1
00:00:02,272 --> 00:00:03,305
Yes?
2
00:00:03,438 --> 00:00:04,869
- Hey.
- Hello.
3
00:00:05,020 --> 00:00:07,575
- You're new.
- I started yesterday.
4
00:00:07,766 --> 00:00:09,118
- What's your name?
- Leisal.
5
00:00:09,266 --> 00:00:12,252
Okay. I'm Brigitte.
This is Gretel.
6
00:00:13,262 --> 00:00:16,487
- Emily and Richard are expecting us.
- I'm sorry.
7
00:00:16,758 --> 00:00:17,985
Please come in.
8
00:00:18,424 --> 00:00:21,377
[Emily and Richard arguing]
9
00:00:22,337 --> 00:00:25,210
Can I get you a drink?
10
00:00:26,333 --> 00:00:29,047
I can get it. Why don't
you go hide in the kitchen?
11
00:00:29,248 --> 00:00:30,997
Really? Thank you.
12
00:00:31,912 --> 00:00:33,740
- What is going on?
- I don't know.
13
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:36,295
I think George and Martha
are joining us for dinner.
14
00:00:36,491 --> 00:00:40,079
I didn't know my every conversation
had to be reported. I stand corrected.
15
00:00:40,321 --> 00:00:42,671
I have been the co-chair
of the Starlight Foundation...
16
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:44,734
- for the last eight years.
- I know this.
17
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:47,966
The Black and White Ball is the
main fundraising event of the season.
18
00:00:48,189 --> 00:00:50,573
- It's one year.
- The co-chair cannot miss...
19
00:00:50,770 --> 00:00:52,678
- the main fundraising event.
- Why?
20
00:00:52,851 --> 00:00:55,123
- Won't the chair be there?
- Is this a joke to you?
21
00:00:55,308 --> 00:00:57,738
I have too many things
to take care of at work.
22
00:00:57,931 --> 00:01:00,520
I don't have time
for frivolous parties.
23
00:01:00,761 --> 00:01:02,351
Frivolous parties?
24
00:01:04,341 --> 00:01:06,806
Where are you going?
Come back here.
25
00:01:07,005 --> 00:01:09,356
- This is bad.
- I know. I wish we had popcorn.
26
00:01:09,545 --> 00:01:10,613
- Mom.
- Incoming.
27
00:01:10,752 --> 00:01:12,944
"The Hartford Zoological
silent auction..."
28
00:01:13,125 --> 00:01:15,555
"The Mark Twain House
Restoration Fund luncheon..."
29
00:01:15,748 --> 00:01:17,815
"The Harriet Beecher
Stowe Literacy Auction."
30
00:01:17,996 --> 00:01:19,631
I can read those myself.
31
00:01:19,786 --> 00:01:23,091
This is the fourth event you
have turned down on our behalf.
32
00:01:23,325 --> 00:01:25,596
I am on the board of
all of those foundations.
33
00:01:25,781 --> 00:01:28,529
- How does that make me look?
- Like your husband is busy...
34
00:01:28,736 --> 00:01:32,086
- and has a great deal of responsibility.
- I have responsibilities, too.
35
00:01:32,317 --> 00:01:35,463
I understand that your social
engagements are important.
36
00:01:35,688 --> 00:01:37,483
They're not just
social engagements.
37
00:01:37,645 --> 00:01:40,553
Anything at which you serve
tea is a social engagement.
38
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:43,403
I am getting a tape recorder
so you can hear how pompous...
39
00:01:43,598 --> 00:01:45,268
and condescending you sound.
40
00:01:45,430 --> 00:01:48,257
I don't want you to take my
word for it. I might be delirious...
41
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:50,615
- from all that tea I've been drinking.
- Stop.
42
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,151
Maybe we should leave.
43
00:01:52,299 --> 00:01:54,206
Are you kidding? We
have dinner theater here.
44
00:01:54,380 --> 00:01:56,287
But Grandma and
Grandpa are in a fight.
45
00:01:56,462 --> 00:01:58,495
- Yeah.
- They wouldn't want us to see it.
46
00:01:58,668 --> 00:02:00,701
We stumbled in here
completely innocently.
47
00:02:00,875 --> 00:02:03,100
We came for dinner, as
usual, per their request.
48
00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:06,083
We didn't know we'd see The
Lion King without the puppet heads.
49
00:02:06,286 --> 00:02:07,843
RICHARD: Get that
thing out of my face.
50
00:02:07,993 --> 00:02:10,344
- Say the tea thing again.
- You're acting like a child.
51
00:02:10,532 --> 00:02:13,598
Turn around when you talk. I'm
not sure this microphone is good.
52
00:02:13,821 --> 00:02:14,854
What?
53
00:02:16,611 --> 00:02:18,281
Brava! Encore!
54
00:02:18,442 --> 00:02:21,633
Does Terrence McNally know
about you two? Get me the phone!
55
00:03:19,679 --> 00:03:22,746
It sucks. I know it sucks.
Just tell me it sucks.
56
00:03:25,133 --> 00:03:26,326
It's great.
57
00:03:26,465 --> 00:03:28,100
- No, it's not.
- It's an "A."
58
00:03:28,255 --> 00:03:29,323
- Don't lie.
- A-plus.
59
00:03:29,462 --> 00:03:31,449
- You're my mom.
- Is anything higher than A-plus?
60
00:03:31,627 --> 00:03:34,091
- You have to say that.
- An A-plus with a crown and a wand.
61
00:03:34,292 --> 00:03:35,882
This is not how
you raise a child.
62
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,265
You don't send them out
with a false sense of pride.
63
00:03:38,454 --> 00:03:41,282
Because in the real world,
no one will coddle you.
64
00:03:41,493 --> 00:03:43,719
I'd rather know now if
I'll be working at CNN...
65
00:03:43,908 --> 00:03:46,781
or carrying a basket around
its offices with sandwiches.
66
00:03:46,989 --> 00:03:48,499
- Rory.
- Yeah?
67
00:03:48,654 --> 00:03:49,925
It's great.
68
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,234
- Really?
- Really, really.
69
00:03:52,692 --> 00:03:54,918
- Thank you.
- Coffee.
70
00:03:55,106 --> 00:03:56,105
Coffee.
71
00:03:56,605 --> 00:03:59,432
- What do you want? Eggs, toast, combo?
- What's the rush?
72
00:03:59,644 --> 00:04:03,028
I'm swamped this morning. I was
supposed to have help, but I don't.
73
00:04:03,266 --> 00:04:05,299
So order now, or I'm
bringing you both...
74
00:04:05,472 --> 00:04:07,379
an egg-white omelet
with steamed spinach.
75
00:04:07,554 --> 00:04:08,701
- Pancakes.
- French toast.
76
00:04:08,843 --> 00:04:10,070
Thank you.
77
00:04:10,218 --> 00:04:12,012
You were supposed
to be down here...
78
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:14,850
- What the hell is that?
- What?
79
00:04:15,005 --> 00:04:17,277
- That.
- That is a shirt.
80
00:04:17,461 --> 00:04:18,688
- Change.
- What?
81
00:04:18,835 --> 00:04:21,504
- Go upstairs and change your shirt.
- I like this shirt.
82
00:04:21,707 --> 00:04:23,899
- How can you like it?
- It brings out my eyes.
83
00:04:24,081 --> 00:04:26,636
Part of the deal of you staying
here is that you work here.
84
00:04:26,827 --> 00:04:29,099
When you work here, you
will wear proper work attire.
85
00:04:29,284 --> 00:04:30,874
That is not proper work attire.
86
00:04:31,033 --> 00:04:34,019
Go upstairs and change into
something that won't scare my customers.
87
00:04:34,238 --> 00:04:36,350
Whatever you say, Uncle Luke.
88
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:38,417
- Gross T-shirt.
- Yeah.
89
00:04:38,567 --> 00:04:40,123
- Good band.
- Yeah.
90
00:04:40,441 --> 00:04:41,712
Thank you.
91
00:04:43,729 --> 00:04:45,875
- Another new one, Emily?
- Yes.
92
00:04:46,061 --> 00:04:48,048
The last one only made
it through one evening.
93
00:04:48,226 --> 00:04:50,577
- Thoroughly nervous creature.
- What do you do to them?
94
00:04:50,765 --> 00:04:53,071
The usual. "Clean
this, cook that..."
95
00:04:53,262 --> 00:04:57,010
- "Sacrifice a virgin on your way out."
- The things you say.
96
00:04:57,259 --> 00:04:59,973
We could have done with some
of that at the ball the other night.
97
00:05:00,173 --> 00:05:01,241
Was it dull?
98
00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:04,208
I felt like my shoes were
going out of style as I sat there.
99
00:05:04,419 --> 00:05:06,611
- What a shame.
- It wasn't all dull.
100
00:05:06,793 --> 00:05:09,065
- Are we forgetting Truly Bishop?
- That's right.
101
00:05:09,248 --> 00:05:10,758
What about Truly Bishop?
102
00:05:10,914 --> 00:05:13,742
- She and Eugene split up last month.
- What?
103
00:05:15,118 --> 00:05:18,026
You knew about that. They
had this huge fight at the...
104
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,068
That's right. You missed
the Schaffers' cocktail party.
105
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,267
They broke up at the
Schaffers' cocktail party?
106
00:05:23,444 --> 00:05:25,239
He has another
family in Salisbury.
107
00:05:25,401 --> 00:05:28,308
- No.
- She's 26, with a 2-year-old.
108
00:05:28,523 --> 00:05:31,350
- How did Truly find out?
- The little tart sent her a letter.
109
00:05:31,562 --> 00:05:33,992
- Oh, my God.
- So Truly confronted Eugene...
110
00:05:34,185 --> 00:05:36,457
after consuming a bottle
and a half of Cristal...
111
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,070
and he said he was going to leave
her and marry the Salisbury concubine.
112
00:05:40,304 --> 00:05:42,610
- What did she do?
- Threw an ice sculpture at his head.
113
00:05:42,802 --> 00:05:44,028
I can't believe I missed that.
114
00:05:44,176 --> 00:05:46,845
- You've missed everything lately.
- Where have you been?
115
00:05:47,049 --> 00:05:49,922
- Is everything all right?
- Yes, it's just Richard.
116
00:05:50,129 --> 00:05:52,082
He hasn't been
hanging out in Salisbury?
117
00:05:52,252 --> 00:05:55,238
No. He's been swamped at
work, night and day, weekends.
118
00:05:55,458 --> 00:05:57,967
Like he was the only person
who worked at that company.
119
00:05:58,164 --> 00:05:59,834
Plus, he hasn't been
feeling very well.
120
00:05:59,995 --> 00:06:02,630
His back and knees,
very bad knees.
121
00:06:04,699 --> 00:06:06,732
Rory, what a nice surprise.
122
00:06:06,905 --> 00:06:09,256
- Sorry to butt in like this.
- Nonsense.
123
00:06:09,445 --> 00:06:13,272
Come and meet my friends. I'd like
you to meet my granddaughter Rory.
124
00:06:13,525 --> 00:06:15,353
- Hello, Rory.
- Nice to meet you.
125
00:06:15,523 --> 00:06:17,873
My goodness, what
a pretty girl you are.
126
00:06:18,062 --> 00:06:20,651
- She looks just like Lorelai, doesn't she?
- The eyes.
127
00:06:20,852 --> 00:06:22,725
- The nose.
- Walk around, sweetie.
128
00:06:22,891 --> 00:06:24,924
- Leave the girl alone.
- I want to see the walk.
129
00:06:25,098 --> 00:06:27,653
- Lorelai had such a specific walk.
- Fast.
130
00:06:27,846 --> 00:06:30,401
- That was it.
- Sit. Would you like some tea?
131
00:06:30,592 --> 00:06:33,466
No, I came to pick up a book that
Grandpa was supposed to leave.
132
00:06:33,674 --> 00:06:36,467
- Check his study, it might be on his desk.
- Thanks.
133
00:06:36,671 --> 00:06:39,703
Your granddaughter is
just lovely. How old is she?
134
00:06:39,918 --> 00:06:42,427
- Sixteen.
- That's a nice age.
135
00:06:42,624 --> 00:06:46,212
- Have you thought about her debut?
- No, not yet.
136
00:06:46,453 --> 00:06:49,917
The Daughters of the Daughters of the
American Revolution Debutante Ball...
137
00:06:50,158 --> 00:06:52,714
- is next week.
- It is? I hadn't realized.
138
00:06:52,906 --> 00:06:55,098
Why don't you
present Rory there?
139
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:57,472
I don't know.
Isn't it a little late?
140
00:06:57,652 --> 00:07:00,526
Please. For Emily Gilmore
I'm sure they'll bend the rules.
141
00:07:00,732 --> 00:07:01,765
You have to.
142
00:07:01,898 --> 00:07:04,362
With a girl like that,
you'll be the hit of the ball.
143
00:07:04,563 --> 00:07:06,392
She'd definitely
be the prettiest one.
144
00:07:06,561 --> 00:07:09,548
- Except for Katie Hethington.
- No. Didn't you hear?
145
00:07:09,766 --> 00:07:12,321
Katie fell off her horse.
There's a scab on her face.
146
00:07:12,514 --> 00:07:16,182
Well, then, if Katie Hethington
has a scab on her face...
147
00:07:16,427 --> 00:07:18,698
Rory will definitely be
the prettiest one there.
148
00:07:18,883 --> 00:07:21,029
It'll be your crowning moment.
149
00:07:21,339 --> 00:07:22,657
I found it.
150
00:07:25,669 --> 00:07:26,816
[Sarcastically] Yay.
151
00:07:30,665 --> 00:07:32,538
- I'm coming out.
- Out of what?
152
00:07:32,704 --> 00:07:34,737
- Out into society.
- What are you talking about?
153
00:07:34,911 --> 00:07:37,863
- I went to Grandma's house after school.
- Right away, bad.
154
00:07:38,075 --> 00:07:40,902
Her DAR friends are all
there, they're talking about...
155
00:07:41,113 --> 00:07:43,464
- this Debutante Ball that's being thrown.
- Oh, no.
156
00:07:43,653 --> 00:07:47,163
When I got back from Grandpa's
office, they invited me onto the patio.
157
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:50,704
- Tell me you did not go onto the patio.
- I went onto the patio.
158
00:07:50,938 --> 00:07:53,891
That's like accepting the position
as the drummer in Spinal Tap.
159
00:07:54,101 --> 00:07:56,135
Grandma told me
how important it is...
160
00:07:56,308 --> 00:07:58,739
for a person to be properly
presented to society.
161
00:07:58,931 --> 00:08:01,237
And how every young
girl dreams of this day.
162
00:08:01,429 --> 00:08:02,826
- And how there are flowers.
- Lord.
163
00:08:02,928 --> 00:08:04,041
- And music.
- Please.
164
00:08:04,176 --> 00:08:06,005
- And cake.
- The cake's actually good.
165
00:08:06,175 --> 00:08:09,638
Before I knew it, Grandma brought
out your old dress, I tried it on...
166
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,105
- What are you doing?
- Getting you out of this.
167
00:08:12,294 --> 00:08:15,360
My mother is great at
getting someone to agree...
168
00:08:15,583 --> 00:08:18,569
to something that in another
universe they would never consider.
169
00:08:18,789 --> 00:08:21,298
I am convinced she had
something to do with Lily Tomlin...
170
00:08:21,495 --> 00:08:24,447
- doing that movie with John Travolta.
- I'm doing this.
171
00:08:24,658 --> 00:08:25,656
Why?
172
00:08:25,782 --> 00:08:28,576
You should've seen Grandma's
face when she asked me.
173
00:08:28,780 --> 00:08:30,495
- It's really important to her.
- But...
174
00:08:30,652 --> 00:08:34,559
If it's important to her and not important
to me, then why shouldn't I do it?
175
00:08:34,815 --> 00:08:37,450
Do you know what a
coming-out party says?
176
00:08:37,646 --> 00:08:39,633
- It's says, "I'm a woman now."
- No, it says:
177
00:08:39,811 --> 00:08:43,240
"Hi, I'm Rory. I'm of good
breeding and marriageable age.
178
00:08:43,475 --> 00:08:45,701
"I will now parade
around in front of...
179
00:08:45,889 --> 00:08:48,603
"young men of similarly good
breeding and marriageable age...
180
00:08:48,803 --> 00:08:51,392
- "so they can take a good look at me."
- You're exaggerating.
181
00:08:51,593 --> 00:08:54,182
It's like animals being up
for bid at the county fair...
182
00:08:54,381 --> 00:08:57,129
- except sheep don't wear hoop skirts.
- I promised.
183
00:08:57,338 --> 00:09:01,563
- But you don't have to be a part of it.
- If you want to do it, I'll help.
184
00:09:02,167 --> 00:09:03,518
It's just weird.
185
00:09:03,665 --> 00:09:08,049
This is all the stuff I ran away from. I
just assumed you'd be running with me.
186
00:09:08,328 --> 00:09:12,110
I would, but I heard debutantes
don't run, something about the heels.
187
00:09:12,365 --> 00:09:15,477
All right, then. If you're
sure, where do we start?
188
00:09:15,696 --> 00:09:16,968
[Lorelai sighing]
189
00:09:17,111 --> 00:09:20,859
Let's see, you have a dress.
You need a dowry, I guess.
190
00:09:21,108 --> 00:09:23,935
There you go. And
you'll need shoes...
191
00:09:24,147 --> 00:09:27,815
hose, gloves, some
mice, a dog, a pumpkin.
192
00:09:30,017 --> 00:09:31,890
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
193
00:09:32,723 --> 00:09:36,471
It says your father is supposed
to present you at the ceremony.
194
00:09:37,968 --> 00:09:40,160
Whatever. I can get
someone else to do it.
195
00:09:40,340 --> 00:09:42,725
- Grandpa, probably. Or Taylor.
- Okay.
196
00:09:42,922 --> 00:09:45,908
Or the cable guy, he looked
friendly last week. He may have a tux.
197
00:09:46,128 --> 00:09:49,001
- Hand me the phone.
- I was kidding about the cable guy.
198
00:09:49,208 --> 00:09:51,161
- What are you doing?
- There are many things...
199
00:09:51,331 --> 00:09:53,398
that should weird you
out about coming out...
200
00:09:53,579 --> 00:09:56,566
but inviting your father
shouldn't be one of them.
201
00:09:56,784 --> 00:09:58,738
OPERATOR: The number
you have dialed has changed.
202
00:09:58,907 --> 00:09:59,940
Gum wrapper.
203
00:10:00,073 --> 00:10:03,059
- He's not going to come.
- You don't know until you ask.
204
00:10:05,277 --> 00:10:07,469
- Mom.
- Look, we call, we ask.
205
00:10:07,650 --> 00:10:11,318
There's no harm. Trust me, the
cable guy's not going anywhere.
206
00:10:12,937 --> 00:10:14,652
CHRISTOPHER: Hello? LORELAI: Hi!
207
00:10:15,351 --> 00:10:17,021
- Where the hell are you?
- Boston.
208
00:10:17,183 --> 00:10:18,579
- Boston?
- Yeah.
209
00:10:18,723 --> 00:10:21,187
Baked beans, cream
pie, tea party, strangler.
210
00:10:21,388 --> 00:10:22,819
- That Boston.
- And you?
211
00:10:22,970 --> 00:10:24,083
- Me?
- Where are you?
212
00:10:24,218 --> 00:10:25,490
- Helsinki.
- Really?
213
00:10:25,634 --> 00:10:28,189
I got the girl band together.
After opening stateside...
214
00:10:28,382 --> 00:10:31,494
we headed across the Atlantic,
now we're huge with the Nordic set.
215
00:10:31,711 --> 00:10:33,665
Good to hear you. We
haven't talked in a while.
216
00:10:33,835 --> 00:10:35,153
You could have called, too.
217
00:10:35,292 --> 00:10:37,517
Or does your phone
only receive calls?
218
00:10:37,706 --> 00:10:39,296
I figured you had
a lot going on...
219
00:10:39,455 --> 00:10:42,521
what with the engagement and
the canceling of the engagement.
220
00:10:42,743 --> 00:10:44,889
- How's that going?
- Still canceled.
221
00:10:45,075 --> 00:10:46,108
- You okay?
- Good.
222
00:10:46,241 --> 00:10:48,274
I'm even better when
I'm not talking about it.
223
00:10:48,447 --> 00:10:51,240
- Moving on, then.
- I have some shocking news.
224
00:10:51,611 --> 00:10:53,723
- Rory's coming out.
- Out of what?
225
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:56,694
Coming out: white
dresses, gloves, curtsies.
226
00:10:56,898 --> 00:10:58,329
- Stop it.
- I swear to God.
227
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,751
You're letting her do it?
228
00:10:59,895 --> 00:11:03,200
I wasn't about to let her use
my method of getting out of it.
229
00:11:03,433 --> 00:11:04,546
This is crazy.
230
00:11:04,682 --> 00:11:07,396
She's doing it as a favor to
my mom. Can't talk her out of it.
231
00:11:07,596 --> 00:11:09,981
Did you tell her about
Barbara Hutton, Doris Duke?
232
00:11:10,178 --> 00:11:12,733
Yes, and she's perfectly
willing to marry Cary Grant...
233
00:11:12,925 --> 00:11:15,719
get offed by her crazy butler,
and start designing blue jeans...
234
00:11:15,923 --> 00:11:17,319
as soon as the ball ends.
235
00:11:17,463 --> 00:11:19,053
If that's what she wants.
236
00:11:19,211 --> 00:11:21,437
Now comes the reason
for my phone call.
237
00:11:21,626 --> 00:11:23,454
All your regular 976
numbers were busy.
238
00:11:23,624 --> 00:11:25,611
I know this is totally
not your thing...
239
00:11:25,789 --> 00:11:29,174
but as you will remember, part of
the coming-out process involves...
240
00:11:29,410 --> 00:11:32,715
the girls being escorted around
the dance floor by their dads.
241
00:11:33,698 --> 00:11:36,572
Now, I know you would rather
sit through Endless Love...
242
00:11:36,779 --> 00:11:39,493
than ever be a part
of this scene again...
243
00:11:39,693 --> 00:11:43,997
but this is important to your daughter,
and she's never asked you for anything.
244
00:11:44,272 --> 00:11:47,860
Although no one's keeping track, it
seems your constant non-presence...
245
00:11:48,102 --> 00:11:51,611
in her life, and your lack of showing
up when you say you're going to...
246
00:11:51,849 --> 00:11:53,563
or calling when you
say you're going to...
247
00:11:53,722 --> 00:11:56,107
or basically doing anything
when you say you will...
248
00:11:56,303 --> 00:11:59,211
would tend to indicate
that you owe her big time.
249
00:11:59,425 --> 00:12:02,458
Now, before you say no, I
want you to take a minute...
250
00:12:02,881 --> 00:12:05,833
and remember you have a
great daughter who needs you.
251
00:12:06,045 --> 00:12:09,508
She has a mother who will hunt you
down like a half-price Kate Spade purse...
252
00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:12,134
- if you disappoint her.
- Okay. I'm there.
253
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,350
You mean the Daughters of the
American Revolution Annual Debutante ball?
254
00:12:16,577 --> 00:12:17,645
Yes.
255
00:12:17,784 --> 00:12:20,373
- Don't make this promise if you can't.
- I wouldn't miss it.
256
00:12:20,573 --> 00:12:23,004
- It's next weekend.
- I'll clear my schedule.
257
00:12:23,695 --> 00:12:25,410
- You swear?
- Wait, next weekend?
258
00:12:25,569 --> 00:12:27,476
- Christopher.
- I'm kidding.
259
00:12:27,692 --> 00:12:29,327
I will definitely be there.
260
00:12:29,482 --> 00:12:32,752
In exchange, I'll refrain from saying
the 10 things that came to mind...
261
00:12:32,979 --> 00:12:34,614
for making fun of your schedule.
262
00:12:34,769 --> 00:12:36,438
- Thanks.
- Bye.
263
00:12:37,392 --> 00:12:40,662
Hey, little Debbie, your dad
is definitely gonna be there.
264
00:12:40,888 --> 00:12:42,001
- You're kidding.
- No.
265
00:12:42,138 --> 00:12:46,089
He's gonna walk you down the stairs,
turn you in a circle, watch you curtsy...
266
00:12:46,342 --> 00:12:49,488
and announce that Rory Gilmore
is officially open for business.
267
00:12:49,714 --> 00:12:52,269
- He definitely said "definitely"?
- Definitely.
268
00:12:52,461 --> 00:12:56,129
- So there's a 50-50 chance?
- He sounded pretty sure. I'd say 60-40.
269
00:13:00,663 --> 00:13:01,809
[TV blaring]
270
00:13:01,953 --> 00:13:04,827
No, Mom, I'm sure one
crinoline will be plenty.
271
00:13:05,033 --> 00:13:06,543
No, she doesn't.
272
00:13:07,323 --> 00:13:09,038
I'm sure she doesn't.
273
00:13:09,238 --> 00:13:11,146
In what scenario would
I have bought Rory...
274
00:13:11,319 --> 00:13:13,353
elbow-length kidskin gloves?
275
00:13:14,483 --> 00:13:16,437
Sorry, in what
scenario on my planet...
276
00:13:16,606 --> 00:13:19,797
would I have bought Rory
elbow-length kidskin gloves?
277
00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:22,462
- So?
- So what?
278
00:13:22,601 --> 00:13:23,634
It's good, huh?
279
00:13:23,767 --> 00:13:25,640
It's the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame induction.
280
00:13:25,807 --> 00:13:28,362
- Doesn't Neil Young look cool?
- I guess.
281
00:13:28,555 --> 00:13:30,383
If you'll notice,
he's wearing a tux.
282
00:13:30,553 --> 00:13:33,903
He looks cool because he's Neil
Young, not because he's wearing a tux.
283
00:13:34,132 --> 00:13:37,006
I don't have to ask her, Mom,
'cause I know the answer.
284
00:13:37,213 --> 00:13:39,485
I know the answer, Mom.
285
00:13:39,961 --> 00:13:43,152
Yeah. No. Well, I
don't have to ask her...
286
00:13:44,332 --> 00:13:45,525
Hold on.
287
00:13:47,496 --> 00:13:51,686
Would you like Grandma's hairstylist to
come and set your hair before the ball?
288
00:13:52,075 --> 00:13:55,300
I did not coach her. Go
back to talking about gloves.
289
00:13:56,155 --> 00:13:58,868
- You're gonna look great in a tux.
- Tails.
290
00:14:00,068 --> 00:14:02,055
- What?
- According to this it says that:
291
00:14:02,233 --> 00:14:04,140
"All escorts must
be properly attired..."
292
00:14:04,314 --> 00:14:07,300
"In black tails, white
cummerbunds, and white gloves."
293
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,507
- What?
- I'm sure the gloves are optional.
294
00:14:09,684 --> 00:14:11,399
Not according to this.
295
00:14:11,557 --> 00:14:14,624
- Tails? Gloves?
- Remember Neil Young.
296
00:14:15,596 --> 00:14:17,583
Remember that you love me.
297
00:14:18,385 --> 00:14:22,132
Remember that I'll be watching
BattleBots with you for a month.
298
00:14:23,339 --> 00:14:25,247
Show me Neil Young again.
299
00:14:26,212 --> 00:14:27,245
[Car horn honking]
300
00:14:27,378 --> 00:14:28,411
Dad!
301
00:14:31,748 --> 00:14:32,746
Dad.
302
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:36,821
Whoa! Hold it. A lady never runs
out to meet a gentleman caller...
303
00:14:37,077 --> 00:14:38,145
who hasn't been announced.
304
00:14:38,284 --> 00:14:40,191
We haven't tamed
my wild ways yet.
305
00:14:40,366 --> 00:14:42,921
- Thank God I'm here now.
- I missed you.
306
00:14:43,113 --> 00:14:44,669
- Me, too.
- Hey.
307
00:14:45,195 --> 00:14:46,944
- What is this?
- What?
308
00:14:47,234 --> 00:14:50,028
- God, where did this come from?
- What happened to your bike?
309
00:14:50,231 --> 00:14:52,423
Crazy game of key
exchange at the car wash.
310
00:14:52,605 --> 00:14:54,399
- This is a car.
- Yes, it is.
311
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:57,627
It has four wheels and
a roof and air bags...
312
00:14:57,850 --> 00:15:00,916
and seat belts, and my
God, it smells like a forest.
313
00:15:01,139 --> 00:15:05,443
Well, I needed a little more
space. Had something big to haul.
314
00:15:06,717 --> 00:15:08,829
I believe this belongs to you.
315
00:15:09,007 --> 00:15:11,676
- The Compact Oxford English Dictionary.
- I'd promised you.
316
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:13,396
- Sorry it took so long.
- That's okay.
317
00:15:13,502 --> 00:15:15,092
This is the new edition.
318
00:15:15,251 --> 00:15:17,523
The old one doesn't
have the word "jiggy" in it.
319
00:15:17,707 --> 00:15:20,092
Thank you. I love it. I'll
look things up right now.
320
00:15:20,288 --> 00:15:21,287
Wait!
321
00:15:21,787 --> 00:15:23,138
- Thanks.
- Go.
322
00:15:24,201 --> 00:15:26,665
- That was really great of you.
- Thank you.
323
00:15:26,866 --> 00:15:29,217
- Back to mocking my car?
- Yeah. A Volvo sedan.
324
00:15:29,405 --> 00:15:31,279
- Are you kidding?
- This is a great car.
325
00:15:31,445 --> 00:15:34,080
- For driving to bingo.
- It just seemed like time.
326
00:15:34,276 --> 00:15:36,263
I couldn't keep showing
up for work on my bike.
327
00:15:36,441 --> 00:15:37,792
- Work?

Yes, but I didn't think you had.

So you bought a

Actually, job, then car.

- Exactly.

Yeah, of course,
but it's Neil Young.
491
00:24:03,781 --> 00:24:06,972
All right, I should get
going. I'll see you at 3:00.
492
00:24:08,443 --> 00:24:09,511
Wait.
493
00:24:09,984 --> 00:24:11,380
- What's this?
- Your gloves.
494
00:24:11,524 --> 00:24:14,794
- I thought you were kidding.
- No. Ladies never kid.
495
00:24:15,604 --> 00:24:16,797
[Dean sighing]
496
00:24:17,144 --> 00:24:18,416
- Bye.
- Bye.
497
00:24:18,809 --> 00:24:20,762
- I'm going to bed, too.
- Do you need help?
498
00:24:20,933 --> 00:24:22,886
- No.
- Wrong. The correct answer is yes.
499
00:24:23,056 --> 00:24:26,008
- Ladies need help with everything.
- Good night.
500
00:24:27,968 --> 00:24:30,603
I don't know how she's
ever gonna make it in society.
501
00:24:30,798 --> 00:24:34,148
At this rate, she's gonna
get a job and only marry once.
502
00:24:34,629 --> 00:24:36,662
- Calling your mom again?
- I don't get it.
503
00:24:36,835 --> 00:24:39,901
Every five minutes last week, she
called to check on shoe fittings...
504
00:24:40,124 --> 00:24:43,110
and curtsy progress, and if I
talked Rory into putting her hair up.
505
00:24:43,329 --> 00:24:44,647
Then tonight, nothing.
506
00:24:44,786 --> 00:24:47,659
I'm sure they have a lot of
getting ready to do for themselves.
507
00:24:47,867 --> 00:24:50,059
She's been acting
so weird lately.
508
00:24:50,239 --> 00:24:52,545
They're fighting,
openly fighting.
509
00:24:53,070 --> 00:24:56,056
They've never done that before.
I'm not sure what to do about it.
510
00:24:56,276 --> 00:24:58,263
Move to California.
That's what I do.
511
00:24:58,441 --> 00:25:00,587
My father doesn't even
want to go tomorrow.
512
00:25:00,771 --> 00:25:04,235
His perfect angel granddaughter
is being presented to society...
513
00:25:04,476 --> 00:25:06,510
in front of his friends
and colleagues.
514
00:25:06,683 --> 00:25:09,988
Something he never got to do
with his bad, loser, evil daughter.
515
00:25:10,222 --> 00:25:12,289
Maybe you should talk to them.
516
00:25:12,469 --> 00:25:15,615
I'm sorry, was that me? I
must have had an aneurysm.
517
00:25:16,091 --> 00:25:17,965
Nothing more I can do tonight.
518
00:25:18,132 --> 00:25:20,199
I'm going to bed. Want
me to turn off the lights?
519
00:25:20,379 --> 00:25:23,764
Actually, I have to stay up
and do a little work tonight.
520
00:25:24,334 --> 00:25:27,843
I'm sorry. I keep forgetting
that that's not a joke anymore.
521
00:25:28,081 --> 00:25:29,274
Good night.
522
00:25:35,907 --> 00:25:37,577
This place is huge.
523
00:25:38,738 --> 00:25:41,531
- Do I have to walk down those stairs?
- I'm afraid so.
524
00:25:41,735 --> 00:25:45,358
Unless you want to make a memorable
entrance and slide down the banister...
525
00:25:45,607 --> 00:25:47,480
which I totally
encourage, by the way.
526
00:25:47,647 --> 00:25:49,362
- You are...
- Lorelai Gilmore.
527
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,315
- Late.
- Sorry. My fault.
528
00:25:51,977 --> 00:25:53,248
Took me a while to get pretty.
529
00:25:53,392 --> 00:25:56,583
Not all of us are 16 anymore,
you know what I mean? No.
530
00:25:56,805 --> 00:25:59,838
You are to head up the stairs.
The preparation room is on the right.
531
00:26:00,052 --> 00:26:03,039
Look for the toxic cloud
of Chanel and Final Net.
532
00:26:09,378 --> 00:26:12,171
Hang your dress there. Put
your makeup on over there.
533
00:26:12,375 --> 00:26:14,567
You'll have to make do
with a non-lighted mirror.
534
00:26:14,748 --> 00:26:17,621
The lighted ones went to the
girls that were here before dawn.
535
00:26:17,829 --> 00:26:19,180
Listen up, ladies!
536
00:26:19,327 --> 00:26:22,870
Everyone must be beautiful
and ready to go by 7:30.
537
00:26:23,116 --> 00:26:24,592
[Girls gasping]
538
00:26:27,778 --> 00:26:31,651
- Can't believe we have an hour and a half.
- I'm never gonna be ready in time.
539
00:26:31,899 --> 00:26:34,329
God knows when the swelling
on my nose is gonna go down.
540
00:26:34,522 --> 00:26:37,986
I had to go and inherit
my father's nose. I'm Libby.
541
00:26:38,976 --> 00:26:42,360
Which one should I wear? I
thought all month and I cannot decide.
542
00:26:42,598 --> 00:26:44,347
Well, that's a tough one.
543
00:26:44,513 --> 00:26:46,978
I know. This is red-red,
and this is orange-red.
544
00:26:47,177 --> 00:26:49,971
The wrong one, and I will
look like a hooker or a teacher.
545
00:26:50,175 --> 00:26:51,321
That's a lot of pressure.
546
00:26:51,465 --> 00:26:53,214
The two minutes you
stand on the stairs...
547
00:26:53,380 --> 00:26:55,970
will determine your social
status for the rest of your life.
548
00:26:56,169 --> 00:26:58,395
Wow. What if you trip?
549
00:26:59,583 --> 00:27:02,854
I mean, not that you
would. You wouldn't. I might.
550
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,146
Probably will, actually. Could
be a Cirque du Soleil kind of night.
551
00:27:06,369 --> 00:27:09,117
You should not even
joke about stuff like that.
552
00:27:10,074 --> 00:27:11,664
There's a head under there.
553
00:27:13,404 --> 00:27:15,277
You are a wonderful man.
554
00:27:15,444 --> 00:27:18,192
I have a feeling we're
gonna be very close tonight.
555
00:27:21,022 --> 00:27:23,657
- Mom, you're here.
- Where should I be, Spain?
556
00:27:23,853 --> 00:27:26,488
I tried calling you
all night last night.
557
00:27:26,767 --> 00:27:29,913
- I was very busy.
- And then we got here before you.
558
00:27:30,139 --> 00:27:32,808
- What is your point?
- Nothing. It's just weird.
559
00:27:33,012 --> 00:27:35,521
Well, I'm here now, so
it's not weird anymore.
560
00:27:35,717 --> 00:27:38,068
Look at these
flowers. Baby's breath.
561
00:27:38,257 --> 00:27:40,051
What is this, County General?
562
00:27:40,214 --> 00:27:42,087
You look very nice.
I like your dress.
563
00:27:42,253 --> 00:27:45,603
Cotton tablecloths, folding chairs.
It's not supposed to be like this.
564
00:27:45,833 --> 00:27:48,979
- In my day, people sat in real chairs.
- Mom, what's the matter?
565
00:27:49,206 --> 00:27:52,000
I wanted my granddaughter
to be presented to society...
566
00:27:52,203 --> 00:27:55,111
in a beautiful, elegant
ballroom, not a Shakey's.
567
00:27:55,325 --> 00:27:57,835
The room is beautiful.
You're being too critical.
568
00:27:58,031 --> 00:28:00,620
There's Nan. I'm going to
have a little talk with her...
569
00:28:00,820 --> 00:28:02,932
about the proper
height for a taper.
570
00:28:05,815 --> 00:28:07,167
Midori Sour?
571
00:28:08,147 --> 00:28:10,782
- No, thanks.
- More for me.
572
00:28:13,476 --> 00:28:16,861
My last coming-out, I shared with
this girl who couldn't handle her booze.
573
00:28:17,097 --> 00:28:19,482
Neon-green puke all
over her white dress.
574
00:28:19,678 --> 00:28:20,871
Your last coming-out?
575
00:28:21,011 --> 00:28:22,839
This is my fifth one this year.
576
00:28:23,009 --> 00:28:25,757
They say four out of five
debs marry their escorts.
577
00:28:25,964 --> 00:28:27,872
Kind of like the
dentists with Trident.
578
00:28:28,045 --> 00:28:32,191
Five coming-out balls, five escorts.
One of them has to stick, right?
579
00:28:32,459 --> 00:28:35,367
- Good logic.
- So is your escort the one?
580
00:28:35,622 --> 00:28:37,734
- The one what?
- The one you're gonna marry.
581
00:28:37,912 --> 00:28:40,739
- Is he cute?
- Yes, he is very cute.
582
00:28:40,951 --> 00:28:43,177
- Where will you live when you marry?
- Hold on.
583
00:28:43,365 --> 00:28:46,432
Katie, hi. Too bad
about your face.
584
00:28:46,654 --> 00:28:49,959
- Is it horrible?
- No, you can hardly tell.
585
00:28:50,317 --> 00:28:51,987
Just walk sideways.
586
00:28:52,566 --> 00:28:54,633
These things will
be the death of me.
587
00:28:54,814 --> 00:28:57,164
I know. And we've
had no time to prep.
588
00:28:57,353 --> 00:29:00,339
Jenna just got out of
Rainbow Hills two days ago.
589
00:29:00,975 --> 00:29:02,770
- Rehab?
- Fat farm.
590
00:29:04,347 --> 00:29:07,061
Hi. Sorry to interrupt.
Could you come with me?
591
00:29:07,261 --> 00:29:09,770
My cummerbund and I
aren't seeing eye to eye.
592
00:29:09,967 --> 00:29:12,398
Men. Totally
helpless. Excuse me.
593
00:29:14,296 --> 00:29:17,681
You saved me. I love you.
I want to have your baby.
594
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,027
- Too late.
- I saw the look.
595
00:29:20,208 --> 00:29:23,115
The same one you had that time
you ended up on homecoming court.
596
00:29:23,330 --> 00:29:25,714
Someone's idea
of a sick, sick joke.
597
00:29:26,910 --> 00:29:30,340
By the way, Neil Young's
got nothing on you.
598
00:29:30,573 --> 00:29:31,969
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
599
00:29:32,613 --> 00:29:34,805
- Have you seen your father?
- No.
600
00:29:34,987 --> 00:29:36,702
He promised me
he'd be here by now.
601
00:29:36,859 --> 00:29:39,607
- You didn't come together?
- I swear, if he misses this...
602
00:29:39,816 --> 00:29:42,121
- Did you call him?
- Of course I called him.
603
00:29:42,313 --> 00:29:44,220
I wouldn't go this long
without calling him.
604
00:29:44,395 --> 00:29:46,268
- Emily, he's here.
- Where?
605
00:29:48,266 --> 00:29:49,936
Where have you been?
606
00:29:53,178 --> 00:29:55,847
I can't look. Did she bean
him with the baby's breath?
607
00:29:56,051 --> 00:29:58,845
No, they're just energetically
practicing their sign language.
608
00:29:59,048 --> 00:30:00,241
Oh, God.
609
00:30:00,797 --> 00:30:03,466
Okay, I think this is a
really good time for a martini.
610
00:30:03,670 --> 00:30:05,657
Hello? Thirsty people here.
611
00:30:06,750 --> 00:30:09,214
- What are you doing?
- Steve won't mind.
612
00:30:09,414 --> 00:30:11,719
Little tip, never a good
idea to let people know...
613
00:30:11,912 --> 00:30:14,864
you're on a first-name
basis with the bartender.
614
00:30:15,492 --> 00:30:17,638
- This is really something.
- What?
615
00:30:17,823 --> 00:30:20,015
You and I together
at a debutante ball.
616
00:30:20,196 --> 00:30:21,309
Yeah.
617
00:30:21,445 --> 00:30:23,478
Just like it would have
been 16 years ago.
618
00:30:23,652 --> 00:30:25,719
- Fancy dress.
- Sneaking booze.
619
00:30:25,899 --> 00:30:28,535
- Parents acting crazy.
- You look great.
620
00:30:30,312 --> 00:30:32,867
- I'm so glad you're here.
- So am I.
621
00:30:34,100 --> 00:30:37,882
ANNOUNCER: All fathers, please report
to the debutante staging area upstairs.
622
00:30:38,222 --> 00:30:40,051
Fathers, to the staging area.
623
00:30:40,220 --> 00:30:43,128
- Showtime. You gonna be all right?
- Absolutely.
624
00:30:46,256 --> 00:30:47,652
I'll see you later.
625
00:30:48,504 --> 00:30:49,730
Curtsy pretty.
626
00:30:53,250 --> 00:30:56,362
Just wanted to see you before
you became a proper lady of society.
627
00:30:56,580 --> 00:30:58,091
- What do you think?
- I think...
628
00:30:58,245 --> 00:31:01,198
- you look like a cotton ball.
- Why, thank you, Jeeves.
629
00:31:01,409 --> 00:31:03,442
But a really cute cotton ball.
630
00:31:03,616 --> 00:31:05,092
Oh, my God, is this your escort?
631
00:31:05,239 --> 00:31:08,147
- Yeah, it is.
- You are totally getting married.
632
00:31:11,067 --> 00:31:13,452
- What did she say?
- Well...
633
00:31:13,940 --> 00:31:15,496
Dad. Great, let's go.
634
00:31:15,646 --> 00:31:18,440
- I'll meet you downstairs. Good luck.
- Okay.
635
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,252
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and
gentlemen, good evening.
636
00:31:21,433 --> 00:31:23,467
If everyone could
please take their seat.
637
00:31:23,639 --> 00:31:25,468
We're about to
get started with...
638
00:31:25,637 --> 00:31:27,705
Last chance to shimmy
down the drainpipe.
639
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:29,442
- Do me a favor?
- Anything.
640
00:31:29,593 --> 00:31:31,978
- Just don't let me fall.
- Right back at you.
641
00:31:36,420 --> 00:31:37,851
Good evening.
642
00:31:38,002 --> 00:31:40,637
On behalf of the Daughters
of the American Revolution...
643
00:31:40,833 --> 00:31:44,784
I would like to welcome you
to our annual debutante ball.
644
00:31:45,203 --> 00:31:47,554
This brings back
so many memories.
645
00:31:47,744 --> 00:31:50,890
I myself came out in
this very hall in 19...
646
00:31:51,614 --> 00:31:54,362
Well, let's just say a
number of years ago.
647
00:31:55,445 --> 00:31:59,193
Now, the word "debutante" comes
from the French word "débuter"...
648
00:31:59,442 --> 00:32:02,037
EMILY: You're being irrational.
WOMAN: which means to lead off.
649
00:32:02,188 --> 00:32:05,175
- Just come sit down.
- I'm going to finish my drink.
650
00:32:05,394 --> 00:32:08,142
You won't be happy until
you've spoiled this evening.
651
00:32:08,350 --> 00:32:10,734
Guys, there's a
lady up there with...
652
00:32:10,931 --> 00:32:15,121
wearing a rock the size of Neptune, talking
about the debutantes of ancient Greece.
653
00:32:15,385 --> 00:32:18,974
It's a lot easier to fall asleep if
you're sitting down. Trust me.
654
00:32:19,215 --> 00:32:21,361
I will sit down when I
am ready to sit down.
655
00:32:21,547 --> 00:32:24,102
- Lower your voice.
- No, I will not lower my voice.
656
00:32:24,294 --> 00:32:27,485
I paid a fortune to be here, and
I will speak as loudly as I like.
657
00:32:27,708 --> 00:32:29,820
You're embarrassing
us, embarrassing Rory.
658
00:32:29,998 --> 00:32:32,825
This wasn't Rory's
idea. This was your idea.
659
00:32:33,078 --> 00:32:35,111
This ridiculous
evening was your idea.
660
00:32:35,284 --> 00:32:37,112
You don't want her
presented to society?
661
00:32:37,282 --> 00:32:39,712
To hell with society!
Yes, I'm talking about you!
662
00:32:39,905 --> 00:32:41,301
Come on, that's it.
663
00:32:42,028 --> 00:32:43,981
Are you two completely
out of your minds?
664
00:32:44,151 --> 00:32:45,900
There's a ceremony
going on in there.
665
00:32:46,066 --> 00:32:49,019
Young girls in ugly dresses and
stupid fans are parading around...
666
00:32:49,230 --> 00:32:51,944
in circles for whatever reason,
and you two are ruining it.
667
00:32:52,144 --> 00:32:54,336
I didn't want to come
here. You knew that.
668
00:32:54,517 --> 00:32:57,106
That's too bad. We have
a social responsibility.
669
00:32:57,306 --> 00:32:59,418
I am so tired of
hearing you say that.
670
00:32:59,596 --> 00:33:02,628
People expect us to be certain
places and do certain things.
671
00:33:02,843 --> 00:33:04,637
We can't just
withdraw from all that.
672
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,470
You know what I'm
going through at work?
673
00:33:06,631 --> 00:33:09,141
Your whole life isn't
that damn company.
674
00:33:09,337 --> 00:33:12,562
I have told you what I'm going
through, but you don't seem to hear it.
675
00:33:12,793 --> 00:33:14,780
You don't listen
to me or anybody.
676
00:33:14,958 --> 00:33:16,548
- That is not true.
- It is.
677
00:33:16,705 --> 00:33:19,295
Isn't it true? Has she ever
listened to a word you've said?
678
00:33:19,495 --> 00:33:22,448
People listen in different ways.
679
00:33:22,659 --> 00:33:25,533
Right? Some people listen
with their ears and some people...
680
00:33:25,739 --> 00:33:27,136
listen with not their ears.
681
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:30,743
But that doesn't mean some
listening hasn't happened in some form.
682
00:33:30,984 --> 00:33:34,209
I have listened to you, Richard.
I know exactly what is going on.
683
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,791
Really? What?
684
00:33:35,939 --> 00:33:37,495
- You lost an account.
- What?
685
00:33:37,646 --> 00:33:41,030
No. I didn't lose an account.
I was taken off an account.
686
00:33:41,267 --> 00:33:45,412
I was taken off an account that I
brought into this company 10 years ago.
687
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,111
There are other accounts.
688
00:33:47,262 --> 00:33:49,726
I have been in charge of
that account for 10 years!
689
00:33:49,927 --> 00:33:52,913
How can you be so angry? Yes,
they took you off that account...
690
00:33:53,132 --> 00:33:55,357
but they also gave
you a promotion.
691
00:33:55,546 --> 00:33:56,977
You said they
moved you upstairs...
692
00:33:57,128 --> 00:34:01,035
to a larger office and gave you a
new title and a better parking space.
693
00:34:01,291 --> 00:34:04,199
- Damn it. I am being phased out.
- You are not.
694
00:34:04,413 --> 00:34:08,638
I know whether I'm being phased out. I
invented "phased out" for this company.
695
00:34:08,910 --> 00:34:11,703
Don't you think I did the exact
same thing to Allen Parker?
696
00:34:11,907 --> 00:34:14,939
- Allen Parker retired.
- Allen Parker was phased out.
697
00:34:15,154 --> 00:34:18,027
I now have his office. I
now have his parking space.
698
00:34:18,234 --> 00:34:19,869
You know what happens from here?
699
00:34:20,025 --> 00:34:22,898
I lose more accounts
slowly, but surely.
700
00:34:23,438 --> 00:34:26,868
They will put a younger man on
them with me to be trained by the best.
701
00:34:27,101 --> 00:34:30,009
Then one day, they'll
call and ask me...
702
00:34:30,223 --> 00:34:33,925
to let that young man take a meeting
without me, to see how fast he's learning.
703
00:34:34,179 --> 00:34:37,563
And then, suddenly, that
young man is given that account.
704
00:34:38,009 --> 00:34:40,756
And this happens again
and again and again...
705
00:34:40,964 --> 00:34:44,314
until I am nothing but
a symbolic figurehead...
706
00:34:44,544 --> 00:34:47,372
that they roll out for
banquets and group pictures.
707
00:34:47,584 --> 00:34:49,571
And then, one day, Emily...
708
00:34:50,456 --> 00:34:52,409
I will be asked to leave.
709
00:34:55,701 --> 00:34:57,132
Well, so what?
710
00:34:57,949 --> 00:34:59,096
Excuse me?
711
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,067
- I don't think Mom meant exactly...
- So what if that's true?
712
00:35:02,279 --> 00:35:04,505
- Or maybe she did.
- There are other options.
713
00:35:04,693 --> 00:35:06,680
I don't want other options.
714
00:35:06,899 --> 00:35:09,171
I want to get up every
morning and put on my suit...
715
00:35:09,355 --> 00:35:13,057
and go to my office and do my work,
like I've done every day for 30 years.
716
00:35:13,310 --> 00:35:16,058
That's what I want to do.
That's the only thing I want to do.
717
00:35:16,266 --> 00:35:19,378
Excuse me. Hi. Sorry
to interrupt, but I'm next.
718
00:35:25,799 --> 00:35:27,231
WOMAN: Elizabeth Doty.
719
00:35:27,589 --> 00:35:31,939
Daughter of George Edward
Doty IV and Eleanor Doty.
720
00:35:32,377 --> 00:35:34,047
[Audience applauding]
721
00:35:37,789 --> 00:35:39,423
Lorelai Gilmore.
722
00:35:39,787 --> 00:35:43,614
Daughter of Christopher
Hayden and Lorelai Gilmore.
723
00:35:44,075 --> 00:35:45,903
[Audience applauding]
724
00:36:18,169 --> 00:36:20,554
That should have
been you up there.
725
00:36:21,416 --> 00:36:24,448
Nothing's turning out the
way it was supposed to.
726
00:36:41,233 --> 00:36:43,617
Did you know that you're
considered a hot dad?
727
00:36:43,813 --> 00:36:44,811
Really?
728
00:36:44,938 --> 00:36:46,971
Libby said it's too
bad you're my real dad.
729
00:36:47,143 --> 00:36:49,937
If you were my step-dad, I
could steal you away from Mom.
730
00:36:50,141 --> 00:36:51,969
Libby's got a good
life ahead of her.
731
00:36:52,139 --> 00:36:53,774
I was very proud of all of you.
732
00:36:53,930 --> 00:36:56,803
You made it through the entire
ceremony with a straight face.
733
00:36:57,010 --> 00:36:58,236
Almost all of you.
734
00:36:58,383 --> 00:37:01,131
I'm sorry, but that fan dance
was more than I could take.
735
00:37:01,340 --> 00:37:03,452
- I need burger.
- Me, too. Dean?
736
00:37:03,629 --> 00:37:06,661
The only thing I can think
of is taking off this tux.
737
00:37:06,876 --> 00:37:09,102
Watch it. You're
talking to a lady now.
738
00:37:09,290 --> 00:37:11,800
- How about if I do it at home?
- Better.
739
00:37:12,038 --> 00:37:15,548
- Thanks again for going with me.
- Tomorrow, you start paying.
740
00:37:15,785 --> 00:37:17,103
- Bye.
- Bye.
741
00:37:17,908 --> 00:37:19,305
And then there were three.
742
00:37:19,448 --> 00:37:21,754
I have to get back to
Boston in the morning...
743
00:37:21,946 --> 00:37:23,694
so I'm gonna
call it a night, too.
744
00:37:23,861 --> 00:37:25,531
What? Not even time for fries?
745
00:37:25,692 --> 00:37:28,883
I'll get up a little early and
have coffee with you before I go.
746
00:37:29,106 --> 00:37:30,502
- Deal?
- Deal.
747
00:37:31,396 --> 00:37:34,462
Go ahead and order for
us. I'll be there in a sec.
748
00:37:37,474 --> 00:37:40,540
I just wanted to tell you how
amazing you were tonight.
749
00:37:40,763 --> 00:37:43,069
Really, you completely
came through for her.
750
00:37:43,260 --> 00:37:44,612
She deserves it.
751
00:37:44,759 --> 00:37:47,224
I haven't always given you
a lot of credit in the past...
752
00:37:47,423 --> 00:37:49,808
but I'm giving you
credit now. Big credit.
753
00:37:50,004 --> 00:37:53,117
- Major credit. Buy yourself a sofa.
- Thanks. I will.
754
00:37:53,876 --> 00:37:55,194
You know...
755
00:37:55,791 --> 00:37:59,936
I happened to be looking through
some old maps this afternoon...
756
00:38:00,203 --> 00:38:04,314
and I couldn't help but notice
that Boston is not that far away.
757
00:38:04,824 --> 00:38:06,812
You needed a
map to tell you that?
758
00:38:06,989 --> 00:38:11,101
I also noticed that that
I-84 is a very good road.
759
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:12,678
Solid, paved.
760
00:38:12,817 --> 00:38:15,372
I put this information
in my pretty little head.
761
00:38:15,565 --> 00:38:19,313
I was thinking, if you wanted
to maybe drop by occasionally...
762
00:38:19,562 --> 00:38:20,879
it wouldn't be too difficult.
763
00:38:21,019 --> 00:38:23,767
You realize I'll be
driving the Volvo?
764
00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:26,536
Actually, I'm coming
around to the Volvo.
765
00:38:26,722 --> 00:38:28,789
- Really?
- Yes.
766
00:38:29,261 --> 00:38:32,293
I think it's sort of a
Catholic schoolgirl thing.
767
00:38:32,508 --> 00:38:36,698
You know, it's conservative on
the outside, bad on the inside.
768
00:38:36,963 --> 00:38:38,553
I like that image.
769
00:38:42,957 --> 00:38:46,307
I've also heard the I-84 can
get jammed on weekends.
770
00:38:46,538 --> 00:38:47,764
It can.
771
00:38:47,953 --> 00:38:52,064
So if you wanted to stay a little
longer, just to avoid the traffic...
772
00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:54,250
it might be a good idea.
773
00:38:54,406 --> 00:38:57,075
I mean, Rory would
definitely love it.
774
00:38:58,443 --> 00:39:00,238
And I wouldn't mind, either.
775
00:39:01,149 --> 00:39:04,499
That is a tempting offer,
but I really have to get back.
776
00:39:06,186 --> 00:39:08,140
- To work?
- To work...
777
00:39:09,725 --> 00:39:11,712
and to someone.
778
00:39:12,681 --> 00:39:13,679
Oh.
779
00:39:15,136 --> 00:39:16,726
I know, I should have told you.
780
00:39:16,885 --> 00:39:20,190
- That's fine. It's totally your business.
- I meant to, but...
781
00:39:20,590 --> 00:39:21,817
[Christopher sighing]
782
00:39:22,214 --> 00:39:24,121
It's just that you and
I are so connected...
783
00:39:24,295 --> 00:39:26,203
Chris, please. I get it.
784
00:39:26,585 --> 00:39:29,731
- I think it's really great. I really do.
- Thank you.
785
00:39:30,540 --> 00:39:32,369
So, who is it? Let me guess.
786
00:39:32,539 --> 00:39:34,367
Linda from marketing got to you.
787
00:39:34,537 --> 00:39:36,413
- Her name is Sherrie.
- Sherrie from marketing?
788
00:39:36,576 --> 00:39:39,131
- Sherrie from Boston.
- Hence the move.
789
00:39:39,324 --> 00:39:41,674
- Is it serious?
- It's getting there.
790
00:39:41,905 --> 00:39:43,972
"Seeing you in just
a bow tie" serious?
791
00:39:44,153 --> 00:39:45,901
We're living together.
792
00:39:46,151 --> 00:39:47,149
Wow.
793
00:39:47,441 --> 00:39:48,838
You really have changed.
794
00:39:48,981 --> 00:39:53,093
Sherrie made it clear I was gonna lose
her if I didn't start getting it together.
795
00:39:53,353 --> 00:39:56,624
If you find a girl who's good
with dating a square in a Volvo...
796
00:39:56,850 --> 00:39:58,917
you do what it
takes to keep her.
797
00:40:01,929 --> 00:40:04,802
So I'll see you back home.
798
00:40:05,218 --> 00:40:06,489
Yes, you will.
799
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,313
[Lorelai gasping]
800
00:40:29,446 --> 00:40:30,514
What?
801
00:40:30,653 --> 00:40:35,081
After all you've been through tonight,
I come in and find you eating like that?
802
00:40:37,147 --> 00:40:39,453
- There you go.
- Being a lady is hard.
803
00:40:39,645 --> 00:40:42,154
So, tonight? What's
the consensus?
804
00:40:42,726 --> 00:40:46,031
The fan dance was humiliating.
I'm never doing a curtsy again.
805
00:40:46,264 --> 00:40:47,934
But having Dad around was great.
806
00:40:48,096 --> 00:40:50,560
- Yeah, it was.
- He's got a new girlfriend.
807
00:40:50,761 --> 00:40:52,112
- Sherrie.
- Yeah.
808
00:40:52,259 --> 00:40:54,814
Poor girl's named after a
Journey song. That's rough.
809
00:40:55,007 --> 00:40:58,391
- He seems happy.
- He does. He really does.
810
00:40:58,628 --> 00:41:00,342
- I'm glad.
- Me, too.
811
00:41:00,501 --> 00:41:02,613
I feel kind of bad
for Grandma, though.
812
00:41:02,791 --> 00:41:05,618
She was so into this night, and
she ended up being so miserable.
813
00:41:05,830 --> 00:41:08,181
Don't worry. She'll have
more fun at the next one.
814
00:41:08,369 --> 00:41:09,437
- Excuse me?
- Yes.
815
00:41:09,577 --> 00:41:11,769
We have you signed
up for the next six balls.
816
00:41:11,949 --> 00:41:13,664
- Not funny.
- You're doing this...
817
00:41:13,823 --> 00:41:16,412
- till you bring home a prize.
- Ignoring you now.
818
00:41:18,736 --> 00:41:20,007
Back from the ball?
819
00:41:20,151 --> 00:41:22,615
I left behind a glass slipper
and a business card...
820
00:41:22,815 --> 00:41:24,530
in case the prince
is really dumb.
821
00:41:24,688 --> 00:41:26,722
Good and desperate thinking.
822
00:41:27,061 --> 00:41:29,730
- Thank you. Luke.
- What?
823
00:41:36,303 --> 00:41:37,893
What do you think you're doing?
824
00:41:38,051 --> 00:41:39,880
- Working.
- So you think this is funny?
825
00:41:40,049 --> 00:41:42,082
I'm sorry, I thought
this was the uniform.
826
00:41:42,256 --> 00:41:45,368
You know what? That's
fine. Have your little joke.
827
00:41:45,586 --> 00:41:46,619
Doesn't bother me at all.
828
00:41:46,752 --> 00:41:50,500
You just go over there and clean
off that table. I'm ignoring you.
829
00:41:50,748 --> 00:41:52,894
- You do not exist.
- Okay.
830
00:41:59,657 --> 00:42:03,167
- That's it. Get upstairs and change.
- Whatever you say, Uncle Luke.
831
00:42:03,404 --> 00:42:06,834
It's Luke. Just Luke. Mr. Luke.
832
00:42:07,067 --> 00:42:09,213
In fact, don't
address me at all!
833
00:42:09,399 --> 00:42:12,670
- You know, I'm really lucky.
- Yeah? Why?
834
00:42:12,895 --> 00:42:16,643
I have someone to complain to
when life sucks or work sucks...
835
00:42:16,892 --> 00:42:20,004
or just everything sucks, I
have someone I can talk to.
836
00:42:20,222 --> 00:42:22,732
- Yeah? Who?
- Shecky, you kill me.
837
00:42:23,761 --> 00:42:25,873
It must be really
lonely not to have that.
838
00:42:26,050 --> 00:42:27,720
You thinking about Grandma?
839
00:42:28,090 --> 00:42:30,521
I'm just thinking.
840
00:42:39,830 --> 00:42:41,023
Hey, Mom.
841
00:42:41,911 --> 00:42:43,944
- What are you doing here?
- Nothing much.
842
00:42:44,117 --> 00:42:47,104
I had a little time before my
business class, and I thought:
843
00:42:47,323 --> 00:42:50,673
"Hey, why don't I go over to
Mom's house and just hang?"
844
00:42:51,153 --> 00:42:52,663
- Just what?
- Just hang.
845
00:42:52,819 --> 00:42:55,851
You know, hang out,
talk, don't talk, whatever.
846
00:42:56,066 --> 00:42:57,292
Just hang.
847
00:42:59,437 --> 00:43:01,504
- You're gardening, huh?
- Yes.
848
00:43:01,935 --> 00:43:06,239
Okay, well, don't let me
stop you. I'll just sit here...
849
00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:08,702
and just hang.
850
00:43:08,845 --> 00:43:10,719
Are you sure you
don't need something?
851
00:43:10,886 --> 00:43:12,919
Nope. I'm just here to hang.
852
00:43:16,255 --> 00:43:17,288
Well.
853
00:43:20,543 --> 00:43:24,370
Mom, if there's ever anything you
want to talk about with me, you can.
854
00:43:26,580 --> 00:43:27,851
All right.
855
00:43:29,203 --> 00:43:30,236
Okay.
856
00:43:32,283 --> 00:43:33,281
So...
