[ vacuum cleaner whirring ]

Lorelai: so, is this
More or less fun

Than watching the same tv show
At the same time?

I think it's more.

You know, if we died right now
And decomposed,

It would vacuum us up,
And no one would ever know.

Freaky.

* if you're out
On the road *

* feelin' lonely
And so cold *

* all you have to do
Is call my name *

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

* where you lead,
I will follow *

* anywhere that you tell me to

* if you need

* if you need

* you need me to be with you

* I will follow

* oh, oh, oh

* where you lead,
I will follow *

* any, anywhere
That you tell me to *

* if you need

* if you need

* you need me to be with you

* I will follow where you lead

* I'm walkin' on sunshine,
Whoa-oh *

* I'm walkin' on sunshine,
Whoa-oh *

* I'm walkin' on sunshine,
Whoa-oh *

* and don't it feel good?
Hey, all right *

Hey.
What?

Learn a new song
Or I'm tying you to a chair

And putting
"Hotel rwanda" on again.

It's love -- deal.

You're not gonna use that
As a microphone, are you?

Oh, no, reverend. This town
Banned dancing and singing.

I'm really happy.

Doyle, I assume?

He calls me his girlfriend
With no shaking.

I'm happy you're happy.
How are things
With logan?

You want to hand me
That hairbrush?

Look at us. We're happy.
We have boyfriends.

This is infinitely better
Than any mood stabilizer.

[ knock on door ]
What time is it?

Hammer time.

It's logan.
Hairbrushes down.

You got it.

Evening, ace.
Hi.

Nice. Very nice.

Hey, you want to see my room?
It's far away from here.

Super idea.

Hello.
Hello.

What are you
Thinking about?

Whether you've ever
Woken up

With paris standing over you
With a knife.

She's been
In a good mood.

Why's that?
She's in love.

With doyle?

Yes, with doyle.
And do not make fun.

When paris is happy,
The world is happy.

But when she's not happy,
The world is "Deadwood."

Got it. You hungry?

Yes, I'm starving.
Just let me get my sweater.

What do you think
Of this dress?

Does it look
Newspaper-y enough?

I'm trying to figure out
What to wear to the paper.

Ahh, the internship rears
Its ugly head again.

I want professional,
But not lois lane-y.

I don't want to look
Like a college kid.

You are a college kid.
Not on monday.

On monday,
I am a newspaperwoman,

And I have to look
Like a newspaperwoman.

Whatever you wear
Will be fine.
I'm so excited.

I can tell.

Last night, I couldn't sleep,
So I googled your father.

Excuse me?

12,053 items came up.

I could only pull up
A couple thousand,

But it really helped.

He was born in 1953,

Episcopalian, second
Of four children, oldest boy,

Yale undergrad,
Star of the track team,

No grad school --
Interesting.

Then he had a couple
Of lost years, a blank period --

A little jesus thing
Going on there.

Worked as a reporter
And editor

For two
Of the huntzberger papers

Before taking over
As ceo of the company.

When you look at
All of his accomplishments,

The man must never sleep.

Mm-hmm -- four hours
A night, just like clinton.

You don't have a secret room
With pictures, do you?

Logan, I'm going to be
Interning for him.

I need to know
Everything.

Is he an egghead?

He seems
Roll-up-the-sleeves-y,

But he's written
About everything

From foreign affairs,
Domestic policies.

He had a wine column.
I should learn more about wine.

Look, rory --
What are his politics?

He's unbelievably neutral
In his writing.

The man was short-listed
For the pulitzer

For covering the iranian hostage
Crisis when he was 25.

I heard about that.

25 -- how did he do that?

Especially considering
His lost years.

He's a born journalist.

What does he read?
What papers, what journals?

Come on,
Tell me something.

He hates peas.

Logan,
I need your help here.

My dad and I
Have two conversations --

"You're not living
To your potential,"

And, "Wait until you gain
That last bit of boat speed

Before you pull in
The jib's sheet."

You've learned more
In one day

Than I've learned
My whole life.

You're gonna be fine.

I thought we'd established
We're both starving.

Yes, we have.
Let's go.

Oh, wait.

Your dad covered haiti
In 1985.

Must learn more about haiti.
Got it.

Okay, let's go.

Have you ever
Discussed pinochet with him?

Peas, ace, peas.

Right, sorry.

As we move from the empiricists
To the rationalists,

Start thinking
About the difference

Between
The a posteriori truths

And the a priori truths
Of the rationalists,

Which exist
Independent of experience.

So, for wednesday, take a crack
At the first five chapters

Of spinoza's "Ethics" --

Those of you
Whose entire weekend

Won't be consumed
By books on wine and haiti.

Yes, my interests
Are teasingly diverse.

Whatever.

See you all
On wednesday.

[ cellphone ringing ]

Hello?

Thank god! Did you return
The blue sweater?

Oh, no.
Answer, please.

Two days ago.
Why?

Why? Two days ago,
You asked me to take it back.

Demanded me, in fact.

Suddenly, you're so freakin'
Reliable, you hop to it?

I've always been freakin'
Reliable. It's how I was raised.

So blame me.

I am not returning
The blue sweater again.

But I want it.
I need it.

I've already returned
The capri pants twice.

I've tried to return
Your other items

That were
All-sales-final,

Which makes me look
Retail-simple.

And this is
The second time

I will have returned
The blue sweater.

The capri pants --
Have you taken those back?

I can't show my face
In stores in new haven.

They think
I'm "Paper moon"-ing them.

She was very cute
In "Paper moon."

You're very cute, too.

Calling me cute is not going to
Persuade me. I have classes.

Monday afternoon,
That's your free time.

I remember some bragging
To that effect.

Oh, well,
Monday used to be free.

"Used to be"?
It's not anymore?

I guess we haven't talked
In a couple of days.

Um, I actually
Got an internship.

Really?

Kind of an important,
High-profile one.

Wow, that's great!

It's for a newspaper
Logan's dad acquired.

He offered me the spot
Himself.

Logan's dad.

It was out of the blue.

When did you hear?

A few days ago.
I forgot I hadn't told you.

I start on monday.

Wow, congratulations.

It's a pretty amazing
Opportunity.

Sounds like it.

Having lunch with the op-ed
Editors from the times,

Hanging
With peter jennings.

Dan rather will be
Valet-parking your car.

More likely I'll be pulling
Reports off the a.P. Machine.

Good. No worries
On the blue sweater front.

It's off my radar.

Really? You're
Not gonna make the effort?

I'll see if I can
Swing by on tuesday.

You're getting
An assistant, right?

I'm sure.
I'll see you friday night.

Bye, hon.
Bye.

Taylor?

Taylor: hello?
Is someone out there?

Where are you, taylor?

Over here. I can't move.

Oh, I have got to
Get a camera.

How the hell
Did you do this?

I was doing a little dusting
And toying with the idea

Of repositioning
The horse's hindquarters,

And the whole thing
Came down.

You can't
Leave anything alone.

Are you going to
Help me or not?

I feel like
I've been here for days.

You have not been here
For days.

Kirk came into the diner
Two hours ago.

You waited two hours
To come and get me?

I have a business.

I can't come running
Every time

A family of mannequins
Decides to attack you.

Ow!
Just lie still.

This is so humiliating.

Don't you think it's time?
Time for what?

You've been trapped
For two hours,

And no one
Has come in here.

What's your point, luke?

The museum's a bust.

Well, I'll admit --
Attendance is low.

No one is coming.

I was reading an article
About the power of bus-bench ads

For getting
The word out --

Very big
In the music industry.

Apparently the rapper
"Fitty cent" swears by them.

Come on.
Isn't it time to sell?

Let somebody who really
Wants this place have it.

Oh, I guess it is.

I had such dreams.

There'll be other dreams.

I guess.

You can resume your attempts
To get me out of here.

You're definitely ready
To sell the house?

Yes!

Then let's
Get you out of here.

Rory: tennis lessons --
That sounds great, grandma.

I've always liked tennis.

And I'm excited
By the prospect

Of some good,
Healthy exercise.

I'm excited by those
Fetching tennis costumes.

Not in front of rory.

I'm fairly worldly now,
Grandma.

She was a heck
Of a tennis player in her day.

Very competitive.

I wasn't
That competitive.

This woman was kicked off
The field hockey team

For elbowing ceacy evertz
In the neck.

She got in the way.

This happened in the parking lot
After the game.

Rory, tell us more
About this internship.

Well, all I really know

Is I'm going to be shadowing
Mitchum huntzberger,

Just to learn and observe,
Plus pitching in here and there.

You are going to learn
A hell of a lot.

It was sweet of logan
To arrange this.

Mitchum huntzberger
Offered it to me himself.

Really?

How about that?
He just called you up?

Your reputation for excellence
Preceded you?

He came by yale. I met him
When I had dinner at his house.

What dinner?

Um, just a dinner
That logan took me to.

At the huntzbergers' house?
Well, yes.

When, when?
About a week ago, I guess.

Good lord. We need to
Invite him right away.

Who?
Logan --
The ball's been dropped.

I'd put an invite in the mail
First thing tomorrow.

We should call him,
As well.

We could messenger
An invite tonight.

It's nice of you
To want to have him over.

But you don't need --

Rory, if you could
Mention it,

I'll get a note
To him tomorrow.

He'll need
A choice of dates.
I'll get my book.

I'll get mine, too.

Rory?

Mm --
Oh, call him now?

Right now, right now.

Oh, okay.

[ telephone rings ]

Hello?

You're getting a note
From the gilmores soon --

Maybe in the mail,
Maybe hand-delivered tonight.

For all I know,

A carrier pigeon
Is heading for your room.

Why is a pigeon
Heading here?

They want you over
For dinner.

Oh.

They're flipping out
About it.

She's sending an apology

For being so remiss
As to wait one whole week

Since I had to dinner
At your house

To extend an invitation.

I'm calling to warn you,
And I want you to know,

I didn't suggest
Us having dinner with them

Or encourage it
In any way.

I definitely did not
Refer to you as my b-word

Or imply it in any way.

I'm happy with the way
Things have been going,

And I don't want
Any pressure on us.

I'm sorry, and I think
I already said that.

And that's it.

What are the odds
Of getting out of this?
Zero.

Then let's do it.
It won't be so bad.

Well, you are
A true gentleman.

[ bang ]

My god.
What was that?

Carrier pigeon. Poor thing.
Should've opened the window.

Not funny.
Kind of funny.

Bye.
Bye.

Burger rare, cheddar cheese,
Barbecue sauce on the side.

Save rory some lemon pie.

Rory's coming?

Yeah, she's going
To see lane's band.

They have the coveted
3:00-in-the-morning slot.

Her genius plan is to come home,
Go to bed early,

Set the clock for 2:00,
Get up, and go rock.

Solid plan.

Yes, except that
When the clock goes off,

She will be asleep
And won't hear it.

I, however, will.

I will then get up,
Drag myself downstairs,

Re-creating a classic
Zucker brothers' moment,

And then shake her awake.

She'll throw on some jeans,
A t-shirt, no makeup,

And look like
A neutrogena ad.

I'll pass out
On the couch,

Too exhausted to make it
All the way upstairs.

And in the morning,
I will have bags under my eyes

That should have
"Tumi" stamped on them.

I love being a mom.

Awww.

Are the guys in town
Unusually lonely these days?

They're from the museum.

They're getting ready
To close it.

Close it? No, why?

You know
No one was going.

I was going!
You went once.

I was gonna go again
As soon as the nightmares

About the "I love jesus"
Mannequin subsided.

Well, you saw it once.

I guess.

Here's your sweater.

I hope you're happy, because
The saleswoman called me a name.

Where's my pie?

Luke, pie!

What do we think?

It's great.

Huh.
No.

I thought
It was light blue.
It was dark blue.

Did they have one
That was light blue?

You are officially banned from
Shopping in new haven again.

Thank god I have you
To do it for me.

Hey, luke. You're the only one
I like around here.

Right back at ya.

Okay, so, other than
Your stylist duties,

What else is going on?

I'm considering
Taking russian.

Very practical.
How's logan?

Fine. Grandma and grandpa
Invited him to dinner.

It was less of an invite
And more of a freak-out.

They heard about
The dinner I went to.

Heard how much?
The reader's dige version.

They've already exceeded
The reciprocal invite window.

If he doesn't come soon,

Grandma has to
Give back her pearls.

Wow.

So, um, when is
This dinner happening?

Three dates were proposed.
Logan's picking one of them.

Huh. Should be
An interesting evening.

Yep. I'll take notes
And pictures.

Cool.
Okay, you do that.

I want to go to dinner.

You said
I could meet logan properly,

And you know how good I am
When there's food involved.

12:30?

Is there a reason
I wasn't invited?

Can't we talk about this
Tomorrow?

It I tomorrow.

I don't think it's right
That they get first dibs on him.

I am your mom,
And we are very close.

I should
Get to know him first.

Grandma and grandpa
Already know him.

Okay, so they have
A head start. Fine.

But I bet they don't
"Know him" know him,

Like I will know him
If you let me go to dinner.

I didn't think
You'd want to come.

Why not?

It's at their house,
First of all.

And I don't know how you feel
About the logan situation.

Hey, this guy is in your life,
And I want to know him.

Don't you want me
To know him?

Of course
I want you to know him.

Okay, so...

I'd love for you
To come.

Great. Good.
You call grandma for me.

No way.

Why not?

You want to come to dinner,
You call grandma.

I'm not talking
To grandma.

You're gonna have to
If you come to dinner.

No, I won't.

I am there to talk to logan,
To get to know him.

Other than the fact

That he's blond, rich,
And straight, I'm out.

You're not gonna
Ignore grandma.

I won't. I just don't think
I'll get to her.

I've heard
Through the grapevine

That logan is so chatty,
There's no shutting him up.

Mom, forget it.

You're gonna have to
Call grandma and tell her.

I have to get up
In two hours,

So if you don't mind,
Beat it.

But --
Hey, sleeping.

Mom!

Sorry.

Can I help you?

I was just trying to figure out
If I'm in the right place.

Were you hoping to be in
Some sort of newspaper office?

Yes, I was.
I'm rory gilmore.

I'm an intern.

Mitchum -- um,
Mr. Huntzberger hired me --

For nothing, of course.

An intern makes nothing,
And they're happy to do it.

I'm new.
Here's a temporary I.D.

Sometime today,
Stop by and see al carson.

He'll take a picture
And get you a permanent one.

I've never had a picture I.D.
I'll take good care of it.

Is there a fine
If you lose it?

No fine.

I still won't lose it.
I promise.

You need to talk to harry.

[ telephone ringing ]

Good morning, eagle-gazette.
Please hold.

Good morning,
Eagle-gazette.

Where do I find harry?

I'm sorry. Mr. Wolowitz won't
Be in until this afternoon.

[ telephones ringing ]

Harry?

Harry?

Who called harry?

I did!
I called harry!

Hi! I'm rory gilmore.
I'm an intern.

I have I.D.

This is the newsroom --
Reporters, support staff.

Over there, we do paste-up.

It's called paste-up because
It used to be done with...
Scissors and paste.

Now we do it on a mac.

In that cabinet
Are back issues.

'95 to present are on cd-rom,
Earlier on microfiche.

If you use
The microfiche reader,

Make sure you turn it off --
The bulb is too hot.

I wish I had a pencil.

This is tom firth's desk.

He writes "Firth things first"
On the op-ed.

That's ed rose.
Circulation, advertising.

In case of fire,
Stairs are that way.

This is the kitchen --
Coffee, stale donuts.

If you finish a pot,
Make a new one.

Man: harry?
Be right back.

Huntzberger's here.
Oh, great!

Huntzberger's here.
Where?

I think
He's one of those guys there.

In the middle --
Striped tie.

You know huntzberger?
Yes.

What's he like?

Episcopalian, second
Of four children, oldest boy,

And, um, hates peas.

This is stan mercer,
Circulation,

Les cavanaugh,
City beat,

Stephanie fitzsimmons,
Photo editor.

And this is
Patel...Chandrasekhar.

He's our resident
Computer whiz.

Okay, lot of people,
Lot of names.

I promise
I'll learn some of them.

We'll talk more
At the general meeting,

But I want you to understand --
The huntzberger publishing group

Isn't going to change
What you do.

We're going to help you
Do what you do better.

I want
All the department heads

In the conference room
In 10 minutes.

Rory?

Yes, sir?
You ready to shadow me?

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Did you see
Where they went?

[ telephone speed-dialing ]

[ clears throat ]

Emily: hello?

Hello?

Who are you looking for?
Did you dial the wrong number?

It's very rude to dial someone
And just sit there

Without so much
As a grunt or a moan.

As far as
Perverted phone calls go,

This is a very poor one.

[ sighs ]
Mom, hello.

Lorelai?
Is rory okay?

Rory's fine.

Did somebody die?
Who died?

Nobody died.
Everyone is fine.

Then why are you calling?

Well, I was wondering...

Yes?

I just wanted to give you
A heads-up

That I was thinking I might come
To friday night dinner.

Mom, hello?

When?

Um, friday night.

This friday night?

Yes.

The night
Logan huntzberger's coming?

I guess, sure.

Well, that's quite
A coincidence, isn't it?

Logan's coming to dinner
The night you're suddenly free.

I guess so.

Do you really think
It's going to work this way?

What way?

That you just
Check the itinerary

And pick which friday dinners
You'll deign to come to.

I am not picking.
It just happened...

That you wait till we have
A guest like the pope

And then say,
"Now it's worth my while.

I get to meet the pope."

You're protestant.

You do not get
To cherry-pick

Which friday night dinners
You attend.

It does not work that way.
I wasn't cherry-picking.

If you come to this dinner,
You come to them all.

Well,
I'm not sure I'm free

Every friday night
From now through eternity.

If you come to this dinner,
Then you come to them all.

As I said before, I'm just
Not sure about my schedule.

I'll tell you what -- you go
Check that schedule of yours.

If you show up
Friday night --

The night logan huntzberger
Happens to be here --

I'll assume you've discovered
That your fridays,

At least for the foreseeable
Future, are free.

Goodbye.

It's these costs that had you
Dropping your correspondent.

How much are you paying
For syndicated features?

You run "Dear abby,"
"Ann landers," and "Ask vicki."

How many ways
Do people need to hear,

"Honey, he ain't gonna change.
Dump his ass"?

Charlie, I'd like to get
That physical plant tour in.

Charlie: let me call dan gerson
And see if they're ready.

If we're
In a holding pattern,

Why don't you start getting
Into those circulation issues.

Wow.

The ability to be able
To run a four-minute mile

Would come in handy
Right about now, huh?

Sorry?

A four-minute mile.

I don't follow.

At yale, track and field --
You ran a four-minute mile.

Oh. Right.

That's fast.
Four-minute mile -- whoosh!

Dan's gonna need
Another 10.

Why don't I take you
Into ron stone's.

We'll talk advertising.

Let's do it.

If you're looking for
Huntzberger, he went in there.

Oh, thanks.

[ telephone rings ]

Hello?

Help, help, help!

What's the matter, ace?

Nothing. I've just won
The "Spaz of the year" award.

It will be on the front page
Of the gazette tomorrow.

I'm sure
It's not that bad.

I don't know
What I'm supposed to do.

I don't know where anybody is.
I can't walk in these shoes.

I got a run in my pantyhose.
I ran into a file cabinet.

Slow down.

I didn't even know if I was
Supposed to go to lunch,

So I just stood in
The break room for 45 minutes.

Then I ate an altoid.

It's the first day.
It'll get better.

Your father must think
I'm an idiot.

I'm sure he doesn't.

I need help.

I need something to say other
Than, "The bleeding stopped."

Hey, that's pretty good.

Logan, please.

Give me something I can use
To connect with him.

I don't know.

You do know. This is important
To me. Please.

[ sighs ]

He likes jazz, but not
When it gets too experimental,

And he hates when they quote
"My favorite things."

What?
"My favorite things,"
From "The sound of music."

Okay. Good. Go on.

He lets people go
At 7:00,

But he keeps going
Till 8:30 or 9:00.

And he notices
The people who stay.

He hates double-talk,
But he's really good at it.

And he has
High blood pressure,

So he switches
To decaf after 4:00.

That's good.
That's almost something.

Don't worry, ace.
I'm sure you're doing fine.

I don't want your father
To be disappointed in me.

Rory...

In order for my dad
To be truly disappointed in you,

Your name
Would have to be logan.

I'm sure that's not true.
Uh-huh.

Thanks, logan.

Go get 'em, ace.

Oh, my god, this smells good.
What is this?

It's nothing -- just some
Soft-shell crab amandine

On a bed of wild rice.

There's no sentence
In the english language

That begins "It's nothing"
And contains "Amandine."

Happy.

[ cellphone ringing ]

Oh, god, your girlfriend
Is s-o-o-o important.

Hello?

Richard: lorelai?

Something very remarkable
Happened today.

I got a call from someone

Wanting to know if I was
Lorelai gilmore's father.

Outside the context
Of trouble at school,

That's the first time
Someone has ever asked me that.

And why did someone
Ask you that?

Well, one of our clients
Is the durham group.

You know them?
They own hotels?

They own boutique inns.

The ceo, mike armstrong, is good
Friends with twee silverman,

Who is the publisher
Of american travel.

It seems there's an article
Coming out about you and sookie

And your success
At the dragonfly.

According to twee,

It's the cover story
Of the may issue.

The article's coming out.

Dad, did your guy talk about
What's in the article?

I don't think
He'd read it.

Twee clued him in
Because she knows

He's always looking
For up-and-comers.

Apparently,
You are an up-and-comer.

I'm an up-and-comer.

Long story short,

Mike armstrong would like
To take a meeting with you.

Why?

He's in the inn business.

I assume he wants to offer you
Some sort of job.

I have a job. You can read
All about it in may.

He asked
If you traveled much.

He wants to know
Where I go on vacation?

He was referring
To business travel.

Perhaps the position
Involves travel.

Do you travel?
I wasn't sure.

The liquor store's further out
Than I'd like, but --

Lorelai.

Yeah, I travel sometimes.

I'll have my secretary fax
The contact information

To your home fax tonight.

You can call him
In the morning.

Dad, I don't have
A home fax.

I don't see how you do business
And not have a home fax.

We're all confounded
By that, yes.

Call my office
In the morning.

I'm, uh...Quite proud of you,
Lorelai.

Thanks, dad.

They're running
The article.

Good. I never liked
That you pulled it.

I pulled it
Only after I suggested

My mother might have been
Personally responsible

For global warming.

Are you worried things might
Get wor between you?

Good point.

What's all this stuff
About you traveling?

Some guy wants
To offer me a job,

And there's
Travel involved.

You ha a job.

But companies like this
Would buy the inn

And keep me on to manage
Or send me out as a consultant.

Buy the inn?
You just opened the inn.
I know.

You don't want
To sell the inn!
I know.

Who are these people,
Coming in with this stuff?

I don't know. Just some guy
Who wants to meet me.

Well, this is crazy. You don't
Want to meet with this guy.

It doesn't matter. I have no
Intention of meeting this guy.

I'm happy
With what I've got.
Good.

You know what?

You should...
Meet with this guy.

My daughter, my sister,
My daughter, my sister.

I'm serious --
Even if you're not interested,

It's good people are talking
About you and your business.

And just...
Take the meeting.

It's contact,
It's networking, right?

That's the right word --
"Networking"?

I think.

Well, you should network.

I'll think about it.

Good. Good.

Good.

Beatrice?
Yes, ma'am.

Do you know
What these are?

Lilies.

Would you like to eat with
Fragrant lilies in the room?

Yes.

Then you're insane!

I don't know how my guests
Are supposed to enjoy dinner

With this floral reek
Wafting up their noses.

Move them to the living room
And bring the peonies.

Yes, ma'am. Sorry, ma'am.

Everything looks lovely.

Does it?

Yes, and so do you.

What's on the dinner menu
Tonight?

Roast beef.

Oh. I hope logan's not
Some kind of vegetarian.

His grandfather owned
10,000 head of cattle.

I sincerely doubt it.

You know,
I've just been thinking.

The huntzbergers
Will all be transferring

To martha's vineyard soon.

Mid-june,
Every year like clockwork.

I'm sure logan's there
For some of that.

They have six acres there.
That's quite a spread.

They've held functions
There, too --

Graduation parties,
Weddings.

Maybe it's time for us.

Time for what?
Time to acquire
Our own acreage.

A compound
For the extended family.

A place on cape cod!
Our own kennebunkport!

Get it ready
For the next generation.

The cape's as good
As the vineyard for a wedding.

Some would say better.

Sandier beaches, too.

Children love
Sandy beaches,

Just love running
And playing on them.

[ doorbell rings ]

Oh, damn. I forgot
To fill the ice bucket.

Go get it.
I'll get the door.

Richard?

Picture his blond hair
And her blue eyes on a baby.

Incomparable!

Hi, mom.

Oh. Come in.

Thanks.

Beatrice,
Take my daughter's coat.

Thank you.

What are you
Doing here?

I don't know.
I just followed you.

Richard, come out
And sit with lorelai.

Richard: coming!

It's okay.
I can sit by myself.

You need me
To sit with lorelai?

I have been sitting
Without any help since I was 2h.

I don't mind.
Come along.

Please, sit.

A lot of pressure
To do it right now.

So, did you ring
Mike armstrong?

We have
A meeting tomorrow.

Good. Mike is very big
In that business.

You'll find him
A valuable --

Emily: richard?
I need help in here.

I'm sitting with lorelai.

Really, it's okay.

I promise not to stick my finger
In any sockets.

Well, all right.

Here I come!

You know, you're not obligated
To be polite

Until we're inside
My grandparents' house.

Then I'm gonna use
This brief moment

To make noises
With my armpits.

Oh, would you?

So, this is going to be
Quick and painless.

My grandparents like you

Better than they liked
Ronald reagan.

Wow, high praise.

What are those?

Hostess gifts --
Never a bad idea.

Well played, huntzberger.

What about your mom?
Is she gonna be cool?

She's the essence of cool.
"Cool" is her street name.

She's got it
Monogrammed on her towels.

If she's got it on her towels,
There's nothing to worry about.

[ doorbell rings ]
What'd you bring?

Cigars for richard,
Chocolates for emily,

And mrs. Eleanor shubic's
Silver lighter.

Huh?
What's that for?

Rory, logan, welcome!

Come in, come in!

Hi, grandma.
Hello.

And our guest of honor.

L'invité d'honneur.

How are you, richard?
Emily?

Wonderful now.
Yes, wonderful.

Look at you two.
You're just perfect.

Aren't they perfect?
Perfect.

We're not perfect.

Nonsense.
You're perfect.

She's right.
I've got split ends.

[ both laugh ]
And a sense of humor.

These are for you --
A small token of my gratitude.

Wunderschon chocolates.
I absolutely adore these.

I picked them up
Last time I was in switzerland.

Here's a little something
For you, sir.

Oh, romeo y julietas.

You are a good man,
Logan huntzberger.

Let's all go
In the living room, shall we?

I adore this jacket
You're wearing.

Isn't this a fine jacket,
Richard?

I like how the lapels
Are cut.

Aren't those nice lapels,
Rory?

Sure, grandpa,
His lapels look great.

Most tailors
Cut lapels too low.

It's so sloppy

Having one's lapels
Hang down around the chest

Like a basset hound's ears
Or something.

But those
Are excellent.

They really are.
Hi, mom.

Hey. How am I sitting?

Mom, you remember --

Logan, this is
Rory's mother -- lorelai.

Lorelai, this is
Logan huntzberger.

Yes, we've met.
Nice to see you again.

Nice to see you.

Come on, sit, sit, sit.
Let's get drink orders.

Logan,
What would you like?

Mckellan neat.

Oh, I adore a man
Who drinks his scotch neat.

Rory?

Just club soda.

So demure.
Isn't she demure?

The demurest.

One club soda.

Your usual, lorelai --
A sidecar?

Sidecar? No.
Isn't that your drink?

No, my drink is a martini.
It's always been a martini.

Really?

Pretty much every one
Of the 8,000 times

I've had a drink here,
It's been a martini.

I would have sworn
You were a sidecar girl.

Not even sure
What's in a sidecar, mom.

Richard, apparently,
Lorelai would like a martini.

Can do.

I just can't get over
Those lapels.

Grandma and grandpa are very
Taken with logan's lapels.

They look fine to me.

You'll have to
Excuse lorelai, logan.

It takes a certain eye to be
Aware of this kind of thing.

One scotch neat
And a club soda.

Thank you.
Thanks, grandpa.

And one martini.

That's with a twist,
Lorelai?

An olive.

In a vodka martini?

Not vodka, mom -- gin.

It's always been gin --
Gin martini.

Really?
Yes, always.

I don't remember that
At all.

Where do you live at yale?
Are you in rory's building?

No, I'm at berkeley.

Is that far?
No. About 90 kropogs.

Oh, kropogs!
Did someone say "Kropogs"?

[ laughing ] Kropogs.
Now, that is clever.

[ laughter ]

So, uh, fill me in here.
What's a kropog?

Years ago, someone at yale
Started measuring

Based on the height
Of a kid named kropog.

I can't believe today's elis
Are still using kropogs.

Now, that is
Really something.

Maxwell t. Kropog was his name,
Class of '44.

Oh. Lorelai, I'm sorry.
I forgot your drink.

I made it and everything.

Well, you remembered now.

No, richard, stay.
I'll get it.

I'm glad to hear
That "Kropog"

Is still part
Of the yale vernacular.

Tradition
Is so important.

Why don't we talk about
Something other than yale?

Nonsense. There's nothing better
To talk about.

Yale men
Are the greatest.

I dated a few princeton men
And a harvard man in my day,

And they had nothing
On yale men.

They'd better not.
Here you go, lorelai.

Mom,
There's an onion in here.

Is that not
What you wanted?

Olive. I said "Olive."

Well, I heard "Onion."
I said "Olive."

Let me get you
An olive.

Emily: the rackets
Have changed, too.

People must've thought
I was there to play badminton

When I showed up
With my old wooden thing.

The materials today
Make all the difference.

I told her
The same thing.

I know this guy --
One of the top manufacturers

Of ceramic rackets.

I could set you up.

Did you hear that?
Logan can set me up.

How about that.

Dinner is ready.

I'm going to
The kitchen

To check on
A thing or two.

Richard, will you
Carve the roast?

Certainly.

Is there gonna be alcohol
At dinner, mom?

I haven't been able
To get even a kropog of gin

Since that first drink.

A kropog is a unit
Of distance, not volume.

And there will be wine
With the meal.

There's always wine
With the meal.

Honestly, you're acting
As if you've never been here.

Sorry.
Just wasn't sure.

Roast -- sounds good.

It does.

Yeah.

Who doesn't like
A good roast?

What are you doing?

Life and death brigade
Business.

At a rich person's house,
I take a knickknack,

Then I leave the knickknack
I took from the last house.

I've been doing this
For years.

Trust me.
They never notice.

You're crazy.
It's fun to be crazy.

Grandma probably
Wants us here.

The salads will be out
In just a moment.

Everybody sit.

Wait a minute.

What's wrong, emily?

Well, I don't know.

Wait. My antique sewing box --
It's missing.

Well, that can't be.

It is - it's gone.
Was it here during drinks?

I can't say
That I noticed.

You, hovering there --
What do you know about this?

Beatrice: ma'am?
My antique sewing box,
Did you move it?

No.
And yet it's not here.

Do you have any explanation
As to why?

I'm sure
It's just a mix-up.

And...What's this?

What's this lighter?

Is this
From the pool house?

I don't recognize it,
But you never know.

One of the guys might have
Left it after a poker game.

Well, beatrice,
I don't know what to say.

I should go through
The whole house

And make sure nothing else
Has been misplaced.

Mom, I found it.

We have company,
And I don't want to be rude.

Let's just leave it
For later,

And you and I will have
A very serious discussion.

Mom, I found it!
What?

Yeah, here it is.

Really?
Where was it?

Behind the centerpiece.
I guess the flowers hid it.

Behind the centerpiece?

What are you
Smiling about?

I'm just glad
You found it.

Would you please bring out
The salad course?

Rory, logan,
I'm so sorry.

Well, never a dull moment,
As we say.

Emily:
Ah, here we are --

Avocado salad
With beet dressing.

Rory's the real star
At the yale daily news.

People hate her.
They hate you?

I'm not hated.
Am I hated?

She's had more pieces printed
Above the fold than anyone.

Well, you are both
Enormously talented,

If you have one-tenth
Of your father's ability,

You are going
Straight to the top.

A power couple --
That's what you are.

We were thrilled rory's gonna be
Working with your father.

I'm not really working with him.
Just near him.

She's knocking 'em dead.

If I can just get her
To relax...

Speaking of relaxation,
Does your family

Still have their place
On martha's vineyard?

I think they bought it
From martha.

They're not
Giving that up.

It's lovely
In the vineyard.

Richard and I
Attended a wedding there.

There could be no more
Gorgeous a spot for a wedding.

But then we went to one
On cape cod,

And it was wonderful, too.

Either place would be good
For a wedding. Don't you think?

Sure. I've been to weddings
At the cape.
You like cape cod?

Yes.
We like cape cod.

Great.
And I know
Rory would like cape cod.

I like what I've seen
In pictures.

You two would look
Awfully cute in cape cod.

Did you get a job at the
Cape cod chamber of commerce?

No.

There are a lot of kids
In your family, aren't there?

Yeah, the extended family's
Been pretty busy procreating.

They have, have they?

Do you like kids?
Sure.

Kids love cape cod.

I think internships
Are a communist plot.

Have you lost your mind?

No, still sloshing around
Up there.

Would you like
Another apple, rory?

No, thanks. They were
Really good, though.

How about you, logan?
Apple?

Thank you, but we should
Probably be going.

I have an early day
Tomorrow.

Oh, I'm so sorry
We kept you.
I wish I could stay.

An early day
Is an early day.

I had a wonderful time.
Thank you so much.

Thank you, grandma and grandpa.
It was great.

We had a wonderful time.

Bye, mom.
Bye, hon.

Good night,
Logan.

Nice to see you.

I hope
We can all --

Lorelai, don't keep them.
Logan has an early day.

I'm going to hold you
To your promise

About that tennis racket.

Logan: I'll call you
Or maybe shoot you an e-mail.

Shoot me an e-mail --
That is so clever.

Richard:
That's good business sense, too.

You have to utilize
The latest technology.

[ door opens ]

Now,
Would you look at that?

What a cunning little car.
I adore sports coups.

Fine parking job, too.

Rory: goodbye,
Grandma and grandpa.

Logan: thanks again.

Good night.
Drive safe.

[ door closes ]

More coffee, lorelai?

No, thank you.

What?

Nothing -- just on those
National geographic shows,

People are so sweaty
After a mating ritual,

But you two
Are powder-dry.

What are you
Talking about?

They're just kids, and they're
Still figuring things out,

And they don't need you two

Dropping all these
Heavy-handed hints

About weddings and babies
And cape cod.

You should be thrilled
By this match.
Who says I'm not?

You're not acting
Very thrilled.

I'm annoyed at you -- putting
All this pressure on them.

They are
In their early 20s.

You're letting your personal
Tastes cloud your judgment.

He's perfect for rory,
And you don't see it.

This is not about
My personal taste.

You're uncomfortable
Around people like logan.

He's not your type.
That's well-documented.

That was a nice,
Not-so-subtle dig at luke.

Luke?
Who said
Anything about luke?

You're very sensitive
Tonight.

You're busy marrying rory off
Into a family

That wasn't even
Nice to her.

Who wasn't nice?

The huntzbergers.

She went over there,
And they treated her like trash.

I highly doubt that.
Well, they did.

If the huntzbergers
Were so horrible to rory,

Why did mitchum give her
A very valuable internship?

He was buying her off.

So the internship
Was hush money?

Yes!

It's an unpaid position.

Rory got this internship
By making a contact,

Similar to me setting you up
With mike armstrong.

Is there something wrong
With that?

No.
I concur.

There is something wrong
With this internship.

My god, you're paranoid.

I am not! And logan
Did not have an early day!

What?

What 22-year-old has
An early day on a saturday?

Why are you so hell-bent
On derailing this match?

They're perfect
For each other.

Okay, that word "Perfect" --
He's not.

No one is, okay?
But especially him.

At your wedding, I caught him
And rory in the back room,

Uh...Kissing.

Kissing.

You have something
Against kissing?

I never thought of you
As a prude.
Paranoid, not a prude.

He stole your sewing box.

The sewing box is sitting
On the table in the living room.

No, he's just --

Are we done?
No!

Good. I have a call to make.
You might want that coffee.

Clear your head
Before you drive home.

Or maybe you just had
One too many sidecars.

[ elevator bell dings ]

Charlie: so, it's not
A diminishment of personnel?

No, that's the advantage
Of using pooled reporting

Through
The whole syndicate.

By sharing resources,
You're gonna have more options

You're gonna be less reliant
On wire services.

People will only read so many
Flatly written wire stories

Before they start reading
Something else --

Or, worse,
Turn on the tv.

Coffee?

Uh...
It's decaf.

Oh.

Well, thank you.

It's good.

All right, let's take a look
At that editorial budget.

Mitchum: what are you
Waiting for, gilmore --

An engraved invitation?

Good.
Very good.

I'd say it's a 9.
9-plus.

What would make it a 10?

Another half point.

Lemon juice
And a handful of parsley.

Manny, try it with a little
Lemon juice and parsley.

Okay.

How long are you gonna
Have them working here?

With that fancy-pants article
Coming out,

I want to make sure
The food stays top-notch.

Mike armstrong
Called again.

That's the second time
Since the meeting, isn't it?

Yeah, he's open
To any option --

Buying the inn
Or just investing.

We'd have money again.
Remember what it was like?

Keeping us on to run it.
We could consult.

We could travel
The world,

Telling people
How to run their inns.

We could be bossy.

We could travel
And be bossy!

He mentioned
The south of france.

They're making
A huge investment there

And need people like us.

I can picture us in france.
Ooh, topless!

At work?

No, the beach.
Much more appropriate.

And the casinos.
Oh, and the cheese!

My dad traveled
All over for work,

Which drove my mom crazy,
Which was a perk.

He'd say things like,

"I'll be back
From dusseldorf on friday."

I always wanted to say,

"I'll be back
From dusseldorf on friday."

Oh, that would be
Great --

To get into those famous
Kitchens I've read about.

We'd have expense accounts
And travel luggage.

It would be exciting, huh?
Yeah, it would!

But I can't do that.

I have davey
And little no-name here

And jackson.

Jackson wouldn't want
To go topless in france.

My life is here.

Yeah, sure.

But y could go.

What?
Your kid's in college.
You're young.

You love to travel.

You look amazing topless.

You could go.

What's stopping you?

Well --

Ooh! Snap peas!

Snap peas would be
Good in this.

Manny, snap peas!

Snap peas, yeah!
