Original subtitles

[ ella fitzgerald's "I can't get Started with you" ]

* I've flown around the world In a plane *

* I've settled revolutions In spain *

* the north pole I have charted *

* but can't get started With you *

Huh?

[ music stops ]

Sookie, you've got To be kidding.

You cannot walk down The aisle to that.

Why? It's depressing.

It's ella. It's morbid.

It's a classic song.

About a woman who can't make Her relationship work,

Whose life is filled with Emptiness and regret and pain.

Oh, who listens To the lyrics?

Anybody not hanging out With annie sullivan.

What are these?

Those are some alternatives But I like this one.

Alternative songs? Good. Let's see.

"Hey jude"?

Paul wrote it for julian To cheer him up.

"Seasons in the sun"? Oh, a sentimental favorite.

"Cat's in the cradle"? It makes you re-examine Your priorities.

"Don't cry out loud"?

Sookie, Do you even like jackson?

Okay, I have A wonderful suggestion.

Great. Let's hear it.

Okay, here we go. How about I leave?

And then do what? That's it.

I leave And I don't have to

Listen to this insanity anymore. What do you think?

Michel, I am in the wedding,

Which means you have To run the wedding

All by yourself, something You've never done before. Oh, please.

How about lane and I come up With a few more suggestions --

Still melodic, but not quite As "Girl, interrupted"?

Alright, fine. Great.

Michel, how is The rsvp list coming?

Well, I must say this has been Especially challenging for me.

When you are talking about a Wedding with up to 40 people,

All living within A 5-mile radius,

How can one person Keep track of all of that?

Just an answer will do. It got a little hairy For a moment.

I almost had to use A second sheet of paper.

I'm not gonna Let you annoy me

Out of making You handle this. Oh, we'll see.

Hey, my cousin carl canceled, So I have two empty seats.

Anyone else You want to invite?

I've got lane and dean. I'm good.

What about Emily and richard?

Emily and richard who? Your emily and richard.

Oh, sookie, You're way too sweet.

She went to all the trouble To help me plan

The first phase Of the wedding. The crazy phase.

It was still sweet, and If it wasn't for your mother,

I never would have settled On the color pink. Why is that?

Well, I wanted yellow, And she said, "No."

Well, with logic like that.

Come on, just ask her. I want you to.

Okay, I'll ask her. Good.

What are you doing?

It gets happier The second time you hear it.

* on a golf course... *

Huh, snappier, isn't it?

* and all the movie... *

* 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 *

You know What I just realized?

"Oy" is the funniest word In the entire world.

Huh. Think about it.

You never hear the word "Oy" And not smile. Impossible --

Funny, funny word.

Oh, dear, god.

"Poodle" is another Funny word.

Please drink your drink, Lorelai.

If you put "Oy" and "Poodle" Together in the same sentence,

You'd have a great new Catchphrase, you know?

Like, "Oy, with the poodles Already."

So from now on, when the perfect Circumstances arise,

We will use our favorite New catchphrase.

"Oy, with the poodles Already."

It's knocking "What you talkin' About, willis?"

Right out of first place.

Lorelai, for god's sake, Be quiet.

Dinner's ready, Mrs. Gilmore.

Bless you, inger.

Please go tell mr. Gilmore. He's in his den.

Shall we? Okay.

Oh, hey, mom, Sookie wanted to know

If you and dad would like To come to her wedding. Really?

Yeah, it's gonna be great -- Small, low-key, but fun.

She's catering it herself, So the food will be fantastic,

And you'd get to see me and rory Walk down the aisle

In two of the least obnoxious Bridesmaids dresses ever.

Well, that sounds very nice. When is it?

A week from sunday.

A week from sunday? Yes.

The wedding Is in one week? Yes.

So this is a pity invite. A what?

Someone canceled At the last minute,

And rather than being left With two empty seats,

Sookie asked you to ask us. How nice.

That's not what happened. No, that's quite alright.

Far be it for me To be invited

With the first batch Of actual wanted guests.

Mom, it's not a pity invite. She really wants you to come.

Is that so? Yes, that's so.

Where is our invitation?

What? Our invitation.

She must have at least given you An invitation to give us.

She thought it would be more Special coming directly from me.

So she was out of invitations. I never felt so special.

She wants you to come. There's No reason to be insulted.

I should be thrilled That I didn't get a call

As you were On your way there.

Don't turn this Into something it's not.

Do we get to choose between Chicken or fish

Or do we bring our own? Stop.

Perhaps she'd like us to Pick up some ice along the way,

Or help parking cars.

Mom, look, Isn't rory pretty?

Apologies all around.

I could not get adamson Off the phone.

We were just talking About how pretty rory is.

Give him the baby face.

Oh, rory gets lovelier Every day.

Thank you, grandpa.

Oh, richard. Oh, god.

Guess what lorelai Just told me. What?

We are invited To sookie's wedding.

Oh, how nice. When is it? A week from sunday.

Oh, so it's a pity invite.

Ha!

Oy, with the poodles already.

How are your pancakes? Good.

Good or really good? Good.

So not really good?

Fine -- really good.

Okay.

But are they great?

Rory, uh, would you perhaps Like to trade breakfasts?

You mean your pancakes For my eggs? Yep.

Um, okay.

Wow, you're crazy. These pancakes are great.

That's 12.

Two more And she'll come in. I don't know.

She's been walking There for 20 minutes,

And she still hasn't made it To the door.

But look how much closer To the building she's gotten.

Why don't we just bring her Something out?

No, she and luke have been In this fight for too long.

You're cruel. Tough love, baby.

Oops, I think she's coming in.

How can you tell?

She's got Shoe-sale face on.

Okay, I did it. I'm in. Good girl.

That wasn't so bad. It took A while, but not so bad.

Wait -- Why are you eating?

You took 30 minutes.

But I'm here now, And I'm like cheese.

What? She gets better with time.

Sorry, gouda, We got school. But --

Order breakfast, And I'll leave you the paper. See you tonight.

Dean, don't leave me. You'll be fine.

[ door opens ]

You'll be fine.

[ door closes ]

Hey. Hello.

Oh, good doughnut selection This morning, really.

Good variety, good color, Good goodness.

Well, so the choices Are there.

It all comes down to what I'm in the mood for --

Sprinkled or chocolate Or jelly or glazed,

Maple or kicky Or apple or raised.

[ laughs nervously ] A little doughnut rhyme there.

[ clears throat ]

Never mind. Can I have a chocolate And a sprinkled, please?

Okay.

So, this is how it's gonna be With us now, huh?

No idea What you're talking about.

You're pulling A "Mr. Freeze" on me. I'm not.

I'm gonna need snow chains Just to get out of here.

I assume you want coffee With your doughnuts?

I'm sorry, luke. It was a bad night.

I completely freaked out.

I said some things. Did you get my note?

I wrote you a note. I got your note.

Did you read my note? Read your note.

It was very well-written. That's it?

I also enjoyed The garfield stationary. That's one funny cat.

I said I was sorry. Yes, you did.

I said it a million times.

You said it four times, But I understand

You're embellishing For dramatic effect.

Stop. Stop what?

Stop this robot talk.

If you're mad, Just act like you're mad at me.

I'm not mad at you.

You're being really unfair. Rory was in the hospital.

What is it exactly That you want me to do?

I'm not mad. I'm not holding a grudge.

I heard your apology. I feel I'm being polite.

I listened to your doughnut bit. I got you your coffee.

What would make you happy?

I want luke back.

He's standing right here.

No, he's not.

Better drinking fountains, Updated lockers,

Clearly marked Boys and girls restrooms,

Nondairy and wheat-free Alternatives in the cafeteria,

A larger voice In the monetary dispersal

Of charitable funds Donated to our institution,

Because it is our institution, Yours and mine.

Remember, people -- If chilton soars, we soar.

If chilton fails, we fail.

It is up to us.

We must get involved. We must care.

It is not enough To sign a petition

To get a little debbie machine Installed

In the senior corridor.

Snack cakes will not change The world.

Cream filling will not decide Our legacy.

How will future generations Of chilton students

Remember the class of 2003?

John f. Kennedy once said,

"Ask not what your country can Do for you.

Ask what you can do For your country."

Those eloquent words Are just as relevant

Here in this hall today.

What can you -- The future of chilton,

Of america, Of the world --

What can you do For your school?

I will tell you What you can do.

You can vote for me, Paris geller,

For student body president.

And let me start tomorrow For you today.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank

Reese mckinley, schotzie leasen, And paris geller,

Your presidential candidates For next year.

Elections will be held This friday.

Good luck to all of you. This concludes today's assembly.

You are all dismissed.

Hey. Hey.

Did you get The "Little debbie" comment? Mm-hmm.

All of it? Every delicious morsel.

Good, good.

So, how do you think It went?

I think it went fine.

As in better than reese And schotzie?

Fine as in fine.

How are you skewing The article?

You'll have to wait and read About it like everyone else.

Write whatever you want. I will.

Just make sure you mention That schotzie pulling

The sharon stone "Basic instinct" bit

Was a cheap attempt To distract the student body

From my mandatory Recycling program.

Go away, randolph.

I got it! You do? Come on, tell me.

Okay, 150 students Were polled. A total cross section.

We talked to people that we Should never have even had To stand near.

The hairstyles alone Proved the farrelly brothers

Are not making this stuff up.

I'm sorry, have I ever been Mistaken for a patient person?

Right, sorry. So we added the votes up.

You added? She added.

Good, continue. When asked, "Which of the three candidates

Is the most qualified For the job of president?" 90 percent said, "You."

And when asked, "Who would be The most competent president?"

Overwhelmingly, the answer was, Once again, "You."

So I'm in. Not quite.

Most competent, Most qualified --

What else is there?

Well, we also polled Likability.

And? And while people think You're smart --

And competent. And competent.

They also find you, Well, a tad... Scary.

Someone thought a halloween mask Of you would sell big.

Well, fine. They don't like me.

Big deal, right? I'm still most competent.

Yes, but when asked if the Likability issue

Would affect Their voting choice,

Almost 100 percent said, "Yes." That's crazy.

You mean, people would rather Vote for a moronic twink

Over someone who can actually Do the job?

Sad, but true. Well, what do I do?

Hope for a sex scandal?

Louise?

Oh, I'm on it.

Hey. Tomorrow With everyone else.

So, I have been racking My brains for weeks

Trying to figure out exactly

Who should be My vice-presidential candidate.

Who'd be yin To my yang,

Joel to my ethan, Damon to my affleck?

And then, suddenly, It hits me --

The perfect person.

Who? You.

What? It's genius.

We could announce it In the franklin tomorrow,

"Geller and gilmore." We even have The "G" thing going.

Never underestimate the power Of alliteration.

I don't want to be Vice-president.

Every little girl wants To be vice-president.

Not this one. But you have to. Please, I'm begging you.

Paris -- They hate me, okay?

Who hates you? Everyone.

Everyone in the whole school Hates me.

They think I'm the best for the job,

But they don't vote for me, So I'm going to lose.

How is my running with you Gonna change anything?

Because people think You're nice.

You're quiet. You say, "Excuse me."

You look like little birds Help you get dressed. People don't fear you.

I haven't been dressed By a bird since I was two.

You'll soften my image. You're crazy.

Please? No.

I just want to write About politics.

You won't have to do Anything.

I'll do the work, make the Speeches.

You just have to be nice. No. Bye.

Harvard loves This kind of crap.

Being vice-president is just one More thing to put you ahead

Of the rest of the hundreds of Thousands of straight-a students

Who are applying For the same spot.

Think about it. You say, "No."

Then comes the day when the Letter from harvard arrives.

They've turned you down. Enjoy connecticut state, sucker.

Tell me You won't be thinking,

"What if I had just run With paris?

"What if the one thing That could have ensured my place

Behind those ivy-covered walls I just walked away from?"

[ sighs ]

Fine. Yes! Okay!

I guess the thought Of being nice to people

Never occurred to you, huh?

That's exactly What I need from you.

"Rebecca of sunnybrook farm" For the new millennium.

Wear some braids tomorrow With bows.

Hell, let's sell it, Sister.

So, how do you feel? Great.

Not at all sad?

About getting My arm back? No.

Really? 'cause I've kind of Gotten used to "Castie" here.

We decorated him. We talked to him.

We protected him from getting Wet in the shower.

It's time to wean you off Of getting attached To inanimate objects.

Castie, no one understands you Like I do.

What? No, I did not know Mr. Band-aid said that to you.

Uh, I will talk to him When we get home.

How are you doing? Dr. Tsu, thank god.

Rory, let's get this thing Off your arm.

What do you say? Not a word.

Christopher: this one here? Wait -- which one?

Hey, you in the white! Come on, point a finger.

Dad? Christopher?

Aha! There you are. Is it still on?

Oh, great. I didn't miss it.

Hey, doctor, I'm the dad.

Nice to meet you. I can't believe You're here.

I told you last week.

But I didn't think You'd drive

All the way From boston again.

You getting sick of me? Frankly, yes.

Everyone here now? I think so.

Then let's do it.

And if at all possible, We'd like to keep the arm.

Oh, I'll try my best.

So where to next? I have to get home.

I have to review My campaign platform. Campaign platform?

Yes, our little Hillary clinton here

Is running for student body Vice-president.

Wow. Elections are on friday,

But I'm very torn about Which way I want it to go.

I spent four hours Making picture buttons. You want to win.

Then I've to be Vice-president next year.

Plus, I'll have to spend My summer in washington

For some junior leadership Program,

Which means six weeks of me and Paris together in a dorm room.

How about this -- I'll come back on thursday

And take you guys to dinner,

And then we'll tamper With some votes. We can't.

Thursday is sookie's Rehearsal dinner.

I guess you just have To put your trust in the Democratic system.

But if you're gonna be Here on thursday,

You could come with us.

But it's sookie's Rehearsal dinner.

She'd love it. She's cooking for a thousand.

It'll be fun. I'm bringing dean.

If you can't do it, Then --

What time? 7:30.

I'm there.

That's great. I'll tell her.

[ glasses clinking ]

Oh, a toast! Everybody, a toast!

Ladies, gentlemen, Honored guests,

Who owns the silver volvo? 'cause you're blocking me in.

Well, it's better than The toast he made

At the abromowitz wedding.

How long Before I move the car?

Mmm, give it Another ten minutes.

Come on, I've got to go. My mom is waiting.

This isn't funny!

We need to talk. What's the matter?

The bedroom, please.

Honey, I'm melting chocolate here.

The chocolate can wait.

My father just took me aside And handed me this.

A skirt?

Oh, it's not a skirt. It's a kilt.

Why did he hand this To you?

He gave this to me To wear on my wedding day.

No. Oh, yes.

He wore it On his wedding day.

My grandfather Wore it on his wedding day.

Apparently there's A long-standing tradition

Where the men in my family Get very airy on the big day.

Well, if it means That much to him.

Are you crazy?! Well, he's your father.

You won't let me wear shorts In public,

You're gonna Let me get married in this?

What're you gonna do? I'm gonna wear pants.

If he doesn't like it, He doesn't have to come.

He has to. He's the best man.

Too bad! Jackson, come on!

Shorts are different! They cut you funny!

Okay, that's it. I need some air.

Grab the bottle.

Bossy -- I like it.

Wow. I hope the second act Is as good as the first one.

Oh, well, it's a wedding.

Things are supposed To be horrible.

When jackson came out Holding that kilt,

Man, I felt for him. I know. So did I.

Please, I saw What your face was doing.

What? What was my face doing?

Counting up How many "Brigadoon" references

You could come up with To torture him with later.

How dare you accuse My face of that.

My face is calling Gloria allred when we get home.

How many references? None.

How many?

12, including a few bars of "I'll go home with bonnie jean."

I'm betting you take plenty Of pictures at this wedding,

Because I've a feeling It's gonna be a classic.

Well, if you are gonna be In town for the day,

You should just Come with us -- thanks.

And see all the fireworks For yourself.

Okay.

Okay? Yeah.

Just like that, "Okay"?

Well, If sookie doesn't mind.

What's going on with you? What do you mean?

I mean, Mr. Suddenly I'm everywhere,

How come you can just Agree to come to the wedding?

Because I can.

Don't you have an appointment? It's on a sunday.

Don't you have to check With sherry?

Chris, what's up?

Nothing. Sherry's not in town.

Oh.

And even if she was, I don't think she'd mind.

Because she's the coolest chick In the world?

Because things aren't going Too well for us lately.

Oh...No.

She had this big business Trip planned.

And before she left, We had a talk. Yikes.

Yeah. We tried to come up With some answers,

But we couldn't think Of anything.

So...She left, and we said we'd Take this time apart to think.

And what have you been Thinking?

About finding an apartment.

[ sighs ] Wow. Um, that's so weird.

The last time I saw you two, you Were both nauseating, actually.

[ chuckles ]

We made ourselves sick A few times.

I don't know what to say.

No, there's nothing to say. It's nobody's fault.

It just isn't...It.

Are you okay? Yeah.

I'm okay.

Thanks.

Well, then it's decided.

You'll come with me To sookie's wedding,

And you make sure I stop one or Two brigadoonisms shy

Of jackson taking me out With a bagpipe.

It would be my pleasure.

Oh, my god. I'm so tired.

Hey, mom. Yes, angel?

Do you happen to know

Where the almonds I made For table five went? No.

'cause they were here last night Before sookie's dinner.

Really? How odd! Yeah. And this morning,

I found some on the staircase Leading towards your bedroom.

Ghosts?

It took me six hours To make those.

See if you can beat that Next time.

So you got home late From sookie's.

Yeah, I stayed to help her Clean up a little.

Hey, guess what? What?

I know something You don't know.

What?

Okay, it's really wrong To gossip, unless it's true

Or just way too good not to tell Everyone you see

Whether you know them Or not.

What is it? Well --

[ telephone rings ]

If that's my conscience calling, Tell it, "Enough already."

Hello.

How's this sound For a template?

"I have done my best. I have lost.

"Mr. Nixon has won.

"The democratic process Has worked its will.

"So now let's get on With the urgent task

Of uniting this country."

What is that?

Hubert humphrey's Concession speech.

Now other than the part About nixon,

Parts of it really seem To apply here. Paris --

I'm not going to steal it. I'll paraphrase. Paris --

Not that the person Who actually wins will even know Who hubert humphrey is,

But I bet they'll organize One boffo senior ditch day.

Where are you? In the auditorium.

I wanted to be here For one last meet and greet.

Get them right before They walk in the booth. Leave that place now.

People will think That you're insane,

And generally people are scared Of the insane.

See where I'm going here?

I'm going to lose.

You don't know that. Yes, I do.

Because even if I win, I only won because of you.

Therefore, Either way I lose.

Come on. Go get a cup of coffee.

Relax. You deserve this job.

I swear. Put away the concession speech.

[ sighs ]

Hubert humphrey must not have Been considered very fun either.

I'll see you at school.

God, she wants to win so badly, And me, not so badly.

I feel terrible. You know you wanna win,

So you can spend Your summer in washington, Far away from me.

Don't even talk About washington. Gives me a stomach ache.

It'd be wonderful. Then you and I Will go some day.

Oh, look at you. Trying To make mommy feel better.

Get back to the gossip, Please. Oh, yeah, okay.

So, guess who's in the process Of breaking up?

Fred and gin? Bite your tongue.

I don't know.

[ sighs ] Sherry and your dad.

No. Yes.

Dad told you that? Last night.

Wow. But they were so together.

I know. Well, now they're not.

Well, is he -- Look at you. What?

You're totally gloating.

[ gasps ] I'm not gloating.

Why are you smiling?

I am not smiling. I had a little stroke.

Smiling.

If he was all broken up about It, then I'd be sad.

But he's not, So alright.

Fourth rung of hell, Party of one.

Well, at least my feet Won't get cold.

Where did you get that?

What? That -- the jordan almond

That you pulled out Of your pajama top and ate --

Where did you get it?

Hmm, santa claus.

Alright, the piano movers Will be here at 8:00,

And the chairs will be set up At 9:00.

All the rooms Are made up and ready.

I'll be in at 10:00. Now I am going home,

Unless you'd like me To stay. Actually, I would. Thanks.

No, I'm sorry. I think I said that wrong.

I am going home now,

Unless you'd like me To stay.

I'd love you to stay. Thanks for offering.

Okay, once again, My english not so good.

One more time. I am going home now

After working six hours longer Than I usually work

And performing tasks I despise and I'm ashamed of.

And now I am going home To wash off the stench

Of this horrifying day.

That is, unless, for some Unknown, godforsaken reason

You need me to stay.

Well, actually -- Goodbye.

Hey, can I grab my bag?

I'm gonna go in the back And change. Thank you.

Hey, I went with the sugar Daffodils for the top tier.

And let me tell you, They look great.

I've outdone myself This time.

What are You still doing here?

I just want to double check Everything for tomorrow.

Don't worry. I'm done. Everything's fine.

I'm now going straight To bed.

Your last night As a single woman. Yep.

Look who's got martha stewart Locked in a basement.

Did you do all this?

Yeah, I did. How's it look?

It looks great.

Good. What are you doing up?

I couldn't sleep.

I sweet-talked the maid into Leaving me 10,000 pillow mints,

And then I proceeded To eat them all.

Serves you right.

[ sighs ] Oh, god. I'm so exhausted.

You need some help?

No, I'm almost done.

[ sighs ]

I got up and went back to work Just now, didn't I?

Yes, you did. Oh, good.

'cause this Is not the time to loaf.

I'm so happy for sookie.

It's like a real, Live love story,

And I saw it all happen.

I mean, I hired jackson.

I watched them meet.

I watched them have several Bizarrely intense arguments

Over mustard greens.

I watched them fall in love.

[ sighs ] I got to see it all.

It was a nice show.

Hi.

Hi.

What was that?

I have no idea.

Chris --

One more time, and maybe I'll Have an explanation.

No.

[ sighs ] This is not happening.

I hope to god you're wrong.

But it's us.

I mean, you and I, We...

...Have never been in the same Place at the same time.

But now...

[ sighs ]

...My head is spinning.

It's all the plants in here -- Too much oxygen.

What do we do now?

You know, I've got a room upstairs.

You are that sure You'd get lucky?

I never dreamed I'd get this lucky.

Oh, that's good.

So what do you say?

What are you doing?

Daffodils -- am I insane?

You can't have daffodils On your wedding cake.

Stop what you're doing Right now.

There's too much pink. No, there's Not too much pink.

Pink is for girls. Jackson's not a girl.

Jackson doesn't like pink, And I have all this pink.

It's like saying, "Hey, screw you!

You want a say in this? Well, grow some ovaries."

Honey, hey, Put the pastry bag down.

I can't. I have to fix this. Sookie, down.

Now step away From all things edible.

Hey, what happened? I don't know.

When I left you, You were fine.

I know. I went home, And then to bed, I was fine.

And then I had this dream Where suddenly my dress

Is really short in back.

So I bolt out of bed, And I put my dress on.

It looks okay. Then I panic. What if I'm remembering The dream wrong?

What if my dress Really isn't screwed up?

What if it's my veil? So I put it on.

Then I remember, I'm serving Salmon puffs. Salmon puffs.

Okay, completely wrong. So I had to rush over here

And try to find Another first course.

And these daffodils -- Just something snapped.

And that's when you walked In here.

Honey, you're nervous. It's natural.

I wasn't nervous Until tonight.

Well, that's okay.

I'm scared. I know.

I don't want To get divorced. I know.

I don't wanna fight All the time

And end up bitter. I know.

I don't want to be One of those women
