Shh!

[ cellphone rings ]

Oh, boy.

Okay. Hold on.

I get it.
You're ringing.

Howdy, ma'am.

Hold on, hold on.

Yes. Hi. Hello.
Lor.

Chris?
I can't get her to stop.

Stop what?

Crying, screaming.

She's not hot,
There's no fever,

And I can't get her to eat.

We're talking about gigi,
Right?

Okay, 'cause, you know,
Sherry's really thin, so...

[ gigi crying ]

Wow. Are you sure
She's not hot?

No, I already checked.
I don't know what to do.

She keeps climbing
Out of her crib.

She's moving really fast.

Chris, honey, calm down.
Where's sherry?

She's not here.

When is she getting home?

I don't know what to do.
I didn't know who to call.

The nanny is not answering
Her pager,

And sherry's friends -- they
Don't have kids or like kids.

I'll be right there.
Bye.

[ knock on door ]

I owe you so big.

Wow. You look, uh, great.

Huh.

How long ago
Did axel rose leave?

The place is kind of a mess.
I tried to clean up.

She keeps climbing
Out of the crib.

When she's not climbing,
She's screaming.

I keep thinking she's hungry,
But she won't eat.

Oh, there she goes again.

Come on. Let's go back
In the crib, huh?

[ screams ]

You tell him, girlfriend.

She hasn't slept for days.

I'm guessing
That makes two of you.

Well, come on, gig,
Just a little sleep, huh?

Chris, where is sherry?

She's, uh, away.

Come on.
Seriously, gigi,

500 bucks if you stay in there
For 10 minutes.

Hold out, kid.
You've got him on the ropes now.

She doesn't need your help.

No, she doesn't.
Just -- come here.

[ crying continues ]

Hi.
Oh, wow.

I hear strained spinach
Is the new pink.

Here you go.

It's okay.
It's okay.

It's okay.
It's okay.

It's okay.

There you go.

That's it?

She's gonna stay
In there?

Until her hair
Grows long enough

For the prince to shimmy up.

What?
Come on.

[ toy squeaks ]

God, I am so sorry, lor.

Oh? For what?

I hardly ever call you
Or rory,

But the minute
I'm in trouble...

Well, that's what
We're here for.

I've been traveling so much,
Then I get home to this,

And I didn't know
What to do.

I didn't know what to do.

Chris...

Yeah?

Where is sherry?

Sherry is in paris.

Wow. Lucky girl.

When does she get back?

She's not.

She's...

I got home from seattle,
And the nanny was here,

And she handed me a note.

It said that sherry had been
Offered a job in paris,

And she had decided
To take it.

She said she had put her career
On hold

For almost two years.

She said that I had been gone
For most of that time,

Which I guess is true,

And she wasn't gonna let
This opportunity pass.

She said it was my turn.

She was sorry,
But she had to do this for her.

Wow.
I'm stunned.

Pretty much
My same reaction.

But gigi --
She just takes off on gigi?

Okay, well, you smell
As good as you look.

I haven't showered
Since seattle.

Really? Well, I'm hot.

Okay, how about this
For a plan?

You go take a shower,

And I will order some food
And start to clean up.

Hey, I can't do this.

Do what, shower?
Oh, you've done it before.

You just turn the water on
And step in.

Wait -- remove clothes,
Then step in.

I can't raise her.

I cannot raise her
All by myself.

Yes, you can.

What makes you think so?

Because you have to.

Chris, she's your daughter,

And you're going to find
A way.

I did it with rory.

You're different.

Yes. I was 16.

You're different.
You're special.

You're stronger.

You're like a superhero with
Red boots and a golden lasso.

It was one halloween,
Christopher.

You raised rory
All by yourself.

You had no one to help you,
And you didn't look back.

That's right.

But if I had decided to bail
On rory

And follow the bangles
Around the world,

Which is what I planned to do
Until the demerol kicked in,

Then you would have put on the
Red boots and golden lasso.

And you would have raised her,

And everything
Would have been fine.

Except she wouldn't have
Introduced you to anyone

Or let you go
To the parent night at school,

'cause you look so freaky.

I don't know.

She is your daughter.

And I don't even know her.
I've been gone so much.

Well, welcome home, babe.

I don't want to screw
This up.

You're not going to.
I know you can do this.

You ever get tired
Of being my cheerleader?

As long as I look cute in
The skirt, I'm good to go.

Okay. Uh...

I really need to shower.

I'll clear a path
And order some food.

No applesauce.

You got it.

So, you really think
I can handle this?

No doubt in my mind.

[ gigi crying ]

Go. I've got the crying.

Hey, lor...

I don't know
What I'd do without you.

Well, you're gonna find out
Real soon if you don't --

Take off clothes, get
In shower, turn on water.

I'm going.

* just another manic monday

Geller!

Do you see what I have
In my hand?

I'm busy, doyle.

Rabbi baron says he's changed
His number twice.

Father callahan is threatening
A restraining order.

If I had a nickel...

And the honorable
Muhammad abdul aziz

Says that you stole
His flip-flops.

He leaves them out
In his hallway,

And I have told him a million
Times that people suck and --

Paris!

You have threatened, stalked,
And basically freaked out

Every religious leader
Within a 100-mile radius.

This paper has never
Received so many complaints

In the history
Of its existence,

And how the hell did you get

Jesse jackson's
Barber's number?

Hey, you gave me this beat
To find a story,

Not to kowtow and make nice.

Geller!

Way to go.

Thanks.

Don't you dare give back
Those flip-flops.

Not a chance.
They fit perfectly.

Doyle, I think I want
To change my story.

The downloading story
Was a dead end.

There's nothing there.

You're telling me.

I got bored just hearing
You pitch it.

So, what do you got now?

Okay, well, last night,

I was in one of the bathrooms
Over at berkeley,

And this girl came in --
Slightly toasted.

She was wearing
A full-on ball gown

With one of those
Plastic gorilla masks.

Not something
You see every day.

So I followed her out
To the parking lot,

And she got in this fancy,
Black s.U.V.

And said the phrase
"In omnia paratus,"

Which means
"Ready for anything."

Impressed. Continue.

All this seemed a little weird,
But interesting weird.

So maybe it's all
This hanging out

With a real newspaperman
Like yourself,

But my antenna went up.

I felt there
Was a story there.

Did you catch
The subtle sucking up?

Caught it. Continue.

I goggled the phrase.

Then I found this.

It links the phrase
With a club here at yale.

It's sort of a secret society --
Kind of skull and bones --

Dating back to the 1800s.

This phrase was their motto.

That alone --
Not that interesting.

But here. Look.

Huh.

I found this in a 1996 edition
Of the "Yale daily news."

It's an article

On whether or not
This club actually exists.

A life-and-death brigade.
Yeah, I know these guys.

Oh, you do?

Well, I've heard of them.

They're apparently
Even more elusive

Than the skull-and-bones
Crowd.

Of course,
They've never been linked

To masturbating in a coffin,

So I automatically
Like these guys better.

What do you know
About them?

Not much. The paper's tried
To track them down before.

We've gotten a few leads,

But no one's ever gotten close
Enough to confirm anything.

We all know they exist, but
We don't know they exist.

It's all just too, too -- god,
I hate those stupid clubs.

I want to do this story.

I want to find this club,
Track them down,

Get on the inside.

What do you think?

Go with your gut.

You said that
About my downloading story.

Hey, you don't trust my gut.

[ vehicle door closes ]

Finally.

What are you doing
Out here?

Am I wearing the same thing
I wore last friday night?

Halfway here, I was struck
My the overwhelming feeling

That I wore this exact outfit
To dinner last friday night.

There's no way
I'm going in there

To see my mother wearing the
Same thing I wore last friday.

I may not remember,
But she sure will.

I don't know.
You don't know?

You don't remember,
But you expect me to?

You look at me
More than I look at me.

You had more of a chance

To imprint my ensemble
In your brain.

Sorry. No imprint.

That hurts.

I'm sure you don't remember
What I was wearing.

I most certainly do.

What was I wearing?

You were wearing a lovely

And delicately
Understated outfit.

You were definitely wearing
These arms.

[ doorbell rings ]

Stand in front of me
Just in case.

Hello.

Hi, we should be
On the guest list.

Halston and liza
Are expecting us.

Okay, let's try it straight.

Hi, we're here for dinner.

I'm lorelai, the daughter.
This is rory, the granddaughter.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry.
Right this way.

She's acting weird.

She knows I'm wearing the same
Outfit as last week.

She wasn't here last week.

The world's small.
Maids talk.

About you?

With all that's going on
In the world,

All the maids in existence
Are talking about you.

Now you're making me seem
A little stuck-up.

Can I get you something
To drink?

Maybe we should wait
For my mother.

Is she coming down soon?

No.

Oh. Okay.

Do you know if she saw
What I was wearing?

Mrs. Gilmore isn't here.

Where is she?

She's at a dinner
For the children's hospital.

Oh, so she's not gonna be here
At all tonight.

No, I'm afraid not.

I guess we can just...

We'll have dinner in the pool
House with dad.

Oh...

Oh?

Mr. Gilmore is out of town.

He is?

Till tuesday.

We've officially
Become afterthoughts.

Would you like me to make you
Something for dinner?

Well, since everyone's gone,

Maybe I'll just head
Back to school.

I have a lot of work to do
At the paper.

Yeah. That would be one
Option -- going back to school.

Another option would be
Staying here, ordering pizza,

And eating dinner on the living
Room floor on paper plates.

You're evil.

Would you bring us
A phone book, please.

Get crazy.

Okay.

Let's really live it up.
Carpe diem, baby.

I'm touching the rug
With my feet.

Ooh, you're perverse.

When she brings the drinks,
Let's not coasters.

I wonder if there's anything
In here

That we could unalphabetize.

The rug is so soft.
Oh, you would not belive.

Would gluing everything
In this room to the ceiling

So that it's in exactly
The same place but upside down

Be going too far?

A little.

So, dish?

Absolutely.

Sherry left your dad.

What? When?

A couple of days ago.

She got a job offer
In paris,

And she packed her tiny pants
In a bag and bailed.

What about gigi?

Left her with chris.

No way.

He came home, and the nanny
Handed him a letter.

How could she just leave
Like that?

I have no idea.

How do you know all this?
He called me.

When?
Yesterday.

He was freaking out

Because he couldn't stop gigi
From crawling out of her crib.

I do have to hand it
To him.

He gets extra points

For the very original
Duct-taping-of-the-diaper move.

The place was a wreck.

You went over there?

I calmed him down, and we
Sort of got the place in order.

I think everything's
Gonna be okay.

I'm gonna go back on monday

And make sure everyone's
Still breathing.

Oh, well,
That's very nice of you.

Well, your dad is gonna need
A little help...

Being a dad.

I mean, 'cause --

Well, he was your dad,
So no news flash here.

But you should see gigi.

She's huge and gorgeous
And a belter.

Oh, great.
Dinner is served.

* la la la la la

* oh, la la la la la

* la la la la la

* oh, la la la la la

* la la la la la

It's a beautiful
1 1/2-mile hike.

There's a waterfall
Around this bend here.

And over here are some of the
Oldest birch trees in the area.

A rare-butterfly nature preserve
Is off to the right here.

[ cellphone ringing ]
Excuse me.

Michel, would you
Take over for me?

Oh, yes.
Of course.

Okay, so over here by this
Semi-polluted brook,

You will find find large,
Scary spiders

And a fascinating display
Of poison ivy.

Luke, slow down.

I can't come now.
I'm working.

He what?
[ sighs ]

Okay. Fine.
I'm on my way.

Yes, I'm running.

My feet are going
Like a cartoon character.

There are dust clouds behind me,

And the background keeps
Repeating itself. Bye.

Which brings you
To the rattlesnake curve,

Where people
Have actually died

Painful but very
Picturesque deaths.

Lunch at the dragonfly!

Get your lunch
At the dragonfly!

You have not eaten lunch

Till you've eaten lunch
At the dragonfly!

Get away from here!

I am on the sidewalk.
You do not own the sidewalk.

The sidewalk is for the common
People -- the everyman.

And every man and every woman

Would like to have a delicious
Lunch at the dragonfly.

I'm gonna call the cops.

Cops get free pie with lunch
At the dragonfly!

Kirk, what are you doing?
You're a giant hot dog.

Technically,
I'm a giant wiener.

The costume tag
Says "Wiener."

Get him away from my diner.
I mean it.

Don't you worry, lorelai.

I have no intention
Of abandoning my post,

And I will not rest

Till every person
In stars hollow

Has tried lunch
At the dragonfly.

I don't understand this.

I'm trying to scrounge up
A lunch crowd for you,

So I figured I'd go where
Everybody already has lunch

And get them over to you.

I'm doing a pretty good job,
If I do say so myself.

But who asked you --
[ sighs ] Boy.

Luke, I'm very sorry.
This won't happen again.

Come on, kirk.

I'm sorry,
But why a hot dog?

The dragonfly
Doesn't serve hot dogs.

The quiche made me look fat.

If I see him aground here
Again...

You won't.
Let's go, kirk.

This is as fast as I can go
In this outfit.

[ indistinct conversation ]

Hey, huntzberger.

Hey, you waiting on me?

Could be.

I'm flattered.

Your prerogative.

Here on business
Or pleasure?

I just thought maybe
I'd give you a chance

To respond to my article.

What article?

The article I'm doing on
The life-and-death brigade.

Don't really know
What you're talking about.

You don't?

Huh.
I thought you would.

It's a club -- one of these
Supersecret,

Superexclusive clubs
Here at yale.

Membership spans
A thousand centuries.

Secret handshakes
And secret sayings

And running around in a circle
In your underwear.

Sounds pretty secret.

Anyhow, I'm doing an exposé
On this one particular club,

And I figured
Since you're in it

Maybe you'd like to have
Your point of view included.

I'm in it?

Well, aren't you?

I have yet to run around
In a circle in my underwear.

Well, okay.

I have proof that your
Grandfather was in it,

Which means
That your father was in it,

Which should mean that
You're in it.

But maybe not.

Sorry to let you down.

No letdown.
It would have been nice,

But I have plenty of stuff
Without you.

You got plenty
Without me, huh?

I have the ball gowns,
The girl in the gorilla mask,

In omnia paratus -- very fancy
Catchphrase, by the way --

The license plate
On the black s.U.V.,

And about a dozen
Other little things.

Getting an interview
With an actual member

Would have been great,
But I'm okay without it.

Great.

Plus, I'm completely on
To your routine now.

So I figure
I'll just track you,

And you'll eventually lead me
There, anyway.

It would be easier if you
Would have talked to me now,

But I can do it the other way
If you want.

The other way?

With you tracking me?
Following my every move?

Yeah.

I pick that way.
We can start right now.

I'm heading back to my room.

I'll keep the window open

In case you feel
The need to sneak in

And track me from the inside.

Thanks for the info.

Hey, good luck
With that article.

Sounds like a hell
Of a scoop.

Sookie, what was
The first thing we agreed on

When we opened the inn?

Keep kirk away
From the business.

Then I get a call from luke,
I run down there,

And I find a giant hot dog
Handing out 10% off flyers

For lunch at the dragonfly.

Who was the giant hot dog?

Kirk was the giant hot dog.

I didn't tell him to dress
Like a giant hot dog.

Why would he dress
Like a hot dog?

Because it's kirk.

The giant hot-dog suit
Was a given.

I don't understand
What you were thinking.

We needed to drum up
Some lunch business.

But there is no lunch.

Since when?

We all agreed.
Ann said --

I did not agree.

I did not agree
To stop serving lunch.

Come on.
It's the only thing we can do.

We have to.
We can't afford this.

Who's all this food for?

The people
Are going to come.

I paid kirk
Out of my own money,

So you don't have to worry
About that.

I'm worried about this.

What are we gonna do
With all this food?

Why are there seven
Kitchen people working

When the only person
Out there is norman mailer?

This is what I do.

We're dropping lunch.

It's just temporary,
But as of now, it's gone.

Fine. No lunch.

From now on,
There's no lunch.

Everybody
Stop what you're doing,

Because as of now,
There's no more lunch.

Boys, sorry to break up
The party, but as of now,

There's no more lunch.

It's been canceled.

You happy,
Norman mailer, huh?

Lunch has been canceled.

That means no more ice teas.
Unh-unh.

No more lemon slices.

No more hanging out
At a restaurant

Ordering nothing because you're
Norman mailer and you can!

It's just like me
Coming into a bookstore

And reading your books
Without buying them.

Hey, can I borrow this?

I'm not gonna pay for it.
Just stand here and read.

Ooh, yeah.

Someone sure
Likes to use big words.

Can I get some more ice tea
For the table?

Excuse me, mr. Mailer.

I'm terribly sorry.

What?! What?!

Yeah, write that down!

This is his fault.

It is not his fault.

He takes up space,
He drinks ice tea,

He scares the other
People off.

He does not.

Why are you being
So nutty about this?

I don't know.

I hear myself
Getting nutty.

I know that there's no one
Coming for lunch.

And I know that norman mailer's
Not responsible

For no one coming for lunch.

And I tell myself
It's just temporary,

And there's still dinner
And breakfast.

And that's good,
And I can do a lot with that.

I try to calm myself down,

And that just only seems
To make me crazier.

All I want to do is cry
And scream and --

Oh, my god, I'm pregnant.

[ gasps ]
You're pregnant?

I'm pregnant!

Norman mailer, I'm pregnant!

Congratulations.

[ giggling ]

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

I think I had some bad host at
One of the masses yesterday.

[ beeps ]

Hey.

Is the hot dog with you?

No. Kirk is at home.

Good.
Make sure he stays there.

I will.

You still mad at me?

Nope.
You seem mad.

Not mad, just bugged.

Kirk will never bother your
Business on our behalf again.

Oh, it's not that.

What, then?

I got this table of bozos
Sitting over there all day long

Ordering nothing
But ice tea.

Man: why don't we focus
On writing?

I knew you'd come up
With a question like that.

It's like, why don't you push
My cadillac for me?

Oh, bummer.

[ knock on door ]

Rory, hey!
What are you doing here?

I, uh -- here.

Hey, it's good
To see you, kiddo.

Come on in.
Sit down.

Gigi is asleep,
Which is basically a miracle,

But for you,
I'll wake her up.

No, that's okay.
I can't stay long.

Well, come sit down.
No, I can't stay.

I don't want you calling
Mom anymore.

What?

I want you
To stay away from her.

Mom's in a relationship now,

And she's doing
Really great.

He's kind and -- well,
He's there, and she's happy.

I think that's great, rory.

You'll mess it up.
You'll mess everything up.

Because every time
You come back,

It always ends up
The same way.

Mom's crying, and you're
Not being there.

I know it's not your fault.

I know you don't mean it
To be that way,

But that's how it is.

I just needed some help,
That's all.

Next time you need help,
Call a nanny or a babysitter,

Or call me,
Just leave mom alone.

I'm sorry.
I have to go.

Kiss gigi for me.
