Simply disgraceful.

I knew the richmonds
Were going to be trouble

When they missed
The block party last month.

They gave out full-size candy
Bars for halloween. So what?

Not full-size candy bars,
King-size candy bars.

We've been giving out full-size
Candy bars for years.

And then those people
Throw the entire balance
Of the neighborhood off.

I think we have to
Do something --

Maybe go to the
Homeowners association.

Two halloweens ago,
Someone painted the
Duprees' chihuahua orange.

Nobody went to the
Homeowners association.

Everybody hated taco.

I think you're making
Too much of this.

I saw mae richmond two weeks
Before halloween.

She had ample time
To bring it up then,
And nothing -- not a word.

I think it might be time to go
After their ball machine.

[ chuckles ]
Ball machine?

They have a ball machine on
Their tennis court

That is extraordinarily loud
And unpredictable.

Flying, thumping balls
All over the place.

Flying, thumping what?

Balls.

[ chuckles ]

You are four.

Balls are funny.

If the homeowners association
Doesn't do anything,

We'll take this to the
Neighbors, get a petition going.

Or, if that doesn't work, you
Could throw some hoods on

And burn a full-size mars bar
On their front lawn.

King-size, lorelai,
King-size.

So, how's work,
Grandpa?

Look how smooth
She changes the subject.

Work is lovely, rory.
How's school?

Crazy.
She's taking
Too many courses.

I am not.

How many
Are you taking?
Five.

Is five a lot?

It's not.
It is.

I took five courses
When I was a freshman.

Rory takes after me.
I like to be busy.

Idle hands are
The devil's playthings.

That's
One of her classes.

Please don't worry
About me.

She says to the mother
And the grandmother.

Are you done?

Oh, yes,
Thank you.

Good, because we
Have mini lemon bundt
Cakes for dessert.

Oh.
What?

They're serving full-size
Bundt cakes at the richmonds'.

She's done.
Oh, no,
I have a carrot.

She's done.

Bet the richmonds would
Have let me eat my carrot.

* 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

[ indistinct conversations ]

All right, this should do it.

May we please
Get this over with?

Patience is a virtue,
Richard.

Time is fleeting,
Emily.

You're starting
A new partnership.

You need new photographs,
Especially with that new look.

I thought I'd give
A beard a try.
I like it.

All right, helmut,
We're all set here.

Okay. Important men
Doing important things.

[ chuckles ]

Good.
Oh, one more time.

We're going to sign,
And we're done.

Thank you, helmut.
That was wonderful.

And now we sign
The real papers.

I'm feeling historic.
You?

Oh, yes. It's like
Gettysburg all over again.

Thank you.

Important men
Doing important things.

Now, that makes it
Official.

Jason.

Let's give 'em hell.

I should have had helmut
Get the handshake.

The signing was fine,
Emily.

Sorry about
The photo session.

Oh, no, it's okay.
I think it's a cute idea.

And when the financial papers
Call for an official photo,

It'll be downright darling.

I learned long ago, when it
Comes to things like this,

Emily is always right.
I am sure she is.

Thank you both.
Jason, would you like
To join us for dinner?

I'd love to, but I
Should get these papers
To my lawyer's office.

Consider it
An open invitation.

Thank you.
Richard, see you tomorrow.

Yes, you will.

"I think it's cute."

He's young, emily.

Well, a smack on that scruffy
Face would age him up a bit.

All right, let's discuss
The launch party.

Do you have
Any feel in mind?

Just make sure
It's dignified.

We probably shouldn't
Go too fancy.

Maybe we'll do one
Of those vodka bars --

Caviar, a russian theme.

I love that it's okay
To be russian again.

How's the 23rd?
Perfect.

I want you to get
A new suit.

I don't need a new suit.

Find out what jason's
Going to wear.

I don't want the two of you
Looking like the bobbsey twins.

That would be embarrassing.
I'll need a guest list.

Uh-huh.

A russian theme.

I like that.

The conquering peoples
Impose their own values

On the subjugated peoples
Through education,

And quite often through
The appointment of a priesthood

From among their own ranks.

This means we should not assume
That the system of values

Has in some way
Evolved in a region.

It is almost always imposed with
The explicit purpose

Of keeping power in the hands of
The powerful.

Something to think about until
Next week,

When we will burst more
Of your illusions...

Which brings me
To a bit of bad news.

There was an error in the
Syllabus you received.

The dates were wrong, which
Means all of your reading

Has been pushed up one week.

I apologize for this cruel
Little life experience,

But what can I do?

I just found out my in-laws are
Moving back to town.

None of us are immune.

I'll see you all tuesday.

So, we were thinking maybe
Two horses to start with.

It's so charming
With the overhang.

You want me to turn this
Into stables?
Yes.

Without a magic wand
Or fairy dust?

Preferably, yes.

Let me take a look.

We'd like to keep
The existing structure.

Lorelai, I'm all set up
As soon as you're ready.

Be right there, kirk.

How attached are you gonna get
To these horses?
What?

You gonna name 'em, feed 'em
Apples, braid their tails?

Why, tom?
The roof's
About to cave in.

I can stay within our
Budget, but then I'd just
Call them all "Trigger."

Just tell me
How much more it's gonna cost.

Hey, you're here.
I'm always here.

Listen, I want to talk to you
About something very exciting.

I love "Very exciting."

This morning I got a call
From your mother.

This is
The "Very exciting"?

Yes! She's doing a party
For your father's new business

And she wants us
To do the catering.

Us?
Us!

Did you say "Us"?
Yes.

Did you say "Us" to her?

Yes.
So she knows about us?

Yes, she knows, I think.
What does she know?

That we have
A catering business.
Yes.

Oh, man!

What?
Did I do something bad?

No. Nothing.
It's my fault.

I forgot to tell her.
How could you forget?

Well, I've only seen her
40 or 50 times since we started.

What did she say
Exactly?

She asked me to cater,
And I said we'd love to,
And then she said, "We?"

I said you and I had
Started a company.

It'd be the both of us,
And she said, "Fine."

Was there a pause
Before "Fine"?

I don't remember.
She's mad.

She didn't sound mad.
Okay.

Now let's talk about
How much I can't do this.

But it's perfect timing.

This is probably the last
Job I'll be able to take
Before I have the baby.

Something else
Will come along.
Not that pays
Like your mother.

You know why she pays so much?
So she can torture you.

You already know the house.

Decorating and planning --
That's gonna be a snap for you.

I bet you can spend 90%
Of the evening in the kitchen,

Then we get to take home
The pretty, pretty money.

Sookie!
Pretty, pretty money.

Aren't you a big fat wad
Of pretty money?

[ sighs ]
Fine.

Really?

Shouldn't ask again.
Accepting and moving on.

Excuse me.
Lorelai.

Oh! Kirk.
I forgot you were here.

If I had a nickel
For every time I heard that.

I'm very sorry.
You have my full attention.

I'm gonna go.

Um...Ooh.

We talk tomorrow
About the details.

Okay. All right, kirk,
Show me what you got.

If you'll just follow me,
I would like to present you

With my new line of
One-of-a-kind mailboxes.

Wow.
They look very nice, kirk.

And whimsical.

They say to the world, "I'll
Take my mail with a smile."

Yes, they do.

And since you are one of
Our preferred customers,

With the purchase of one
Of our mailboxes,

I'll throw in a carved-duck
Doorstop and a garlic peeler.

That's quite an offer,
But I think it's a little
Early to pick a mailbox.

We haven't even settled
On a color for the inn.

Whimsy goes with everything.

I promise,
Just as soon as --

Is that condoleezza rice?

Yes, it is.
I'm a fan,

And her big mouth is perfect
For shoving mail in.

Ha.

I'll have to think
About it.

Fair enough.

So, I hear you're running
A catering business now.

Oh, yeah,
Just temporarily.

You guys any good?
Not bad.

And how much would one
Have to pay for your
Culinary services?

It depends -- type of food,
Number of people, venue.

Simple food, two guests,
My mother's living room.

I have a visitor coming in
From out of town.

I thought it would be nice to
Serve her a catered meal.

Her?
She was my brother's
Ex-girlfriend -- lulu.

I had sort of a crush on her
For a while,

And she's coming home
To visit her mother,
And she called me.

Kirk, you have a date.

No, just an appointment
To take lulu to dinner.

That's a date.

I don't have
High hopes for it,

If that's
What you're thinking.

Kirk, it's very sweet,

But are you sure you want to
Have dinner in your living room?

The breakfast nook
Doesn't seem festive enough.

While you're having dinner,
Where will your mother be?

Probably
In the living room.

You want to have dinner
With your mother watching?

I could ask her
To face the wall.

Or you could take lulu out
To a restaurant.
Which one?

What does she like?
I don't know.
Should I call my brother?

I think if he knew, she'd
Probably still be with him.

Just take her someplace
Where you're comfortable.

If you like it,
She'll like it.

Just not one attached
To a bowling alley.

That narrows it down.
I'll figure something out.

You'll see --
It'll be great.

Do you think I could
Stop by tomorrow with
Some wardrobe choices?

Kirk, you can dress yourself.
Just look nice --

Not too fancy.
Clean.

No jeans.

Oh, maybe a sport coat.

11:00 sound good?

Perfect.
Okay.

A trampoline.
That's new.

Helps with
My shin splints.

Huh. Wow.

Squeaky.

Yep.

[ telephone ringing ]
Phone.

Thanks.

Paris, can you
Get the phone?

Paris?

Don't answer it.

Why not?
It's jamie
And we're fighting.

Does he know you're fighting?
'cause he's not hanging up.

Oh, he knows.
Trust me, he knows.

Okay.

You're seriously
Not gonna answer that?

Nope.

[ ringing continues ]

Paris, come on.

Fine.

There.

Why are you and
Jamie fighting?

Because he's wrong.
He won't listen to me.

You won't listen to me!

You'd think he was
Already president.

I don't want to be hillary.

I don't want to wait
While he does his thing

So by the time I get my chance,
I'm too old to enjoy it.

I don't think hillary's
Too old.
Fine.
Be on his side.

I'm not on his side.
I'm on her side.

Don't answer it.

Paris,
I have to study!

Go ahead.
I can't!

Why not?
The phone.

Don't, rory!
I mean it!

Hello?
Hi, jamie.

Yes, she is here.

No.
Paris, you're
Acting stupid.

You love jamie, so just
Get on the phone

And work it out
So that I can study.

What?

No, I haven't thought
About what you said.

Because I'm very busy,
Jamie.

I have better things
To occupy my time with
Than thinking about you...

Or what you said...

Or what you meant
Or what you want

Or anything about you
Or concerning you.

Hey!

Have him call you back
On your cellphone.

You can talk to him outside.
It's nice outside.

My cellphone is dead.
Then take mine.

What's your phone plan?
Why?

'cause I'm not gonna get slammed
With a massive charge

Because your plan sucks.

Paris!

Jamie, I'm going to call you
Back on rory's cell.

Yes, I am.

Yes, I am!

Yes, she is!
Okay, bye.

Here.
I'll be back.

Take your time.

[ television plays ]

Tanna,
I'm trying to study.

Okay.

I can hear the tv
Through the wall.

Okay.
It's distracting.

Are you telling me
To turn it off?

I'm not telling --

You can, because your grandma
Paid for the tv.

I'm not telling you
To turn the tv off.

Because you can.
The tv belongs
To all of us.

If it's a matter of volume,

I could press my ear to the
Speaker and turn it really low.

Never mind.
The problem is
The speakers for the tv

Are mounted up in the corner
Of the ceiling.

Perhaps if I got a ladder.

Never mind, tanna.

Are you sure you don't want me
To turn it off?

[ door slams ]

Try this one.

Sookie, I love you.
I love your cooking.

But if you make me eat
One more broccoli tart

I will beat you to death
With it.

Your mother is the pickiest
Woman I have ever catered for.

She has impeccable taste,

And she can smell an inferior
Tart a mile away.

Depending on how long it's been
Left out, we all can.

She still hasn't called.
She will.

She was supposed to call about
The details a couple days ago.

She will, sookie.
But it's coming up.

We don't know if she
Wants a fish course
Or a cheese course.

We'll make a fish-cheese combo
Course just to be sure.

Why do I have to call her?

Technically, you're doing
The organizing,

And I've got
Batter hands.

Oh, ask her
About the foie gras.

Is it too expected?

'cause I can make it
With a cherry compote.

Okay. You know
What to say.

Hello, mom.

Lorelai, hello.
How nice to hear from you.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.
Thank you for asking.

Good.
I'm glad to hear it.

I'm glad to report it.

The reason I'm calling is we
Haven't heard from you yet.

We need to nail down some of the
Details of the party.

"We haven't heard
From you yet?"
Me and sookie.

Ah, yes, the independence
Catering company.

Uh-huh. Anyhow --
A few years ago,

There was a company called
Independent catering.

They were all the rage
Until they catered

The kirov benefit
For diabetes

That sent 300 people
To the hospital

With a vicious case
Of food poisoning.

Needless to say, they went out
Of business immediately.

I believe one of them left town
Without packing.

That's a good story.

Some people could mistake the
Independence catering company

With the independent
Catering company.

That would just be a shame
For you, wouldn't it?

If I'd known what you were
Going to name your company,
I could have warned you.

Mom, I swear,
I tried to tell you.

You did?
Yes, I did.

I sent you a flyer.
Didn't you get my flyer?

No, I did not get
Your flyer.

Oh, well, I sent it, and to be
Honest with you,

I was a little hurt that you
Didn't call,

But now that I know
You didn't get it,
I forgive you.

When did you send the flyer?

Last week.

What did it say?

Oh, you know,
"Come and get it."

You wrote "Come and get it"
On your business flyer?

No, it was your basic
"Introducing the independent
Catering company" flyer.

It had our phone number,
Our address,

And an amusing
Caricature of us.

That sounds like
A very nice flyer.
It was.

Do you have an extra one?
Bring it with you on friday.
Uh, sure.

It's very unusual these days for
Things to get lost in the mail.

You don't think you
Got the address wrong?

The party?
All right.

I'm going to want a mixture
Of white, off-white,
And cream-colored linen.

A simple bone china with a gold
Or deep-blue stripe will work.

Got it.

I'm going with tapers
Cut in half

So that people can see each
Other across the table.

We'll need white
And sterling roses,

But not too high or formal.

Do you have a florist?
I have a florist.

Does he have a flyer?

You want clear or
Silver vases?

You must think
I'm a complete idiot.

No, I don't.
There is no flyer.

You're making it up to cover
That you once again neglected

To tell me about an important
Event in your life.

Mom, I swear
There's a flyer.

Shame on you.
That's the worst possible
Thing you could do.

Liv tyler grew up
Her entire life

Thinking todd rundgren
Was her real father.

You think that might knock
This out of first place?

If I saw this behavior from some
Other company I was hiring,

I would fire them
On the spot.

Then fire us.

Excuse me?

You are hiring a professional
Catering company.

This is not a favor.
It is a business transaction.

I must insist
That you treat us

As you would any other person
Off the street.

As you wish.
Thank you.

I'm sorry, but we're very
Busy with preparations

For your event, so I'm
Gonna have to hang up.

Goodbye, mother.
Goodbye.

Aah!
Horrible woman!

You, uh, forgot to ask
About the menu.

My dorm room has turned into
A "Three stooges" movie.

Shove pop-tarts under the door
In two hours, please.

Uh, honey.
You quiched my room.

They're not quiche.
They're broccoli tarts.

You tarted up my room.

I'm sorry, honey.

I didn't know
You were coming home today.

How am I supposed to study when
It smells like broccoli?

Study in the living room.

This is serious bedroom study.

I have a ton of work to do.

Here's a crazy thought --
Isn't there someplace at yale?

Don't they have a hundred
Libraries?

Yes, but they don't have that
Right vibe.

They're too quiet and too big
And very drafty.

They don't smell like quiche.
Enough with the quiche.

I came all the way home and
There's nowhere to work.

It's just temporary.

Until the sewing machine comes.

You know how many kids in india
Would love to come home to
A room full of quiche?

Sorry -- tarts.

Tarts are
Totally different.

I know, honey.

Have a seat, kirk.
I'll be right there.

Caesar.

Yes?

You know what the key to a
Successful tuna melt is? Tuna.

That's not tuna?
No, it's turkey.

Give me the plate.
I'll do it again!

Don't get exasperated
With me.

I'm not the one that made the
Wrong sandwich.

[ clears throat ]

What are you doing, kirk?

Say I was tom cruise.
Where would you seat me?

In an acting class.

No. Which do you consider
The best seat in the house?

I don't know.
How are the acoustics?

The bathrooms
Are over there.

One loud flush
And the mood is spoiled.

I don't have time
To kill you right now.

Come back
In a couple hours.

I'll just reserve these three
Tables and decide later.

Reserve these --
For wednesday night.
8:00.

We don't take reservations.

But this is
A special occasion.

Lorelai told me to go
Somewhere I'm comfortable,

And I'm comfortable here.
You are?

Well, not at this moment,

But previously, I have been
Comfortable here. Please?

What's the occasion?
I have a date
With a young lady.

You really felt the need to add
The "With a young lady" part?

Kinda.

Okay, you can have one table
For 8:00.

Thank you. Here.
What's this?

It's a diagram of how I would
Like the table set up.

See -- little flowers
By her plate,

And the champagne bucket
Over here

So I don't
Knock it off the table.

I don't sell champagne.

Why not?
Because this is a diner.

Good champagne goes
With everything.
Get your own champagne.

What about the flowers?
Kirk.

Fine. I'll get the champagne
And the flowers.

Now, let's say
The date goes well.

How much
For the place upstairs?

You mean my apartment?

Yes.

Bye, kirk.
See you later.

Excuse me,
Is that good?

Yes.
And what is that?

Meat loaf.

Okay, so, is it
A romantic food for you?

Is it getting you hot?

Kirk!

Good talking to you.

[ sighs ]

I can't believe
We're doing this.

You did tell her to treat us
Like any other catering service.

"I'd like you to do
A test meal, lorelai.

After all,
You are a new company."

She must be
So happy right now.

She's probably been cackling
Into her magic mirror
All morning.

It's going to be a breeze.
Wait and see.

Three hours
Of bowing and scraping.

We're going to be serving
And delighting.

Anything to humiliate me,
Anything at all.

Wow!
You grew up here?

I swear, if she makes me
Wear a uniform...

This is citizen kane's
House.

Drape one of those
Napkins over my arm.

Is there a moat?

Just help me
Out here, okay?

Run interference
Whenever you can.

I promise.

May I help you?

Hi. We're the caterers.
We're here --

The servants' entrance
Is around back.

Ah!

Was that a maid?

Come on.

What are all those tennis balls
Doing over here?

Irish studies suck,
German studies suck,

Everything here --
Sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks!

That yoga's really working
For you, glenn.

[ trampoline squeaks,
Television plays ]

[ sighs ]

[ tlephone rings ]

Paris:
Don't answer it!

Oh! Great.
Glad you got that.

It's been bugging me
For the last...

Is this the off-white
Or the cream?

Uh, the off-white.

The cream is more creamy.

I cut those myself so they could
Be adjusted either way.

I mean, they could be
Adjusted smaller.

Taller would be tougher
Once they're cut,

But if they tell a lie,
They'll shoot right back up.

I assume
You'll have servers.
Yes, we will.

I assume you'll instruct
Your servers to omit
The pinocchio humor.

Yes.

Okay, here we go.

Now, we would start off
With either the roasted
Asparagus with the parmesan

Or the trio of winter soups --

Tomato basil, butternut squash,
And catalonian garlic.

Very ambitious.

And very tasty.

I'll tell the servers
Not to do that, either.

Lorelai?

Yes?

My napkin.

Oh, oh, yes. Napkin, yes.
Your napkin. I got it.

Do you want me to
Tuck it in your shirt?

My lap will be fine.

Okay.
There you go.

Feel free to spill
Anything you want down there.

You are covered.

[ clock chimes ]

[ sighs ]

What is the next course?

Lobster potpie.

You may bring it out now.

Okay.

Sookie, how far along
Are you?

Eight months.

Lorelai, there doesn't seem to
Be any reason

For a pregnant woman
In her eighth month

To be running to the kitchen,
Does there?

No, there doesn't.

You should
Take my plates.

Otherwise, you'll have no place
To put the potpie.

I can think
Of a place.

What was that?

Plates going bye-bye.

Okay, when I give the signal,
You run in and distract her,

And I'll take her down.
Got it?

Here we go --
Sookie's famous lobster potpie.

Very nice crust.

Thank you.

Well, sookie,
I must say your food

Is as accomplished
As I remember it.

Oh, thank you, emily.

And I think after we fine-tune
The presentation,

We'll have ourselves
A very nice dinner party.

So we got the job?

Yes, you got the job.

[ giggles ]
We got the job.

Thank you.
You will not be disappointed.

No, I will not.

The event starts at 7:30.

I would like you
To be here at 4:00.

I'm going to make a xerox copy
Of my notes

So the two of you can peruse it
On the way home.

We did it!
We got the job!

What a score!
We landed a whale.

We always
Had the job, sookie.

The whale was just
Toying with us.

She was swatting us
With her tail

And hosing us down
With her blowhole

Because that is
The whale's m.O. --

Humiliate and rip apart every
Other fish in the sea

Until there's nothing left but
A bloody pile of chum.

Boy, you really hate whales,
Don't you?

Mmm.

It's amazing.
Out of the blue, bam!
It was right there.

Things always happen
When you least expect it.

This tree is perfect.

All girls think their tree
Is perfect.

It fits my back completely,
And there's plenty of grass.

It's in a great area --

Not a lot of noise but
Still not in siberia.

Can it cook? I can get it a
Great gig with a crazy woman.

Grandma's not crazy.
She's specific.

Well, at least one of us
Is happy.

Thank god it's me.

My feelings exactly.

You have no idea how much
Studying I got done today.

Seriously,
Ask me anything.

Okay.

How'd I get shanghaied into
Catering a party for my mother?

You keep repeating yourself.

As soon as I hear you talking
About a study shrub,

I'll know it's time
To move on.

Fine, I have to go.

Yeah? Gonna go shopping for
A nice yellow ribbon?

Have some chili fries
For me.

I will.

Cheeseburger, onion rings,

And a list of people
Who killed their parents
And got away with it.

How'd the tasting go?
We got the job.

Would have been pathetic
If you hadn't.

I can't do this.
It's a gig.

It is a gig.
It's prince opening
For the rolling stones.

That's the kind of gig
It is.

Luke...
Yeah.

What's kirk doing?
Practicing.

Mmm.
For what?

His date.
He's doing a test run --

Talking, eating,
Making conversation.

Then he's gonna review the tape
And adjust from there.

Boy! You ever think
Of how many ways

Kirk could get kicked
Out of the army?

What a poor slob.
He's pathetic.

He likes a girl.
That's sweet.

All day, I have this crazy
Person sitting in my diner

Ordering everything
Off the menu

To see which meal has less
Crumb-to-sweater ratio.

If he's bugging you that much,
You can ask him to leave.

You ask him to leave.
It's your fault he's here.

How?
You're the one that told
Him to find someplace
He felt comfortable.

How did I know he felt
Comfortable here?

All I know is that
You talked to him,

And now he's over there
Talking to a camera.

Come on, luke.
Give him a break.

He wants the date
To go well.

I mean, it's all
Any of us wants --

To find a nice person
To hang out with
Till we drop dead.

Not a lot to ask.

And look on
The positive side --

If kirk's date goes well,
He'll be occupied,

And you'll be seeing a lot less
Of him at the diner.

Cut!

Okay, that sucked!

Let's just go again
Right away.

Focus!

Focus.

I'll have his monogrammed booth
Installed tomorrow.

All right, I think
This should be everyone.

You've double-checked it?

I have, but I'm sure you will
Also double-check it.

You know I will.

I am entirely confident
That no one will be left out.

This is very nice.

It's a florist lorelai found.
We're using him for the party.

Oh, I think
That will be perfect.

These are important people
We're trying to impress.

Richard. Emily.

Jason,
What a pleasant surprise.

You should have told me
Jason was coming over.

I would have had
Something prepared.

Please, I've gained 10 pounds
Since I came into this house.

Men always say that
And it's never true.

I just dropped by
For the keys to the office.

Right.
Forgot to give you the keys.

My apologies, jason.
Here you go.

Thank you.
Sorry to interrupt your evening.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Jason, I'm going to
Need your guest list
As soon as possible.

My guest list?

To the launch party.

Richard, you did remember
To ask jason for his list?

Emily,
I am a very busy man.

Honestly, richard, that's what
You have a secretary for.

Jason, I apologize
For my husband.

The official launch party for
Your company is next week.

I've got the entire thing
Organized.

You organized
A launch party?

Yes, and trust me,
There is no one

Who can throw together
A more elegant event
Than emily gilmore.

True and thank you
And you still forgot
To tell him.

Emily,
I appreciate the thought,

But I'm not sure a launch party
Is the way to go.

What do you mean?

It's traditional to do
Something for our clients.

It gives us a chance to
Talk to them one-on-one,
Develop relationships.

It's the extra little things
That set you apart in business.

I couldn't agree more,

And that is why I've organized
A trip to atlantic city.

What?

Get everybody out,
Away from business,
Away from their spouses,

Away from stuffy cocktail-party
Music and floral arrangements.

Have a little crazy fun --

Good food, lots to drink,
Maybe a little gambling, a show,

And nothing bonds two
Businessmen together

More than one finding
The other hung over with
A hooker in their bed.

What?!
Just a figure of speech.

You cannot be serious.

These are dignified
Men and women.

There are mobsters
In atlantic city.

Let's hope so.

Talk to him.

Jason, I'm not so sure --

This is the kind of thing that
Could set us apart.

It's different,
Maybe a little crazy,

But they will remember it and
They will tell their friends.

Yes, I suppose they will.

Every other company
In town is throwing
A dignified cocktail party.

Right now my mother
Has 12 caterers

Throttling every sturgeon
They can find

To get fine caviar for my
Father's clients.

Let's not give our clients
Canapés.

Let's give 'em some fun.

Well, it is different.

You can't be serious.

It's good
To change with the times.

You're running an insurance
Company, not a rap label.

People aren't looking to you
To give them a good time.

Let's think about this
For a moment.

I mean, how far along
Is this party?

Is it too late to cancel?

No, it's not too late
To cancel.

All right.

Jason, we'll try it your way.
Atlantic city it is.

I think it's a good move.

Emily, thank you again
For the offer.

Now you can just hang out
And relax.

My two favorite things.

All right,
See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Um, excuse me,
You're sitting under my tree.

What?

My study tree --
This is my study tree.

What the hell's
A study tree?

See, I have roommates --
So do I.

Yes, but I have paris and I have
Tanna and I have janet,

And janet squeaks --
I'm busy, okay?

Yes, I see you're very busy
With your "Trucker's monthly,"

But I finally found a great
Place to study,

And you're sitting on it.

There's a million trees
On campus.

This one fits my back perfectly
So I don't get tired,

And it's just far enough away
From anything busy

So that the noise level
Is perfect.

It's quiet
But not unabomber, and...

Anyhow, I was just hoping

That maybe you would consider
Giving me back my tree.

No.

Oh.

Well...

After you.

Wow,
This place seems nice.

Yes, diners are apparently
All the rage nowadays.

Really?

Very hip.
Very, very hip.

Excuse me.
Yes?

I believe I have
Reservations for two.
The name's kirk.

Kirk, yes. Okay.

Follow me.

How's this?

Very satisfactory.
Thank you.

There's more
Where that came from.

It's my lucky night.

Wow, I'm getting
The fancy treatment.

Well, you did show up.

Yes, I did.

I hear the meat loaf is
Excellent here.

Coming, coming, coming.

Mom.

Were you asleep?
Uh, no.

Then why are you
In your pajamas?

These aren't pajamas.
You wear that in public?

Hi, mom.
Would you like to come in?

You have the word "Juicy"
On your rear end.

Well, if I'd known
You were coming over,
I would have changed.

Into a brassiere with
The word "Tasty" on it?

Hey, mom,
What can I do for you?

I have to talk to you
About something.

Is everything okay?

I'm afraid you aren't
Going to be catering

The launch party
After all.
What? Why?

Your father and I just decided
To go a different way.

A different way?

I realize you've already
Put out some money.

Yeah.

I will reimburse you
For all expenses.

Great.

That's it.
That's all I came to tell you.

Okay, well,
Thanks for the notice.

You don't have to take
That tone with me, lorelai.

After you made us
Do that ridiculous
Tasting at the house?!

You told me to treat you like
Any other company.

You sat there like
The queen of england,

Making us jump through hoops
And taking ridiculous notes,

And for what --
So you could fire us?

Is this payback for me not
Telling you about the business?

Because, mom, even for you,
It seems a little extreme.

I understand you're upset.

Yes, I'm upset!
We needed that money.

I knew that humiliation
Was part of the package,

But I did it because I had to,

And -- just you abruptly firing
Us is completely wrong.

I agree, it is wrong.

Well, okay.

Then...As long as
You agree it's wrong, w--

Okay.

I'm sorry, lorelai.
I really am.

I thought your table
Was lovely.

I thought the food
Was wonderful.

I was really looking
Forward to this party.

I think it might have been
The best one I ever put on.

So, then,
What happened?

Oh, you know,
Times change, lorelai.

Things that were once
Considered proper and elegant

Are now considered
Stuffy and out-of-date.

Like what?

Like canapés
And cocktail parties

And the people
Who plan them.

Mom, what are
You talking about?

Nothing.
It's not important.

Mom, come on.

Jason decided to
Take the clients to
Atlantic city instead.

He thinks that's what
They would prefer to do.

He's probably right.
What do I know?

Did he know all the work
You put into this?

It's really not important,
Lorelai.

I do this
For your father.

I have done this for your father
For the last 36 years.

If he thinks that jason's right,
Then it's fine with me.

After all, now I don't have to
Worry about a party.

I can just relax
And hang out.

Mom.

Anyhow, I have to go.

I'm wasting all
My hanging-out time

Talking about
This silly party.

Send me those receipts
And I'll get you a check.

Okay, well, great.

Apologize to sookie
For me, will you?

Sure.

We'll see you girls
Friday night.

[ lulu laughs ]

Oh, my gosh,
That's so funny.

[ laughs ]

Luke.

Jesus!
Kirk, what are you doing?

I need your help.

I'm filling
The coffee here.

Look behind me.
What am I looking at?

Is she still there?
Who?

Lulu.
Is lulu still there?

You mean your date?
Yes, my date.
Who else would I mean?

Time is of the essence.

Yes, she's still there.

Are you sure?
Yes. Now get out
From behind my counter.

I don't know
What to do.

What are you talking about?
Everything seemed fine.

Exactly. Doesn't that
Seem weird to you?

No.
Really?

Yes, a little.
So what?

Why question it?
Go back over there.

I can't. I don't understand
What's happening.

She was looking
Directly at me.

At first I thought I had
Something on my lip,

But I brushed and brushed
And nothing.

She was just looking at me.
Well, that's good.

I have several small-talk
Subjects for the evening,

And I haven't used
One of them.

This is not
How it's supposed to go.

We're supposed to exhaust my
Prepared subjects immediately,

And then the minute
I go to the bathroom,

She is supposed to sneak out
And leave me here humiliated.

I've been to the bathroom three
Times, and I did not have to go,

And every time I came back,

She was there
And she was smiling.

Did you see her
Touch my arm?

What the hell
Was that all about?

I think that means
She likes you.

Shut up!
You take that back!

Kirk, I am not gonna
Fight with you

Over you not believing
This girl likes you

Because I'm a little fuzzy
On the "Why" myself.

But the bottom line
Is she does.

She does?
Yes, she's laughing
And smiling,

And buckle up, cowboy,
Because I think she might
Actually touch you again.

You think?
There's a frightening
Chance she might,

So my advice to you
Is to go back over there

And continue doing
What you've been doing.

I was doing my jon cryer from
"Pretty in pink" impression.

Duckie?
Yes, duckie --

Just getting to the "Try a
Little tenderness" moment.

You got plenty
Of ammo left.

Go back over there.

You think she likes me?

I think she likes you.

You think she likes me.

[ sighs ]

God help us one and all.

No, just leave another message
That I called.

Thank you.

Number 42, see ya.

You don't have to throw
Them all out, sookie.

I didn't. I've got 20
In the freezer.

Great.
And so do you.

Even better.
I already had
That money spent.

It was going towards a down
Payment on a safer car.

Now little davey will
Have to fend for himself

Rolling around in the back of
Daddy's truck.

Mom!
Kitchen.

Hold on, davey!
Daddy's coming to a sudden stop.

You're being dramatic.
But I'm so disappointed.

All that planning,
All that time,
All that broccoli.

I lost my tree.
What?

My study tree -- it's gone.
Someone stole it.

Someone stole a tree?

No, the tree's
Still there,

But today there was
This guy sitting there

And he would not
Give it up.

You'll figure something out.

Yes, I will figure out what my
Alternate profession will be

Because now I can't study,
I'm going to flunk out,

And I'm gonna have to
Give up all hope of being
A foreign correspondent.

I'm eating broccoli tarts
For the next four years.

What am I gonna do?

You are gonna suck it up.
What?

You're in college now.
If your study plan doesn't work,
Then come up with another one.

Figure it out,
But stop complaining
Because you're not two.

And sookie,
In pioneer times,

Kids traveled across the country
In covered wagons and survived.

I think little davey will
Live without his minivan.

Mom, why are you mad?

I have something I have to do.
I'll be back in a little while.

Have these damn tarts out of
Here by the time I get home!

Grab a fork.

Well, hello, digger stiles.

Lorelai gilmore,
You sure grew up good.

Oh, did I, digger? Thanks.
Why didn't you return my calls?

'cause I hadn't seen you yet.

Four times.
You never called me back.

I'll call you back now.
What's your number?
976-bite-me.

Okay, did you get that,
Ms. Lomay?

We need to talk.

In my office?
Great.

You know what?
You can go.

All right.
Good night, mr. Stiles.

Would you like
Something to drink?
No, thanks.

How you been?
Great.

Okay, small talk over.
I want you to know something --

You just can't waltz into
People's lives and take over.

I don't waltz at all. It's
Embarrassing and a little gay.

People were hired for
This party, who were
Counting on this money.

What party?
The launch party.

And I want to tell you
Something else --

My mother has been planning
These stupid parties for years,

And it was completely out of
Line for you to walk in there

And just crap all over
The whole thing

And make her feel
Obsolete and useless.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I never knew about the party.

They never told me.

Of course, because they're
Inconsiderate and self-centered,

And they've been that way for
Many years, so they have dibs.

You should have
Canceled your plans.

It was too late for that.

And I never called your mother
Obsolete, just cocktail parties.

Same thing.
I don't see how.

Jason, my mother
Is a corporate wife.

Her job is putting
These parties on,

And you put her out of work.

You know that.
Your mother does the same thing.

Imagine if you took these
Functions away from her.

What would she have left?

You embarrassed my mother
And made her feel small.

You canceled something she had
Been working on for days.

But I didn't know.

And then she had to
Fire me!

Why would she fire you?

Because I was the caterer.

Get out of town!

Yes, I have a partner
In a small catering company.

You cook?
I plan.

I had no idea how much chaos
My little weekend was causing.

No, because you didn't think.

Back in summer camp,
You never thought.

"Hey, if I stand up in this
Canoe, maybe it'll tip over."

That was the extent
Of your thought process.

You're still mad about that.
I was fully dressed.

I remember --
Green t-shirt, no bra.

I was the hero of cabin 5
For the rest of the summer.

You will apologize
To my mother.
Absolutely.

And you will let her
Throw that party.
Sorry.

Digger!
Umlauts!

The party is off.

I will apologize to emily,
But that is the best I can do.

I can't believe you
Just called me "Umlauts."

You called me digger
Three times before
I called you umlauts once.

Let my mother
Have her party!

I can't do it, but
I can take you out to
Dinner tomorrow night.

How do those two thoughts
Even coincide?

You'd have to be in my head,
But there was a track.

I'm not having dinner
With you.

Why not?

Because you just had me fired.
You insulted my mother.

I didn't know you and your
Mother were so close.

We're not.
You're being
Awfully protective.

Every family has a fredo.

My relationship with my mother
Is none of your business.

Then have dinner with me.
No!

Why not?
Because.

Your mother would hate it.

Yes, my mother would
Hate it.

A lot.

You suck.

Excuse me.

Remember me?

I got here first.

I know. I just wanted
To tell you

That I'm sorry
About the other day.

I got a little wound up
Because I do that sometimes.

I get too structured
And too serious

And I just have to adjust,

Because we're in college,
And college is about change,

And you have my study tree,

So I have to be okay
With that

And just learn to kind of
Go with the flow.

I just wanted
To tell you that,

And I'm sorry
If I interrupted you again.

That's okay.

I'll give you 20 bucks
For the tree.

You're gonna pay me
For the tree?

Go with the flow, man.
You're on.
