Previously
On "Gilmore girls"...

I didn't get the internship
At the new york times.

We heard the song.

Gave me goosebumps.

The way you locked eyes
With him.

No, no, it's just karaoke,
You know?

I got swept up
In the lyrics and the moment.

It didn't mean anything.

Rory gilmore...

Will you marry me?

Man:
Lorelai leigh gilmore.

Logan...I can't.

Goodbye, rory.

Lorelai: I'm telling you,
It's her.

Rory:
Trust me, it's not.

Why would christiane amanpour
Be at the dragonfly?

She wouldn't.
She is.

You went up to her
And said hi,

And she said, "Hi,
I'm christiane amanpour"?

No, I didn't go up to her
At all.

I saw that it was her,
And I went to get you.

So I could look at
A fake christiane amanpour?

She's real.

Remember the time when you saw
Sandra day o'connor?

This is different.
I haven't had any cough syrup.

I guarantee you
It's not her.

You doubt my ability
To recognize

A glamorous, international
War correspondent?

I guarantee you
It's not her.

Oh, my god,
That's christiane amanpour!

I can't meet christiane amanpour
In my pajamas.

I tried to get you
To change.

How long
Has she been here?

I just saw her eating breakfast.
I went home and got you.

Hey, michel, how long has
Christiane amanpour been here?

She checked in late last night,
Room 7.

She's staying here?
You didn't tell me?

I wanted to avoid yet another
Embarrassing incident.

What are you
Talking about?

You always
Embarrass yourself

When celebrities
Stay at the inn.

I do not.

Jane pauley, harry belafonte,
Marisa tomei.

He's right, you know?

Marisa tomei's mother's
Best friend

Is my hairdresser's
Cousin's roommate.

That's just freaky.

I'm just saying
You make them uncomfortable.

I run an inn.
These are my guests.

What am I supposed to do --
Ignore them?

I think
That might be best.

I'm gonna go over and say hi
And see if she'll meet you.

What? Okay.

Wait.
Don't be funny.

Excuse me,
Ms. Amanpour?

Hello, I'm lorelai gilmore.
I run the inn.

Very nice to meet you.
It's a lovely inn.

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry to bother you,

But my daughter
Is a huge fan of yours.

That's very nice to hear.
Thank you.

She just graduated from yale,
Actually,

Where she was the editor
Of the yale daily news.

Anyway, she'd love to meet you,
If that's okay.

I'd love to.
Is she here?

Yes, she is.
Rory, come here.

Come on.

Okay, here she is.
This is rory gilmore.

Rory, meet
Christiane amanpour.

Hi, rory. How are you?
Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

I'm sorry to meet you
In my pajamas.

I don't usually
Walk around town like this.

I just think
You are so inspiring.

Your reporting is so bold
And moving and fascinating.

I know you've won
Nine emmys,

But I just don't think
That's enough --

Not that you care about that
Kind of thing,

But I just want to say
Thank you.

Thank you.
That's nice of you.

And your mother says
That you've graduated yale,

Editor of the yale daily news --
That's not bad.

Thank you. I want to pursue
A career in journalism.

Is it print you want?
Television? Cnn, maybe?

Oh, I'd love to work
For a major daily.

Do you know which one?

Any one
That will take me.

That's the spirit.

You just get in there,
Show them what you've got,

And the rest
Will take care of itself.

That's my plan.

Listen,
I don't often do this,

But I'm going to
Give you my card,

And if you want
To send me some stuff,

I'll have a look at it
And stay in touch.

Seriously? Thank you.
[ horn honks ]

That's my cab out there,
So I'm gonna go now.

It was really nice
To meet you.

Nice to meet you.
Good luck. Take care.

Thank you so much.

[ gasps ]

I can't believe

I just met christiane amanpour
In my pajamas.

Well, I'm sure
You made an impression.

* 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
*

Could be here
At lake compounce,

Home of the boulder dash,

"The number-one choice
Of wooden roller coasters,"

According to mr. Arthur levine
Of about.Com.

The venerable mr. Levine --
A legend in coaster criticism.

So you've heard of him.

What coaster connoisseur
Hasn't?

"Great airtime," he says.

"Smooth ride, relentless speed
From start to finish."

You can admit it
If you're scared.

I'm not scared.
Are you scared?

No, I'm not scared,
But I'm not the one who screams.

That happened once.

You nearly busted
My eardrum.

You want to
Keep talking smack

Or tell me what comes after
The boulder dash?

How about the cyclone
In coney island?

And then we can head west
To the millennium force in ohio.

This calls it
A "Giga roller coaster."

You know what I say?
No hands, eyes open.

That's right.
You heard me.

I'll believe it
When I see it.

Well, believe it.

Okay, I am done --

74 résumés
Addressed and sealed.

Not at all excessive.

I just wanted to make sure
I didn't leave a stone unturned.

Yes, rocks, pebbles, boulders --
They've all been turned.

I got it all done
Before our trip.

Can you believe it?

Oh, man,
I have a lot of books.

Hey, there's a cool state-fair
Coaster in springfield.

50-mile detour --
Worth it.

Hmm. Ohh.

Ohh.

The rocket.

The rocket.

Have you talked to him?

No.

It comes in waves,
You know?

Big ones...
Really close together.

Well, the waves will
Get smaller, I promise.

You just have to give it time,
You know?

You have to feel sad
And get through it.

Believe me, I'm letting myself
Feel plenty sad.

That's good --
I mean, it's not good,

But under the circumstances,
That's good.

I just can't imagine it
Feeling better.

But it will someday,
I promise.

Yeah?
Do you feel better about luke?

Uh, yeah.

I feel better because...

I think we're done.

What? Maybe you guys
Just need more time.

More time? I've given him
All the time in the world.

Every time I'm vulnerable

Or I say something
Or do something like the song,

He doesn't do anything.

Well, he's always been
A little slow to respond.

Yeah.

I don't want to make
Any more excuses, you know?

I just don't think
He's over you.

Well, it doesn't matter.
I'm over him.

I need someone who can feel,
Who can show me how he feels.

He can't do that.

I guess that makes sense.

Anyway, we're better as friends,
Don't you think?

Like, "Hey, luke,
Can I get some coffee?"

Friends like that --

Like, "Hey, luke,
Can you make all the burgers

For rory's re-enactment
Graduation party?"

What re-enactment
Graduation party?

Just a graduation
Re-enactment party

For the people who couldn't go
To your actual graduation.

All you have to do is throw on
That cap and gown again,

Go up on a little podium
That somebody's gonna build,

And listen to
"Pomp and circumstance."

Mom!

It's a party.
It's gonna be fun.

Ugh. You owe me.

Okay, I won't make fun of you
When you scream.

I'm not gonna scream.

Once a screamer,
Always a screamer.

I was 7.

Like that counts.

All right, give me
300 hot dogs, 250 burgers.

How about brats?
No brats.

And enough buns, obviously,
To go with all that.

Brats go over very big
At outdoor parties.

I know the woman
Throwing the party,

And she and her daughter
Are dogs-and-burgers people.

The party's saturday,
So I want delivery on friday.

No sweat.
I'll give you half off brats.

Somebody cancel a big order,
Charlie?

I tried to tell her,

"Lady, nobody eats bratwurst
At a wedding."

Right. I'll see you, man.
Thanks.

Oh, hey, chuck,
How you doing?

There's your uncle lukie!

Say, "Hi, uncle lukie!"

When she just stares like that,
That's her way of saying hi.

Works for me.
How you doing, liz?

Pretty good.
How about you?

Oh, god, I'm crazed.
You want something to eat?

No, we just stopped by

'cause doula misses
Her uncle lukie.

She really misses him.

I cannot babysit today.

Please! I just need
A little break.

I'm really swamped today.

Besides, I'm really trying
To lay in the stuff

For rory's party
Next week.

I really want to get something
Special for that party,

And every item of clothing
That I own

Is covered in spit-up.

Sorry.

Okay, if you can't do it,
You can't do it.

So, did you
Give it to her?

What?

The necklace --
Did you give it to lorelai yet?

That was just a backup gift
For rory.

That was no backup gift.
And what about the song?

Forget about the song.
The song meant nothing.

We're friends.
That's it.

And you're good
With being just friends.

Yeah.
I don't buy it.

Then maybe you should
Give her the necklace.

I'm really busy here.

Fine.

Could you mix a sweet potato
And a banana in a blender?

It's doula's favorite.

Sure. And don't slip out
While I make it.

I don't see why rory
Had to take this meeting

During our friday-night
Dinners.

It's not even an interview.

If it was an interview,
I would understand,

But it's a drink.

It's a contact, mom.

She's trying to remind him
Who she is.

As if anyone
Could forget.

Rory wants to make sure
She's got her bases covered

Before we go out of town

So that she can relax
And have fun.

But I don't think this drink
Should eat into our time.

Maybe we'll stay later.

For after-dinner drinks?

Maybe.

So, how long
Will you two be gone?

Oh, a couple weeks,
A month.

You're riding roller coasters
For a month?

As long as our stomachs
Can take it.

This is what
Yale graduates do?

She's tired.
She needs a break.

Plus, this might be
My last shot.

What are you
Talking about?

Well, she's gonna get a job,
And who knows where?

This might be the last time

I can really spend time with her
Like this.

Honestly, lorelai,
Must you be so maudlin?

I'm not being maudlin.
I'm being realistic.

So, how are things
At the inn?

Oh, good.
Busy, but good.

I have an idea for you.

Oh, no.
Hmm?

Oh, no, don't stop there.
Go on.

I think you should add a spa
To your inn.

A spa?

Yes, spas are exploding.

Sounds dangerous.

All of our friends

Are trading island vacations
For spa holidays.

I don't know, mom.

When I was the ballantyne
Resort, it got me thinking.

This is really something
I think you should do.

Small country inns
Are old news, lorelai.

Destination spas are what
Everyone's talking about.

Mom, I told you
Business is good.

I don't need to rub people with
Rocks or wrap them in seaweed.

Well, the travel market
Is fickle.

It wouldn't hurt
To stay ahead of the curve.

I don't have the money
For expansion.

[ doorbell rings ]

Will you at least think about it
Before you say no?

Yes, I will think about it.

Hi, sorry I'm late.

How were the drinks?

Good. I got a job.

[ gasps ]
Tonight?

I leave in three days.
I can't leave in three days.

Leave where?

What's the job, honey?

Well, I was having drinks
With hugo gray, right?

Who's this hugo gray?

He runs an online magazine.
Rory's been writing for him.

We were just talking about
Different opportunities

And where
I've already applied,

And he mentioned that
The reporter

That was covering the
Barack obama campaign for him

Dropped out because his fiancée
Got a job in dubai,

So they're moving.

So hugo asked me if that was
Something I'd be interested in

And I said yes
And he told me more about it

And apparently I would be
On the campaign trail

With the other reporters --

The planes, the buses,
The whole deal.

It's only an online magazine,
So I wouldn't be staying

Where the wall street journal
People stay at night.

Who cares?

But I would be traveling
With them.

I'd be filing stories
Right up until the convention.

Have you talked
Salary yet?

Yeah,
It's next to nothing,

But all my meals and travel
And hotels would be covered,

So I wouldn't have
That many expenses.

That's fine.
You're just starting out.

Plus, it sounds like you'll be
Making excellent contacts.

I would be.

It could be
Quite grueling, rory --

All that constant travel,
The seedy motels.

She can handle it.

I hope so. I said yes.

That's great.

It is, right?

You're gonna be working
On a presidential campaign.

But in three days I'd be leaving
For who knows how long.

It could be two years
If barack does well.

And what does that mean --

I'm only gonna come home
On holidays?

And I need some transition time,
And the roller coasters --

How am I gonna go on
All the roller coasters

If I have to be in iowa
On monday

At the town hall meeting

At the quality inn and suites
Ballroom in sioux city?

You're gonna be fine.

[ sighs ]

What about
The roller coasters?

We'll do it another time.

This is what
You've been working for.

Yeah.
I guess it is.

[ sighs ]

I would have credentials --
Real press credentials.

Isn't that crazy?

It's not crazy.

So, this is it.

This is the last time
We'll see you

For who knows how long.

Oh, yeah, I guess it is.

After-dinner drinks
For sure.

Hear, hear.

Where am I gonna find a laptop
Car adapter by tomorrow?

24-hour laptop-car-adapter
Store.

Seriously, mom.

That's our mission today.
We'll buy or borrow.

Hey, caesar,
Is luke around?

Sure.
How are we today, ladies?

Fine.
We'll be finer
With a little coffee.

Two to go, please.

With pleasure.
Hey, luke, you got company.

Here, let me take that.

I'm fine.
It's not a problem.

It's becoming one.
Take it. All right.

Hey. Hey, rory!

Hi.
What was all that about?

He's just trying to show me

He can handle things
If I leave.

If?

The boat trip's
Been cancelled,

But caesar's
Got it in his head

That I'm gonna leave
At some point

So he can prove he can --
Whatever.

Caesar:
Java one, java two.

So, luke...
[ sighs ]

Remember all the burgers
And hot dogs I ordered

For rory's party
A week from saturday?

I have to cancel them.

Why?

The party's cancelled.

Wait, did you just say rory's
Graduation party is cancelled?

No, it's good news.
Someone got a job.

What job?

I'm gonna be a reporter
For an online magazine.

It's better than that --
She's going to iowa,

And she's gonna be on the
Campaign bus with barack obama.

No party at all?

Babette.

Congratulations.
That's great news.

Thank you. I'm really excited,
But I'm nervous.

I have to be
A real reporter.

You'll be a great one.

She will, so, sorry,
But no rory, no party.

But you promised us
A re-enactment.

We can still do
The re-enactment.

Remember my suggestion --
Lulu plays rory?

It's not the
Same, kirk.

And I was so looking forward
To having a good cry.

Uh, okay.

You want a re-enactment?

We can give you one
Right now.

Come on, rory.

Okay, so watch this.

[ sings
"Pomp and circumstance" ]

Okay, and, everybody,
The graduate,

Lorelai leigh gilmore.

Ooh. Ooh.
Here you go.

And shake the hand.
Thank you.

And you are one of tomorrow's
Future leaders today.

I am so happy.

I am so glad to have graduated
Summa cum luke.

And then the thing.

Okay. Yay!

That's not
How I imagined it.

I'm sorry, guys.

I wish we could do the party.
I really do.

We just don't have time.
She's leaving in two days.

Two days?

I know.
It's really soon.

We just
Have a lot to do.

So this is goodbye?

No, I'm gonna come by tomorrow
And visit everybody.

I'm not ready for this
To be the real goodbye.

This is more like
A "See you later."

Yeah, I'll see you guys
Later.

Okay?
So see you later.

Bye, dollfaces.

Bye.
Luke: see ya.

[ sighs ]

No party.

Whoo!

Hey.

Hey, luke,
How's it going?

Good. It's going good.
How are you?

Good. Hey, I apologize
For the smell in here,

But I'm making
Bouillabaisse.

It's kind of
At the stinkiest part --

A lot of uncooked fish
And garlic.

It smells good to me.

You very kind.
You looking for lorelai?

'cause she's out and about,

And I don't know
When she's coming back.

Yeah, I know.
I saw her in town.

Oh. Yeah.
So, what's up?

Well, you know she cancelled
Rory's graduation party?

Yeah. I knew that kid wouldn't
Last a whole summer at home

Before landing
Some kind of amazing job,

But, god, it happened
So lightning fast.

I was thinking maybe
We should throw it anyway.

Oh, yeah?

It's a week sooner
Than we planned,

But there's no reason
We can't do it.

And I think we should make it
A surprise party.

Who doesn't love
A surprise?

I got all the hot dogs
And the hamburgers,

And the buns are on their way
Today anyway.

You know,
That's a very sweet idea.

Yeah, I think rory
Would really love it.

I think lorelai
Would love it.

Yeah, rory and lorelai.

Yeah, rory and lorelai.
I think we should do it!

Yeah, all right.
I'll start telling everybody.

What do you need from me?

Desserts.

Aha!
Well, I'm all over it.

Give jackson a call. He'll help
You with whatever you need.

Okay, thanks, sookie.
All right, bye.

[ door opens, closes ]

I think it would have made
More sense

To get a regular-sized
Shampoo bottle

Instead of 20 tiny ones.

You got to lug it
Off and on the bus.

How big
Do they make them?

The little bottles give you as
Much shampoo without the weight.

Perfect for travel --
Plus, they're cute.

Oh, I want to stop by
The post office.

I want to get
Tons of blank postcards.

You are gonna get
So many postcards.

You could just e-mail me.

But postcard-sending
Is a dying art form.

And it's nice to get mail.

Plus, we'll talk
All the time.

Yeah. What else
Do you need?

Um, a mini book light.

I had a mini book light,
But I lent it to paris.

And by "Lent,"
I mean she totally stole it.

I think we have
A mini book light

In the lost and found
At the inn.

It's been there
Like a month.

Maybe you should adopt it
And give it the love it needs.

All right. Check.

What else do we need?

Ooh, hey, I have a great idea.
Come here.

Remember last year
When miss patty hurt her back

During rehearsal
For spring fling?

She should have never
Demonstrated the jetés

For the little daffodils.

She had one of those
Back-support things

That you put
On top of chairs.

I bet she'd
Loan that to you.

Do I really want to be known as
"Back-support-thingy girl"?

Two-hour speech,
Metal folding chairs,

And now I'll take questions
For an hour.

Just call me
"Back-support-thingy girl."

That's weird.
She never locks this.

Miss patty?

Oh, hello, girls.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yes,
Everything is fine.

I'm...Consulting
With my muse.

Your muse?

Whenever I want a new dance
Routine, I come in here alone,

Lie down on the floor
In the dark,

And I let the muse
Inspire me.

Did you want something?

We'll come back
When you're not with your muse.

Okay, good.

Okay, well, so we'll...
See you later.

Odd.

Very odd.

[ footsteps ]

Okay, they're gone.

Good. Let's
Get this meeting going.

Once again, this is not
A "Meeting," per se.

We have already broken several
Robert's rules of order.

So don't tell robert.

Besides, isn't it worth
Breaking rules over?

It is rory, for god's sake.

Who's gonna do the food?

I got hot dogs and hamburgers
And a couple of big grills,

And sookie's got the rest
Covered, right?

She's at home
Baking right now.

You name the fruit,
It'll be in one of her pies.

Can she make
A sour-cream/peach pie?

I'll put it on the list.

I'd like a blackberry.

She makes a wicked blackberry
And cranberry.

What about cherry?
Cherry is a classic.

[ all talking at once ]

Please,
Could we stay focused?

People, this gathering
Is unofficial,

And I would like to have it
Over with as soon as possible.

Now, luke, I assume
You have obtained permits

To use two large grills with
Open flame on our town square?

Uh, no,
I don't have any permits.

I just started this whole thing
A couple hours ago.

Outdoor barbecuing sans permit
Is a violation of town codes.

As selectman,
I can't approve that.

If this meeting
Is unofficial,

Then whatever you say
Is unofficial,

So luke's barbecuing.

Lane: music.
There's got to be music.

Yeah, who's got
A good sound system?

I believe I can also
Be of some help in this area.

I'd gladly donate my time
And expertise as deejay.

Did a little deejay work
Back in college.

Went by the moniker
"Captain k."

He's really good
At scratching.

We've all seen that.
What about decorations?

I have a bunch of stuff left
From a school birthday party --

Mylar balloons, streamers.

There are not going to be
Any mylar balloons.

They are infamous for floating
Up and catching on power lines.

It could cause an outage
For the whole town.

The closest power lines
Are six miles out of town.

Nonetheless --

Nonetheless, lulu, why don't you
Bring those balloons

And whatever else
You got?

You people are violating
Town ordinances left and right.

This is highly irregular.

Dude, you're
Who's highly irregular.

[ all shouting ]

Excuse me?

I don't know
What your problem is,

But the town
Wants to throw this party,

And you're either
Gonna join us

Or you're gonna stay home
And comb your beard.

[ all shouting ]

Okay, all right,

We're gonna need chairs
And tables

And volunteers to set them up
Around the gazebo.

We're all gonna get started
In the square

Tonight after dark,
Okay?

[ all talking at once ]

This will remain
An unofficial party!

You need some alone time
With lane.

But it's cutting into
Our you-and-me time.

There's plenty of time.

36 hours is not
Plenty of time.

That's not true.

Imagine if you had
A 36-hour flight.

That would seem like
A long time, right?

Plus, I have to
Go to sookie and jackson's

To get you that fanny pack.

Really? You honestly think
I'm gonna wear a fanny pack?

All I know is,
It's on the list,

And if it's on the list,
I'm getting it for you.

You think
Tom brokaw's mother

Sent him off to his first
Campaign with no fanny pack?

When in my right mind
Would I --

Perhaps the senator
Might like a piece of gum,

And no one has any,
And then they say,

"What about that girl
With the lime-green fanny pack?"

I would be "Lime-green
Fanny pack girl."

And they bring you
Over to him,

And he says,
"Hello, what is your name?"

"My name's rory gilmore.
Here's your gum."

And like that,
You're gum buddies

With the future president
Of the united states!

When you put it that way --
Gum buddies.

Look, I'll meet you
Back at home, okay?

Take a nap, 'cause we're
Staying up really late.

I don't need a nap
To stay up really late.

Give my love
To lane and the boys.

I will. Bye.

Lane: billy fink.

Rory: you did not!
But dave rogalski.

Not technically
My first kiss.

How did I not know this?

I was too ashamed
To ever tell you.

How would you feel if your
First kiss was billy fink?

Just 'cause he didn't
Come out of the gates strong

Doesn't mean
He didn't turn into

A very handsome,
Dashing billionaire.

I ran into him a few years ago,

And he's living with his mom
And sells shoes in norwich.

Oh. Well, maybe he'll sell
Billions of shoes.

[ chuckles ]

How weird is this?

Yesterday we're sitting
On your porch

Playing jacks
And praying to grow boobs,

And now look at us.

I have a husband
And two babies in there,

And you're about to go off
And conquer the world,

Or at least
Write about it.

We've come a long way,
Baby.

I'll say.

Babe, can I talk to you a sec
In private?

Oh, well,
I'll be right back.

Sorry, rory.

No problem.

The kids okay?
Sound asleep.

I just got a call
From luke,

And they want to start setting
Up the square for tomorrow.

The honoree
Is sitting on our porch

Looking out
Onto the square,

And they can't set up
Until she goes home.

It's my last night
With my best friend.

Well, could you
Move it along,

Because it's getting late
And we were just trying --

Hey, I'm just
The messenger.

You're done when you're done.
I'll let them know.

[ door opens, closes ]

Sorry about that.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

In the past two minutes
Sitting here,

I've managed to completely
Freak myself out.

I haven't really had a chance
To stop and think about it,

But I just stopped
And thought,

And I am really nervous.

Totally
Understandable.

But I'm, like,
Panic-attack nervous.

Rory, you're gonna do
An amazing job, okay?

You always do.

See? I hate that.
What?

Everyone thinking
I'm gonna do an amazing job

All the time,
Like it's a given.

It's not a given.
What if I'm a terrible reporter?

Then you'll figure out
How to get better.

[ sighs ]

Rory, the reason
Why everybody knows

You're gonna do
An amazing job

Is because
Everybody knows you.

Yeah, you're
Gonna be nervous.

I was nervous
Before I had the babies.

I was throwing up
All the time.

You were pregnant.

True, but that was
30% pregnancy,

70% fear of being
The world's worst mom.

I don't know.

I just don't know
About picking up

And leaving
Until who knows when

And leaving my mom --

See?
I'm not ready.

What reporter freaks out
About leaving their mom?

The lucky kind.

It's embarrassing.

How is she holding up?

She's fine.
She's not freaked out at all.

She's making lists
And buying fanny packs.

She's not even
A little bit sentimental.

Your mom?

Yeah.
She's really fine.

I'm sure she's freaking out
On the inside.

I don't know.
Maybe.

Lane...

Yeah?

I just --

Your friendship
Means so much to me.

It's so...

Me, too.

I mean, I don't know what it's
Like to have a sister,

But I feel like I do,
You know?

Yeah.

Mrs. Van gerbig.

Ms. Gilmore.

Hey.

Oh, hey!

You're ironing?

The flatter the clothes, the
More will fit in your suitcase.

How was lane's?

It was sad,
Saying goodbye.

I'll bet.

Sookie wants you to come by
Tomorrow and say goodbye.

I made her a promise
That you would.

And I got that fanny pack
From jackson.

I think you're right --
You're never gonna wear it

Unless you want to be
Relentlessly teased.

But who knows?
Maybe you should take it.

Maybe they're teasing reporters
Who don't have fanny packs.

Mom.

Yeah?

I don't get it.
What?

How can you be
So okay with everything?

Ever since I've told you
That I'm leaving,

You're just all busy
With shopping and packing,

And you seem
Fine with it.

[ sighs ]
It's too soon.

What?

If I stop to think
About you leaving now,

I'm gonna fall apart.

We still have time left.

It's too soon.

Here.
I'll iron. You fold.

Hey, guys, only six chairs
To a table.

We can go eight if we grab more
From the high school.

The door's chained,
But I can slip through.

Six is fine.

Not everybody's gonna be
Sitting down at once.

We found
Enough tablecloths.

It turns out
That east side tillie

Had a stash
Down in her basement.

Woke her up
Out of a dead sleep.

She couldn't have been
More annoyed.

It was fantastic.

Thanks.

I got the turntable.
What's next?

Help kirk and lulu
With the lights.

Kirk, careful
Stringing those lights, okay?

One of those
Light bulbs blows,

And the whole thing's
Useless.

Luke, what do you think
About these?

The centerpieces --
Sookie's idea, my vegetables.

All right, great.
Thanks.

Babette: luke! Luke!

Yeah, babette, over here.

Oh, luke! My ankles!
Look at my ankles!

Should I ask why?

Bad news, doll --
It's gonna rain.

Oh, look at these ankles.

They haven't been this swollen
Since hurricane bob.

I checked
The weather channel,

And sure enough,
Nick walker confirmed it.

There's a storm front
Moving in over connecticut.

It's gonna rain tomorrow?

Nick walker --
You a nick walker fan?

No.

Oh, you should be.

He's just terrific --
Always dead on and so charming.

Of course, I've always had
A thing for meteorologists.

They're like astronauts
Crossed with fortune tellers.

Anyway,
He says it's definite.

Yeah, so I thought
You'd want to know.

Sorry for the bad news,
But you know my ankles.

No, that's true.
They're never wrong.

My hair's only 50-50,
But my ankles --

You could take them
To the bank.

We could have it
In the diner.

How you gonna fit
200 people in a diner?

In shifts.

We can break the party up
Into people's houses,

Like little
Party stations.

You gonna wake up the whole town
And arrange that?

It sounded dumb
While I was saying it.

You don't suppose anybody
Has any idea

Where we could get a big tent
At 1:00 in the morning?

[ sighs ]

It was
A nice idea, man.

Rory: why is no one
Picking up their phones?

I want to say goodbye
To everyone.

Lorelai: we'll track them
All down, I promise.

[ gasps ]
Rory, look.

[ cheering ]

I think you're gonna get to
Say goodbye to everybody.

[ cheering continues ]

Did you...

No, I didn't do a thing.

[ cheers and applause ]

Lane:
We love you, rory!

[ indistinct shouting ]

[ whistling ]

Whoo! Yeah!

We love you, rory!

We're so proud of you.

[ shouting continues ]

Wow.

Wow.

Rory, in my official capacity
As town sash presenter,

I would like to present you
With this sash,

Which I also happened to make

In my official capacity
As town sash maker.

Well, thank you.

Kneel before me.

All right, could you at least
Bow your head a little bit?

Wow.
That's quite a sash.

I got the material from
One of mother's nighties.

We wouldn't let you go without
A party, sweetheart!

All right, no shoving.
Let's make a line.

Everybody gets a chance
To hug rory.

I see mom and dad.
I'll be right back.

Hey.

This is quite a party.

I know.
It is, isn't it?

We had to cancel a lunch
With the stuttgarts

Because we only heard about it
From sookie last night.

Emily,
That hardly matters.

I didn't say it mattered.
I was merely relaying the fact.

Well, anyway,
I'm glad you're here.

We wouldn't miss it.

Of course we wouldn't.
We're her grandparents.

I can't believe
They did this for her.

I don't think
This is all for rory.

I think this party's
A testament to you, lorelai,

And the home
You've created here.

I regret that you --
Richard.

Now, let me finish,
Emily.

I regret it, and we've --

Recent experiences --

Oh, please don't become
One of those

"I had a heart attack, let me
Express my every thought" types.

Not every thought, dear,
Just this one.

It takes a r--

[ voice breaking ]
A remarkable person

To inspire all of this.

Thanks, dad.

Okay, that's enough.

It's not as though the two
Of you are saying goodbye.

May I have your attention,
Please?

I'd like to welcome you all
To this bon voyage party

In honor of one of
Stars hollow's

Favorite daughters,
Ms. Rory gilmore!

[ cheers and applause ]

Brava! Brava!

I've known rory,
As have most of you...

Have you given any thought
To my spa idea?

Oh, yeah. I don't think
I'm interested, though.

...Glorious spring day,

Pregnant with pride
And anticipation,

Preparing to birth you
From our collective womb,

Fully gestated
And nourished.

And so we breathe deep,

And, with these last,
Painful contractions,

We push you out
Into the world,

Spank your bottom,

And wipe the amniotic fluid
From your eyes

As you issue your first
Independent breath.

Is this speech making you
A little queasy?

A little bit.

Rory, would you like to say
A few words?

[ cheers and applause ]

Thank you, taylor,
For that very unique tribute.

Um...

I love this place.

I...I just loved
Growing up here,

And I love all of you.

And thank you so much
For doing all of this.

It's amazing.

I just -- it's so --

Oh, I'm on the verge of gushing,

So I'm just gonna
Stop myself here.

I don't want to gush,
Except one more thing --

To my mom,

Who is just everything to me

And everything I am

And who I'm gonna miss
So much.

[ chuckles ]

All right, let's
Get this party started.

[ kool & the gang's
"Celebration" plays ]

No bratwurst?

No bratwurst.

Just corn, then.

What can I get you?

Can't decide.

Luke, I'll have two hamburgers,
Medium rare.

Lorelai, we really
Should be going,

But I want to say goodbye
To rory.

I guess I'll eat later.

Now, listen,
Instead of a spa,

What about a tennis court?
People love tennis.

You could put a bubble
Over it.

Oh, god.

You could use it during
The summer and winter.

There's really no downside.

It's expensive, but your father
And I have discussed it,

And we are willing
To loan you the money.

Oh, mother.

Standard terms,
No interest.

Mom, why do you want to
Loan me money?

All it would require
Is the three of us sit down

And hash out the details.

We want to get together with you
From time to time

To see how things
Are progressing,

But we wouldn't become pests
About it.

Mom, why don't we
Just talk about it

Friday night at dinner?

Oh.

So our friday-night dinners
Are going to continue, then?

Well, we might as well.

I've kind of
Gotten used to it.

All right.

That sounds fine.

But don't be late
And don't wear jeans.

When have I ever worn jeans
To dinner?

Well, it could very well be rory
Who enforces the dress code.

I just don't think
That jeans are appropriate.

Fine, spandex and a tube top
It is.

Hey.

My dear.

Oh, thank you.

Now, listen,
You keep in touch,

And not just postcards --
Phone calls as well.

Of course.

It's an honor to be
Your grandmother, rory gilmore.

Well, thank you, I --

Thank you for everything.

Oh, dear.

I'll walk you guys
To your car.

* celebrate good times,
Come on *

Hey.
Hey!

It's beautiful,
Isn't it?

So beautiful. I can't believe
You pulled it off.

No, I just did all the baking.
This was all luke.

What?

He made me promise
Not to tell you,

But I don't care.

This is all luke.
He did all of it.

He's the one that came to me
And said, "Let's do the party,"

And then he planned the secret
Town meeting, everything.

Really?
Yeah.

Last night when we thought
It was gonna rain

And we'd have to
Cancel the party,

He went around and collected

Everybody's tarps
And tents and raincoats.

I don't know how he did it.

He must have stayed up all night
Doing this.

Can you believe that?

Yeah.

I'll be back.

Okay.

Hey, kirk.

I can't hear you!
My eardrum popped!

Lorelai,
If you see luke,

Tell him
That he and he alone

Is responsible
For all party cleanup.

Lorelai, you want to make
A morey sandwich?

Maybe later, babette.

* let me show you
What it's all about *

* reading and writing,
Arithmetic *

[ door closes ]

[ the mighty lemon drops'
"Inside out" plays ]

Hey.

Hey.

[ both sigh ]

Thank you.

Oh, it's...No big deal.

Luke.

I just...
Like to see you happy.

* you can't stop my heart
From turning *

* inside out

* try and stop my world
From turning *

* inside out

* you can't stop my heart
From turning *

* inside out

Okay,
You have these.

Oh, honey, let me help you
With that.

I got it.
Oh, no, I got it.

I know how to work
A zipper, mom.

That's it, huh?
Got everything?

I think so.

Oh, what about this?
That's for the plane.

Oh, how about these?

Those are old and broken.
I have new ones.

I just feel like
I need more time.

I know.

I really just feel ambushed,
You know?

I thought I had
So much more...Time.

I thought I had all summer
To impart my wisdom

About work and life
And your future,

And I feel like
I had something to tell you.

Oh, on the bus, make sure
You choose a good seat,

Because people
Are creatures of habit,

And the seat you pick
In the beginning

Could be your seat
For the rest of the year.

Get a window seat, honey,
'cause there's so much to see.

And you might want to sit
In the back,

Because people there tend to be
More chatty and friendly and --

I don't know what it is
About the front of the bus,

But people there just tend to be
A little more bossy and uptight.

It's just been that way
Since first grade.

And, honey,
I know what you're gonna say,

But just don't wear shorts,
No matter how hot it is.

It's not professional,

And all that heat and those
Sticky vinyl seats --

It'll be like ripping
A band-aid off your thigh

Every time you stand up.

Don't be too shy.

Don't be too forward,
But don't be too shy,

'cause you make
A lovely first impression,

But you really
Grow on people, too.

Mom.
You need ziplock bags.

You should have them
All the time.

And I'm gonna give you
That orange sweater.

I know you've wanted it, and I'm
Finally gonna give it to you.

Mom.

You've given me
Everything I need.

[ sighs ]

Okay.

Okay.

Shall we?

What's the rush?
It's, like, 5:00 a.M.

Got a stop to make.

Mmm.

The coffee smells good.

Hello, old friend.

How is it?

Your first pot is always
Your best.

Thanks for opening up
The place.

I got to take care
Of my best customers.

So, you guys know
What you want?

Oh, hmm, I have no idea.

Looks like
A delightful menu.

Oh, it does look delightful,
Charming.

Very charming,
Adorable fonts.

I wish
There were pictures.

You know, I'm gonna need
A minute.

I can't decide.

Take all the time you need.

But could we get some eggs
And bacon and hash browns

To tide us over?

And pancakes?

Hey, I like
Your necklace.

Oh, you do?

It suits you.
Thanks.

You got to be careful when
You drink coffee on the bus.

I can handle it.

I should have gotten you
A sippy cup.
I should get a flask.

They make flasks
For hot beverages?

They're called thermoses.

Right,
I'll get you a thermos

That says
"World's greatest reporter"

To match your cap.

Oh, yeah, I meant to tell you
That I left that cap at home.

What?

It wasn't
Very flattering.

How will people know you're
The world's greatest reporter?

I don't know.

I guess they'll just
Have to read your stuff.

I guess so.
