Gilmore Girls (2000–2007): Season 1, Episode 8 - Love and War and Snow - full transcript
It's snowing, and Lorelai is giddy. She runs into Max in Stars Hollow, and invites him back to her place. But they run into someone unexpected when they get there. Lane feels left-out of Rory's life.
THIS TOWN MEETING
WILL COME TO ORDER.
NO ONE IS LISTENING TO ME.
OH, TAYLOR, CALM DOWN.
I CAN'T CALM DOWN.
I'M BEING PERSECUTED.
I PROMISED THAT WE'D HEAR YOU.
WE'VE BEEN HEARING
YOU FOR 20 MINUTES.
WELL, EXCUSE ME, ANDREW, BUT
SOME OF US HAVE BUSINESSES TO RUN
THAT DON'T INVOLVE PEDDLING
DRUG PARAPHERNALIA TO KIDS.
IT WAS A LAVA LAMP, TAYLOR.
THERE IS NO USE FOR A LAVA
LAMP UNLESS YOU'RE ON DRUGS.
OH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
NOW, WE'VE ALREADY AGREED
TO LOOK INTO YOUR
ACCUSATION BUT TO JUST...
WHAT'D I MISS?
TAYLOR DOOSE WANTS
THE NO-PARKING ZONE
IN FRONT OF HIS STORE REMOVED.
HE SAYS HIS CUSTOMERS
ARE BEING UNFAIRLY TICKETED.
NO, IT'S JUST BECAUSE HE
WANTS TO PARK THERE ALL DAY.
GENIUS.
I HAVE BEEN MAYOR OF THIS
FINE TOWN FOR A LONG TIME.
I TEND TO THINK OF ALL
OF YOU AS MY CHILDREN.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES
CHILDREN HAVE TO BE DISCIPLINED.
NOW, I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING,
AND I'M ONLY GONNA SAY IT ONCE.
WE HAVE LEASH LAWS, PEOPLE.
DADDY'S GETTING ANGRY.
ROVER WILL NOT LEASH HIMSELF.
GOOD POINT.
I WOULD LIKE TO NOW MOVE ON TO
SOMETHING OF EVEN GREATER IMPORTANCE.
AS YOU ALL KNOW,
THIS COMING FRIDAY
IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE
LEGENDARY BATTLE OF STARS HOLLOW.
WHERE'S LUKE?
THERE.
PATTY WILL BE CIRCULATING
A SIGN-UP SHEET
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE REENACTMENT
OF THE AFORESAID BATTLE.
HE'S TURNING RED. OH! OH!
ALL RIGHT.
"IT WAS A FRIGID NOVEMBER
NIGHT, SOME 224 YEARS AGO..."
HE'S SHIFTING IN HIS SEAT.
"STARS HOLLOW MILITIA STOOD
IN WAIT FOR THE REDCOATS."
HE'S ADJUSTING THE CAP.
"TIRED AND HUNGRY, 12 PROUD MEN
TOOK THEIR POSITIONS
IN THE TOWN SQUARE."
HE'S FIGHTING THE URGE.
HE'S FIGHTING THE URGE.
"AND IMMINENT DEATH IN
THEIR VALIANT EFFORTS..."
FOR GOD'S SAKE, DO WE HAVE TO
GO THROUGH THIS EVERY DAMN YEAR?
YES! AND THE URGE
WINS BY A LONG SHOT.
I THOUGHT WE WERE HERE
TO DISCUSS TOWN ISSUES.
THIS IS A TOWN ISSUE.
EXCUSE ME, WHO'S TALKING?
IT'S ME, HARRY. LUKE. YOU'VE
KNOWN ME SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD.
OH, LUKE, YES.
SIT DOWN.
NOW, AS I WAS
SAYING: "12 HEROIC MEN
ASSEMBLED WITH GUNS DRAWN,
READY TO MEET THEIR MAKER..."
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
12 GUYS STOOD IN
A ROW ALL NIGHT.
"WAITING FOR THE REDCOATS..."
WHO NEVER SHOWED!
NOW, JUST...
12 GUYS STOOD IN A ROW ALL NIGHT
WAITING FOR AN ENEMY THAT NEVER SHOWED.
THEY GOT STOOD UP. THEY SHOULD'VE
BEEN WEARING PROM DRESSES.
I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT
ENOUGH OF THIS.
SIT DOWN, TAYLOR!
MENACE.
SUCK UP.
$5 SAYS SOMEBODY ENDS
UP IN A HEADLOCK. YOU'RE ON.
HAVE ANY OF YOU
CONSIDERED THE FACT
THAT YOU'RE GLORIFYING
A WAR WE FOUGHT
SO WE COULD KEEP
LAND THAT WE STOLE?
IF YOU DON'T LIKE
IT HERE IN AMERICA,
WHY DON'T YOU GO STAND IN LINE
FOR TOILET PAPER IN THE U.S.S.R.?
THERE IS NO MORE
U.S.S.R., HARRY.
A SENSE OF COMMUNITY
IS SO IMPORTANT, ISN'T IT?
IT'S WHAT MADE
OUR COUNTRY GREAT.
IF YOU'RE SO
INTERESTED IN FACTS.
♪ IF YOU'RE OUT ON THE ROAD ♪

LORELAI, IT'S MAX.
MEDINA. MAX MEDINA.
AND ONCE AGAIN
WE MISS EACH OTHER.
IT'S NOW 2:00 IN THE
AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY,
AND I'M IN MY OFFICE
GRADING A PAPER ENTITLED:
EMILY DICKINSON, GET A LIFE.
ANYHOW, AS I SIT HERE
LOSING MY FAITH IN MANKIND,
I WONDER IF WE'RE EVER GONNA
ACTUALLY GO ON THAT DATE
WE TALKED ABOUT MANY MOONS AGO.
I TEACH A NIGHT CLASS IN
STAMFORD TWICE A WEEK,
AND WHEN I PASS THAT STARS
HOLLOW SIGN ON THE TURNPIKE,
I THINK, "OUT THERE
IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
THAT I SOMEDAY HOPE
TO SPEND TIME WITH."
ANYHOW, I'M JUST
THINKING ABOUT YOU.
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE NEXT
WEEK WE CAN FIND SOME TIME.
BYE, LORELAI GILMORE.
YOU KNEW THAT. OK, BYE.
LORELAI, IT'S MAX.
MEDINA. MAX MEDINA.
MOM?
AND ONCE AGAIN
WE MISS EACH OTHER.
SORRY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP?
I COULDN'T SLEEP.
IT'S FREEZING IN HERE.
WAIT. CLOSE YOUR
EYES AND BREATHE.
I SMELL SNOW.
AAH. IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR.
CAN'T YOU SMELL IT?
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE DOGS
AND HIGH-PITCHED NOISES.
I THINK IT'S SOMETHING
ONLY YOU CAN SMELL.
I LOVE SNOW.
REALLY? I HAD NO IDEA.
EVERYTHING'S MAGICAL
WHEN IT SNOWS.
EVERYTHING LOOKS PRETTY.
THE CLOTHES ARE GREAT.
COATS, SCARVES, GLOVES, HATS.
THERMAL UNDERWEAR,
WOOL SOCKS, EARFLAPS.
DO YOU KNOW THE BEST THINGS IN MY
LIFE HAVE HAPPENED WHEN IT SNOWED?
WHY, YES, I DO.
MY BEST BIRTHDAY.
YOUR FIRST KISS.
YOUR FIRST STEPS. THEY ALL
HAPPENED WHEN IT SNOWED.
FEET.
I FEEL GOOD. TINGLY.
THAT'S CALLED FROSTBITE.
YOU ARE MOCKING YOUR MOTHER,
THE WOMAN WHO BIRTHED YOU.
I'M SORRY.
DURING A SNOWSTORM, MIGHT I ADD.
SO HOW SOON IS IT
SUPPOSED TO HIT?
TOMORROW. DEFINITELY TOMORROW.
OK, THEN TOMORROW IT IS.
WHAT?
YOU, ME, DOUGHNUTS, COFFEE,
STANDING OUT IN A
SNOWSTORM. AT MIDNIGHT?
AT MIDNIGHT.
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE DAUGHTER.
SO HOW MANY TIMES ARE
YOU GONNA LISTEN TO THAT?
TILL IT STOPS BEING SEXY.
STOP. THAT'S MY TEACHER
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I HAVE TO RESPECT HIM.
OK, WELL, IF IT MAKES
YOU FEEL ANY BETTER,
WHILE HE'S BEING SEXY, HE'S ALSO
BEING GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT.
BETTER. THANK YOU.
SORRY, I WOKE YOU UP.
IT'S OK. IT'S ALL FODDER
FOR THE TELL-ALL.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
LORELAI, IT'S MAX.
MEDINA. MAX MEDINA.
HEY, HOW IS IT OUT THERE?
IT IS COLD AND GRAY,
LIKE A FAT, DEAD PIGEON.
WE'LL PULL OUT THE SLEDS.
PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO SLED.
OH, AND WE'LL NEED THE PARKAS.
FOR WHAT? IN CASE
ANYONE WANTS TO HIKE.
YOU KNOW, NOT
EVERYONE FINDS THE IDEA
OF BEING PELTED WITH
FROZEN WATER APPEALING.
I KNOW, AND HOW SAD FOR THEM.
THE THRILLING SENSATION
OF GETTING LOST IN A BLIZZARD,
OF FREEZING TO
DEATH IN THE WOODS,
AND HAVING TO EAT YOUR
FRIEND'S BUTTOCKS TO STAY ALIVE:
THAT IS LOST ON MANY PEOPLE.
I AM TELLING YOU, 5
MINUTES IN A SNOWBALL FIGHT,
WE COULD KNOCK THAT
STICK RIGHT OUT OF YOUR BUTT.
OK, HOW DOES THIS SOUND?
MAPLE-SUGAR SNOWFLAKES
ON ALL THE PILLOWS?
OH, THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL!
MAKE THEM IN THE SHAPE OF A
BUTTOCK TO GET PEOPLE USED TO THEM.
IS THAT A REAL SUGGESTION?
SOOKIE, PLEASE, WHO IS SPEAKING?
MICHEL, RIGHT, OK.
SNOWFLAKES IT IS.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I MEAN, I SAT NEXT TO HIM
IN PRACTICE, FOR MONTHS.
AND THEN ONE DAY I LOOK
OVER, AND IT'S... IT'S RICH.
RICH BLOOMENFELD.
WHERE IS MY CHEMISTRY BOOK?
I HAD IT AT YOUR HOUSE
YESTERDAY, DIDN'T I?
RORY, FOCUS, PLEASE.
I'M SORRY. I JUST
CAN'T FIND MY BOOK.
HEY, BABE.
SERGEANT PEPPER.
MOM, DO YOU KNOW WHERE MY...
BIG SCARY CHEMISTRY
BOOK IS? BEHIND THE DESK.
OH, THANK GOD.
WOW!
YEAH.
SO, IS SOOKIE IN THE KITCHEN?
AND THERE SHE'LL STAY.
OK. SO, WHERE WERE WE?
I JUST MET MY SOUL MATE.
RIGHT. RICH BLOOMENFELD.
DOES HE STILL WEAR
THE STAR TREK SHIRT?
NOW, REMEMBER, YOU DO NOT TAKE
YOUR EYES OFF THIS FOR A MINUTE.
'CAUSE THE SECOND YOU DO, IT
WILL BOIL, AND THEN IT'S RUINED.
SO JUST STAND THERE
AND STARE AT IT, OK?
HEY, SOOKIE.
HEY, KITTY-CATS. CINNAMON
BUNS ARE OVER THERE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THOSE ROCKY
ROAD COOKIES THAT YOU MADE YESTERDAY?
I CAN SCROUNGE SOME UP.
LANE, YOU NEED A BAG?
NO, THANK YOU.
ARE YOU STARING? I'M STARING.
THANK YOU.
SO, ANYHOW, RICH
HAS THIS AMAZING HAIR.
REALLY?
OH, MY GOD. IT'S SO PERFECT.
IT'S THICK, BUT
IT'S NOT TOO THICK,
AND IT'S GOT REALLY
GOOD NATURAL WAVE.
SO HE PROBABLY USES WAY
LESS PRODUCT THAN MOST GUYS.
ALWAYS A PLUS.
HEY, WHAT TIME IS IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVE TO GET TO THE BUS STOP.
DEAN'S MEETING ME THERE.
I'M TRYING TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT THIS.
I KNOW. WE'LL TALK ON THE WAY.
HERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU, SOOKIE.
SWEETS, I HAVE A LOCKSMITH
COMING TO THE HOUSE TODAY, LIKE 5:00,
AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE.
SO TELL GRANDMA AND
GRANDPA I'LL BE LATE,
AND THAT I'M HAVING
SATAN'S BABY?
YOU PICK THE ORDER.
I'LL RELAY THE TIME MESSAGE BUT
I'M LEAVING THE REST UP TO YOU.
WHAT IS THIS? YOU HATE
ROCKY ROAD COOKIES. I DO NOT.
I'M SORRY. THAT MUST BE MY
OTHER DAUGHTER, SHMORY.
WE'RE LEAVING NOW.
WAIT A MINUTE.
I KNOW WHO LIKES
ROCKY ROAD COOKIES.
WHO?
DEAN. THEY'RE FOR DEAN.
SHE'S BRINGING BAKED
GOODS TO A BOY. WOW, SERIOUS.
HERE, DEAN, THESE COOKIES ARE
FOR YOU, BECAUSE YOU'RE KEEN.
STOP.
RORY'S IN LOVE!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,
DEAN, DEAN, DEAN.
LOVE, AND THE DEAN, AND
THE COOKIES FOR THE LOVE.
LOVE, AND THE DEAN, AND
THE COOKIES FOR THE LOVE.
AND THE LOVE, AND THE DEAN,
AND THE LOVE, AND THE DEAN.
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN
STOP. SHE'S GONE NOW.
BUT IT'S FUN.
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
COOKIES FOR THE DEAN, AND
THE ROCK, COOKIES FOR THE LOVE...
I JUST... I JUST
CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I'VE KNOWN HIM SINCE THE 6TH
GRADE, BUT SUDDENLY HE'S DIFFERENT.
HE'S NOT GANGLY ANYMORE.
YOU REMEMBER HOW GANGLY HE WAS?
I'M SORRY, WHAT?
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME.
I AM. I'M SORRY.
I JUST COULDN'T
FIND MY BOOKMARK.
OK, GO AHEAD. OK.
HERE ARE THE PROBLEMS FACING THE
WHOLE BLOOMENFELD-KIM SITUATION.
HYPHENATION WOULD BE A PAIN.
HE'S MY BAND PARTNER.
ROMANCE WOULD BE
COMPLETELY AWKWARD.
HE'S NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT ME
LIKE I'M A GIRL OR
SOMETHING RESEMBLING ONE.
THERE'S NO WAY I COULD CONVINCE
MY PARENTS HE WAS KOREAN.
BUT I CAN'T HELP
IT. I'M OBSESSED.
DID I TELL YOU ABOUT HIS HAIR?
IT'S ON HIS HEAD, RIGHT?
HI. HI.
LANE.
DEAN.
NICE HAT.
HERE.
HOW... HOW'D YOU LIKE IT?
WELL, I COULD TELL YOU,
BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU.
AHA! YOU LIKED IT.
YOU LIKED JANE AUSTEN.
I KNEW YOU WOULD.
LANE, DEAN LIKES JANE AUSTEN.
WOW, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT?
I TOLD HIM HE WOULD,
BUT HE WAS ALL:
"FORGET JANE AUSTEN. YOU
HAVE TO READ HUNTER THOMPSON."
YOU DO HAVE TO READ
HUNTER THOMPSON.
NOT AS MUCH AS YOU
NEEDED TO READ JANE AUSTEN.
YEAH, YEAH.
WHAT'S THAT?
JUST SOME COOKIES.
ROCKY ROAD.
YEAH.
WOW, SHE BRINGS ME COOKIES.
HOW CAN I REPAY HER?
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE
CHARLOTTE BRONTE?
HOW ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?
THAT'S GOOD, TOO.
OK, I GOTTA GO.
I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR HOMEROOM.
I HAVE THAT PERFECT-ATTENDANCE
CERTIFICATE IN MY SIGHTS.
SEE YOU LATER.
YEAH, SEE YOU.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WE HAVE FLAKES.
FLAKES HAVE BEEN SIGHTED.
"FLAKEAGE," IF YOU
WILL, HAS BEGUN.
MICHEL, IT'S THE FIRST
SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON.
IT'S VERY LUCKY. MAKE A WISH.
GET AWAY FROM ME.
OH, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO SAY IT OUT LOUD.
INDEPENDENCE INN.
THE WORLD CHANGES WHEN IT SNOWS.
IT GETS QUIET.
EVERYTHING SOFTENS.
IT'S YOUR MOTHER.
AND THEN THE RAIN COMES.
HI, MOM.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS?
EVER?
A BAD STORM'S HEADING YOUR WAY.
IT'S ALREADY HITTING US HERE.
WELL, DON'T PANIC, I'LL GET
THE ARK, YOU GET THE ANIMALS.
I JUST SENT LANCE TO
PICK UP RORY AT SCHOOL.
THE ROADS ARE TERRIBLE.
BLACK ICE EVERYWHERE.
IT'S JUST A MESS OUT THERE.
I HATE THIS KIND OF WEATHER.
SO, ANYHOW, WHAT
TIME WILL YOU GET HERE?
WELL, GEE, MOM, I
DON'T KNOW, LET'S SEE.
BLACK ICE, TREACHEROUS ROADS.
I GUESS I'LL JUST PUT ON MY
RED-WHITE-AND-BLUE LEOTARD,
GRAB MY GOLDEN LASSO,
AND FLY THE INVISIBLE PLANE.
YOU'RE NOT COMING.
IF IT'S AS BAD AS YOU SAY IT IS,
I DON'T SEE HOW I'D GET THERE.
WELL, I GUESS IT'LL JUST
BE THE 3 OF US THEN.
I GUESS SO.
YOU KNOW, RORY SHOULD PROBABLY
SPEND THE NIGHT TONIGHT, ALSO.
OK.
AND IF IT'S STILL
BAD TOMORROW...
WHY DON'T YOU SEE
WHAT THE WEATHER DOES
BEFORE YOU FILL OUT A
CHANGE-OF-ADDRESS CARD.
HEY, GRANDMA.
RORY'S HERE. PUT HER ON A SEC.
RORY, IT'S YOUR MOTHER.
HEY.
HI.
THINGS BAD OUT THERE, HUH?
IT'S CRAZY.
SNOW COMING DOWN EVERYWHERE
AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU, SADDLE SHOES
ARE NOT THE BEST ALL-WEATHER FOOTWEAR.
OH, YOU FELL.
TWICE.
YIKES. I'M SORRY.
WHAT'S THE DEAL? ARE
YOU COMING OVER TONIGHT?
NO, I GUESS, I'M PRETTY MUCH
STUCK IN THE HOLLOW TONIGHT.
BUMMER. WELL, WE CAN TAKE
OUR SNOW WALK TOMORROW NIGHT?
ABSOLUTELY.
NOW, HONEY, TELL
GRANDMA YOU ARRIVED THERE
NOT A MEMBER OF
THE JUNIOR LEAGUE.
I'D LIKE YOU TO LEAVE
THERE THE SAME WAY.
CALL IF YOU GET LONELY.
I WILL. BYE.
HARRY, COME ON, STOP THIS BEFORE
SOMEBODY DRIVES THROUGH TOWN
AND THINKS THE LOCAL MENTAL
INSTITUTION HAS BAD PADLOCKS.
LUKE, YOU OUGHT TO BE
ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
YOUR FATHER WAS A REENACTOR.
YES, AND I THOUGHT
HE WAS CRAZY ALSO.
WHO'S STEPPING ON MY MUSKET?
THAT'D BE ME.
WELL, STOP IT.
THERE GOES THE FIRE
CHIEF, THE POLICE CHIEF,
AND THE ONE PARAMEDIC WITH A
VALID LICENSE. I FEEL SAFE. DON'T YOU?
LOOK AT THEM. ALL
RELATIVELY INTELLIGENT MEN,
BUT THERE THEY ARE,
DRESSED UP IN COSTUMES,
STANDING OUT IN A
SNOWSTORM, AND FOR WHAT?
BECAUSE IT'S TRADITION.
TRADITION IS A TRAP
THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE
TO STICK THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND.
EVERYTHING IN THE PAST
WAS SO QUAINT, SO CHARMING.
TIMES WERE SIMPLER.
KIDS DIDN'T HAVE SEX.
NEIGHBORS KNEW EACH OTHER.
IT'S A FREAKING FAIRY TALE.
THINGS SUCKED THEN, TOO.
IT SUCKED WITHOUT
INDOOR PLUMBING.
I THINK SOME
TRADITIONS ARE NICE.
BIRTHDAYS, HOLIDAYS,
TAKING A WALK IN THE
FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON.
I DIDN'T GET THE HALLMARK
CARD FOR THAT ONE.
WHEN I WAS 5, I HAD A
REALLY BAD EAR INFECTION,
AND I HAD BEEN HOME IN BED
FOR A WEEK, AND I WAS VERY SAD.
SO I WISHED REALLY HARD THAT SOMETHING
WONDERFUL WOULD HAPPEN TO ME.
AND I WOKE UP THE NEXT
MORNING, AND IT HAD SNOWED.
AND I WAS SURE THAT SOME FAIRY
GODMOTHER HAD DONE IT JUST FOR ME.
IT WAS MY LITTLE PRESENT.
YOUR PARENTS NEVER EXPLAINED
THE CONCEPT OF WEATHER TO YOU?
I AM MAKING A POINT,
MOUTHY McGEE.
OF COURSE, MANY
YEARS LATER, I REALIZED
THAT LOGICALLY, THE SNOW WAS
NOT THERE FOR ME PERSONALLY.
BUT STILL, WHEN IT SNOWS,
SOMETHING INSIDE ME SAYS,
"HEY, THAT'S YOUR PRESENT."
I DON'T THINK IT'LL EVER CHANGE.
MY FATHER USED TO
BE ONE OF THOSE GUYS.
YEAH?
YEAH, HE EVEN HAD
HIS OWN MUSKET.
REALLY?
NEVER HAD TO RENT IT.
WHERE'S THE MUSKET NOW?
HE WAS BURIED WITH IT.
WOW!
YEAH, HE LOVED THAT MUSKET.
THAT'S NICE, IN A
DISTURBING SORT OF WAY.
COME ON IN. I'LL GET
YOU SOME COFFEE.
NO, THANKS.
I'M GONNA WALK AROUND.
ENJOY MY PRESENT A LITTLE.
PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PLEASE
GET INTO FORMATION.
HATS ON AND
INSTRUMENTS IN PLACE.
DO NOT, I REPEAT,
DO NOT ACTUALLY PUT
INSTRUMENTS TO YOUR MOUTHS
UNTIL WE ARE INSIDE.
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE FLAUTIST LAST YEAR.
OH!
I SMELL SNOW.
WELL, WELL, WELL.
WHAT'S UP, TEACH?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I LIVE HERE. WHAT
ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I WAS ON MY WAY
BACK FROM STAMFORD.
MY CAR DECIDED TO STOP.
HERE? YES.
IN MY TOWN? YES.
GOOD CAR.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU.
YOU, TOO.
YOU KNOW, A MINUTE AGO I WAS
REALLY ANGRY ABOUT SOMETHING,
AND NOW I... I JUST CAN'T
REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS.
THAT'S SNOW FOR YOU.
I GUESS SO.
SO, THIS IS QUITE A
PREDICAMENT YOU'RE IN.
STRANDED HERE IN A STRANGE
TOWN, WITH NO ONE YOU KNOW.
OH, WAIT.
WHERE'S RORY TONIGHT?
SHE'S IN HARTFORD
WITH HER GRANDPARENTS.
THAT MUST BE NICE.
WHATEVER YOU SAY.
SO RORY'S IN HARTFORD? YES.
AND I'M IN STARS
HOLLOW. CORRECT.
AND YOU'RE...
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE I SHOULD TAKE YOU.
NO, NO, WHERE I SHOULD TAKE YOU.
THIS IS MY TOWN. YOU
KNOW NOTHING AROUND HERE.
NO, BUT I WAS THE ONE WHO
ASKED YOU OUT INITIALLY.
SO, THEREFORE, I AM STILL
OBLIGATED TO DO THE TAKING.
YES, BUT I WAS THE ONE WHO DID THE
CANCELING AFTER YOU DID THE ASKING.
THEREFORE, YOU FORFEIT YOUR
TAKING RIGHTS TO ME, THE CANCELLER.
SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DO THIS?
YES, WE ARE.
LET ME JUST GIVE THIS GUY
MY KEYS, AND THEN WE'LL GO.
GREAT.
"GREAT" IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
YOU WAITED SO LATE TO CALL.
ARE YOU SURE?
FINE.
ALL RIGHT. YES, GOODBYE.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GONNA DO NOW.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, EMILY?
THE PROBLEM IS THAT
APPARENTLY FLORENCE
CANNOT GET HERE
BECAUSE OF THE STORM.
FLORENCE?
OUR COOK.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO GO OUT, THEN.
OH, PLEASE, RICHARD,
PAY ATTENTION.
WE CAN'T GO OUT. IT'S
MISERABLE OUT THERE.
WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT THEN.
WHAT? WHAT WILL WE FIGURE OUT?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT...
I HATE THE DAMN SNOW.
EMILY, CALM DOWN.
THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
THESE FRIDAY DINNERS
ARE THE ONLY PROPER FOOD
THAT CHILD EATS ALL WEEK.
RORY, ARE YOU IN ANY
WAY MALNOURISHED,
OR IN NEED OF SOME
INTERNATIONAL RELIEF ORGANIZATION
TO RECRUIT A CELEBRITY
TO RAISE MONEY ON YOUR ACCOUNT?
I'M GOOD.
SHE'S GOOD, EMILY.
YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR
REARS ITS UGLY HEAD
AT THE ODDEST OF TIMES, RICHARD.
EMILY, I'M NOT THE
MASTERMIND BEHIND
SOME GREAT SCHEME TO
SPOIL YOUR DINNER PLANS,
AND I DON'T CARE TO
BE TREATED AS SUCH.
SO YOU'RE FINE WITH HAVING
NO DINNER TONIGHT, IS THAT IT?
I CERTAINLY AM NOT.
HEY, HOW ABOUT I
CHECK THE FRIDGE?
I'M SURE THERE'S SOMETHING
IN THERE WE COULD WHIP UP.
WHIP UP?
YEAH, COME ON.
IT'LL BE FUN, I PROMISE.
WELL, COME ON,
MR. WE'LL-FIGURE-IT-OUT.
NOTHING.
NOT A BLESSED THING.
HEY, THERE'S FROZEN PIZZA.
HOW DID THAT GET THERE?
MAYBE YOU BOUGHT IT
AND FORGOT ABOUT IT.
I'VE NEVER BOUGHT FROZEN
PIZZA. IT MUST BELONG TO ANNA.
THE MAID. YES.
GOT ONE!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M GONNA MAKE IT.
OH, RORY, YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS?
THAT HARDLY LOOKS LIKE DINNER.
I AGREE. RORY,
THAT'S FOOD YOU EAT
AT A CARNIVAL OR
IN A TURKISH PRISON.
I PROMISE YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT.
BUT...
LISTEN, JUST LEAVE IT UP TO ME.
YOU GUYS GO BACK
INTO THE LIVING ROOM,
AND I'LL CALL YOU
WHEN IT'S READY.
HEY, GRANDMA?
YES?
WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF YOU KNOWING
WHERE A COOKIE SHEET WOULD BE?
I'D SAY VERY SLIM.
NEVER MIND. I'LL FIND IT.
VERY SLIM? THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THANK YOU. HOLD THAT.
THANKS.
THANKS.
GOD, IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL NIGHT, HUH?
YES, IT IS.
SO, TELL ME SOMETHING
ABOUT YOURSELF.
LIKE WHAT?
UM, HAVE YOU EVER
BEEN MARRIED? NOPE.
EVER BEEN CLOSE? ONCE.
AND? SHE'S IN THAILAND NOW.
SEX TRADE? BANK OF AMERICA.
IT'S USUALLY ONE OR THE OTHER.
SHE WENT THERE ON BUSINESS.
SHE DID WELL. SHE NEVER CAME BACK.
OH, SAD.
IT WAS, AT THE TIME. BUT
IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE...
OH, HE BELIEVES IN FATE.
FATE, POETRY, LOVE.
THEY ALL GO
TOGETHER, DON'T THEY?
YES, THEY DO.
HOW ABOUT YOU? OH,
I'VE NEVER BEEN MARRIED.
EVER BEEN CLOSE?
UH, RORY'S DAD PROPOSED.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE BELL RANG. I WAS
LATE FOR CHEM LAB.
YOU EVER SORRY THAT YOU DIDN'T?
OH, NO. WE WERE SO YOUNG
AND MY LIFE WOULD'VE
BEEN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T LIVE
HERE. I WOULDN'T WORK HERE.
I WOULDN'T BE
WALKING HERE WITH YOU.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
YOU'LL SEE.
ARE WE GONNA GET
THERE BEFORE WE FREEZE?
NOW, WHAT KIND
OF FUN WOULD IT BE
IF I TOLD YOU THE ANSWER?
YOU'RE CRAZY. VERY POSSIBLE.
AND I'M FOLLOWING
YOU. YES, YOU ARE.
SO POSSIBLY, I'M
CRAZIER THAN YOU ARE.
AGAIN, VERY POSSIBLE.
A MATCH MADE IN
HEAVEN. OR IN BELLEVUE.
IT MUST BE FATE.
OH, THIS IS GETTING
RIDICULOUS, AARON.
I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO HAVE
THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH A CHILD!
YES, HE IS A CHILD.
WELL, WHEN HE'S WORKED
30 YEARS AT THE COMPANY,
THAT'S WHEN HE'S NOT A CHILD.
UNTIL THEN, I DON'T CARE
WHAT HIS OPINIONS ARE.
AARON, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?
GOOD, BECAUSE I'M
HANGING UP ON YOU NOW,
AND I WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU HEARD IT.
WHAT A MORON.
HELLO, RORY?
LANE?
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M AT MY GRANDPARENTS'. WHAT
ARE YOU DOING AT MY HOUSE?
LIKE YOU CARE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU'RE NEVER AROUND
WHEN I NEED YOU.
YOU KNOW I HAVE TO GO TO
MY GRANDPARENTS' ON FRIDAYS.
I KNOW! YOU GO TO
YOUR GRANDPARENTS'.
YOU GO TO CHILTON.
YOU HAVE TO MEET DEAN.
HE NEEDS HIS COOKIES.
"I CAN'T FIND MY BOOKS."
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT GOOD IS IT TO HAVE A BEST
FRIEND WHEN SHE'S NEVER AROUND?
AND SHE NEVER LISTENS,
AND SHE HAS NO INTEREST
IN THE FACT THAT YOU'RE IN
LOVE, OR YOU TOUCHED HIS HAIR?
YOU TOUCHED WHOSE HAIR?
RICH BLOOMENFELD.
WHY WOULD YOU TOUCH
RICH BLOOMENFELD'S HAIR?
WHY? THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW WHY.
WHY WOULD A SANE PERSON DO A
THING LIKE THAT? MAYBE I'M NOT SANE.
MAYBE I'M GOING THROUGH
SOME SORT OF A PHASE.
MAYBE I REALLY, REALLY NEEDED
SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS,
AND YOU WEREN'T THERE.
LANE, COME ON.
NO, YOU COME ON.
YOU'RE ALWAYS AT SCHOOL, OR
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SCHOOL.
OR YOU'RE WITH DEAN.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
NOW, AND I HAVE NOTHING.
EXCEPT FOR 2,000 KOREAN BIBLES,
AND A POTENTIAL
"F" IN JAZZ BAND.
I'M SORRY.
DON'T BE SORRY. BE HERE.
I'M...
LANE? ARE YOU THERE?
RORY? RORY?
LANE? THERE YOU ARE.
I THINK THE PHONES WENT DEAD.
IT'S PROBABLY JUST
THIS HORRIBLE STORM.
YOU MUST COME
DOWNSTAIRS IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
THE STOVE IS BUZZING.
IT'S JUST THE TIMER, GRANDMA.
I KNOW IT'S THE TIMER, RORY. WHAT I
DON'T KNOW IS WHERE IT'S LOCATED
OR HOW TO TURN IT OFF.
BUT I REALLY NEED
TO CALL LANE BACK.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
NOW. THE PHONES'LL COME BACK.
NOW PLEASE, COME DOWNSTAIRS
AND HELP ME STOP THE BUZZING.
BUT...
EMILY, GET DOWN HERE!
OK, LET'S GO.
SO, THE FIESTA BURGER.
VERY INTERESTING.
VERY SPICY?
OH, YEAH.
HOW'S YOUR TONGUE?
MUCH BETTER, THANK YOU.
ARE YOU SCARED YET?
NOT YET.
ARE YOU SCARED YET?
I'M STILL GOOD.
ARE YOU SCARED YET?
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE VERY
ANNOYING IN A MOVIE.
I KNOW.
I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT YOU KNOW MY FAULTS,
AS WELL AS MY MANY ATTRIBUTES.
VERY THOUGHTFUL OF YOU.
IT IS, ISN'T IT?
BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW,
YOU CAN GET CARRIED AWAY
BY YOUR MANY ATTRIBUTES.
AND SUDDENLY FIND YOURSELF
THINKING, "OH, MY GOD!
THIS WOMAN IS
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT."
WE WOULDN'T WANT
THAT, NOW, WOULD WE?
NO, WE WOULDN'T.

HMM.
YOU WANT TO EAT IT
BEFORE IT GETS COLD.
HOW IS IT?
NOT COLD.
HMM. IT'S QUITE TASTY.
EMILY, WE SHOULD
HAVE THIS MORE OFTEN.
WHAT?
PERHAPS INSTEAD OF THAT HORRIBLE
SALMON THAT KEEPS SHOWING UP.
THAT SALMON IS A FINE DELICACY.
HMM. PO-TAY-TO, PO-TAH-TO.
TRY IT AGAIN, GRANDMA.
IT'S PROBABLY COOLER NOW.
NO, THANK YOU. I'M FINE.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S REALLY GOOD IF YOU ADD
SOME EXTRA PARMESAN TO IT.
THIS IS MOM'S SPECIAL TRICK.
FROZEN PIZZA IS A
STAPLE AT OUR HOUSE.
MOM'S BECOME A MAJOR DOCTORING
GENIUS. SHE'LL PUT ANYTHING ON IT.
ONE TIME SOOKIE CAME AND
BROUGHT US SOME FOIE GRAS,
AND MOM STUCK IT ON A PIZZA.
HOW WAS IT?
PRETTY GOOD, ONCE WE
TOOK THE FOIE GRAS OFF.
OK, THAT'S GOOD.
TRY IT. PLEASE?
IF YOU WANT TO GET REALLY
CRAZY, YOU CAN PICK IT UP.
WELL, ALL RIGHT.
HERE GOES NOTHING.
MMM! THAT'S WONDERFUL!
SEE?
RORY, PASS ME THAT CHEESE.
TRUST ME.
IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
I FOUND THIS IN MOM'S ROOM.
WHAT'S THAT?
PICTURES.
OH, MY GOODNESS, I
HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN YEARS.
OH, MY GOSH.
OH! LOOK AT THIS.
THAT'S ONE FLUFFY WHITE DRESS.
YES, THERE WERE 12
PETTICOATS UNDERNEATH IT.
WE GOT IT IN LONDON,
REMEMBER, RICHARD?
SHE LOOKS LIKE
A LITTLE PRINCESS.
YES. WELL, IF MEMORY SERVES,
I BELIEVE ABOUT 2 MINUTES
AFTER THAT PICTURE,
HER HIGHNESS DUMPED A GLASS
OF GRAPE JUICE ALL OVER IT.
LOOK, EMILY, IT'S HOPEY.
HOPEY? MY YOUNGER SISTER.
HAS SHE BEEN HERE WHEN I
WAS HERE? DON'T REMEMBER HER.
OH, SHE LIVES IN PARIS.
OUR GREAT EXPATRIATE.
OH, MY HOPEY, LOOK AT YOU.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER
IN SUCH A LONG TIME.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
TAKE A TRIP THIS YEAR.
THAT WOULD BE NICE.
MAYBE RORY COULD GO WITH US.
I'LL START PACKING TOMORROW.
OH, IS THAT YOU GUYS?
YES, IT IS.
THAT IS OUR WEDDING PICTURE.
THAT'S AN AMAZING DRESS.
IT SHOULD'VE BEEN. MY
MOTHER HAD 3 SEAMSTRESSES
WORKING ROUND
THE CLOCK MAKING IT.
YOU STILL HAVE IT?
IT'S UPSTAIRS PACKED
AWAY SOMEWHERE.
I'LL SAVE IT FOR
YOU IF YOU LIKE.
OH, EMILY. RORY'S TOO YOUNG
TO BE THINKING ABOUT
THINGS LIKE THAT.
OH, PLEASE. EVERY YOUNG
GIRL THINKS ABOUT HER WEDDING.
I KNOW I DID.
I KNEW WHEN I WAS 12 THAT I
WANTED LILIES AND ORCHIDS
WITH A SILVER BOW WRAPPED
AROUND THEM FOR MY BOUQUET.
YOU ALSO KNEW THAT YOU
WANTED TO MARRY ERROL FLYNN.
OH, REALLY?
GRANDMA HAD A THING
FOR THE PIRATE GUY?
I DID NOT HAVE A THING FOR THE
PIRATE GUY. SHE WAS MAD ABOUT HIM.
SHE EVEN TRIED TO GET ME TO GROW
ONE OF THOSE LITTLE MUSTACHES.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
SHE WANTED ME TO
SWING FROM A CHANDELIER.
NOW YOU'RE BEING SILLY.
LUCKILY, I WAS ON THE
FENCING TEAM AT COLLEGE,
OR I WOULD HAVE MARRIED
LUCINDA LESTER BY NOW.
ACTUALLY, LUCINDA LESTER
LOOKED A LOT LIKE ERROL FLYNN.
I SHOULD'VE MARRIED HER. IT
WOULD'VE BEEN VERY MODERN OF ME.
WOW! MOM LOOKS
REALLY BEAUTIFUL HERE.
YES, SHE DOES.
WHAT WAS THE OCCASION?
WHO WOULD LIKE SOME COFFEE?
THAT WAS HER DEBUTANTE
GOWN FOR HER COMING-OUT PARTY.
MOM HAD A COMING-OUT PARTY?
NO, SHE DIDN'T.
OH.
YES, WELL, THINGS
HAPPEN, DON'T THEY?
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE
SOME BUSINESS CALLS TO MAKE.
I'LL GO GET THAT COFFEE.
HERE.
WHAT IS THIS?
I BROUGHT YOU COFFEE.
NO, THANK YOU.
HARRY, YOU'RE FREEZING.
TAKE THE DAMN COFFEE.
WHEN OUR FOREFATHERS STOOD
OUT HERE MANY MOONS AGO,
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY COFFEE.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
DO YOU HAVE WRITTEN
DOCUMENTATION ABOUT WHAT BEVERAGES
THEY DID OR DID NOT HAVE ON THAT
LONG, HISTORIC NIGHT OF STANDING?
THIS IS STILL A JOKE
TO YOU, YOUNG MAN.
I DON'T CHOOSE TO BE A JOKE.
WE DON'T NEED YOUR COFFEE.
HARRY, PLEASE. TAKE THE COFFEE.
MY FATHER WOULD
HAVE TAKEN THE COFFEE.
WELL, ALL RIGHT,
THEN. THANK YOU.
ANDREW?
THANK YOU, LUKE.
KIRK?
YOU GOT ANY HERBAL TEA?
UH, NOT ON ME,
BUT I CAN GET SOME.
WITH A SQUEEZE OF LEMON.
OK.
I COULD REALLY GO
FOR SOME COCOA.
THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
COCOA FOR ME, TOO.
OK, OK. HANG ON A
MINUTE. ONE HERBAL TEA,
UH, AND 2 COCOAS.
RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE, IT WAS SCARY.
YEAH, THAT PART
WAS A LITTLE SLOW.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
THAT I DIDN'T REALLY

AND I USUALLY THINK
THIS KIND OF THING OUT.
SO I'M JUST THINKING
THIS THING OUT.
WH-WHAT THING?
INVITING A MAN OVER TO MY HOUSE.
OK.
SEE, I HAVE REALLY STRICT
RULES ABOUT DATING.
I KEEP MY PERSONAL LIFE TOTALLY
SEPARATE FROM MY LIFE WITH RORY.
YOU KNOW, I NEVER WANT
HER TO FEEL UNSETTLED
OR LIKE HER LIFE COULD
JUST SHIFT AT ANY MOMENT.
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.
AND SHE COMES FIRST,
AND THIS HER HOUSE, TOO.
I UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
YOU DON'T DO OFTEN.
EVER. EVER?
NEVER. I SEE.
I MEAN, I'VE DATED.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW,
DATED.
BUT, UH, I'VE JUST NEVER...
DATED HERE
IN OUR HOUSE.
WHAT IF I PROMISED YOU
THAT IF YOU LET ME IN,
ALL I'M EXPECTING IS
A... IS A CUP OF COFFEE?
THAT'S IT.
NOTHING WEIRD OR FUNNY.
UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU'RE
INTO WEIRD AND FUNNY,
'CAUSE I COULD DO
WEIRD AND FUNNY.
LORELAI,
I'VE BEEN ENJOYING THE

I AM.
WELL, SO, IT'S, UH,
SNOWING, COLD,

OH, IT'S THAT FATE GUY AGAIN.
AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE,
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
DECIDE THAT SOME GUY
IS WORTH OPENING
THAT FRONT DOOR FOR.
I AM JUST VOLUNTEERING.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME COFFEE?
SO, HOW STRONG DO
YOU LIKE YOUR COFFEE?
BECAUSE I'VE BUILT UP
SUCH A TOLERANCE TO IT,
I USUALLY MAKE IT TOO
INTENSE FOR MOST PEOPLE.
YEAH, I LIVED THROUGH
THE FIESTA BURGER.
DON'T HOLD BACK NOW.
OK.
CAN I HELP?
UM, YEAH, YOU CAN
FILL UP THE POT.
OOH, I'M VERY GOOD AT THAT.
6 CUPS SOUNDS GOOD?
FINE.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA HAVE?
YOU DO KNOW THAT WAS A
LEADING QUESTION, RIGHT?
REALLY? HOW SO?
HOW BADLY DO YOU
WANT THAT COFFEE?
NOT THAT BADLY.
SUCH A GOOD ANSWER.
HOW MANY KIDS DID
YOU SAY YOU HAVE?
ONE. WHY?
LANE! HI! HI!
WHAT A... WE'RE JUST...
WHAT'RE... WHAT'RE...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M SORRY. I WAS
WAITING FOR RORY.
I'LL JUST GO BACK INTO HER ROOM,
AND I WON'T COME
BACK OUT. I PROMISE.
OH,
THAT'S THE CURE. I HAVE

IN HARTFORD TONIGHT.
OH, I DIDN'T KNOW.
I'LL JUST GO.
HEY, DO YOU WANT TO TALK?
I'M NOT RORY, BUT WE DO
USE THE SAME BLOW DRYER.
I DID SOMETHING
REALLY STUPID TODAY.
OK, WHAT DID YOU PIERCE?
NOTHING.
I TOUCHED A BOY'S HAIR.
OK.
A BOY I REALLY LIKE.
SO FAR I'M MISSING
THE STUPID PART.
I KIND OF DID IT
WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION.
NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
I MEAN, I WAS JUST
STANDING THERE.
AND THEN HE BENDS OVER,
AND HIS HAIR FALLS FORWARD
AND SUDDENLY IT'S LIKE MY
HAND HAS A LIFE OF ITS OWN.
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR HAND HAD
LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR HORMONES.
GOD, I'M SO HUMILIATED.
I CAN'T EVER GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
I'LL HAVE TO BE HOME-SCHOOLED.
MY MOTHER FINALLY GETS HER WAY.
LOOK AT IT FROM A
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.
YOU HAVE SO MANY YEARS
OF SCREW-UPS AHEAD OF YOU.
VIEW THIS AS A TRIAL RUN FOR
REALLY GROWN-UP HUMILIATION.
SO NOT HELPING.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD
BE A HAIRDRESSER.
LORELAI! YES. IT'S PERFECT.
YOU CAN RUN YOUR HANDS
THROUGH ANYBODY'S HAIR
AND THEY'LL PAY YOU FOR IT.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
I MEAN, EVERYONE AT SCHOOL'S
GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT ME.
I CAN'T SHOW MY FACE.
EVERYBODY DOES STUPID
THINGS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
IT'S LIKE A REQUIREMENT.
NOT LIKE THIS!
NO, SOME PEOPLE GET PREGNANT.
TALK ABOUT SOMETHING REALLY
JUICY FOR THE GOSSIP MILL.
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.
YEAH.
EVERYBODY SCREWS UP,
LANE. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
IT'S WHAT YOU DO
WITH THE SCREW-UPS,
IT'S HOW YOU HANDLE
THE EXPERIENCE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD
JUDGE YOURSELF BY.
I HAVE A GREAT LIFE
AND AN AMAZING KID.
AND I TOOK A DETOUR.
I ENDED UP SOMEPLACE GOOD.
YEAH.
TELL ME THIS.
HOW DID HIS HAIR FEEL?
GOOD AS IT LOOKED?
BETTER.
OH, YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE.
I'M POSITIVE ABOUT THAT.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
SO WHO'S THE GUY?
RORY'S TEACHER.
OH. HE HAS NICE HAIR.
YEAH.
HEY.
HEY.
EVERYTHING OK IN THERE?
IT WILL BE.
SO, WHERE DID WE LEAVE OFF?
UH-UH-OH.
LANE IS GONNA STAY HERE TONIGHT.
SHE HAD A REALLY BAD TEEN DAY
AND SHE NEEDS TO CRASH
SOMEPLACE SYMPATHETIC.
OK, I UNDERSTAND.
I SWEAR TO GOD, IF THIS WASN'T
A MAJOR JUDY BLUME MOMENT,
I WOULD KICK HER CUTE
LITTLE BUTT RIGHT OUT OF HERE.
CAN YOU RECOMMEND A HOTEL
THAT'S REALLY, REALLY CLOSE TO HERE?
WHY DON'T YOU JUST STAY HERE
TONIGHT? EVERYBODY ELSE IS.
I DON'T KNOW.
REALLY, THE COUCH
IS COMFORTABLE.
AND THERE'S PILLOWS
AND BLANKETS.
AND THE BATHROOM'S
THROUGH THERE.
AND THE KITCHEN
HAS NOTHING IN IT
BUT RUNNING WATER,
IF YOU GET THIRSTY.
AND IT'S AN AWFUL NIGHT.
OK, IF IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
NOT AT ALL.
COULD I AT LEAST GIVE
YOU A KISS GOOD-NIGHT?
ONLY IF YOU INTEND
TO LIVE TILL MORNING.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
HI!
HI! WHAT'S UP?
NOTHING. WHAT'S UP WITH YOU?
YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL ME.
BOY, YOU'RE SO SMART.
RIGHT. OK. HERE WE GO.
I'VE GOT A BOY IN THE HOUSE.
YOU WHAT?
NOTHING HAPPENED, I SWEAR. HE
SLEPT THE NIGHT ON THE COUCH.
AND YOU KNOW HIM.
I DO?
AND YOU LIKE HIM! I DON'T
KNOW IF THAT'S RELEVANT.
I JUST THOUGHT THAT I
WOULD THROW THAT IN THERE.
IT'S MR. MEDINA.
I KNOW. MY ENGLISH
TEACHER IS ON MY COUCH.
IT WAS THE SNOW.
YOU KNOW HOW I
GET. IT'S LIKE CATNIP.
I WAS WALKING. HE WAS THERE.
HIS CAR WAS BROKEN.
WE HAD FIESTA BURGERS.
IT WAS THE SNOW.
RORY, SAY SOMETHING.
RORY, TALK TO ME.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
I DON'T KNOW.
ANGRY, FRUSTRATED, NAUSEOUS?
WEIRD. I... I FEEL WEIRD.
HAS HE BEEN HERE ALL NIGHT?
PRETTY MUCH.
OH, MY GOD! DID HE GO
INTO THE BATHROOM?
I HAVE STUFF HANGING IN THERE!
HONEY, YOU KNEW I WAS
GONNA DATE HIM, RIGHT?
THIS ISN'T A TOTAL SURPRISE.
YES, I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA DATE.
I JUST DIDN'T EXPECT
FOR HIM TO BE HERE
AT OUR HOUSE IN THE MORNING.
I KNOW.
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER EVER
THERE BEING A MAN IN OUR HOUSE.
YEAH, WELL, I KIND
OF BROKE THE RULES.
GOD, WHY IS THIS
SO WEIRD FOR ME?
BECAUSE I SHOULD
HAVE TOLD YOU FIRST.
NO.
BECAUSE I SHOULD HAVE
TALKED TO YOU BEFORE I DID THIS.
NO.
BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID HE SMOOSHED
THE COUCH PILLOWS OUT OF SHAPE?
DO YOU LOVE HIM?
I...
WE HAD ONE DATE.
IT WAS A GREAT DATE.
WORLD SERIES LEVEL.
BUT IT WAS JUST A DATE.
HONEY, I PROMISED
MYSELF A LONG TIME AGO
THAT I WAS GONNA KEEP ALL
THIS STUFF SEPARATE FROM YOU.
AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT STILL STANDS, OK?
THIS WAS A ONE-TIME THING.
I'M NOT GONNA START
JUST BRINGING GUYS HOME.
THIS IS NOT A TREND.
YOU CAN, YOU KNOW.
WHAT?
BRING GUYS HOME.
I MEAN, IF YOU LIKE SOMEONE, YOU
SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THAT.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY.
AND I LOVE YOU FOR THAT.
PLUS, I KNOW YOU'RE
NOT A CAT PERSON.
SO YOU TRULY WILL BE ALONE
IF YOU DON'T FIND SOMEONE.
OK, LOOK, SOMEDAY,
I WILL BRING SOMEBODY HOME.
BUT WHEN I DO, I JUST WANT
TO BE SURE IT'S THE GUY.
MR. MEDINA'S NOT THE GUY?
I DON'T KNOW. HE MIGHT BE.
BUT RIGHT NOW,
IT'S JUST YOU AND ME.
AND SOMETIMES LANE.
HEY.
HEY.
UH, I'M GONNA GO
WAKE THE MAN UP.
YOUR MOM LET ME
SPEND THE NIGHT HERE.
I TRIED CALLING
YOU BACK ALL NIGHT,
BUT THE PHONES DIDN'T
TURN BACK ON UNTIL MORNING.
THAT'S OK. I UNDERSTAND.
LANE, I'M SO SORRY.
I'VE BEEN THE
WORST FRIEND LATELY.
NO, I JUST WIGGED OUT A LITTLE.
I GET JEALOUS SOMETIMES.
I MEAN, YOU SEEM TO HAVE
THIS REALLY GREAT LIFE GOING
AND I DON'T REALLY FIT IN THERE.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
YOU TOTALLY FIT IN.
YEAH?
I'M TALKING LEGOS.
I HOPE SO.
I WILL BE BETTER FROM
NOW ON, I PROMISE.
24 HOURS A DAY,
AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
DEAN WILL LOVE THAT.
WELL, HE'LL HAVE
TO. YOU CAME FIRST.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I GOT DIBS.
OK. I HAVE TO GO HOME.
COFFEE AT LUKE'S, 2:00?
YOU'RE ON.
AND I WANNA HEAR ALL ABOUT
THAT HAIR-TOUCHING INCIDENT.
YEAH. AND I WANNA HEAR THE REST OF
THE TEACHER-ON-THE-COUCH INCIDENT.
DEAL.
WILL COME TO ORDER.
NO ONE IS LISTENING TO ME.
OH, TAYLOR, CALM DOWN.
I CAN'T CALM DOWN.
I'M BEING PERSECUTED.
I PROMISED THAT WE'D HEAR YOU.
WE'VE BEEN HEARING
YOU FOR 20 MINUTES.
WELL, EXCUSE ME, ANDREW, BUT
SOME OF US HAVE BUSINESSES TO RUN
THAT DON'T INVOLVE PEDDLING
DRUG PARAPHERNALIA TO KIDS.
IT WAS A LAVA LAMP, TAYLOR.
THERE IS NO USE FOR A LAVA
LAMP UNLESS YOU'RE ON DRUGS.
OH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
NOW, WE'VE ALREADY AGREED
TO LOOK INTO YOUR
ACCUSATION BUT TO JUST...
WHAT'D I MISS?
TAYLOR DOOSE WANTS
THE NO-PARKING ZONE
IN FRONT OF HIS STORE REMOVED.
HE SAYS HIS CUSTOMERS
ARE BEING UNFAIRLY TICKETED.
NO, IT'S JUST BECAUSE HE
WANTS TO PARK THERE ALL DAY.
GENIUS.
I HAVE BEEN MAYOR OF THIS
FINE TOWN FOR A LONG TIME.
I TEND TO THINK OF ALL
OF YOU AS MY CHILDREN.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES
CHILDREN HAVE TO BE DISCIPLINED.
NOW, I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING,
AND I'M ONLY GONNA SAY IT ONCE.
WE HAVE LEASH LAWS, PEOPLE.
DADDY'S GETTING ANGRY.
ROVER WILL NOT LEASH HIMSELF.
GOOD POINT.
I WOULD LIKE TO NOW MOVE ON TO
SOMETHING OF EVEN GREATER IMPORTANCE.
AS YOU ALL KNOW,
THIS COMING FRIDAY
IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE
LEGENDARY BATTLE OF STARS HOLLOW.
WHERE'S LUKE?
THERE.
PATTY WILL BE CIRCULATING
A SIGN-UP SHEET
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE REENACTMENT
OF THE AFORESAID BATTLE.
HE'S TURNING RED. OH! OH!
ALL RIGHT.
"IT WAS A FRIGID NOVEMBER
NIGHT, SOME 224 YEARS AGO..."
HE'S SHIFTING IN HIS SEAT.
"STARS HOLLOW MILITIA STOOD
IN WAIT FOR THE REDCOATS."
HE'S ADJUSTING THE CAP.
"TIRED AND HUNGRY, 12 PROUD MEN
TOOK THEIR POSITIONS
IN THE TOWN SQUARE."
HE'S FIGHTING THE URGE.
HE'S FIGHTING THE URGE.
"AND IMMINENT DEATH IN
THEIR VALIANT EFFORTS..."
FOR GOD'S SAKE, DO WE HAVE TO
GO THROUGH THIS EVERY DAMN YEAR?
YES! AND THE URGE
WINS BY A LONG SHOT.
I THOUGHT WE WERE HERE
TO DISCUSS TOWN ISSUES.
THIS IS A TOWN ISSUE.
EXCUSE ME, WHO'S TALKING?
IT'S ME, HARRY. LUKE. YOU'VE
KNOWN ME SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD.
OH, LUKE, YES.
SIT DOWN.
NOW, AS I WAS
SAYING: "12 HEROIC MEN
ASSEMBLED WITH GUNS DRAWN,
READY TO MEET THEIR MAKER..."
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
12 GUYS STOOD IN
A ROW ALL NIGHT.
"WAITING FOR THE REDCOATS..."
WHO NEVER SHOWED!
NOW, JUST...
12 GUYS STOOD IN A ROW ALL NIGHT
WAITING FOR AN ENEMY THAT NEVER SHOWED.
THEY GOT STOOD UP. THEY SHOULD'VE
BEEN WEARING PROM DRESSES.
I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT
ENOUGH OF THIS.
SIT DOWN, TAYLOR!
MENACE.
SUCK UP.
$5 SAYS SOMEBODY ENDS
UP IN A HEADLOCK. YOU'RE ON.
HAVE ANY OF YOU
CONSIDERED THE FACT
THAT YOU'RE GLORIFYING
A WAR WE FOUGHT
SO WE COULD KEEP
LAND THAT WE STOLE?
IF YOU DON'T LIKE
IT HERE IN AMERICA,
WHY DON'T YOU GO STAND IN LINE
FOR TOILET PAPER IN THE U.S.S.R.?
THERE IS NO MORE
U.S.S.R., HARRY.
A SENSE OF COMMUNITY
IS SO IMPORTANT, ISN'T IT?
IT'S WHAT MADE
OUR COUNTRY GREAT.

INTERESTED IN FACTS.

WE MISS EACH OTHER.
IT'S NOW 2:00 IN THE
AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY,
AND I'M IN MY OFFICE
GRADING A PAPER ENTITLED:
EMILY DICKINSON, GET A LIFE.
ANYHOW, AS I SIT HERE
LOSING MY FAITH IN MANKIND,
I WONDER IF WE'RE EVER GONNA
ACTUALLY GO ON THAT DATE
WE TALKED ABOUT MANY MOONS AGO.
I TEACH A NIGHT CLASS IN
STAMFORD TWICE A WEEK,
AND WHEN I PASS THAT STARS
HOLLOW SIGN ON THE TURNPIKE,
I THINK, "OUT THERE
IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
THAT I SOMEDAY HOPE
TO SPEND TIME WITH."
ANYHOW, I'M JUST
THINKING ABOUT YOU.
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE NEXT
WEEK WE CAN FIND SOME TIME.
BYE, LORELAI GILMORE.
YOU KNEW THAT. OK, BYE.
LORELAI, IT'S MAX.
MEDINA. MAX MEDINA.
MOM?
AND ONCE AGAIN
WE MISS EACH OTHER.
SORRY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP?
I COULDN'T SLEEP.
IT'S FREEZING IN HERE.
WAIT. CLOSE YOUR
EYES AND BREATHE.
I SMELL SNOW.
AAH. IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR.
CAN'T YOU SMELL IT?
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE DOGS
AND HIGH-PITCHED NOISES.
I THINK IT'S SOMETHING
ONLY YOU CAN SMELL.
I LOVE SNOW.
REALLY? I HAD NO IDEA.
EVERYTHING'S MAGICAL
WHEN IT SNOWS.
EVERYTHING LOOKS PRETTY.
THE CLOTHES ARE GREAT.
COATS, SCARVES, GLOVES, HATS.
THERMAL UNDERWEAR,
WOOL SOCKS, EARFLAPS.
DO YOU KNOW THE BEST THINGS IN MY
LIFE HAVE HAPPENED WHEN IT SNOWED?
WHY, YES, I DO.
MY BEST BIRTHDAY.
YOUR FIRST KISS.
YOUR FIRST STEPS. THEY ALL
HAPPENED WHEN IT SNOWED.
FEET.
I FEEL GOOD. TINGLY.
THAT'S CALLED FROSTBITE.
YOU ARE MOCKING YOUR MOTHER,
THE WOMAN WHO BIRTHED YOU.
I'M SORRY.
DURING A SNOWSTORM, MIGHT I ADD.
SO HOW SOON IS IT
SUPPOSED TO HIT?
TOMORROW. DEFINITELY TOMORROW.
OK, THEN TOMORROW IT IS.
WHAT?
YOU, ME, DOUGHNUTS, COFFEE,
STANDING OUT IN A
SNOWSTORM. AT MIDNIGHT?
AT MIDNIGHT.
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE DAUGHTER.
SO HOW MANY TIMES ARE
YOU GONNA LISTEN TO THAT?
TILL IT STOPS BEING SEXY.
STOP. THAT'S MY TEACHER
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I HAVE TO RESPECT HIM.
OK, WELL, IF IT MAKES
YOU FEEL ANY BETTER,
WHILE HE'S BEING SEXY, HE'S ALSO
BEING GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT.
BETTER. THANK YOU.
SORRY, I WOKE YOU UP.
IT'S OK. IT'S ALL FODDER
FOR THE TELL-ALL.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
LORELAI, IT'S MAX.
MEDINA. MAX MEDINA.
HEY, HOW IS IT OUT THERE?
IT IS COLD AND GRAY,
LIKE A FAT, DEAD PIGEON.
WE'LL PULL OUT THE SLEDS.
PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO SLED.
OH, AND WE'LL NEED THE PARKAS.
FOR WHAT? IN CASE
ANYONE WANTS TO HIKE.
YOU KNOW, NOT
EVERYONE FINDS THE IDEA
OF BEING PELTED WITH
FROZEN WATER APPEALING.
I KNOW, AND HOW SAD FOR THEM.
THE THRILLING SENSATION
OF GETTING LOST IN A BLIZZARD,
OF FREEZING TO
DEATH IN THE WOODS,
AND HAVING TO EAT YOUR
FRIEND'S BUTTOCKS TO STAY ALIVE:
THAT IS LOST ON MANY PEOPLE.
I AM TELLING YOU, 5
MINUTES IN A SNOWBALL FIGHT,
WE COULD KNOCK THAT
STICK RIGHT OUT OF YOUR BUTT.
OK, HOW DOES THIS SOUND?
MAPLE-SUGAR SNOWFLAKES
ON ALL THE PILLOWS?
OH, THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL!
MAKE THEM IN THE SHAPE OF A
BUTTOCK TO GET PEOPLE USED TO THEM.
IS THAT A REAL SUGGESTION?
SOOKIE, PLEASE, WHO IS SPEAKING?
MICHEL, RIGHT, OK.
SNOWFLAKES IT IS.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I MEAN, I SAT NEXT TO HIM
IN PRACTICE, FOR MONTHS.
AND THEN ONE DAY I LOOK
OVER, AND IT'S... IT'S RICH.
RICH BLOOMENFELD.
WHERE IS MY CHEMISTRY BOOK?
I HAD IT AT YOUR HOUSE
YESTERDAY, DIDN'T I?
RORY, FOCUS, PLEASE.
I'M SORRY. I JUST
CAN'T FIND MY BOOK.
HEY, BABE.
SERGEANT PEPPER.
MOM, DO YOU KNOW WHERE MY...
BIG SCARY CHEMISTRY
BOOK IS? BEHIND THE DESK.
OH, THANK GOD.
WOW!
YEAH.
SO, IS SOOKIE IN THE KITCHEN?
AND THERE SHE'LL STAY.
OK. SO, WHERE WERE WE?
I JUST MET MY SOUL MATE.
RIGHT. RICH BLOOMENFELD.
DOES HE STILL WEAR
THE STAR TREK SHIRT?
NOW, REMEMBER, YOU DO NOT TAKE
YOUR EYES OFF THIS FOR A MINUTE.
'CAUSE THE SECOND YOU DO, IT
WILL BOIL, AND THEN IT'S RUINED.
SO JUST STAND THERE
AND STARE AT IT, OK?
HEY, SOOKIE.
HEY, KITTY-CATS. CINNAMON
BUNS ARE OVER THERE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THOSE ROCKY
ROAD COOKIES THAT YOU MADE YESTERDAY?
I CAN SCROUNGE SOME UP.
LANE, YOU NEED A BAG?
NO, THANK YOU.
ARE YOU STARING? I'M STARING.
THANK YOU.
SO, ANYHOW, RICH
HAS THIS AMAZING HAIR.
REALLY?
OH, MY GOD. IT'S SO PERFECT.
IT'S THICK, BUT
IT'S NOT TOO THICK,
AND IT'S GOT REALLY
GOOD NATURAL WAVE.
SO HE PROBABLY USES WAY
LESS PRODUCT THAN MOST GUYS.
ALWAYS A PLUS.
HEY, WHAT TIME IS IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVE TO GET TO THE BUS STOP.
DEAN'S MEETING ME THERE.
I'M TRYING TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT THIS.
I KNOW. WE'LL TALK ON THE WAY.
HERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU, SOOKIE.
SWEETS, I HAVE A LOCKSMITH
COMING TO THE HOUSE TODAY, LIKE 5:00,
AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE.
SO TELL GRANDMA AND
GRANDPA I'LL BE LATE,
AND THAT I'M HAVING
SATAN'S BABY?
YOU PICK THE ORDER.
I'LL RELAY THE TIME MESSAGE BUT
I'M LEAVING THE REST UP TO YOU.
WHAT IS THIS? YOU HATE
ROCKY ROAD COOKIES. I DO NOT.
I'M SORRY. THAT MUST BE MY
OTHER DAUGHTER, SHMORY.
WE'RE LEAVING NOW.
WAIT A MINUTE.
I KNOW WHO LIKES
ROCKY ROAD COOKIES.
WHO?
DEAN. THEY'RE FOR DEAN.
SHE'S BRINGING BAKED
GOODS TO A BOY. WOW, SERIOUS.
HERE, DEAN, THESE COOKIES ARE
FOR YOU, BECAUSE YOU'RE KEEN.
STOP.
RORY'S IN LOVE!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,
DEAN, DEAN, DEAN.
LOVE, AND THE DEAN, AND
THE COOKIES FOR THE LOVE.
LOVE, AND THE DEAN, AND
THE COOKIES FOR THE LOVE.
AND THE LOVE, AND THE DEAN,
AND THE LOVE, AND THE DEAN.
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN
STOP. SHE'S GONE NOW.
BUT IT'S FUN.
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
COOKIES FOR THE DEAN, AND
THE ROCK, COOKIES FOR THE LOVE...
I JUST... I JUST
CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I'VE KNOWN HIM SINCE THE 6TH
GRADE, BUT SUDDENLY HE'S DIFFERENT.
HE'S NOT GANGLY ANYMORE.
YOU REMEMBER HOW GANGLY HE WAS?
I'M SORRY, WHAT?
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME.
I AM. I'M SORRY.
I JUST COULDN'T
FIND MY BOOKMARK.
OK, GO AHEAD. OK.
HERE ARE THE PROBLEMS FACING THE
WHOLE BLOOMENFELD-KIM SITUATION.
HYPHENATION WOULD BE A PAIN.
HE'S MY BAND PARTNER.
ROMANCE WOULD BE
COMPLETELY AWKWARD.
HE'S NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT ME
LIKE I'M A GIRL OR
SOMETHING RESEMBLING ONE.
THERE'S NO WAY I COULD CONVINCE
MY PARENTS HE WAS KOREAN.
BUT I CAN'T HELP
IT. I'M OBSESSED.
DID I TELL YOU ABOUT HIS HAIR?
IT'S ON HIS HEAD, RIGHT?
HI. HI.
LANE.
DEAN.
NICE HAT.
HERE.
HOW... HOW'D YOU LIKE IT?
WELL, I COULD TELL YOU,
BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU.
AHA! YOU LIKED IT.
YOU LIKED JANE AUSTEN.
I KNEW YOU WOULD.
LANE, DEAN LIKES JANE AUSTEN.
WOW, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT?
I TOLD HIM HE WOULD,
BUT HE WAS ALL:
"FORGET JANE AUSTEN. YOU
HAVE TO READ HUNTER THOMPSON."
YOU DO HAVE TO READ
HUNTER THOMPSON.
NOT AS MUCH AS YOU
NEEDED TO READ JANE AUSTEN.
YEAH, YEAH.
WHAT'S THAT?
JUST SOME COOKIES.
ROCKY ROAD.
YEAH.
WOW, SHE BRINGS ME COOKIES.
HOW CAN I REPAY HER?
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE
CHARLOTTE BRONTE?
HOW ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?
THAT'S GOOD, TOO.
OK, I GOTTA GO.
I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR HOMEROOM.
I HAVE THAT PERFECT-ATTENDANCE
CERTIFICATE IN MY SIGHTS.
SEE YOU LATER.
YEAH, SEE YOU.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WE HAVE FLAKES.
FLAKES HAVE BEEN SIGHTED.
"FLAKEAGE," IF YOU
WILL, HAS BEGUN.
MICHEL, IT'S THE FIRST
SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON.
IT'S VERY LUCKY. MAKE A WISH.
GET AWAY FROM ME.
OH, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO SAY IT OUT LOUD.
INDEPENDENCE INN.
THE WORLD CHANGES WHEN IT SNOWS.
IT GETS QUIET.
EVERYTHING SOFTENS.
IT'S YOUR MOTHER.
AND THEN THE RAIN COMES.
HI, MOM.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS?
EVER?
A BAD STORM'S HEADING YOUR WAY.
IT'S ALREADY HITTING US HERE.
WELL, DON'T PANIC, I'LL GET
THE ARK, YOU GET THE ANIMALS.
I JUST SENT LANCE TO
PICK UP RORY AT SCHOOL.
THE ROADS ARE TERRIBLE.
BLACK ICE EVERYWHERE.
IT'S JUST A MESS OUT THERE.
I HATE THIS KIND OF WEATHER.
SO, ANYHOW, WHAT
TIME WILL YOU GET HERE?
WELL, GEE, MOM, I
DON'T KNOW, LET'S SEE.
BLACK ICE, TREACHEROUS ROADS.
I GUESS I'LL JUST PUT ON MY
RED-WHITE-AND-BLUE LEOTARD,
GRAB MY GOLDEN LASSO,
AND FLY THE INVISIBLE PLANE.
YOU'RE NOT COMING.
IF IT'S AS BAD AS YOU SAY IT IS,
I DON'T SEE HOW I'D GET THERE.
WELL, I GUESS IT'LL JUST
BE THE 3 OF US THEN.
I GUESS SO.
YOU KNOW, RORY SHOULD PROBABLY
SPEND THE NIGHT TONIGHT, ALSO.
OK.
AND IF IT'S STILL
BAD TOMORROW...
WHY DON'T YOU SEE
WHAT THE WEATHER DOES
BEFORE YOU FILL OUT A
CHANGE-OF-ADDRESS CARD.
HEY, GRANDMA.
RORY'S HERE. PUT HER ON A SEC.
RORY, IT'S YOUR MOTHER.
HEY.
HI.
THINGS BAD OUT THERE, HUH?
IT'S CRAZY.
SNOW COMING DOWN EVERYWHERE
AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU, SADDLE SHOES
ARE NOT THE BEST ALL-WEATHER FOOTWEAR.
OH, YOU FELL.
TWICE.
YIKES. I'M SORRY.
WHAT'S THE DEAL? ARE
YOU COMING OVER TONIGHT?
NO, I GUESS, I'M PRETTY MUCH
STUCK IN THE HOLLOW TONIGHT.
BUMMER. WELL, WE CAN TAKE
OUR SNOW WALK TOMORROW NIGHT?
ABSOLUTELY.
NOW, HONEY, TELL
GRANDMA YOU ARRIVED THERE
NOT A MEMBER OF
THE JUNIOR LEAGUE.
I'D LIKE YOU TO LEAVE
THERE THE SAME WAY.
CALL IF YOU GET LONELY.
I WILL. BYE.
HARRY, COME ON, STOP THIS BEFORE
SOMEBODY DRIVES THROUGH TOWN
AND THINKS THE LOCAL MENTAL
INSTITUTION HAS BAD PADLOCKS.
LUKE, YOU OUGHT TO BE
ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
YOUR FATHER WAS A REENACTOR.
YES, AND I THOUGHT
HE WAS CRAZY ALSO.
WHO'S STEPPING ON MY MUSKET?
THAT'D BE ME.
WELL, STOP IT.
THERE GOES THE FIRE
CHIEF, THE POLICE CHIEF,
AND THE ONE PARAMEDIC WITH A
VALID LICENSE. I FEEL SAFE. DON'T YOU?
LOOK AT THEM. ALL
RELATIVELY INTELLIGENT MEN,
BUT THERE THEY ARE,
DRESSED UP IN COSTUMES,
STANDING OUT IN A
SNOWSTORM, AND FOR WHAT?
BECAUSE IT'S TRADITION.
TRADITION IS A TRAP
THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE
TO STICK THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND.
EVERYTHING IN THE PAST
WAS SO QUAINT, SO CHARMING.
TIMES WERE SIMPLER.
KIDS DIDN'T HAVE SEX.
NEIGHBORS KNEW EACH OTHER.
IT'S A FREAKING FAIRY TALE.
THINGS SUCKED THEN, TOO.
IT SUCKED WITHOUT
INDOOR PLUMBING.
I THINK SOME
TRADITIONS ARE NICE.
BIRTHDAYS, HOLIDAYS,
TAKING A WALK IN THE
FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON.
I DIDN'T GET THE HALLMARK
CARD FOR THAT ONE.
WHEN I WAS 5, I HAD A
REALLY BAD EAR INFECTION,
AND I HAD BEEN HOME IN BED
FOR A WEEK, AND I WAS VERY SAD.
SO I WISHED REALLY HARD THAT SOMETHING
WONDERFUL WOULD HAPPEN TO ME.
AND I WOKE UP THE NEXT
MORNING, AND IT HAD SNOWED.
AND I WAS SURE THAT SOME FAIRY
GODMOTHER HAD DONE IT JUST FOR ME.
IT WAS MY LITTLE PRESENT.
YOUR PARENTS NEVER EXPLAINED
THE CONCEPT OF WEATHER TO YOU?
I AM MAKING A POINT,
MOUTHY McGEE.
OF COURSE, MANY
YEARS LATER, I REALIZED
THAT LOGICALLY, THE SNOW WAS
NOT THERE FOR ME PERSONALLY.
BUT STILL, WHEN IT SNOWS,
SOMETHING INSIDE ME SAYS,
"HEY, THAT'S YOUR PRESENT."
I DON'T THINK IT'LL EVER CHANGE.
MY FATHER USED TO
BE ONE OF THOSE GUYS.
YEAH?
YEAH, HE EVEN HAD
HIS OWN MUSKET.
REALLY?
NEVER HAD TO RENT IT.
WHERE'S THE MUSKET NOW?
HE WAS BURIED WITH IT.
WOW!
YEAH, HE LOVED THAT MUSKET.
THAT'S NICE, IN A
DISTURBING SORT OF WAY.
COME ON IN. I'LL GET
YOU SOME COFFEE.
NO, THANKS.
I'M GONNA WALK AROUND.
ENJOY MY PRESENT A LITTLE.
PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PLEASE
GET INTO FORMATION.
HATS ON AND
INSTRUMENTS IN PLACE.
DO NOT, I REPEAT,
DO NOT ACTUALLY PUT
INSTRUMENTS TO YOUR MOUTHS
UNTIL WE ARE INSIDE.
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE FLAUTIST LAST YEAR.
OH!
I SMELL SNOW.
WELL, WELL, WELL.
WHAT'S UP, TEACH?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I LIVE HERE. WHAT
ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I WAS ON MY WAY
BACK FROM STAMFORD.
MY CAR DECIDED TO STOP.
HERE? YES.
IN MY TOWN? YES.
GOOD CAR.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU.
YOU, TOO.
YOU KNOW, A MINUTE AGO I WAS
REALLY ANGRY ABOUT SOMETHING,
AND NOW I... I JUST CAN'T
REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS.
THAT'S SNOW FOR YOU.
I GUESS SO.
SO, THIS IS QUITE A
PREDICAMENT YOU'RE IN.
STRANDED HERE IN A STRANGE
TOWN, WITH NO ONE YOU KNOW.
OH, WAIT.
WHERE'S RORY TONIGHT?
SHE'S IN HARTFORD
WITH HER GRANDPARENTS.
THAT MUST BE NICE.
WHATEVER YOU SAY.
SO RORY'S IN HARTFORD? YES.
AND I'M IN STARS
HOLLOW. CORRECT.
AND YOU'RE...
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE I SHOULD TAKE YOU.
NO, NO, WHERE I SHOULD TAKE YOU.
THIS IS MY TOWN. YOU
KNOW NOTHING AROUND HERE.
NO, BUT I WAS THE ONE WHO
ASKED YOU OUT INITIALLY.
SO, THEREFORE, I AM STILL
OBLIGATED TO DO THE TAKING.
YES, BUT I WAS THE ONE WHO DID THE
CANCELING AFTER YOU DID THE ASKING.
THEREFORE, YOU FORFEIT YOUR
TAKING RIGHTS TO ME, THE CANCELLER.
SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DO THIS?
YES, WE ARE.
LET ME JUST GIVE THIS GUY
MY KEYS, AND THEN WE'LL GO.
GREAT.
"GREAT" IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
YOU WAITED SO LATE TO CALL.
ARE YOU SURE?
FINE.
ALL RIGHT. YES, GOODBYE.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GONNA DO NOW.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, EMILY?
THE PROBLEM IS THAT
APPARENTLY FLORENCE
CANNOT GET HERE
BECAUSE OF THE STORM.
FLORENCE?
OUR COOK.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO GO OUT, THEN.
OH, PLEASE, RICHARD,
PAY ATTENTION.
WE CAN'T GO OUT. IT'S
MISERABLE OUT THERE.
WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT THEN.
WHAT? WHAT WILL WE FIGURE OUT?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT...
I HATE THE DAMN SNOW.
EMILY, CALM DOWN.
THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
THESE FRIDAY DINNERS
ARE THE ONLY PROPER FOOD
THAT CHILD EATS ALL WEEK.
RORY, ARE YOU IN ANY
WAY MALNOURISHED,
OR IN NEED OF SOME
INTERNATIONAL RELIEF ORGANIZATION
TO RECRUIT A CELEBRITY
TO RAISE MONEY ON YOUR ACCOUNT?
I'M GOOD.
SHE'S GOOD, EMILY.
YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR
REARS ITS UGLY HEAD
AT THE ODDEST OF TIMES, RICHARD.
EMILY, I'M NOT THE
MASTERMIND BEHIND
SOME GREAT SCHEME TO
SPOIL YOUR DINNER PLANS,
AND I DON'T CARE TO
BE TREATED AS SUCH.
SO YOU'RE FINE WITH HAVING
NO DINNER TONIGHT, IS THAT IT?
I CERTAINLY AM NOT.
HEY, HOW ABOUT I
CHECK THE FRIDGE?
I'M SURE THERE'S SOMETHING
IN THERE WE COULD WHIP UP.
WHIP UP?
YEAH, COME ON.
IT'LL BE FUN, I PROMISE.
WELL, COME ON,
MR. WE'LL-FIGURE-IT-OUT.
NOTHING.
NOT A BLESSED THING.
HEY, THERE'S FROZEN PIZZA.
HOW DID THAT GET THERE?
MAYBE YOU BOUGHT IT
AND FORGOT ABOUT IT.
I'VE NEVER BOUGHT FROZEN
PIZZA. IT MUST BELONG TO ANNA.
THE MAID. YES.
GOT ONE!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M GONNA MAKE IT.
OH, RORY, YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS?
THAT HARDLY LOOKS LIKE DINNER.
I AGREE. RORY,
THAT'S FOOD YOU EAT
AT A CARNIVAL OR
IN A TURKISH PRISON.
I PROMISE YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT.
BUT...
LISTEN, JUST LEAVE IT UP TO ME.
YOU GUYS GO BACK
INTO THE LIVING ROOM,
AND I'LL CALL YOU
WHEN IT'S READY.
HEY, GRANDMA?
YES?
WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF YOU KNOWING
WHERE A COOKIE SHEET WOULD BE?
I'D SAY VERY SLIM.
NEVER MIND. I'LL FIND IT.
VERY SLIM? THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THANK YOU. HOLD THAT.
THANKS.
THANKS.
GOD, IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL NIGHT, HUH?
YES, IT IS.
SO, TELL ME SOMETHING
ABOUT YOURSELF.
LIKE WHAT?
UM, HAVE YOU EVER
BEEN MARRIED? NOPE.
EVER BEEN CLOSE? ONCE.
AND? SHE'S IN THAILAND NOW.
SEX TRADE? BANK OF AMERICA.
IT'S USUALLY ONE OR THE OTHER.
SHE WENT THERE ON BUSINESS.
SHE DID WELL. SHE NEVER CAME BACK.
OH, SAD.
IT WAS, AT THE TIME. BUT
IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE...
OH, HE BELIEVES IN FATE.
FATE, POETRY, LOVE.
THEY ALL GO
TOGETHER, DON'T THEY?
YES, THEY DO.
HOW ABOUT YOU? OH,
I'VE NEVER BEEN MARRIED.
EVER BEEN CLOSE?
UH, RORY'S DAD PROPOSED.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE BELL RANG. I WAS
LATE FOR CHEM LAB.
YOU EVER SORRY THAT YOU DIDN'T?
OH, NO. WE WERE SO YOUNG
AND MY LIFE WOULD'VE
BEEN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T LIVE
HERE. I WOULDN'T WORK HERE.
I WOULDN'T BE
WALKING HERE WITH YOU.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
YOU'LL SEE.
ARE WE GONNA GET
THERE BEFORE WE FREEZE?
NOW, WHAT KIND
OF FUN WOULD IT BE
IF I TOLD YOU THE ANSWER?
YOU'RE CRAZY. VERY POSSIBLE.
AND I'M FOLLOWING
YOU. YES, YOU ARE.
SO POSSIBLY, I'M
CRAZIER THAN YOU ARE.
AGAIN, VERY POSSIBLE.
A MATCH MADE IN
HEAVEN. OR IN BELLEVUE.
IT MUST BE FATE.
OH, THIS IS GETTING
RIDICULOUS, AARON.
I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO HAVE
THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH A CHILD!
YES, HE IS A CHILD.
WELL, WHEN HE'S WORKED
30 YEARS AT THE COMPANY,
THAT'S WHEN HE'S NOT A CHILD.
UNTIL THEN, I DON'T CARE
WHAT HIS OPINIONS ARE.
AARON, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?
GOOD, BECAUSE I'M
HANGING UP ON YOU NOW,
AND I WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU HEARD IT.
WHAT A MORON.
HELLO, RORY?
LANE?
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M AT MY GRANDPARENTS'. WHAT
ARE YOU DOING AT MY HOUSE?
LIKE YOU CARE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU'RE NEVER AROUND
WHEN I NEED YOU.
YOU KNOW I HAVE TO GO TO
MY GRANDPARENTS' ON FRIDAYS.
I KNOW! YOU GO TO
YOUR GRANDPARENTS'.
YOU GO TO CHILTON.
YOU HAVE TO MEET DEAN.
HE NEEDS HIS COOKIES.
"I CAN'T FIND MY BOOKS."
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT GOOD IS IT TO HAVE A BEST
FRIEND WHEN SHE'S NEVER AROUND?
AND SHE NEVER LISTENS,
AND SHE HAS NO INTEREST
IN THE FACT THAT YOU'RE IN
LOVE, OR YOU TOUCHED HIS HAIR?
YOU TOUCHED WHOSE HAIR?
RICH BLOOMENFELD.
WHY WOULD YOU TOUCH
RICH BLOOMENFELD'S HAIR?
WHY? THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW WHY.
WHY WOULD A SANE PERSON DO A
THING LIKE THAT? MAYBE I'M NOT SANE.
MAYBE I'M GOING THROUGH
SOME SORT OF A PHASE.
MAYBE I REALLY, REALLY NEEDED
SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS,
AND YOU WEREN'T THERE.
LANE, COME ON.
NO, YOU COME ON.
YOU'RE ALWAYS AT SCHOOL, OR
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SCHOOL.
OR YOU'RE WITH DEAN.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
NOW, AND I HAVE NOTHING.
EXCEPT FOR 2,000 KOREAN BIBLES,
AND A POTENTIAL
"F" IN JAZZ BAND.
I'M SORRY.
DON'T BE SORRY. BE HERE.
I'M...
LANE? ARE YOU THERE?
RORY? RORY?
LANE? THERE YOU ARE.
I THINK THE PHONES WENT DEAD.
IT'S PROBABLY JUST
THIS HORRIBLE STORM.
YOU MUST COME
DOWNSTAIRS IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
THE STOVE IS BUZZING.
IT'S JUST THE TIMER, GRANDMA.
I KNOW IT'S THE TIMER, RORY. WHAT I
DON'T KNOW IS WHERE IT'S LOCATED
OR HOW TO TURN IT OFF.
BUT I REALLY NEED
TO CALL LANE BACK.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
NOW. THE PHONES'LL COME BACK.
NOW PLEASE, COME DOWNSTAIRS
AND HELP ME STOP THE BUZZING.
BUT...
EMILY, GET DOWN HERE!
OK, LET'S GO.
SO, THE FIESTA BURGER.
VERY INTERESTING.
VERY SPICY?
OH, YEAH.
HOW'S YOUR TONGUE?
MUCH BETTER, THANK YOU.
ARE YOU SCARED YET?
NOT YET.
ARE YOU SCARED YET?
I'M STILL GOOD.
ARE YOU SCARED YET?
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE VERY
ANNOYING IN A MOVIE.
I KNOW.
I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT YOU KNOW MY FAULTS,
AS WELL AS MY MANY ATTRIBUTES.
VERY THOUGHTFUL OF YOU.
IT IS, ISN'T IT?
BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW,
YOU CAN GET CARRIED AWAY
BY YOUR MANY ATTRIBUTES.
AND SUDDENLY FIND YOURSELF
THINKING, "OH, MY GOD!
THIS WOMAN IS
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT."
WE WOULDN'T WANT
THAT, NOW, WOULD WE?
NO, WE WOULDN'T.
♪
HMM.
YOU WANT TO EAT IT
BEFORE IT GETS COLD.
HOW IS IT?
NOT COLD.
HMM. IT'S QUITE TASTY.
EMILY, WE SHOULD
HAVE THIS MORE OFTEN.
WHAT?
PERHAPS INSTEAD OF THAT HORRIBLE
SALMON THAT KEEPS SHOWING UP.
THAT SALMON IS A FINE DELICACY.
HMM. PO-TAY-TO, PO-TAH-TO.
TRY IT AGAIN, GRANDMA.
IT'S PROBABLY COOLER NOW.
NO, THANK YOU. I'M FINE.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S REALLY GOOD IF YOU ADD
SOME EXTRA PARMESAN TO IT.
THIS IS MOM'S SPECIAL TRICK.
FROZEN PIZZA IS A
STAPLE AT OUR HOUSE.
MOM'S BECOME A MAJOR DOCTORING
GENIUS. SHE'LL PUT ANYTHING ON IT.
ONE TIME SOOKIE CAME AND
BROUGHT US SOME FOIE GRAS,
AND MOM STUCK IT ON A PIZZA.
HOW WAS IT?
PRETTY GOOD, ONCE WE
TOOK THE FOIE GRAS OFF.
OK, THAT'S GOOD.
TRY IT. PLEASE?
IF YOU WANT TO GET REALLY
CRAZY, YOU CAN PICK IT UP.
WELL, ALL RIGHT.
HERE GOES NOTHING.
MMM! THAT'S WONDERFUL!
SEE?
RORY, PASS ME THAT CHEESE.
TRUST ME.
IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
I FOUND THIS IN MOM'S ROOM.
WHAT'S THAT?
PICTURES.
OH, MY GOODNESS, I
HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN YEARS.
OH, MY GOSH.
OH! LOOK AT THIS.
THAT'S ONE FLUFFY WHITE DRESS.
YES, THERE WERE 12
PETTICOATS UNDERNEATH IT.
WE GOT IT IN LONDON,
REMEMBER, RICHARD?
SHE LOOKS LIKE
A LITTLE PRINCESS.
YES. WELL, IF MEMORY SERVES,
I BELIEVE ABOUT 2 MINUTES
AFTER THAT PICTURE,
HER HIGHNESS DUMPED A GLASS
OF GRAPE JUICE ALL OVER IT.
LOOK, EMILY, IT'S HOPEY.
HOPEY? MY YOUNGER SISTER.
HAS SHE BEEN HERE WHEN I
WAS HERE? DON'T REMEMBER HER.
OH, SHE LIVES IN PARIS.
OUR GREAT EXPATRIATE.
OH, MY HOPEY, LOOK AT YOU.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER
IN SUCH A LONG TIME.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
TAKE A TRIP THIS YEAR.
THAT WOULD BE NICE.
MAYBE RORY COULD GO WITH US.
I'LL START PACKING TOMORROW.
OH, IS THAT YOU GUYS?
YES, IT IS.
THAT IS OUR WEDDING PICTURE.
THAT'S AN AMAZING DRESS.
IT SHOULD'VE BEEN. MY
MOTHER HAD 3 SEAMSTRESSES
WORKING ROUND
THE CLOCK MAKING IT.
YOU STILL HAVE IT?
IT'S UPSTAIRS PACKED
AWAY SOMEWHERE.
I'LL SAVE IT FOR
YOU IF YOU LIKE.
OH, EMILY. RORY'S TOO YOUNG
TO BE THINKING ABOUT
THINGS LIKE THAT.
OH, PLEASE. EVERY YOUNG
GIRL THINKS ABOUT HER WEDDING.
I KNOW I DID.
I KNEW WHEN I WAS 12 THAT I
WANTED LILIES AND ORCHIDS
WITH A SILVER BOW WRAPPED
AROUND THEM FOR MY BOUQUET.
YOU ALSO KNEW THAT YOU
WANTED TO MARRY ERROL FLYNN.
OH, REALLY?
GRANDMA HAD A THING
FOR THE PIRATE GUY?
I DID NOT HAVE A THING FOR THE
PIRATE GUY. SHE WAS MAD ABOUT HIM.
SHE EVEN TRIED TO GET ME TO GROW
ONE OF THOSE LITTLE MUSTACHES.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
SHE WANTED ME TO
SWING FROM A CHANDELIER.
NOW YOU'RE BEING SILLY.
LUCKILY, I WAS ON THE
FENCING TEAM AT COLLEGE,
OR I WOULD HAVE MARRIED
LUCINDA LESTER BY NOW.
ACTUALLY, LUCINDA LESTER
LOOKED A LOT LIKE ERROL FLYNN.
I SHOULD'VE MARRIED HER. IT
WOULD'VE BEEN VERY MODERN OF ME.
WOW! MOM LOOKS
REALLY BEAUTIFUL HERE.
YES, SHE DOES.
WHAT WAS THE OCCASION?
WHO WOULD LIKE SOME COFFEE?
THAT WAS HER DEBUTANTE
GOWN FOR HER COMING-OUT PARTY.
MOM HAD A COMING-OUT PARTY?
NO, SHE DIDN'T.
OH.
YES, WELL, THINGS
HAPPEN, DON'T THEY?
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE
SOME BUSINESS CALLS TO MAKE.
I'LL GO GET THAT COFFEE.
HERE.
WHAT IS THIS?
I BROUGHT YOU COFFEE.
NO, THANK YOU.
HARRY, YOU'RE FREEZING.
TAKE THE DAMN COFFEE.
WHEN OUR FOREFATHERS STOOD
OUT HERE MANY MOONS AGO,
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY COFFEE.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
DO YOU HAVE WRITTEN
DOCUMENTATION ABOUT WHAT BEVERAGES
THEY DID OR DID NOT HAVE ON THAT
LONG, HISTORIC NIGHT OF STANDING?
THIS IS STILL A JOKE
TO YOU, YOUNG MAN.
I DON'T CHOOSE TO BE A JOKE.
WE DON'T NEED YOUR COFFEE.
HARRY, PLEASE. TAKE THE COFFEE.
MY FATHER WOULD
HAVE TAKEN THE COFFEE.
WELL, ALL RIGHT,
THEN. THANK YOU.
ANDREW?
THANK YOU, LUKE.
KIRK?
YOU GOT ANY HERBAL TEA?
UH, NOT ON ME,
BUT I CAN GET SOME.
WITH A SQUEEZE OF LEMON.
OK.
I COULD REALLY GO
FOR SOME COCOA.
THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
COCOA FOR ME, TOO.
OK, OK. HANG ON A
MINUTE. ONE HERBAL TEA,
UH, AND 2 COCOAS.
RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE, IT WAS SCARY.
YEAH, THAT PART
WAS A LITTLE SLOW.
SLOW?
BUT IT PICKED UP PRETTY SOON
AFTER THAT, DON'T YOU THINK?

I'M LONGING TO SEE ♪

SOMETHING WRONG?
NO, NOTHING'S WRONG.
ARE YOU SURE?
YEAH, I, UH...
SEE,
I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THE
SNOW, AND ABOUT SEEING YOU...
THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
THAT I DIDN'T REALLY
THINK THIS THING OUT.
AND I USUALLY THINK
THIS KIND OF THING OUT.
SO I'M JUST THINKING
THIS THING OUT.
WH-WHAT THING?
INVITING A MAN OVER TO MY HOUSE.
OK.
SEE, I HAVE REALLY STRICT
RULES ABOUT DATING.
I KEEP MY PERSONAL LIFE TOTALLY
SEPARATE FROM MY LIFE WITH RORY.
YOU KNOW, I NEVER WANT
HER TO FEEL UNSETTLED
OR LIKE HER LIFE COULD
JUST SHIFT AT ANY MOMENT.
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.
AND SHE COMES FIRST,
AND THIS HER HOUSE, TOO.
I UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
YOU DON'T DO OFTEN.
EVER. EVER?
NEVER. I SEE.
I MEAN, I'VE DATED.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW,
DATED.
BUT, UH, I'VE JUST NEVER...
DATED HERE
IN OUR HOUSE.
WHAT IF I PROMISED YOU
THAT IF YOU LET ME IN,
ALL I'M EXPECTING IS
A... IS A CUP OF COFFEE?
THAT'S IT.
NOTHING WEIRD OR FUNNY.
UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU'RE
INTO WEIRD AND FUNNY,
'CAUSE I COULD DO
WEIRD AND FUNNY.
LORELAI,
I'VE BEEN ENJOYING THE
HELL OUT OF MYSELF TONIGHT
AND I THINK YOU ARE, TOO.
I AM.
WELL, SO, IT'S, UH,
SNOWING, COLD,
AND YOUR DAUGHTER IS ELSEWHERE.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
THE WHOLE NIGHT'S BEEN
A WEIRD KISMET OF EVENTS.
OH, IT'S THAT FATE GUY AGAIN.
AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE,
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
DECIDE THAT SOME GUY
IS WORTH OPENING
THAT FRONT DOOR FOR.
I AM JUST VOLUNTEERING.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME COFFEE?
SO, HOW STRONG DO
YOU LIKE YOUR COFFEE?
BECAUSE I'VE BUILT UP
SUCH A TOLERANCE TO IT,
I USUALLY MAKE IT TOO
INTENSE FOR MOST PEOPLE.
YEAH, I LIVED THROUGH
THE FIESTA BURGER.
DON'T HOLD BACK NOW.
OK.
CAN I HELP?
UM, YEAH, YOU CAN
FILL UP THE POT.
OOH, I'M VERY GOOD AT THAT.
6 CUPS SOUNDS GOOD?
FINE.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA HAVE?
YOU DO KNOW THAT WAS A
LEADING QUESTION, RIGHT?
REALLY? HOW SO?
HOW BADLY DO YOU
WANT THAT COFFEE?
NOT THAT BADLY.
SUCH A GOOD ANSWER.
HOW MANY KIDS DID
YOU SAY YOU HAVE?
ONE. WHY?
LANE! HI! HI!
WHAT A... WE'RE JUST...
WHAT'RE... WHAT'RE...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M SORRY. I WAS
WAITING FOR RORY.
I'LL JUST GO BACK INTO HER ROOM,
AND I WON'T COME
BACK OUT. I PROMISE.
OH,
THAT'S THE CURE. I HAVE
TO GO BACK IN THERE.
IT'S OK, I'LL... I'LL
FINISH UP THE COFFEE.
I'LL BE BACK AS FAST
AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.
GOOD.

HEY!
SORRY I MESSED UP YOUR DATE.
YOU DIDN'T MESS UP MY
DATE. WHAT'S GOING ON?
I WAS WAITING FOR
RORY TO GET HOME.
SWEETIE, RORY'S STUCK
IN HARTFORD TONIGHT.
OH, I DIDN'T KNOW.
I'LL JUST GO.
HEY, DO YOU WANT TO TALK?
I'M NOT RORY, BUT WE DO
USE THE SAME BLOW DRYER.
I DID SOMETHING
REALLY STUPID TODAY.
OK, WHAT DID YOU PIERCE?
NOTHING.
I TOUCHED A BOY'S HAIR.
OK.
A BOY I REALLY LIKE.
SO FAR I'M MISSING
THE STUPID PART.
I KIND OF DID IT
WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION.
NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
I MEAN, I WAS JUST
STANDING THERE.
AND THEN HE BENDS OVER,
AND HIS HAIR FALLS FORWARD
AND SUDDENLY IT'S LIKE MY
HAND HAS A LIFE OF ITS OWN.
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR HAND HAD
LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR HORMONES.
GOD, I'M SO HUMILIATED.
I CAN'T EVER GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
I'LL HAVE TO BE HOME-SCHOOLED.
MY MOTHER FINALLY GETS HER WAY.
LOOK AT IT FROM A
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.
YOU HAVE SO MANY YEARS
OF SCREW-UPS AHEAD OF YOU.
VIEW THIS AS A TRIAL RUN FOR
REALLY GROWN-UP HUMILIATION.
SO NOT HELPING.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD
BE A HAIRDRESSER.
LORELAI! YES. IT'S PERFECT.
YOU CAN RUN YOUR HANDS
THROUGH ANYBODY'S HAIR
AND THEY'LL PAY YOU FOR IT.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
I MEAN, EVERYONE AT SCHOOL'S
GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT ME.
I CAN'T SHOW MY FACE.
EVERYBODY DOES STUPID
THINGS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
IT'S LIKE A REQUIREMENT.
NOT LIKE THIS!
NO, SOME PEOPLE GET PREGNANT.
TALK ABOUT SOMETHING REALLY
JUICY FOR THE GOSSIP MILL.
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.
YEAH.
EVERYBODY SCREWS UP,
LANE. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
IT'S WHAT YOU DO
WITH THE SCREW-UPS,
IT'S HOW YOU HANDLE
THE EXPERIENCE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD
JUDGE YOURSELF BY.
I HAVE A GREAT LIFE
AND AN AMAZING KID.
AND I TOOK A DETOUR.
I ENDED UP SOMEPLACE GOOD.
YEAH.
TELL ME THIS.
HOW DID HIS HAIR FEEL?
GOOD AS IT LOOKED?
BETTER.
OH, YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE.
I'M POSITIVE ABOUT THAT.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
SO WHO'S THE GUY?
RORY'S TEACHER.
OH. HE HAS NICE HAIR.
YEAH.
HEY.
HEY.
EVERYTHING OK IN THERE?
IT WILL BE.
SO, WHERE DID WE LEAVE OFF?
UH-UH-OH.
LANE IS GONNA STAY HERE TONIGHT.
SHE HAD A REALLY BAD TEEN DAY
AND SHE NEEDS TO CRASH
SOMEPLACE SYMPATHETIC.
OK, I UNDERSTAND.
I SWEAR TO GOD, IF THIS WASN'T
A MAJOR JUDY BLUME MOMENT,
I WOULD KICK HER CUTE
LITTLE BUTT RIGHT OUT OF HERE.
CAN YOU RECOMMEND A HOTEL
THAT'S REALLY, REALLY CLOSE TO HERE?
WHY DON'T YOU JUST STAY HERE
TONIGHT? EVERYBODY ELSE IS.
I DON'T KNOW.
REALLY, THE COUCH
IS COMFORTABLE.
AND THERE'S PILLOWS
AND BLANKETS.
AND THE BATHROOM'S
THROUGH THERE.
AND THE KITCHEN
HAS NOTHING IN IT
BUT RUNNING WATER,
IF YOU GET THIRSTY.
AND IT'S AN AWFUL NIGHT.
OK, IF IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
NOT AT ALL.
COULD I AT LEAST GIVE
YOU A KISS GOOD-NIGHT?
ONLY IF YOU INTEND
TO LIVE TILL MORNING.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
HI!
HI! WHAT'S UP?
NOTHING. WHAT'S UP WITH YOU?
YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL ME.
BOY, YOU'RE SO SMART.
RIGHT. OK. HERE WE GO.
I'VE GOT A BOY IN THE HOUSE.
YOU WHAT?
NOTHING HAPPENED, I SWEAR. HE
SLEPT THE NIGHT ON THE COUCH.
AND YOU KNOW HIM.
I DO?
AND YOU LIKE HIM! I DON'T
KNOW IF THAT'S RELEVANT.
I JUST THOUGHT THAT I
WOULD THROW THAT IN THERE.
IT'S MR. MEDINA.
I KNOW. MY ENGLISH
TEACHER IS ON MY COUCH.
IT WAS THE SNOW.
YOU KNOW HOW I
GET. IT'S LIKE CATNIP.
I WAS WALKING. HE WAS THERE.
HIS CAR WAS BROKEN.
WE HAD FIESTA BURGERS.
IT WAS THE SNOW.
RORY, SAY SOMETHING.
RORY, TALK TO ME.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
I DON'T KNOW.
ANGRY, FRUSTRATED, NAUSEOUS?
WEIRD. I... I FEEL WEIRD.
HAS HE BEEN HERE ALL NIGHT?
PRETTY MUCH.
OH, MY GOD! DID HE GO
INTO THE BATHROOM?
I HAVE STUFF HANGING IN THERE!
HONEY, YOU KNEW I WAS
GONNA DATE HIM, RIGHT?
THIS ISN'T A TOTAL SURPRISE.
YES, I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA DATE.
I JUST DIDN'T EXPECT
FOR HIM TO BE HERE
AT OUR HOUSE IN THE MORNING.
I KNOW.
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER EVER
THERE BEING A MAN IN OUR HOUSE.
YEAH, WELL, I KIND
OF BROKE THE RULES.
GOD, WHY IS THIS
SO WEIRD FOR ME?
BECAUSE I SHOULD
HAVE TOLD YOU FIRST.
NO.
BECAUSE I SHOULD HAVE
TALKED TO YOU BEFORE I DID THIS.
NO.
BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID HE SMOOSHED
THE COUCH PILLOWS OUT OF SHAPE?
DO YOU LOVE HIM?
I...
WE HAD ONE DATE.
IT WAS A GREAT DATE.
WORLD SERIES LEVEL.
BUT IT WAS JUST A DATE.
HONEY, I PROMISED
MYSELF A LONG TIME AGO
THAT I WAS GONNA KEEP ALL
THIS STUFF SEPARATE FROM YOU.
AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT STILL STANDS, OK?
THIS WAS A ONE-TIME THING.
I'M NOT GONNA START
JUST BRINGING GUYS HOME.
THIS IS NOT A TREND.
YOU CAN, YOU KNOW.
WHAT?
BRING GUYS HOME.
I MEAN, IF YOU LIKE SOMEONE, YOU
SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THAT.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY.
AND I LOVE YOU FOR THAT.
PLUS, I KNOW YOU'RE
NOT A CAT PERSON.
SO YOU TRULY WILL BE ALONE
IF YOU DON'T FIND SOMEONE.
OK, LOOK, SOMEDAY,
I WILL BRING SOMEBODY HOME.
BUT WHEN I DO, I JUST WANT
TO BE SURE IT'S THE GUY.
MR. MEDINA'S NOT THE GUY?
I DON'T KNOW. HE MIGHT BE.
BUT RIGHT NOW,
IT'S JUST YOU AND ME.
AND SOMETIMES LANE.
HEY.
HEY.
UH, I'M GONNA GO
WAKE THE MAN UP.
YOUR MOM LET ME
SPEND THE NIGHT HERE.
I TRIED CALLING
YOU BACK ALL NIGHT,
BUT THE PHONES DIDN'T
TURN BACK ON UNTIL MORNING.
THAT'S OK. I UNDERSTAND.
LANE, I'M SO SORRY.
I'VE BEEN THE
WORST FRIEND LATELY.
NO, I JUST WIGGED OUT A LITTLE.
I GET JEALOUS SOMETIMES.
I MEAN, YOU SEEM TO HAVE
THIS REALLY GREAT LIFE GOING
AND I DON'T REALLY FIT IN THERE.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
YOU TOTALLY FIT IN.
YEAH?
I'M TALKING LEGOS.
I HOPE SO.
I WILL BE BETTER FROM
NOW ON, I PROMISE.
24 HOURS A DAY,
AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
DEAN WILL LOVE THAT.
WELL, HE'LL HAVE
TO. YOU CAME FIRST.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I GOT DIBS.
OK. I HAVE TO GO HOME.
COFFEE AT LUKE'S, 2:00?
YOU'RE ON.
AND I WANNA HEAR ALL ABOUT
THAT HAIR-TOUCHING INCIDENT.
YEAH. AND I WANNA HEAR THE REST OF
THE TEACHER-ON-THE-COUCH INCIDENT.
DEAL.
