1
00:00:01,180 --> 00:00:02,776
- It still hurts!
- Do you need stitches?
2
00:00:02,927 --> 00:00:04,444
- Probably.
- We should go to a doctor.
3
00:00:04,592 --> 00:00:07,339
No. No doctors. You go into a
hospital, you don't come out again!
4
00:00:07,547 --> 00:00:08,978
RORY: Well said,
Ida Morgenstern.
5
00:00:09,129 --> 00:00:10,685
LORELAI: I'm starving.
I need pancakes.
6
00:00:10,710 --> 00:00:11,778
- Can I just ask...
- No.
7
00:00:11,917 --> 00:00:13,711
What on earth you
thought you were doing?
8
00:00:13,873 --> 00:00:15,780
I thought I was being
a self-sufficient woman.
9
00:00:15,954 --> 00:00:17,385
You hate ladders.
You hate heights.
10
00:00:17,536 --> 00:00:19,091
We needed our
rain gutters cleaned.
11
00:00:19,284 --> 00:00:20,760
Yeah, well, hire somebody.
12
00:00:20,990 --> 00:00:22,738
Aren't we suddenly
a Rockefeller.
13
00:00:22,904 --> 00:00:24,421
It's better than
you killing yourself.
14
00:00:24,528 --> 00:00:26,833
I'm fine. I'm just being
dramatic. It's what I do.
15
00:00:27,025 --> 00:00:28,058
No more ladders.
16
00:00:28,190 --> 00:00:29,461
- I promise.
- Okay.
17
00:00:29,606 --> 00:00:30,638
I think I have gangrene.
18
00:00:30,770 --> 00:00:32,360
- You do not.
- And vertigo.
19
00:00:32,518 --> 00:00:34,824
- Oh, boy.
- One leg feels shorter than the other.
20
00:00:35,016 --> 00:00:37,132
This is gonna be the Vanity
Fair paper-cut incident...
21
00:00:37,221 --> 00:00:38,936
- all over again, isn't it?
- Wow.
22
00:00:39,094 --> 00:00:40,241
Leave your bandage alone.
23
00:00:40,385 --> 00:00:42,848
Look, it's turning purple, but
a really glowy purple! Look!
24
00:00:43,048 --> 00:00:44,444
No, thanks.
25
00:00:44,589 --> 00:00:48,460
Maybe our rain gutters are radioactive
or made out of some kind of alien metal...
26
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:52,058
so when I cut my hand, I got infected
with an extraterrestrial substance...
27
00:00:52,288 --> 00:00:54,752
which is altering
my internal makeup.
28
00:00:55,076 --> 00:00:57,029
- Maybe I'll turn into a superhero!
- Maybe.
29
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:00,469
Like, maybe tomorrow I'll wake up and
suddenly be able to shower really fast.
30
00:01:00,695 --> 00:01:02,841
We'll go pick out your
cape after breakfast.
31
00:01:03,025 --> 00:01:04,023
[Bell dings]
32
00:02:00,211 --> 00:02:02,799
God, I'm starving. Must
be from the loss of blood.
33
00:02:02,999 --> 00:02:04,191
Yes, that must be it.
34
00:02:04,331 --> 00:02:06,476
I'm getting pancakes
with a side of pancakes.
35
00:02:06,661 --> 00:02:08,852
- Where's Luke?
- I don't know. Storage room?
36
00:02:09,492 --> 00:02:10,525
Oh, no.
37
00:02:10,656 --> 00:02:12,405
- Caesar's cooking.
- Why is Caesar cooking?
38
00:02:12,571 --> 00:02:14,320
- I don't know.
- That's bad.
39
00:02:14,486 --> 00:02:16,042
- His pancakes stink.
- They do stink.
40
00:02:16,193 --> 00:02:18,066
What do we do, resort to donuts?
41
00:02:18,231 --> 00:02:19,502
Wait here.
42
00:02:27,554 --> 00:02:29,269
- Luke, are you in there?
- [Banging] Ow.
43
00:02:30,634 --> 00:02:32,268
Luke, are you okay?
44
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,191
Stupid lamp!
45
00:02:34,588 --> 00:02:37,097
Hey, Luke, are you being
attacked by your possessions again?
46
00:02:38,375 --> 00:02:39,641
LUKE: Hi. LORELAI:
What're you doing?
47
00:02:39,665 --> 00:02:41,221
I'm looking for
my supply ledger.
48
00:02:41,372 --> 00:02:42,848
- Is it going well?
- It's going fine.
49
00:02:42,995 --> 00:02:45,459
You have a sock on your
shoulder. Is it helping you look?
50
00:02:45,658 --> 00:02:47,799
- What're you doing up here?
- Rory and I are starving.
51
00:02:47,823 --> 00:02:49,254
We need you to
cook us breakfast.
52
00:02:51,069 --> 00:02:53,294
- Oh, my God.
- Caesar can make you breakfast.
53
00:02:53,649 --> 00:02:56,158
- What happened to this place?
- Nothing.
54
00:02:56,396 --> 00:02:58,991
This is what I always pictured
the inside of my head to look like.
55
00:02:59,144 --> 00:03:02,095
- Find a brown leather ledger.
- I've never seen so much stuff.
56
00:03:02,307 --> 00:03:04,055
It looks like a
white-trash Hearst Castle.
57
00:03:04,221 --> 00:03:05,736
On second thought,
I'll find it myself.
58
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,860
Where did all this come from?
59
00:03:06,884 --> 00:03:09,189
Jess. Liz shipped the
rest of his stuff last week.
60
00:03:09,382 --> 00:03:11,368
- He finally unpacked.
- He did a very nice job.
61
00:03:11,546 --> 00:03:14,134
I know it's crazy now, but I
just have to get it all organized...
62
00:03:14,334 --> 00:03:16,843
figure out where to put
everything, buy another dresser...
63
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:18,629
a portable wardrobe,
some storage bins.
64
00:03:18,788 --> 00:03:20,012
Can of gasoline, box of matches.
65
00:03:20,036 --> 00:03:21,784
Did I mention Caesar
can cook you breakfast?
66
00:03:21,951 --> 00:03:24,619
But he doesn't make the
good, fluffy pancakes like you do.
67
00:03:24,823 --> 00:03:26,889
- Then order eggs.
- No.
68
00:03:27,986 --> 00:03:31,176
- See, I had a near-death experience today.
- Really?
69
00:03:31,399 --> 00:03:34,747
Yes. I almost fell off the roof of my
house trying to clean the rain gutters...
70
00:03:35,019 --> 00:03:37,369
so I have to have
pancakes. Please?
71
00:03:37,558 --> 00:03:40,385
I'll help you shower when
I become a superhero.
72
00:03:40,971 --> 00:03:42,447
You've been in
there for two hours.
73
00:03:42,594 --> 00:03:44,944
Yeah, well, my hair just ain't
bouncing and behaving today.
74
00:03:45,132 --> 00:03:47,278
There are other people
living here, too, you know.
75
00:03:47,463 --> 00:03:49,609
Learn something new every day.
76
00:03:51,542 --> 00:03:53,449
His people skills
are really improving.
77
00:03:53,623 --> 00:03:55,734
Go downstairs. I'll be
there as soon as I can.
78
00:03:55,912 --> 00:03:57,269
- How long is that?
- I don't know.
79
00:03:57,327 --> 00:03:58,469
- An estimate.
- I don't know.
80
00:03:58,493 --> 00:04:00,241
Ballpark figure. Off
the top of your head.
81
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:02,790
- Will you...
- Did I mention I almost fell off my roof?
82
00:04:02,987 --> 00:04:05,451
I'd lie down if I
could find the bed.
83
00:04:06,025 --> 00:04:08,330
- Is this what you're looking for?
- Great. Thank you.
84
00:04:08,523 --> 00:04:09,874
Not unless you
make the pancakes.
85
00:04:10,021 --> 00:04:12,689
- Give me the book.
- Give me the pancake!
86
00:04:12,893 --> 00:04:14,925
- Come on.
- Thank you.
87
00:04:16,098 --> 00:04:18,772
You sure you weren't almost pushed
off the roof of your house today?
88
00:04:18,803 --> 00:04:19,801
[Lorelai giggles]
89
00:04:22,548 --> 00:04:24,342
I think I'm finally
ready to get a tattoo.
90
00:04:24,505 --> 00:04:25,503
- Oh, please.
- I am.
91
00:04:25,628 --> 00:04:28,694
- You've been saying that for five years.
- I know. But I mean it this time.
92
00:04:28,916 --> 00:04:30,143
Fine. What are you getting?
93
00:04:30,289 --> 00:04:32,322
- Mel Brooks.
- Why?
94
00:04:32,496 --> 00:04:33,767
What do you mean "why"?
95
00:04:33,911 --> 00:04:36,862
The 2000 Year Oldman, Young
Frankenstein, Silent Movie.
96
00:04:37,074 --> 00:04:39,788
You don't think Mel has earned
the right to have his face on my butt?
97
00:04:39,904 --> 00:04:41,050
I am so sorry, Mel.
98
00:04:41,194 --> 00:04:43,227
He'll love it. Trust me.
99
00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:46,226
Rocky road hot fudge sundaes...
and two cans of whipped cream
100
00:04:46,438 --> 00:04:48,425
Trying to give Mel a
bigger canvas to work with?
101
00:04:48,602 --> 00:04:51,111
The man's a legend.
He deserves the best.
102
00:04:51,307 --> 00:04:52,340
Hey.
103
00:04:52,473 --> 00:04:53,824
- What?
- Luke.
104
00:04:54,346 --> 00:04:56,730
RORY: What's he doing?
LORELAI: I'm not sure.
105
00:04:56,925 --> 00:04:59,832
Get the ice cream and make sure
they give us maraschino cherries.
106
00:05:00,048 --> 00:05:01,479
- Okay.
- Thanks.
107
00:05:14,655 --> 00:05:17,164
- What are you doing?
- Rory and I just hit the video store.
108
00:05:17,361 --> 00:05:19,949
We're on going home to eat
something you wouldn't approve of.
109
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:21,501
Sounds good.
110
00:05:22,771 --> 00:05:23,964
What are you doing?
111
00:05:24,103 --> 00:05:25,420
Watching TV.
112
00:05:26,434 --> 00:05:29,546
Wow, that's cute. Is it the first
time it's been away from its mother?
113
00:05:29,763 --> 00:05:31,511
It's a very good TV.
114
00:05:31,803 --> 00:05:34,391
Black and white, coat-hanger
antenna, really bad reception.
115
00:05:34,592 --> 00:05:35,863
It's fine.
116
00:05:36,007 --> 00:05:37,755
Don't you have a fully
grown TV upstairs?
117
00:05:37,921 --> 00:05:39,749
Yeah, well, Jess is upstairs.
118
00:05:39,918 --> 00:05:41,825
- So?
- So when Jess is upstairs...
119
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,713
that means the stereo's
blaring and the place is a mess.
120
00:05:44,913 --> 00:05:46,468
I just needed a little privacy.
121
00:05:46,619 --> 00:05:47,845
So you came downstairs...
122
00:05:47,993 --> 00:05:50,218
- Yes.
- To sit on an uncomfortable chair...
123
00:05:50,407 --> 00:05:52,280
in an empty diner that
smells like onion rings.
124
00:05:52,446 --> 00:05:53,921
- Yes.
- Calgon take me away!
125
00:05:54,069 --> 00:05:56,782
It was very peaceful
until two minutes ago.
126
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,233
Did you ever think that maybe
you should get a bigger apartment?
127
00:06:00,436 --> 00:06:01,714
I don't need a bigger apartment.
128
00:06:01,769 --> 00:06:03,642
That place upstairs
was your father's office.
129
00:06:03,808 --> 00:06:06,443
You turned it into an apartment.
It was never meant to be lived in.
130
00:06:06,555 --> 00:06:08,428
- It's fine.
- It's too small for two people.
131
00:06:08,594 --> 00:06:11,182
It's too small for one person
if they have any kind of life.
132
00:06:11,383 --> 00:06:12,859
We'll make do.
We just need to...
133
00:06:13,006 --> 00:06:16,196
No, you don't need to
organize. You need to move.
134
00:06:16,418 --> 00:06:17,849
I like my apartment.
135
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,384
It's not just your apartment.
Jess lives there also.
136
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:21,852
- Jess is fine.
- Are you sure?
137
00:06:21,995 --> 00:06:25,424
He could be pinned under a box for a year
in that place and you wouldn't know it...
138
00:06:25,658 --> 00:06:28,088
until the neighbors started
to complain about the smell.
139
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:29,313
Hi, Luke.
140
00:06:29,445 --> 00:06:31,557
Rory. Perfect.
Get her out of here.
141
00:06:31,734 --> 00:06:34,766
Okay, fine. I'm leaving.
Think about what I said.
142
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:38,307
You ever hire anybody
to do that work for you?
143
00:06:38,477 --> 00:06:39,515
- What?
- The rain gutters?
144
00:06:39,643 --> 00:06:42,151
No, not yet. Are you offering?
145
00:06:42,348 --> 00:06:43,785
Actually, I was
thinking about Jess.
146
00:06:44,012 --> 00:06:45,045
Jess.
147
00:06:45,178 --> 00:06:48,765
He's always looking for a little extra
cash. He doesn't make that much here...
148
00:06:49,006 --> 00:06:51,515
and I hate to think of where
else he might try to get it.
149
00:06:51,712 --> 00:06:54,425
You don't have to pay him the
same as you would someone else.
150
00:06:54,625 --> 00:06:56,498
You save a little.
He keeps busy.
151
00:06:56,664 --> 00:07:00,967
Yeah, well, maybe. I actually have
to check with a couple of people...
152
00:07:01,242 --> 00:07:04,354
that I'm supposed to hear from,
but if they can't do it, then, sure.
153
00:07:04,572 --> 00:07:05,765
Great. Just let me know.
154
00:07:05,904 --> 00:07:08,050
I will. Bye.
155
00:07:13,146 --> 00:07:16,019
So, who are all these people
you asked to clean out our gutters?
156
00:07:16,476 --> 00:07:17,474
- You know.
- I do?
157
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:18,871
- Sure.
- Remind me?
158
00:07:19,014 --> 00:07:20,684
Okay. Well, there's Cid.
159
00:07:20,845 --> 00:07:22,072
Cid, right.
160
00:07:22,218 --> 00:07:24,205
And then there's Lou.
161
00:07:24,383 --> 00:07:25,892
Yeah, a good man, Lou.
162
00:07:26,048 --> 00:07:28,921
And also Moose, that is if Doris
will let him out of the house again...
163
00:07:29,128 --> 00:07:31,511
after that incident at
Chicky's bachelor party.
164
00:07:31,708 --> 00:07:34,932
I thought you said you were
gonna give Jess a chance.
165
00:07:35,495 --> 00:07:36,528
I am.
166
00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:38,091
Then why won't you hire him?
167
00:07:38,242 --> 00:07:41,671
I'm just... not very
comfortable with him, Rory.
168

- You don't.

Well, fine. I don't know him, but
I'm not too fond of his stand-in.

- That's not true.

years just to make him mad.

- What?

Why is it so important
to you that I like him?

Well.
189
00:08:37,383 --> 00:08:40,210

nephew, and we like Luke...

Jess when we eat there every day...

things nicer if you liked him.

- Yes.

- It's all about Luke and the diner.
- Yes.

- It's got nothing to do with you.
- No.

aren't... friends?

that doesn't mean that...

Dictionary definition of "friends."

Right.

How can anyone sleep through
that? It's like the Huns are attacking.

00:15:15,929 --> 00:15:18,642
contain two or more syllables.
And then my mother appears.
334
00:15:18,843 --> 00:15:20,879
Suddenly, we need a thought
bubble over your head...
335
00:15:20,965 --> 00:15:22,918
to understand what
you're thinking. Why?
336
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:24,484
The verbal thing comes and goes.
337
00:15:24,628 --> 00:15:27,421
I would appreciate it if you would
try to get along with my mom.
338
00:15:27,624 --> 00:15:29,339
- I took the Coke.
- I know.
339
00:15:29,497 --> 00:15:32,687
I think it's a little crazy to put
lemon in Coke, but I took it anyhow.
340
00:15:32,910 --> 00:15:35,464
- Stop it.
- Ooooh. Stern face.
341
00:15:35,657 --> 00:15:37,530
Look, I went out
on a limb for you...
342
00:15:37,697 --> 00:15:40,211
trying to get my mom to give
you the benefit of the doubt, okay.
343
00:15:40,276 --> 00:15:42,232
I don't think it would
hurt you to try to be nice.
344
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,671
- Why?
- Why?
345
00:15:43,815 --> 00:15:44,812
Yeah. Why?
346
00:15:44,980 --> 00:15:47,489
Because she's my mom,
and she's a friend of Luke's.
347
00:15:47,685 --> 00:15:49,002
- So?
- What do you mean "so"?
348
00:15:49,141 --> 00:15:53,171
Because she's your mom or Luke's friend
doesn't mean I have to get along with her.
349
00:15:53,428 --> 00:15:56,732
Jess, my mother is a great person.
She's also my best friend in the world.
350
00:15:56,966 --> 00:16:01,190
So if you care about me at all, you will
consider that and be mildly polite to her.
351
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:03,652
What makes you
think I care about you?
352
00:16:03,999 --> 00:16:07,348
I don't mean care,
care, like a "care."
353
00:16:07,579 --> 00:16:10,769
I mean if you like me at all...
Not "like," like. I just meant that if...
354
00:16:11,699 --> 00:16:13,890
If you think of me remotely...
355
00:16:14,072 --> 00:16:17,103
as the sort of person that you
could occasionally stand to talk to...
356
00:16:17,318 --> 00:16:19,473
then you will try to get
along with my mom. That's all.
357
00:16:19,565 --> 00:16:21,234
- Okay.
- Okay.
358
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,751
I can't guarantee that
it'll work, but I'll try.
359
00:16:23,936 --> 00:16:25,922
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
360
00:16:26,266 --> 00:16:28,252
I should probably get to work.
361
00:16:28,430 --> 00:16:30,655
Right. Sorry. Go ahead.
362
00:16:53,485 --> 00:16:56,232
RORY: inherit the Wind.
Seventy-five cents. DEAN: Great.
363
00:16:56,482 --> 00:16:58,753
Here's a copy of Rilke's
Letters to a Young Poet...
364
00:16:58,937 --> 00:17:00,492
which I already
have, but in hardback.
365
00:17:00,643 --> 00:17:04,344
This is a paperback. It fits perfectly
in a coat pocket, and it's only $1.
366
00:17:04,598 --> 00:17:05,790
- Opinions?
- Get it.
367
00:17:05,929 --> 00:17:07,723
- You look bored.
- I'm fine.
368
00:17:07,886 --> 00:17:10,077
Sure you don't want to
look? They have great stuff.
369
00:17:10,257 --> 00:17:11,927
- I looked.
- For five minutes.
370
00:17:12,089 --> 00:17:14,234
No, I looked for 20
minutes, and then I stopped...
371
00:17:14,420 --> 00:17:16,372
and you continued
for another two hours.
372
00:17:16,542 --> 00:17:18,495
It has not been that long.
373
00:17:19,663 --> 00:17:20,980
- Sorry.
- No big deal.
374
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:22,188
- Let's go.
- Are you done?
375
00:17:22,327 --> 00:17:24,756
- I've looked enough.
- You're not done.
376
00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:26,618
No, I'm fine, really. Let's go.
377
00:17:26,780 --> 00:17:29,005
Rory, stop it. You want to
keep looking. I know you.
378
00:17:29,194 --> 00:17:30,625
No, I want to hang out with you.
379
00:17:30,776 --> 00:17:32,002
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
380
00:17:32,150 --> 00:17:34,341
I'll just pay for these,
and then we can go.
381
00:17:34,522 --> 00:17:36,871
I thought we could go see
The Lord of the Rings again.
382
00:17:37,060 --> 00:17:38,253
- Okay.
- What?
383
00:17:38,392 --> 00:17:39,390
Nothing.
384
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:41,264
- I thought you loved it.
- I do.
385
00:17:41,431 --> 00:17:43,065
You said you wanted
to see it 100 times.
386
00:17:43,220 --> 00:17:45,173
Yes, and we're being
very literal these days.
387
00:17:45,342 --> 00:17:47,538
- We'll see something else.
- Lord of the Rings is fine.
388
00:17:47,631 --> 00:17:48,744
Can you help me with these?
389
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:52,861
- I'll give you 50 cents.
- It's 65.
390
00:17:53,042 --> 00:17:53,800
Fifty-five cents.
391
00:17:53,812 --> 00:17:55,676
Kirk, it's for charity.
There's no haggling.
392
00:17:55,872 --> 00:17:59,256
No, there's always haggling.
Sixty cents. That's my final offer.
393
00:17:59,493 --> 00:18:01,128
- I'm sorry, I can't.
- Fine.
394
00:18:01,282 --> 00:18:03,360
Kirk, come on, cough
up another nickel.
395
00:18:03,372 --> 00:18:05,665
Forget it. It's the
principle of the thing.
396
00:18:07,609 --> 00:18:08,833
Wow. You made out like a bandit.
397
00:18:08,857 --> 00:18:10,367
You've got great
stuff this year.
398
00:18:10,522 --> 00:18:12,555
Did you see the astronomy
section over there?
399
00:18:12,728 --> 00:18:13,760
Yeah.
400
00:18:13,893 --> 00:18:15,210
- Didn't find anything?
- Nope.
401
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:17,199
- Wait. I didn't see you look over there.
- I did.
402
00:18:17,223 --> 00:18:19,130
- Go look.
- I told you, I'm done.
403
00:18:19,304 --> 00:18:20,301
[Dean sighs]
404
00:18:20,802 --> 00:18:22,835
- Where's your bracelet?
- What?
405
00:18:23,008 --> 00:18:24,404
You're not wearing
your bracelet.
406
00:18:24,547 --> 00:18:25,943
- Oh.
- Where is it?
407
00:18:26,504 --> 00:18:28,219
- I took it off.
- Why?
408
00:18:28,751 --> 00:18:31,578
Well, because I got this
weird rash on my wrist.
409
00:18:31,790 --> 00:18:34,663
- From the bracelet?
- No, just a fluke thing.
410
00:18:34,869 --> 00:18:37,095
Actually, I think my Spanish
midterm gave it to me.
411
00:18:37,325 --> 00:18:38,358
Oh.
412
00:18:38,491 --> 00:18:40,781
But it's getting better.
It's almost gone.
413
00:18:40,793 --> 00:18:41,159
Good.
414
00:18:41,362 --> 00:18:44,553
As soon as it's completely gone,
that bracelet goes right back on.
415
00:18:46,773 --> 00:18:47,771
So a...
416
00:18:48,271 --> 00:18:49,383
- compromise.
- What?
417
00:18:49,519 --> 00:18:52,153
You go look at the astronomy
section, we'll see Lord of the Rings.
418
00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:54,461
On the way home, we'll
rent Autumn in New York...
419
00:18:54,639 --> 00:18:55,677
and mock it all afternoon.
420
00:18:55,803 --> 00:18:57,473
- With full-on impressions?
- Yes.
421
00:18:57,636 --> 00:18:58,633
Deal.
422
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:00,429
Go. I'll wait here.
423
00:19:01,173 --> 00:19:03,206
Smiling. Not at all bored.
424
00:19:09,455 --> 00:19:11,204
- Sixty-two cents.
- Get out of here, Kirk.
425
00:19:11,369 --> 00:19:12,367
Damn!
426
00:19:51,199 --> 00:19:52,267
[Banging]
427
00:19:52,406 --> 00:19:53,439
Jess.
428
00:19:56,943 --> 00:19:57,940
Hey, Jess.
429
00:19:58,441 --> 00:20:00,236
Sorry. Too loud?
430
00:20:00,397 --> 00:20:02,145
No, it's fine. It's just...
431
00:20:03,061 --> 00:20:05,252
I got a ton of leftover
Chinese food in the kitchen.
432
00:20:05,433 --> 00:20:06,870
I thought you might
like some lunch.
433
00:20:06,931 --> 00:20:08,521
- No, thanks.
- Okay.
434
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:15,513
Chinese sounds great.
435
00:20:16,628 --> 00:20:17,775
Really?
436
00:20:18,793 --> 00:20:20,859
- If you're sure you have enough.
- There's plenty.
437
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,708
Rory and I decided to take on
the chicken column last night.
438
00:20:23,912 --> 00:20:25,183
Ambitious.
439
00:20:25,618 --> 00:20:28,286
It's all out on the table, so
come in when you're ready.
440
00:20:28,490 --> 00:20:31,442
- I'm ready now.
- Okay. Then I'll see you inside.
441
00:20:38,937 --> 00:20:40,969
[Door opening and closing]
442
00:20:44,263 --> 00:20:45,296
So um...
443
00:20:45,429 --> 00:20:47,302
Basically, everything
here is chicken.
444
00:20:47,468 --> 00:20:50,137
You've got garlic chicken, Kung
Pao chicken, Szechwan chicken...
445
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:53,372
chicken in brown sauce, which
looks like the Szechwan chicken...
446
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:56,255
except it's got these red peppers,
and if you eat them, you die.
447
00:20:56,583 --> 00:20:58,014
- Plate?
- I thought I'd...
448
00:20:58,165 --> 00:20:59,959
Soap's on the counter.
449
00:21:00,162 --> 00:21:02,467
So, when was the last time
you had those gutters cleaned?
450
00:21:02,660 --> 00:21:03,693
It's been a while.
451
00:21:03,824 --> 00:21:06,379
Yeah, I found an "I like
Ike" bumper sticker up there.
452
00:21:06,572 --> 00:21:09,398
- Is it really bad?
- It won't be by tomorrow.
453
00:21:09,693 --> 00:21:11,362
I like hearing that.
454
00:21:11,691 --> 00:21:15,641
- You guys aren't too hot on vegetables.
- There's green pepper in the Kung Pao.
455
00:21:15,895 --> 00:21:17,121
My mistake.
456
00:21:17,268 --> 00:21:19,493
- So, are you a healthy eater like Luke?
- No.
457
00:21:19,681 --> 00:21:21,510
No one's a healthy
eater like Luke.
458
00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:24,234
Euell Gibbons wasn't a
healthy eater like Luke.
459
00:21:24,426 --> 00:21:27,061
It's been ages since I heard a
good Euell Gibbons reference.
460
00:21:27,256 --> 00:21:29,479
- Many parts of the pine tree are edible.
- That's right.
461
00:21:29,503 --> 00:21:32,330
I wonder what the research process
was like to get that information.
462
00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:34,687
- I'd say fairly painful.
- Here.
463
00:21:37,578 --> 00:21:39,803
- How's school?
- It's still there.
464
00:21:41,907 --> 00:21:43,701
You on any teams or anything?
465
00:21:43,863 --> 00:21:45,055
No, no.
466
00:21:45,736 --> 00:21:48,244
- Not a jersey guy?
- Definitely not a jersey guy.
467
00:21:48,441 --> 00:21:50,796
Though the thought of throwing
a ball at some jock's head...
468
00:21:50,855 --> 00:21:51,967
isn't entirely unappealing.
469
00:21:54,517 --> 00:21:57,628
Look, I'm not really good
at this small-talk thing.
470
00:21:57,847 --> 00:21:59,402
You're doing okay.
471
00:21:59,886 --> 00:22:01,873
- Cold egg roll?
- Why not?
472
00:22:06,587 --> 00:22:08,256
- Bad?
- Oh, yeah.
473
00:22:10,748 --> 00:22:13,178
RORY: Mom! LORELAI:
Here, right here. What?
474
00:22:13,537 --> 00:22:14,535
RORY: Mom!
475
00:22:15,077 --> 00:22:16,075
What's going on?
476
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,716
- I don't know where it is.
- Where what is?
477
00:22:17,740 --> 00:22:18,773
My bracelet. It's gone.
478
00:22:18,906 --> 00:22:20,382
What are you talking about?
479
00:22:20,529 --> 00:22:22,005
How could I lose that bracelet?
480
00:22:22,153 --> 00:22:24,219
Tell me which bracelet.
Maybe I stole it from you.
481
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,398
Dean's bracelet.
482
00:22:25,524 --> 00:22:26,623
- The one he made you?
- Yes.
483
00:22:26,647 --> 00:22:27,680
- It's gone?
- Yes.
484
00:22:27,813 --> 00:22:28,912
- Where?
- I don't know where.
485
00:22:28,936 --> 00:22:30,120
If I knew where,
I would have it.
486
00:22:30,144 --> 00:22:32,051
When did you first
notice it was gone?
487
00:22:32,224 --> 00:22:33,948
When he pointed out
that I wasn't wearing it.
488
00:22:33,972 --> 00:22:35,050
Not good. What did you say?
489
00:22:35,179 --> 00:22:37,450
That I had a rash and had
to take it off until it healed.
490
00:22:37,635 --> 00:22:40,098
- Nice save, Gretzky.
- It's not here. It's not here. God.
491
00:22:40,298 --> 00:22:42,285
Let's retrace your steps.
492
00:22:42,462 --> 00:22:45,051
When was the last time
you remember wearing it?
493
00:22:45,251 --> 00:22:46,808
- I don't know.
- Think hard. Yesterday?
494
00:22:46,958 --> 00:22:48,309
- I don't know.
- The day before?
495
00:22:48,455 --> 00:22:49,613
- The day before that?
- Yeah.
496
00:22:49,705 --> 00:22:51,976
- Really?
- No. I don't remember. I can't remember.
497
00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:53,511
Help me move the couch.
498
00:22:53,658 --> 00:22:55,009
What about your
locker at school?
499
00:22:55,156 --> 00:22:56,587
I don't know why
it would be there.
500
00:22:56,738 --> 00:22:59,292
I never take it off at school.
I never take it off at all.
501
00:22:59,485 --> 00:23:00,802
- Anything?
- Just Grandma's pen.
502
00:23:00,942 --> 00:23:02,451
Leave it there.
It makes life fun.
503
00:23:02,606 --> 00:23:04,639
- I'm gonna freak out now.
- We'll find it.
504
00:23:04,812 --> 00:23:07,605
- I'll have to tell Dean that I lost it.
- Let's not go there yet.
505
00:23:07,809 --> 00:23:09,449
- He made it for me.
- He'll make another one.
506
00:23:09,473 --> 00:23:11,030
- He's gonna be mad.
- He'll understand.
507
00:23:11,097 --> 00:23:12,165
How do you know?
508
00:23:12,303 --> 00:23:14,858
Looking at the track record, all
signs point to he'll understand.
509
00:23:15,050 --> 00:23:16,720
- Did you look in your room?
- No.
510
00:23:16,882 --> 00:23:18,551
I'll check the car,
and don't worry.
511
00:23:18,713 --> 00:23:20,520
If worse comes to worse
and we can't find it...
512
00:23:20,544 --> 00:23:21,661
we'll follow Dean to work...
513
00:23:21,709 --> 00:23:23,980
hide behind the cantaloupes,
jump him, blind him...
514
00:23:24,165 --> 00:23:25,163
and he'll never find out.
515
00:23:25,289 --> 00:23:27,241
RORY: As long as we have a plan.
516
00:23:44,725 --> 00:23:46,792
Who is Randy Meenge?
517
00:23:46,972 --> 00:23:49,606
LORELAI: Let me
see. Maintenance.
518
00:23:50,385 --> 00:23:52,292
Are you going to
be down there long?
519
00:23:52,841 --> 00:23:54,876
LORELAI: I just want to
make sure Rory's bracelet...
520
00:23:55,047 --> 00:23:56,557
didn't get kicked
behind something.
521
00:23:56,711 --> 00:23:59,346
And so earlier when you asked
me to look for the bracelet...
522
00:23:59,541 --> 00:24:02,573
and I told you I did look,
and I did not find it, you...
523
00:24:02,787 --> 00:24:03,985
LORELAI: Just double-checking.
524
00:24:04,078 --> 00:24:07,029
Yes, though another theory
is that you did not believe me.
525
00:24:07,241 --> 00:24:08,239
LORELAI: I did, too.
526
00:24:08,364 --> 00:24:10,034
No. I believe you
thought I was lying...
527
00:24:10,196 --> 00:24:12,626
that I did not actually get
down on my hands and knees...
528
00:24:12,818 --> 00:24:15,565
in a brand-new Donna Karan
suit, and crawl around on a floor...
529
00:24:15,772 --> 00:24:18,724
where people who have stepped in
mud and garbage and animal waste...
530
00:24:18,936 --> 00:24:21,081
have been
traipsing all day long.
531
00:24:21,808 --> 00:24:24,113
- It's not there.
- No? Why, I'm shocked.
532
00:24:24,305 --> 00:24:26,258
Okay. I'm sorry I
doubted you, Michel.
533
00:24:26,469 --> 00:24:28,217
That means a lot. Thank you.
534
00:24:28,550 --> 00:24:31,820
We turned the house upside down.
Rory's having a heart attack. It's awful.
535
00:24:32,046 --> 00:24:35,191
As soon as my dry-cleaning bill is
paid, you will have my sympathies.
536
00:24:35,417 --> 00:24:36,735
I will pay for
your suit, Michel.
537
00:24:36,874 --> 00:24:37,942
[Phone rings]
538
00:24:38,081 --> 00:24:40,226
Independence Inn,
Michel speaking.
539
00:24:40,412 --> 00:24:43,046
Hold on, please. It's for you.
540
00:24:43,658 --> 00:24:44,725
Lorelai here.
541
00:24:44,865 --> 00:24:46,713
- I don't want a wood-burning fireplace...
- Luke?
542
00:24:46,737 --> 00:24:48,407
But if I take an
apartment with one...
543
00:24:48,569 --> 00:24:51,396
even though I could
give a rat's ass about it...
544
00:24:51,607 --> 00:24:54,193
I have to pay an extra
$200 a month for it.
545
00:24:54,205 --> 00:24:54,956
Yeah but...
546
00:24:55,311 --> 00:24:57,502
Three of the places make
you put down a $500 deposit...
547
00:24:57,684 --> 00:24:58,991
if you have a dog!
Can you believe it?
548
00:24:59,015 --> 00:25:00,931
- You don't have a dog.
- I know, but it's wrong.
549
00:25:01,096 --> 00:25:02,811
- Agreed. What else?
- Parking!
550
00:25:03,302 --> 00:25:06,129
How can people ask you for a
monthly fee for a parking space?
551
00:25:06,340 --> 00:25:08,645
They're making money off
your rent, off your utilities...
552
00:25:08,838 --> 00:25:10,983
when you use their
coin-operated washer and dryer.
553
00:25:11,168 --> 00:25:13,075
That's cash directly
in their pocket...
554
00:25:13,249 --> 00:25:15,445
and by the way, it's not even
that good a parking space.
555
00:25:15,539 --> 00:25:17,650
It's out in the open
under one of those trees...
556
00:25:17,828 --> 00:25:20,133
that drops the sap on your
car that eats away your paint.
557
00:25:20,324 --> 00:25:21,800
- Luke.
- Who's gonna pay for my car?
558
00:25:21,948 --> 00:25:25,059
Where's my $500
paint-killing, tree-sap deposit?
559
00:25:25,277 --> 00:25:26,503
You haven't found a place yet?
560
00:25:26,651 --> 00:25:28,002
And I've been looking all day.
561
00:25:28,149 --> 00:25:30,135
- There wasn't one place you liked?
- No.
562
00:25:30,313 --> 00:25:33,265
Not one place that gave
you a little feeling of:
563
00:25:33,518 --> 00:25:35,551
"That has a nice vibe about it."
564
00:25:35,723 --> 00:25:36,823
I don't use the word "vibe."
565
00:25:36,847 --> 00:25:37,845
Luke.
566
00:25:38,804 --> 00:25:40,995
Maybe one place wasn't so bad.
567
00:25:41,176 --> 00:25:42,447
Good! Describe it to me.
568
00:25:42,591 --> 00:25:45,861
I don't know. It had walls
with a kind of a floor with a light.
569
00:25:46,087 --> 00:25:48,721
Okay. Hold on here, mister.
If you tell me it's got a roof...
570
00:25:48,917 --> 00:25:50,194
I'm stealing that baby from you.
571
00:25:50,290 --> 00:25:52,640
I just can't tell anymore.
I need a second opinion.
572
00:25:52,871 --> 00:25:54,228
Want me to look
at your apartment?
573
00:25:54,369 --> 00:25:56,674
- It's not my apartment, and yes.
- Done.
574
00:25:56,908 --> 00:25:58,179
- Now.
- What?
575
00:25:58,365 --> 00:25:59,716
- Please.
- Well.
576
00:25:59,863 --> 00:26:01,818
I promised the woman I'd
give her an answer today.
577
00:26:01,943 --> 00:26:03,260
Okay, give me the address.
578
00:26:03,442 --> 00:26:06,269
62½, B Street, and
that's another thing...
579
00:26:06,521 --> 00:26:08,031
what's with this
"half" business?
580
00:26:08,187 --> 00:26:10,900
Why do all these apartments
have this "half" thing going?
581
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:14,290
It's stupid. If 62 is
taken, move on to 63.
582
00:26:14,512 --> 00:26:16,465
Luke, I'll meet you in
20-and-a-half minutes.
583
00:26:16,636 --> 00:26:18,112
- Thank you.
- Bye.
584
00:26:18,841 --> 00:26:22,065
Michel, I have to go out for a
little while. Cover the desk for me.
585
00:26:23,045 --> 00:26:24,113
What?
586
00:26:24,585 --> 00:26:26,730
I'll say I'll cover the desk...
587
00:26:26,916 --> 00:26:28,902
but how will you know
if I'm actually doing it?
588
00:26:29,079 --> 00:26:30,077
I trust you, Michel.
589
00:26:30,203 --> 00:26:32,479
I mean, it's just as possible
I say I'll cover the desk...
590
00:26:32,576 --> 00:26:34,007
and the moment
you stepped away...
591
00:26:34,157 --> 00:26:36,712
I'll put some fruit on my head
and join a conga line somewhere.
592
00:26:36,904 --> 00:26:38,494
I believe you looked
for the bracelet.
593
00:26:38,652 --> 00:26:40,807
And while I am shaking it to
the Miami Sound Machine...
594
00:26:40,858 --> 00:26:45,365
the phones here, they would ring and ring,
and no one to answer, no one to assist.
595
00:26:45,644 --> 00:26:46,915
Okay. Bye.
596
00:26:48,141 --> 00:26:49,731
It's a very quiet street...
597
00:26:49,890 --> 00:26:51,922
and the owner keeps
the building up beautifully.
598
00:26:52,095 --> 00:26:53,968
He hasn't remodeled it at all.
599
00:26:54,134 --> 00:26:58,040
Plus, I bet he could be persuaded to
give the floor a little spruce if you like.
600
00:26:58,297 --> 00:27:00,125
- We'd like a spruce.
- Spruce is unnecessary.
601
00:27:00,294 --> 00:27:01,725
Never turn down a spruce.
602
00:27:01,876 --> 00:27:04,181
- She's right. Listen to her.
- Yeah, listen to me.
603
00:27:04,373 --> 00:27:07,199
- You rarely give me a choice.
- Come here so I can lick your face.
604
00:27:07,411 --> 00:27:10,284
I went over the square footage
and the details of the lease...
605
00:27:10,490 --> 00:27:12,874
with your husband this
morning. Did he fill you in?
606
00:27:13,071 --> 00:27:17,021
- What? No...
- He didn't, but you know how men are.
607
00:27:17,275 --> 00:27:18,944
The minute that ball
game comes on...
608
00:27:19,106 --> 00:27:21,377
all the realities of life just
go right out the window.
609
00:27:21,562 --> 00:27:22,595
Don't I know it.
610
00:27:22,726 --> 00:27:24,602
I could answer the door
wrapped in cellophane...
611
00:27:24,641 --> 00:27:27,990
but unless I was wearing a
Yankees cap, he wouldn't even notice.
612
00:27:28,554 --> 00:27:31,108
Don't be embarrassed,
Snuffy. I'm just teasing.
613
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:32,368
It'd be a Mets cap.
614
00:27:32,507 --> 00:27:36,538
Mary, could you possibly leave
me and little missus alone...
615
00:27:36,794 --> 00:27:37,941
for just a minute?
616
00:27:38,084 --> 00:27:40,798
- Why, of course.
- I promise we won't do anything dirty.
617
00:27:41,206 --> 00:27:43,760
If my husband and I looked
anything like the two of you...
618
00:27:43,953 --> 00:27:45,065
we'd never get dressed.
619
00:27:45,201 --> 00:27:46,427
You are bad.
620
00:27:46,574 --> 00:27:48,607
Let me leave this rental
agreement with you...
621
00:27:48,780 --> 00:27:50,415
in case you
decide to fill it out.
622
00:27:50,570 --> 00:27:51,716
Thanks.
623
00:27:52,318 --> 00:27:54,112
I hope you take it.
624
00:27:54,274 --> 00:27:57,464
It's got a great vibe for a
nice couple like you two.
625
00:27:57,686 --> 00:27:58,833
[Mary laughs]
626
00:27:59,019 --> 00:28:01,413
- Thirteen different shades of red.
- What is wrong with you?
627
00:28:01,516 --> 00:28:03,231
- You make it too easy.
- By standing here?
628
00:28:03,389 --> 00:28:05,183
Relax, Snuffy.
What do you think?
629
00:28:05,345 --> 00:28:06,537
She used the word "vibe."
630
00:28:06,676 --> 00:28:08,153
- About the apartment?
- I don't know.
631
00:28:08,258 --> 00:28:09,972
Break it down.
List your concerns.
632
00:28:10,131 --> 00:28:12,276
- It's too big.
- It's not too big. Next.
633
00:28:12,462 --> 00:28:14,970
- I don't need two bathrooms.
- Yes, you do. Next.
634
00:28:15,167 --> 00:28:17,682
- I like being on the bottom floor.
- Top floor's quieter. Next.
635
00:28:17,789 --> 00:28:21,013
You know, I think this would be
easier if you listed your concerns first.
636
00:28:21,243 --> 00:28:22,390
Okay.
637
00:28:22,533 --> 00:28:24,203
- I don't have any. It's great.
- You do?
638
00:28:24,365 --> 00:28:28,112
Yeah, it's light and airy,
it's got good windows...
639
00:28:28,361 --> 00:28:30,869
but not too many so that the
sun bakes you in the afternoon.
640
00:28:31,066 --> 00:28:32,134
Thank you.
641
00:28:32,272 --> 00:28:33,989
Your close to work,
the price seems good...
642
00:28:34,145 --> 00:28:36,337
you're taking the spruce,
and it's a two-year lease.
643
00:28:36,517 --> 00:28:38,663
- I don't know.
- Luke, you need to do this.
644
00:28:38,848 --> 00:28:41,083
You and Jess will kill each
other in your place of yours.
645
00:28:41,179 --> 00:28:43,814
But who knows how
long he's gonna be here?
646
00:28:44,009 --> 00:28:46,473
- Why? Did something happen?
- No, but you never know.
647
00:28:46,673 --> 00:28:49,466
I think his mom sending
his stuff is a pretty good sign.
648
00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:51,860
Even if he does stay, it'll
only be for another year...
649
00:28:52,042 --> 00:28:55,584
and then he'll go off to college
or Attica, and it'll just be me again.
650
00:28:55,829 --> 00:28:58,781
I'll be stuck in a new apartment,
probably with neighbors I hate...
651
00:28:58,992 --> 00:29:02,341
who are constantly cooking
really strong-smelling food.
652
00:29:02,571 --> 00:29:03,569
Okay. Back up here.
653
00:29:03,695 --> 00:29:05,840
Yes, Jess may go off
somewhere someday...
654
00:29:06,026 --> 00:29:08,410
but that doesn't mean
you will be alone forever.
655
00:29:08,607 --> 00:29:11,718
- I am not getting a pet.
- I'm talking about a lady friend.
656
00:29:12,352 --> 00:29:14,258
- A red-hot mama.
- Okay.
657
00:29:14,433 --> 00:29:17,817
Big, pretty dish of loving with a
spoon made especially for you.
658
00:29:18,053 --> 00:29:20,086
Boy, do I not feel good now.
659
00:29:20,302 --> 00:29:23,572
Luke, Rachel's not the only
woman in the world for you.
660
00:29:23,797 --> 00:29:27,146
You'll meet someone someday,
probably at a Timberland store.
661
00:29:27,376 --> 00:29:29,760
You'll ask her out,
you'll pick her up...
662
00:29:29,957 --> 00:29:32,864
take her on a patented "Luke
Danes night of romance."
663
00:29:33,078 --> 00:29:34,761
Juice bar, followed
by the batting cages...
664
00:29:34,785 --> 00:29:36,851
and then you'll ask her
back to your apartment.
665
00:29:37,032 --> 00:29:38,668
Any amount of money
if you stop right now.
666
00:29:38,780 --> 00:29:43,241
You'll bring her back to your place,
lead her upstairs to the apartment door.
667
00:29:44,190 --> 00:29:46,574
You pause, gaze into her eyes.
668
00:29:47,312 --> 00:29:49,617
The stage is set.
Fate is waiting.
669
00:29:50,308 --> 00:29:54,532
You open the door, and she
sees your teeny, tiny apartment...
670
00:29:54,804 --> 00:29:58,028
one room and no closet space,
and Jess' feet sticking up in the air...
671
00:29:58,258 --> 00:30:00,563
- 'cause you never got rid of the body...
- Stop, please.
672
00:30:00,755 --> 00:30:03,264
And, to make matters
worse, she spots it...
673
00:30:03,793 --> 00:30:05,383
the single bed!
674
00:30:05,542 --> 00:30:06,724
What's wrong with a single bed?
675
00:30:06,748 --> 00:30:08,224
- You know what they say.
- No. What?
676
00:30:08,372 --> 00:30:10,245
Never, ever date a guy
who owns a single bed.
677
00:30:10,410 --> 00:30:12,010
- It means he's not open to commitment.
- What?
678
00:30:12,034 --> 00:30:14,497
It says, "There's no room in
this life for anybody but me."
679
00:30:14,697 --> 00:30:16,730
It says, "No room in this
bed for anyone but me."
680
00:30:16,903 --> 00:30:19,099
- That's not much better.
- This discussion is now over.
681
00:30:19,275 --> 00:30:22,148
Luke, as long as you're in that
apartment, you'll have a single bed.
682
00:30:22,356 --> 00:30:24,944
Don't you want the
possibility of more?
683
00:30:25,352 --> 00:30:28,576
Come on, Luke, it's time.
Make a move, take a shot.
684
00:30:28,807 --> 00:30:31,361
Entertain the possibility of
a non-Unabomber existence.
685
00:30:31,553 --> 00:30:33,063
What do you say?
686
00:30:33,717 --> 00:30:35,670
- You got a pen?
- Of course.
687
00:30:37,214 --> 00:30:39,882
- I'm not taking the spruce.
- Yes, you are.
688
00:30:52,571 --> 00:30:53,639
- Hey.
- Hey.
689
00:30:55,027 --> 00:30:57,934
- Did you get lost?
- No, I was looking at Rory's books.
690
00:30:58,481 --> 00:31:01,627
I wanted to see if she had
Franny and Zooey. She does.
691
00:31:01,852 --> 00:31:03,885
- Okay.
- I was gonna get it for her if she didn't.
692
00:31:04,058 --> 00:31:06,284
- That's very nice of you.
- Yeah.
693
00:31:08,927 --> 00:31:11,311
Okay. I should probably
get back to work.
694
00:31:11,507 --> 00:31:12,505
Mm-hmm.
695
00:31:18,999 --> 00:31:19,997
[Door closes]
696
00:31:28,697 --> 00:31:29,968
Luke! Good.
697
00:31:30,112 --> 00:31:32,178
I was on my way to
the diner to talk to you.
698
00:31:32,359 --> 00:31:33,636
Go on over. I'll meet you there.
699
00:31:33,774 --> 00:31:35,885
Stop it. This isn't
gonna make you mad.
700
00:31:36,063 --> 00:31:38,527
I just have a couple of
questions about your application.
701
00:31:38,727 --> 00:31:41,282
- I called your bank.
- What application?
702
00:31:41,473 --> 00:31:44,539
Your application for the apartment.
Now you have two accounts...
703
00:31:44,761 --> 00:31:47,951
- How did you get my application?
- Mary gave it to me, of course.
704
00:31:48,174 --> 00:31:49,571
I'm assuming one
of the accounts...
705
00:31:49,715 --> 00:31:51,667
Why would Mary give
you my application?
706
00:31:51,837 --> 00:31:52,915
Because I own the building.
707
00:31:53,003 --> 00:31:54,559
When did you buy
an apartment building?
708
00:31:54,667 --> 00:31:56,700
I bought this one
about two months ago.
709
00:31:56,873 --> 00:31:59,144
I look at a thousand
apartments, I choose yours. How?
710
00:31:59,537 --> 00:32:01,251
Count yourself lucky.
711
00:32:01,534 --> 00:32:04,441
With me as the owner, there
is a level of quality control...
712
00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:06,165
that is sorely
lacking in this town.
713
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,193
For example, at
all my properties...
714
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,391
we measure the grass before,
during, and after mowing...
715
00:32:11,606 --> 00:32:13,831
to attain a perfect
1 .5-inch height...
716
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:16,245
which is pleasing to the
eye and good for the grass.
717
00:32:16,433 --> 00:32:17,626
All of your properties?
718
00:32:17,766 --> 00:32:18,949
- Ten in all.
- Ten properties?
719
00:32:18,973 --> 00:32:20,483
What, are you
buying up the town?
720
00:32:20,637 --> 00:32:22,590
Not yet, but someday, who knows?
721
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,191
Why isn't anyone stopping you?
722
00:32:24,342 --> 00:32:26,170
Because, my friend,
people are lazy...
723
00:32:26,339 --> 00:32:29,325
they don't want to think about
the proper fabric for an awning...
724
00:32:29,544 --> 00:32:31,451
or the correct historical
color for a building.
725
00:32:31,625 --> 00:32:34,532
They just slap any old thing up
on a wall and sleep like babies.
726
00:32:34,746 --> 00:32:37,619
But soon, hopefully, the city
council will put an end to that.
727
00:32:37,827 --> 00:32:40,335
You can't tell people what
color to paint their buildings.
728
00:32:40,532 --> 00:32:41,565
Someone has to.
729
00:32:41,696 --> 00:32:43,692
No, they don't. We don't
live in a fascist country.
730
00:32:43,820 --> 00:32:46,567
This isn't about the
fascists, who, by the way...
731
00:32:46,774 --> 00:32:49,204
had their faults, but
their parks were spotless.
732
00:32:49,396 --> 00:32:51,224
I have to get out of here.
733
00:32:51,394 --> 00:32:52,586
Wait a minute.
734
00:32:54,225 --> 00:32:56,177
Luke, hold it! I still
need to talk to you.
735
00:32:56,347 --> 00:32:58,423
Just tear up the application,
Taylor. I'm not moving.
736
00:32:58,511 --> 00:33:00,861
- What? Why?
- 'Cause I'm a 2-inch-grass kind of guy.
737
00:33:01,050 --> 00:33:03,638
That's too bad. I need to talk
to you about something else.
738
00:33:03,838 --> 00:33:05,146
- What?
- I'm thinking of purchasing...
739
00:33:05,170 --> 00:33:06,607
the flower shop
next to the diner...
740
00:33:06,668 --> 00:33:09,256
but we need to talk
about that sign of yours.
741
00:33:09,457 --> 00:33:10,728
What about my sign?
742
00:33:10,872 --> 00:33:13,937
You have a diner, but you never took
down the "Williams Hardware" sign.
743
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,352
That was my father's sign.
744
00:33:15,492 --> 00:33:17,717
I understand that you have
a sentimental attachment...
745
00:33:17,906 --> 00:33:19,654
to the sign, but it
confuses the tourists.
746
00:33:19,820 --> 00:33:20,966
Back off the sign, Taylor.
747
00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:24,891
If I buy the building next to that sign, I
run the risk of people being so busy...
748
00:33:25,147 --> 00:33:27,816
trying to figure out if you
sell hammers or burgers...
749
00:33:28,019 --> 00:33:31,085
that they never notice the nice
collectible-plate store next door.
750
00:33:31,307 --> 00:33:34,214
- Collectible plates?
- Isn't that a great idea?
751
00:33:34,428 --> 00:33:37,574
Elvis, The Beatles, Mary
Poppins. All the greats!
752
00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:40,945
You can hang them on the wall, or
buy a little stand and set them up...
753
00:33:41,171 --> 00:33:44,997
You need to get away from me now. At
least a good arm-swinging length away.
754
00:33:45,249 --> 00:33:47,077
It's people like you
who keep this town...
755
00:33:47,247 --> 00:33:49,597
from becoming one of
the great towns in America!
756
00:33:49,786 --> 00:33:50,853
Arm-swinging length!
757
00:33:50,993 --> 00:33:54,025
I wouldn't have approved
your application anyway.
758
00:34:07,349 --> 00:34:09,256
- You look good.
- I'm fine.
759
00:34:10,013 --> 00:34:11,081
Talk.
760
00:34:12,219 --> 00:34:14,047
- I lost my bracelet.
- Uh-huh.
761
00:34:14,466 --> 00:34:16,691
- Dean gave it to me.
- How thoughtful.
762
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,514
I've been all over
town looking for it.
763
00:34:18,670 --> 00:34:20,702
I've been to Lane's,
I've been to Luke's...
764
00:34:20,875 --> 00:34:23,305
I've been to the bus stop,
I've been to Miss Patty's...
765
00:34:23,497 --> 00:34:25,689
and I've circled Stars
Hollow twice, and nothing.
766
00:34:25,870 --> 00:34:28,016
I have no idea
what I'm going to do.
767
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,267
- It's really that big a deal?
- What do you mean?
768
00:34:30,448 --> 00:34:33,036
I know it's got an "I've been
pinned, Bye Bye Birdie"...
769
00:34:33,237 --> 00:34:35,825
kind of implication to it,
but it was just a bracelet.
770
00:34:36,025 --> 00:34:37,739
I don't think Dean
will see it that way.
771
00:34:37,898 --> 00:34:39,567
You didn't lose it on purpose.
772
00:34:39,729 --> 00:34:42,840
I know, but things have been
a little weird between us lately...
773
00:34:43,059 --> 00:34:44,376
and you couldn't care less.
774
00:34:44,515 --> 00:34:45,946
Yes, I could.
775
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,712
I just think Dean will
read something into this.
776
00:34:48,885 --> 00:34:50,554
- Should he?
- No.
777
00:34:52,257 --> 00:34:53,813
I think you should keep looking.
778
00:34:53,963 --> 00:34:55,757
- Where?
- Anywhere.
779
00:34:56,002 --> 00:34:58,197
Things you lose are usually
right in front of your face.
780
00:34:58,375 --> 00:35:00,407
- Check the house again.
- I've checked the house.
781
00:35:00,580 --> 00:35:02,296
It's probably laying in
your room somewhere.
782
00:35:02,370 --> 00:35:04,198
I tore that room
apart. It's not there.
783
00:35:04,368 --> 00:35:08,115
Fine. Give up. No biggie.
Dean will just have to get over it.
784
00:35:09,487 --> 00:35:11,121
I'll go look again.
785
00:35:14,606 --> 00:35:15,957
You do that.
786
00:35:19,309 --> 00:35:20,978
Where have you been?
787
00:35:21,515 --> 00:35:23,105
Scouring the town.
788
00:35:23,387 --> 00:35:25,135
- Nothing, huh?
- Not yet.
789
00:35:25,302 --> 00:35:26,812
I'm gonna check my room again.
790
00:35:26,967 --> 00:35:29,350
Haven't you already
looked in there 1,000 times?
791
00:35:29,547 --> 00:35:31,182
RORY: A thousand and one.
792
00:35:32,627 --> 00:35:33,854
Mom, come here, hurry.
793
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,829
Rory? Are you okay?
794
00:35:37,829 --> 00:35:39,339
- I found it!
- What?
795
00:35:39,495 --> 00:35:41,131
I looked under the
bed, and there it was.
796
00:35:41,284 --> 00:35:42,918
I thought I had
looked under the bed...
797
00:35:43,074 --> 00:35:45,027
but I don't know, maybe
I was too panicked.
798
00:35:45,197 --> 00:35:46,546
I don't know.
Who cares? I got it.
799
00:35:46,570 --> 00:35:49,874
- That is amazing!
- Put it on. Make it tight.
800
00:35:50,107 --> 00:35:51,697
I'm cutting off
circulation here, baby.
801
00:35:51,855 --> 00:35:54,410
Look at it. It looks even
better than before, doesn't it.
802
00:35:54,602 --> 00:35:56,397
I think the time away
from home did it good.
803
00:35:56,558 --> 00:35:58,474
- When I return, we celebrate.
- Where you going?
804
00:35:58,556 --> 00:35:59,987
To tell Lane she
can stop praying.
805
00:36:20,614 --> 00:36:22,521
- Leaving?
- Yeah, all done.
806
00:36:22,820 --> 00:36:24,614
You weren't gonna
come get your money?
807
00:36:24,776 --> 00:36:26,093
I figured I'd get it eventually.
808
00:36:26,233 --> 00:36:28,069
It's not like I don't know
where you guys live.
809
00:36:28,148 --> 00:36:30,577
That's true. You certainly
do know where we live.
810
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,628
Here.
811
00:36:35,140 --> 00:36:37,047
After all, you earned it.
812
00:36:38,136 --> 00:36:39,169
Thanks.
813
00:36:39,302 --> 00:36:41,175
You took it, didn't you?
814
00:36:41,340 --> 00:36:42,338
Excuse me?
815
00:36:42,464 --> 00:36:44,497
Rory's bracelet. You
had it the whole time.
816
00:36:44,670 --> 00:36:46,146
No idea what
you're talking about.
817
00:36:46,294 --> 00:36:48,439
- How'd you get it?
- I didn't get anything.
818
00:36:48,624 --> 00:36:50,179
Did you break into our house?
819
00:36:50,330 --> 00:36:52,714
You dressed in black, and
pulled a Mission: Impossible?
820
00:36:52,911 --> 00:36:54,943
I came down the chimney
and pulled a Santa Claus.
821
00:36:55,117 --> 00:36:56,150
Very funny.
822
00:36:56,282 --> 00:36:58,394
A ridiculous accusation
deserved such a response.
823
00:36:58,571 --> 00:37:01,637
It's just a coincidence I catch
you coming out of Rory's room...
824
00:37:01,858 --> 00:37:05,082
a half an hour before she mysteriously
finds the bracelet under her bed?
825
00:37:05,313 --> 00:37:06,903
- Guess so.
- Why would you do this?
826
00:37:07,061 --> 00:37:08,094
I gotta go.
827
00:37:08,227 --> 00:37:10,577
I know you hate the world,
but I thought you liked Rory.
828
00:37:10,765 --> 00:37:12,083
- I didn't do anything.
- Bull.
829
00:37:12,222 --> 00:37:13,255
Whatever.
830
00:37:13,388 --> 00:37:14,695
Don't "whatever"
me, you little jerk.
831
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,626
You let Rory run around
completely panicked...
832
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,435
thinking she lost the bracelet.
She was miserable. Understand?
833
00:37:19,630 --> 00:37:20,663
I didn't take it.
834
00:37:20,796 --> 00:37:22,987
I'm sure you're jealous of
Dean because he's great...
835
00:37:23,168 --> 00:37:24,962
and Rory's madly
in love with him.
836
00:37:25,124 --> 00:37:27,792
But you taking the bracelet
didn't hurt Dean, it hurt Rory.
837
00:37:27,995 --> 00:37:30,107
That bracelet is the most
precious thing she owns.
838
00:37:30,285 --> 00:37:32,556
She never takes it off. It
means everything to her.
839
00:37:32,740 --> 00:37:34,807
And you stealing it
was unbelievably cruel.
840
00:37:34,987 --> 00:37:36,702
- The most precious thing she owns?
- Yes!
841
00:37:36,860 --> 00:37:38,972
If it's the most precious
thing she owns...
842
00:37:39,150 --> 00:37:42,261
why did it take her two weeks
to figure out it was gone, huh?
843
00:37:42,479 --> 00:37:45,148
You might want to reevaluate
how madly in love she is.
844
00:37:45,351 --> 00:37:46,702
I wouldn't call him "son" yet.
845
00:37:46,849 --> 00:37:48,722
- Get out of here.
- You read my mind.
846
00:38:05,162 --> 00:38:06,638
[Knocking at the door]
847
00:38:16,149 --> 00:38:19,295
I just spent $100,000,
and it's all your fault!
848
00:38:20,977 --> 00:38:22,010
Good.
849
00:38:22,850 --> 00:38:24,519
I ran into Taylor at the market.
850
00:38:24,681 --> 00:38:27,474
I found out he owns the
building that apartment was in.
851
00:38:27,678 --> 00:38:28,710
No way.
852
00:38:28,843 --> 00:38:30,910
- That and several others in town.
- So weird.
853
00:38:31,090 --> 00:38:32,760
He's systematically
buying up the town.
854
00:38:32,921 --> 00:38:35,828
He'll turn it into Taylorville,
where everyone wears cardigans...
855
00:38:36,044 --> 00:38:38,315
- and have the same grass height.
- Do you want to sit?
856
00:38:38,499 --> 00:38:40,928
Then he said he'll buy the
building next to the diner...
857
00:38:41,121 --> 00:38:42,238
turn it into a plate shop...
858
00:38:42,369 --> 00:38:44,719
for freaks who don't have the
brainpower to collect stamps!
859
00:38:44,908 --> 00:38:46,225
- I lost it!
- I can't picture it.
860
00:38:46,365 --> 00:38:49,112
I walked around in a
blind rage. I was crazy.
861
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,466
I bought a Belgian waffle with
ice cream dipped in chocolate.
862
00:38:52,691 --> 00:38:54,519
- You ate that?
- No, I didn't eat it.
863
00:38:54,689 --> 00:38:56,120
- I'm upset, not suicidal.
- Right.
864
00:38:56,270 --> 00:38:59,222
I had to do something. I had
your voice going round in my head.
865
00:38:59,434 --> 00:39:01,023
It's like the Small World song.
866
00:39:01,181 --> 00:39:04,133
"Take a chance, Luke. Make a
move. Can't have a single bed."
867
00:39:04,344 --> 00:39:05,979
So I bought the building!
868
00:39:06,134 --> 00:39:07,361
You what?
869
00:39:07,507 --> 00:39:09,184
Went to the bank,
got a cashier's check...
870
00:39:09,256 --> 00:39:11,288
signed the papers, and
I bought the building.
871
00:39:11,461 --> 00:39:12,811
- Wow.
- I am the building's owner.
872
00:39:12,835 --> 00:39:14,266
- I heard.
- I own the building.
873
00:39:14,417 --> 00:39:16,801
Okay, don't worry,
you can still get out of it.
874
00:39:16,997 --> 00:39:18,667
You can tell them
you lost your mind.
875
00:39:18,828 --> 00:39:21,655
- Or I bet you could sell it to Taylor.
- Yeah.
876
00:39:21,866 --> 00:39:23,694
Relax. You can
still get out of this...
877
00:39:23,863 --> 00:39:25,796
- Okay.
- Unless you don't want to get out of this.
878
00:39:25,820 --> 00:39:29,521
No, I want to get out of this. Why
would I not want to get out of this?
879
00:39:29,774 --> 00:39:32,725
Owning that building
gives you some options.
880
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:34,587
Like?
881
00:39:34,726 --> 00:39:36,361
Like you could expand Luke's...
882
00:39:36,516 --> 00:39:38,389
- if you wanted to.
- Yeah.
883
00:39:38,763 --> 00:39:41,749
- Or you could rent it to someone else.
- Yeah.
884
00:39:42,010 --> 00:39:44,473
Someone else who
might drive Taylor crazy.
885
00:39:44,674 --> 00:39:45,866
I should think about this.
886
00:39:46,005 --> 00:39:48,435
- Sure, sleep on it.
- Sleep on it. Right, right.
887
00:39:48,627 --> 00:39:51,534
- Do you want some tea?
- Tea's good. Sure. Yeah.
888
00:39:56,369 --> 00:39:57,720
Hey, Luke...
889
00:39:59,282 --> 00:40:01,665
does Jess ever talk
to you about Rory?
890
00:40:01,862 --> 00:40:03,133
What do you mean?
891
00:40:03,277 --> 00:40:06,864
They seem to be thrown
together quite a lot lately.
892
00:40:07,106 --> 00:40:09,536
I was just trying to figure
out if that's a coincidence...
893
00:40:09,728 --> 00:40:11,036
Or if there's
something going on?
894
00:40:11,060 --> 00:40:12,207
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
895
00:40:12,351 --> 00:40:14,985
- Jess doesn't exactly confide in me.
- Right.
896
00:40:15,181 --> 00:40:17,535
Of course, if there was
something on, I think it'd be great.
897
00:40:17,636 --> 00:40:18,704
You do?
898
00:40:18,843 --> 00:40:22,385
Yeah! Rory's a great kid.
She'd be really good for Jess.
899
00:40:22,922 --> 00:40:24,432
Yeah, she would.
900
00:40:24,586 --> 00:40:26,186
You think there may
be something going on?
901
00:40:26,210 --> 00:40:27,641
I don't know.
902
00:40:28,041 --> 00:40:29,710
Boy, that would be great.
903
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,873
Yeah. Great.
904
00:40:36,490 --> 00:40:37,807
[Blaring rock music]
905
00:41:03,958 --> 00:41:06,751
That's your room. Finish up.
906
00:41:06,955 --> 00:41:09,066
We'll hold hands
and skip afterwards.
