Oh, moonpies.

Rory: what?

It's a wonderful part
Of a road trip -- moonpies.

Mom, I want to go.
I can't.

I know. I know.
End of semester -- lots of work.

Not lots -- tons.
I'm sorry.

Yeah, yeah.

It's just --
What "It's just"?

Well, it's just a shame

To miss the wedding of a woman
Who meant so much to you.

Mom, I talked to mia.

I apologized profusely.

I told her it was impossible
For me to drop everything now

And go to north carolina.

No, right?
No.

She totally understood.

Well, of course,
She understood.

She understood when I was 17
And I arrived at the inn,

Holding a little, tiny baby
In my arms,

And rain was pouring down.

As long as you're not
Milking this.

And she understood when
You broke that teacup of hers,

The english rose pattern
When you were 4.

Okay, mom.

Yeah, I think that was
An antique, wasn't it?

But, oh, she understood.

Hello.
Statute of limitations.

You know why?

Because she is
An understanding, kind,

And loving woman
Who loves you.

That's cute.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I don't know if "Cute"
Is what I'm going for

On an interview
For a newspaper.

Worked for brenda starr.
Worked for lois lane.

So if I get a job as
A journalist in a comic strip,

This is the one.

Oh, do you remember when
We used to do road trips

When you were little,
And we'd play "I spy"?

And you'd say, "I spy
Something with four wheels."

And I'd be like,
"Is it a cow?"

'cause that's funny
And fun.

Mom.
Road trips are so fun.

They are,
But I don't feel like I can go,

Especially with logan
Freaking out on me.

He's running off to vegas,
Coming home drunk,

Giving me attitude,
Not calling his dad back.

Still?

Yes,
And while I'm mad at him,

I feel like
He's going through something

And I should be there
For him.

Oh, honey, I get it.
I really do.

You know,
I want to take back the "Cute."

That's really growing on me.
It's very you.

Really?

Yeah, it's very grown-up.

It reeks of gravitas.

It screams
New york times.

Well, I need it
To say more than that.

I'm hoping to hear from
The san francisco chronicle,

The seattle times,
The detroit free press.

Well, you can't ask
One suit to say so much.

Why don't you just get the suit
That says something local?

Mm-hmm.

'cause those other cities
Are so far away,

So expensive, so tiring.

I know.

You can get a good cup of coffee
In new york.

I don't know about those other
Cities. They have crappy coffee.

You mean like seattle?
Mm-hmm.

Oh!

Waffle ranch.

Missing the connection.

Gosh, I drove through
North carolina once,

And they have the most wonderful
Chain called "Waffle ranch."

Um, it's not so much
About the road-trip food.

Waffle ranch
Kicks ihop's butt.

How come you weren't so
Desperate to have me come along

When we got the invitation
Two months ago?

Because two months ago,

I knew you would play
The homework card,

So I planned to do this with
Your dad -- just him and me.

Oh, I'm sorry.

[ sighs ]

Are you sorry enough to make it
Up to me by going with me?

I really wish I could.

Oh.

Hey, that's a winner.
Really?

Yeah, I think you could
Stun them in any interview.

It is a stunning suit,
Isn't it?
It sure is.

They might like you so much
That they take your picture

And put it in the insert
For the macy's one day sale.

You really like it?
I really do.

But you shouldn't take my word
For it. You need a group.

There would be a great group
At mia's wedding.

Nice try.
Oh, god.

* 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

Hey, you're up.

The shower woke me.

Sorry.
I'm heading to the library.

I have a ton of reading
To catch up on.

So I thought I'd get
An early start.
Cool.

You doing some work?

No, just looking for something
On youtube.

[ chuckles ]
You got to see this.

Finn posted a video he shot
On his cell phone

When we were in vegas.

It's pretty outrageous.

You going in
To the office today?

I doubt it.
Colin and finn are coming over.

What are you guys
Gonna do?

Hang, probably.

You know, logan,
I think after the library,

I'm gonna catch a train
Back to new haven.

Good enough.

[ knock on door ]

Oh, hi.

Rory.

Um, logan's...

[ dial tone ]

So, it does work.

And I can assume you can get
Cell phone reception

Wherever the hell
You've been.

I was gonna call.
Uh-huh.

I was just waiting until
I figured out my next move.

Next move. I'm fascinated.
What is this next move?

And where were you
Figuring it out --

By the pool,
The slot machines?

You've been spying on me?

After what you pulled,
You can bet

I'm gonna be spying on you
For the rest of your life.

I need some time.
You know what you need?

You need to get dressed,
Get cleaned up,

And get your ass
Down to the office

So you can hear
What's been figured out for you!

I'm not just
Another one of your employees.

Damn right you're not.

If you were,
You'd be fired by now.

Steven barry and legal
Are gonna sit you down,

Try and sort out
The mess you made.

Can you be there
In an hour?

[ sighs ]

And there you have it,
Ladies and gentlemen.

Mitchum huntzberger,
Class-a jerk.

Can you believe him?

No.

I mean...

What?

He was a jerk.
He is a jerk.

But?

Uh, well, logan,

Far be it for me
To agree with your father,

But you have been
Kind of irresponsible.

Okay, you know what?
This is really weird.

What --
That I'm being honest?

No, that you're on his side.

I kind of expected
A little support here.

Logan, I love you,
But I'm not gonna support

Every stupid thing
That you do, okay?

If you go rob a bank,
What do you expect me to do?

Say, "Oh, that's okay, honey.
I support you"?

I screwed up.
I admit it.

What do you people want --
A pound of flesh?

What -- "You people"?

For me, it's not that your
Business deal got messed up.

It's what you've done
Since then.

What have I done?

Nothing --
That's exactly my point.

You've not been
Facing the problem.

You've been running from it.

I was going crazy, rory.
I had to blow off steam.

I'm trying to get
My bearings here.

I don't see you
Trying to get your bearings.

I see you hiding out,

And people are counting on you,
Your dad included.

And you're not facing
Your responsibilities.

You're --
You are being a jerk.

Well, maybe that's who I am.
Maybe I'm a jerk like my dad.

You ever think of that?
I'm starting to.

I highly recommend
The cream of wheat today, ma'am.

I don't know what it's
Spiked with, but it's insane.

We got a truckload of that
Cream of wheat back there,

So I'm pushing it
Like crazy.

You're one sly waiter,
Zach.

Not so fast. Got a little snafu
With my order.

I don't see a snafu.

And that is why lane
Is the pro at this job,

And you will always be
The amateur.

I don't have a problem
With that. What's wrong?

Grilled-cheese platter
Comes with fries and pickles.

Which I'm looking at.

Look a little closer,
My friend,

And you'll see
That the juice from the pickles

Has leached over
To the grilled cheese,

Rendering it sodden
And inedible.

Well --
I don't recall ordering
Grilled cheese au jus.

Pickles have juice, dude.
It's like a main law of nature.

Ah, but that's where lane

Knew how to prevent
This culinary catastrophe.

Prior to serving the dish,
She would use the french fries

To build a tiny dam -

Dude, I get it.

It's all going
To the same place

Inside that dark,
Strange body of yours, kirk.

Now eat it.

Lane's right.
You rock as a boss.

Yeah.
How's she doing?

She is about ready to burst.

Oh, yeah?

She's like a giant piñata,
Just waiting for some kid

To take a mallet to her stomach
And free the goodies inside.

I'm thinking a doctor
Might be a better way to go.

Oh, hey, I almost forgot.

Lane and I would like
To have you over for dinner.

Oh, yeah, that sounds great.
We should do that.

Great.
So, how's tomorrow, 8:30?

Tomorrow?
I don't know.

Here's the thing --

Lane asked me
To ask you about tomorrow

A long time ago,
And I kind of forgot,

So she'd be mad if you
Canceled last minute.

I'm not canceling --
I haven't accepted.

Let's not
Get into semantics.

It would be a bummer
If you bailed.

She's been cooking
For like two days.

Okay, yeah, tomorrow night --
That sounds fine.

Great!
And I hope you like curry,

'cause lane's
Gone curry crazy.

I'm not big on curry.

Oh, well,
Maybe you can pick around it.

It's the same program
As the one we used

For that corporate stuff
But a different application.

It's personal.
It's simple.

For you, maybe.
I couldn't figure it out.

And your father
Was absolutely no help.

Well, all we need to do is --
Mom, you're doing it again.

I'm looking
At the screen.

I know,
But you're, like, hovering.

I'm not hovering,
Lorelai.

"Hovering" means
You're elevated off the ground.

Do I look like
I'm elevating?

You seem awful tense, mom.

Of course I'm tense.

Having your father
Around the house all the time

Is extremely difficult.

He's just there, wandering
About, like a man of leisure.

Did he go through
Any of this stuff?

Did he at least sign
The 1040?
I don't know.

He has to sign some of this
Stuff before we can send it out.

He refuses
To deal with anything.

All he does is watch golf,
Pad around in his sweatsuit,

And annoy me with questions
About things he's misplaced.

He's getting to be a serious
Pain in the you-know-what.

The nose? The ear?

Would it give you that much
Pleasure to hear me say "Ass"?

I wasn't sure,
But, yes, it did.

Richard: emily!

Have you seen my --
Oh, hello, lorelai.

Hi, dad. Nice threads.
Having lunch with tony soprano?

Don't encourage him.

You like it?

I realized that,
Since I was housebound,

I might as well wear
Whatever I like.

These are so comfy.

Have either of you seen
My putter?

No, but we have seen
This 1040 tax form. Sign it.

Did your mother tell you
I've installed a putting green?

It's great fun.

You are not going out to putt.
You'll catch your death.

And, richard,
Would you please sign this form?

Just leave the form.
I'll sign it later.

What are you doing?
The putter's not down there.

No, but your tax form's here.
Come on, dad. Sign it.

[ sighs ] Fine, fine,
Fine, fine, fine, fine.

And, yes!

There it is.

Hallelujah,
We found the putter.

We have a few more things
We need to go over with you.

Later today, dear.

You always say that,
But you never do.

And wear a hat!

Yes, mother.

Ugh!

Well, mom, he was watching golf.
Now he's playing golf.

That's progress.

Hey, kid.
Rory: I'm in.

You're robbing a bank?

The road trip -- I'm going
With you to mia's wedding.

Wow, that's great!
Are you sure?

Yes,
I so need to get away.

I just had a huge fight
With logan.

Oh, sweetie, why?

He's being a jerk.
He won't deal with anything.

And mitchum just showed up
At the apartment.

Mitchum came?

I opened the door,
And there he was

In a really expensive coat
And all this cologne.

And he yelled at logan,
And logan yelled back.

And, yes, mitchum is jerk,

But I agreed with him,
And I told logan that.

You agreed with the boyfriend's
Dad? That's brave.

I couldn't help it, mom.
Logan is being immature.

And I can't focus on my work,
And I need to get out of here.

It sounds like a trip like this
Is just what you need.

A trip like what?
Nothing, mom.

Are you with grandma?

Yes, it's our
Thursday computer lesson.

And it's no
"Tuesdays with morrie."

Where are you going?

Mia halloway's wedding --
Charlotte, north carolina.

I have to be back by monday.

No problem.
This is gonna be a blast!
Charlotte.

Mia wanted me to do a toast,
And I thought I could do a poem,

Like you used to do for her
When you were a kid,

So you have to help me.

Kiki saltberry just came back
From a spa in charlotte.

It's the valentine resort,
I think she said,

And she came back
Looking radiant.

What is grandma saying?

We're staying at a best western.
No spa facilities there.

So, okay, I'll pick you up
At the crack of dawn.

We'll cram everything
In the jeep.

No bathroom breaks
Along the way, okay?

Does grandma want to come?
No. I mean, yes, but, no.

I'd have to rearrange my
Schedule, but that can be done.

Mom, you really can't leave dad
All alone.

Alone, yes,
Completely alone,

With two maids, a cook,
And a nurse who comes daily.

Yes, grandma should come, too.
It'll be a hoot.

It would be fun, honey,
But grandma's real busy.

Rory wants me to come?
Well...

Well,
She'll be graduating soon,

And I won't have
Many more opportunities

To spend time with her.

This is perfect.
I'm gonna start packing.

Oh, mom.

Oh,
And we'll take my car.

I have no intention of driving
800 miles in an army vehicle.

Rory: shotgun?

[ chuckles ]

Oh, mom,
If you're gonna go this slowly,

You should
Really put your hazards on.

Excuse me, but after I almost
Got that ridiculous dwi,

I can ill afford
A speeding ticket.

And a jaguar is an invitation
To be pulled over.

Right,
If you're speeding.

You're driving
Like you're in a parade.

Oh, hush.

Mom, seriously,
By the time we get there,

The wedding will be over.

The guests
Will have gone home.

North carolina will be
Under a sea of water

From melting ice caps.

"See ya."

Huh?

You could rhyme "Mia"
With "See ya."

Oh, that's good.
Or "Be ya."

Yeah.

You were such a peach,
Dear mia,

When rory grew up,
She wanted to be ya.

Good. But do you think
It owes too much to yeats?

Well, it needs some work,
But you try finding something

To rhyme with "Howard"
Besides "Coward."

Howard? She's marrying
A man named howard?

What's wrong
With howard?

It's just, for me,
It would be very difficult

If my husband
Was named howard.

Why?

It's just
Not a noble name.

I like noble male names,
Strong -- john, peter.

Richard.

Exactly.

Richard the lion-heart.

Well, I guess name nobility
Wasn't high on mia's list.

Howard the lion-heart.
[ laughs ]

What are you doing?

It's stuffy.

It's too cold
To have the window open.

Mom, just let me have it down --
Oh, my god.

Lorelai,
Stop playing with the window.

I'm not playing.
I just want it down.

And you're making it go --
Are you kidding me?

Plea-- mother, I'm putting it --
I'm putting it --

[ gasps ]

Wha-- uh -- mom!

It's called a child lock,
Appropriately enough.

[ sighs ]

So, rory, what do you have
Lined up postgraduation?

Oh, I'm setting up interviews
At different newspapers --

The seattle times,
The detroit free press,

San francisco chronicle.

Well, I'm not sure
About the seattle paper,

And the chronicle is dreadful,

But the detroit paper
Is quite reputable.

You know what else
A reputable paper is?

The new york times,
The boston globe,

The hartford courant.

Yes, and only a short drive away
From stars hollow.

Oh, well,
That never occurred to me,

But now that you mention it,
Yeah.

So, how does logan feel

About the possibility
Of your moving far away?

I'm not sure.
You're not sure?

No. Things with logan are...

Are what?

Uh, we're kind of
Going through something.

Aw, that's a shame.

Such a nice young man.

He was so thoughtful
When your grandfather
Was in the hospital.

Yeah.

Oh, hey, the skirf.

Oh, the skirf.

What's a skirf?

Well, when rory
Was really little,

My first sewing project
Was trying to make her a skirt.

It was terrible.

But mia made me feel better
By putting it on rory's head

And saying I created
Something new, called a skirf.

Yeah.

So,
Do we all like show tunes?

I found this marvelous cd when
I took the car to be washed.

* all the cattle
Are standing like statues *

And I was put on bed rest

So the babies wouldn't come out
Before my due date.

And I look at the calendar,

And I say to zach,
"Zach, it's my due date."

And I'm like, "So?"

And I say, "So now I want them
To come out."

And I go,
"Duh, let's get out of bed."

[ laughter ]

They can come out
Whenever they want,

As long as we've
Finished our meal...

[ laughter ]

...Which, by the way,
Was terrific, lane.

Thanks.

Yeah, she had no problem
Switching to a different meal

When I told her
About your curry issues.

Well, it's -- I just --
It's not really an issue.

Again, look,
Sorry about the wine.

I totally spaced.

I should have brought you
Something sparkling,

A fruity kind of a thing.

No, it's okay.

Besides, they say
One of the things you can do

To help induce labor
Is have a glass of wine.

That or sex.

Well, I can only help you
With the wine.

[ laughter ]

I should get going.
I got to get up early
And open the diner.

Are you sure you don't want
Dessert? Homemade peach pie.

You made a peach pie?

Well, actually,
You made it at the diner,

Which is technically your home,
But I paid for it.

I'll have one quick piece.
Yes!

This is really nice
Of you guys.

What do you expect, man?

You mean a lot
To lane and me.
You do.

We feel really close to you,

And not just,
You know, employees.

Yeah, uh, me too.

When it comes
To extended family,

Zach and I don't have much.

I've got my mom, but she's not
So much a family member

As she is
A probation officer.

And my old man ran off
When I was like 10 -- no note.

So I got the feeling
He didn't want me to follow him.

Mm-hmm.

So, you guys need money
Or something?

Lane and I would like you
To be godfather to our twins.

Oh, really?
Godfather?

We just want to make sure

We have a strong parental person
For our boys.

Well...

There's no paperwork
Involved.
Right. I just --

No notary public.

No, I know.
It's just [sighs]

Yeah, okay, sure.

[ squeals ]
Oh, man.

That is so great.

Up high.

Come on.

All right. Okay.

There you go.

No, are you listening?

I've already booked
A swedish massage for 1:00.

I want to know
What I can do at 2:30.

Good lord, no.
A watsu?

Why would I want
To re-experience my own birth?

I'll be back
To take your orders.

Big menus.
Yeah,
That's a good sign.

I love when they show pictures
Of the food.

I would be upset if I was
That fried chicken, though.

That picture
Makes her look fat.

Fine.
Book me a salt scrub at 2:30.

Thank you.

Where on earth are we?

Well, mom,

Since you wouldn't let us
Take you to a drive-through,

We've come here to winky's,
A fine eatery just off I-85.

Very down home.

We ready here?

Oh, uh, uh,
I'm only halfway through.

Don't tell me
How it turns out.

I smell cigarette smoke.

This is one of those places
That still allows cigarettes.

Mom, if you'd prefer
To wait in the car,

We can bring food
To you there.

Well, the reason why I refused
To go to the drive-through

Is because I won't allow eating
In my car.

Hey, they have lobster.

Lobster for $12.95.
How could you go wrong?

I'll have the lobster.

See, you'll have lobster.
I'll have shrimp.

We'll make it
A seafood night.

Seafood in a place like this --
Very risky.

And a hot dog.
A hot dog for the table.

You'll go in on that with us,
Won't you, mom?

Turkey sandwich on wheat
And a glass of chardonnay.

That's the clear one.

My name is charlene.

Holler
If you need something.

Wow, huge case of cakes
Behind you there.

Ooh, yeah.

Winky's got a trophy case
Full of cakes.

Hey, I bet mia makes

Her triple-layered german
Chocolate cake, don't you think?

Probably.

Mmm. Aromatherapy --
That's what I want.

Are you sure you two won't join
Me for something at the spa --

Facial, moroccan mud wrap?

My treat.

Mother, we came here
To go to a wedding,

So that's
What we're gonna do.

Suit yourself.

I need to use the facilities.

Wish me luck.

I love it here.

And I'm totally
Gonna score a panda

In that crane machine
On the way out.

Do you think we should
Dial back the talk about mia

In front of grandma?

I don't think she's thrilled

To hear about our surrogate
Mother/grandmother.

She knew that mia
Is the reason for the trip.

I think it's okay
If we talk about her.

I know,
But it seems to bother her.

And I thought, during this trip,
We could do more

Mother/daughter,
Daughter/daughter bonding.

10 hours in the car
Not enough bonding for you?

I'm just worried
About you guys.

What's gonna happen
After I graduate?

After you graduate? That's
When the party gets started.

Yeah, I just --
I want you guys to remain close.

Close?
Ish.

Honey, your grandma and I

Have a very complicated
Relationship,

But we'll be fine.

I don't want you to worry.
You go do your own thing.

I'm a grown-up.

A grown-up who wears a bib.
Thank you.

All righty.

Looks like our choices are
"Hitch" or "The lake house."

I could use a laugh.
"The lake house" it is.

Oh, my dress got wrinkled.

Honey, just put it
In the shower with the steam

If mom ever finishes
Shellacking her face.

Emily:
I heard that, lorelai.
I'm simply washing up.

Mom,
The resort is 20 minutes away.

Why do you
Have to wash up here?

I can't very well arrive
At a luxurious resort

Smelling of bad shellfish

And covered with the grime
Of the road.

"The road."
Who are you -- willie nelson?

[ telephone rings ]

Hello. [ gasps ]

Mia,
How is the blushing bride-to-be?

Surprisingly calm, but I've had
Two glasses of wine,

So we'll see tomorrow
When the buzz wears off.

Hi, mia.
Oh, hi, rory.

I just wanted to see
If you got here all right.

How's the motel?
Not too terrible, I hope.

Oh, no, it's great.

We have two beds,
Sanitized cups,

Keanu reeves in his
Most touching role to date.

What could be better?

Oh, grandma, hold on.

Mia:
Oh, emily's with you?

Oh, um, yeah,

We picked her up hitchhiking
On her way to a rock festival.

She's going
To the valentine resort.

Well, if emily's here,
She has to come to the wedding.

No, that's okay.

She's spending tomorrow getting
Rubbed, wrapped, and scrubbed.

Oh, no, she's asking me
To the wedding?

No, no. It's okay.

The ceremony's at noon.
We'll be there around 11:30.

Oh, please ask emily to come.

We have plenty of food.

Howard and I would be thrilled
To have her join us.

In fact, I insist.

That is so thoughtful of you,
Mia,

And I am sure
She would love to come.

Great.
Now I have to go.

No, you don't.

It would be rude not to.
Damn!

She says she's delighted
And flattered that you asked.

Oh, that's wonderful.

I look forward to seeing
All three of you tomorrow.

Sleep well.

You, too, mia. Bye.
Bye.

Well, I hope the resort
Will let me change my times.

I'll pick the two of you up
At 11:00 sharp. Be out front.

Of course, I didn't bring
A thing to wear to a wedding.

Luckily, they're going bohemian,
So it won't really matter.

[ door closes ]

Ugh!

We're bonding.

Oh,
This could be a good thing.

Oh, the only good thing

Is that mom
Is gonna get to the resort

Still smelling
Like bad lobster,

'cause I left my doggie bag
In her car.

[ knock on door ]

Hey.

Everything okay?
Great.

Everything's -- yeah.

Great.

You know I don't open
For another hour.

Oh, no, I know,

But when you said
You had to get up early,

I realized it's time, maybe,
I help crank up the place.

Okay.

I actually love this time
Of day, you know, real quiet.

[ chair thuds ]

You know
What's, like, amazing?

How peaceful stars hollow is
At this time of day.

It's, like,
Spooky peaceful.

You ever notice that?

I'm sorry.

I-I really don't enjoy talking
This early in the morning.

Oh, hey, copy that.
I'm right there with you.

[ chair thuds ]

[ sighs ]

Now, lane -- she loves
To talk in the morning.

Lots of morning chin music
With that one.

Not me.

I take not talking
Over talking any day.

Ooh, awesome catch.

Pretty obvious you
Played some ball.

A little.

I didn't really
Get into sports much.

My dad didn't do sports with me
When I was little,

And then he,
You know, split.

Yeah, you said.
That's too bad.

Yeah.

What kind of music
You into?

I don't really listen
To much music.

If I'm driving around
In my truck,

I'll, you know, maybe put on
An oldies station.

I like some motown.

I know the perfect band
For you.

You would so get off
On them.

They're young, but their sound
Is way borrowed

From those old guys
From the '70s.

Listen, I got to fire up
The stoves.

Yeah, go, go.
Fire 'em up.

You know, I can't
Pay you any extra

'cause you came in early.

Oh, yeah, I know.

I just figure
It's part of my job,

And it's a chance
For us to hang out.

Plus, you know...
The quiet.

Right.

Lorelai,
You didn't even knock.

Well, that's okay.
Mia leaves the door open.

She likes people
To just come on in.

She's probably too busy
To greet everybody, grandma.

Well, of course she is.

She should have someone
Greet people for her.

Oh, look at all these
Great pictures.

Not everyone has a maid,
You know, mom.

How hard is it to hire a maid
For the day?

Well, last I checked,

They didn't have them
At bed bath & beyond.

Oh, this must be howard.

Look. Here we are.

That's the rug

Where you used to spin around
At the independence inn.

I bet you threw up just seconds
After that picture was taken.

Are we going in,

Or are we going to watch
From the entryway?

Oh, you're here!

Lorelai! Hi!

Rory: hi!

Did you find it all right?

Yeah, mom's got the gps.

Apparently, it's great
If you know how to use it.

Yeah, we saw a lot of your
Neighborhood -- very nice.

Oh, those damn gps
Drive me crazy.

Whatever happened to asking
The guy at the gas station?

Good question.

Hello, mia.

Thank you so much
For inviting me

To this special
Occasion.

Emily, I'm so glad
You could be here.

Well, let's go in.
Let's not just stand here.

I know a wedding wasn't
What you had in mind

When you came down here.

What I had in mind
Was spending time

With my daughter
And granddaughter, wherever.

Oh, will you sign
My guest book, please?

I just feel so lucky

To have all the gilmore ladies
Under one roof.

Speaking of roofs,
You have a charming home.

Oh, thank you.

I'm always amazed

At what good taste can do
With a small space.

Oh, it is
Beautiful.

Yeah, so many personal
Touches everywhere.

Thank you.
I agree with emily.

It's a small house,

And it's made even smaller
By howard's junk.

But you know
What they say --

You marry a man,
You marry his junk.

Howard.

Howard, howard.

This is emily gilmore,

The mother and grandmother
Of the famous lorelai and rory.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

I thought you weren't
Supposed to see the bride

In her gown
Before you got married.

Uh-oh!
[ laughter ]

Yeah, and if the bride sees
A lizard crossing the road,

That's bad news, too.

Oh, well,
Haven't seen a lizard,

But too late for the dress,
'cause howard zipped me up.

Where's the zip-up
On the bad-luck-o-meter?

Not sure, but I'd throw some
Salt over your shoulders.

I don't have any salt.
I might have some splenda.

You are exactly as mia
Described you -- you both are.

And believe me,
She described you a lot.

Well, I hope she left out
The bad stuff.

There's no bad stuff.

Lucky you.
[ chuckles ]

Well, the sooner we get married,
The sooner we eat cake.

Oh, honey,
You're so romantic.

Emily, could I just
Borrow the girls

For a quick touch-up
In the powder room?

They're all yours.

Oh, thanks.

Okay, guys,
Let's get me beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

Mia adores them.

Yes, I know.

[ sighs ]

Well, come in.
Find a seat.

The sofa will be fine.

And so, a toast to you,
Dear mia.

It makes us all so glad
To see ya...

Blissfully joined
With dear, good howard.

May your love last long,
Like it's battery-powered.

[ laughter ]

Rory and I wanted
To do a poem for you,

Because when rory was little,

She used to love
Making up poems,

And we would perform them
For you,

And that was such a fun time.

Um...

Uh, so, what I've realized now

Is that you can get away
With a lot of bad rhymes

When you're cute and 5.

But we do want to say...

Would you mind terribly
Getting me a glass of water?

...The best things in life
Are worth waiting for,

Even if they take
A long time...

She keeps her house
Very dry.

So, let's...

A toast to you.

We love you so much.
Cheers.

Cheers.
Cheers.Cheers.

Hear, hear!
Congratulations.

Oh.

Thank you.

[ laughing ]
That was wonderful.

Are you rory?

There's someone here
To see you.

...That you are here today.

And thank you for those of you
Who came from so far away.

Thank you again
For the toast.

I'll thank my sister
For all the wonderful help...

Logan: hey.

What the hell
Are you doing here?

I don't mean to crash this.
I just need to talk to you.

How did you know
Where I was?

Paris found the invitation.

I kept trying your cell,
But you didn't pick up.

Well, that's the advantage
Of caller I.D.

I get it.
You're still mad.
No kidding.

I'm here, so you
Have to talk to me --

The advantage
Of showing up in person.

Wow, I can't believe
You're still doing this.

This is so
Last year's logan.

What?

You think you can just fly
Anywhere I am

And overwhelm me
By just showing up and --

I'm just not impressed anymore
By your grand gestures.

I'm not trying
To impress you.

I just want to tell you
What I've been thinking.

And I wanted to see you.

I'm in the middle of a wedding
Of a close friend.

I don't have time
To stand here

And listen to you explain
Your stupid behavior.

If you would just
Hear me out --

No, you go blow off steam
In vegas,

You gamble away
Thousands of dollars,

You drink all night,
And do god knows what else.

This is me
Blowing off steam.

I'm sorry
To interrupt, rory,

But mia wanted me to tell you
We're about to cut the cake.

Will your friend join us?

Um, no, he can't stay.

Yeah, I was just stopping by.
Thanks, anyway.

Oh, okay.

Talk to me, zach.
What do you got?

Okay, bowl of chili,
Two dogs, one blt,

Shepherd's pie,
And a mushroom soup.

And those guys in the corner
Were asking me

If I had a pack of lucky strikes
Or a burger to spare.

Bowling humor --
Strikes, spares.

Never gets old, guys.

Oh, I totally missed it.

Oh, man!
What's wrong?

Last night,
I made this mix of tunes

That I thought would be
Right up your alley.

Well, you know, new stuff

That sounds
Kind of classic rock-y --

My morning jacket,
Who are like neil young reborn,

If neil would have,
You know, died.

Wolfmother -- definitely
Channeling zeppelin --

Modern, but not so much

That it would freak out
Somebody of your taste.

The point is,
I totally forgot to bring it.

Oh, don't worry about it.

Yeah, but I spent, like,
All night on it.

Gave me something to do
Instead of sitting around,

Waiting for lane
To pop out the babies.

It'll happen.

Yeah, don't I know it?

Denver omelet,
Steak sandwich.

Two cheeseburgers --
Medium and well.

Question -- circumcision,
Yes or no?

Pardon?

We have to make a decision
As soon as the boys are born,

And I'm really on the fence
About it.

I thought about having
Mrs. Kim weigh in,

But her opinion would be
Kind of hypothetical

'cause she doesn't have
The goods, as far as I know.

Right, so, you being a guy,

I figured I could
Use your input on this.

You know,
Something like this --

It's kind of personal
Between you and lane,

So go with your gut.

Yeah, okay.

Cool.

Bill, refill?

Let's say your kid
Falls out of a tree

And majorly
Gashes his head.

Do you run to him
Right away

Or just let him
Kind of shake it off?

I don't want to be
A wussy dad, but --

Probably not
The right time

To be talking about gashed heads
And circumcisions.

Right. Right.

I totally get that.

Maybe we could, uh,
Go over to casey's after work

And grab a beer
And talk about some stuff.

Look, I-I can't be --
Please.

Okay.

Listen, I know
What's going on, okay?

You're about to become a father,
So you're panicking.

I am, dude, big-time.

Promise you
You'll get through this.

I don't know
How to throw a damn frisbee.

Don't worry about it,
Okay?

I just -- I really
Could use your help

On all this father stuff
That I know nothing about.

What the hell are they
Supposed to call me --

"Dad," "Pop," "Papa"?

Do I look
Like a papa to you?

It'll come to you
Eventually.

Papa is a big, cuddly guy
From italy

With all this dark hair.

That's so not me.

Listen, the first time
April turned up in my life,

I didn't know squat
About being a father,

But eventually,
It came to me.

I found my dad mode,
And you will, too.

Dude, I hope so.

Yeah.
Don't sweat it.

Deliver these
To the clowns

In the corner
Over there.

You will be fine.

[ sighs ]

I -- okay, all right.

Guy's a real goofball,
Huh?

Yeah, watch it, bill.

I'm not finished
With that pie.
Yeah, you are.

And I drove through connecticut
Once -- beautiful.

In fact, cathy and I considered
Moving to new england

'cause we love the foliage.

Well, we got a lot of that.

It practically grows
On trees.

But the cold --
No thank you.

I can barely handle it
Here in charlotte

When it drops below 40.

Cathy says
It's a circulation thing.

I think it's a matter
Of not having the fat layer

That you women do.

You should be glad
You don't have it.

If you did, you couldn't
Wear such an amazing sweater.

Hey, mia put out some
Of her famous mini cream puffs.

They're delicious.

Uh-oh, may have to get me
One of those.

Scusie.

God bless you.

Ha. No problem.

You looked
A little trapped there.

No, no, I was riveted
By stories of foliage and fat.

Where'd you go off to?

Logan showed up.

What?!
Yeah.

Where is he?

Outside,
Leaning against a car.

Why? You wouldn't
Let him come in?

No.

Really?
Look at you, all tough love.

I'm not gonna melt just
Because he flies here.

If we're gonna do this,
It's gonna be on my terms.

Wow.

It doesn't look like grandma's
Having a good time.

No, grandma's staging
A sit-in,

As only grandma could do,
In the middle of a hoopla.

Some people would call it
A shindig.

I'm here to tell you
It's a hoopla.

I have so much to learn
From you still.

Ladies, I'm striking out
Left and right

In my attempts
To coax someone to dance.

Would either of you
Salvage my pride?

Howard,
I'll dance with you.

Thank you.

Talk to grandma.

[ sighs ]

Hi, mom.
How are you doing?

Oh, fine. I'm just going through
My schedule for the week.

So, did howard
Ask you to dance?

He did, yes --
Very thoughtful.

Why didn't you dance
With him?

I don't feel like dancing
Right now.

Besides, I have no idea
How one dances to cowboy music.

You want to dance with me?

We could slap our knees,
Shout "Yee-haw."

I think I'll just wait
For the appropriate moment

To excuse myself
Gracefully.

Mom, I didn't think
You were gonna want to come.

So, lorelai, gal, we have got
To do some catching up.

How have you been,
Sweetie?

Good, donna.
Good.

Mia says
You have you own inn.

That is so far out.

It is great.
Um, mom, this is donna.

This is my mother,
Emily gilmore.

How do you do?

Really well, thank you.

Donna and I were maids together
At the independence inn.

A few hundred lives ago,
Huh?

Hey, listen, your toast
Was so great.

Thanks. I didn't know
I was gonna be the only one.

Oh, but you were
The perfect choice.

I mean, for god's sake,
Mia was like a mother to you.

Um, so, how are you?
You look good.

I do, don't I?

I tell you,
Six years ago,

When I first started
The raw-foods thing --

Do you know if they
Put the coffee out yet?

Mother.
What?

I'm sorry,
But you're talking

About something
Between the two of you,

And I could really
Use a cup of coffee.

You know what?

I am having a serious craving
For herbal tea.

Let's get something
Together, emily.

All right.

[ sighs ]

[ sighs ]

Hey.
Hey.

Everything okay?

Yeah.
It's fine.

I just always
Seem to forget

My mother doesn't play well
With others.

Oh, I think she's doing
All right, considering.

Considering...

I mean, in terms of you and me
And rory and our history.

Yeah, so?
We have a history.

Seeing me with you must bring
Back very painful memories.

Imagine how difficult
It must have been

For your mother
To lose you.

She didn't lose me.

I embarrassed her,
So I had to leave.

Even in the best
Of circumstances,

You never want to think

That your child doesn't
Need you anymore.

She wanted me
Out of the house

So she didn't
Have to explain

Why my school uniform
Didn't fit.

That's not
The impression I got

When she came to see me.

What?

When did she come
To see you?

Oh, must have been
Five years ago,

When I came back for that visit
To stars hollow.

She came and found me
At the inn.

Why?
I think she wanted
To meet me.

And she asked me to send her
Photos of you and rory

From those years when you were
Staying with me.

She never told you?

No,
She definitely never told me.

Well, my dear, my dancing feet
Are all warmed up.

Your turn.
Oh, goody, the dance.

Now we find out if we're
Really meant to be together.

Ooh.

You didn't have to
Bring me cake.

I didn't.

You wanted to talk,
So talk.

All I wanted to do
Was say I'm sorry,

So...I'm sorry.

You were right.
I was being immature.

Okay.

When the whole deal
Fell apart...

I knew I was
In so much trouble,

I just --
I totally lost it.

I couldn't
Face anything.

I had so much invested in it
In every way

That,
When it all collapsed,

It was like I fell
Into this hole

I couldn't pull myself
Out of.

And I also realized
That my dad was right.

He had every reason
To be pissed at me.

I mean, I would have fired me
For what I did.

So, I decided
The only way to fix this

Is to not be
My dad's employee anymore.

What?

I went to him, and I just --
I said --

I was calm, apologetic,
No shouting, no threats.

I just said I didn't want
To be a pawn

In whatever game
He had in mind for me.

I am officially not working

For the huntzberger group
Anymore.

Oh, my god.

Yeah, and it feels
Really good.

I mean, it felt great
Finally standing up to my dad.

How did he take it?

He tried to put up
This cool, detached front,

But I think I actually saw steam
Coming out of his ears.

Basically, he told me
To hit the road.

And you took him
Literally.

I just needed
To see you.

The thing is,
Even though he was mad,

I swear I saw the slightest
Glimmer of pride in his eyes,

Just for a second.

I mean, no one walks out
On mitchum huntzberger.

I'm proud of you, too.

I almost wish
I'd saved you a bite of cake.

Hmm.

Mia: boyfriend?

Yes.

He came with you?

No, I guess he flew down
To see rory.

It's hard for me
To think of little rory

With a boyfriend.

She's not so little
Anymore.

No.

I just hope she doesn't
Get her heart broken.

I can assure you, if anyone
Does any heartbreaking,

It will be rory.

Probably.
Definitely.

She's such a smart,
Confident young woman.

She's really amazing --

Witty, charming,

Valedictorian
In high school,

Editor
Of the college paper.

Sounds like she'll have
Her pick of jobs

At newspapers
All over the country.

Rory will be fine.

Well, you would know.

Hey.

Here you go.

Well, we should probably
Get going,

Let mia and howard
Do whatever it is

They're gonna do
The rest of the night.

Lorelai.
What?
That could mean anything.

Well, she's right.

The bride and groom
Have wild plans

To take off all their clothes,
Jump into their pajamas,

And listen to
"A prairie home companion."

See?
Dirty mind -- you.

I can't tell you
How much it meant

For me to have you here.

Oh, you kidding?
I wouldn't have missed it.

Mia, best wishes to you.
It was a lovely wedding.

Thank you...

For everything.

It was my pleasure.

Listen, bill over there is
Asking for seconds on his pie --

Something about how
You owe him from earlier.

Sure, give it to him.

Look, man,
I'm really sorry

About the way
I've been acting --

Leaning on you
For all this father stuff.

Don't worry about it.

I was just all
Bent out of shape

About being a perfect father --
Like there is such a thing.

And I was
So freaking nervous,

I'm like, "Hey, maybe luke
Can take up the slack."

Hey, if I can help out,
I will.

No, but I dig what you said
About the dad mode --

Makes perfect sense.

I'm really psyched
To feel it kick in.

Oh, I almost forgot.

This is the cd.

Oh, great.

Yeah, I listed the band names
On the back.

I mean, you don't have to
Listen to it.

[ telephone rings ]
No, I want to hear it.

Luke's diner.

Maybe I'll really
Get into wolfmother.

Okay, okay.
Do not move.

I'll be right there.
Don't move.

I have to go.

Lane's water broke.

I need my...Coat.

I-I don't --
I don't need my coat.

My keys are in my coat.

That's it. We're closed, folks.
I'm driving.

No, no, no, man.
I can do this.

Zach, zach, zach, zach.

Dad mode doesn't
Have to kick in right now.

Last one out, lock the door,
Turn off the lights.

What about my --

Just take
The whole damn pie, bill.

[ door closes ]

Lorelai: so, he's really
Not working for his dad?

Rory:
No, he's out of there.

Well, it's probably
The best thing for him.

How did he feel about you
Sending him back to new york?

Um, I think
He was okay with it.

I told him it was
An all-girls road trip.

No boys allowed, except for
That male stripper we hired.

Well, good night.

Oh, grandma,
Aren't you coming in?

No, I just wanted
To walk you to your room,

Seeing as this isn't
The safest of neighborhoods.

Mom, now I feel like I should
Walk you back to the car

And then you're gonna
Walk me back

And then we'll be stuck
In a loop

And neither of us is wearing
The shoes for that.

Oh, grandma,
You should stay.

We're gonna get junk food
From the vending machine,

And watch a movie.

Come on.
Don't you like dots?

Hey,
Get some little debbie.

Seriously, rory,
I can't stay.

Too late. I'm already
Getting you a little debbie.

Oh, I bought her a suit.

Did you?

Yeah.
It was so fun.

It was weird, you know,

But we found something
Really great,

And it just felt
Like a rite of passage.

I'm sure.

Made me imagine, you know,

What it's gonna be like
After she leaves.

Of course.

It's gonna be hard
To be without her.

Well, I'm sure
You'll get through it.

What I mean to say is, mom,

I know
That it was hard for you.

Hmm.

Have you seen
"The pursuit of happyness"?

Is that the one
With will smith?

He's so attractive.

Mmm! Mom has a thing
For will smith.

I don't have a thing for him.
Is it on now?

Yeah.

Oh, my god!
Lane had her babies.

[ gasps ]
Oh!

Zach just sent me a photo.

Here. See?

Oh, cute!

Aren't they cute?

I'm sure that little camera
Distorts their faces.

What do you mean, mom?
They're cute.

Here's another one.

Oh, sweet.

Why did they misspell
"Happyness"?

Well, we'll find out.

There's your boyfriend,
Mom.

Who?
He's not my boyfriend.

Will smith --
Mom has a thing for him.

You like will smith?

I think
That he's very charming.
