[ alarm rings ]

Mom!

* I've been praying all the
Week through *

* at home, at work
And on the bus *

* I've been praying
I can keep you *

* and to earn enough for us *

* I can take humiliation *

* and hurtful comments
From the boss *

* I'm just praying
By the weekend *

* I can earn enough for us *

* I'm just praying
By the weekend *

* I can earn enough for us *

* 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 *

* you need me to be with you *

* I will follow *

* oh, oh, oh *

* 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
Where you lead *

Wow.
You went new-cd crazy.

They just had
An amazing selection today.

"The best of blondie,"

Kraftwerk,
Young marble giants,

Yoko ono -- really?

A very misunderstood artist
And the beatles

Would've broken up anyway.

Have you shared this theory?

I know. Yoko knows.
Sean knows.

Julian's still in denial
Though.

Okay, I must listen to anyone
Named claudine longet.

Rory...

Yes, lane?

- I have a favor to ask you.
- uh-huh?

Well, you know dean?

My boyfriend?
Yes.

Yes, I do.

Okay, remember I told you

About his friend todd?

Todd. Yes.

Have you met him?
No.

Well, he's cool.
Good.

Really cool.
Good again.

- really, really cool.
- good still holds.

So cool,
That I have another question.

Hey.
I'm studying in there.

I know.

I have, like, 6,000 pages

Of case studies to memorize

And this whole big test

On the wal-mart phenomena
Coming up on friday,

And because I have a life
And a job

And business school's
Isn't all I have to do

I'm behind
And I'll probably fail,

And then
That little 18-year-old

Annoying gnat who sits behind me
Will get another "A"

And make that "I'm smart,
You're dumb" face

For the week,
And I'll be very upset

And will possibly cry.

The music's too loud.

Yes.
Got it.

Thank you.

So I was wondering
If you could talk to dean

About talking to todd
About me.

I guess.

And then maybe
You could ask dean

To ask him out...For me.

Good, 'cause I don't think dean
Would go out with todd.

Might screw up
Their friendship.

And I was thinking

This date could happen
This weekend --

- sunday, preferably.
- well --

After church.

Don't mention church --

Unless he's into church.

Hey, uh, now it's too quiet.

- I'll turn it up.
- thank you.

Who the hell is that,
Anyway?

Claudine longet.

The chick who shot the skier?

Uh, sure. Why not?

Wow -- renaissance woman.

You want to go out
With todd?

Yes. And I was thinking
You and dean could come with us.

Oh.

You don't wanna do it.
No. I --

That's okay. I understand.
No big deal.

Hey, granddaddy, new album
Used -- I love a bargain.

- I just really don't know todd.
- I do.

- you've met him twice.
-third time's a charm.

How do you know he's right?

I know.

We're talking soulmate here.

Last time you met
Your soulmate,

You ended up hiding
At my house for the evening.

Well, I still have my key.

Look, I made a mistake
With rich bloomenfeld.

Everyone's allowed
One mistake.

But todd --
Todd is different.
He is?

First, his name is todd --
Different name, different guy.

So how important is this whole
Business-school thing anyway?

So what
If I never run my own inn.

I like my job.
I like my life.

And I don't wanna be
Someone

Who's never satisfied

With what they have,
You know?

I mean, some people
Don't have legs or arms.

I have legs and arms.

What more could I possibly want
Than legs and arms?

I could take every class
In the world.

That's not gonna give me
Anything more.

Legs and arms?
Yes.

Am I sounding completely crazy?

Yes, you are.

[ sighs ]
Wal-mart is boring.

Study.
Aah!

So?
So?

- rory...
- okay.

Really?

Yes, yoko.

So...

What you doin'?

[ sighs ]

Yes, michel?

I apologize
For any inconvenience

I might be causing
Your future employment,

But your current one
Is experiencing a problem.

Once again
I say, "Yes, michel?"

Wouldn't you like me to wait?

No, michel.

Because learning
The eating patterns

Of the average
Taco bell consumer

Is a vital lesson --

Michel, what do you want?

We're overbooked.

How are we overbooked?

There are more people here

Than there are rooms
To put them in.

I don't understand this.

Well, I cannot describe it
Any simpler.

Where did the ruckers
Come from?

Judging from their clothing,

A town where high, rubber
Fishing boots and spittoons

Would be considered
Formalwear.

Okay. Put them in
The jefferson suite tonight.

Move them back
To their booked room tomorrow,

And offer them
Dinner on the house.

Very well.

I'm gonna get some more coffee
If you need me.

I'll try and manage
While you're gone,

Though, god knows,
It won't be easy.

Coffee?
Yes.

Great.

Necesito las hojas grandes.

Oh, meringue!

Yeah, I thought I'd do
A variation on a baked alaska.

- what kind of variation?
- I hadn't thought of that yet.

Maybe you could do them
In the actual shape of alaska.

Or you could do little
Baked alaskas and hawaiis.

Because they joined
The union last.
Exactly.

- oh.
- jackson.

Sookie -- hello.

Hello.

I brought you, um --

Y-yeah, great.
Just put them down there.

Right. Oh, yes.
How's that?

That's great.
That's just perfect.

I really like them there.

Yeah, they -- they do look
Good there, don't they?

Yes, they do.

Okay. Well, I should --

Uh, squash --

- I need some...Pattypan.
- okay, tomorrow.

Same time?
If that's good for you.

It is. It's perfect.

Okay. Then I-I'll see you

Tomorrow with the pattypan.

Great.

Yes.

Okay. So...
Who walked in on who naked?

Oh, god, this is horrible.

He comes in and --
Horrible!

What's going on
Between you two?

- I asked him out to dinner.
- I know -- weeks ago.

He said yes.
Which is good.

But since there's no
Definite plan or date attached,

The invitation is just out there
Floating in the universe.

Well, make a definite plan.

I can't!
Why?

What if he says no?

He already said yes.

Yes to the amorphous,
Theoretical,

"Let's maybe sometime go out

And do something
Not too specific" proposition,

But dinner and a movie --

It's concrete. It's real.
He might say no.

- I doubt he will.
- why hasn't he asked?

Maybe he thinks
You'vechanged your mind.

Why'd he think that?

Because you haven't mentioned
It again.

But I mentioned it once.

Alright.
Let's say it is his turn.

You can sit around
Waiting for him,

Or you can just run
With the wolves

And call him.

I don't want to.

You just wanna let
This opportunity pass?

I wanna be the girl.
You are the girl.

That's why we're having this
Very confusing conversation.

Should I ask him out?

On sunday.
Why sunday?

'cause that's
Your day off.
Okay.

You should do it now.

He's not back
To his office.

Does he have
A cell phone?
Yes.

People buy cell phones
For exactly this reason --

So you can get ahold of them
Any time.

I thought
People bought cell-phones

In case their cars
Broke down

And they needed to call
Someone for help --

Call him.

Call him?
Call him, sookie.

Call him.
[ giggles ]

And she knows his number
By heart.

He is my produce guy.
Very convenient excuse.

He -- oh, jackson,
It's sookie.

I was wondering
If you'd call me back

When you get a chance --
Sooner rather than later.

It's not an emergency,
So don't freak out.

The carrots look good.
It's almost a shame to eat them.

It's like you should put --

Sookie, hang up.
Hang up.

Call me. Bye.

[ giggles ]
I got his voice mail.

It gives you time
To prepare --

Maybe have a few suggestions
Of places to go.

Date prep time.
Yes.

Good. I'm good at that.
I'm good at prep.

Sookie...Spoon.

Right.

[ giggles ]

[ bell ringing ]

Is there anything in there
About me?

I don't know. Your name
Wouldn't be lithium, would it?

Aren't you supposed to be
In school?

We had a half-day today --
Teacher conferences --

So I thought I'd come by
And surprise you.

Well, you know how much
I hate surprises.

Yes. I'm very sorry.

That's for surprising me.

I have learned my lesson.

I have to talk to you
About something.

I have to talk to you
About something, too.

Okay, stop.
Sorry.

No, stay.
Why?

Because I really need to talk.

[ sighs ]
Alright.

- it's about todd.
- what about him?

What do you think of him?

He's my friend.
I know.

So that would signify
A positive impression.

Right. Okay. Good.

Yes. Can I kiss you now?

I'm not done yet.

Fine. Go ahead.

Well, you know lane.

Yeah, I-I do.

She likes todd.

Okay.

And I think that they
Would really hit it off.

You don't even know todd.

You do, and you like him --
You said so.

I did.
Okay, then.
There you go.

I'd really like
To kiss now.

Yes. So would I.
Good. We agree.

We should set them up.

- todd and lane?
- yeah.

We could all go out
Together --

Like to a movie or something
On sunday.

Rory --

It would be really casual --
No big deal.

I just --
What?

I mean, I'm just not sure
That I see them together.

You don't?

I'm not sure.

Lane is great.
Yeah, I know.

She's my best friend.
Yeah, I know that.

Todd should be so lucky
To get someone like her.

You don't think that

She's good enough
Or pretty enough --

I didn't say anything about her
Not being pretty enough.

I just don't know
If he'll like her

'cause I don't know
What kind of girl helikes.

But I'll talk to him.

You will?
Yeah.

And you'll mention sunday?

I'll mention sunday.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

So...Was that it?

Yeah, that was it.

Then can we...

Kissing -- right.
Let's go.

- I give up.
- that's the spirit.

I can't remember anything.

Not everyone is cut out

To be their own boss.

Maybe you are more
Of a worker bee,

A follower,
A ticket ripper,

Or the man at the concert
With the orange glow stick

Directing you where to park.

You're baiting me?

No. I seriously have no faith

In your aptitude.

He called!
He called!

And?

I did what you said.

And I asked if he'd
Like to go

To chez fleur on sunday?

Chez fleur, very nice.
Thank you.

And he said yes.

Oh, great!

He said yes,
But his cousin's in town,

And he's staying
For the week.

Oh, then,
Just make it next week.

That's a good option

Had I thought of it
On the phone,

But instead I came up
With another option.

Which is?
That we double-date

- with his cousin rune and you.
- what?

Yes, okay, not as good
As your option,

But it seemed pretty good
At the time --

Though I wasn't standing here
Watching you make that face.

Sookie, no.
I hate blind dates.

I know, but this
Isn't a blind date.

This is you
Keeping his cousin company

While I have a date
With jackson.

Oh, god.

Please?
I'll be your best friend.

You are my best friend.

- and you're mine.
- I know I am.

So what are best friends for?

- okay.
- yes?

Yes?
Yes, I'll go.

[ squeals ] Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!

You will not regret this.

Pick another phrase.
You will not have to pay.

Much better.

[ sighs ]

Oh, shut up.

Lorelai: rory!
Rory: what?!

Diva glam!
I've got it!

Bring it up? Hold still.

Is that too much?

No -- just enough to say,
"Hey, sailor."

My stomach
Doesn't feel so great.

Maybe I've got the flu.
You're nervous.

Here.
Thank you.

I need
The sparkly hair clips.

Okay, I'll find 'em.

You look pretty.

I do?
Oh, thank you.

I should cancel.
Let's see you lips first.

What if I'm being
An idiot?

By going out on a date?
With my produce guy.

You like him.
But what if tonight
Is a disaster

And he won't sell
To me anymore?

Oh, my god,
You're right.
Yes, see.

Since all the produce
In the entire world

Is in his possession and the
Produce grown in the future

Will be in his possession,

We will never again
Get any produce,

And our vegetarian
Clients will die.

I'm scared.
I know.

I like him.
He likes you.

He's not being polite?

Sookie!
No, I mean it.

It's like I cornered him
And he felt trapped.

- he had to say yes.
- no he didn't.

Oh, my god! Technically,
I am his employer.

I am. I buy his wares.
His livelihood depends on me.
Sookie!

I'm a sexual harasser!
Well, then, you need
Some false eyelashes.

This isn't funny. I am now
Desperate, anda criminal.

Okay, stop talking.
But --

No. You have exhausted all your
Talking rights by being crazy.

Sit down and listen.

Tonight is a good thing.

Whether you find out
That you're madly in love

Or you're not meant
For each other,

It's still a good thing,
And I'll be right there,

And haven't I done
A gorgeous job?

Ooh. I'll be right back.

You're sure you don't mind?

What's mine is yours.

I owe you forever.
Good to know.

Which one do you think
Todd would like?

- I don't know todd.
- I think the rhinestones.

Rhinestones it is.

What did you tell
Your mom?

I told her that I was gonna
Be here.

What if she calls?

I mentioned we might rent videos
Or go eat,

Which could explain any absence
During her call.

- very thorough.
- with my mom

You can leave
Nothing to chance --

Especially when there is
A non-korean involved

Who has no
Medical aspirations.

Hey. Sparkly clips.

- thank you.
- I like the rhinestones.

And, for a touch
Of glamour...

What are you gonna tell
Lorelai?
I don't know.

She wouldn't tell
My mom, would she ?

I don't know if she'd feel good
About lying to another mother.

It's like this weird
Code thing.

So we don't tell her?

I'm not liking
That option, either.

No. We'll tell her that we're
Meeting dean for a movie,

And then we go to the movie,

And then a friend of dean's

Just happens to be there
For the same movie,

And so we figure that it
Would be completely rude for us

To not ask said person
To come sit with us.

I say to hell with governor.
You run directly for president.

It's not that bad.

Let's just not think
About it, okay?

I really appreciate this.

I know.

How do I look?

- you look too good for him.
- just what I was going for.

We're going.

- oh. Where?
- a movie with dean.

Nothing dirty, violent,
Or french, please.

Coming home late?

There's a bit of doubt

As to whether
We'll actually get out tonight.

Sookie, please!

Okay! I'm here.

I'm down.

Wow.
Hey, where's your coat?

It's upstairs.
Aren't you gonna need it?

Well, it got caught
Around the thing,

And then when I twisted around
To get loose,

The choking started.
I'm free now.

Okay.
I'll get you something.

I would appreciate that.

- bye.
- bye.

Bye, kittens.

Bye, girls.

Huh?

Oh, this is beautiful.

It goes with the theme
Tonight.

It's a really nice thing
You're doing for me.

Any time, sookie.

Last looks.

[ knocking on door ]

I'll get it.

[ exhales ]

[ inhales ]

Hi.

Hi, lorelai.
Sorry we're late.

No problem. Just adds a little
More primping time for ladies.

Hi, jackson.

Sookie...H-hi.

- hi.
- hi.

- hi.
- hi.

Hi.
Okay.

Do you wanna come in
For a minute?

Oh, sure.

Oh, uh, lorelai,
This is my cousin rune.

Rune, this is lorelai.

Hi. It's very nice
To meet you.

Can I talk to you a minute?

What's the matter?

I need a minute alone.

Please?

Excuse us.

What are you doing?

That's lorelai?
Yes.

Did you see
How tall she is?

No, I haven't noticed,
Actually.

She's like
A basketball player.

Rune, she's a very nice lady!

You know I cannot go out
With anyone that tall.

I can't believe
You set me up with that.

What, was the bearded lady
Busy tonight?

It's just one night --
A little dinner.

It never crossed my mind

That that was who I had to spend
The evening with.

You're being ridiculous.
She's not that tall.

- she's tall enough!
- keep it down.

She's gonna hear you!

With those big ears,
I bet she can!

Hey! Rune, you come into town
Completely unannounced.

You eat all my food,
You crash on my couch,

I don't say a thing.

The least you could do
Is go out for one night --

Make some conversation,
Be pleasant.

Who knows?
Maybe you'll even enjoy it.

Why can't we go out --
Just the two of us?

Rune, please.

[ sighs ]

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay. I think
We should be going.

Yes. That sounds good.

What size shoe do you wear?

Uh, size 9.

9? Wow!

I wonder if the mussels
Are fresh.

Um, well, it does say
"Fresh mussels" on the menu.

Yes, but a lot of times
They're not.

They're frozen,
But they're called "Fresh"

Because they were fresh
When frozen.

If they're not
Stored with the correct drainage

They sit around in their own
Excretion, which is like --

Sookie, I beg of you,
Do not order the fresh mussels.

But if they're fresh --
Even if they're fresh.

I wonder where they get
Their carrots from.

The carrot crop this year
Has been really mealy.

[ sighs ]

So...Rune...

Yes?

What is that -- rune?

What do you mean?

I mean where did "Rune"
Come from?

I'm from out of town.
I thought jackson told you.

He did.
I meant the name "Rune."

You just don't meet
A lot of runes.

It's my dad's name.

Oh. Where'd he get it?

From his parents, I guess.

Okay --
Done with that topic.

Oh, the waiter --
Thank the lord.

What can I get you?

The mussels --
Are they fresh?

Yes, they are.

Where exactly
Are your carrots from?

Is there anything on this menu
That isn't french?

I'll just have a martini,
And keep 'em coming.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

They're fine.

I am not looking at them.

I'm looking
At the world around me.

The world is fine, too.

I just wanna
See them having fun.

They're having fun.
How do you know?

They aren't in prison

Or in some medieval
Torture chamber.

When you measure it
That way --

And the amazing thing is

All these girls
Are screaming

And none of them
Are getting the joke.

He's playing the character
Of a rock star.

I mean, beck is a genius

And all these stupid girls
Are screaming

Just because they're buying
Into the rock-star image.

I love beck.

I understand beck.

And the foo fighters --
Gods.

I mean, have you heard
The acoustic version

Of "Everlong"?

I can't even talk about it,
You know?

Hey, you know who I've really
Gotten into lately?

The velvet underground.

Oh, and nico --
She is amazing --

Depressing, german,
Scary chick.

I have the cd if you want
To borrow it sometime.

What kind of music
Do you like?

I don't know -- whatever.

Fugazi?

What?

The band on your shirt.

Oh. Huh.
Cool picture.

You don't know
What's on your shirt?

It's my sister's.

Oh.

What about books?
Do you like books?

[ mumbles ]

Magazines?

What about school?
What are you majoring in?

I was thinking about gym.

Gym?

If I major in gym,

I only have to take four classes
My senior year.

Oh. Cool.

Gym?

We work
On our bikes together.

He's got the good tools.

[ laughing ]
It was so funny!

Oh, god! You remember?
I remember.

What was rory, 8?

I believe she was.

That mud-pie fiasco
Haunted me for a year.

Hers looked just like mine.

Of course, I used
Homemade chocolate cookies,

Bittersweet ganache,

And she used, well, mud,

But they did look
Damn similar.

Oh!
[ giggles ]

Uh, so, sookie
Has been experimenting

With different forms
Of baking

For as long
As I've known her.

Oh, that's very interesting.

Yeah. Hey, lorelai, remember
When I decided to teach you

How to make strawberry tarts

And the entire kitchen
Was stained red

And I had to repaint

Just to make it look normal?
You remember?

It was. Sookie,
Let's go powder our noses.

You'd need a lot of powder.

We'll be right back.
Come on.

Oh, okay.

Sookie...
Yeah.

No matter how many beers
You buy me tonight,

I'm not going home with you,

So I'll concentrate
On the one who might.

You haven't said a word
To jackson all night.

I haven't, have I?
No.

I know. I'm just --
Oh, I'm so nervous.

Nervous? You don't have
Some guy staring at you

Like you're the kid from "Mask."

I can't think
Of anything to say.

To jackson?
Yes, to jackson.

Yes, 'cause to me tonight
There's been no "Off" button.

I-I just -- ugh!

This place is too fancy,
My hair is too tight

This dress is all wrong

And he looks really good,
Doesn't he?

Yeah, he does.

I'm being crazy.
I know I'm being crazy.

No. You're just putting too much
Pressure on this whole evening.

Look, in five seconds
I could take your hair down,

We could go someplace
More casual,

And, I think
You're wrong about the dress.

Really?
Yes.

Come on.
Let's go to luke's.

You know, have burgers,
Talk, relax --

No pressure,
No stress,

Unless I wind up stepping
On rune, which might be fun.

That would be great.

Okay. Come on.

Alright.

Okay, what about movies?

You must have
A favorite movie.

Yes, I do!

Great! What is it?

"Beethoven"!

"Beethoven"?
The one with the dog?

There's this scene

Where this little dog
Is running around

With a huge cabbage
In its mouth.

Oh, man, it's classic.

I shot my dr. Pepper
Right out of my nose!

I swear.

[ screaming ]

[ sniffs ]
Ew.

Welcome to luke's.

- this is much better.
- it is, isn't it?

Grab a seat.
I'll get some menus.

- hey.
- hey.

Four menus, one coffee,
And an anvil, please.

What's the anvil for?

For rune.
What's a rune?

Please,
Not that question again.

Okay.

[ sighs ]

Here you go.

Mind if I sit
Here a sec?

Why? What's going on
Over there?

Sookie and jackson
Are on their first date.

Seems to be going well.

I'd wear blue
To the wedding.

Who's the other guy?

That's jackson's cousin.
He's my date.

Lucky girl.
Yes, I think so.

He is even less thrilled
With the matchup than I am.

You're kidding. Why?

I'm too tall.
Get out.

Get out.
I'm serious.

Doesn't he understand
How great that is?

You can get stuff
From the top shelf.

Exactly. That is exactly
What I bring to a relationship.

Explain that to him,
Will you?

Luke, that is an exceptionally
Good batch of coffee.

Yeah?
Hello!

I added a little nutmeg.

Really? That's very
Richard simmons of you.

Well, what can I say?

Chicks dig a man
With a feminine side.

Oh.

Okay, I'm really bored.

Sit down.
We're about ready to order.

I don't wanna order.

I don't wanna eat here.
I wanna go.

Rune...
Jackson...

I came out tonight
Under the impression

That I'd have fun.

First I get stuck with her.

Then I get dragged
To a french restaurant.

God knows where I am now.

Oh, you're at luke's.

I've been very patient,
Jackson.

Sunday night's almost over.
I wanna go bowlin'.

And I'd like you
To go bowling with me.

Oh, well...

I guess we should...

Don't go!

Really?

Yes. Stay here.

We haven't even started
Our date yet.

No. We haven't.

Sorry, rune.

You're on your own tonight.

Fine! I'll just see you
At home then...

Maybe.

Bye, loon.

Finally.

Guess you'll only need
Three menus now.

Hey, why don't you make up
Three fabulous cheeseburgers

And send two over there?
I'll have mine here.

First I gotta watch a man
Walk out on you.

Then I have to watch you
Eat alone? Nope.

I'm not eating alone.
You're here.

I'm working.

After three cheeseburgers,
You're done,

Unless you're expecting
Elijah to stop by.

Okay, fine.

5-card draw.

Oh, you're on!

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Uh...Huh.

Give me four.

Aah. No, four more.

You can't have four more.
I already dealt ya.

Well, these don't help me,
And I have vowed

To discard
Anything negative in my life --

First rune
And now these four cards.

Whatever you say.

Ooh, much better.
Thank you.

Rune knew when to run away.

[ sookie and jackson giggling ]

God, that's nice.

Yep.

The whole "First date, beginning
Of the relationship" glow --

Everything's new
And exciting.

Every joke is hilarious.

Every little touch
Is incredible.

God, that's a good feeling.

It is at that.

I miss that.

You'll have it again.

Hmm...I guess.

Jackson: key lime pie.

You know,
Maybe sometime we could...

[ door opens loudly ]
Where are the girls?

Lane said she's with you
And rory.

I call -- no answer.
I think they're at video store.

I call again --
No answer.

I call third time --
No answer!

You had a lot of time
On your hands tonight.

They've gone to a movie.

With who?
They were meeting dean.

A boy?
You let them go with a boy?

Mrs. Kim,
Dean is rory's boyfriend.

Just because you let your
Daughter run around with boys

Doesn't mean I let mine.

I thought you knew.
I didn't know!

They could be anywhere!
They could be doing anything --

Smoking or drinking
Or buying drugs!

They're at the movies.
There's no drugs there.

They don't even have
Red wines.

I need to find them.

I'm coming with.

Flaked flick.
Yeah, not bad.

Lane,
What did you think?

I think it's late
And I should get home.

Really?
Yeah, but it's been fun.

No, come on. Let's go get some
Ice cream or something --

Eat it really fast, get
That freezy brain thing going.

So tempting, and yet --

Lane kim!

[ shouting in korean ]

My mom.

My mom.

Two moms --
That's gotta be bad.

Mama,
I was just about to --

- mom, I can --
- not the time, rory.

You lied to me!
I'm sorry.

Get home -- right now!

- whoa. Rough family.
- what's goin' on?

Bits of information were left
Out of the mom packets.

Mother and daughter number two
Are leaving now. Say bye, rory.

Bye.

I'll call you later.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Yeah. Bye, dean.

That's rory's mom?
She's a babe!

And what were you thinking?
I know.

You lied to me.

What is that nonsense
All about?

I know
I shouldn't have lied.

Damn right you shouldn't have.

Lane really wanted
To go out with todd.

I didn't tell you

So you wouldn't have to lie
For us.

You lied to me so I wouldn't
Have to lie to mrs. Kim?

- you are my daughter.
- I'm so sorry.

I have to know
Where you are,

Especially when you have
My shoes on.

This trust thing works
Both ways.

I hated doing it.
Good.

Would you have?
What?

Lied for us.

To mrs. Kim? No.
Yeah.

Why?
'cause that lady's scary.

I can't lie
To another mother.

That's breaking the code.

So then what were we
Supposed to do tonight?

Look, I know mrs. Kim

And robert duvall
In "The great santini"

Share a striking resemblance,
But she is lane's mom.

She can tell lane
Not to do something.

You have to respect that,

And I really
Have to respect that.

So we were in a no-win situation
Tonight?

Yep.
Great.

Sorry.

You know the good thing
We learned from this?

- what?
- that I'm a babe.

Hey.

What's up, rapunzel?

In all my various fantasies

About who might appear
At this window,

You never actually
Made the list.

- how are you?
- I'm okay. I guess.

I was afraid to call.
I think that's best for now.

Your mom's really mad, huh?

The words "Convent"
And "Siberia"

Were both used several times
And at least once as a combo.

- I'm really sorry, lane.
- it's not your fault.

I shouldn't have arranged it.

You arranged it because I asked,
And I'm really glad you did.

If you hadn't set me up
With todd,

Then I would still love him.

Not the guy for you, huh?

Not for anybody
Who can read, write, talk,

Or function
On a basic human level.

I'm sorry.

I was so bored that night.

I have been
On korean meditation weekends

That have had more laughs.

He liked you, though.
Dean told me.

I know.
He called here.
You're kidding?

I pretended to be my mother.
Was that mean?

I think he'll survive.

He and dean
Went muffler shopping today.

That's nice.

So how long
Before you can get out?

I don't know.

I've to be in at all times
Except for school and church.

She didn't give you
Any time frame?

Nope.
I miss you.

I miss you, too.

Is there anything I can do?
Yeah.

Don't tell anyone
I went out with todd.

I promise.

I gotta go.
Bye.

You break -- you buy.

It was sticking out
In the aisle.

You break -- you buy!

But I didn't put it
In the aisle.

You have eyes, yes?
Yes.

These eyes work?
Yes.

They can make out shapes,
Sizes, colors?

Yes, they can do
All that --

Eyes work!

They send message to brain --
"Lamp in aisle -- move."

You move. You don't break lamp.

You had no eyes.

That's between you and them.
You break -- you buy!

We appreciate your business.

Oh, hello.

Hi. So, I was wondering

If I could talk to you.

I'm working.
Right, well.

This is gonna be quick,

You'll be amazed.

Fine. Come.

Look, I am really sorry

About what happened
The other night.

Rory has never lied
To me before.

That you know of.

No, I'm pretty sure
That was the first time

And it definitely
Was the last.

Fine.

I didn't want you to feel like

You couldn't send lane

Over to our house anymore

Um, because you can.

Believe me. Those girls go
Nowhere without telling me.

In fact,
I was thinking of having

Some house-arrest
Ankle bracelets made --

Maybe cute ones
With a leopard print

Or zebra stripes --

Maybe
A little glitter design.

Lane won't be coming over.
She will stay in our house.

Right. I was talking
About later.

She's not gonna be grounded
Forever?

Lane lied to me,
And she must be punished.

I totally agree.
But lane is a really good kid.

I've never met a kid

Who respects her parents

More than lane respects you.

Lying is not showing respect.

Uh...She's 16.

She had a crush on a boy.

Lane is not allowed
To date boys

Unless
We have approved them.

She knows our rules.
She broke them.

That is unacceptable.

Okay. Yes, you're right.

But teenagers
Sometimes slip up.

I don't care
What teenagers do.

I care what lane does.

You know,
It doesn't always work

To just lock a kid up
And throw the key.

I didn't throw away the key.
It's in the kitchen.

Okay. Well, I was talking
Symbolically, but alright.

I'm with you now.

When I was a teen, my parents
Tried to keep me locked up.

They tried to force me
To become what they had in mind.

I'm not talking
Exactly about lane here,

But in my case,
It really didn't work.

You blame your parents
For getting pregnant?

No. If I'd had
A little more space

Or someone to listen to me,

Things might have turned out
Different.

Now, I got lucky,
Because having rory --

Totally the best thing
That could have happened.

But let's be honest.

I certainly don't want rory
To turn out like me.

I don't want lane
To turn out like you either.

I believe
That's the first thing

You and I have ever agreed on.

- I just want lane to be safe.
- I just want rory to be safe.

So I'm gonna go now.

Hey, I think you are doing
A great job with lane.

She's a really great kid.

I wanted to put
My two cents in

Because that's what I do.

Bye.

[ sighs ]

I know --
You break -- you buy.

I heard earlier.
It's $35, right?

An "A" minus --
I am very impressed.

And annoying boy
In back of me -- "B" plus.

- loser.
- I know.

It's all very exciting.

Hey, sookie and jackson

Have another date tonight.

What is that,
The third one this week?
Yeah.

That is so great.
I know it is.

If she tells me the story

Of how jackson
Cultivates mealworms

To help fertilize his plants

I'm gonna romeo and juliet them.

It's sweet.
Mealworms.

Gross but sweet.

[ pager beeping ]

You know the rules --
No pages before french fries.

Oh, my god, it's lane.
You're kidding?

Give me your cell phone,
Quick.

Where are you going?
I'm going outside.

- luke hates cell phones.
- so?

I don't want to incur
His the wrath.
Why not?

I'll be back.
Goody-goody.

[ phone ringing]

Rory?
Lane?

I'm standing in the yard!
I'm standing in the yard!

My god!
She let you out?

I can go till the sign!

That's so great!

Hey.
Hey.

I haven't seen you
Since the other night.

- everything turn out okay?
- oh, yeah, fine.

The dating world
Of 16-year-old girls --

Very exciting stuff.

I bet.

Oh, uh, coffee?
Do you have to ask?

I had a good time
The other night -- cards.

Oh, yeah, yeah --
Me, too.

In fact,
You rushed out of here

Before I had a chance
To, uh...

A chance to...

...Kick your ass in poker.

You wish.

Burger?
Two, and fries.

Maybe we could do it again
Sometime.

Oh. Yeah.
Well, I-I would like that.

Here.
Where are you going?

Lane's allowed outside
For 15 minutes.

I'm gonna stand across the
Street.

Still want
Your burger?
I'll be back.

Yell "Hi" for me!

[ theme music ]
