Can I have some baby pictures
Of you and grandpa?

Any particular reason?

We're doing this family-history
Project for school.

If it's for school,
I could dig something up.

I need some of mom, too.

I thought we had
This conversation.

But I don't believe you.

Tell her.

I don't have any
Pictures of your mother.

Thank you.

How could you not have any?

When your mother was 7,

I found her burning
Her baby pictures.

Why would you do that?

I'm sure
You were a cute baby.

She was very cute.

4, 3, 2, 1...

In most respects.
We have liftoff.

What does that mean?
Nothing.

I don't see the problem.
You certainly grew into it.

Grown into what?

As a child, your mother had
An unusually large head.

The best thing about it was
She would tell me constantly.

My first sentence
Was "Big head want dolly."

Couldn't have
Been that bad.

It wasn't.
It just affected her balance.

Can we talk about something
Besides my formerly huge head?

Are these new chairs, grandma?

Why, yes, they are.
They are?

I got them from
A dealer in maine.

He just finished
Restoring them.

They look like the old ones.

They're nice.
Sure they're new?

Of course --
I bought them.

I don't see
Any difference at all.

The arch is higher, and
They have a different leg.

No difference.
I could only get 10.

So I'm two chairs
Short of a set.

You're telling me.

Do you realize
How rare these chairs are?

No.
I searched for three years.
For them.

I combed every fine antique
Store on the east coast,

This is all
I could find.

I blame peg mossley.

Mmm. Peg mossley --
Evil, evil woman.

What did peg mossley do?

She lured
These two german children

To her gingerbread house,
Then tried to eat them.

Pass the artichokes.

I made the mistake
Of telling peg

All my favorite
Special spots,

And that woman moved in
And wiped them out.

You can't find
A decent biedermeier hutch

In all of connecticut.

I'm desperate
For new sources.

What about kim's antiques?

What's kim's antiques?

Didn't that burn down?

My best friend, lane --

Her parents have
This great antique store.

Why haven't you ever
Told me about it?

Oh, I don't know.

Guess it just got lost
In my big head

Maybe you should come
To stars hollow.

You can come see the town.

Won't you have to study?

I can put off studying.
I'm working.

No one's asking you.
This is between rory and me.

I accept your offer.

I would love
To spend saturday with you.

Great.

I'm sorry
That I'm gonna miss it.

Eat your artichoke, lorelai.

* 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 *

Okay, then, french toast
And bacon crispy.

Pancakes,
Two eggs over easy.

Oh.
What?

You put the eggs
On the pancakes.
Oops.

It's like two eyes staring at
Me. I can't eat it like this.

Hence the "Oops."

You always order
The same thing.

You put the eggs
On the sides

So my breakfast
Is not ogling me.

It's the same food.

I need the eggs put on the side.

You want a new plate?
Yes.

How about I take this plate,
Take the eggs off,

Put the same eggs on the side,
And bring the plate back?

Then I can eat my breakfast.

Same food,
Just a different configuration.

I won't know that.

I'll take the plate
In the back.

So, what time does
The judgmental express arrive?

Grandma gets here at noon.
Are you sure you won't do lunch?

No, I can't. Lunch is bad.

Lorelai, you're here.
Good. Don't move.

I-I won't.

What are you doing at lunch?

I have very
Important things to do.
Like what?

I have to not have lunch
With my mother.

Very nice.

I'm developing my pictures
From the firelight festival,

And I'm thinking,
There's a book here --

"Faces of small town america."

"You should feel safe. You don't
Live near these people."

Exactly. And the very last
Shot on my roll...Was this.

Wow.
When did you take this?

When you weren't looking.

What's that?

It's a picture of us.
Us?

Rachel took it.

At the firelight festival.

Oh, sure. Yeah.
So, uh...

Here's your plate --
No eyes.

Thank you.

Do you wear contacts?

Me? No.

You've got amazing eyes.
Doesn't she?

Yeah, sure, I guess.

They're, you know,
Placed good.

S-symmetrical.

I'm gonna get
Some more coffee.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.
Mom, look at this.

What is that?

It's an old abandoned inn

I ran across
When I was exploring.

This is dragonfly.

I totally forgot
About this place.

It doesn't look like
It's been operational in years.

Look at all the trees.
It's pretty.

Oh, I'm buzzing.

What have I said
About buzzing in public?

It's lane. 911 -- that's trig.
Gotta go.

Uh, take a -- yeah.

Bye, rachel.
Bye.

That is one
Really not-annoying kid.

Yes, she really is not.

I might consider
The mom thing

If I could be guaranteed
I could get one like her.

You can -- go to sears.

God...
Where is this again?

It's behind the mill.

You go across
A little footbridge

With the mean duck family
Under it.

Yes, the armbrewsters.

Wow, it's really amazing.

Do you want to see it?
What?

The inn. I'm gonna head
That way in a little while.

Finish breakfast.
I'll drive us out there.

Drive her out where?

Oh, lorelai and I are
Going to cruise the docks.

We're gonna see
How many sailors we'll get

To tattoo our names.

What do you think?
I gotta check-in
At the inn.

That's okay -- good.
I'll pick you up there.
Okay, good.

What was that
All about?

We're gonna check out
This old inn rachel found.

What?
I didn't know
You guys were friends.

We're not really friends.

I don't know her that well.

We're just hanging out.
She seems great.

She is -- she's great.

She's just
A lot different from you.

'cause I'm not
Really great?

No, you're great,
Just in a different way.

In a not really great way?

That's not what I meant.

The two of you are just
Completely different people --

Both great. But I'm just
A little surprised

That your different types
Of greatness are melding

And you're comfortably great...
Together.

Is this bothering you?
This conversation, yes.

No, the idea of rachel
And I hanging out together --

Is there some reason
That's weird for you?

Why would it be?
I don't know.

Then it's not weird.
I was just checking.

Well, then, you checked.

Okay. So are you gonna be
Pouring that coffee any time?

I'm glad
It's not weird, though.

Oh!

I'll get a rag.

Welcome, moshira motors,
To the independence inn.

The dining room
Is there...

[ speaking japanese ]

And breakfast is served
6:00 to 11:30,

Although our chef
Is an amazing overachiever,

And she'll be happy
To prepare anything you want

Any time of day.

Now, uh, your itinerary
For the conference

Will be
In each of your rooms.

And if you have
Any questions at all,

Please feel free
To ask --

No.

Somebody else -- not him.

Okay, so ask roger.

Roger will be happy to help you.
Thanks so much.

[ sighs ]

Rune is in the lobby.

Lorelai! Hello!
I made some coffee.

[ sternly ]
Rune is in the lobby.

I also made those
Orange-glazed muffins you like

With warm cinnamon butter.

Sookie, rune is in the lobby.
Why?!

Your muffin's getting cold.

My muffin wants to know what the
Fruitcake is doing in the lobby.

He's staying with jackson.
Again?

I thought he was
Only here for a weekend.

Yes, the lost weekend.

Okay, explain, yoko.

He's out there
With the normal people,

And he's gonna scare them.
He won't leave.

Jackson's house?
Yes.
It's driving me crazy.

Tell jackson
To kick him out.

Jackson won't do it.
Why not?

He says it's family.

And he feels
Responsible for him.

But has jackson met him?
That would change his mind.

Rune had a rough childhood.
His parents don't talk to him.

His brothers and sisters
Don't talk to him.

So, then,
What's wrong with jackson?

I don't know, but he's
Determined to stand by him,

I have to respect
His decision.

That part I understand.

The part I can't understand is,

What is rune doing in the lobby?

Yeah, well, I don't --

Lorelai!
Jackson!

These are for you.

Oh, for me?

Yeah, and I also brought
Some of my raspberry-peach jam.

I think
You're gonna like it.

Put it on ice cream.
Okay.

Or spread a little on
Graham cracker,

Or throw a chocolate bar
In the broiler,

And you'll be singing
Show tunes all evening.

Must be good jam.

It's my way of saying thanks
For helping out rune.

Thanks...
For helping out rune.

Okay, I'm doing
The spoon signal.

I didn't notice.

I'm waving around
Like an idiot.

You haven't --

No.
Ah.

Yeah.

So I should --
Good idea.

Right.

Um...Enjoy the jam.

Mmm.

Well, uh, would you mind
Explaining the thank-you jam?

I was supposed to ask you
Something about rune.

Like what?

He just, not too long ago,
Lost his job.

Oh, attitude problems?

Uh, something like that.
Uh-huh.

When he lost his job,
He couldn't pay his rent,

So then he got evicted.

This was not known to us when
He came to stay with jackson.

So I was thinking that
If he could get another job,

He could save up some money,
Afford his own place

And move out, then I wouldn't
End up stabbing him in the neck

With a grapefruit spoon.

Ouch.
It's gonna happen.

You want me to give him a job?

Nothing important.
Good.

I was gonna put him
In charge of legal.

I know it's a lot to ask.

What can he do?

Lots of things.

He's always fiddling around,
Using screws.

Once I saw him use a hammer.

He could be a handyman.

You were always looking
For a good handyman.

I couldn't pay him much.

That's okay. Maybe he could
Just work for room and board.

You want him to live here?

No. Well, what about
The old potting shed?

That's where rory and I lived
When she was a baby.

It has memories
And little rosebud wallpaper.

I don't want boo radley
Touching my rosebud wallpaper.

A job is enough --
You're right.

He can save up money
And eventually move out.

I'll just
Have to deal with it.

The potting shed's fine.

Really?

Yes.

I love you.

The minute the guests start
Complaining or disappearing,

He's out of there.
More than fair!

It's really good jam.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

[ car horn honks ]

Grandma.
Rory, hello.

What a lovely day to --

Oh.
Are you okay?

I guess putting in a walkway
Never occurred to your mother.

It occurs to her every day
On the way to work. Here.

Thank you.

Are your shoes okay?

They're fine.

They're just a little muddy.

Give 'em.
I'll clean them for you.

Oh, you don't have
To do that.

My mom found
This great shoe cleaner.

It gets out
Pretty much anything.

Do you want something
To drink?

There should be some iced tea.

Iced tea would be nice.

Oh, my god!
There's nothing in here.

It's a little sparse.

It's "The grapes of wrath."

Don't worry.
We eat fine.

No food, no drink --
Do you at least have plates?

Yes, we have plates.

There are women
In bikinis on them.

The original
"Charlie's angels."

It took us years
To get a complete set.

You can find "Kate jacksons"
And "Shelley hacks" easily,

But the "Farrah fawcetts"
And "Jaclyn smiths"

Are harder to come by,
But still accessible.

The real trick, however, is
To find the "Tanya roberts."

We have three.

Three "Tanya roberts"?

Yep.
And I was worried.

How are you doing
With those shoes?

All done.

[ gasps ] That's amazing!
What is that you used?

I don't know.

We got it off one of those
Late-night tv ads.

It also gets rust
Off nails and hinges,

Waxes your car perfectly,
And weatherproofs windows.

Well, isn't that nice.

I think I should just give you
The grand tour of the town.

We can start
By walking to kim's antiques,

Which takes us by
All the good sites.

I didn't I wear the right shoes.

Why don't we just drive?

You can borrow
My mom's shoes.

No, I don't think so.

Rory, hold on a minute.

You'll be missing
The stars hollow experience

If you don't walk.

But I won't wear anything with
Rhinestones or zebra stripes

Or anything
That has batteries

Or that sings, makes animal
Noises or moves on its own.

I got it.

Oh.

It must have been something

When it was all fixed up
And nice.

Can I ask what the fascination
With this place is?

Oh, well, uh,
Me and my friend sookie,

We've been kind of
Toying with the idea

Of opening our own place
Together.

Really?

Yeah. I mean, someday.

Obviously not now.
We're still saving up.

Are you close?

No, not at all.

Well, this looks like
It could be a great place.

Yeah, it really does.

God...

A little paint,
Some pretty curtains.

$150,000 of construction --
We're open for business.

Did you always want
To own an inn?

No, I was still dreaming
Of owning a red camaro

When rory appeared
On the scene.

Ahh, right. Huh.

It's a new idea
In the last couple of years.

Did you always want
To be a photographer?

Not specifically.

I just remember
Growing up thinking,

"I want to be anywhere
But here."

That was you
In the other room!

I picked something that would
Keep me moving...Constantly.

Sounds exciting.

It is. Tiring, too.

And now that I'm here,
Back with luke, I don't know.

Things seem to be going
Pretty well for you guys.

I guess,
These last couple of weeks,

It's become
Increasingly apparent to me

That things just can't continue
The way they've been.

What do you mean?

I think it's time
We get serious.

I'm ready to settle down,
I guess,

Is the creepy,
Old-fashioned term for it.

Pretty damn scary, huh?

Pretty damn scary.

Hmm.

I feel ridiculous.

You look great.

I look like a clydesdale.

You look like
You're comfortable.

People are staring.

Because you look great.

What a shame
Your grandfather isn't here.

He'd fall in love with me
All over again.

We came in
Through the storeroom.

Nope, this is it.

This is the antique store?

You can find some
Great stuff here.

This is ridiculous.

No one can run
A quality business like this.

This place is dusty
And disorganized,

And you can't possibly --

Oh, now,
That is gorgeous!

Look at the woodwork.
It's exquisite.

I wonder
If it has a mate.

Grandma, look at this.

It's got little flowers
All over it.

It's very pretty.

Is it something special?

Do you like it?
Yeah.

Then it's something special.

Lane: hi.

Lane, this is my grandma.
Grandma, this is my friend lane.

I've heard a lot
About you.

It's nice to meet you.
Can I talk to you for a sec?

Go. I have a lot
Of looking to do here.

Problem.
Hit me.

It's been a week,
And he hasn't called.

Henry?
He said he'd call.

Maybe he's been busy.

Maybe he has a girlfriend --
A perfect korean girl

That his parents will love
And approve of.

You are a perfect korean girl
That his parents will love.

No, they'd know.
Know what?

I listen to the wrong music

Wish I could go blond
Without being an idiot,

Or I'd take a whopper
Over kimchi.

You're going crazy.

So he doesn't like me,
He's not gonna call.

It's not the end of the world.
I'll live.

There's always college,

Unless my parents
Get their way and then it's,

"I take thee, jesus,
To be my lawful wedded husband."

With all due respect
To your fiance, henry will call.

No, he's not.

Then why did he talk
To you all night and follow you

And ask you to dance
Six times?

Was it six times?

He did not ask you to dance
Six times

Because you're a good dancer.

To tell you the truth,

As much as I love you,
You're not.

You are an embarrassment
To dancing.

Thank you.

Mrs. Kim:
That's mid-19th century.

Is it missing an inlay?

No! Perfect condition!

How much?
$3,500 for the pair.

You must be joking.
They're not that nice.

Not a better pair
On the east coast.

$2,000.
You're from hartford.

It hardly matters
Where I'm from.

These pieces are overpriced.

Look on the bottom.

Are they signed?

Look on the bottom!
They're signed.

How do I know
That's authentic?
You have my word.

A letter
Of authentication?
That too.

It's like watching
The williams sisters.

I won't take it.

Someone else will!
Eventually, maybe.

I can wait.
That's my last offer.

I'll think about it.

I'll waive the tax.

And throw in delivery.

[ sighs ]
We appreciate your business.

I like that woman!

And you know what?
I like these shoes!

You're becoming one of us.

Ha ha!

This way?
Yeah.

Great.
I love this street.

Hey.
May I help you?

Yeah, uh, I need to know
Where my room is.

Are you sure
You are in the right place?

Perhaps you want y.M.C.A.
Or the local bus station.

You speak english?
Do you have
A reservation?

I work here.
I do not think so.

You see,
We have standards.

And even if they were
Much, much lower,

You'd still be
Poor boy out of luck.

I'm the new handyman.

Oh, you know lorelai.

I dated her.
Don't spread it around.

It's not one
Of my shining moments.

You probably have so many
To pick from.
You're rude.

You've cut me to the quick.
Out of here.

I'll only be pushed
So far!

Obviously, it's down.
Rune, you made it.

Will you tell this guy
Who I am?
Uh, this is rune.

You know him?
He's gonna be
Our new handyman.

See? Handyman.
Be quiet.

Go build us
Another statue.

You hired this man?
Did you date him also?

What?!
No, I didn't date him.

I didn't date you.
It was one night.
You and him together?

I'll explain later.

Oh, I cannot wait.

Come with me. I'll show you
Where you're gonna stay.

Could you ask your bellboy
To grab my stuff?

I might have sprained
My shoulder on the way over.
Relax. I got it.

Great.

Uh! Jeez.

Move it, rune.

So, what do you think?

Well...I think
It's very nice.

Mom's office
Is right back there.

You have to see the dining room.

They got the chandeliers
From martha washington's house.

You spend
A lot of time here?

I work here couple
Of afternoons.

I help out
With special occasions.

They have
A lot of weddings here.

I wonder where mom is.

Don't bother.
I'm sure she's busy.

Oh, no,
She'd want to say hi.

Michel, where's mom?

Off with her boyfriend.
What boyfriend?

Small, dark,
Wanted in four states.

Well, do you know when
She's coming back?

Because my grandmother's here,
And we want to say hi.

Emily gilmore.
Michel gerard.

Enchante. De venez-vous?

Oh --paris.

J'adore paris.
Nous y allons chaque printemps.

Ah, oui,
Le printemps a paris.

Un cliche,
Mais pourtant...

C'est si vrai.

Well,
We'd better go find mom.

It's been a pleasure
Meeting you.
The pleasure is all mine.

What a charming man.

Oh, okay.

Mom. Hi.

Mom. Hi.

It's quite a place
You've got here.

It's not really my place.
I just work here.

I thought
You were gonna go antiquing.

We did,
And then we had lunch.

Where?

Teriyaki joe's.

You're kidding.
She picked.

You did?

It looked festive.

I can't picture you
At teriyaki joe's.

Or in jogging shoes.

What's up, working girl?

Rory decided that we should take
The grand tour of the town.

That meant walkin'. Don't mind,
I borrowed your socks.

Oh, I don't mind.

Wish I had a camera,
But I don't mind.

I'll show her the grounds.

On the way back,
Show her the gym.

Jump on the treadmill.
Stretch first.

I just love your mother.

The horses are up
On that hill,

And the tennis courts
Are back there.

It's certainly impressive.

And this is
My favorite place.

[ chuckles ]
The tool shed?

No, this is where
We used to live.

When mom and I moved here,
This was our apartment.

I know it looks small,
But it's really pretty. Come on.

We had our bed there,

And mom put up this curtain
Around the tub

So it looked like
A real bathroom.

And we would just
Sit outside at night

When the inn
Would have parties.

We'd just listen to music
And feed the ducks --

Grandma? Grandma, wait.
What's the matter?

Nothing.

Are you sick?
Is it the teriyaki?

I-I'm fine. It's just
Getting late. I have to go.

But...

Hey, do you mind?

What?

Oh, sorry.

Hey! Good!
You got my message.

Hail the glory
Of the answering machine.

Come on in.

I just developed
Some shots of the dragonfly

I think you're gonna love.

They can help inspire you
A little more.

Oh, great.

I've never been
In luke's apartment before.

How long have you two
Known each other?

Oh, years, but our relationship
Is strictly,

"Please, can I have coffee?"
"No!"

"Come on!"
"No, it makes you short."

Blah, blah, blah.

Then, let me give you
The grand tour.

This...Is it.

It's, uh, not how
I pictured it.

I mean, not that I have been
Picturing luke's apartment.

I haven't been picturing it
At all.

I know what you meant.

Nice touch.
Oh, those aren't mine.

You're kidding.

Frankly, a little
Too frilly for my taste.

Ahh! I am gonna give him
So much crap about that!

Have a seat.

Thanks.

Man, you guys are living
In pretty tight quarters here.

Well, this was originally
His dad's office,

It was never really meant
For anyone to live in.

Tell that to luke.

Do you think about moving
To a bigger place?

I don't think so.
No?

Oh, right, tight quarters,
Romantic. Hello, lorelai.

Well, I don't think romance
Has a lot to do with it.

I'm not sure I'm gonna be
In stars hollow much longer.

But I thought --
I know.

I can't seem
To make luke believe

That I really want to stay.

Did you tell him
Everything you told me?

Till I was blue
In the face.

Well, you just have to keep
Trying until he hears you.

Hey, I don't blame him.

I've given him no reason
To believe me.

I just hoped that magically
Somehow, he'd -- I don't know --

Forget that I'd skipped out
On him a million times before.

Have you told him
You're thinking of leaving?
Nope.

Are you going to?
I don't know.

I've been trying so hard
To make everything good.

But this town, it's like
Living under a microscope.

Everyone here is waiting
For you to screw up.

No, that's not true.

Miss patty?
Oh. Well, yeah.

I don't know how long I can
Stick around, waiting for luke

When I feel like
I don't have a friend.

If you can french-braid hair,
I'll be your friend.

Sorry.
Oh. Well, see ya.

I cannot find
Your pictures here.

They must be
In the bathroom.

Hmm. So do not want
To know why.

Listen, I know this is
So "Not cool" to ask,

But if the situation comes up
And it's not too weird,

A little word of encouragement
From you might help a lot.

Oh. Yeah, sure,
If it...Comes up.

Thanks.

What, you don't knock?

What are you doing here?

Rachel invited me --
To look at pictures.

Good.
And go through
Your underwear drawer.

Where is she?
Freezing your bra.

Where?
The bathroom.

Right.

It's a nice place
You have here.

Thank you.

I like the curtains.

Yeah, yeah,
Rachel...Picked them out.

Oh, she's got good taste.

Oh, hey.
Hi.

I just had to put something
In the safe.

I told him
About the underwear drawer.

And the baseball-cap
Fashion show?

Okay,
I'm gonna...Go now.

I think he's going to buy
A matching rug.

[ laughs ]

* life is unfair *

I like this song.
It makes me gloomy.

Gloomy's good.

Really gloomy.

Like,
Joy division gloomy?

Nick cave gloomy?
Robert smith gloomy?

Johnny cash gloomy.

So, kind of like
A san quentin-y,

"It's a long road home
And my horse just got shot,

But I still got my girl
By my side" gloomy?

You read my mind.

I'm deep
In a charlie parker gloomy.

Henry still
Hasn't called?
Oh, no, he called.

He did?
Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't talk to him.
He left a message.

I listened to it
8 1/2 times,

Then my mom came home,
And I had to erase it.

I was so panicked,
I broke it, which is better,

Because now all evidence that
A boy called me is in the trash.

8 1/2 times.

It was a good message
The first couple times.

Then I started parsing it
For subtext.

What did he say?

He said,
"Hey, lane, it's henry."

Not a good start.

How do you figure?

It's so gender-neutral.

It's how you start a
Conversation with a bowling pal.

Then he said, "It was fun
Meeting you the other night."

What?
He didn't say
Which night --

Like he didn't remember
Which night,

Like he's mixing me up with
Another girl from another night.

I guess, he thought
He was calling the hot blonde

He met at a hopped-up night
At balthazar's.

He's a 16-year-old
Korean boy.

Or so he led me to believe.

What's the bottom line here?

The bottom line is that
He wants me to call him back.

If I do that, then he's
Probably gonna ask me on a date.

If we go on a date,
It could lead to another date.

Then I'll have to introduce him
To my parents.

They're gonna like him
Because he's gonna be a doctor.

And then once that happens,
That's it. It'll be over.

He'll be hideous to me.

[ sighs ]

Now I'm a lou reed gloomy.

[ telephone rings ]

Hello?

Hello.
Do you have a minute?

Um...Sure.

I know
This will probably seem silly,

But I was wondering
What your favorite color is.

Oh. I don't
Really have one.

Blue, I guess.

Okay. What about flowers?
Do you like flowers?

Sure.
What do you like better?
Roses or lilies?

Mmm...Sunflowers.

Sunflowers it is.

Now, what about music --
'n sync or 98 degrees?

Ohhh...
'n sync or 98 degrees?

What kind of sick joke
Is this?

I don't think
I could choose.

What about that other group --
The backside boys?

You mean
The backstreet boys?

Yes, that's it.

Um...

I guess
If I really had to choose,

I'd say 'n sync.
Wonderful.

Are you writing this down?

Maybe.
What for?

You'll see.

I'm looking forward to dinner
On friday.

O-kay. Yeah, me too. Bye.

Bye-bye.

What was that?

Sounded like some sick take
On the gallup survey.

I gotta go.
Call him.

I already left him
A message.

He's probably parsing it
Right now.

I'm sure.

Hey.
Hey.

Want some coffee?

Oh. Yeah.
Coffee would be great.

Thanks.
Watch the lid there.

Yeah.

Wow, it really looks different
From back here, you know?

All this is yours,
As far as the eye can see.

Yes, it's quite an empire
I've built for myself.

I'm thinking of
Conquering the flower shop

And expanding the freezer.

I didn't mean to kick you
Out of your apartment.

Oh, you didn't.
Well,
You left pretty fast.

You guys looked like you were
Talking girl talk, so...

What's girl talk?

You know --
Pantyhose, nail polish.

Curtains.
Yes, that stuff.

[ laughs ]

You didn't like me
Being up there?

No big deal.

So...

This is
The fascinating storage area

Where fascinating acts
Of storage take place.

Yep, this is it.

Some good-looking pickles.

What are you doing?

I'm admiring your pickles.

You shouldn't be in here.
Why not?

My insurance covers
Only me.

That's not true.
You're kidding, right?

It's not safe.
Something might fall.

You don't like me hanging out
With rachel, do you?

Oh, come on! You can hang out
With anybody you want.

Not my question.

Well, that's my answer.

Well...We're 8.

Just a friendly piece
Of advice --

Don't get too attached
To her.

She's got
An interesting habit

Of getting bored
And then leaving --

Usually without saying goodbye.

People break habits.

Not often.

So you're just convinced
That's what she's gonna do.

I'll bet you
That's exactly what she does.

Let's say
It is what she does.

Don't you think there's
A possibility

If rachel leaves
Stars hollow this time,

It's because she thinks
You don't want her to stay?

Are you guys
Talking about me?

No.

Yes.

I don't mind
You hanging out with her,

But you will not
Talk about me.

Why? It's fun.

We wear plaid,
Take turns not shaving.

There will be no
Luke talk, period.

Do you want to know
What I think?

Nope.
Are you sure?

If you're gonna tell me,
At least help me unload.

Can I use
The fun cutter thingy?

Not if you call it
"The fun cutter thingy."

Please?
Cut the box,
Not your hand.

Good tip.
You should teach.

Ha! Fun!
Talk.

I don't know
What's going on in rachel's head

Because I'm not a vulcan,
From the way she talks about you

The way she smiles,

I'm pretty sure
She's serious about staying.

Let me guess -- rachel told you
She wanted to put down roots,

That she's serious this time,
That she's tired of the road,

And realizes what's lacking
In her nomadic existence.

She didn't use the phrase
"Nomadic existence,"

Basically, that's what she said.

I've heard the speech.
I know the speech by heart.

I think she means it.
You don't know her.

I-I don't,
But she seems sincere.

How do you know?

Her nose didn't grow.

Why are you taking
Her side?
I'm not.

It sounds like
You're taking her side.

Well, wash out your ears.

You're practically
Pushing her on me.

I-I just want you
To be happy.

You know
What makes me happy?

I just know that you've been
Carrying a torch for her

For a long time.

I have not been
Carrying a torch for her.

Well, you wanted this
To happen.

How do you know
What I wanted?

Didn't you?

Yeah, I guess.

Okay.

So here it is --
Right in front of you.

Just take it.

Take the plunge.
She could be ready.

Just jump in
And believe her.

Unless, you know...

There's some other reason
You don't want to.

Like what?

Like...

I don't know.

There's no other reason.

Okay. Well, fine.
Then there's no other reason.

I'll think about it.
Okay.

Well...Thanks for letting me
Borrow your thingy.

You're welcome.

I'll see you later, luke.

Lorelai: she asked
If you like the backstreet boys?

Except she called them
"Backside boys."

Ha! That is high comedy.

What inspired that woman?

I don't know.
It was weird.

This sudden interest
In pop music...

I sat her down to listen
To a prince song once,

And she looked like
She was having a stroke.

Wait a minute --
I know what she's doing.

She's trying to be your pal now.
Ohh! That sneak.

You spend one day together,

She wants to know
All about you.

She's picturing you guys
Chatting about boys

And painting
Each other's toenails.

[ clears throat ]

Oh, hey, kirk.
Are you getting a cold?

You know, you should try
That dyna-meda-chema-themytol.

Knocks it right out.

Don't drive
Your forklift, though,

'cause it'll make you drowsy.

Rory: oh, wow.

When's the last time you think
Luke's been to a movie?

I think the guy had to
Crank the projector by hand.

Do you mind?
The movie
Hasn't even started.

I like to have silence in order
To cleanse my mental palate

And achieve calm before enjoying
A motion picture.

Oh, you got that
Out of a book.

[ chuckles ]

Luke looks happy,
Doesn't he?

Yeah, he looks happy.

And they seem really
Right together, don't they?

Just right.
Good, good.
He deserves it.

So I did the right thing
By butting in.

You butted in
For all the right reasons.

You were concerned
About a friend.

[ eerie music plays ]

So, if rachel
Turns out to be an evil fembot

And murders luke in his sleep,
I'm not responsible, am I?

Only in
An intergalactic court.

Good.

Rachel seems really great,
Doesn't--

You are now officially
Disturbing not just me,

But every person
In this theater.

Kirk, you're the only one
Who's disturbed.

[ cell phone plays song ]

[ gasps ]
Shhhh!

Hello?
Shhhh!

[ song continues ]

[ sighs ]

Hello?

Damn it!

[ laughs ]

[ doorbell rings ]

Hello, hello, hello!

Wow! Mom, hi.
Uh, check the rubbing alcohol.

How was the drive?

The drive was fine.

The foyer looks great.

I have a surprise.

The rest of the house
Ran away?
No.

Rory, come with me.

Okay. So...
I'll follow you, then.

Great.

Voila!

Oh...My.

Um, grandma...
What is this?

This is your room.

Since you've been spending
So much time here,

I thought you should have
A special place.

You didn't
Have to do this.

Do you like it?

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Do you see
The 'n sync poster?

Thank you, grandma.

You're welcome,
Sweetheart.

Come on. Let's go downstairs and
See if dinner's ready.

You coming?

You bought her cosmogirl.

Well, the young girls
Enjoy the articles.

You bought boy-band posters
And "Hello kitty" notepads.

A lovely young girl at the store
Helped me pick them out.

You filled the room
With sunflowers.

Rory likes sunflowers.

[ scoffs ]

I know
Rory likes sunflowers.

What is the matter,
Lorelai?

Nothing. I don't know. It's just
A little weird, that's all.

Why is it weird?

I don't know. It's not
Like you bought her a car.

By the way, don't.

It's, uh, a room, and...

You know, you're right.
It's nice.

I'm sorry.
I'm just being silly.

Maybe you don't like that
She has a place away from you --

Someplace
That's just her own.

I said I was fine.

Or maybe it's because
It's so large and spacious

And has four solid walls
Around the bathtub.

Excuse me?

It might not be exciting
Or bohemian,

But it doesn't have shovels
Propped up against the sofa,

Now, does it?

I missed the checkered flag.
When did the argument start?

Is it because
It's not a shack?

Or is it the proximity to me
That's making it uncomfortable?

You hated us that much?!
What?

You had to take
That little girl away.

That was bad enough.
But to that?!

To live there in a shed,
Like a hobo?!

Who uses the word "Hobo"
Anymore?

I saw that horrible little pit
You so proudly ran to!

I saw what you chose
Over your own family!

You would've lived in the
Gutter, in a cardboard box,

As long as you didn't
Have to be near us.

Isn't that true, lorelai?!

Mom, I was very young...

And I was very unhappy...

And I needed to be someplace
That wasn't here.

[ voice breaking ]
Excuse me.

[ sighs ]

You're awfully quiet.
I am?

You hardly said anything
At dinner.

I was chewing.
You didn't say anything
On the ride home.

I was concentrating.
I feel I've gotten sloppy

With this whole "10:00 and 2:00
Hand position" thing.

The other day, I caught myself
Doing a 9:00 and 4:00.

If uncorrected, that'll lead to
A 6:00 and 12:00

Or, worse,
An 8:00 and 11:00,

Which is dangerous
And damn uncomfortable.

Talk, please.

[ sighs ]

I...Just wish sometimes

That certain things
Could be different.

Like what?

Like, um...

Wouldn't it be great
If once, just once,

I could make my mother
Hear me --

I mean, really hear me, even
If it was just for one second.

Are you talking about
The room?

The room, the potting shed,
My entire life after age 6.

It's my fault.

How is it your fault?

I shouldn't have
Taken her there.

I thought
If she saw how we lived

And how pretty it was
With the lake and the swans...

That she'd do
A happy dance?

That she'd feel included,
And then, maybe...

The whole
"Me running away" thing

Wouldn't be
Such a big deal?

Oh, honey.

Me running away from them
Is always gonna be a big deal.

There is nothing you can do
To change that.

[ sighs ]

Can I ask you a question?
Yes, I would date
Steven tyler.

Can I ask a question whose
Answer wouldn't horrify me?

Oh, go ahead.

You think you and grandma
Will ever

Talk about everything
You've gone through?

No.

You didn't even
Consider it.
Sorry.

No.
Why?

Because
It would just end badly.
It doesn't have to.

It would be like
"Saving private ryan."

At least those guys
Were in france.

You've never tried.
That's not true.
I have tried.

I have tried my whole life.

But my mother and I,
We speak a different language.

I talk,
I think I'm being clear,

And all she hears is
"Blah, blah, blah, ginger."

If you won't talk
And she won't listen,

Then how is anything
Ever gonna change?

I don't know.

Thanks.

Don't tell me
You're closed.

Would it change the outcome
If I did?

No.
Two coffees.

Any pie
To go with that?

Oh, pie!

We just had cake
At grandma's.

That was crabby cake.
Let's have happy pie.

Whatever you want,
As long as there's coffee.
I'll put on
A fresh pot.

Hey, listen,
I just want to say thanks.

Oh, for what?

For whatever it was
You said to luke the other day.

It was no big deal.

No, it was a very big deal.

I was sitting upstairs,
And suddenly, he comes in,

Empties out his sock drawer,
And gives it to me.

Oh, that's great!
You got a drawer!

And a set of keys.

You can put the keys
In the drawer.

He's accepting it.
He's believing it.

And it's all
Because of you.

Actually,
It's because of you.

I'm not gonna screw it up
This time.

I know you won't.

Well, I owe you one.

So, are you gonna be in
Stars hollow for a while, then?

Yeah. Quite a while.

Wow, that's great.
Yeah.

You want any ice cream
With that pie?

I did get you a drawer.

If I threw in hot fudge,

Think you could weasel
Half the closet?

I'll see what I can do.
Thank you.

Here.
Ah, thanks.

Sure.

Huh.

Does it taste different
To you?

Yeah.

It does.

So, what do you think?

It's got a great view.

Yeah.
And good highway access.

I love that window
Back in the...

Library? Oh, no -- lobby.
No, uh...Bathroom?

I'd get that decided
Before you open.

There's absolutely
No kitchen space here!

How're we supposed to open
Bed and breakfast

When there's no place
To cook breakfast?

Then it's just a bed.
We'll have to charge half price.

We'll build
A new kitchen, sookie.

I'll need
Plenty of ventilation

And an area for an outdoor
Fireplace for barbecues.

Plus storage.

Where did these people
Put anything?!

Ooh! And a pantry.
A-and a canning room.

I'd love to smoke
Our own meats.

I don't know
If this is gonna work.

I may have to do
Some floor plans.

Where is that plumbing?

Wow. Your own inn.
Cool, huh?

It's gonna be
A really big job.
Yeah.

Well, maybe I'll get rune
To manage the place for me.

How's he doing?

He put a tip jar
On the reservation desk.

Michel tried to beat him
With the reservation book.

How did that go?

Rune got away.
Really?

Michel can't run in new shoes.

How long you think
Before you guys own this place?

Oh, sweetie, it's going to be
A very, very, very long time.

Do you think
It'll still be here?

Well --

I think we got a shot.

[theme music]
