Previously
On "Gilmore girls"...

Lorelai: "Once luke danes
Is in your life,

He is in your life forever."

Obviously you still have
Very deep feelings for the guy.

As you know, this course...

[ breathless ]
Will take a specific look at...

Processes and determinants...

Tell me you're not
In love with him.
I'm not in love with him.

And if you don't take this
Very seriously,

Then this whole thing
Could fall apart

Faster than you could
Possibly imagine.

And he'll be gone,
And you'll be alone again.

I can't be your rebound.

I'm sorry.

Christopher?

[ door closes ]

[ cell phone rings ]
Babette:
Ooh! What is that?

Lorelai:
It's just my phone.
Holy smoke!

I don't know
What I thought that was --

Some alarm on your pants
Or something.

No, the pants alarm
Sounds more like a siren.

You want to answer that?
Should we put this down?

That's okay. If we put it down,
We won't pick it up again.

Oh, this is gonna be good,

What with this one here
And the two palms.

Oh, boy, morey's eyes
Are gonna pop out of his head!

Why? Does he find plants
Particularly startling?

I'm making a jungle.
A jungle?

For the bedroom.
Ugh! Enough said.

[ telephone rings ]
Hey, is that
Your inside phone?

I'll call them back.

So, anyway, I got this negligee
With sort of a snake pattern.

Oh, boy!
Is this heavy!

It is. It is.
I'm sorry, doll.

I wasn't hoping
That you would lug this with me.

I was planning
On asking christopher.

Yeah, I haven't
Seen him much lately.

Well, his work
Keeps him busy.

What's he do --
Something with computers?

Very mysterious.
Yeah,
He's a man of mystery.

You know
Who's a man of mystery? Morey.
[ cell phone rings ]

After decades in the bedroom,
Who would have thought

Dressing up like a howler monkey
Would be such a turn-on?

I'm gonna get this,
Babette.

All right.
Hello?

Rory?

Honey, what's wrong?

Oh, no.

On my way.

Sorry, babette!

[ breathing heavily ]

Morey!

* 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

[ cell phone rings ]

[ ringing continues ]

Woman on p.A.: dr. Forrest,
Dial 182, please.

Excuse me, miss.
Is that your phone?

Oh. Um, sorry.

H-hello?

Lorelai: hey. I'm here.

Good.

Where are you?

I'm here.
I'm in the waiting room.

Okay. I must be
In the wrong waiting room.

I'm not in the e.R.

I'm in the cardiac
Intensive-care unit,

The c.I.C.U.

That's where I am, I think.
First floor?

First floor.

There's a red stripe
On the floor.

It's kind of orange here.

Orange?

Reddish-orange,
So maybe.

Orangey red. Maybe the lights
Make it look more red.

Oh. Hi.

Hey.
[ exhales deeply ]

Um, they're doing tests,
So that's where he is --

Blood tests
And another e.K.G.

They did an e.K.G.
In the ambulance,

But they're still trying
To determine

How much damage was actually
Caused by the heart attack.

But that's definitely
What it was.

It was a myocardial infarction,
Which is a heart attack.

I guess
The e.K.G. Tells them

How bad the blockage
Of his arteries is

And what degree of
Coronary-artery disease he has,

Or c.A.D.,
As they're calling it,

Because, apparently, everything
Is -- what do you call it?

An anagram? What's the thing
With the letters?

Acronym.

The c.A.D.,
C.I.C.U., the e.K.G.

Come here.

Ohh.

Mom, it was awful.
He just fell down.

[ sighs ]
It's gonna be okay.

Dr. Forrest,
Dial 182, please.

Hi, chris,
It's me again.

Uh...
I'm at the hospital now,

And, um, it was a heart attack,
But dad's okay.

He's just getting
Some tests.

So, um...We're in the c.I.C.U.
At john skinner medical center.

It's on the first floor,

And there's a red stripe
Running down the hallway.

Just please call me
When you get this, okay? Thanks.

[ exhales sharply ]
Wow.

Mm-hmm.

Well, my brain wasn't
Up to choosing between things,

So I got
One of everything.

You do me proud.

So, grandma's on her way.

I didn't talk to her,

But the girl at the club
Said she's en route.

Oh, okay.
And what about dad?

Oh, he's probably...
En route.

Hmm.
Is everything okay?

Yeah, I don't think
He's gotten my messages yet,

But he'll be here
When he does.

Okay.

Well...
What is your pleasure?

Well, let's see.

Uh...Nothing sweet,
I don't think.

No? A salty thing?

A fluorescent-orange
Ersatz-cheese thing?

I guess I'm not hungry.

Yeah, me neither.

I keep thinking this is all
Just a nightmare, but it's not.

It's a nightmare
But not a nightmare nightmare.

I have shoes on.

In my nightmares,
I never am wearing shoes.

I didn't know that.
It's the worst thing
In the dream, too.

I could be chased by snakes
Or in a nuclear explosion,

But then I look down,

And, "Oh, my god!
I'm not wearing shoes!"

I wonder what that means.

Probably means I have
A fear of hurting my bare feet

Or of losing my shoes.

Hmm.
Not so freudian, huh?

For me,
A snake is just a snake,

A slingback
Is just a slingback.

Dr. Goldstein: gilmore?

Hi. I'm dr. Goldstein.
You're richard gilmore's family?

Yes. Is he okay?

He's doing all right.

He's conscious, cogent,
And not in significant pain now.

Oh, good.
Good.

We just sent him to the cath lab
To get an angiogram.

After that, we should be able
To get a better sense

Of what kind of blockage
Is around his heart.

We'll figure out
Where to go from there.

Where would we go?

Uh, pardon?

I mean, where --
Where would we go?

Well, if the blockage
Is more serious,

We will have to consider
An emergency bypass surgery.

I promise
To let you know

As soon as we get the results
From the cath lab.

Try not to worry.
No, not worried.

Just normal amount
Of worried

For someone whose father's
Had a heart attack,

But not
Excessively worried.

Thank you, doctor.

I'll see you
In a little bit.

[ sighs ]

Dr. Battaglia,
Extension 198.

Have you seen him?

Oh, hi, mom.

No, not since
He was in the e.R.

Where is he?

The doctor said he's in the
Cath lab, getting an angiogram.

Nonsense.
It's true.

He said he would come back
When he had the results.

I'm emily gilmore.
I would like to see my husband.

What is
Your husband's name?

Gilmore!
Richard gilmore!

I'm his wife,
And I would like to see him now.

He's getting an angiogram.

The doctor will find you
As soon as they're done.

There's no need
To be cheery about it.

Someone
With your chipper personality

Ought to be a weather girl
Or a preschool teacher.

I'm sorry
You feel that way.

Oh, please.
Don't mope.

What happened
To all the competent people?

That's what
I'd like to know.

Was there some giant hole
They all fell into

Or a virus
That struck them all down,

Leaving the morons
To sit behind the desks?

Wouldn't you like to sit down,
Have a cup of tea?

What I want is the most
Perfunctory level of competence

From the people
With whom I interact.

That apparently
Is far too much to ask for.

We have snacks.
Yes, snacks.

We have salty snacks
And sweet snacks

And sweet/salty
Hybrid snacks.

Even at the club, the young men
And women that work there

Must have a combined I.Q.
Of a grapefruit.

You ask them
For a towel,

And they look at you
With the most vacant eyes.

I thought the girl
At reception was blind

The entire first month
She worked there --

But very enthusiastic about
The application of eyeliner.

Sounds pretty.

My husband
Has a heart attack,

And how long does it take them
To find me?

40 minutes.

The nitwit probably got lost

Between the front desk
And the tennis courts.

That sounds terrible.

None of this
Would have been a problem

If I'd been allowed
To keep my cell phone.

Cell phones have been banned
Because of noise pollution.

If that's the reason,
They should ban john abbott.

Every time that man hits a ball,
He grunts like a rutting hog.

He's twice as loud
As my cell phone.

They won't even let you leave
Your cell phone on vibrate.

What do they think we're doing,
Making drug deals?

I doubt that's it.

Which, by the way, are
Absolutely, 100% taking place.

I saw devorah inwood handing
Cardum kelly a small, blue pill

In the ladies' locker room

While they made shady eyes
At each other.

Drug deals at the club?
I don't think so.

Absolutely. The whole place
Is going to the dogs.

Oh, and now they want
To start charging us for meals,

On top of the king's ransom
In dues.

It's appalling.

The very idea of charging extra
For the junk they serve there.

Oh, and you know
What really irks me?

Lorelai: hmm?

They very rarely
Serve fish.

That's terrible, especially
For people who love fish.

It's their fault
That richard's here.

What do you mean?

2 1/2 months ago,
I read an article that said

Fish has been shown to prevent
Heart attacks and stroke

And has innumerable
Other health benefits.

Hey.

It's the omega-3
Fatty acids --

That and it's an incredibly lean
Source of protein.

So I had the maid
Cut out the article

So I could show it
To richard.

He agreed to eat more fish,
But not for dinner.

My spineless kitchen staff
Caved.

Emily, lorelai, I'm so sorry.
How are you holding up?

We're holding.

Logan,
It's so good of you to come.

Is there anything I can do?
Could I get you a cup of tea?

I just asked.
She doesn't want tea.

I would love a cup of tea.
That's very kind of you.

I'm on a tea hunt, then.

That's a fine young man, rory --
Very sweet, very considerate.

I like him.

He's one
Of the good ones.

Lorelai,
Where's christopher?

Oh, he's on his way.

From where?

Um, uh...

Dr. Goldstein.

I'm emily gilmore.

Good.
I'm glad you're here.

The blockage
Is worse than we'd hoped.

I think the best
Course of action --

Really the only
Course of action --

Is to do an emergency
Bypass surgery.

Open-heart surgery?

Let him finish,
Lorelai.

We'd like to go into surgery
As soon as possible.

Now would be the time
If you'd like to visit him.

Yeah,
We'd like to see him.

If you'll follow me
Please.

Feel free to ask me
Any questions you might have.

Are you the one who will be
Performing the surgery?

Yes, along with a team.
I'll be the chief surgeon.

Where did you
Go to school?

I'm sorry?

You d attend school,
Didn't you?
Mom.

No, it's okay.
Yes, I got my b.A. At yale.

I went to medical school
At harvard.

I did my residency
At columbia presbyterian

Before I became chief
Of cardiothoracic surgery here.

See?
See what?

Here we are.
I'll let you visit.

A nurse will be by to begin
Prepping richard for surgery.

Thank you, doctor.

And I watched his hands closely.
They're steady as a statue's.

Oh, and, richard,
He's yale undergrad,

Harvard medical school.

You don't say.

Well, if he does a good job,
I'll forget the harvard part.

I'll write that off
As a youthful indiscretion.

This room
Is rather intimate.

It's just fine, emily.
I promise you.

Now, rory, I'm sorry I gave you
A scare in class today.

Don't be silly.
I'm glad you're okay.

You're gonna be more okay
After the surgery.

Thank you.
Lorelai:
Are you okay, dad?

How are you feeling, considering
Everything? You look okay.

All in all, I think
I'd rather be in philadelphia.

[ chuckles ]
Ronald reagan.

Quoting w.C. Fields.

Oh, I didn't know that.
It would be great now.

Winter is a great time
To see the liberty bell

And the cream cheese.

That's all I got
On philadelphia.

Lorelai.

Cheesesteaks --
The philly cheesesteaks.

Richard, is your neck
Getting enough support?

It looks like
You need another pillow.

I think it's all right.

I got it, mom.

I can take care of it.

I'm just handing you
A pillow.

I don't want that pillow.
It doesn't have a pillowcase.

It does.
This is a pillowcase.

Yes, it has
One pillowcase.

It should have two
So the pillow is never exposed.

Now I have to ring
For a pillow.

We have a pillow
Right here.

Tucson.

What?

Tucson is extremely hot,

And it has a dry climate
That doesn't agree with me,

And I really don't think much
Of the way they dress out there.

I have a deep aversion
To cacti of all kinds.

And yet tucson is a place
Where I think I would rather be.

Anywhere but here,
Right, dad?

Although,
It's awfully dry.

And so hot.

You're right
About the fashion --

Ponchos and turquoise.

Oh, and men in sandals.
Spare me.

So, how's it going there,
Zach?

Aces.

Pastrami on rye --
Mustard, no mayo.

Cheeseburger --
Swiss, double pickles, fries.

If you need anything else,
Just holler.

My name's zach,
And, uh...I'll be your waiter.

You holding up okay?
Yeah.

I was not looking forward
To filling in for lane.

She's like,
"It's either this,

Or you fill in during
The whole childbirth deal."

Which would probably be
A bit more difficult.

Handing out food is cake

Compared to having a human being
Come out of you -- no offense.

None taken.
You're doing a good job.

Oh, man,
It's been great.

I mean,
It's been enlightening.

In the past,
I was the one at the table,

And now I'm the one
With the notepad and pencil.

You're on the inside.
It's cool.

Don't let the power
Go to your head.
No kidding.

You know what was
Freaking me out before?

I'm about to hand people
The food they're going to eat,

And I could do anything to it,
And they would have no idea.

They would just eat it.

Not that I would, of course,
But it's just intense.

Plus,
Everything smells so good.

I can see
Why lane digs this job.

Well, your enthusiasm
Is appreciated.

Right on.
Hey, you have another rag?

Cool.

Hey, luke?

Hey, babette.
What can I get you?

You still stocking the jungle
With snacks,

Whatever that means?

Luke, I got to tell you
Something.

Or, I don't know if I got to,
But I want to.

It's not that I want to
Like it's a good thing.

Lorelai's dad
Had a heart attack.

Oh, my god.

Rory called lorelai.
I was there.

Is he okay?

Well, he's not --
He's okay...I think...Right now.

They're at john skinner,
And that's all I know.

Oh, my god.

I-I thought
You would want to know.

Yeah, yeah, thanks.

All right.
Well, I'm gonna go.

Yeah. Thanks.

You know what it's like?

Working here is like having
A backstage pass at a show.

It's all-access, man.

Right. Right.

Hey, it's me again.

I don't know
If you got my other message.

Uh...We're still here
At the hospital,

And, uh...
Dad's gonna have surgery.

He's having a coronary bypass
Pretty soon.

I just came from his room,

And, um...He doesn't look bad,
You know?

He looks okay, considering.

But, uh...
He's lying down.

He just --
Just looks so small.

It just made me think
Of this time.

There was a tree in our yard
I would always climb,

And one day, I climbed up
Really, really high.

Dad came home from work.
I watched him go into the house.

I thought, "He looks so small."

It was so strange
To see him look like that.

Um...
[ sighs ]

Anyway, I should go, but, uh...
Call me when you get this, okay?

Bye.

Hello?

How are you? How is everything?
What can I do?

It's okay. I'm okay.

Dad had a heart attack,
And he's gonna have surgery.

But it's a pretty common
Operation, so...

And how are you?

I'm okay, considering.

What can I do?

Oh, nothing, hon.
I'm fine.

Can I send you anything?

I made lemon bars
And, ooh, pecan squares,

And I'm sending them over
With katie right now.

Oh, that was so sweet.

Is that lorelai?

Yes. Her dad's in surgery,
But he's fine.

How is rory doing?
Fine, thanks.

Tell lorelai
I say hello.
Michel says hello.

Tell michel I said hello.

She says hello.

I am thinking of her father
And wishing him well.

He's thinking of your father
And wishing him well.

Tell michel "Thank you."

She says "Thank you."

The zimmermans in room 4
Are not a married couple,

As we had thought,
But a brother and a sister.

I'm not telling lorelai that.
She's in a hospital.

They requested a rollaway bed,
And we do not have any left.

I am not talking to lorelai
About rollaway beds.

The zimmermans are demanding,
Very big, and they need a bed!

The murrays are checking out
At 3:00.

He can use the bed
From their room.

You can take the rollaway bed
From the murrays.

They're checking out
At 3:00.

Ahh! Very good.
Tell her "Thank you."

He says "Thank you"

And apologizes
For being such a pest.

Tell her I miss her here
Very, very much!

Emily: then don't stick us
In the back corner next time.

You absolutely did,
Anthony.

I was so close
To the kitchen,

I could have gotten my own plate
Without standing up,

Just stretched out my arm
Like rubberman, and...

[ chuckles ] No, no,
I'm just kidding.

So, tell me,
What's your special tonight?

Sea scallops?

Oh, you're torturing me,
Anthony, torturing me.

Well, give my love
To your wife.

Oh, I will.

Oh, just one of those
Last-minute business trips.

All right, then.
Bye-bye.

Somebody's very chipper
On the phone.

Somebody should consider
A career as a weather girl.

I've spent years
Cultivating my relationship

With the maitre d'
At persephone's.

I'm hardly about to let it
Go down the drain in one night.

"Call persephone's" --
Done.

We're missing
The sea scallops.

Persephone's does the most
Wonderful job with seafood.

I wish we'd eaten there
More often.

It's such a shame.

They make a cedar-plank salmon
That is --

I don't know
If you like salmon.

No, but I love
A nice, juicy cedar plank.

Salmon is one of the best fish
In terms of the omega-3s.

It's marvelous for you,
And it makes your skin glow.

Beauty tips
Are not really big

On my list of priorities
Right now, mom.

[ cell phone vibrating ]
Rory:
So I tell paris,

"I don't care if it would
Increase my chances

"Of getting a grant
To study in russia.

"I am not willing

To pretend to be an accomplished
Rhythmic gymnast."

How do you pretend to be
A rhythmic gymnast, anyway?

I don't even know.

Do you whirl ribbons?
Balance a ball on your nose?

She's taking
Our impending graduation

With a pinch
Of total insanity.

You should answer that.
Nah.

It's practically buzzing
Off the table. I don't mind.

I'll text them back
In a minute.

But you need to --

I don't need to do anything
But be right here with you.

Well, are you sure?

Aren't people gonna be mad
You're not answering your phone?

That's their problem.

You know who's gonna be mad
At me? Paris.

Because right now,
I'm missing a g.R.E. Prep course

And tea
With the branford librarian.

I imagine
She'll understand.

Paris?

You better start
Balancing a ball on your nose.

Emily: I need to cancel
Richard's tennis match.

I'm not gonna make it
To my book club tomorrow.

Just as well -- I haven't even
Cracked the cover.

Whatever gives suzanna shaw
The idea that the rest of us

Share her barbaric interest
In cormac mccarthy is beyond me.

Let's see. I need to return
The dean's call, and --

Oh, no. Not him again.
What's he doing here?

I don't know.

Hey. I was
Just in the diner.

Babette came and told me
Your dad had a heart attack.

I didn't even know
What I was doing.

I walked right out the diner
And drove straight here.

Now I realize
I might be in the way,

But if there's anything
I can do, I want to do it.

Uh...Well --

Hi, luke.
Hey, rory, logan.

Want some coffee?

No, I'm okay.
Thanks very much.

Look, I don't want to cause
Any kind of weirdness here.

I mean, I don't want
To make him feel --

Christopher isn't here,
But he will be any second, so...

I'll just get out of here.
Thanks.

There's just not much
For you to do.

Oh, yes, there is,
Absolutely.

You can drive to the yale campus
And pick up richard's car.

Mom,
He can't do that.

It's no problem.

I'm not sure
Where it's parked,

But it shouldn't be
Hard to find.

Check the faculty lot
And wherever they have parking.

It's a 2006 jaguar.
It's green.

Oh, and I think
It's a little low on gas.

If you wouldn't mind filling
The tank, that would be great.

Sure.

I'll get the key.

Is he supposed to drive the car
To the house,

Then take a cab to yale
To get his truck?

I have no objection
To that.

It's no problem.

Fill it with premium,

Not whatever sludge
They try to pass off as regular.

You do know how to drive
A european car, don't you?

Mom.
Absolutely.
Don't worry.

There's nothing to yank.
It's a jaguar, not a lawn mower.

Oh, my god!

Leave the key with soledad.

And...Here.
You can keep the change.

Emily, really,
It's my pleasure.

If you insist.

If you don't mind terribly,
I need someone to make sure

That the path to the front door
Is shoveled.

Mother, stop.

Hello?

Oh, hello. You got my message
About the fish.

Sorry.
We're all a little...

She read about how fish
Can prevent heart attacks.

Now she thinks
It's the key to everything.

Well, fish is good.

Yeah.

All right,
I should get going.

Okay. Well, thanks.

Yes! Goodbye!

Another incompetent.

Get luke back. I need him to
Bring a check for the fish man.

I'm not.
He's done enough already.

Reschedule the fish man
For later in the week.

This is important.

It's important
To have fish right now?

Logan and I can meet
The fish man if you want.

That would be marvelous.

I want to get
Some of grandpa's stuff

So he has it
When he wakes up.

I'll do that.

You pay the fish man,
And I'll get grandpa's stuff.

That's silly.
They're in the same place.

But then
We'll both have a job.

Going to grandpa's
Is one job.

Somebody needs
To look after grandma.

Fine.

If you really want --

No, she's my mother.

Well, you're my mother.

Exactly.
It's a tangled web.

Here you go, logan.

Have him put the salmon,
Swordfish,

King mackerel, and tuna
In the downstairs freezer

And the trout, sea bass,
Snapper, and bluefish

In the butler's pantry.

Salmon, swordfish,
King mackerel, tuna downstairs.

Trout, sea bass, snapper,
Bluefish upstairs.

If you rode in the ambulance,
You and I don't have a car here.

Take it before I change my mind.
Level 3.

Thanks. Bye.

Bye. I'll be here
Doing my job.

How come
You don't have a car?

I came by chopper.

Chopper motorcycle
Or chopper helicopter?

Helicopter.

You came here
In a helicopter?
Yep.

Oh, I do need
To call quentin.

I wonder if they have
A fax machine here.

And I'm hungry.
Are you hungry?

Probably. I should be.
Don't feel hungry.

We should get
Something to eat.

First, I want to see
If those addled nurses

Will allow me
To use their fax machine.

[ sighs ]

[ grunts ]

Lorelai: hello?

It's me -- babette.
How you doing, sweetie?

Oh, hey. I'm okay.

What's the news
With your dad?

He's in surgery,
But we think he's gonna be okay.

Oh, I'm sure.
Don't you worry about a thing.

He's a very vital man --
Lots of chi, you know?

Oh...Really? I didn't know
You noticed his chi.

Are you kidding me?
Prana, chi, life force --

Whatever you call it,
Your daddy's got it in spades.

Sexy men like him often do.

That's what makes them so sexy.
They're ripe with life.

O-kay.

He's gonna be fine.

Thanks, babette.

He's like warren beatty,
Your dad -- or sean connery

Or -- who's that one
I always found so sexy?

The evil politician
With the glasses --

Henry kissinger!

I know him.

You might not agree
With his politics.

You might have lived
Through vietnam and thought,

"That man is the devil,"
But you can't deny he's sexy.

You know why? Chi.

I get it.
So, how's paul anka?

Oh, yeah, he's great,
Just great.

What's wrong?

I don't want
To bother you.

Go ahead.

Oh, nothing
To worry about.

It's just...

I'm afraid
His bladder's gonna explode.

I can't get him
To come with me.

He needs to relieve himself,
But it's a no-go.

He's a no-go.

He's afraid of the porch steps.
Just lay something down for him.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

Wow!
Yeah, that worked great. Wow.

He's got some chi of his own,
This one.

Ooh.
Only problem is...

What?
Nothing, nothing.

It's just a little cold
Without my coat, that's all.

Not your concern.

So, sweetie, if you need
Anything else, you'll call me?

Okay, I'll call you.

Okay.
Give my love to your father.

I will, babette.
Hey, thanks for calling.

Oh, sure thing, hon.
Bye.

Logan:
Uh-huh, right.

No, it's not a problem.
It's perfectly understandable.

Take a right on sycamore, left
Onto old sawbrook, and then...

That's right.

No, I mean a left
Into the driveway.

I mean that's correct --
Making a left.

I mean, a left
Is the correct choice.

Right.

That's correct, I mean.

Okay, great. Great.
We'll be here. See you soon.

Sounds like
Abbott and costello

Got nothing
On you and the fish man.

You liked
The "Right/right" business?

It could use polish,

But me and the fish man have
Plans to bring back vaudeville.

Logan and the fish man.
The fish man and logan.

He gets top billing?
He can juggle.

[ cell phone vibrating ]
The snow delayed him, but
He should be here in 15 minutes.

I think your blackberry
Is going to explode.

It's business stuff --
Nothing that can't keep.

Business stuff, huh?

Business stuff that has to do
With the chopper you flew in on?

We don't have to
Talk about it now.

I'm interested.
I want to know.

Also, I could really use
The distraction.

Besides, I want to make sure
You haven't stolen a chopper.

It was loaned to me
By a hedge-fund manager.

Ohh, well...

I was at his country home
In montauk when you called,

And he just...

Loaned you his chopper,
As they say.
Pretty much.

I think loaning someone
Your chopper

Is a sign of trust
In many cultures.

That sounds like
A good sign.

Yeah, I think
It is a good sign.

What do you need funding for?
Just tell me something.

I don't want to be nosy,
But I'm really interested.

Come on. Come on.

Okay, you asked for it,
So here it goes.

I want to buy
Another internet company.

It's a web-based,
Interactive-media platform.

This guy in austin
Created it.

It's amazing, fast, and so easy
To use, even I can use it.

The idea is to build
On the web presence we have

And turn into
A user-generated media hub

Where the members can share
Videos, articles, ideas.

That sounds like
A good idea.

It's a deal, too.

The guy who created this
Is such a computer geek,

He just wants to get started
On his next project,

So he's willing to sell
For only $5 million.

Oh, only.
I know. I know.

But in this world,
That's relatively cheap.

Chad hurley and steve chen
Sold youtube for $1.65 billion,

And who knows how much

Mark zuckerberg will get
For facebook?

Yeah, comparatively.

I'm planning on putting up
$3 million of my own money.

I'm trying to line up a fund
To kick in the other $2 million.

You have $3 million?

Yeah, in my trust fund.

Haven't you asked your dad?

I thought
You were working for him.

I pitched him the idea,
And he rejected it.

I have to move fast before
One of the big-dog companies

Sniff me out
And try to outbid me.

You still want
To take this chess thing?

Yeah, we should.

Well, you sound
Really excited.

I am.
It's exciting.

The economies of scale
Are incredible.

I need to prove out
The business model first.

And the barriers to switching
For your current clientele

Will probably increase,
Too.

That's what
My father doesn't understand.

The opportunity cost
Of not doing it

Is that somebody else will,
And the barriers to switching
--

Hey.
What?

Are you using business-speak?
Are we speaking businesses?

I believe we are.

Color me impressed.

I take economics.

Sure,
With professor gilmore.
Yeah.

We learned about ideal
Business theory last semester.

I'm really enjoying his class.
I've learned a lot.

He's a really good teacher,
Which isn't a given.

Some smart people

Can't translate their smarts
To other people,

But he is really good
At explaining things,

And he makes you
Want to learn more.

Next week, we're gonna
Split up into 10 groups,

And each of us have to create
A business plan.

Like "The apprentice."

He's gonna be like donald trump,
Which is ridiculous.

Actually, we don't know
What's gonna go on next week,

Do we?

I guess not.

But it's good -- you got him
A bunch of stuff to read.

I can hardly tell
What anything is.

Look at that pale,
Misshapen thing.

Is that a sandwich
Or a piece of chicken?

Maybe
It's a chicken sandwich.

It's quiche.

That blobby, white thing
Is supposedly quiche lorraine?

It doesn't say
"Quiche lorraine."

Maybe it's
"Quiche blobby white thing."

The audacity
Of charging money for this.

It's hospital food.

What's that
Supposed to mean?

It's a cliché.

What is?

Hospital food being bad.

Exactly.

What?

It's a cliché for a reason.

Clichés are true things that
People are tired of being true.

Like, "A penny saved
Is a penny earned."

It is, invested wisely.

I don't think
That's a cliché, mom.

Of course it's a cliché.

That's an overused saying,

Like "I'm sweating bullets"
Or "It's as cold as ice."

Some overused sayings
Are true,

Like "Children should be seen
And not heard."

"Mother knows best."

"If you don't have
Anything nice to say,

Don't say
Anything at all."

[ cell phone rings ]

Hello?

Oh, quentin, hello.

No, I'm not busy at all.
You haven't interrupted a thing.

Thank you for returning my call
So promptly.

Oh, that's very kind, quentin.

That's right. Yes.

Oh, I'm fine, thank you.

Listen,
It's been a while

Since I've seen
Some of the paperwork.

I was wondering if you could fax
Some things to the hospital.

I think
I have access to a machine.

The first thing
I'd like you to fax is his will.

That's right --

Both the standard will
And the living will.

Well, I'm not sure about the dnr
Provisions he established.

Oh, that would be wonderful.
Thank you, quentin.

Talk to you soon.
Bye.

Mom, what was that?

Do we like this table,

Or is it too close
To that man with the I.V.?

Shouldn't there be a separate
Dining area for sick people?

Mother, you're getting
Dad's will faxed here?

Yes.

Why? You need to read it
Right now?

You want to make sure he left
You the mercedes and the jag?

I don't care what you think.
I'm being pragmatic.

You know what?
I'm not hungry anymore.

Yeah,
That's a good one.

[ laughing ]
Yeah, all right.

Here's this.

I also found
A bunch of his albums --

Bobby short
Singing cole porter,

A couple
Of his gershwin ones --

"Rhapsody in blue"
And "An american in paris" --

A couple
Of scott joplin records,

Although scott joplin

Might be a little zazzly
For the hospital.

Yeah, I don't know what
Their policy about ragtime is.

Oh, I also found
"Chuck berry at the fillmore,"

Which I gave him
For his 60th birthday.

Also, a little schubert
And debussy,

Which should be
Nice and relaxing.

I didn't find
The bing crosby album I wanted.

It's with his son gary.

It's this song called

"When you and I were young,
Maggie blues."

Grandpa sings along

And says, "I always wanted
To be a crooner."

You want me
To help you look?

I looked in two closets
And under a couch,

And all I found
Was the sleeve.

I could take it for decoration,
But it might underline

The fact that we don't have
"Maggie blues."

I'd bring it.
Yeah?

The fish man successfully
Unloaded all the fish

Per your grandmother's
Request.

Everything worked out
With the check?

Yep, the fish man was happy.
I laughed at his c.O.D. Joke.

Hmm?

C-o-d -- cod.

Ohh.

Yeah, just like that.

Hmm. That fish man,
He's a funny one.

Believe me, I know.
I'm hardy to his laurel.

We have a deck of cards,
We have the chessboard.

We have what I think
Is a backgammon set.

I grabbed grandma
A pair of pants

Because I wanted her
To be comfortable,

But then I thought
That might be offensive to her.

Offensive how?
I have no idea.

Then I grabbed a skirt,

But that opened up
The whole stockings, pantyhose,

"Going through my grandma's
Underwear drawer" can of worms.

Each outfit needs a different
Top and a pair of shoes.

Do you want to know
Who rivals imelda marcos?

Emily gilmore?
It's unbelievable.

No biped needs
That many pairs of shoes.

Do you know what else
I wanted to grab?

By grandpa's bed,
There is a bookmarked copy

Of "A monetary history
Of the united states."

Because who doesn't love
Milton friedman?

Milton friedman's on the
Syllabus, so maybe he'd want it.

Hey!
What's that?

Bing crosby
And gary crosby.

Oh, no way!

It was
In the wrong sleeve.

He can croon
With "Maggie blues."

Oh, perfect.

I'm gonna start
Loading this stuff in the car.

Okay.

Logan?

Yes?

Thank you. Thank you so much
For everything.

Of course.
But you don't have to thank me.

There's nowhere else
I'd rather be.

There you are. I've been
Looking for you everywhere.

[ sighs ] Oh, yeah?

I just got these faxed,
And --

Please, can we drop this?

I need to verify
Your social-security number.

I don't want to give you
My social-security number.

Help me pick out
A gift for dad.

What do you think I'm trying
To do, steal your identity?

I've just had enough
Of talking about

Social securities
And wills, okay?

Your father's lawyer
Faxed these from the bank,

And I need
Your social-security number.

You have got to be
Kidding me.

What would I be
Kidding about?

You're acting like dad is dead.
Dad is not dead.

Six years ago, when your father
Was in the hospital,

We were
Completely unprepared,

And we agreed
To never let that happen again.

We made a plan, and I am simply
Following through on the plan.

Your plan was
To chat up persephone's

To make sure you don't lose
Your special table

And to order
Tons of swordfish and salmon

To keep your skin glowing

And to happily discuss
With quentin

Whether or not
Dad should be resuscitated?

These are things
That need to be dealt with.

What has to be dealt with
Is that dad could be dying.

What you're dealing with
Is phone calls and a checklist.

You're not his secretary.
You're his wife.

And what do you know
About being a wife?

You've been married for what --
40 days? That's nothing.

Your father and I have been
Married for over 40 years.

For 2/3 of my life, I have been
The wife of richard gilmore.

I run his household.
I plan his meals.

I buy his clothes, entertain
His business associates.

When he loses his
Reading glasses, I find them.

When he wants a nightcap.
I make it for him.

If he can't remember
The name of a colleague's wife,

I whisper it in his ear.

That's what I do --
I take care of him.

That's my job.
That's who I am.

If I could be performing
His surgery, I would be,

But I can't --
It's out of my hands.

[ voice breaking ]
It's out of my hands,

And there's nothing I can do
But wait.

I could lose him,
Lorelai.

He's my whole life,
And there's nothing I can do!

Mom.

I'm sorry.
This is inappropriate.

No, it's not.
It's fine.

[ sniffles ]
Oh, god, I'm a mess.

[ sniffles ]

Did you just take those?

Don't worry about it.
Pay for it later.

[ sighs ]

Just a few more?

Mm-hmm.
They're good, right?

They stick in your teeth.

But, yes, they are good.

Are there any more?

Are you kidding?
There's a ton.

Not too many.
There's no such thing.

I wonder
Why they call them "Duds."

I don't know.
Do you guys know?

Nope.
I could make something up,
But no.

Seems a rather counterintuitive
Name for a type of candy.

So, he's out of surgery,
And it went extremely well.

His recovery
Won't be immediate.

He still has several days
Here at the hospital.

We can go over that later.
He's groggy now and tired.

After he gets some rest,
You can all visit with him,

But for now,
Maybe just his wife.

Thank you, doctor.

Tell dad "Hi" from us,
Mom.

I will, lorelai.

Mmm.

Everything's in order,
You'll be glad to know.

I called harold larkin

And the chairman
Of the economics department.

They send their best wishes
For a speedy recovery.

I canceled
Our dinner reservations

For the next couple
Of weeks.

I sent regrets
To sarah osgood,

Who's hosting the d.A.R.
Spring fling this year.

I left word
For the sudburys

That we won't be able
To host bridge this week.

[ chuckles ]
Uh, what else?

Oh, and I've been in touch
With quentin.

He's been kept abreast
Of the whole situation.

And I bought fish, richard,
So much fish --

Uh, tuna and trout
And snapper and salmon and --

[ drowsily ]
Sounds just fine, emily.

That sounds just fine.

[ sighs ]
Hi, it's me -- again.

Um, dad's out of surgery,

And it went well,
And he's doing fine, so...

It's good news.

I just --
I wanted you to know...

Because...

I don't know why.

'cause you haven't returned
Any of my calls.

But I just thought I would, uh,
Tell you what's going on

Because...
I'm your wife

And...I think
That's what I'm supposed to do.

No idea how to be your wife,
But I'm trying.

You're my husband,
You know, and...

It seems like you should be here
Or call me back.

I mean, I'm pretty sure
That's what married people do,

Is be there for each other.

But I know you're upset,
And I know we had a fight,

But this is just
Bigger than that, you know?

It's my dad,
And he's had a heart attack.

And everybody's been here.

I mean, I've talked
To sookie and even michel

And patty and babette,

And they've all been here
For me, but...

[ exhales sharply ]

My husband's...Not here.

That's not okay, chris,
You know?

It's not okay.

Here we go --
A little "Maggie blues."

[ "Maggie blues" plays ]

Ahh.

[ chuckles ]
That is bing and gary crosby.

Why doesn't anybody
Name their kid "Bing" anymore?

You could have
Named me "Bing."

You didn't look like
A bing.

I don't even know
If I should be insulted.

I wish I were a crooner.

I also brought you
Some gershwin,

Some chuck berry,
And the andrews sisters.

Ooh,
And some milton friedman.

The guy who sang
"Spirit in the sky"?

No, that was
Norman greenbaum.

No, milton friedman's

The economist who won
The nobel prize in the '70s.

When you're sick of reading
Sir arthur conan doyle,

You can pick up friedman
For a real mystery

And deduce
The disadvantages

Of government intervention
In economic policy.

What do you say, dad --
Here or philadelphia?

What's the call?

I don't think
I'd like to be in philadelphia.

I think
I'd rather be in new haven.

Yeah, it's okay here.

We can import cream cheese
And cheesesteaks

And any other
Kind of cheese.

You look good, dad.

This outfit's not up to
Your usual j. Press standards,

Unless it's got
Some brass buttons I can't see,

But...You look good.

You look tall.

I think I'm just gonna...
Close my eyes

For...
Just a little minute.

Is he asleep?

I think so.

Should we draw a mustache
On him?

He's already got
A mustache.

Oh, yeah.

The music's nice.

Yeah, it is,
Isn't it?

Hey, rory?

Hey, mom?

You know, I'm glad to see you
Doing so well with logan.

I'm happy
That you're happy.

Thanks.

He's not half bad, that kid.
He's almost okay.

Yeah, he's all right.

[ chuckles ]

Hey, uh, mom?

Hey, uh, rory?

Um, do you...Know
Where dad is?

No, hon.

For all I know,
Maybe he's in philadelphia.

We should be able to move him
Out of the c.I.C.U. In 24 hours.

If everything goes
As planned,

He should be home
In five or six days.

Everything will go as planned.
I'm sure of it.

I can show you the room
Where we'll be moving richard.

Does it have a window?

The room he's in
Has a window so small,

It's almost a peephole.

I believe
It does have a window.

Go ahead.
I'll be right there.

Okay, mom.

Just be careful
Of this bag here,

'cause it's leaking
A little bit.

Hey, you're back.

Oh. Hey.
I didn't want to bug you.

I wanted to drop off some food
For you guys and get going.

You didn't have to do that.

It's all right. I wanted
To make some stuff anyway, so...

All right, I'm gonna
Get out of here now.

He's okay.
The surgery went well.

Oh, that's terrific.
That is such good news.

They think he'll be able
To go home in a couple days.

Oh, that's so good.
Yeah.

So, how's he looking?

Um...He looks good...

Big...Tall.

That's good. Yeah, he's tall.
He's a big man.

He is a big, tall man.

Oh, excuse me.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm looking
For richard gilmore.

And you are?
I'm his son-in-law.

He's in room b-10.
It's just down the hall.

Take a right
At the nurses' station.

Is he, uh...

The surgery went well.
He's gonna be fine.

Good.
Down the hall, right?

Yeah.

Thank you.

So, I got a couple of burgers,
Assortment of sandwiches.

There's some salads
In case you want to eat salad.

All right,
Couple pieces of pie,

Half a dozen
Chocolate-chip cookies,

And, of course,
There is the fish bag.

Lorelai:
You brought a fish bag?

I heard
Somebody talking about fish.

There's two fillets, okay,
Lobster roll, fish tacos,

Two tuna-fish sandwiches,

Some fried fish,
And fish sticks.

Hi. You're here.
I'm here.

All right,
I'm gonna get going.

Yeah, you should.

I'm glad
Your dad's doing good.

[ door opens ]

Why didn't you call me?
I didn't think you were coming.

Clearly.

No, he just brought food.
I didn't call him.

I don't want to talk
About this -- not now.

Dad. Hey.

Christopher,
I'm so glad you're here.

Of course, of course.

I'm so glad to hear
That richard's okay.

How you doing, kiddo?

I'm okay. We're gonna go
Visit grandpa again.

Do you want to come?
He'd be happy to see you.

That'd be great.
Okay, come on.

It'll be all right.

Every cloud
Has a silver lining.

Thanks, mom.

Well, blood
Is thicker than water.

Hmm.
