Enough already." 369 00:19:01,128 --> 00:19:03,240 "Draw a nice fruit bowl once in a while, will you?" 370 00:19:03,418 --> 00:19:06,291 A great artist can make art out of anything, including pasta. 371 00:19:06,499 --> 00:19:08,929 - Fine, pasta. - Is there coffee? 372 00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:10,552 - Just made some. - Great. 373 00:19:10,702 --> 00:19:13,496 Today's your lunch with Emily. Any idea what she's gonna say? 374 00:19:13,699 --> 00:19:17,084 I bet it's not, "I'm joining the circus. Feed your father till I get back." 375 00:19:17,321 --> 00:19:20,273 - I should cancel. - You can't. You're meeting her in an hour. 376 00:19:20,485 --> 00:19:23,834 But this goes against every rule I have in the Gilmore Survival Guide. 377 00:19:24,065 --> 00:19:27,051 Number 1: No running with scissors. Number 2: No pageboy haircuts. 378 00:19:27,269 --> 00:19:29,575 Number 3: Never ever have lunch alone with the mother. 379 00:19:29,767 --> 00:19:31,163 It might not be so bad. 380 00:19:31,307 --> 00:19:35,577 Saying yes to this lunch is like saying, "Sounds fun!" to a ride with Clemenza. 381 00:19:35,844 --> 00:19:37,797 Think good thoughts. She could surprise you. 382 00:19:37,967 --> 00:19:39,035 I guess. 383 00:19:39,174 --> 00:19:41,320 People change, you know. They do it every day. 384 00:19:41,505 --> 00:19:44,412 One minute, you could be, let's say, a vegetarian. 385 00:19:44,626 --> 00:19:45,739 And the next minute... 386 00:19:45,876 --> 00:19:48,465 you could accidentally have a bite of a stuffed pork chop... 387 00:19:48,664 --> 00:19:50,776 that changes your entire way of thinking. 388 00:19:50,954 --> 00:19:54,338 Suddenly life's fun. Suddenly there's a reason to get up in the morning. 389 00:19:54,576 --> 00:19:56,370 - It's called "bacon." - Forget it. 390 00:19:56,532 --> 00:19:58,166 - Come on! - Pasta. 391 00:19:58,322 --> 00:20:00,434 Let the people grow, damn it. 392 00:20:07,729 --> 00:20:10,114 Rory, hi. Nice of you to join us. 393 00:20:10,934 --> 00:20:13,284 No, I talk, okay? Great. 394 00:20:13,473 --> 00:20:16,266 - Now let's discuss Paris. - What about her? 395 00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:20,581 She seems to have this strange idea that she's actually in charge around here... 396 00:20:20,841 --> 00:20:24,112 and I thought it would be good if I let you in on a little secret. 397 00:20:24,337 --> 00:20:26,643 - She's not. - Why not tell her this yourself? 398 00:20:26,835 --> 00:20:30,583 Because talking to Paris is like shopping for a bathing suit in December: 399 00:20:30,831 --> 00:20:33,579 frustrating, fruitless, and a complete waste of time. 400 00:20:33,786 --> 00:20:36,580 No. You. You might be the wallflower... 401 00:20:36,783 --> 00:20:39,577 but you're obviously the Meyer Lansky behind this organization. 402 00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:42,449 - I am not the Meyer Lansky. - What's that noise? 403 00:20:42,653 --> 00:20:44,084 What is that noise? 404 00:20:44,234 --> 00:20:47,936 Wait. It's me still talking. Didn't you hear it? Obviously not. 405 00:20:48,188 --> 00:20:50,697 Anyhow, Paris is student body president. 406 00:20:50,894 --> 00:20:52,847 Big fat deal. 407 00:20:53,017 --> 00:20:54,890 There are three other class presidents: 408 00:20:55,057 --> 00:20:57,884 the junior class president, the sophomore class president... 409 00:20:58,096 --> 00:21:01,445 and, yes, the senior class president: me. 410 00:21:01,675 --> 00:21:04,423 - I know all this. - Then it's off the short bus for you. 411 00:21:04,631 --> 00:21:07,424 If Paris thinks she's gonna march around dictating mandates... 412 00:21:07,628 --> 00:21:11,012 and ignoring what I have to say, then she's in for a major bikini wax. 413 00:21:11,249 --> 00:21:14,281 - Thanks for the visual. - Without me, she's nothing. 414 00:21:14,496 --> 00:21:16,022 Just another power-mad, insecure, 415 00:21:16,034 --> 00:21:18,084 friendless, dateless, highlightless loser... 416 00:21:18,325 --> 00:21:22,470 wandering and trying to make someone care that they exist, which no one does. 417 00:21:22,737 --> 00:21:26,167 I control the senior class. I am also the leader of the Puffs... 418 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,035 the most exclusive society on this campus. 419 00:21:29,231 --> 00:21:31,218 I have the power to make her life a living hell. 420 00:21:31,395 --> 00:21:32,463 She's just... 421 00:21:32,603 --> 00:21:34,874 I can ensure she does nothing but lead the students... 422 00:21:35,059 --> 00:21:38,647 in whatever version of the Pledge of Allegiance is constitutional at the time. 423 00:21:38,888 --> 00:21:40,001 What do you want me to do? 424 00:21:40,137 --> 00:21:42,692 I want you to go back to Margaret Thatcher... 425 00:21:42,884 --> 00:21:44,712 and tell her to play ball. 426 00:21:44,882 --> 00:21:46,597 She's gonna support the hemline issue... 427 00:21:46,755 --> 00:21:49,629 and any other issue that I bring up for the rest of the year. 428 00:21:49,835 --> 00:21:51,868 Otherwise, I'll make her so ineffectual... 429 00:21:52,042 --> 00:21:54,835 she'll make Jimmy Carter look like Martin Sheen. You get me? 430 00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:57,469 We should be representing the interests of the students. 431 00:21:57,661 --> 00:22:00,045 We're not supposed to be brokering back-door deals... 432 00:22:00,241 --> 00:22:02,750 and pushing through agendas with intimidation and bribery. 433 00:22:02,947 --> 00:22:04,741 What are we, French skating judges? 434 00:22:04,904 --> 00:22:06,971 - Wise up, Goldilocks. - My hair's brown. 435 00:22:07,152 --> 00:22:08,378 This is politics. 436 00:22:08,525 --> 00:22:10,796 If you've got a problem, tell it to Noam Chomsky. 437 00:22:10,981 --> 00:22:13,286 I live in the real world.

A hand pulled me into the bathroom. 444 00:22:28,339 --> 00:22:30,974 What are you talking about? You sought me out... 445 00:22:31,170 --> 00:22:33,520 because you thought Paris was out of line today... 446 00:22:33,709 --> 00:22:36,854 and you wanted to make sure my very delicate feelings weren't hurt. 447 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,750 You are so sweet to think of me. 448 00:22:38,911 --> 00:22:41,103 I feel much better now that I have you on my side. 449 00:22:41,284 --> 00:22:43,510 Bye now.

But we both agreed... 466 00:23:30,818 --> 00:23:33,771 that there's nothing like some good loving to shut a person up. 467 00:23:33,982 --> 00:23:35,810 I'm sorry. Can you bring me a sharper fork? 468 00:23:35,980 --> 00:23:38,364 This one may not go all the way through your hand. 469 00:23:38,561 --> 00:23:41,025 I know it's new, so you probably don't want to jinx it. 470 00:23:41,225 --> 00:23:42,973 So I won't talk about it anymore. 471 00:23:43,139 --> 00:23:47,045 But I have to tell you, seeing that guy's face when he talked about you... 472 00:23:47,302 --> 00:23:50,015 - he almost had an expression. - Far away from me. 473 00:23:50,216 --> 00:23:52,044 Love is in the air 474 00:23:55,585 --> 00:23:58,094 Why are you throwing cutlery in a public place? 475 00:23:58,291 --> 00:24:00,164 'Cause I feel stupid doing it at home. 476 00:24:00,330 --> 00:24:02,602 I'm sorry I'm late. There was traffic on the way. 477 00:24:02,787 --> 00:24:05,455 If I'd been on time, there'd still be the possibility of soup. 478 00:24:05,659 --> 00:24:07,930 I haven't been here long. See? I still have a knife. 479 00:24:08,115 --> 00:24:10,022 - I'm glad to hear it. - So, are you gonna sit? 480 00:24:10,196 --> 00:24:11,672 Yes, of course. 481 00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:20,221 There we go.

Honestly, I'm a little confused. 497 00:25:01,811 --> 00:25:03,242 - About what? - About this. 498 00:25:03,392 --> 00:25:04,948 What's confusing? We're having lunch. 499 00:25:05,099 --> 00:25:07,132 I know, but we don't usually have lunch... 500 00:25:07,306 --> 00:25:09,690 especially not in my town at Luke's Diner. 501 00:25:09,886 --> 00:25:12,555 I figured since you had to work, it would be easier this way. 502 00:25:12,759 --> 00:25:14,950 - Okay. That's fine. - You two ready to order? 503 00:25:15,131 --> 00:25:18,163 Yes.

Very smart. 510 00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:35,143 Make sure you check that frying oil with your face. 511 00:25:36,818 --> 00:25:40,008 - What was that all about? - Nothing. Just a little small-town charm. 512 00:25:40,231 --> 00:25:43,615 Now please, Mom, tell me, why did you ask me to lunch? 513 00:25:43,853 --> 00:25:46,964 Because I wanted to spend some time alone with my daughter. 514 00:25:47,182 --> 00:25:49,737 Rory drops by after school every now and then... 515 00:25:49,929 --> 00:25:51,201 so we see her alone. 516 00:25:51,345 --> 00:25:54,377 But we never see you alone, unless Rory leaves the room for a second. 517 00:25:54,592 --> 00:25:56,182 Even then, you try to go with her. 518 00:25:56,340 --> 00:25:57,737 If I had a nickel for every time... 519 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,548 you've used the "girls go to the bathroom together" line... 520 00:26:00,752 --> 00:26:02,864 - I'd be a rich woman. - You are a rich woman. 521 00:26:03,041 --> 00:26:06,153 Please, is this really a me-and-you lunch? No hidden agenda? 522 00:26:06,372 --> 00:26:07,803 Of course not. 523 00:26:08,328 --> 00:26:10,201 Okay. Fine. 524 00:26:11,491 --> 00:26:13,206 I talked to Christopher. 525 00:26:13,781 --> 00:26:15,529 - What? - I called him last week. 526 00:26:15,696 --> 00:26:17,888 We talked for a long time, and I have to tell you... 527 00:26:18,068 --> 00:26:19,905 - he is not in love with that woman. - Oh, God. 528 00:26:20,024 --> 00:26:22,613 He never actually said it, but I could tell from his voice. 529 00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:24,528 He would much rather be with you and Rory. 530 00:26:24,687 --> 00:26:26,958 - Are you out of your mind? - You need to talk to him. 531 00:26:27,142 --> 00:26:28,255 That would be a yes. 532 00:26:28,392 --> 00:26:30,697 All he needs is to hear that you want this, too. 533 00:26:30,889 --> 00:26:33,273 What the hell are you doing calling Christopher? 534 00:26:33,469 --> 00:26:36,456 - Somebody had to. - No, somebody didn't have to. 535 00:26:36,675 --> 00:26:40,423 I certainly wasn't going to just sit by and watch this situation explode. 536 00:26:40,671 --> 00:26:43,544 You two belong together. It took you years to figure that out. 537 00:26:43,751 --> 00:26:46,215 Now that you finally have it, you can't let it go away... 538 00:26:46,415 --> 00:26:48,243 just because of a little complication. 539 00:26:48,413 --> 00:26:51,478 His girlfriend is pregnant. That is more than a little complication. 540 00:26:51,701 --> 00:26:54,165 Women have gotten pregnant since the beginning of time. 541 00:26:54,366 --> 00:26:57,829 Before I resort to the totally called-for "duh," tell me what your point is. 542 00:26:58,070 --> 00:27:01,261 This woman is trying to trap him.
