Richard: lorelai couldn't have
Been more than, what, 8 or 10?

But she was very definite
About the whole thing.

She looked me directly
In the eye, and she said,

"When I grow up,
I'm going to marry tip o'neill."

I swear to you,
I nearly had a heart attack.

I liked the name "Tip."

I thought it was cute,
Like a puppy or a bunny.

Anyway, I'm happy
That you two got married,

And quite relieved not to have
Had tip o'neill as a son-in-law.

Here's to your marriage --
Our heartfelt congratulations.

We also got you
A little gift.

Oh, yes, which is crying out
To be opened.

It's just a little token
To commemorate the occasion.

Thank you.
Thank you.

I love the look
Of this wrapping paper.

To the happy couple...

Oh, well,
Not the time.

...To lorelai
And christopher.

Hear, hear!

To lorelai
And christopher.

Long may they live.
Okay, time to open?

Yes,
You may open your present.

You're like a dolphin
At feeding time.

Wow.

I mean, d--

I -- it's --
It's like, "Wow."

It's an etching
By kiki smith.

It's extraordinary,
This item.

Wow.
Wow, right?

It's called "Wolf girl."

Baldwin, our dealer,
Is a big fan of kiki smith.

She's all the rage
In new york.

That was very generous
Of you.

It's our pleasure.

All couples should cultivate
An art collection.

Well, this is gonna start
Our collection off...

With a bang.

[ gasps ]
I'm so happy
You love it.

We were flying blind
Without a gift registry.

Well,
You flew great, mom.

I imagine it's difficult
To have the forethought

To register when you decide
To suddenly elope.

Everything changes when
A couple elopes, doesn't it?

Nothing is done in quite
The traditional manner --

For instance, informing
Your parents of your marriage

By leaving them a message
On their answering machine.

What?
You told me you told them.

I didn't say they were home
When I told them.

Mom,
You're such a chicken.

You left a message
On their machine?

She certainly did.

I come home, and I push
"Play" on the machine,

And what do I hear between
A message from lily margulies

About her fund-raiser
For tanzanian children

And one from my tennis pro,
But my very own daughter

Telling me, guess what --
She's married.

Mom, I'm sorry.
I just --

Why just talk about it?
Why not share it?

No, no! Hey, hey!

Lorelai: hey, just wanted
You guys to know,

Christopher and I
Are back from paris.

G.G.'s all set.

And, uh, we just ended up,
Uh...Getting married.

So, anyway, see you friday.
Bye!

Isn't that lovely?

Mom, erase that,
Please.

I most certainly
Will not.

Your father and I plan
To treasure it forever.

We're going to have it
As a keepsake or a memento.

"Remember when lorelai
Told us she was married?"

"Ah, yes, and what was it
Exactly that she said?"

"I think it was something
Like this."

Hey, just wanted
You guys to know,

Christopher and I
Are back from paris.

G.G.'s all set.

And, uh, we just ended up,
Uh...Getting married.

* 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

The lamb is delicious,
Emily.

Who's being mr. "Favorite
Son-in-law happy smile face"?

I'm glad
You're enjoying it.

My butcher had it flown in
From new zealand.

Well, the dinner
Is very nice.

It is.

It ought to be.
We have cause to celebrate.

Speaking of which,
We have decided

That we would like to throw
You two a wedding party.

Oh, that's very sweet.
Very sweet.

But you know what --
It's totally unnecessary.

You already gave us "Wolf girl,"
Which, I mean, ah?

How do you top that?

We insist.

We're already married.
Isn't it too late?

Soon it will be. We need
To get on this right away.

We don't want it to look

As if there's anything
To be ashamed of.

Who knows
What people will think?

Why don't you give us
An anniversary party?

Like a 10th?
Wouldn't that be nice, honey?

I mean, what is 10 -- bronze,
Sandstone, particleboard?

Actually, it's tin.

But that's not
For 10 years.

Giving you plenty of time
To plan. Tin?

Things just stick
In my brain.

Lorelai, you ought to
Celebrate your marriage.

We did celebrate --
Right after we got married,

We had a beautiful meal,
Didn't we?

We had a beautiful meal.

We had chocolate mousse
And para liqueur

And a cheese plate.

A cheese plate?

Since when is
A hunk of fermented milk

A suitable means
For celebrating a marriage?

We're good.
We're celebrated out.

But what about us?

If you and dad want a party,
It's fine by me.

Buy some 40s,
Rent an inflatable bounce house.

Knock yourselves out.

What about rory?

Don't you think this marriage
Should be officially celebrated?

Well...
Yes, actually.

I think it would be nice.

Richard: christopher?

I think
It would be fun.

I'm not one to turn down
A free cocktail.

Lorelai?

Okay, then,
Let's celebrate.

Let's have a party.

Wonderful.

If we book the harbor club,
We can't have more than 400.

Lorelai, I'll need
A list of your people

As soon as possible --
You too, christopher.

I can give you
My list right now.

It's me, chris, rory, logan --
If rory wants him there --

Sookie, jackson,
And michel.

That's it?

You can invite
More people than that.

That's my list.

Why don't you invite some
Of your stars hollow friends?

That's okay, mom.

We can make it black-tie
Optional, if that will help.

It's not because
They don't have black ties.

Now, what do you think --
A string quartet,

Or something more fun,
Like a swing band?

Logan: my god, woman,
Is there a book you don't own?

I'm so sorry.

I think I may have
Re-activated my scoliosis.

Suck it up, people.
That was the last of it.

So much
For one trip, huh?

Who knew I had
Nine trips' worth of stuff?

Your place is so big,
It made my stuff look small.

Did I mention
I'm so sorry?

Two copies
Of "The norton anthology"?

They were gifts.
I can't get rid of gifts.

Okay, looks like all that's left
To do now is the paperwork.

Paperwork?
The lease.

You want me
To sign a lease?

The last time
You lived here,

You just up and left
In the middle of the year.

You kicked me out.

You moved my stuff in
The hallway and locked the door.

Now you'll have
A legally binding contract

That will negate my ability
To do that in the future.

All right.
What does it say?

Standard boiler-plate stuff --
Just sign here and here.

Mm-hmm.

And initial
Here and here.

Okay.
What is this?

"Rights and privileges
Of logan huntzberger

Or any other paramours"?

If logan is going to be
Spending time here,

It's fair to assess a daily
Tariff for water and power use.

Paris!

It's a very simple
Formula,

Based on the number of nights
He spends per month

Times the approximate minutes
Per day he spends showering,

Brushing his teeth,
And/or surfing the internet.

It's okay.
I'll kick in, paris.

Thataboy, rockefeller.

All right.

Okay.
Welcome back to the hood.

It's good
To have you back, rory.

Thanks, doyle.

I better take off.
Oh, no.

You just got here, and we spent
The whole time moving.

Why don't you come in
On thursday?

I've got to wine-and-dine
Some clients.

We'll rack up an obscene bill
At nobu.

I can't.
It's lucy's 21st birthday.

We're throwing her
A big party.

I was hoping
You might be able to come.

I can't -- nobu.

Nobu, schmobu.
It's a college party.

Don't you miss college parties?
Our theme's 2002.

Why?
Just because.

What's your theme?

Contracts.

Boring.
2002's so much better.

Bring your clients,
And we'll let them tap the keg.

Rory.
Come on.

It's a 2002 party, right?

In 2002, you were
A college freshman.

You would have been
Bored by businessmen

And thrilled to go to a party
Thrown by hot senior girls.

It's all very tempting,
But I have to go.

I love you.

Love you, too.

Paris: I'll put you down
For half a day, logan.

Good morning.

Well, good morning,
Madame defarge.

Good morning,
Mr. "I remember stuff

From english class
In high school."

Can I ask how long
This mr. "Long sentence

Of words strung together" thing
Is gonna last?

I'm not sure,
Mr. "Doesn't understand

"The more annoying
You tell me a bit is,

The more I want to do it."

Look at you, knitting away,
The picture of domesticity.

Ha ha ha.

What's for breakfast,
Martha stewart?

Is there gonna be
Fresh-squeezed orange juice?

I'd really appreciate it
If you could strain the pulp.

I got your strained pulp
Right here, buddy.

What exactly
Are you knitting?

It doesn't matter
What I'm knitting.

I'm knitting
Just to knit.
Someone's philosophical.

No, someone is in training
For the knitathon.

And we get pledged
By the skein,

So I'm just working
On my speed.

"Knitathon"?

You didn't hear
About the knitathon?

I did not hear
About the knitathon.

Do you want something?

Yeah. Poached eggs
And some orange-juice pulp.

How about coffee?
Sold.

So, we are holding a knitathon
The day after tomorrow

To raise money to rebuild
The old muddy river bridge.

What's wrong
With the bridge?

We rebuilt it
A couple years ago,

But now
It's started to rot.

It's too bad, too,
'cause it was gorgeous.

We all loved, loved,
Loved it.

It was sturdy and strong,
Made out of japanese maple --

Which is exactly the kind
Of wood that attracts beetles,

And I'm not talking
British-invasion beatles.

I'm talking the kind of beetles
That like to eat wood.

So now we're gonna make it
Out of a less-delicious wood.

Ah.
So, how goes the training?

Are your fingers
Getting strong and muscly?

My fingers are fine.
It's these needles.

I keep dropping stitches
'cause they're slippery.

I need nonslip needles.

Do they make
Nonslip needles?

I'm gonna go into town and see
If anyone's selling them.

I'll come with.
That's okay.

No, no.
I could use some air.

Yeah, but I have errands
To run.

Plus I got to go
To the dry cleaner's.

I don't want to subject you
To lizzie the crazy dry cleaner.

It's very intense.
She starts complaining about --

Why don't you want me
To come into town with you?

Oh.
Well, you know...

I just want to give people...
Time to adjust.

To?
To you and me.

I mean, I just want to be
Sensitive, you know?

You're not
Who they expected,

And I-I just don't want
The marriage to seem sudden.

I-I want to kind of
Ease them into it.

Is that why you didn't want
To invite any of your friends

To your mother's party?

No.

Well, yeah,
But 90% of it

Was I didn't want them to
Have to deal with salsa dancing

And the peabodys
And the sandborns.

But I guess 10% is
I didn't want to feel like

I'm shoving our marriage
Down their throats.

By inviting them
To a party?

So soon. I don't want it
To seem like we're flaunting.

I want to give them time
To adjust.

They're not gonna adjust
If they never see me.

Yeah.
You're right.

Let's go for a stroll.

Okay, but a stroll.
Not a strut.

I promise I will keep
My chicken-walking

To an absolute minimum.

How long
Is this gonna go on?
Couple more days.

It's ridiculous already.

Somebody's gonna poke
An eye out.

You're just bumming
'cause april's gone.

First, get your hand
Off my shoulder.

Second, I'm not bumming,
And april is not gone.

She just went back
To living with her mother.

I'm just saying,
I'm feeling you, luke.

Luke.
T.J.

I need a drink.
We don't serve alcohol.

Well, then,
Anything that's carbonated.

If I drink fast enough, bubbles
Tend to have the same effect.

What are you doing here?
Is liz okay?

She's gonna have a baby
At any moment.

It's not good, luke.
What?

We're having a baby
At our house.

We talked about this.
You're gonna be a great dad.

No.
You don't understand.

We're having a baby at our house
Any minute now.

Liz wants to have our baby
In our living room!

What? Why?
What about a hospital?

She won't go!

She's got it in her head that
This should be done at home.

My sister is gonna have
Her baby at home?

She got the idea from --
Phew! -- marcy hedges,

Who plays the midwife
At the renaissance festivals.

Only marcy has five kids --
All born in hospitals --

And now she's telling liz
How amazing and natural it is

For her to do it at home.

This is crazy.

Liz said she had jess
At a hospital,

And she wants to have
This one at home.

She has this birth coach,
Called a doula.

That's not her real name.

Don't call her that.
She's very touchy.

Her real name is sandy.

Okay.
Sandy the doula.

Anyway, sandy's done about 200
Of these home births,

And she says statistically,

They're every bit as safe
As hospital births.

I can't believe she's having
Her baby at home.

Anyway, she wants you
To be there at the birth.

She wants the baby to be born
Around family.

So I promised
I'd get you to come.

Of course.
I'll be there.

Just call me whenever,
And I'll come right by.

Great.
Thanks, luke.

Whoo!

That feels good.

I'll see you later, t.J.

Just let me know
When the water breaks.

Go take care of her,
All right?

All right.
See you, man.

[ door slams ]

That's it!

All right, this diner is now
A knit-free zone!

Stop knitting
Or get the hell out!

[ people murmuring ]

Needle in, yarn around,
New loop through, old loop up.

Needle in, yarn around,
New loop through, old loop up.

Keep a gentle tension
On the strand!

Kirk: humongous needle!

Taylor: careful!

Just because it's decorative
Doesn't mean it's not sharp!

I don't like root beer --
Not without carbonation.

You want it?
Your used dum dum?

It's not used.
It's vintage.

It was nice of lizzie,
Though.

Dude, 15 minutes
Of perchloroethylene talk?

We earned those dum dums
Fair and square.

All right, knit and purl,
Like brick and mortar!

Hey, babette!
Oh, hey!

Keep going
With the rib stitch there.

How are you, sweetheart?

Hey, christopher.

How you doing, babette?

Congratulations
On the getting-married thing.

I'd give you a hug, but my hands
Are kind of full here.

So, you eloped.

We were in paris,
And we eloped.

That's smart, eloping.
Smart.

Who needs the hassle
Of a real wedding, you know?

Yeah.
All the planning and the fuss,
So much stress.

Exactly.
Plus the dress.

I mean,
Why would anyone want to buy

A big, expensive wedding dress
You could only wear once?

Except for me.
I got to wear mine twice.

But once was for halloween.
I was the bride of chucky.

Oh, yeah?
Did morey go as chucky?

Huh?! No, he was
A futuristic pirate!

So, welcome
To stars hollow!

Thank you.
It's good to be here.

Uh-huh.

Knit and purl!

Lorelai, christopher,
There you are.

Lorelai: hey, patty.

I'm sorry I didn't get this
To you sooner.

Part of my job
As town social chair

Is greeting all newlyweds with
The stars hollow welcome wagon.

Look at all this.
Thank you so much.

Just a few odds and ends from
Our merchants to say "Welcome."

I didn't know the welcome wagon
Came in a real wagon.

Yeah.

Well...
So there you go.

Oh, terrific. Thank you.
Thank you, patty.

So, how are you adjusting
To stars hollow, christopher?

Oh, it's terrific.

I'd bet you're bored
Senseless here.

[ laughing ]
No, no. Not at all.

There's hardly
Any nightlife.

A worldly guy like you must feel
Like he's out in the sticks.

Well, my discothequing days
Are mostly behind me.

Anyway, I probably should run.
Enjoy the wagon.

Thank you.

Bye, patty.

You want a ride?

No. That's okay.

[ chuckles ]

[ chuckles ]

Hey.

Hi.

Um, I have some 2002
Paraphernalia here.

Okay.

Are lucy and olivia home?

No.

'cause they said
To bring this stuff by.

Do you know
When they'll be back?

No.

Do you know
Where they went?

Just down the hall.

Rory!
Yay! Rory's here!

Oh, hey, guys.

You brought stuff.
As promised.

Let's see.

Boyfriend.

Nice poster work.

I went with double-sided tape
Rather than thumbtacks.

I think it gives it
A cleaner look.

I think you're right. Plus,
Double-sided tape is so 2002.

You're a genius.

You're my inspiration.

You brought j.Lo?

Of course.
And I have boots.

Oh, my god, so did we!

[ giggling ]

We are gonna ugg-ugg!

My feet were so much more
Comfortable in 2002.

What do you think,
Boyfriend?

Very clydesdale.

Hey, compliments only
From boyfriends on birthdays.

You're beautiful.
Thank you.

[ chuckles ]

Hey, luke.

Hey, anna.
How's april doing?

She's doing great.

I'm pretty sure as of friday,
She had shown her appendix scar

To every one of her teachers
And classmates.

She's quite proud of it.

I'm just glad
She's doing good.

Me too.

Um, can we talk
In private?

Sure.
Come on up.

Caesar, I'll be back!

Oh, the place looks nice.

April's handiwork.

Right.
She told me -- cerulean.

So, um...My mom --

Yeah.
How's she doing?

Still recovering.

I think I have her care
All worked out,

But it is
An ongoing rubik's cube

Of day, night,
And weekend nurses.

That's tough.

Especially being on
The other side of the country.

She's really lonely.

I thought about moving her
Up here.

But she's been living
In that house for 42 years,

And I just feel like
It would be cruel.

Say, april can stay with me
Any time.

Whatever you need.

Luke...

I've decided that april and I
Are gonna move to new mexico.

Oh. Really?

Wow.

I-I'm sorry,
But my mother is all alone.

Yeah. Yeah.
Uh, it's, uh...

Wow.

But it's where I grew up,
So I know the area.

They have a lot
Of really good schools.

Does april know?

I told her last night.

How's -- I mean...
Is she okay with it?

Well, she's not thrilled.

It'll take
Some getting used to, but...

So, when? How soon?

As soon as possible.

Tina, my assistant manager,
Is gonna run the business.

I've already been
Looking online at houses,

Found a nice little
Neighborhood.

Huh.

And I just -- I wanted to,
You know, let you know.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, I guess you got to do
What you got to do.

I mean,
When my dad was sick...

Yeah.
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I should go.

I have some things.

Sure. Sure.

Yeah.

[ door opens, closes ]

Drat you,
You dratted spaghetti,

You slippery, slithery,
Uncooperative --

Am I interrupting
Something?
No.

If you and spaghetti need
Privacy, I can come back later.

In the middle of the night
Last night,

I woke up with an idea.

For days, I've been
Trying to figure out

What to serve
At my knitathon booth, right?

So, it's 2:00 a.M.
Flash! I have a vision.

Balls of yarn
Made out of spaghetti,

With breadsticks
Stuck in the middle,

Like knitting needles.

It's brilliant!
Brilliant! Horrible!

Not that appetizing.

Why don't you just
Make regular spaghetti?

'cause that's not theme-y.

Why are you in early?

I thought you were
Not coming in till late.

Well, I was, but I had
Some paperwork and...

And, um...

Christopher and I
Just walked through town.

And?
Everyone was very cordial.

Ooh. Cordial?

Yes. They said hello.
They shook his hand.

They welcomed him
To stars hollow.

Jeez, really? Cordial?

Yes. Creepy, right?
I saw miss patty and babette.

Neither one of them
Pinched his butt.

Honey,
You married an outsider.

I know.

We just -- we all thought
You and luke...

I knew people thought
Me and luke.

I thought me and luke.

But it's not me and luke.
It's me and christopher.

I know. It's just -- people
Really loved you and luke.

But it's not their life.
It's my life.

I don't see why I should
Have to go around feeling bad

That my life didn't turn out
The way everybody wanted it to.

I'm sick of it.
I really am.

And, look, I understand
That you liked luke

And you're not so sure
About christopher,

But, sookie,
You're my best friend.

I really need
Your support here.

I mean,
Christopher is my husband,

And it would be great
If you would just get on board.

Okay.
Okay?

I'm on board.
What do you need?

I'll swab the deck,
I'll hoist the sail --

Anything nautical.

I need you to help me get
The rest of the town on board.

Okay.
What do we do?

We need a campaign.
Right. A campaign.

Oh, he could walk paul anka
Around town.

Cute guy, cute dog --
Very appealing.

Paul anka's not good with
Sidewalks -- sensitive paws.

He could pull him in
The welcome wagon -- or jackson.

You want him to pull jackson
Around on a wagon?

Maybe he and jackson
Could do something together.

Jackson's got
A lot of clout.

If people see that jackson
Likes christopher,

Then maybe
They'll like christopher.

You think jackson's got
A lot of clout?

Jackson has tons of clout.
He's lousy with clout.

Okay.
What should they do?

Something
Where they'll be seen.

Ooh, how about a movie?

Too dark.
Pancakes at al's?

Jackson is off of wheat.

But, ooh, how about
Country night at miss patty's?

Chris and jackson?

I mean, jackson is a fiendish
Two-stepper, but he's handsy.

What do regular guys do?
Grunt?

Scratch?
Leave the toilet seat up?

Talk about sports?
Talk about cars?

Burp?
Beer!

Drink beer.
At casey's!

Perfect.
Oh, like manly.

Simple.
Ooh!

And while they're scratching
And grunting,

We can go do
Something fun.

Country night
At miss patty's.

Mm-hmm. Hee-haw.

So, what are you up for
Tonight?

I was thinking we could rent
"A brief history of time" again.

Maybe I'll understand
Something more than the credits.

Sure.

Look...Your mom told me
You were moving.

To new mexico.

It's not so bad.

You've been there visiting
Your grandma before, right?

I don't want to move
To the desert!

There aren't even
Any seasons!

It's hot, and it's a miserable
Place, and I hate it!

Let's take a walk. Come on.
Come on. Come on. Come on.

Look, I know
You're a little upset,

But this could be
A really good thing --

The new people you'll meet,
The teachers you'll impress.

I'll never see
My friends again.

Of course you will -- breaks
From school over the summer.

No, janie freedman
Moved to virginia

'cause her dad got
Some teaching job.

And she said she'd stay
In touch with everybody,

And she did for a week.

Then nobody ever heard
From her again.

It doesn't have to be
Like that.

We're moving
2,000 miles away!

That's how it's gonna work!
Mom is ruining my life!

April.

I'm finally happy.
I finally have friends.

It took me forever,

And now I'm just gonna be
That weird, dorky loser girl

All over again!

I know. Come on.

It's gonna be fine.

I don't get it --
2002 party.

It's a theme.

How is that a theme?

It's just
Supposed to be funny.
I'm not laughing.

You don't have to go.

Why not 2001?

It could be 2001,
I guess.

"Space odyssey" --
That's a theme.

People dress up
Like astronauts or apes.

I don't know
What to tell you, paris.

Will there be dancing?
Yes.

What kind of dancing?

I don't know.
2002 dancing?

So we're talking
Mostly hip-hop.

You don't have to
Hip-hop-dance.

I can hip-hop-dance.
Don't you worry.

Doyle and I will be
Scorching the floorboards.

[ cell phone rings ]
Looking forward to that.

Hi, mom.

What are you gonna
Pledge me?

In the knitathon?

What do you say --
10 bucks a skein?

How about $5?
So, $15?

Make it $3.

$20 a skein?
A buck 50.

25 smackeroos?
75 cents.

We have no idea
How to haggle.

No idea. Why don't you just
Put me down for $30 even?

I will not take less than $30,
And then you got a done deal.

The best I can do is $30.
You give me $30,
And it's a deal.

[ nelly's "Hot in herre" plays ]
Do I have to
Pledge dad, too?

No, he's just a spectator.
You know what he's doing?

He's going on a man-date
With jackson.

Cute.
A mandated man-date?

Yes, it was suggested
Enthusiastically.

What is that
You're listening to?
That's paris.

She and doyle are threatening
To scorch the floorboards

At lucy's party.

Aw. Poor floorboards.

How did the party prep go?

Good. We're just about ready
To party like it's 2002.

There's just one thing --
This whole marty debacle.

It's just so annoying
To be around him.

Is he still acting all cold
And weird?

Beyond cold
And beyond weird.

You're a hard one to get over.
He probably just feels bad.

When guys feel rejected,
They act all cold and weird.

But I rejected him, if that's
Even what happened, years ago.

Isn't there a statute of
Limitations for being a jerk?

Marty just probably
Feels awkward.

Maybe you should
Try to be nice.

He's not exactly
Being nice to me.

Well, you have to be
The bigger person.

Why doesn't he
Be the bigger person?

Because you're 11 feet tall
And he's a mere mortal.

I hate being 11 feet tall.

I know. It's hell
Finding jeans that fit, huh?

I got to go. I got
A man-date fashion disaster.

I'll talk to you later.

So, uh, $30 a skein?

Total -- $30 total.

Yeah.

Hey.

W-what?

Is that
What you're wearing?

What's wrong
With what I'm wearing?

Nothing.
It's just that it's, um...

What?
...Black.

It's a black shirt.
Yeah.

Okay, then.

It's very joaquin phoenix
At the oscars.

I have no clue
What that means.

It's very fitted.

I should wear a shirt
That doesn't fit?
No.

Should I tuck it in?

No!

Why are you grimacing
At this shirt?!

Um...I don't know.

Maybe it's not
The best thing to wear

On your man-date
With jackson.

First of all, if you say
"Man-date" one more time,

There is no way in hell
I am leaving this house.

Second, last I knew, I was about
To have a beer with a farmer.

I don't think it really matters
What I'm wearing.

It is very important
That you make a good impression.

How great did
Our walk through town go?

You were worried about that,
And everybody was nice.

They were nice.
It went great.

Eh.
Didn't it?

Nah.
What are you saying?

It didn't go so great.
They were cordial, polite.

But the wagon...

Was full of cleaning supplies
And shoe trees.

When claude and michael davies
Got married,

They got handmade clothing
And homemade baked goods,

And the pizza guy
Whittled them bookends

In the shape
Of senegalese tigers.

That's a welcome wagon.

We got a "We're tolerating
That you're here" wagon.

Sorry.

So, going out with jackson
Is important because...?

Jackson is loved.
Jackson is respected.

If you're in with jackson,
You're in with stars hollow.

Okay, maybe I could wear
The gray polo shirt.

[ gasps ]
I love that idea!

What about the jeans?

They're fine.
They're just a little tight.

All right,
I'll change the jeans.

The shoes?
Ugh.

All right,
I'll change the shoes.

I hate to say this out loud,
But all of a sudden,

I'm very nervous about
My man-date with a farmer.

You're gonna be great.

Not too much stuff
In the hair!

Jackson:
So, what do you think?

I'm down with any place

Where you can throw
Your peanut shells on the floor.

Not exactly
A manhattan hot spot.

A beer in stars hollow tastes
Just as good as a beer in soho,

And it's a hell of a lot
Cheaper.

It's a microbrew. They brew it
Right here on the premises.

Ah. Wow.

Man: dahntay jones brings it
Into the front court.

So, what's your best crop?
Do you have a favorite?

Don't get me started.
I love them all.

But it has been
A standout eggplant year.

Do you like eggplant?
Yep.

Don't say another word.
I am your eggplant connection.

Guess I'm gonna have to
Get rid of my other guy, then.

[ chuckling ] It's just --
It's just a joke.

[ chuckles nervously ]

Oh. Yeah.

[ chuckles ]

They're just not playing
Aggressively.

Here's jones.
That's brian williams.

His shot rims out.

He's shooting only 35%
From the floor.

So, you and lorelai,
Huh?

Yeah.

That's quite
An achievement.

I mean, many have tried,
Many have failed.

Yeah,
I feel pretty lucky.

And scott padgett,
Working inside,

Has it batted away.

You know what I love
About farming? The commitment.

No shortcuts,
No quitting.

You have got to be there
For your crops

Morning, noon,
And night.

You can have the greatest soil
And perfect seeds,

But if you are not
100% committed,

You might as well
Pave over those 32 acres

And build yourself
A strip mall.

It's a lot
Of responsibility.

It sure is.

It sounds like
You really love farming.

I do.
Sookie and I, we both do.

Me too.

Yeah. If you want to come by,
I'll be in all afternoon.

Great.
I'll see you then. Bye.

Hey.

Thanks for coming.

Sure. What's up?

Well, april --
She's pretty upset.

Yeah, I know.

I wanted to make sure we were
Doing everything we could

To make it as easy
As it could be for her.

What have you got in mind?
Well, I was thinking.

Instead of pulling her out in
The middle of the school year,

Maybe you could wait to move
Till the end of the school year?

And you don't think
I thought about that.

You could go
Back and forth,

And I could help
Covering for april here.

No, I have to be out there
Full time

As soon as possible,
Luke.

Well, she could stay with me
To finish the year.

She's already been with me
For two months, you know?

I'd love it.
It would be great, actually.

Luke, I know you mean well,
But that's not gonna happen.

I'm not splitting apart
From april for six months.

No, I understand.

Okay, so, maybe we could buy her
Some plane tickets

So she'll know she's going
Back and forth and when?

We can't
Make that plan now.

It doesn't have to
Include everything.

But, like, I already told her
She could stay with me

For spring break
And part of the summer, so if --

Whoa.
You told her that?

You actually said that?

Yeah.

I have no idea
What we'll be doing then.

I just assumed that --

You have no right
Making promises to my daughter.

I don't want you talking to her
About this again.

Are we clear?

Anna.

No, luke.
Listen, these are my decisions.

I'm not gonna have you
Going behind my back,

Making promises to april
That I can't keep.

So, are you saying
She's not coming back?

I am saying I'm not ready
To make decisions.

And they are my decisions
To make, not yours, luke.

Now I'm gonna go.

[ cell phone rings ]

Hello?

[ liz screaming ]

It's showtime, luke!

What the hell's going on
Over there? Is liz okay?

She's amazing!

We're having a baby, baby!
It's beautiful!

You got to get
Over here.

I'm on my way!

[ indistinct conversations ]

Free needles.
Free for everyone.

Free needles!
Free needles!

See? Who says
Stars hollow's not progressive?

Hey.
Hey, you guys.

Hey, jackson.
What's up?
Hey.
How's it going?

Wednesday night --
We still on to watch the game?

Sounds good.

We're gonna stake out
Some prime knitting real estate.

Save us a spot!
We will.

You're seeing jackson
Wednesday, huh?

Yeah,
We were thinking maybe.

I guess that could work.
What do you mean?

I have some other plans
For you.

You got bird-watching
With morey, darts with andrew.

Ooh, and glenn belkin
Wanted to have coffee with you.

He is the head coach of
The peewee little league teams.

Oh, yeah?
Yes.

He might have a plum
Assistant-coaching job for you.

Assistant coach, huh?

All right, I'm feeling
The knitting vibes right here.

Hello, hello!

Hiya, kids.
Boy, it's a chilly one, huh?

Taylor: welcome,
Fair citizens of stars hollow.

We come together
On this glorious autumnal day

To rescue our beloved
Muddy river bridge.

And the knitting will commence
At precisely 10:00 a.M.,

And we will knit unceasingly

Until our long day's journey
Ends at the stroke of 10:00 p.M.

Taylor, 10:00 a.M.
Is 40 seconds away.

What? No.
I've got 3 1/2 more minutes.

I've timed this speech
To last exactly 3 1/2 minutes.

Um, a bridge
Is not merely

A feat of engineering
And architecture.

A bridge
Is also a metaphor.

Taylor, I'm sorry.
Your watch is wrong.

I have precise
Atomic clock time. 28 seconds.

I'm with kirk!
26 seconds!

But I just got
This watch.

Make that 22, 21.

20.

As I was saying,
A bridge is a metaphor,

A meeting place
Between here and there,

Between the past
And the future.

The golden gate,
The brooklyn...

To raise funds...

Our duty as citizens!

Nine seconds!

Real-time accounting
Of the funds approved.

Seven seconds!
As we strive toward --

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Oh, fine!
Go ahead and knit!

[ laughing ]

Thank you!
Thanks so much.

Hey.
Hi.

How are you enjoying
Your first legal drink?

Third, actually.

I like it, although I kind of
Miss being a lawbreaker.

[ chuckles ]

Oh, my god.
It's paris geller.

I told you.

You totally delivered.

Who's the dude?

That's her boyfriend --
Doyle.

I'm fascinated.

Go talk to her.
Really?

It's your party.
How do I look?

You look tiara'ed, 21,
And fabulous.

Hi!

Thank you for coming
To my party.

Barkeep, I'll have
An upside-down tequila slammer

With a twist.

I don't know
How to make that.

Yeah,
I just made it up.

Oh.

Really?
Is this the way it's gonna be?

I say something,

And you grunt
And make me feel like an idiot?

What do you
Want me to say?

Well, what I would
Like you to say

Is that you've put me
In a really difficult position,

And the least you can do
Is not be a jerk about it.

I'm sorry.

Yeah?

Yeah.

So you're done
Being a jerk?

Y-yeah, I-I'm done.

Good.

You still want that
Upside-down tequila slammer?

With a twist.

[ chuckles ] Right.
Probably has tequila in it.

Yeah.

[ both laugh ]

Um, the upside-down part,
I'll have to improvise.

But the slammer and the twist
Are pretty straightforward.

You might
Want to stand back.

Oh, okay.

[ pink's "Get the party started"
Plays ]

Crowd: go, paris!
Go, paris! Go, paris!

Go, paris! Go, paris!

[ cheering ]

Shh!
It's okay, sweet girl.

Y-you sure
About the name "Doula"?

She's such a doula.
Isn't that right, gorgeous?

It's cute, right?

What's that, doula?

[ high-pitched ] I want
My uncle luke to hold me.

Oh, no, no, no.
You keep her.

Please! Uncle lukey!

No, really.
I-I don't have to.

[ imitating crying ] I want
My uncle lukey to hold me!

Okay. Okay.

[ normal voice ]
Here you go, doula.

Hey, doula.

Isn't she beautiful?

Look at her eyes.
She's got liz's eyes.

It's true.

And -- and aunt sissy's chin,
Right?

That's totally
Sissy's chin.

No,
Sissy was adopted.

So?

Ohh!

Well, I-I don't know
How she does it,

But she's got her chin.

[ chuckles ]

What do you think,
Luke?

She's great.

That's your uncle luke.

And luke's daughter
Is your cousin april.

Now, I bet april is gonna be
Your number-one babysitter.

Am I right, luke?

Yeah. Sure.

$2,200! Not bad, people!

Not good, exactly,
But not bad.

And we have seven more hours
To make up the rest,

So keep on knitting!

And as you do,
Think of the bridge!

Who wants coffee?

Is that
A rhetorical question?

Thank you, christopher.

We're not gonna make it,
Are we?

Not without doping.

Don't talk like that!
Think of the bridge.

We'll never be able to look it
In the I-bar again.

Jackson:
How's it going?

Sookie: I can't tell if my hands
Are cramping or numb,

But they just keep
Knitting.

So I guess I'm trying
Not to think about it,

Although I guess, right now,
I am thinking about it.

Maybe scheduling
An outdoor event in november

Wasn't such a great move.

It was a great move --
A fred-and-ginger-type move.

Babette: nah, it's a bad move,
But it's part

Of a great tradition
Of bad moves by taylor.

Taylor: could I have
Everyone's attention, please?

I just received
A donation of $7,800!

Thanks very much to
Stars hollow's newest resident,

Christopher hayden,

For bringing us
Up to our goal of $10,000!

Honey?

Christopher,
You did that?

Yeah.
Well, yeah, I --

Well, tha-- thank you.
Uh, I-it was really...

Generous.
It's generous, right?

Yeah, generous.

Thanks, christopher.

You're welcome.
I just figured --

Do we stop knitting now?

Pack it up, people.
I guess
We stop knitting now.

We've reached our goal.
Our work is done here.

If we get that llama back
In the next half-hour,

We're gonna save a bundle.

What are you doing?
W-why are you leaving?

You heard taylor.

Nobody ever listens to taylor.
We got to keep knitting.

What's the point?!

The point is, it's fun.
It's a festival.

We haven't even wrapped taylor
In yarn yet.

Like a big taylor cozy.

We already got all the money.
Thanks very much, christopher.

You're welcome.

Gypsy?

7,800 buckaroos.

Wow. You must really
Love bridges, christopher.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna
Go catch a movie.

Wait a minute. Where is
Your stars hollow spirit, huh?

Where's the love of knitting
Just for knitting's sake?

At the movies?

Sorry, honey.

I wonder what's playing.

I'll bet it's nice
And toasty in there.

Thanks again,
Christopher.

Sure.
Happy to help.

Taylor: okay, let's get
Those needles down!

And careful, there,
Fellas!

Just because they're decorative
Doesn't mean they're not sharp.

How is she still dancing?

Paris?

No -- lucy.

Paris I understand, 'cause paris
Has been training for this

Like it's an olympic event.

But lucy weighs 11 pounds,

And I'm pretty sure
Most of that is tequila by now.

The girl loves to move.

Oh, buzz-cut boys
Going through.

Mmm! I'm going in.

I've got time for one or two
More awkward interactions

Before the night
Is through.

[ india.Arie's "Video" plays ]

The bar is closed!

You finally quit.

Nope,
Just ran out of booze.

I think
I drank most of it.

That upside twisted slammer
Was living up to its name, man.

I don't know
If I'm more twisted or slammed.

I'm both.
I think I had three of them.

Or was it four?

You know,
The last time I saw you drunk,

You were passed out and naked
Outside my dorm room.

So, the truth comes out
After all these years.

You checked me out.

I did not.
It was uncomfortable and weird.

Well, it's for the best.

I was quite
The scrawny freshman.

I think I actually weighed
98 pounds.

But, you know, now...

You've been working out.

Can't you tell?
I'm huge.

I'm massive.
I'm marty schwarzenegger.

I can tell.
You're looking good.

And you are more beautiful
Than ever.

Um, you should be out there
With lucy.

Hi!

[ chuckles ]

Why should I feel bad

That I donated $7,000
To help save the bridge?

You shouldn't.

I don't. I thought the point
Was to save the bridge.

Well, the point was
To save it with knitting.

That doesn't make any --
I know it doesn't make
Any sense.

That's stars hollow.
That's just how it is.

It's hard for outsiders
To understand.

So I'm an outsider?

For now.

I thought
I was doing a good thing.

You just don't have to drop
All that money like that.

I know I don't have to.

You don't have to try so hard
To get people to like you.

[ laughing ]
That's funny.
Why?

'cause you're the one
Who's making me try so hard.

Bird-watching,
Backgammon, darts,

Assistant-managing
A peewee baseball team?

I just want --
I know.
You want people to like me.

You know what?
I'm a likable guy.

I always have been.

I may not be the smartest guy
Or the toughest guy,

But I'm the guy
That people like.

And you know why people in
Stars hollow are gonna like me?

Why?

Because I love you.

And I'm gonna be here,
Loving you.

You are?
You bet.

You know,
When you're a farmer,

You got to be there
For your crops.

It's not about the seeds
Or the soil.

It's about being there,
Being committed,

All day, every day,
Forever.

Farmer, huh?
Why not?

You know what,
Mr. "Doesn't seem like he knows

What he's talking about
But is actually pretty wise"?

What's that,

Mrs. "Goes through 500 emotions
Every hour of the day"?

I love you a lot.

Yeah, you're okay, too.

[ engine shuts off ]

Hey.

Hey.

April's not here.

I know. She's sleeping
At gabrielle wilder's tonight.

So, what's up?

I also know that gabrielle
Has a peanut allergy,

And before I drop her off,

I check that april
Isn't packing a snickers bar.

I also know that she likes
Gabby's coin collection,

So I thought I might take her
Over to a coin shop in stamford,

'cause she'd like it.

What are you doing here,
Luke?

You're always telling me I can't
Do this with your daughter

And that I can't do that
With your daughter.

Well, she' not just your
Daughter. She's my daughter too.

Luke.
No.No

I know I wasn't around for all
Those years.

That was your decision. That was
Your choice, anna.

And frankly, it was
A damn lousy one.

I don't get to see her born or
Take her first steps

Or take her to her first day of
School. None of it.

And I can never get
Any of that back. It's gone.

But that's not
Gonna happen anymore.

That I can guarantee you.

What're you saying?
That she's my kid. Alright?

She's our kid. And not just
Yours and I'm not gonna let you

Treat me this way.
I'm her father.

God! Ehy do I even
Have to say that?

April and I, we have this
Relationship okay?

You can't just decide things.
That's not how this works. Okay?

We have to make decisions
Together. Decisions about april.

And I will fight you for that,
Anna, if I have to.

I have rights. I'm her father.
And I have rights.
