[ birds chirping ]

What?
Nothing.

Are you tilting?
No.

I think you're tilting.
I'm not tilting.

Wanna hold on to my purse?
Might even you out.

Stop any time you like.
What are you doing?

Gonna put a pen on your head
And see if it rolls off.

Okay. This is not how
You console the injured.

You're right. I'm sorry.
What about this?

"The little locksmith."

And I got it at the bookstore --
Paid full price.

Thank you.
You're welcome.
Feel better?

I do.
Good.

Now can I put a pen
On top of your head?
No.

Mom...
Oh, good. Hold still.

Forget the pen.
Drat.

When are you gonna tell me what
Happened between you and luke?

Was it bad? I'm sure it was bad,
But how bad's bad?

It was nothing.

Really?

Look, I was upset,
He was upset,

We had a thing, it's over,
We're fine.

A thing?
A tiny thing

A tiny thing?
A thinglet
If you will.

You guys don't have
Thinglets very often.

Oh, no.
Everybody has thinglets.

Part of being grown up.

What did he say?
What did you say?
Rory, please.

Well, okay, fine.
Just answer me this --

We're on our way
To luke's?
Right.

When we're there,
Will we get in?

Of course.
Will we get served?

Yes!
Will we get coffee?

Maybe.
Refills?

Eventually.
Free refills?

About a month. Okay.

The thinglet has grown
Into a thing.

Rory, luke and I
Have fought before.

God knows we'll fight again.
But it's over. It's history.

We'll go in,
He'll be crabby,

I'll be adorable,
He'll forget everything,

And that, as they say,
Will be...That.

Okay.

Hey, is there a line?
Closed.

What?
It's closed.

Luke's is closed?
Luke's is never closed.

I know.
Are you sure it's closed?

I read the sign
And then tried the door

In case it was
Some elaborate ruse.

Designed to keep
Only you out?

There's precedent.
Well, luke's gone fishing.

That's great.
It is.

He works hard,
Needed a break and took it.

I think it's good,
Healthy.
For who?

I have blood-sugar issues.

Mom.
Don't.

It's because --
No, it isn't.

But he never --
Well, now he did.

But --
Rory, he took a trip.

Don't read
Anything into it.

It's because of
The other night.
No. It isn't.

Even if it is, it'll go away.
Everything will be fine.

Speak for yourself. I left
My wallet in there yesterday.

[ knock on door ]

* 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 *

Why are we standing here?

'cause the sign says,
"Wait to be seated."

Yeah, but we're not
Automatons.

We are rule breakers,

And there are, like,
50 open tables.

You're exaggerating.

1, 2, 3, 4, 50 -- no,
I'm not.

I'm sure someone
Will help us soon.

We should be eating.
I'm hungry.

This is crazy. Don't
They want us eating?

Isn't that the point
Of the hungry diner --

To feed the hungry diner?

Or is it to keep
The hungry diner hungry,

Then they should call
It "The eternally hungry diner

'cause you're not getting
Any food here, loser"?

That would be quite a sign.

I'm giving one of these
Paper-top turkeyheads

Three seconds to seat us,
Or I'm gonna --
Two?

Yes, please.
You're gonna what?

You said you're doing something
If somebody didn't help us.

I did?
Yes, you did.

Then the waitress came.
You never finished saying.

We gotta get some food into you.
You're imagining things.

What were you gonna do?
Shh. You're getting screwy.

Mom.
I'm not your mom.
Do you need help?

Oh, my god.
How's this?

It's, uh, perfect. Thanks.
Hi. Can I bring you
Some coffee?

To start and finish.
You need a little pick-me-up?

Do I?
Oh. Back in a jiff.

When she comes back, we're gonna
Grab and hold her down.

Tell her ugly things
About the world.

Get your daughter to help
You out with your plan.

Okay, now. Make nice.

Oh, how convenient --

They've pictures
Of all the food

If you've lived in a cave
For the last 50 years.

And have no idea what a stack
Of pancakes looks like.

Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry.
Yes, sweety?

What are the tiny cups for?
They're coffee cups.
For coffee.

What, are you running out
Or something?
I'm sorry?

Never mind. Listen, we are
Very sleepy this morning,

So would you happen to have
Something in a larger size --

Say, a mug, a tureen,
A small bowl of some kind?

A coffee bowl?
Yes, a coffee bowl.

Bring two, please.
We don't have
Coffee bowls. I'm sorry.

Okay. Well, then would
You mind bringing,

Two? Three?
Three's good.

Yeah. Three of these cute little
Cuppy things,

Oh, and could you leave
The pot in the meantime?

Uh-huh.

Well, it looks like coffee,
Smells like coffee.

The comparison stops there.
This sucks.

Just a lot of stuff
So you can't taste it.

How will fit three sugars
Into barbie's dream cup here?

It'll be all sugar,
No coffee.

You might prefer it that way.
Oh, man.

Well, well, well.

What?

I'll be right back.

So...What's new for fall?

I hear the sailor suit
Is hot, hot, hot.

What are you doing here?

Luke's is closed.

By the health inspector,
No doubt.

So, this is where you have
Your breakfast, huh?

Until this morning, yes.
How's the grub?

They make an excellent
Egg-white omelet, no oil.

Really?
They use the spray.
Can you leave now?

How come you never told
About this place?

Then you might
Actually eat here,

There'd be no corner
Of my life

Free of your
Incessant scrutiny.

What are you doing
With the fork?

Can I have a bite?
What?

Just a taste.

Get away from me.

Oh, michel, don't go.
Come eat with us.

You'd like that,
Wouldn't you?

No, not really.
Good. It's a date.

You, me, here tomorrow?
Never!

You know what? I'm beginning
To like this place.

I'm glad. Mom, I need
To ask you a favor.
Ask away.

Need you to get me
Out of dinner tonight.

Oh, rory --
Dean's coming home.

He doesn't know
About the accident.

If I'm not there
The second he gets home,

Then someone's gonna tell him,
And that would be...

Horrible. I agree.
Yes.

I really hate
To ask you this.

Oh, forget about it.
Really?

Yeah, absolutely.
Make things right with dean.

I really appreciate this.
No problem.

Gives me a little time
To work on my "Why rory's

Wearing a cast" story
For your grandparents.

Yeah? What have
You got so far?
Really big bees.

Huh. Well, it's good
You've got the time.

Yeah, it is.

I'm so sorry rory
Isn't feeling well.

Is it that flu
That's been going around?

Oh, yes, it is.

Horrible strain.

Bunny carlington munchausen

Has been bedridden for
Two straight weeks.

It must wipe her out
Just toting that name around.

Should I take
A drink in to richard?

I hate to disturb
While he's working.

He's working -- like,
Work working?
That's right.

His articles of incorporation
Arrived last week.

He's rented an office.

Your father's now president
And c.E.O. Of the gilmore group,

An international insurance
Consulting firm.

Wow, that's great.

So, um, what's the --
Like, how does --

What's his job?

He's a consultant.
Meaning?

Your father is an international
Insurance consultant.

Yeah, yeah, but what exactly
Does that mean?

He consults on matters relating
To international insurance.

When dad goes to his new office,
He sits down, and he...

Consults with international
Clients on insurance matters.

I don't know why we're not
Opening for rickles.

Damn it!

Richard, are you alright?

No, I am not alright.

That was margie just now
On the phone.

Oh, how is she?
Who is she?

You know
Who margie is.

She's been
Your father's secretary

Since you were a child.
Oh, largie margie.

Very clever when you're 6.

In answer to your question,
Emily, margie is well --

So well that she has decided

Not to join me
In my new business.

What?
She's staying
With the old firm.

But you were the only reason
She had a job at that firm.

I went to great pains to remind
Her of just that.

Well, this is simply
Unacceptable.

You and that rotund ingrate
Had an agreement.

There was an agreement?
In writing?

Not in writing per se,

But she helped me procure
My new office.

She arranged to have
All my things sent over.

All that was left was for her
To accept my formal offer --

A very generous one,
If I may say.

She just turned you down?

She had the gall
To counteroffer.

She kept insisting that I match
Her current salary.

Dad, you weren't
Even offering to match

The poor woman's salary?

Oh, lorelai, the gilmore group
Is a fledgling enterprise.

I can't afford to pay margie
Her full salary right away.

But after 20 years, where is
The woman's sense of loyalty?

Oh, gee, I don't know.

Maybe with the company
That's keeping her

From having to stand in line
For government cheese.

I'm afraid I don't know
How to proceed.

Of course, you don't.
I counted on this.

Of course you had.
Perhaps I should reconsider
Going forward.

That may be best.
Excuse me?

I can't do it
Without margie.

No one would expect you to.
You can't be serious.

Can I get out
Of my lease?
What?

You should look into
That immediately, richard.

Whoo, whoo, whoo.

There is a baby here desperately
In need of some bathwater.

What's she saying, emily?
What're you saying, lorelai?

I'm just saying there are
Other options to consider.

Like what?
Like hire another secretary.

Oh, no. Your father's had
Other secretaries.

Three, in fact -- each one worse
Than the previous one.

Until margie.
Margie was a gem.

Margie did everything for him.

Yes, but, dad,

Thereare plenty of other
Margies out there

Dying to be in that kind
Of codependent relationship

With you. You'll find one.
Trust me.

She might not be named margie,
But if you pay her enough,

You can call her
Whatever you want.

I don't have time to find
Someone new.

The office is a disaster.
Everything is in boxes.

I don't know where anything is
Or how anything works --

The computers, the phones,
Even my office chair.

Okay, dad,
I'll tell you what --

Tomorrow afternoon
After my business class,

I'll come to your office,
And we'll get you unpacked.

We'll get you settled and
We'll find you someone

As good as margie
Or at least cheaper.

Hate to see you
Waste your time.

I'll blindfold you then.
I don't know. I --

Dad, there's another margie
Out there, honest.

Just give it a chance.

An office without margie.
Seems inconceivable.

Dream with me here, folks.

[ classical music ]

[ vehicle approaching ]

Hey.
Hey.

Hi, rory.

What happened?
What did you do to your arm?

Here.

What is this?
Just read it.

What's going on?
How'd you hurt your arm?

It's all in the letter.
But --

Read.

Well, I love you, too.

Good. Now just hold on
To that feeling for a minute.

Why?
Just...

Read. Alright,
I'm reading.

[ sighs ]

What?

Keep going.

What?!
Turn it over.

What?!
Go on.

You have, like, three
More "Whats" ahead of you.

It gets better at the end.

I'll just stand here
Until you get there.

[ sighs ]

Is he really gone?

Yes.

Okay.
[ sighs ]

Wanna come in?

What?

You can stay for dinner.
My mom's making a roast.

You like roast, right?

Um...Yeah, I like roast.

Okay. Come on.

And then we just watched tv.

Oh, you mean you "Watched tv"?
Use the air quotes, sweetie.

His little sister was there.
Oh. So you watched tv. Go on.

And then he walked me home.

That's it?
That's it.

Did he kiss you
Goodnight?
Yep.

He didn't ask about
The other night?
Nope.

About the car?
Not once.

And jess?
Just if he was
Really gone.

That was it.
Wow.

I thought he'd yell
And scream.

I thought he'd wanna break up.
Instead, he gave me his corn.

He did? When?
At dinner.

So,
You were already eating.

It wasn't just an
Out-of-the-blue

"And I give you
My corn." okay. Got it.

Maybe it hasn't sunk in.
Maybe he'll be mad tomorrow.

Maybe dean's even more terrific
Than we thought.

It's not covering
The whole cast.

Relax. I'm not finished.

You really think
He's okay?

Sounds like it.

If the situation
Were reversed,

I don't think
I'd be okay.

If the situation
Was reversed,

I don't think dean would
Let jess drive his car.

I guess I should just be
Grateful, then?

Grateful, absolutely.
What are these?

These are resumes for
Your grandpa's new secretary.

There are, like,
A hundred of them.

Yes, the world is
Full of eager, young people

Waiting to have the life sucked
Out of them by richard gilmore.

Okay. I'm finished.
What do you think of that?

If we're gazelles,
We'd be the first ones

Eaten at the watering hole.

Be thankful
We're not gazelles.

Now go shower.
You're starting to look like

You're starring
In an independent film.

Hey...

Yeah?
Dean knows you, hon.

He knows you wouldn't do
Anything to hurt him.

So, you're lucky.
Just focus on that.

Jess is gone.
Now you guys can start over.

Okay.
And, uh, hey.

Even though the box
Says it's safe,

Keep your arm
Out of the microwave

For at least a week.

[ sighs ]

Dad?

Oh, come in, come in!

So, let me guess --

The wu-tang clan
Had the office before you.

Yeah, it's a bit
Disheveled, I know.

Wow, it's freezing in here.

Yes, it has been
Since I moved in.

Oh. Did you try adjusting
The thermostat?

Yes. That only seemed
To make it angry.

You've been nanuking it
This whole time --

Just sending out for
Whale blubber and mukluks?

Wouldn't touch that
If I were you.

You don't know what you're do --

Ahh. The wind done gone.

So it would seem,
For the moment.

I turned it off.
Let me show you.

[ telephone rings ]
Wanna to get that?

No, they've already hung up.

Okay. Next time

Hold an envelope up to
Your head before you do that.

It's been
Doing it all day.

The phone rings once,
And then poof -- they're gone.

Oh, that's because your
Messages are being forwarded

To your voice mail.
See where it says voice mail?

How could that happen?

I don't know.
Where's your manual?

Manual, manual.

Came with the phone.
Probably with a picture on it.

Aha! Look what I found

Under your copper ball glued
To the wood thing here.

No, it's brass -- one of
The firm's parting gifts

As they nudged me
Into retirement.

So in addition
To being heavy and ugly,

It's also insulting.
Quite.

Here you go.
That should work.

Wanna call me
From your office?
This is my office.

Whose office is that?
Ah, yes -- excellent idea.

[ telephone rings ]

That isn't me calling.

Didn't think so.
Should I get that?

Yes, please.

Um, hello, the gilmore group.

Mr. Henson. Why, yes,
He just walked out.

May I take
A message? Uh-huh.

Um, how are you spelling
"Larry"?

Oh, traditionally -- great.

Okay. Thank you for calling.
Bye-bye.

Where the hell are your pens?

Watch your language,
Young lady.

What did larry want?

He wanted to know
Where your pens are.
Lorelai.

He wants you to call him.

Where are
The office supplies?

I haven't gotten around
To that yet.

Before anything else can happen,
You need pens, you need paper --

You need everything else,
Don't you, especially

I might wanna wash my hand
At some point?

Where does one get
These things?

Where did you
Used to get them?

From margie.
From margie.

I saw that coming.
Alright. Well, let's go.

Good lord, this place
Goes on forever.

No, it goes on until
Chair and floor mats,

If you're not careful,
You'll loop back around

Into inks, toners and
Be here all day. Stay close.

Here's a seat in
The cart if you want a ride.

I'll pass.
Look at the scale of this place.

I mean, no one needs all these
Options. It's oppressive.

Hundreds of paper clips in every
Conceivable color and size.

Now, who on earth
Would buy these things?

We would.

What's the first thing you do

When you get to the office
In the morning?

Uh, well, let's see.

I return the calls from asia
First.

Right, you make coffee,
So you'll need a coffee maker.

Let's see -- ugly, crappy,
German -- ooh, pretty!

Oh, well, as long
As it's pretty --

Why is everything worth having
Just out of reach?

Is there no one here
Whose job it is

To actually assist
Paying customers?!

No. That's how they can afford
To sell this baby for 40% off.

40% off?
I had no idea.

Nicely done, dad.
You won't be sorry.

It's suddenly becoming clear
To me that I'm an old man.

I don't recognize
Half the whatsits

And doodads in here.

Here we have an
Assortment of magic sticks,

When you press down on
Paper, writing comes out.

I know what pens are.

Good. You pick out
Your favorites,

And I'll try to figure how to
Explain liquid paper to you.

Oh, you're cute.

I can't possibly use
All of those.

You won't.
You'll lose half of them.

Then you'll be really happy to
Have the ones you've left.

Now, paper...

Alright. This ought to
Do nicely for now.

Going into business
For two weeks?

You're building an empire for
Crying out loud.

Think big, gilmore!

Plus, if you get the box,
It's cheaper.

Say, how do you happen
To know all of this?

It's how we do it at the inn.
Spend money to make money.

Little tip
From me to you.
Good point.

What else?
I'd strongly
Recommend a stapler.

Stapler?

Some extra staples.
Ah, I'm way ahead of you.

Good man.
Post-its.

My goodness, look
At all the post-its.

I had no idea they came in
So many shapes and colors.

I'm gonna get a 12-pack
For myself in various hues.

Wise move.
And one for emily.

I've seen her post notes
On her vanity mirror

To remind her
Of various activities.

She'll think it's christmas.

Done. Now, what else
Is on the hit parade?

It might be controversial,
But I was thinking of

A 3-hole punch
If we can find one.

I think we're both
Up to the challenge.

Shall we?

Dawn powell?
I've never heard of her.

Nobody has, which is a shame,

Because she wrote
16 amazing novels, 9 plays,

There are some who claim
That it was powell

Who made the jokes that
Dorothy parker got credit for.

Blasphemy.
I know.

Trying not to hold it
Against dawn until I've proof

That she's involved with the
Whole smear campaign.

Look -- they finally took
The boards off the windows.

Wonder
What it's gonna be.

I don't know.
What's that in the corner?

I think it's a bass.
It's a bass!

And, look, there are guitars
On the wall!

It's a music shop!

That's much better than the
Ceramic circus store we thought.

Can't believe stars hollow
Has taken its first steps

Toward being cool. Wonder
How soon it's gonna open.

You keep pushing on the glass,
Much sooner than anticipated.

Hey, hold on a sec.
Why? What's wrong?

Nothing.
I'll be right back.

Taylor...

Rory, hello.

Hi. Listen,
I just wanted to --

Oh, no.
Just look at that arm.

It's fine, really.

Does it hurt?
No, not much.

Hope you're not getting
Addicted to painkillers

Like those
Hollywood people do.

Um, I'm not.
Don't worry.

Good, because pain is your
Body's way of saying,

"I'm not okay now,
But I will be soon."

I'll remember that.

You don't wanna shut
Your body up too soon.

That's called "Death."
Right.

Taylor, listen, I just
Wanted to apologize to you.

About what?
About the other night.

My car hit the bench that had
Your brand-new doose's market

Sign on it. I know
How much it meant to you.

I'm so sorry
That it was ruined.

Oh, well,
It wasn't your fault.

But my car hit the bench.

Your car hit the bench because
That jess was driving.

Oh, well, yeah, but --

That boy is a walking
Natural disaster.

They should name
A tornado after him.

But he didn't cause it,
Taylor.

You don't have
To explain a thing to me.

I know that
There's no way

That you would be involved
In something like that

If it weren't for that
Sal mineo wannabe.

Believe me, chachi and chachi
Alone will be held responsible

For that incident.
Okay?

Good. Now, take a peach.

Thanks.

So, is he mad?

No, not at me.

Well, that's good.

Yeah, that's good.

My pager number,

A partial list of references.

I'll hang on to this,
But as I said before,

We just opened,
I'm not really looking

To hire anybody right now.

I am licensed to carry
A gun, if that will help.

You have no idea how much.

Can I help you?
Oh, no. Thank you.

Was just looking.
We like looking.

It's the touching
We're a little iffy on.

Actually, I was just going --
[ gasps ]

That probably would have been
Construed as touching, huh?

Yes.
Right.

Oh, my.

That's a dw drum set
With zildjian cymbals.

It's beautiful.

You play?
No. I wish.

Sit.
What?

Sit, see how it feels.
I couldn't.

Why, your legs don't bend?
No, they bend.

Okay. If they bend,
Then bend them.

Well, okay.

This is a good stool.
Yes, it is.

You can't sit down on a
Drum set without your sticks.

Right, 'cause that would be
Stupid.

Remember, no touching.

Right.

Well, granted, the european
Insurance market

Still needs
Some restructuring,

But it's growing
At a remarkable rate.

What am I basing it on?

Clive, surely you've seen
The latest eurostat.

Yes, I've got it
Right in front of me.

Eurostat.

Ah, yes, here it is.

Let's see -- uh,
The highest contributions

In absolute terms were
Reached in the united kingdom,

Germany, and the netherlands.

Uh-huh. Well, yes,
I would have to look up

Those specific coding
And reference numbers.

Uh-huh. Yes, I've got them
Right here.

Mm-hm. For the year 2001...

Uh, here they are.

[ telephone rings ]
Aah, yes.

You interested
In netherlands?

That market's
Gonna go through the roof.

Gilmore group.
May I help you?

No, marge. He doesn't
Work for the company anymore.

I called to schedule
The d.S.L. Appointment.

Well, no. No.

We really need the line
Installed today.

It's just awful
Being without it.

Uh-huh. Okay, well, um,

If you can make it
Before 5:00,

Everything's good, but
Any later than that won't work

Because the cable-modem people
Are dropping by about 5:05.

Thank you. That's great.
Okay, bye-bye.

They'll be here
In 20 minutes.

I must say, I'm impressed.

Well, I'm no margie.
Oh, who needs her?

Speaking of which.
What's all this?

The secretarial candidates
For tomorrow's interviews.

I've looked through them
Pretty carefully. I think

Somewhere in there is a margie
For the new millennium.

[ telephone rings ]
I'll get it.

No. Get to know your new
Secretary. I don't mind.

Gilmore group.

Yes. Richard gilmore, please.

[ imitating bimbo ]
Oh, um, certainly.

May I ask who's calling?

Emily gilmore.

And does he know
What this is about?

I hope so. I'm his wife.
Oh.

But richard didn't say anything
About being married.

What?!
[ normal voice ]
Mom, relax. It's me.

Lorelai?
Yes.

Well, you're crude
And unprofessional.

I'd like that on my tombstone.
Now, what can I do for you?

I'm throwing a cocktail party
At the office on friday

To help launch
The new business.

Now, the caterers will be
Arriving at 3:00 sharp

To set up, so --

Are you writing this?
You should be writing.

I'm scribbling furiously.

Margie always
Wrote everything down.

So no friday night dinner?

Means we'll see you both
At the party.

Bye.

Oh, rory, sweetie,
Hold on there, baby!

Hey, babette.
Is everything okay?

I should be asking you
That question.

Come here.
Let me see that arm.

Oh, you poor little thing.
How you doing, huh?

I'm doing fine.

Oh, look at you
Being brave like that

After all you been through.

Jeez. It's so hard being
A woman, isn't it?
I guess.

You got your morals
And your standards

And your good common sense,
Then bam -- you meet some guy,

All that goes
Right out the window.
But--

For every good woman,
There's a dirty, little wolf

Just ready to lead her astray.
You can't help it.

He's got the eyes,
The chin, chest hair

You could carpet
Your dining room with --

What's a woman to do?

We're not made of steel,
For god's sake.

Babette --
I was in a cult once.
Did I tell you that?

No.
I met this guy once --

Gorgeous, tan, looked
Just like mickey hargitay.

We had coffee.
He gave me a pamphlet.

Next thing you know,
I'm wearing a muumuu,

Playing a tambourine, jumping
Up and down at the airport!

I really
Have to get inside.

Sure, hon.
Go take good care of yourself.

And don't be embarrassed, toots.
This has happened to all of us.

Mom, are you here?!

[ beep ]

Hey, you, it's me.
I'm gonna be home late today --

Still trying to find grandpa
A margie.

Order pizza.
Money's under the rabbi.

Hope your arm's feeling
Okay, sweets. Bye-bye.

[ beep ]

[ hora plays ]

[ soda can opening ]

[ telephone rings ]

Hello?
I have found my calling.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about my future,
My path, my destiny,

My thing, my scene, my bag.

I'm talking about the number-one
Item on my cosmic to-do list.

Which is?
I'm gonna be a drummer!

You're kidding.
I went into that new
Music store today.

I don't know why I went in.

Something told me, "Lane kim,
There's something in there

That you need to see,"
There it was.

Red and shiny,
So excited that I can't breathe.

That's amazing.
I know.

How're you gonna
Do this?
Don't know.

How're you
Gonna buy it?
Don't know.

If you do buy,
Where're you playing it?

I don't know any of this
I'll figure something out.

Because I am keith moon.
I am neil peart.

I am rick allen,
With and without the arm,

Because I am rock 'n' roll,
Baby!

I'll call you later.

[ singing in korean ]

When she opened
Her own office,

She asked me to join
As executive assistant,

And office manager which
Was a terrific opportunity.

I bet. How so?

I built that office and
Its staff from the ground up

And develop a system
From scratch.

Wow. So, you have a system.

Which helped double productivity
And billing hours,

But then she got pregnant,
And, well, here we are.

Wow. Story of my life --
Literally.

Well, uh, thank you
For coming in,

Uh...Karen.

Uh, we'll let you know
Once we make our decision.

Thank you, mr. Gilmore.

It was a pleasure
Meeting you both.

Here. I'll walk you out.

Love what's going on with
Your shoes, by the way.

Hey, look what I found.

Oh, good -- lunch.
I'm starving.

Do you wanna eat
In here today?
Sure. Why not?

Oh, good, they threw in
Pickles like I asked.

It's great having this place
Just across the street.

You'll never starve.
Hmm.

We should start
A tab with them

So we don't have to pay cash
Every day.

Already done.
Amazing.

You're like the tiny fellow
On "M.A.S.H." program --

Always anticipating.

So, what do we think?

Mmm. That's tasty.

No, I mean about karen.
Who?

The woman who was just here.
The one with the system.

Hmm. Rather inexperienced,
I thought.

Dad, she worked as an executive
Assistant for six years.

But she's young,
Young women tend to be flighty.

She worked for the same woman
For five of those six years.

This roast beef is delicious.
It's lean, it's tender.

What did you get?
Cheeseburger.

I may get one of those
Myself if we order

From the same place tomorrow.

Tomorrow?
Mm-hmm.

You mean for more
Secretary interviews?

Well,
Whatever's on the agenda.

Dad, you've already seen,
Like, three people

Who would be absolutely
Perfect for the job.

You can't rush these things,
Lorelai.

A man's secretary sets the tone
For the entire enterprise.

I know that, but --

It's to do with chemistry
As much as anything else,

It's not manufactured
Out of sheer necessity.

Besides, you and I seem to be
Doing just fine for the moment.

For the moment, but the moment's
Coming to a rapid end.

Well, what do you mean?
I can't work here
'cause I have my own job.

I know that, lorelai.

I need you
To find assistant soon,

I don't even know when
I'm gonna be able to come back.

I need to see more resumes.
In the meantime --

I cannot come back
Here tomorrow.
I see.

I didn't mean that to sound so
Harsh. I just...I meant --

I know exactly what you
Meant to say, lorelai.

Got the message.

I won't keep
You any longer.

I know how busy you are.

Didn't mean
I've to go right now.

We can finish our lunch.

Oh, I'm finished.

Will you leave the phone number
Of the sandwich shop, please?

I'll need it.

The numbers you'll need
Are there on your desk.

Oh, good.
Now, if you'll excuse me,

I've my own work
To attend to.

Thank you for all your help.

[ dialing ]

You know, dad,
If it makes any difference,

I thought that karen was --
Thank you.

Here.

You know, there will be
Food there.

Finger food -- aka "Snooty
Little balls of attitude."

Oh, boy.

I need real food --
Peasant food.

Hearty bread, meat, cheese,
Little pickle chips,

A sauce -- a special sauce.

This is the food that
Sustains me --

My god. Just eat
The burger already.

Wow, crabby.
I'm not.

Didn't even get through
My special-sauce speech.

That's crabby.
Sorry.

Does your arm hurt?
No, I'm just tired, I guess.

Alright, we won't stay
Very long.

Long enough to get 5 or 6
Withering stares from my dad,

And be taken 3 or 4 notches
By my mother,

And then we're outta there.

Oh!

Not good?
Really not good.

I swear, luke better
Come back soon,

Or I'm gonna starve to death.

[ engine revving ]

I'm sorry.
For what?

Luke's gone because of me.
Oh, honey, he's not.

Yes, he is. I got into an
Accident, you guys had a fight.

Rory, it isn't your fault.
If it's anyone's fault...

Jess' fault.
Well, yes.

Why does everyone in this town
Think that it is jess' fault?

Hey, let's not talk
About this, okay?

I was there too, you know.

Rory, everyone here
Loves you.

They know you're not
The "Get in an accident,

Knock over a bench" girl.

I know that,
And I appreciate that, but --

Stop beating
Yourself up about this.

It's over. Jess is gone.

Let's forget about this,
Okay. Please?

Fine.

Good. Hey, hand me
That burger again?

Thought you said it was bad.

It may be
A disgusting burger,

But at least
It considers me its equal.

Ugh.

Ooh, jeez, this is worse

Than the clowns
In the volkswagen.

Lot of people.
Yeah.

You want
Something to drink?

Think we're 3 martinis
Behind everyone else.

Just water, I guess.
Coming up.

Ooh, boy, I should have
Brought breadcrumbs.

Excuse me.

Lorelai, there you are.
You're late.

Well, you scheduled this
Beer bash during rush hour.

When traffic
Is leaving hartford --

Apparently not when emily
Gilmore's throwing a party.

Isn't it wonderful. Everyone
Showing up for your father?

Yeah, but don't you ever think
About scaling back a little?

I scale back a lot.

I cut two appetizers, I canceled
The champagne fountain,

I reduced the catering staff
To 6 servers,

Not counting the point man.

You can't not have a point man
'cause then what's the point?

Make it look cheap, people will
Think you're unsuccessful.

Absolutely right.

Better to deprive them of oxygen
So they don't think at all.

It's rather warm.
Want me
To get the air going?

No, karen knows how to do it.
Karen...

Your father's new secretary.

She's wonderful --
Very professional.

Karen darling, would you
Mind turning on the --

No, I'll have karen draw up
The contracts today.

That'll be in the morning.

Hi, dad.

Lorelai.

Swell party.

Yes, it's mostly
Your mother's doing.

[ chuckles ]

So, um...

What just went down there?
Down -- where?

The handshake with the man
In the grey flannel suit.

Score a deal?

One doesn't score deals
In insurance, lorelai.

One builds relationships
Based on trust

And fulfilling
The client's needs.

Sorry.
Mr. Lundquist and I just --

Uh, mr. Lundquist?
Yes.

Lundquist from aero
International?

Yes.
You bagged the swede?

Just as I didn't
Score a deal,

I also haven't
Bagged the swede.

We simply talked. We came to
An agreement. We shook hands.

You shook hands.
That means --

I'm sending him the contracts
In the morning.

Dad, that's big.
Yes, I suppose
It is big.

That's gigantic. It's
A whole new market for you.

Opens up all of scandinavia,
Doesn't it?
Beyond that.

Lundquist's company's rep
For russia as well.

Russia!
Da.

Look who's taking over
The world.

I suppose
That'd be me.

[ both chuckle ]

I see that you hired karen.

Yes, well, I had
To get someone in here.

Seems to be
Working out well.

She's no...Margie,
But we'll see.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have
Several more deals to score

Now that I have finished
Bagging the swede.

He's really in his element,
Isn't he?

And happier than he's been
In years.

Oh, there's rory.
I was wondering where she's --

What's that on her arm?

Oh, I was gonna tell you
About that.

Hi, grandma.
That's a cast.

That's a cast.
She hurt her arm.
When?

How bad is it?
I fractured my wrist.

Oh, my god!

It's just
A hairline fracture.

It's just tiny.
When did this happen?

Um, last week.

Last week?
Why didn't you call me?

Last week?
I can't believe you.

Um, well, I meant to.

How did this happen?
Bees.

Got in a car accident.

What?
Rory.

I got in a car accident.

How could you not tell us that
She got into a car accident?

When she missed dinner,
You said she had flu?

I didn't want you
To worry.

Yes, well, clearly there
Was nothing to worry about.

That car, wasn't it --
The one her boyfriend made?

Richard was dead set
Against letting

Her drive that death mobile.

It wasn't the car, mom.
Then, what was it?

A friend and I
Went to get ice cream.

Which friend? Lane?
Jess.

Jess?
Luke's nephew.

Him? I thought you were going
To keep that boy away from her.

Do we have to talk
About this now?

Yes, we have to.

Rory has a cast
On her arm.

I don't understand how you
Could be so irresponsible.

Mom, please.
Don't, "Mom, please" me.

It's your responsibility
To stop this.

It's your responsibility
To make sure that --

I gave him the keys
To drive.

He wanted to drive back to
Luke's, and I said no.

I told him to keep driving,

That's when we got
Into the accident.

It's just as much my fault
As it's his.

Rory!
I've got this, mom.

Can I see you in the hall
For a second?

Hey, what the hell was that?
I'm sick of this.

Sick of being treated like
Some kind of mindless idiot

Being led around by a guy.

No one's treating you
Like that.

Everyone is.
The whole town is--

Taylor, babette, dean --

Everyone in
My life, including you,

Is refusing to believe
That I was as responsible

For what happened
That night.

Really? Were you
Driving the car?
No.

Then you weren't
As responsible.

What if it had
Been dean?

What if dean was driving? Would
Everyone assume it's his fault?

No, if dean was driving,
There wouldn't be an accident.

Dean's a much more
Responsible kid who loves you

And would have been driving
More responsibly.

How do you know
Jess wasn't?

Hi. It's jess.

Oh, right. Jess is the
Antichrist. I forgot.

He was looking
For something to hit.

Because he's a murderer
With a death wish,

He wanted
To kill us both, right?

I know you think that jess is
Your friend, but he's not.

He is a completely
Out-of-control, really angry kid

Who has no respect for luke,
And no respect for me --

It was an accident.
And he was driving.

No matter what I say, you're
Gonna choose to blame jess?

Yes, I choose to blame jess.

Because you hate him?
That's right.

I'm sorry. When my daughter
Comes home broken,

I get to hate the guy
Who broke her!

That's how it works.
He's gone. I win.

You're wearing a cast, and
I get to hate him forever!

Fine!
Fine!

Fine.

I just had this image of
35 businessmen, 6 servers,

One point man all leaning up
Against that wall

With glasses to their ears.

I don't think they
Needed the glasses.

We've got good lungs,
You and I.

We'll never
Agree on this.

You have to understand.
I do.

Okay.
I don't wanna
Fight about this anymore.

Neither do I.

Do you wanna go
Back inside?

No, I wanna go home --
My wrist hurts, I'm grumpy,

I made a total idiot
Of myself in there,

So I wanna go home.

Alright, I'll tell mom.
I'll drive you.

No, it's okay.

It's still early.
I can catch my regular bus.

You go back in.
Rory.

I just want
Some alone time now.

You sure?
Yeah. I'll see
You back at home.

[ sighs ]

Thanks.

It's after 6:00.
We're closed.

5 more minutes?
Nope. Now.

So, you're from
New york, huh?
Yes, I am.

I wanna go to new york
Some day.
Good for you.

You like it there?
It's alright.

What part did you live in?
Okay, look. What's your name?

Lane kim.
Very nice to meet
You, lane kim.

You've got to get out of here

Because I'm gonna close,
And you're not gonna

Schmooze me into forgetting
That I'm going to close.

Wait.
What?

I have to have
Those drums.

Great. Cash or credit?
No, see, I have no money.

If I did have money, I couldn't
Take those home because

My mother would never stop
Crying, so I have a proposal.

Uh-huh?
Twice a week on wednesday
And friday nights

At six o' clock I
Could practice here.

Wow, that sounds great.
No.

I'm not expecting you to let
Me do this for free.

I'll clean, do inventory,
Stock stuff

Whatever it's
That you need done.

I don't need that much done.

Well, then, I can do
Other things, also, like --

Oh, hey, do you know korean?
No.

I could teach you.
Why would I wanna
Learn korean?

Why wouldn't you?
It's an interesting language

Being bilingual in this day
Can only be a plus.

Please...Go home.

I can't go home
Until you say yes.

I have to rock. I have to.
Please.

I'm so begging you --
Let me rock.

Why wednesdays and fridays?

Because that's when my mom
Has her bible group.

Okay, let's see
What you got.

Really?!
Oh, my god, thank you.

Can I hit them this time?

Go ahead.

Yes!

A 1, 2, 3, 4!

I'll be in the back
In case the cops come.
Okay.

You mind turning off
The lights on your way out?

My mom sometimes
Walks home this way.

[ drums playing ]

[ dog barking ]

Hey.
Rory.

You back?

I'm back.

You catch anything?

Nah, apparently the fish
Went fishing, also.

Too bad.
Yeah, well...

So, that's the, uh...

Yeah.
Does it hurt?

No, not really --
Just itches a little.

Yeah, I can imagine.

Make sure you don't
Use a pencil.

Excuse me?
Your arm --

You know,
When it itches?

I broke my arm once.
Itching drove me crazy.

Grabbed a pencil --

Shoved it down the cast
To scratch.

Bad results?
Bad results.

Got it. No pencils, I promise.

Good.

So you...Want some coffee?

Sure.

[ guitar strumming ]

[ bell ringing ]

Where's your mom tonight?

At a party for my grandpa.
Ah, sounds nice.

Grab yourself a donut.

So...Have you
Heard from him?

Oh, no, I talked
To his mom, though.

He got home okay.

Good. That's good.

Yeah, good.

What about his stuff?

Oh, I'm gonna send it.

Right. Makes sense.

[ sighs ]

Luke?

Yeah?

It wasn't his fault.

I know it wasn't.

[ strumming continues ]
