You've been saying that
For miles.

My feet are sore.
Tonto, when did you
Become older than me?

Tell me what this new
Breakfast place is,
Then I'll be quiet.

It's an amazing new
Mystery place that I found.

Is it in this town
Or the next?

We don't patronize
The next town.
Since when?

Didn't they feed lead to
Our jumping frog or something?

Right after they stoned
The woman who won the lottery.

See?
So the boycott's legit.

Hey, wait! Stop!

Look, it's michael landon.
You guys walk fast.

I've been chasing you
For the past 2 blocks.

We were being followed.
I wasn't being paranoid.

Maybe next time,
You'll take me seriously.

Where are you guys
Going?
Mystery breakfast.

Out of town?
Does no one remember
The definition of "Mystery"?

I was wondering
If it's okay to practice
On your pots and pans again.

Alright.

I've almost nailed
"Ramble on."

I just have to stop
Hitting my face

When I pull my arms back.
John bonham
Had that problem.

Enjoy your mystery breakfast.

Come on.
It's not much farther.

We're not heading toward
Any businesses of any kind.

What?

We have arrived.
Arrived where?

Oh, you are without
Shame.

[ sizzling ]

Sookie, you don't
Have to do this.

Feeding my girls,
Making them happy --

I love doing this.
Yeah, so feel the love
And pass the salt.

It makes me feel guilty.

Eating can help
Drown that.

Yeah, eat, eat.
I'm gonna eat.

Gee, can the help sit
At the table, too?

As long as they don't sing folk
Songs or tell bawdy stories.

What's with narcoleptic nate
Over there?

Uhhhhhhh.

He's not much of
A morning person.

Now say, "I can't believe
I ate the whole thing."

It takes him about an hour
To become jackson.

Hey, I had a good idea
For the wedding.

Instead of those little jordan
Almonds at every place setting,

What if we wrap up
A few aspirin?
Aspirin?

For the morning-after
Hangovers.

Ah ha!
That's funny.

'cause jordan almonds
Are so done.

Jackson, what do you think?
Aspirin over almonds?

Uhhhh.
Can we take that
As a yes?

No. See, everything eventually
Registers. He'll chime in on
This in a couple of days.

Days?
Days.

Is jackson in the house?
Let me hear you say, "Uhhh!"
Uhhhh.

A new toy.
Shameless.

* 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 *

How's it going?
I hate these books --
Hate them.

No, no.
See that?
They're trying to escape.

They hate me, too.
Your books don't hate you.

Oh, my brain is full!
It has reached capacity.

It's shea stadium
When the beatles played.

It's cramped, and I think
George is fighting with ringo.

You have a very active
Head.

I cannot ingest any more
Information.

Take a break.
I don't have time.

Close your eyes,
Clear your head.

Clearing my head just means

That all the knowledge I have
Stuffed in there will leak out.

In order to make room
For stuff, I lose stuff.
It's a very vicious circle.

I'll make some coffee.

I hate finals.
Nobody likes finals.

Thank god I'm graduating.
This is the last time
I have to cram like this.

My pursuit of higher education
Has led me to an interesting
Discovery about myself.

I despise academics.

Learning, knowledge --
It's all worthless.

I've no idea what you
See in any of it.
Learning is fun.

Plus there's that "I'm a minor,
So it's mandatory" thing.

That's what kills me --
This is self-inflicted.

I'm a masochist. I might as well
Be carrying a switch

And periodically lacerating
Myself with it.

That diploma, hangin' on the
Wall is going to make this
All worthwhile. Trust me.

I guess, unless I
Turn into john nash

And start drooling
On people.

Hey, you're graduating.
I know.

No, you're graduating.
There's gonna be a ceremony.

I don't know.
It's community college.

Community colleges
Have ceremonies.

My college doesn't
Even have a lawn.

They won't necessarily
Have a ceremony.

They must.
Did you ask?

No. Well, now that you
Mentioned it,

I think
Someone said something

About some cheesy ceremony
For my business class.

When is it?
I don't know.
Next thursday or something.

That's great.
You have to do it.
I don't know.

You have to do it.
Really?

You've never been a part of
An actual graduation ceremony.

I know. That's because my
Conservative high school

Wouldn't let me be
In the ceremony

And nurse you at the
Same time.
Don't be gross.

You think I should do it?
You've worked hard.
You've earned it.

I guess.
You know that deep down
You really want to do this.

Well, I'll admit
I've always wanted
To wear one of those gowns.

And the hat?
For the tassel.
You know my thing for fringe.

They call out your name
And people clap

And you get your diploma.
Then you do that thing

Where you move the tassel
From one side to the other.

Very symbolic,
Very dramatic.

That's it --
You're doing it.

If you insist.

Who do you want to invite?
You.

And?
That's cool with me.

Sookie and jackson?
That would be fun.

And grandma and grandpa?

Oh, no.
No, no, no.

Come on.
It's your graduation.

They should be there.
Forget it.

They won't want to be there.
Of course they will.

I was supposed to graduate
From high school,

Go to vassar,
Marry a yale man,

And get myself a proper nickname
Like babe or bunny or shih tzu.

Instead, I got pregnant,
I didn't finish high school,

I didn't marry your father,
And I ended up in a career

That apparently jessica hahn
Would think was beneath her.

That's not --
I humiliated them.

The two proudest people
In the world,

And I humiliated them.

I spoiled their plans.

I took their fine upbringing

In a world of comfort
And opportunity,

And I threw it
In their faces.

I broke their hearts,
And they'll never forgive me.

I guess I can't expect
Them to.

Maybe you're wrong
About how they feel.

It was a long time ago.
Rory, I don't
Want them to go.

It'll just hurt them...
And me, okay?

Okay.

You should get back
To your studying.
Fine.

Oh, great!
What?

I think I've
Already forgotten

Everything I read
In the last 2 hours.

No, you haven't.
Yes, I have!

In fact, I may have forgotten
Everything I've ever known.

Child, what be your name?

Study.

Lorelai: just explain
The concept one more time.

And be mocked again?
No, thank you.

Come on.
Yeah, maybe
We're missing something.

Okay, you go to a special
Shooting range.

A skeet-shooting
Range.

Right, there's two of you,

And the guy with the gun
Yells, "Pull!"

Then the other guy releases
A clay pigeon

From a machine into the air,
And you try to shoot it.

I don't think
We're missing anything.
I knew it.

You shoot pigeons?
Clay pigeons.

Does blood come out?
They're clay.

Why do you like
To do this?

My dad shot skeet
When he was my age,

And he wants to pass
The tradition down.

What if you
Hit a real pigeon?

Does that count?
That's never happened.

What if a clay pigeon
Hits a real pigeon?

Does that count?
I've only done this once.

If you get really good, do
You move on to other animals,

Like clay chickens
And clay sheep?

We didn't go skeet shooting.
I made it all up.

I gotta go in here.
What do you need?

Just general stuff.
You guys go and be in love.

Well, see you back
At the house.
Bye.

What if you shoot the person

Who throws the pigeon?
Would that count?

Duh.
It's alright.

I should have signaled
Or honked. My fault.
Okay.

Well, um, I guess
It was inevitable --

Us running into each other.

It's a very tiny community.
I guess so.

How's the diner?

It's still there.

Yes. I knew that.

I'm able to empirically
With my eyes...

Hey, luke, do you
Think we could --

I gotta get back.

Okay. Right.

Right.

[ doorbell rings ]
I'll get it.

Hi, grandma.
Hello, rory.

Thanks for seeing me
On such short notice.

I'm thrilled to see you
On no notice.

So, tell me,
What's this about?

You were so mysterious
On the phone.

I wanted to talk to you
About something in person.

Well, come in, come in.

Wow.

It's an english tea service --

One of the advantages
Of our having an english maid.

That, and the fact
That she speaks english.

You didn't have to
Do this.

But it's teatime,
And I wanted to --

Oh, no.

Beatrice, I told you to
Doily-line the plates!

You don't have to
Doily-line the plates.

Hello!

We're in the dining room.

Rory,
You're already here.

You're out of breath.

I ran over from the office.

You didn't have to run.

Your grandmother said you had
Something to discuss with us.

That certainly justifies
A run.

Alright, everybody,
Sit, sit.

Pour the tea, beatrice.

Actually, beatrice,
Could you hold off

On pouring the tea
For just a minute?
Thank you very much.

Grandma, grandpa, I would like
To propose an idea to you.

You can go for it or not --
It's entirely up to you --

But I would like for you
To promise me

That you'll
Not get upset...
We won't get upset.

...And that you'll try
To keep an open mind
Alright.

And that you'll let me finish

My presentation completely
Before you respond.

She's been hanging around
You far too much.

Rory, we accept your terms.
Please proceed.

Thank you.

Let me start by saying

That mom doesn't know
I'm here.

She'd probably be
Pretty mad if she knew,

But I feel this is important.

As you know, mom's been going
To business school

At the community college
For three years now.

I believe she's
Mentioned it.

Well, she's doing very well
And she's finishing up --

Actually,
She's graduating thursday,

And there's going to be
A ceremony.

And I think it'd mean a lot
To her if you guys were there.

It may not seem like it would,
But it's true.

If it'd mean so much, then why
Didn't she invite us herself?

She didn't think
You'd want to go.

I get that,
But I think it's a mistake.

I had a school thing once,
And I wasn't sure

If mom would wanna go,
So I didn't invite her.

It was my kindergarten
"Salute to vegetables" pageant
And I was broccoli

And I did a tap dance with
A guy that was playing beets.

The entire number, I was
Just thinking, "Mom's not here,"

And it was my fault
That she wasn't there.

Well, it was kind of
A life lesson for me.

Now, if the thought of going to
Mom's graduation upsets you

Or makes you unhappy
Or uncomfortable in any way,

Then please don't go,

Because this is an important
Night for mom,

And if you go, you should go
Under the right circumstances.

Those are the tickets.
It's thursday, 7:00 p.M.

It's indoors,
So weather's not an issue.

You can use them or not.

No hard feelings.
Do what you feel is best.

And if you don't mind,
I would really appreciate it

If you would keep
This conversation

Between the three of us.
That's all I have to say.

Thanks very much
For your patience.

I believe I have time for a
Scone before my bus leaves.

Beatrice, the tea, please.

Emily, these look
Delicious.

So, richard, how was
Your day today?

[ rock music plays ]

Lorelai: I'm feeling so good,
Sister, because it's over.

No more finals, no more
Studying, no more school.

The pressure's off.

Do you know how much
Pressure I felt?

All last week,
I felt like a giant man

And his brother
Were sitting on my chest.

A giant man?
And his giant brother.

Did they have names?
Clem and clem -- same names,

Which did not reflect well
On the imagination
Of their mothers.

Mother.
Mothers --
There were 2 clems.

'cause they
Were brothers.
Yes, so they had mothers.

You're drawing me
Into your drunken world.

It's not a bad place
To be, my friend. Mnh-mnh.

Tank's empty.

Hey, what is this?
What?

This "Life plan"
Book thing.

A gift for the grads
From the happy people

At hartford
Community college.

Hey, how many margaritas
Is too many margaritas?

Um, if you can't remember
Where the living room is.

I'm still good.

Here's an interesting
Question for you --

"Have you given any thought
To how children

Will work into
Your future plans?"

Well, they're not gonna stand
In my way, that's for sure.

I plan to have some,
Of course,

But I'm just gonna
Knock 'em out

And have nanny catch 'em
And care for 'em,

Make sure mick jagger
Doesn't come near them,

And then return them
To me when they're 21.
Well, what about me?

You are my favorite
Eldest child.

You get to stay
By my side.

I feel so privileged.

[ telephone ringing ]
I'll get it.

Hey, now,
If that's mick jagger,

Hang up and blow
That whistle I gave you.

[ beep ]

Hello.

Hi.

Hello?
Hi.

Is this a bad time?
Um, no.
Just hold on a sec.

Um, the music --
I'll be right back.

Hey.
You said that already.

I did.
You're right. Sorry.

So, what's up?

Nothing.
What about you?

Same.

So, what have you
Been doing?

Nothing much,
Just hanging out,

In the park mostly.
Central park?

Washington square park.
It's cool, though.
Yes.

It's where david lee roth
Got busted.

Right. I hope he's
Got it together now.

Sounds like you got a party
Going on there.

No, it's just me
And my mom.
Right.

Okay, well, I'm gonna go.
This is long distance.

Yeah, it is long distance.

So, see ya.

Yeah. See ya.

[ beep ]

* walk talk
In the name of love *

Mom?
Ahh!

What's wrong?
I'm experiencing
Frustration.

At the state of the world
Or something in particular?

What do you wear
To a graduation?

A cap and gown.
Duh. I mean underneath.

Whatever you want.
The gown'll cover it.
It's more complicated than that.

I don't wanna overdress, so that
I'm sweating if it's hot.

If I don't have enough on
And it's cold, I'll freeze.

It is complicated
If you overthink it.
I need a helpful comment.

Take light layers. Wear your
Turquoise and tan dress.

It will look good
Without your gown on.

And wear your turquoise
Sweater over it,

Because it will look great
With the dress

And it'll keep you warm
If it's cold.

You are a fashion genius.

Well, you've taught me
Everything.

My brain's not working.
You're excited.

What time are you
Getting there?

I have newspaper stuff.
No later than 6:00.

Then we'll go out to eat?
Any place. It's on me.

You don't have to do that.
You're the graduate.
You get to be pampered.

Okay, then I'd like to go
Chateau jean-georges in paris.

I'll book the concorde.
I gotta go.

Okay, I gotta get ready.

Wait, I wanna see
My little graduate

One more time
Before the big event.

Do I look ready
To make my way in the world?

Yes, and if everything fails,
You can marry rich.

I love that we always
Have that option.

What you gonna do
With your hair?
The curling iron's warming up.

The cap -- it's gonna smoosh
The curls down.

You are a genius.
See you tonight.

Try to seat us next
To a celebrity

On the concorde,
Like sting or someone.

I'll try.

So I told her,
"Look, missy --"

You called your advisor
Missy?
It was attitudinal.

I said, "I'm not taking a.P.
Calculus from henemen.
I'm going with branch.

"Branch is a graduate of m.I.T.,
And henemen went to berkeley.

"He may have majored
In math,

But what did he
Minor in, bean sprouts?"

I'm telling my advisor this and
I look down in her trash can,

And there's this half-eaten
Banana in there -- nothing else.

And I pictured her sitting
In this shoebox of an office

Eating a banana all by herself,
I almost felt sorry for her.

Then she questioned
My judgment about berkeley,
So I eviscerated her.

She was welling up
At the end,

But she had the decency
To hold it in.

I've enough recommendations
To run for student council,
I don't need her.

My locker's this way.

Are they closed?
They're closed.

Are you sure?
I'm sure.

Okay, one second,
And open, open, open..

You made me
A tassel-hat cake!

Filled with 2 pounds

Of crushed chocolate-covered
Espresso beans.

You're evil.
And you're graduating.

Yes, I am, aren't I?
Here.

Oh, hey, I brought those
Pictures you wanted to see

Of my high school
Graduation.
Hand them over.

But don't laugh.
I promise.

I was younger then,
Not as refined.

Ha ha!
You're stoned.
Totally.

I thought you hated that.
It was peer pressure.

In my school, if gilbert garcia
Offered you a toke,

You took it or took off.
Gilbert had
A snappy slogan.

I was nauseous all day.
Your parents?

The traditional parents flanking
Their graduate child.

Don't they look proud?

They do. Very proud.

What is that?

It's pictures of sookie's
High school graduation.

What was your
High school graduation like?

It was dignified,
As most french ceremonies are.

Poetry was read,
A string quartet played,

A ballerina performed.

Drank some boone's farm
Out of a bota bag

And knocked a beach ball
Around?

I don't understand half
Of what you said.

That's why we work.

[ cellphone rings ]

Hello.
Hey, lor,
How you doing?

Christopher.
I'm good. I'm excited.

You should be.
It's a big day.

Did you get my present?
What present?

A basket. You should've
Gotten it by now.

Did a basket come for me?
It came. It was heavy.

I felt a twinge, so I dropped
It for health reasons.

It's probably still intact.

My crack staff has just
Informed me of its arrival.

I'm going to find it.

[ gasps ]
Wow.

I put it together myself.

And it's all for me?

All for you.

Chris, wow.

A $25 savings bond.

That's a long-term investment --

Don't touch it for 30 years,
You're looking at $45.

Ooh, a youth hostel card.

For the girl
Who doesn't mind sharing a
Bathroom with 50 strangers.

"A practical manual
For job hunters."

Helping you answer
The 2 questions --

What do you wanna do
And where?

A dvd of "The graduate" --
Gotta have that.

"The portable nietzsche."
Light, cheery reading.

An application to join
The armed forces.

If your dreams don't pan out,
It's a viable option.

And something in
A nice little velvet box.

Ooh. A necklace.
The pearl almost looks real.

It better look very real,
Because it is.

That's not funny.
This is not a funny gift.

Christopher,
This is extremely not funny.

This is totally humorless.

It's -- it's beautiful.

I think you're awesome, lor.

With everything you do

And raising rory
The way you did,

You're superwoman.

Wow.
Have a great day.

I wish I could be there.
Take lots of pictures.

Oh, the camera.
I forgot the camera.

Look in the basket.

Oh. [ gasps ]
You thought of everything.

Have a great night.
Thanks.

You too.

Bye.

[ beep ]

[ man talking indistinctly
Over intercom ]

Could you --

Um, excuse me.
Sir, do you know --

Excuse me.
Do you know where washington --

Excuse me, ma'am.
Washington square park?

End of fifth.
Thank you.

Excuse me.
Where's fifth?

Hi.

How you doing?

Good.
How about you?

Good.

You hungry?

Starved.

I know a place.

I feel very urban today.

Oh, yeah, the plaid
Just screams "Urban."

I think
I look like a native.

How well do you know
Manhattan?

I've been here.
We saw the bangles here.

When was that --
20 years ago?

It was a reunion,
They were great.
They were okay.

A couple years ago,
Mom drove us in to shop.

She couldn't find
A good parking place,

And all of the lots
Were total rip-offs.

She kept making u-turns
And cutting off taxis,

And we were being screamed at
In so many different languages.

Then we just turned around
And drove home

And bought a hummel
In stars hollow.

Very adventurous.

I'm just saying I'm no stranger
To the big apple.

You are if you're calling it
The big apple.

I don't have the lingo down,
But I have the attitude.

You do, huh?
Oh, yeah.

When I was getting a locker
For my backpack,

There was this guy just standing
There staring at me.

And instead of ignoring him,

I just fixed him with
A really withering stare.

That I've got to see.
No.

Come on. Let me see
Your withering stare.

It's dangerous.
I could hurt you.

I've been hurt before.
No.

I'm disappointed.

So, your arm's okay?

Yeah.
It looks worse than it is.

I like this emily chick.
A friend of yours?

She's a friend to all
Of us dispossessed.

So here's our lunch place.

A hot-dog stand?

It's not that fancy,
But...

I love it.
It's perfect.

Good.
One with everything on it.

Make that two, please.

So, uh...How's...

Luke?

Yeah.

Okay.
He went fishing.
Fishing?

Yeah. He didn't catch
Anything though.

He probably used
The wrong bait.

Yeah. That's a common
Fishing...Blunder.

So, he's good?

Yeah, he's good.

I can tell him hello for you
If you want.

Whatever.

Thank you.

Oh, my god!
This is really good!

I'm glad you like it.
So, how much time you got?

I got a bit.
There's a record store
You should check out.

It's run by this insane freak
Who's a walking encyclopedia

For every punk and garage-band
Record ever made.

Catalog numbers.
He's crazy.

The place is right out
Of "High fidelity."

Let's go.
Okay.

Where you going?
Subway.

I thought
We were gonna walk.

It's 15 blocks.
Come on, I think you'll like it.

Do they allow hot dogs
In the subway?

You are so
An out-of-towner.

* july 4th
In new york city *

Excuse me. Hi.
I'm one of the graduates.

Wow. You're hours early.

[ chuckles ] Yeah.

I wanted to beat traffic and
Have time to get ready and relax

And also I've heard the early
Bird gets the unwrinkled gowns

Without the mysterious stains
In them.

This is true.
Take your pick.

Thank you.

This is so exciting.
Isn't this exciting?

This is my eighth year
Of doing this.

So not so exciting for you.
Got it.

Huh.

You're being so cryptic. Do you
Need a power source or not?

My batteries are all
Fully charged.

It just depends on how fast
They deplete.

So we need one
Just in case.

Mom!

Lorelai, it's hours before
The ceremony.

What are you doing here?

I'm just getting --
What are you doing here?

How do you even know
About this?

I shouldn't know about this?
A mother can't know about this?

No, I just mean --
You're graduating.

So we're here to see you
Graduate. This is raul.
Hey.

So you and raul are just here
To see me graduate.

Don't be silly.
Your father will be joining me.

My father?
Yes. Remember him?
Tall, bow tie.

I remember dad, mom.
I just --

Ah, rory told you.

Yes. That's okay, isn't it?
It's a little late if it's not.

Oh, no, it's perfectly fine
That you're here.

I'm just surprised.
Who are you?

I'm raul.
I just told you that.

Did rory invite raul, too?

Raul is my cameraman.
Cameraman?

He's going to be filming
The ceremony for us.

He's very talented.

He screened an independent film
Of his as an audition --

"Welcome to scabland."

It was disgusting,
But beautifully photographed.

It was supposed to be
Disgusting.

I'm sure it was.
Mom, all this stuff.

Excuse me.

All of this equipment --
It can't be here.

Obviously we're not going to
Leave all of this equipment here

For everybody to trip over.

She's handling it,
Right, mom?
Okay, this lighting sucks.

Can we do something
About the lighting?

I don't think so, ma'am.
I don't know.

It's a community college.
We'll just have to cope.

Mom, please. People will be
Showing up here soon.

Lorelai, I'm perfectly capable
Of handling this.

No one will be
Inconvenienced.

Okay. I'm just gonna let
Everyone deal with all of this,

Because I need to relax
And get a cup of coffee

And maybe hammer a nail
Into my head.

You're not needed here,
Lorelai.

Go get your coffee.
Relax.

You're going to redo your makeup
Later, aren't you?

Maybe an irish coffee.

[ rock music plays ]

I haven't even heard of
Half these bands.

I love that
About this place.

God, lane would want
To live here.

Who's slint?

I don't know.

Grunge quartet
Out of kentucky.

Two albums plus a double
A-side single.

Disbanded in '94.

Thanks.

* ...Sludge from new york
And new jersey *

Oh, my god.
What?

Look.

The go-go's.
You must have that one.

No. For my mom.

This was her favorite group
When she was my age.

And it's signed by belinda.

This would be the perfect
Graduation present.

I've been looking all week long,
And I couldn't find anything.

Now I have belinda.
Graduation?

From college.
From business classes.

I'm surprised she has time
For anything

Except lighting darts on fire
And throwing them at my picture.

It's not a lot of time,
But...

Go on. Get it.
She'll like it.

Thank you so much
For bringing me here.

This was fate.
I think it was.

And in return, I just might show
You my withering stare.

I'm a lucky man.

* and if the ground's
Not cold *

* everything is gonna burn *

I think this one's mine.

Yep.
The sign says boonesville.

Excuse me.
Which way is 44th?

Oh, um, that way.

Great. Thanks.

I got asked directions.
I saw.

He took me for a native.
That's so cool.

That's very impressive.
44th is the other way.

Oh, no. Oh, man.
I should go find him.

He'll figure it out when he sees
The numbers getting smaller.

He still thought I was a native.
That's cool.

I'm your witness.

Well, I should go.

Okay.

I got to go
To my mom's graduation.

And give her belinda.
And give her belinda.

Go on.
I'll check on the guy.

I'll make sure
He's not wandering around

Looking for 44th.

Why did you come here?

What?
I said,
"Why did you come here?"

You ditched school
And everything.

That's so not you.
Why'd you do it?

Because you didn't say
Goodbye.

Oh.

Bye, rory.

Bye, jess.

[ sneezes ]

Oh, great. I'm woody allen
In "Annie hall."

You thought ahead.
Smart.

Oh, the mirror.
Yeah.

I never leave home without
All the essentials --

Mirror, makeup,
Picture of shaun cassidy.

I'm done.
Do you want to use it?

Thanks.

Oh.
Don't I look charming?

You look great.
I looked better.

I had to run here straight
From work -- kinko's.

Hey, liza. Maybe you and I ought
To do a little reproducing

After the ceremony.
Clever.

Don't be a snot!
Shut up!

That's my boyfriend, zach.
Oh, sure.

We're breaking up 'cause we're
Transferring schools.

He's going to florida state.
I'm going to umass.

Although I'm kind of gonna miss
This place.

I'm not.
This place stunk.
It's bush-league.

Why'd you go here?
My parents couldn't afford
Anything else.

Yeah, I guess that 2-point-zilch
Grade-point average

Didn't reason into things.

Shut up!
Between the lines!

Go die.

Are you sure you two don't
Wanna give it another go,

'cause you're darling
Together?
Thanks for the mirror.

My pleasure.

Hey, a bunch of us are going to
Shaky's afterwards for pizza.

You want to come?

I'm going out
With my daughter after,

But it sounds like fun.

You guys are not
Gonna believe this.

There's some blue-blooded
Rich woman out there

Setting up professional
Film equipment

Like she's shooting
A movie or something.

You're kidding.
Whose mother is it?

I don't know. Little precious
Must be around here somewhere.

I hate people
With money.

So do I with every fiber
Of my being.

Me too.
Money people -- pluh!

Excuse me.
Yes?

Are we leaving soon?

I have no idea.

Should you have an idea?

There was an accident.
It closed the interstate.

All outbound busses were told
To stand down.

Oh.
And you don't know when

We're gonna be allowed
To stand up again?

Soon, I hope.
I hate missing dinner.

Yeah. Me too.

There's our little graduate.

Oh, my god!
Look at that gown.

You look just like
The statue of liberty.

All big and stony?

No. You look amazing.

You look very "G.Q."

Thanks to my best new friend
Ermenegildo zegna.

Don't you love how he can
Pronounce it?
Very cosmopolitan.

He got it for the rehearsal
Dinner. It's his first suit.

And not my last.
I look hot!

You know that emily's
Out there?

Shh, shh, shh.
Why "Shh"?

It's a long story.
Just do me a favor.

Sure.
Keep an eye on my parents.

Make sure they don't
Disrupt anything --

My mother
Doesn't behead anyone,

My father doesn't
Snore too loudly.

They're not doing
Anything like that.
Have you not met them?

Why'd they do that?
They're here because rory
Invited them.

No.
Yes.

They can't say no to her.

It's like hitting a puppy
With a rolled-up newspaper.

You guys are not gonna
Believe this.

You're mr. Announcement guy
Today.

You'll pipe in
Every time I talk?
Can it.

Stuff it!
They're in love.

Mrs. Got bucks
Not only has a cameraman,

She's got a sound guy, too.

It's like a baz luhrmann movie
Out there.

That's emily, right?

Rich people feel
So entitled.
Yeah, damn them!

I saw her wipe her face
With a $100 bill.

We should line them
Up against a wall.

Is lorelai gilmore
Here?

Yes.

Oh, good.
Have a look at these, will you?

Wow!
Pretty.

Take your pick.

What for?
To wear.

Are they for sale?
No. They're paid for.

These are from your mother --
Emily gilmore.

Wow. Ritzy.
I don't want a corsage.

They're all paid for.
It's too much.

Your mother wants you
To pick one.
It's okay.

She'll just come back here
Herself.

This one. Thanks.
Good choice.

The cameraman said that would
Look best on film.

So you're the rich girl.

I'm not rich,
But my parents have money.

I'm totally self-sufficient.

I take nothing from them

Except this corsage
And my daughter's tuition.

So, are you gonna stone me?

Look at her friends. They're
Wearing suits that drip money.

Hey, pal,
This was 30% off.

That's why you didn't want to
Get pizza 'cause it's below you?

No, liza.
Pizza is not below me.

I love pizza.
I eat tons of pizza.

It's one of my 4 major
Food groups.

Candy, popcorn, and pizza.

It's two of my food groups.
That's how much I love pizza.

I wanna believe you.

Enjoy your champagne and caviar
At the ritz, your highness.

I am not rich!

[ ringing ]
My pager.

Maybe this suit was
A little much.

You're a fox.
Now, don't start.

Oh, no.
What?

Rory's running late.
Late from what?

She doesn't say. She's
Definitely gonna be here,

But if she's not here by 7:00,
She'll sneak in the back.

She'll be here.
Don't worry.
I hope so.

How 'bout we sit in back,
And we'll save her a seat?

Great. Can you hang onto
All my stuff for me?

I don't wanna leave it
In here.
Will do.

Thank you.
Bye.

You don't trust your valuables
Around us poor kids, huh?

Knock it off, zach.

You don't look happy.

I'm late.

These buses are the worst.

Why are we making
So many stops?

The bus didn't make stops
On the way into the city.

That was probably
An express.

This is a local.
It makes a lot of stops.

I should have checked
The schedule.

I should have checked
Traffic.

Note to self --
Impulsive does not work for me.

What are you doing?

Hmm?
Oh, uh, it's for my spit.

Your what?

From my smokeless.

Victor david fuller.

Nancy brenda gatson.

Greta gardner.

Making sure the camera's getting
Your best side, princess?

Are you telling me that that is
The best commencement speaker

They can scrounge up?

I hope raul's getting
Enough shots of lorelai.

And not the whole damn
Ceremony.

No, I disagree. I hope he gets
Every inspired word articulated

By the east-coast marketing
Director of poppin' taco.

Raul!

Joanne george.

[ applause ]

Oh, jeez.

John lawrence gilfer.

[ applause ]

Lorelai victoria gilmore.

[ applause ]

[ indistinct conversations ]

Okay.

Hey.
Mom, dad.

Lorelai.

Well...I did it.

Yes.

Raul thinks he got
Some good footage.

I should hope so.
He certainly cost enough.

I'm sure it'll be great.

Congratulations,
Lorelai.

Thank you.
I'm glad you guys came.

Yes, well,
We should get going.

I guess we'll see you tomorrow
For dinner.

Hey, wait.

Aren't we gonna take
A picture?

Excuse me?
The three of us.

Me in the middle with the gown.

You know,
The traditional pose.

Well...We don't have a camera
With us.

[ gasps ] Hold on.

That's a camera?
That's a camera.

It looks like a toy.

Raul, would you mind?

So...

Raul: okay,
On the count of 1...

2...3.

Cheese!

Thank you.

Yes,
Well, tomorrow then.

Absolutely.

Let's go, richard.

I'll be right there,
Emily.

Congratulations.

Oh, you don't have to
Do this.

Put it towards something fun.

Thank you, daddy.

Hey.
We're so proud of you.

Yeah.
You were great up there.

Thanks, you guys.
Where's rory?

No rory?

She called your cell,
And I answered.

She said she got hung up,
And she'll see you at home.

Hung up? Hung up where?
Is she okay?

She said she's fine.
She's sorry, but fine.

Oh. As long as she's okay,
I guess.

Um, well, I should probably get
The gown back.

Thanks for coming, sook,
Marcus shankenberg.

You want to go
Out to eat? Celebrate?

I think I'll just go home
To rory.

I thought so.
See you tomorrow.

Thanks.

Wait a minute.

Aspirins instead
Of jordan almonds?

But we already bought
The almonds.

Wow. Now, that's the longest
Anything's ever taken.

My family's not gonna get
The joke!

Can't we just use
The almonds?!

Okay, sweetie,
Calm down.

[ vehicle approaches ]

I'm so, so sorry.

You're okay, right?
Yes.

Everything's working.
Your wrist's okay.
Nothing new is broken.

I'm fine.

Anyone you know, like lane,
Get sick today

Or break an arm themselves
Or get in a car wreck?
No.

Okay, good.
Then I can get past worried

And move on
To the other things.

I know you're hurt.
You bet.

Rory, I really wanted you
There today.

You're why I did this
In the first place.
I know.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime
Thing.

My best friend should
Have been there.

Whatever it was
That kept you,

You should have gotten out of it
At least this once.

Was it school?
It wasn't school.

Was it paris?
It wasn't paris.

What was it?
So stupid.

Where were you?
What happened?

I cut school.
You what?

I cut school
And I got on a bus,

And I don't even know
Why I did it.

I-I have no excuse.

I was just standing
Outside of chilton,

And I must have had a stroke
Or something.

What does a stroke
Feel like?

I don't know.
Not good, probably.

I left school and I got on a bus
And I went to new york.

That's it. I'm grounded
For 6 months or 7.

No tv. No stereo.
No reading.

Take all of my books away
From me and lock them up.

Hold on.
You went to new york?
And no magazines either.

I'm going to do all of the
Housework -- laundry, dishes.

We're gonna start eating at home
So we have dishes.

Stop. Why did you go
To new york?
To see jess.

Boy, do you know
How to bury the lead.

You went to new york
To see jess.

It was a stroke.
It made me someone else.

After his phone call
Last night --
That was him

It did something to me.
I don't know what.

You should take
The phone away from me too.

That's right.
Add it to the list.

No books,
No music, no phone.

Okay, rory --
I'm a horrible person.

You're not a horrible person.

I'm sick. I'm ill.
I'm cracked. This is not me.

If I were to write this down
In my diary

And I'd read it, I'd be like,
"Who is this freak?
This isn't me."

I wouldn't skip school
When I had finals coming up

To go see a guy
That isn't even my guy

And end up missing
My mother's graduation,

Which I wanted
To be at so badly.

That's someone else.

That's someone flighty and
Stupid and dumb and girlie.

And, I mean, I missed your
Graduation

Which is the worst thing
I could have possibly done.

I hurt you and I had to spend
Hours on a stinky bus

Next to a guy that was spitting
Into a can

Just thinking about all
The minutes that were going by

That I wasn't
At your graduation

And they were hurting you

Because it was so selfish
Of this person who wasn't me

To do what she did.

My god,
Take a breath.
I don't deserve a breath.

No breaths.
You should add that to the list.

You should beat me,
Ground me,

Take the phone away,
And deprive me of air.

Nobody wants to say this
Any less than me,

But maybe you don't have
A medical condition

Or a mental problem.

Maybe, honey,
You are falling for jess.

No!
No! I love dean!

Dean is my boyfriend.
He will always be my boyfriend.

That's it. Forever.

Maybe not forever.

Yes. Forever. I love dean.
Jess is gone now.

Everything's
Gonna be good again.
Everything's gonna be alright.

Rory, you cut school.
Yeah, I know --

You got on a bus and went
To a strange city
In your uniform.

I know.
That doesn't mean nothing.
That means something.

No! I don't want to talk
About this anymore!

The only thing I want to talk
About is the list I made

Of all the ways
I'm gonna make this up to you.

You get total control over
The remote and the stereo.

Total control
Over takeout food choices

And a special surprise present
Every day for a month.

Oh, my god!
I left your present on the bus!

It was a vinyl copy of the
Go-go's original album,

And it was signed by belinda.

I'm gonna find
Another copy.

That's going on the list,
Too.

Honey, please. Forget about
The list until tomorrow.

I'll just go to bed.
I'll go to my room.

Hold on one second.

Does this mean
I have to eat alone?

It's up to you.
Sending me to bed
Without supper --

You can't lose
With that punishment.
It's a classic.

I'd rather go out
With my daughter.

I don't deserve it.

No. But I do.

Just let me take a shower

And get the horrible smell of
This horrible day off of me.

We'll go anywhere you want -- my
Treat -- and I won't enjoy it.

Then we'll come home,
And I'll go straight to bed

And I'll have
A terrible night's sleep, okay?

Sounds great.

I'm so, so sorry, mom.

Oh, really?

'cause you didn't
Make that clear.

I won't be long.
