The hunter comes
Out of the tent, looks around,

And says, "Ah, very well then.
Now, where's that gorilla?"

You've heard dad's game-hunter-
And-the-gorilla joke.

You're officially
Part of the family.

It's not too late
To back out.

Yes, richard, I beg you --
Get some new material.

I actually like the joke,

And the family is
Not bad, either.

Thanks for
A great meal, emily.

Thank you, grandma.
You're quite welcome.

Did you really
Like the meal?

It was incredible, mom.

On our recent trip to mexico,

Your father and I were
Served quail mazatlán,

And I insisted that bridget
Find the recipe.

Well, she found it.

Tell that bridget that that
Quail mazatlán was a triumph.

It's the tequila-cactus sauce
That makes it special.

So special.
Really just great.

Well, young lady,
I'll see you around the campus.

Yes, you will.

Lorelai, it turns out
That I have

An emergency d.A.R.
Board meeting on tuesday,

So I won't be able
To get together

To finalize the seating chart
For the party.

No seating-chart get-together?
How will I live?

I'll help you
Get through it.

Christopher, are you sure
You can't stay for a cigar?

Cuban. Montecristo.

Perfect complement
To a tequila-cactus sauce.

Dad, we really have
To get going.

She's right, but maybe I could
Get a montecristo to go.

Oh, nice try.

I thought
I'd give it a shot.

I'll see
You, rory.

Bye, grandma.
Bye, mom.

See you in class,
Rory.
See you!

Oh, my god!

I thought for sure your mom
Saw me put mine in here.

How could so tiny a quail
Have such a big, awful taste?

I think the sauce burned
Through my napkin.

And now we just throw it
In the bushes?

We tried that before.
The chicken kiev.
The baklava, too.

The neighbor's cat
Dragged it to the patio.
So busted.

How do we get rid of it?

We take it with us
In the car.

Then we give it the old heave-ho
Over tyler's bridge.

Got to make sure we get every
Piece in the water, though.

One stray piece
Of quail mazatlán,

And grandma will have
The river dragged.

We need something
To weigh them down.

How attached are you
To that watch?

* 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

[ knocking on door ]

Morning!

Uhh.

Ow!
What was that for?

Thought maybe
I was dreaming.

Then you're supposed
To ask me to pinch you.

You're not supposed
To pinch me.

I'm confused. I haven't
Even had my coffee yet.

I have your coffee and muffins
Hot from the oven.

Well, actually, they're not
Really muffins.

They're muffin tops
Because the muffin tops

Are the only parts you like.

You baked me a whole basket
Of muffin tops?

Yep.

I have got
Apple-cinnamon-walnut,

Lemon-poppy seed,
Apple spice,

And double chocolate chip,

Which is really more cake
Than muffin.

But if calling them
A muffin

Means you can eat them
In the morning,

Then I am all for it.

So, which
Would you like?

Um, the cake one,
Please.

Ooh, good choice.

Ta-da.

Sookie?

Mm-hmm?

What are you doing here?
It's not even 7:00.

What?!

Why can't a girl get up
Superearly on her day off,

Make some muffin tops,
And bring a hot cup of coffee

Over to the best friend
And business partner

A girl could ever have?

I guess.

I mean, I had
To get up early anyway.

Jackson and I are going skiing.
We're so excited.

We haven't done that
Since before the kids.

Hmm. That's cool.

Yeah, jackson loves to ski,

And I love to dress up
In those cozy clothes,

The furry boots,

And curl up
With a sue grafton mystery.

I got "'r' is for 'ricochet'"
And "'s' is for 'silence.'"

If the ski conditions
Are good,

I can get a good eight hours
Of kinsey millhone in.

Yeah,
We were so excited.

"Were"?

Our, uh, babysitter
Called last night,

And she's got mono.

Ahh.

Yeah.
How is that, uh, muffin top?

It has the faintest
Aftertaste of bribe.

I know it's a lot of work
To take care of the kids,

And I know that
It's your day off, too,

But I would really, really
Appreciate it,

And I would really, really,
Really owe you big.

I'd love to take care
Of davey and martha.

Oh, did I happen to mention

That you're the best friend
And business partner

A girl could ever have?

I believe you
Led with that.

Oh, good, because you are.
Thank you.

No problem.
God, this coffee is good.

Well, yeah, it should be.

I got it from luke's.

Sorry. Is that weird?

Oh, no,
That's not weird.

Good.

I mean,
It shouldn't be weird.

No, it shouldn't
Be weird.

It would be weird

If I intentionally
Didn't drink the coffee.

That would be weird.
Yeah, that would be weird.

I mean, it's good coffee.

Yeah, and there's no reason
You shouldn't enjoy good coffee.

Exactly.
Good.

Yeah,
So it's not weird.

What did you do
With the muffin bottoms?

I made a muffin-bottom pie.

It's actually pretty good.
I'm thinking about patenting it.

Mmm, muffin-bottom pie --
Sounds dirty.

Mm-mmm!
There are baked goods in here.

At first I thought
I was dreaming.

Please don't pinch me.

When I realized I wasn't,
I thought,

"Somebody must've broke in here
And started baking."

Baking and entering -- a crime
Wave sweeping the nation.

Just not used
To that smell.
Well, enjoy.

Sookie brought us coffee

And freshly baked
Muffin tops.

Muffin tops?
They are the best part.

You got to be careful,
Though,

Because they induce
A sugar coma

Where it makes you say,
"Yes, yes, anything, yes."

I needed her
To babysit today.

You need anything
From me?

Nope.
Then we're good to go.

Actually, this is
Gonna work out well.

Ship the daughter unit
Off to her grandmother,

Get rid of the wife unit,
Leaving the husband unit free

To do some good,
Old-fashioned manual labor.

He's putting up
A flat-screen.

Oh, flat-screen what?

Come on.
Are you serious?

Tv.

Oh.
Yeah.

You'll see.
You're gonna love it.

Well, I should get going.

I have to get ready
For skiing.

Oh, hey, do you have
Any magazines

In case I get through
Both "R" and "S"?

Yeah,
On the hall table.

Okay, great. I'll get them
On the way out.

[ sighs ]

Thank you, lorelai.

I really, really
Appreciate it.

It's okay.

No, I mean, it takes
A special person

To, you know,
On her day off.

No problem.

Okay. Look what
You're making me do.

Okay. Bye.

Okay.
[ chuckles ]

Okay.
Bye.

Bye.
Bye, sookie.

[ laughing ]
What was that?

I don't know.

She's really excited
About her skiing/reading trip.

[ sighs ]

This is good coffee.

It is good.

It's from luke's.

Oh.

Is that okay?
Yeah.

Sookie brought it.
Are you sure?

Of course.
Why wouldn't it be?

Because.

It's fine.

Okay.

So, what do you do
With the muffin bottoms?

Oh, she turned them
Into a pie, you know?

She's like an indian. They use
All the parts of the buffalo.

I don't fully understand
That woman.

She bakes good stuff.

That I get.

Oh, my god,
The eagle has landed.

Yep, they delivered it
While you were in the shower.

Did they deliver it
Or throw it?

Comes with a lot of equipment.
Isn't it beautiful?

Yeah. And big.

All the better to watch
Reggie bush score touchdowns on.

I forget. Which one of the bush
Daughters is reggie?

You're gonna love it.

Hey, have you seen
The level?

The thing with the green bubble
That goes back and forth?
Yeah.

Yeah, paul anka and I
Were playing with it.

You were playing with it
With the dog?

I was trying to hypnotize him
With the bubble,

See if I could talk him
Out of the habit

Of chewing on the corner
Of the welcome mat,

Or I was gonna give him a wacky
Posthypnotic suggestion,

Like the doorbell rings,
And he spins around in circles.

Were you able
To hypnotize him?
No, chris, he's a dog.

All right. I think you've got
This under control.

I'm gonna go sit
On some babies.

When you get back,
We'll sprawl out on the couch

And watch
Flat-screen plasma tv,

And the world as you know it
Will never be the same.

You smell good.

Yeah?

Familiar.

Is that my conditioner?

Maybe. I don't know.

Are you using
My conditioner?

Sometimes. Why?
You don't like to share?

No, I'm married now.
I love to share.

So, why is it so funny?

You don't have
That much to condition.

I know that, but --

It's just been
Really unruly lately?

All right.
I got work to do here.

All right, listen, I love that
You're using my conditioner,

And I love that
You're putting up

This jumbotron thingy
All by yourself,

And I can't wait to watch
Flat sports with you,

And I love you --
Goodbye.

I will be here.

Hey, if you feel
Like shaving,

I've got a brand-new
Lady schick in the drawer.

Feel free to use it.

I might just do that.

Danes vs. Nardini?

Custody case.

Oh, yeah, right.
Uh, no, nardini is not here.

Nobody is here.

I mean, well,
Nobody from -- okay.

Luke.

Oh, hey, jim. Hey.

Been waiting long?
No, no, no, I got here early.

I wasn't sure where to park,
So I got here early.

Always a good idea.

Yeah, listen,
Uh, I meant to ask you --

Will I start
With a statement?

No, no, you won't start
With any statement.
Okay.

Actually, the less you say,
The better,

Which is good
Because the more you say,

The more they can,
Well, you know.

Will they make a decision
Right away? Do they tell us?

Listen, I got to make
A quick call. Give me a sec?

Oh, yeah, no.
Go. Go right ahead.

[ sighs ]

Oh, hey.

Hello, luke.

They're not --
We're not --

Oh, are we early?

Yeah, I guess,
Or they're behind.

[ sighs ]

Did you park
In the garage?

Hmm?

Yeah, do I get this thing
Stamped or what?

I don't know.
I didn't park in the garage.

Oh. Okay.

[ sighs ]

Man, this place, huh?

Yeah, what a waste
Of time.

Yeah.

Especially since there's
No reason for it.

Well, I mean...

But you have to finish
What you started, right?

What I started?

Yes, when you hired
A lawyer.

Well, I had to hire
A lawyer.

It was the only way
I could see my kid.

[ scoffs ]
I mean, come on.

You really think
You have a chance?

Yeah, well, that's
For a judge to decide.

Well, step back.
Take a look at it.

I mean, look at yourself.

You're...You --

A hermit
Living above a diner

In some old, converted
Hardware store.

It doesn't exactly paint
A picture of "Capable father."

It doesn't matter
Where I live,

And I have been nothing
But a good father to april.

And you're not
Gonna get any points

For your history
With women, either.

I don't know
What you're talking about.

Bailed on lorelai,
Got divorced in a heartbeat.

I did not bail on lorelai.

You have had no long-term
Relationships, luke.

Why would a judge trust you
To have one with april?

April -- huh! --
Knows --

Hi. Anna, all set?

Hello, barbara.

Jim.

Can we go in?

The judge
Is ready for you.

Perfect timing.

Hey, paris.

Just a second.
I'm in the middle of something.

Did you have a good --

No -- I have to set up
That goldman sachs interview

Before spring break.

My christmas was fine,
Thank you.

I assume yours was, too?

It was nice.
Good.

We've got the pleasantries
Out of the way. Can we move on?

I hope so.
I am emotionally spent.

What's all this?

This is the game plan

For what I call
Operation finish line.

Need more.
Okay.

We only have five months left
Before we leave

The warm and comforting bosom
Of this university

And face the bitterly cold
Shoulder of the real world.

"We"?
You and I.

You're the green marker.

Green was a random choice,
Not a subtle comment

About how inexperienced you are
With real-life matters.

Then again, maybe it was.

Hmm.

So I'm applying for
An oceanography fellowship?

And the application is due
By february 28.

But I know nothing
About oceanography.

I can't even tell you
Which direction the ocean is.

You apply,
You get the fellowship,

Then you decide
If you want it.

I already know
I don't want it.

It's a defensive move.
It's like monopoly.

Your little wheelbarrow
Lands on st. James place.

You think, "I don't want
St. James place,

"But I don't want
Some other schmo to get it,

So I'll stick
A plastic house there."

Am I getting
Through to you?

You're making me want
To play monopoly.

Look, come
The semester's end,

You're gonna thank me
For this chart.

We cannot graduate
Unprepared.

There is no way we're gonna have
Time to do all this stuff.

I'm not saying it's not
Gonna be time-consuming,

But there's two of us,
So we'll divide it all up

And report back
To each other.

I think we should have
Weekly report-back sessions.

How about friday afternoons
At 5:00?

There's something
To look forward to

At the end of the week.

Sookie: jackson!

One minute.

Jackson,
Get the door!

One minute!

That's okay.
I'm fine.

Get the door!

Getting it,
Getting it.

Sorry, lorelai.
That's okay.

I just put martha
Down for a nap,

And sookie
Is getting dressed.

Ohh!

She's picking out
An outfit now.

Thanks again
For doing this.

Sure.
So, where is davey?

I don't know.
I haven't seen him all day long.

I brought over
Something special for him,

But if he's not here,
I'll just take it back home.

No!

Oh, there you are.
Check out what's in my bag.

So, how's christopher?

He's putting up a ginormous
Flat-screen as we speak.

Cool. What's
The pixel aspect ratio?

It's got two remotes.
I'll ask him.

Good idea. Hey.

Hey. Do you like
This sweater on me?

Yeah, honey, it's great.

I don't like it.
I'm gonna change.

So, the four of us should
Go out sometime soon.

Sounds good.

I mean, I was gonna
Ask you two to join us

Next week in woodbury
For couples-bowling night,

But you don't really seem
Like the couples-bowling type.

Why? What's
The couples-bowling type?

I don't know,
Sort of boring married people.

But I am
A boring married person now.

Do you even like bowling?

Not when I was single,

But maybe now that
I'm boring and married,

It would be
Right up my alley.

You have to wear
The shoes.
Forget it.

How about this?
Ooh, that I really like.

That's nice,
The style and the color.

No, it's all wrong.
I'm gonna change.

Is she okay?

Sookie?
Um, yeah, she's fine.

So, buddy,
What did lorelai bring?

Her magic socks.

I could tell you
What they do,

But it's kind of private
Between me and davey.

Oh, yeah.

That's perfect --
Perfect, perfect, perfect.

Let's go.

Are you sure?
Absolutely.

Kinsey millhone
Is waiting for you.

You don't think
It's a little too --

No, I love that sweater.
Don't you, lorelai?

Yes, I love,
Love, love it.

Great. See?
Everything is great.

See you later, buddy.
Thanks again for doing this.

Come on. Let's go.
I can't leave them.

You can.
No, I can't.
They need me.

They're going to be fine.
Come on. Let's go.

Don't you want mommy
To play with you?

Wouldn't that be fun?

Let's go hit those slopes
And crack those books.

Thanks again, lorelai.

Okay. Bye.

All right. Come here.

Let's see your magic socks.
Let's see 'em.

Come here.
Where do you want to go?

The jungle.

The jungle?
You better start kicking.

Start kicking to get
To the jungle.

Kick! Kick!

You got to kick
To get there.

Don't apologize,
Connor.

That's precisely
Why I have office hours.

Oh, and I'm supposed
To tell you

That you can also query me
By e-mail,

Although to be honest,

I check it about as often
As I do the daily racing form.

[ laughs ]

Thanks.

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Miss gilmore,
I believe you're next.

The visiting lecturer
Will see you now.

Thank you.

Oh, I like your office.
It's cozy.

Hmm. That's one way
Of describing it.

So, have you come
As a loving granddaughter

Visiting your grandfather

Or as
An obsequious student

Trying to butter up
Her professor?

Well,
I'm not buttering up.

Oh, good.

Well, actually --

Oh, I thought
I smelled butter.

You know my,
Uh, roommate, paris?

Oh, I've met paris.

Well, and you don't have
To do this,

But she wanted me to ask you

If you might be able
To help her

To set up an informal
Get-together with dean kerrigan.

To what end?

I think she wants
Some kind of recommendation

For after graduation.

I see.

And I guess it wouldn't hurt
For me to meet him, as well.

But you don't have to.

I suppose I could speak
To dean kerrigan.

He's an affable gentleman.

He's probably not averse

To getting together
For wine and cheese

And meeting a pair of bright,
Soon-to-be graduates.

I'll look into it.

Really? Okay.
Thanks, grandpa.

So, I'm looking forward
To having you in class again.

Me too.

I think
You'll find this class

More stimulating
Than last semester's.

I'm expanding on some
Economic principles here,

Like pricing strategies under
Varying economic conditions

That can be
Actually useful to -- sorry.

I shouldn't bore you

Until you're sitting in
My class, getting credit for it.

No, I'm not bored.

I'm sorry, grandpa.
I just have a lot on my mind.

Is everything all right?

I just -- it's senior year,
You know, last semester.

There's charts
All over my apartment,

And I'm going through
Something with a friend.

Paris?
No, someone else.

I hurt her feelings,

And even after writing her
A very long letter of apology,

She hasn't gotten back to me,
And I just feel terrible.

I see.

Well, I doubt it's as bad
As you think it is.

I'm sure the girl
Will get back to you.

Maybe she's just
A very slow reader.

[ sighs ]

Oh, honey,
Anybody who knows you

Knows you would
Never do anything

To purposely hurt
Someone's feelings.

That's just it.

We don't know
Each other that well.

She's a new friend.
We don't have a history.

Hmm.

Well, I wouldn't worry
About it.

Rory, you're a person
Of great heart

And great character.

And that combination
Will always win the day.

I hope so.

So, can I interest you
In a syllabus?

Man: did you
Blow on the dice again?

Man #2: yeah.

This is my good friend
Al capone from brooklyn.

[ gasps ]

Jackson: I was just trying
To be helpful.

Sookie: cut it out.

Hi.
Wow, you're home early.

I'm sorry
It's such a mess.

Um, the magic socks
Took us back in time.

We were cavemen.

It was really bleak,
So we lived like this.

I would've cleaned up,
But when they woke up,

The magic socks were gonna take
Us to an orphanage in england

Where they had to tidy up

In exchange
For one teaspoon of gruel.

Sounds fun.
Don't worry about the mess.

So, how was
The skiing/reading?

Oh, uh, terrible.

Oh, come on.
You had fun all morning.

I could've had fun
All day.

We meet up for lunch.

He spills my hot toddy
All over the table,

And he won't let me
Order another one.

"Let you"?
Yeah, let me.

He said if I ordered another,
He'd do it again.

I just don't think drinking
Is appropriate at lunch.

It was one drink.

Sometimes
That's all it takes.

And he wouldn't
Let me ski.

You mean read?
No. Ski.

"'s' is for 'silent'" sucked,
So I thought,

"Why don't I strap on some skis
And try a little downhill?"

This one wouldn't let me.

Conditions were terrible.
It was really icy.

Well, apparently you make
All the rules, your highness.

Could I go check on my children?
Could I do that, huh?

No, that's fine.
Sounds good.

So, thanks a lot
For sitting.

We really appreciate it.

Jackson, seriously,
What's going on with you two?

Nothing much. You?

Jackson, why wouldn't you
Let her drink?

It's a bad precedent.
Or ski?

I didn't want her
To get hurt.

There's all these snowboarders
On the hill these days,

And they just come
Tearing down --

Jackson, what is going on
With you two?

Nothing.

You're acting strange.
No, I'm not.

So is sookie.
She's all weird and moody.

The last time she was like that,
She was pregnant.

What?
What?

What?
No.

No.
No?

Maybe?

Jackson, I thought you got
A vasectomy.

Oh, so she says,
"Go get a vasectomy,"

And I'm just supposed
To go get a vasectomy?

You shouldn't do it
If you didn't want to do it,

But if you didn't want to do it,
You should've told her.

I didn't see the point.
Now I see the point.

Jackson.

She said she was staying
On the pill.

She said it gave her skin
A healthy glow.

Yeah, she went off it
Last month.

You'd think that's
The kind of thing

A wife would tell
Her husband.

Not when she thinks
The husband had a vasectomy.

Jackson, you have to tell her
She's pregnant.

I was going to today

After we had a great time
And she was in a great mood,

But then she wanted
To ski and drink.

You wouldn't let her.
She's pregnant.

I know that
And you know that,

But don't you think sookie
Should be let in on the news?

All right, all right.

Good luck.

Yeah. Thanks.

[ sighs ]

Honey? Honey?

[ speaking indistinctly ]

Sookie: no!

You can't just order someone
To go get a vasectomy...

You know what? J-just be
Really quiet right now!

...Like it's a haircut.

Don't speak.
Don't breathe.

Don't even look at me.

I'm gonna go for a walk,
And while I'm gone,

You're gonna have that
Taken care of.

But --
No. No talking.

Just do it,
Or when I get home, I will.

Lorelai, let's go!

As we all know, your honor,
Custody cases must center

On what's in the best interest
Of the child.

And as we all know,

"Best interest"
Is a subjective term.

For mr. Danes to have
As much access to
April as he's seeking

Would certainly not be
In her best interest.

To deny the child
Access to her father

Would be
Psychologically damaging.

Why?

The child has
Only seen mr. Danes

Whenever he found time
In his schedule

To allow her to visit.

He made himself available
To her as often as she liked.

Truth be told,
During the past year,

April has spent
More cumulative hours

With the man who drives
Her school bus

Than with luke danes.

Why don't we ask my client
To allow the bus driver

Shared custody of the child?

Bit of a stretch there,
Miss campbell.

My point, your honor,

Is that april's connection
To mr. Danes

Is superficial at best.

To her, he's a man
Who works in a diner

Who only recently revealed
Himself to be her father.

Owns. I own the diner.

I don't just work there,
And april came to me.

Yeah,
Without my knowing it.

You had no intention
Of letting me know
I had a daughter.

Excuse me.

I suggest you let your attorneys
Speak for you.

It is why you pay them
All your hard-earned money.

I apologize, your honor.

Yeah. Sorry.

I just -- and he really --
Ohh! You know?

And he didn't,

And then I-I can't believe
That he -- ohh!

Ooh!

You know, 'cause
He didn't have -- he didn't,

And I can't believe
That he could've.

You know you can't walk off
A pregnancy, right?

I had just delivered his baby,
And then what?

I'm supposed to go
And hold my husband's hand

While he gets a vasectomy
To make sure he does?

No. It's too much.

I mean,
I-I-I'm not his mother.

I'm already a mother.

I don't have the time
To baby a grown man.

I know.

What am I supposed
To do --

Start watching him
Brush his teeth?

Does he want me to start
Cutting his meat?

I don't think he wants
His meat cut at all.

Well, how could he
Do this?

I guess he didn't really want
To have a vasectomy.

Well, then, tell me.
I agree.

Uhh!

I know. Uhh!

I didn't -- there was less
Than 4,000 left.

4,000?
Diapers, diapers.

For the last year and a half,

I've been changing
20 diapers a day,

And finally --
Finally I've got davey.

He's potty-trained.
It's good.

Martha has always gone through
A little more.

I mean, girls -- it's a boy-girl
Thing. I don't know.

Boys seem to be perfectly happy
Sitting in their own filth.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, and martha
Is 12 diapers a day.

And then if you add the --
But that's not the point.

The point is that there was a
Light at the end of the tunnel,

And now the light at the end
Of the tunnel is no more

Because you can't do that
With 23 diapers a day.

[ gasps ] 26.

If it's a girl,
That's 26 diapers a day.

You could use cloth diapers,
You know?

You wash them and --
That's not the point.

That's not the point.
That's a lot of diapers.

But, you know, babies are
More than diapers, right?

No, no.

Sookie.

No, all I remember is
Eat, sleep, poop.

Well, there's other stuff.

Yeah, like diaper rash and colic
And potty-training.

No, the good stuff.

Well, I'm having trouble
Remembering that.

For one thing,
They're pretty cute.

Well, but cute is not gonna help
Me sleep through the night.

They smell great --
That newborn smell.

I mean, you can't
Beat that, right?

The smell is pretty good.

How about, you know, when you
Give them their first bath?

I remember when I gave
Rory her first bath,

She looked up at me like,
"What the hell is going on?"

And I kept saying, "I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Davey loved his first one.

Martha screamed
Bloody murder.

Oh, my god,
All the screaming.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
But how about the first time

When they're crying
And crying, and you go
In to pick them up,

And then they stop crying
Because they recognize you?

That's pretty cool.
Yeah.

I'm not gonna sleep, though.

Well, you won't sleep,

But you'll get
Another first smile.

You know, davey had his
At three weeks.

It's really advanced.

How about when you're lying
Down, you're holding the baby,

And the baby falls asleep
On your chest?

They're all warm and cuddly.

Oh, god, I know
What you're doing.

You're trying
To make this sound good.

In the middle of the night,
When you're rocking the baby,

And everyone is asleep.

And then they fall asleep,
And you fall asleep.

I'm hormonal,
And you are playing dirty.

It's pretty good stuff,
Huh?

I guess.

Really good.

Are you talking memory,
Or are you thinking ahead?

Oh, uh, I don't know --
A little of both, I guess.

Really?

Well, the subject has come up.
It might come up again.

Oh, my god,
I'm gonna have another baby.

Yes, and I will be there
To help you,

No muffin tops required.

Thank you. I know.

Oh, god, I hope I have a girl.
Ooh! Or a boy.

Well, chances are pretty good
You'll have one or the other.

So, we seem to have a block of
Eight days here in late march

That is disturbingly free
Of résumé-building activity --

Might be a good time to commit
To some volunteer work.

I'm not crazy about wheeling
Around elderlies in bathrobes,

So I'm leaning towards
Tree planting.

Sounds good.

I'll check out some
Community-service sites online.

I found out the cutoff

For the lawrence way journalism
Fellowship application

Is march 1st,
So we have to get on that.

Have you written your sample
For the iowa poetry prize?

Yeah, I think that one's
A little farfetched.

I mean, I only took one poetry
Class -- sophomore year.

Hannah freeman is applying
For a fulbright

To study space travel
In luneberg, germany.

Do you think
She's ever traveled to space?

Besides, the writing sample
Is a poem --

Takes 20 minutes to write,
2 if it's haiku.

You could've told me you were
Going to be so resistant

To operation finish line
When we agreed to it.

I'm sorry.
When did we agree to it?

And this is not
About making charts.

It's about our careers.
It's about life.

I'm trying to help you here.

Did you talk
To your grandfather

About hooking me up
With dean kerrigan?

Hmm? Um, yeah, I did.
I did that.

And?

Um, he said
He'd look into it.

"Look into it"?
That's not going to cut it.

You have got to put the screws
To the guy.

I don't care
If he's your grandfather.

He's part of our game plan,
And he's got to play ball.

Why do you keep...
Is that lucy?

Yeah.

Have you heard
From her yet?
No.

Oh, so now she's decided
To just ignore you?

How very "Heathers" of her.

I don't think she saw me.

Paris, no.

Okay, look, it's time
To put an end

To this little junior-high game
You're playing.

Hey, paris.

Have you read
Rory's letter or not?

Um, yeah, I just --

Would you please tell her
You forgive her,

Because it's really messing
With her head?

Um, sorry, lucy,
I didn't --

Don't apologize.
I've got her on the ropes.

I just got back an hour ago,
So I just read your letter.

Yeah? And?

Well, it's not really fair,
I mean, you being a writer.

Yeah, yeah,
Life's not fair.

Can you let her off the hook,
For god's sakes?

In case you didn't know it,
Rory is a great person,

And she does not deserve
To be treated this way.

Anyone should feel lucky
To call her a friend.

I know I do, and you're throwing
Away one of the best.

Paris, please.

I appreciate
Where this is coming from,

But can we just have
A minute?

It was a really
Beautiful letter.

Thanks.

Look, I know
That marty put you

In a really crappy position.

Yeah, but I --
Well, he did.

Totally crappy.

But I could've said,

"No, marty, you're being
Stupid and immature."

Which he was so being.

But I just --
I handled it wrong.

I mean, can I say again
How much I screwed up?

No, you didn't screw up.

Marty asked you to do something
Really weird and wrong,

And you did it
'cause you're a great person.

Ask paris.

Well,
I don't know about --

I even tried to figure
Out what I would've
Done in your shoes,

And, I mean, I even tried
To act it out

With olivia playing
The role of marty.

Seriously?

I know, right?
Any chance to act.

But it didn't really work

Because as much
As I love olivia,

Her marty was
So over-the-top.

Are things okay
With you and marty?

Not so much.
We broke up.

Oh, no.

Oh, well, right?

I'm so, so sorry.

No, I mean,
It wasn't your fault.

It wasn't meant to be.

Listen, I got to go
To my first class.

Oh, yeah, okay.

But I'll call you, okay?

Okay. Yeah. See you.

Everything okay now?

Yep.
Good.

Did you ask her about actresses
She knows at yale drama?

Why have I even bothered
To do all this?

Perfect.

Yeah. There we go.

[ barks ]

What?

That's straight.

It's straight.

Fine, you want me to prove it?
I'll find a level and prove it.

Where's the level,
Paul anka?

The level!

Find the level, boy!

All right.
You've been absolutely no help.

All right, now, miss nardini,

What kind of provisions
Have you made

For your daughter
In new mexico -- house, schools?

I've already rented a house
In a nice area,

Checked out
The immediate neighborhood,

And there's a lot of kids there
That are april's age.

I have enrolled her
In a local school

That is
Very highly recommended,

Um, put her up for swim team.

Your honor, we don't contest
That miss nardini

Will make april's transition
To the new living situation

As seamless as possible.

We contest the part

Where she cuts the child off
From her father.

A father she barely knows,
Who does not have --

Let's face it -- the most
Sterling personal history.

Okay. Look.

I know what
You're talking about,

And, yeah, I've made
A few mistakes.

Luke, hang on.
It's true.

I was married before,
And it only lasted a few months,

But it ended amicably...
Pretty much.

Mr. Danes,
I need you to refrain --

I may live above a diner,

And some people may see me
As a hermit.

And I'm the first person
To admit

That all of my relationships
Haven't exactly been long-term.

Mr. Mcnally.

Yeah, you know,
But this is different.

We are talking
About my daughter,

Who I didn't
Even know I had

For the first 12 years
Of her life.

And now that I know her,
And I know I'm her dad,

I just want to be with her
And be her dad

'cause I know I will be
A good dad.

Mr. Danes, be quiet.

I'm sorry, your honor.
This won't happen again.

[ sighs ]

Mm-hmm.

Nope. [ sighs ]

Aha!

All right.

Now that I've had
The opportunity

To hear from both sides
In this case,

I'm going to read
Some personal references

Into the court record.

The first letter is written
On behalf of mr. Danes

By a miss lorelai gilmore.

This is dated january 9, 2007.

"To whom it may concern,

"In the nearly 10 years
That I have known luke danes,

"I have come to know him
As an honest and decent man.

"He's also one of the most kind
And caring persons

"I have ever met.

"I'm a single mother, and I
Raised my daughter by myself,

"But once luke danes became
My friend in this town,

"I never really felt alone.

"Luke and I have had our ups
And downs over the years,

"But through it all,

"His relationship
With my daughter, rory,

"Has never changed.

"He's always been there for her
No matter what.

"He was there to celebrate
Her birthdays.

"He was there cheering her on
At her high school graduation.

"Luke has been a sort of father
Figure in my daughter's life.

"With his own daughter, luke
Wasn't given the opportunity

"To be there
For her first 12 years,

"But he should be given
That opportunity now.

"Once luke danes is
In your life,

"He is in your life forever.

"I know from personal experience
What an amazing gift that is,

"And not to allow him access
To his daughter

"Would be to seriously
Deprive her

"Of all this man has to offer,
And he offers so much.

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, lorelai gilmore."

Hiya!

I want to see the tv.

[ gasps ]
Holy cripes, that's big!

Oh, my gosh.

Does that come
With a slushee machine

And a gangly teenage usher?

Honey,
The deal with sookie...

Chris?

I read your letter.

Honey,
It's not a letter.

It's just
A character reference

That luke asked me to write
For his court case.

Reads like a letter.

Oh, yeah?

Almost like
A love letter.

No, it's a favor that luke asked
'cause he needed --

You know what?

Before you go through
A whole list of excuses,

Let me just ask --

Is our marriage for you
Basically just marking time?

What?

Come on, lore.

Of course not.

Obviously you still have
Very deep feelings for the guy.

No, no, I just have known him
A long time, and he's...

Always been there,
Always will be there.

Luke needed
A character reference for court

To prove that he deserves
Partial custody of april,

And I know him
Really well.

Yes, you do.

And so it just made sense

That he would ask me to write
That character reference.

I can't believe I just had
Coffee from his place.

Coffee? Sweetie, I told you
Sookie brought that, okay?

Do you still talk to him?
I mean, do you see him?

This is crazy.

Hey, I got a right.

I have a right to know.

Occasionally I see him

Because we live
In the same town.

Yeah,
And I know you, lore.
And?

And I know that you're
Not done with him.

Okay, this is ridiculous.

This is -- hey, this is
A ridiculous conversation, okay?

I have a history with him, yes.
I was engaged to him, yes.

But I married you.

Tell me you're not
In love with him.

I'm not in love with him.

[ sighs ]
I should've known.

I mean,
All the signs were there.

What signs?

The fact that you didn't want
To leave stars hollow,

That you were dead set
Against redoing the wedding,

That you didn't want to have
A baby with me.

I mean, it's all
Because of him, right?

No. How can I tell --
It's over, okay?

What I had with him,
It's over, chris.

Then why did you hide
The letter from me?

I wasn't hiding it.

I put it in the drawer
In case they lost the typed copy

Or the judge spilled coffee
On it, the dog ate it.

I don't know why I didn't
Tell you about it.

I think that it's because
You're still in love with him.

No, I love you.
I love you.

You know what?
I-I'm sorry, lore.

I just --
I can't handle this.

Handle what?

This. You and him.

I just -- I can't handle
Being your second choice.

I thought I could,
But I can't, all right?

I can't be your rebound.

I'm sorry.

[ door opens ]

Christopher?

[ door closes ]

Chris?

Okay, I will check out

The poposaurus project
At the peabody,

But there is no way
I'm signing up for the lsats.

Sure you are.
Don't get lazy on me now.

The finish line
Is in sight.

I'm not being lazy, paris.

I'm not interested
In being a lawyer.

I'm interested
In journalism.

Just because you go to
Law school doesn't mean
You have to be a lawyer.

Look at dan abrams --
Because of his law degree,

He became the face
Of the scott peterson trial.

I don't want to be the face
Of the scott peterson trial,

And I hate dan abrams.

I will also not be
Taking the mcats.

Sanjay gupta, senior medical
Correspondent at cnn.

He's got
The market cornered.

[ cell phone rings ]
Well, good for sanjay.

Hello?

Oh, hey, lucy.

Now?

Um, yeah, yeah.

No, that sounds great.
I'll see you there.

Okay. Bye.

Grab your coats.
We're going tray sledding.

What?

We're gonna meet lucy
Over at the dining hall,

Sneak out a couple of trays,
And then go tray sledding.

We can cross it
Off the list.

But tray sledding isn't slated
To happen for weeks.

There might not be
As much snow in a couple weeks.

And lucy and olivia happen to be
Going today, so let's go.

Are you sure
You want me to come?

Paris.

Okay, okay.

Hey, uh, listen.

Thanks for saying those things
About me in the cafeteria.

Oh, well, I just didn't want
Your juvenile hysterics

To muck up the whole chart.

You two were
Behaving like children.

I thought I was gonna have
To put you on the naughty step.

Still, it's just nice
To hear sometimes.

You're not going to cry,
Are you?

No, I don't think so.
Good.

Are you ready? Let's go.
Oh, wait.

If you fall and break your face,
As many tray sledders do,

Don't worry about it
'cause you can spend
The night in the infirmary,

Which is another
Typical college experience.

Wait. What?

Come on.

[ sighs ]

[ cell phone rings ]

Hello?

Hey, I didn't wake you,
Did I?

Uh, no, hi.

No, I'm up.

I just had to tell you.
I won.

You won?

It's incredible.

I thought I was screwed.

I mean, her lawyer dug up

Every last bit of dirt
She could find on me.

Oh. Oh, yeah.
Luke, that's great.

Yeah, the judge waited
Until this morning

To give us her decision.

Oh, man, was that the longest
Night of my life.

But I just got off
With my lawyer.

I get shared custody.

Wow. Congratulations.

Yeah, I get to see april
At least one weekend a month,

Every other major holiday,
Half the summer.

We're gonna work it all out.
It's so great.

So great.

Yeah, I guess the judge

Just took everything
Into consideration

And realized how much I wanted
To be in april's life.

And, of course,
Your letter was a big help.

Well, I just wanted

To help you, help april.

Well, you did, and
I'm really grateful.

Anyway, uh,
Sorry to call so early.

Thanks again.

Congratulations.

[ sighs ]

Now, when it comes to papers,

I'm guessing that some of you,
Of course,

Will be asking me
For an extension.

You will be happy to learn

That I have no problem
With extensions.

Here's what you do.

You look at the due date
Of the paper,

And then you mark it
On your calendar

Two weeks prior
To that date.

And there you have it.

I've just granted you
A two-week extension.

By the way, my office hours
Are every tuesday morning,

And you're welcome to come to me
With any questions or problems,

Economic or non.

My expertise extends
Beyond keynesian theory,

And I will be happy
To lend an ear.

So, let's get started.

As you know, this course...

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

Processes and determinants...

Of overall economic p...

[ gasps softly ]

[ groans ]

O-- over...
