Hello?

Lorelai:
Do you come bearing pizza?

I'm not an idiot.
Then get in here.

Hey.
Hey.

Sit.
You're missing it.

What are we watching?

The incomparable
"Donna reed show."

What's in there?

A salad.
A salad?

It's a quaint dish

Sometimes used to proceed
Large quantities of pizza.

It's...For me.

Clearly.

So...Who's donna reed?
What?

You don't know
Who donna reed is?

The quintessential '50s mom
With the perfect family?

Never without a smile
And high heels?

Hair that, if you hit it
With a hammer, would crack?

So...It's a show?
It's a lifestyle.

It's a religion.

My favorite episode...

Mmm -- tell me, tell me.

...Is when their son, jeff,
Comes home from school,

And nothing happens.

Oh, that's a good one.

One of my favorites
Is when mary, the daughter,

Gets a part-time job,

And nothing happens.

Another classic.

So...What's this one about?

This one is actually
Quite filled with intrigue.

The husband, alex,
Comes home late for dinner,

And he didn't call.

Might as well
Kick the dog, too.

Oh, look --
She's making donuts.

I guess I was thinking
Of something else, mom.

"Not that my sugary attitude
Wouldn't make anyone

An instant diabetic."

Mother-daughter window
Washing -- we should try that.

Right after mother-daughter
Shock treatments.

"You know, there's nothing
More satisfying

Than washing -- oh, no."

"What? Did I miss a spot?"

"No, I just had an impure
Thought about your father.

"Funny -- I don't know
Why I had it.

It isn't the second saturday
Of the month."

[ deep voice ] "I heard you had
An impure thought about me."

"I must now sublimate
All my impure thoughts

"By going into the kitchen
And making an endless string

Of perfect casseroles."

You're not even listening
To the dialogue.

I don't know --
It all seems kind of nice.

What does?

Families hanging together,
A wife cooking for her husband.

And look --
She seems really happy.

She's medicated...

And acting from a script...

Written by a man.

Well said,
Sister suffragist.

What if she likes
Making dinner for her family

And keeping things nice for them
And...

Okay, I feel very unpopular
Right now.

The first ten years
We were married,

I was upset when you came
Home late for dinner.

And you're not anymore.
No.

You were no longer
Late for dinner

You were extremely
Early for breakfast.

Go on, have your breakfast

Hey, I'm not saying a word.

* 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 *

* 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 **

Can brains hurt?

Yes --
It's hypochondria hour.

Last night when I was reading
My biology chapters,

I distinctly heard a "Ping"
In the vicinity of my brain.

Your brain pinged?
Yeah.
It just went, "Dink."

Then your brain dinked.
It didn't ping.

I don't think a dinking brain
Is any less worrisome

Than a pinging brain.

You got me there.

So should I go
To a tumor doctor?

No. You're reading
Too much.

You're probably just losing
Your eyesight.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Hi. Can you take a little
Constructive criticism?

No.
Okay.

This place could use
A makeover.

Yeah, it needs sprucing up,
Like a coat of paint.

I don't spruce.
What do you mean?

He won't spruce --
That's what he means.

Taylor, do not start.

Me and the rest of the town
Beautification committee

Have been hounding him for years
To freshen up the place --

Maybe a couple of nice
Zinnia pots out front,

Some yellow awnings,

A peppy little cardboard pig
Announcing the specials --

But he's a mule.

He won't talk,
He won't reason,

He won't spruce.
You might as well forget it.

I'm forgetting it, too.

Finally, a taylor doose
Position I can get behind.

Faded paint is a bad reflection
On the whole town.

Whatever happened
To giving up?

When standards slip,
Families flee

And in comes the seedy crowd.

You got trouble, my friends.
Right here in river city.

Not funny.

Does anyone want anything?

Uh, yes, I do.

Why you won't paint this place?

Painting's a pain.

I'd have to close
The place for a day

Or paint it in the night,

Which I don't want to do
Because I hate painting.

Okay, how about this? I'll help
You -- I love to paint.

You do?
Yes.

You love it?
I want to marry it.

She likes washing dishes.
She's multifaceted abnormal.

We'll drink a couple beers,
Sing painting songs.

Painting songs?

Yeah, like, um,
The song that goes, um...

* grab your brush
And grab your rollers *

* all you kids
And all you...Bowlers *

* we're goin' paintin'
Today *

Say yes
Or there's another verse.

Well, I guess maybe...
If...I had help.

Really?
Oh, my god, that's wonderful!

Taylor, it's not for you,
It's for me.

I can't wait to tell
The rest of the committee.

They're not gonna believe
This.

I hate that he's pleased.

You'll drop a gum wrapper
In front of his store later.

Yeah, good idea.

Mmm -- kick-ass wine.

How poetic.

It's got a nice smell.
Earthy, vibrant.

You can taste
The italian's feet.

It's a bordeaux.
It's french.

Huh. What's an italian's foot
Doing in a french wine?

So when do you guys leave
For martha's vineyard?

Ah, we're not going
To martha's vineyard this year.

Why not?

Our rental wasn't available

When we inquired...Late.

We should have just bought
A place years ago.

It wouldn't have
Been prudent.

Now we have no place to go
Next week.

You could always go
Somewhere else.

We always go to the vineyard
At this time of year.

You could break the chain.
Go to paris.

Yes, paris!

Impressionism, poodles...
Creme brulee!

Impossible.

Pourquoi? French.

We only go to europe
In the fall.

I heard a rumor --
Europe's still there in spring.

I heard that, too.

But we never go in the spring,
We always go in the fall.

It's getting a little too
Lewis carroll for me.

What is so interesting
About europe in spring?

Spring vegetables.

You want us to go there
To eat a vegetable?

No, mom.
There's all kinds of stuff.

There's festivals,
And...You know -- europe.
In the fall.

It costs a fortune to travel
First class in europe.

We only do it
Every two years.
In the fall.

It's just not in the budget
This year.

You don't have to fly
First class...

'cause...
T-there's always coach.

Or business class
Is s-slightly less.

There's deals on the internet.

Hmm.

Pass the potatoes.

You got it.

Catherine the great --
1729 to '96,

Empress of russia,
1762 to '96 --

Okay, hold still, please.

Originally named

Sophie friederike auguste
Von anhalt-zerbst.

But everybody called her
"Kitten."

Married to grand duke
Peter of holstein in 1754.

Okay, rory, seriously --

The marriage was
An unhappy one.

Well, there were
Way too many names.

Ow!

Look at lady with needle
And just try to focus

So that I can sew the button

On your sweater
And not on my thumb.
I'm sorry.

[ knocking on door ]
I'll get it.

No...You're 4 years old.

Oh, hiya, baby doll.

Hey! You want some coffee?

No, I just came over to ask
A great big favor.

Morey just got a call
To play a gig

At the village vanguard
Tonight,

So we gotta go to new york.

Oh, wow! Cream?

And sugar -- thanks.

Anyway, yesterday morey
And I finally broke down

And we got ourselves
A new baby.

Oh, honey, you got a kitten!

What's its name?

Apricot.
He's just the cutest thing!

But he's so teeny.
There's no way he can go,

And I would hate for him
To stay alone in the house,

So I was thinkin'
Maybe rory could come over

And housesit
For the evenin'.

I'd love to.
Oh, great!

We got a kitchen full of food,
And morey just got cable,

So you can watch those
Four girls talkin' dirty.

Sounds good.

You're an angel!
You have a key, right?

We got it covered.

I'll leave you the number
Of where we're stayin'.

Have a good time.
We'll be back tomorrow.

I love you crazy girls!

Bye!
Bye.

Wow...I can't believe
How fast you jumped

At the chance to spend
The night away from me.

You're crazy.
I'm doing her a favor.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Sure you are.
Mom.

That's okay.
Don't you worry about me.

I'll be just fine.

I'd like to debate you
On that,

But I'm late for the bus.

This is only, like,
The second night

We've ever spent apart.
Does that make you sad?

Yeah, but I'll get over it.

Well, paul and linda mccartney
Only spent 11 nights apart

Their entire relationship!
Did you know that?

I did not know that.

Well, they were truly devoted
To each other.

Being apart was too painful
To even talk about.
I understand.

I don't think linda
Would have even considered

Cat-sitting without paul.

You know, mom,
When I go off to college,

I'm gonna be gone
Every night.

What will you do then?

Well, I will go with you.

I will sleep on the floor
In your dorm next to your bed.

Well, at least
You've got a plan.

Perhaps you'd like to take a
Picture of me with you?

In case you get lonely,
You can talk to it.

[ singing ]

[ bird cheeping ]

Carry your bird, miss?

Hi! I didn't expect
To see you here.

I just wanted to say hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

So...Who's your friend?

Homework.
Really?

We will be cohabitating
For the next month

So I can examine
Its every move.

Jealous?

I'll get over it.

So, hey -- I'm housesitting
Tonight for babette,

And I was thinking

Maybe if the right offer
Came along,

I might be up to
Some company.

Well, I'm offering.
I'm accepting.

Good.
You wanna get some coffee?

I can't.
Gotta get to work.

I thought you go to work
At 5:00.

No, 4:00 on thursdays.

For some reason,
Thursday's always busy --

Lots of oppressed housewives
Shopping

For their husbands' dinner.

Wow.
That was a little pointed.

What are you talking about?

That crack
About the housewives

Shopping
For their husbands' dinner.

Come on.
It was a joke.

Yeah, well, it was
A pretty weird joke to hear

Coming out of your mouth.

You are so sensitive about
The donna reed thing!

I'm not sensitive about it.
I just find it ridiculous.

Why?
What do you mean?

So she cooked a lot.
A lot?

She made homemade doughnuts,
Chocolate cake,

A lamb chop-mashed potato
Dinner,

And enough stew to feed cambodia
All in one episode.

So what?

You really like that concept,
Don't you?

No, I --
Well, yeah, sort of.

Oh, my god!

It's a little over the top,

But the general idea
Of a wife cooking dinner

For her family --
That's nice.

Why is that not nice?

It's not just that.

It's the having to have
The dinner on the table

As soon as
The husband gets home,

And having to look perfect
To do housework,

And the whole concept

That her one point in life
Is to serve somebody else.

Yes, but maybe there are
Two points of view here.

I don't think so.

You just feel that way because
Your mother feels that way.

So I have no opinions
Of my own?
I didn't mean that.

If I have
No opinions of my own,

Then I'd be the kind
Of girl you like.

My mom used to make
Dinner for my dad every day

Before she started working.

Now she even does it
On the weekends.

What does that say about her?

It says she has a choice
And donna reed didn't.

You do realize
That donna reed wasn't real?

Yes, I know she wasn't real,

But she represented
Millions of women that were

And did have to dress like --

Please tell me how we got
Into an argument

About "The donna reed show"?

I don't know.

Okay, look,
I gotta go to work, so...

Bye.

Dean...

What?

Bird?

Oh.

Hey.

Hey.
I'm just about to leave.

Where are you going?
To luke's.

We're picking out
Paint colors tonight,

It's gonna be hours
Of "Yes, no, yes, no,"

Until my world-famous
Perseverance wears him down

He winds up in a ball on
The floor crying like a girl.

Wanna come watch?
I'm housesitting, remember?

Yeah, but you have to eat.
Come have a burger.

No, thanks.

[ cheeping ]

What is that?

It's for school.

Oh, he's so cute!
What's his name?

Case study number 12.

Is that hyphenated?

Honey, he's adorable.
He should have a name.

I'm not bonding
With my midterm, thank you.

Alright, I'll name him.
Hi. Your name is stanley.

Hi, stanley.
It's a girl.

Oh. Sorry about
The stanley thing.

Your name is stella.

Stella's nice, and stella
Was married to stanley.

Call it whatever you want.

You're grumpy.
What happened?

Nothing, just a long day.

You know what the remedy is?

A ringside seat while luke
Envisions strangling me.

I'm gonna leave
The chick here

So the kitten
Doesn't get any ideas.

If she gets too loud,
Just put her in my room.

I'll call you later.
Okay.

Hey...

Are you okay?

Yeah. Just a bad afternoon.
I'll fix it.

Call me if you need
A wrench or something.

I will.

[ cheeping ]

Stella.

Now, this is
Another way to go --

Sort of a french bistro
Kind of a look.

This isn't a french bistro.

Really? It's amazing,

The things you learn
When you bother to listen.

Which you usually don't.

Yes, but then I don't have
A lot of useless information.

Thank god.
Now, if you wanted to do

A warm,
Golden tuscan countryside --

Then I'd go to italy.
Here -- I'll wrap this.

We could also go with...

A pastelly,
English-country-garden theme.

Maybe we could add
A stenciling on the ceiling.

No stenciling.
Do you even know
What stenciling is?

Does martha stewart do it?
Yes.

No stenciling.

Ask him.
I will.

Well, go on.
Don't push.

Hello, luke.
What do you want, kirk?

Taylor tells me you're thinking
Of painting this place.

That's right. He is.

Excuse me, I'd like
To hear it from him.

Luke, is -- is that true?

Yes, kirk, it is true.

Really? And this is
Your final decision?

I'm afraid it is.
Because it's not too late --

You heard him. He's painting
This place. Pay up.

Thank you.

Sorry, man.

It's a little late for that,
Don't you think?

Oh, I like this.

Okay.
I get it.

Hold on.

There you go.

Meow if you need
Anything else.

Hi. Is dean in?
This is rory.

Oh.

Um, well, will you tell him
I called?

Okay. Thanks.

Lorelai:
You ready to talk paint?

No.
Good.

I've got
All the choices set up,

And while any one of them
Would work,

I think this combo
Is currently my favorite.

See. Imagine --

This will be for the walls,
And this will be for the trim.

The edging around
The doors and windows.
I know what the trim is.

The colors are actually

Quite similar
To what you have here now,

But they're a little richer,
A little warmer.

What do you think?

Wait, wait, wait.

Huh? A little ambience?

This is a diner.
We don't do ambience.

Alright, one argument
At a time.

What do you think?

Honestly?
I have no idea.

Do you like it?

Yeah.
Okay.

Good.

What are you doing?

Oh -- um, the town council
Wanted to do

A before-and-after poster.

Out.

[ camera shutter clicks ]
Bye.

That's it --
We're closed for the night.

Listen --
Since you have to take

Everything
Off the walls anyway,

Now might be
A good time to decide

What you're gonna get rid of.

Everything stays.

There's a plastic dancing
Pork chop that says...

Everything stays.

..."I lost my head
Over a good chop.

You should, too."

Everything stays.
Okay -- everything stays.

This place hasn't been painted
Since my dad was alive.

I didn't know that.

He painted it
Before he opened it

And once more when the roof
Caved in one winter.

I think that's probably it.

The paint lasted
A long time.

He got his money's worth.
Yep.

He really loved this place,
You know?

The store was his life --
Mine, too, I guess.

I spent every minute
I wasn't in school in here.

And a lot of minutes

I was supposed to be
In school in here, too.

How come you opened a diner?

Why didn't you keep it a
Hardware store?

I didn't love the hardware
Business the way my dad did,

And I knew how to cook,

So I just thought
A diner would be more...Fun.

That's a hard word
For you to say.

[ chuckles ] Yeah.

I just always wanted
To work here...

Just where dad did.

God, that's nice --

To be so -- I don't know --
Connected to your dad.

That's --

I would have loved that.

You've got that with rory.

Yeah...I guess so.

I think there's a spot
On the wall somewhere

Where my dad took an order
One day he ran out of paper.

Really? Where?

I don't know.

Behind the counter, maybe...

...Next to the door...

...On the right side.

Oh!

Here it is.

Three hammers,
Phillips-head screwdriver...

And three boxes of nails --
In assorted sizes.

Wow.

I've seen it
From time to time.

[ laughing ]

Yeah, well, I...

I guess it is
Time for a little spruce.

Yeah...It is.

But let's not spruce
This particular spot.

That sounds good.

Okay.

Jeez --

No, no -- don't get up.

They'll go away, trust me.

[ doorknob rattling ]

They should be in there.

Just imagine it
All in pastels --

The whole thing.

Thank you.

[ laughing ]
You're welcome.

I should go.

Oh, yeah.
Oh -- okay.

Uh...So...

It's gonna be great.

Oh, I'm sure it is.

See ya.
See ya.

Lane?
Yo!

Hey, how's it going?

Very well.
I have discovered that,

In addition to my lameness
In geometry,

I also will not become
A biologist,

French translator,
Or civil war buff.

I guess that leaves bass
Player for the foo fighters.

I also wouldn't rule out
Keyboardist

In the siouxsie and the banshees
Reunion tour.

I like that you keep
An open mind.
What's up?

I need to borrow a cd --
The weird one.

I...Need more information.

I don't know
But I'd know it if I saw it.

Okay, well,
Let's have a look.

So, okay...

We have classic rock,
Progressive rock,

Pretty-boy rock --
Excuse me?

Bon jovi, duran duran,
The wallflowers, bush --

Got it. Next?

Um...Punk, new wave,

German metal bands...

Broadway soundtracks.

Interesting filing system.

Anything yet?

Nope. Sorry.

Okay, well, over there,
We have jazz, jazz vocals,

Classical, country,
Rockabilly,

Sinatra --
The capitol years.

Oh, wait!
The miscellaneous section.

Hey, that sounds right.

Ha -- william shatner.

Is this the one where
He sings "Tambourine man"?

And "Lucy in the sky
With diamonds."

Remind me to get this
For my mom for her birthday.

Oh, wait...

Hey, that's it!

Can I?
Take it.

Thanks.

So, what are you doing?

I'm not completely sure yet.

Okay.
Well, I want details.

[ imitating marlon brando
In "A streetcar named desire" ]
Stella!!

Oh, no.

No, no.

Okay.

Stella?

Do something.
Show yourself.

Molt or chirp or something.

Oh, this is so not funny!

Not funny.
Not funny.

Stella?
Oh, this is unbelievable.

All day long,
Just chirps like a maniac

At the top of her lungs,

And now, nothing -- silence --
Marcel marceau chicken.

Okay. That's okay.
I can fix this.

We can fix this.

I'm going to...Make this better.

I'm going to...Fix --

Hello?

Yeah?

Luke, stella got out,
And I don't know --

Do I put seed on the floor,
Make cheeping sounds,

I pull a lucy ricardo

Do chicken walk
Like I'm her mother?

Who the hell is this?

It's lorelai.

Who'd call you
Looking for her baby chick?

You're right.
I'm the idiot. Go on.

Could you come over here,
Please, and help me?

Uh...Yeah, okay.

Uh...I'll be right over.

Okay. Hurry!

[ knocking ]

Thank god.
Get in here.

This place is a disaster.
What's going on here?

Okay -- the last sighting
Was here,

By the in style magazine.

But then she burrowed
Through the glamour

And jumped over the cosmo

Knocked over
A bottle of nail polish,

All I can tell you is

There's no doubt
That this chick's a girl.

Okay -- there she is!

Stella...Stella...

You really do have a chick
Loose in here.

Yeah, I told you.

There she goes
By the kitchen!

Don't step on her!
She cut in front of me.

Well, she's being graded,
So let's not squash her.

Hello?

Dean: I wasn't sure if you still
Wanted me to come over.

Oh, I do, I do.
I absolutely do.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm totally
And completely --

You're teasing me.

Yeah, a little, but I did
Appreciate the enthusiasm.

So, how long
Until you get here?

Actually, uh,
Not long at all.

Why? Where are you?

Right outside.

[ chuckles ]

Uh...What the --

Honey, you're home!

Well, say something.

T-trick or treat?

What, you don't like it?

No, I do.

It's, uh,
Got a large circumference.

Thank you.

Now come on in.
It's cold outside.

Oh, my god.

Rory: here,
Let me take your coat.

Uh, thank you.

You're welcome.

Interesting music.

I'm glad you like it.

So, what's that?

Just some appetizers
Before dinner.

Before dinner?
Are we going out?

No.

Ordering pizza?
Nope.

So...

I made you dinner.

Excuse me?

Steak, green beans,
Mashed potatoes --

You made me dinner?
That's right.

You made me dinner?

And dessert.

Okay,
What is going on here?

I'm sorry.
I thought it was obvious.

It's donna reed night.

[ chuckles ]

I swear,
She went over there.

We looked over there.

She went under that chair
And didn't come out.

We moved the chair, searched
The floor -- nothing.

She went through a hole
In the floor.

There is no hole
In the floor.

Maybe there was a hole,

And she crawled through it
And fixed it.

Then she's
A super intelligent chick

With great physical
And deductive skills.

Yes.

Then that is not a chick
I wanna find.

Hey, luke,
What did you mean earlier?

What are you talking about?

When you got here,
You made some comment

About me not really having
A chick in the house.

I mean, if I didn't have
A chick here,

Why did you think
I was calling?

No, I thought you were calling
About the chick.

It didn't seem like it.

Maybe it didn't,
But it was.

Was what?

Was what I...Thought --

Can we just keep looking?

Okay.

I just still think --

There she is! There!

[ inhales sharply ]

Careful.

Well?

What can I say?

You can say it's perfect.

It's perfect.
Thank you.

How is it really?

It's perfect.
Yeah?

It's amazing.

I've never had anyone
Make dinner for me before --

Except my mom, and believe me,
It's not the same.

I'm extremely glad
To hear that.

Wait -- you wanna save room
For dessert, right?

Oh, that's right.

So...What's for dessert?

Lime fantasy supreme.

Which is...

Green jell-o and cool whip.

You are insane.

[ chuckles ]

Oh, no.
I forgot to make the rolls.

What?
I was gonna make rolls.

Well, that's okay.

I can't believe
I forgot them!

What are you doing?

I'll make 'em now.

Hold on. Come on.

We really don't need rolls.

Donna reed would have never
Forgotten the rolls.

They're gonna make me
Turn in my pearls.

I promise
I'll kick anyone's butt

Who comes near those pearls.

Rory?

Yeah?

As really amazing
As this whole thing was --

I mean, the music,
The outfit, the dinner --

You know I don't expect you
To be donna reed.

I don't want you
To be donna reed.

That's not what I meant.

This just totally got blown
Out of proportion.

I'm actually pretty happy
With you.

I know,
And I appreciate that,

But aside from this
Actually being fun,

I did a little research
On donna reed.

You did research
On donna reed?

Look -- see, she did do
The whole milk-and-cookies,

Wholesome, big-skirt thing,
But aside from that,

She was an uncredited
Producer and director

On her television show,

Which made her one of the first
Woman television executives.

Which is actually pretty
Impressive.

Well,
I'm glad this turned out

To be such a positive experience
For you.

It has been.

Even though I'll probably
Never get the feeling back

In my left little toe,
I'd do it again --

Yeah?
Someday.

But for now, I'd better get
These dishes cleaned up.

Oh, well, I'll help.

Sorry, you're a man.

You can't help
For another 15 years.

Okay, well, then,
As the man,

I'll do what the man
Is supposed to do.

Go bowling?
Take out the trash.

She's never going anywhere
Ever again.

I'm thinking of slipping
Some super glue

On the bottom of the cage.

That would be bad.
I know staples are bad,

But what's the verdict
On super glue?

Ask stella.

You don't have to do that.

This stuff is sharp.

I wanna get it
Out of the way.

Well, thanks for helping.

No problem.

I'm gonna throw this stuff
Outside.

[ cheeping ]

Hey. Hey.

What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?

You first.
I'm looking for a chick.

Yeah, me too.
You are not.

Neither are you.

Hey, luke, is there --

Dean.

Uh, lorelai, hi.

Fancy meeting you here.
Yeah.

Well, uh...

Hey, the jell-o's doing
This weird melting thing,

And I -- oh, mom, luke.

Rory.
Hi.

Uh, what the hell
Are you two doing?

Nothing -- she, uh --

We ate dinner --
Steak and beans --

Canned.
Canned.

Not fresh.
And potatoes.

From a box.
But they were still good.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

What were you guys doing?

Oh, uh,
I was in the house.

And the lamp sort of --
I'm gonna get going.

I'm sorry about the --

Oh, forget it.
Okay, bye.

Yeah,
I'd probably better go, too.

Thanks for dinner.
You're welcome.

What?

Well, okay, you're 16, you have
A whole house to yourself.

I expect you're gonna have
Your boyfriend over,

But what is with the apron?

It's a long story.

Did it involve
A sharp blow to the head?

I gotta go check
On apricot.

[ laughing ] Oh, my god.
I just saw the pearls.

I'm going in now.

I'm going inside, too,
'cause I have to write down

How I'll torture you
About that outfit.

Goodnight!

Could I get a picture?
Visual aids would really help.

Ooh! Oh! Oh, the shoes!
I'm dying.

Oh! [ laughs ]

Mom?!

I can't find apricot!

What? No!

She was on the couch,
And now nowhere!

That's it!

We are not animal people,
Period!

It was a tiny little favor!

We have had this discussion
Before!
You're being unreasonable.

I have my standards!

But this is
A simple request!

You are asking me
To compromise my artistic

And my culinary values.

Michel wanted
An egg-white omelet?
Yes.

Crazy man.
Why? Why am I a crazy man?

I didn't have time
For breakfast this morning,

So very nicely, I asked her
To make me an egg-white omelet

With some tomatoes, mushroom,
Chives, and she gives me this!

What is this?

A 3-egg omelet
With goat cheese,

Cooked in a sherry olive oil.

I don't eat dairy or meat.
You know this.

I am a chef, michel.

It's my job
To make food that tastes good.

But I can't eat like that
And look like her.

You don't know
What you're missing.

That will kill you.
You gotta go someday.

Someday,
This will catch up to you.

You'll become
The balloon lady,

And with the luck of god,
I will be here to enjoy it.

But you make
A good egg-white omelet.

I know.

Who wants to hear
About my night?

Oh, me!

It started with rory's chick
Getting loose in the house,

And ended with us
Up at 1:00 in the morning

Looking for morey
And babette's new kitten,

Who we found
Asleep in the piano.

That's very
"Wild kingdom" of you.

I'm the marlin perkins
Of stars hollow.

You want some coffee?
Please.

So how's rory's chick?

Better than my lemon lamp.

What's the matter
With your lemon lamp?

Luke killed it.

On purpose?
I can't prove it.

What was luke doing there?

I called him when I got home
And stella wasn't there.

Stella is the chick?

Yes --
I like that name.

"Streetcar named desire."

Vivien leigh
Or jessica tandy?

Hello! Tandy.
Of course. Continue.

So I evaluated the situation

In my usual calm,
Cool, collected manner,

Then I called luke
To help me track her down.

That's when he broke
The lamp?

Yeah,
He's not very graceful.

He said the weirdest thing.

"May I break your lamp?"

I was looking for stella,
And he said,

"You dohave a baby chick
Loose here,"

Like I made that up or --
I don't know.

Well...
Well, what?

You call someone and say, "Can
You come over

And help me look
For my loose chick?"

It's a little --

It sounds like code for
"I'm not wearing any underwear."

That's not the code.

Okay.

Sookie, you're not serious.

Look, the first time
Jackson and I...

Yeah.

I called him up and told him

I had a bat in my attic.

Honey, you do have a bat
In your attic.

He came over,
We went into the attic.

He knew there was no bat,
But we pretended to look for it,

And then when
We couldn't find the bat,

We went downstairs
And had a bottle of wine and...

So you're saying luke thought
I made up a crazy story

About having some chick
Loose in the house

Just to get him in bed?

Maybe he thought
You wanted to see him

And didn't know
How to say it.

A woman asking a man
To come over late at night

To her house --
Come on...

But this is luke
We're talking about.

Aha! Why did
You call him?

Because I needed help.

Why didn't you call me?

I assumed
You would be with jackson.

Why didn't you call rory?

She would've been furious
Stella was missing.

Why didn't you call patty?
She raises chickens.

Or andrew?
He lives around the corner.
What's your point?

My point
Is that you called luke.

Out of all the people in town
That you could have called

That would have come over,
You called luke.

Because
I had just been with him.

We were picking out
Paint samples.

He was on my mind.
It was purely a timing thing.

Picking out paint samples?
Yes.

For luke's place?

Yes.

So you could paint
Together?

Once again, yes.

Which was your idea.

Now the fact that I suggested
Painting luke's diner

Also means that I wanted
To get him in bed.

I'm trying to get any person
In bed with me!

I'm like michael douglas!

Lorelai --

Thanks for the omelet.

No, honey, I'm sorry.

I don't want you
To be mad at me.

I'm not mad! I'm not mad!
I'm tired!

Okay.

You know,
Luke is a really nice man.

Bye, sookie.

[ sighs ]

[ knock on door ]

Rory, lorelai.

We thought maybe
The doorbell wasn't working.

Come in.

We were ringing it
And ringing it, and nobody --

I guess we'll just come in.

That's the same as what we were
Paying for our old place?

Man: exactly the same.

Except for the grounds fees.

The grounds are larger!

I'm just trying to get
All the information, emily.

This is our last chance
To go to martha's vineyard!

That's all the information!
Emily, richard --

I realize the position
We are in,

But this is
A business transaction.

Richard, emily --

As a business transaction --
One in which money goes out

And we receive
Certain goods and services --

And he's patronizing me.
How lovely.

Emily, richard --

I must treat this conversation

With the same care
And devotion to detail

I would any conversation

That would be considered
A business transaction.

Kindly allow me to do so!

Richard, emily, please!

Goodness,
You startled me.

I'm sorry. I'm sure we can
Negotiate the grounds fees.

Well, that'll be fine.

Good. I'll get into this right
Now and I'll get back to you.

Thank you, john.

Yes.
We'll talk to you later.
Bye.

Careful, richard.

That canary you ate
Is going to spoil your dinner.

What's going on?

Your mother and I secured
A place on martha's vineyard.

I thought you lost
Your old place.

We did,
But this afternoon,

We found out that
Arthur roundtree had died.
He'd been drinking.

So we got on the phone
And snatched that place.

It's a fine piece
Of property.

Much better view
Than our usual place.

Both of you
Are going directly to hell.

Well, at least
We'll be well-rested.

Touche.

I am so thrilled about this.
I'm glad.

The two of you must come up
For the weekend.

It is so lovely.
Rory would just love it.

We'll see how much valium
Auntie sookie can lend mommy.

The only drawback,
Of course,

Is that we had to rent
The place furnished,

And arthur
Had dreadful taste.

Remember the library,
Richard?

Pink and green!
It was horrible!

It was just horrible!

Well, he's dead now,
So he got his.

Lorelai,
You're being morbid.

I'm being morbid?
New subject, please.

Joan and melissa rivers here
Think I'm being morbid.

Rory,
What's new in your life?

Nothing --
Just school, homework.

Aprons.
Do not go there.

What does she mean?

Nothing.
I was just teasing her.

About aprons?
Yeah.

I don't understand.
It's not important.

Then humor me.

Rory dressed up
In a cute apron the other day.

I was teasing her about it.

Why did you get dressed up
In an apron?

W-well,
We've decided to give up

On that pesky harvard dream

And focus on something
More realistic.

Mom, dad, rory's decided
To become a maid,

Just like I was.

Is that funny?

Did she think
That was funny?

What would have possessed you
To say such a thing?

I was kidding.

God, my heart stopped.

Why don't you tell them
About your bird?

Your bird?

Rory: it's for school.

Each of us have to follow
A chick through its growth --

Everything has to be logged.
Eating, sleeping habits.

Houdini habits.

She got out.
She ran far.

But she lived.
Thank god luke found her.

Luke found her?
What?

Rory said luke found her.
Getting me back
For the apron thing?

Did the bird get loose
In luke's diner?

No, the bird got loose
At home.

Your home?
Yes.

Ah.

When's your next trip?

Madrid -- the 12th.
Wow.

I think there's a nice edition
Of cervantes in it for you.
Gracias.

What was luke doing
At your house?

Oh, look, there's no ice.
I'll get some.

I asked you a question.

He was helping me
Find the bird, mom.

Really?
Yes, really.

How did he know
The bird was missing?

What, was he strolling
By your house

And he heard
Your plaintive cries for help

Or the helpless cheep
Of a chick in trouble?

I called him, okay?

I called him
And asked him to come over

And help me find the bird,
Okay?

He's always around
When you're in trouble.

He's a good friend.
Oh, please.

Do we've to discuss this?

I'm getting a little tired
Of being lied to.

Apparently we do.

This man was
At rory's birthday party.

He came to the hospital
With you.

He's the male lead
In every story you tell.

You go to the diner
Every single day.

I've seen the way
You look at each other.

I'm not a fool!
Mom, please!

Why do you treat me
Like I don't have a clue

What is going on
In your life?

Now, I'm asking you,
As a favor,

If you have respect for me
At all as your mother,

Just tell me --

Do you have feelings
For this man?

I don't know.
Maybe I do.

I haven't given it
That much thought.

Maybe I do.

Thank you.

I'm glad you were finally
Honest with me.

Now we can discuss

What on earth
You could possibly be thinking.

Don't forget the ice.

* beautiful dreamers *

* beautiful ones *

* beautiful dreamers *

So, you're sure we need
This many cans?

Oh, yeah, you need enough
For two coats and touch-ups

And little spots --
No, I'm not sure.

Well, we got the paint
And the brushes and the tarps

And all the other stuff
The paint guy said we'd need,

So I guess we're ready.
We are.

The only thing left to do
Is figure out when.

How about friday?
Friday?

You don't want this stuff
Sitting around.

I don't know
If paint goes bad,

Judging by the smell
When it's fresh,

Rotten paint would be gross.

Don't you have dinner
With your folks?

I can get out early
For a special occasion.

Friday it is.

Good.
Good.

Hey.
Oh -- hey, you!

Do you think you got
Enough paint?

I know.
I tried to tell him.

So, dinner -- thoughts?

Let's have some.
How about chinese?

Sounds good.
I need to stop at the market
And get some fruit.

I think I'm getting scurvy.

Really?
Yeah.

That or a cold, but either way,
I need some fruit.

Damn motorcycles!
They're a scourge.

Yeah. Yeah!

They're loud.
They're dangerous.

We should ban them
From town.

Maybe we should
Just set up barricades

And ban all unwelcome strangers
From crossing the border.

No, we couldn't do that.
That would be illegal.

Darn laws.

Ugh -- gotta get away
From that noise!

Kill me and bury me
With that bike.

What is it, a harley?

That is a 2000 indian
80-horsepower, 5-speed,

Close ratio, andrews
Transmission

And I wanna get one.
No.

Why not?
You'd die.

Oh, that.

Hey!

Hi.

Nice shirt.
Take it off.

Christopher.

Dad!

Hey! [ laughs ]

This is great!
What are you doing here?

I'm here to see you...
And your mom,

Who's not saying anything
About as loud as a person can.

Hello.
A word! Huh.

Perhaps there's a phrase
In my future.

Okay, why is that man
Staring at me?

That's taylor doose.
He owns the market.

He knows all and sees all.

What's with the just showing up,
Mr. Spontaneity guy?

My folks are in connecticut,
So I'm here to see them,

And I thought I'd stop by
And surprise the gilmore girls.

Are you surprised?

The teeniest feather
Could knock me in the gutter.

So where would somebody find
Someplace to stay around here?

Really? You're staying?
I'm thinkin' about it.

Stay with us!
Um, sweetie --

I don't think
Your mom wants --

It's not that.
I'm still surprised.

Mom, ple-e-ase?

Why don't you stay with us
For a couple days?

You won't even know
I'm there.

Hey, hop on.
Hop off.

Hop on.
Hop off.

Lorelai...

[ sighs ] Hop on.

Christopher.
