LORELAI: Oh, your nephew's coming to visit.
LUKE: No, he's coming to stay.
~~~~~
LORELAI: He doesnât seem like the nicest kid.
RORY: Well, you donât know him.
~~~~~
JESS: Whyâd you call?
RORY: I . . um, I wanted to. . .
JESS: Iâm glad you called.
RORY: Yeah?
JESS: Yeah.
~~~~~
JESS: Okay, so I just go straight and weâll be back at Lukeâs.
RORY: Good sense of direction.
JESS: Of course, I could turn right and then weâd just be driving around in circles for awhile.
RORY: Turn right.
JESS: As you wish.
~~~~~
RORY: I need you to be calm.
LORELAI: Calm about what?
RORY: Calm about what I have to tell you.
LORELAI: What â where are you?
RORY: Iâm all right.
LORELAI: Well, of course youâre all right â why wouldnât you be all right?
RORY: Because. . .I got in an accident.
~~~~~
LORELAI: Why did you bring him here?
LUKE: What?
LORELAI: If you hadnât brought him here, none of this wouldâve happened.
~~~~~
LORELAI: Go to hell!
LUKE: Right back at ya!
~~~~~
JESS: I made sure she was okay.
LUKE: I know you did.
~~~~~
MISS PATTY: I canât believe Luke would send him off like that.
BABETTE: Well, I heard the kid wanted to go. I donât know. All I know is that Jess is gone.
~~~~~
RORY: What?
JESS: I said, why did you come here?
RORY: Well -
JESS: I mean, you ditched school and everything. That's so not you. Why'd you do it?
RORY: Because you didn't say goodbye.
JESS: Oh. Bye, Rory.
RORY: Bye, Jess.
~~~~~
LORELAI: I guess weâll never know until we try.
CHRISTOPHER: So, we try?
LORELAI: Yeah, we try.
~~~~~
CHRISTOPHER: And what do you think about all this?
RORY: I donât know. What exactly are your intentions?
CHRISTOPHER: Excuse me?
RORY: Your intentions â are they honorable?
CHRISTOPHER: Completely honorable.
RORY: Yeah? Because we have been waiting for this for a really long time and we take disappointment extremely hard. I mean it, property damage is often involved.
CHRISTOPHER: Well, I better follow through on this, huh?
RORY: I think thatâs an excellent idea.
~~~~~
CHRISTOPHER: Sherryâs pregnant.
LORELAI: Oh. Oh my.
~~~~~
CHRISTOPHER: I missed it before with Rory. I wasnât there, I wasnât apart of it.
LORELAI: I know.
CHRISTOPHER: And I never forgave myself.

JESS: I moved back.
RORY: But â what â why?
JESS: Just wanted to.
[Rory kisses him]
[End 'La La' Music]
Das ist passiert Und nun der erste Teil:
[CUT TO â Independence Inn - Afternoon]
(SOOKIE and JACKSONâS wedding reception is in full swing, everyoneâs having a great time. Everyone except Lorelai and Rory.)
EMILY: (excited, finishing a mouthful of food.) Oh my god! This cake is amazing. Itâs simply wonderful. Lorelai, have you tried this cake?
LORELAI: (distant) No, mom. I havenât tried the cake.
EMILY: You must! Lorelai, I insist.
LORELAI: Ok, mom.
EMILY: (frustrated) Lorelai? Are you even listening to me?
RICHARD: Maybe she doesnât want to try the cake Emily.
EMILY: Well I think she should. Itâs amazing.
RICHARD: So weâve heard.
EMILY: Have you tried the cake?
RICHARD: No, Emily. I have not.
EMILY: Well, you must!
(EMILY shoves a forkful of cake in RICHARDâS mouth. After a moment he raises an eyebrow.)
RICHARD: My, that is good!
EMILY: I said it was.
RICHARD: So you did.
(LORELAI sits and watches her friends and neighbors dancing and talking happily. She folds her arms across her chest and tries to hold back her tears.)
(RORY and DEAN are standing a few feet away from the makeshift dance floor. RORY has her arms wrapped around herself and DEAN doesnât seem to notice that sheâs distracted.)
DEAN: (hopefully) Do you wannaâ dance?
RORY: (hesitantly) I uh⦠new shoes.
(RORY points to her feet.)
RORY: Not ready for tearing up the dance floor just yet.
DEAN: Ok. Uh⦠do you want something to drink?
RORY: No. Thanks. Iâm fine.
DEAN: You donât seem fine.
RORY: I am though.
DEAN: (unconvinced) Ok. Youâre fine.
RORY: Totally fine.
DEAN: Completely fine.
RORY: (smiling slightly) Could not be more fine.
DEAN: Good.
(RORY stares off across the lawn to where she and JESS kissed only a few hours before. DEAN frowns, realizes that sheâs not fine at all.)
DEAN: I hear Sookie made shortbread.
RORY: (confused, she is pulled from her daydream) Huh?
DEAN: You like shortbread?
RORY: Yes.
DEAN: I can get you some.
(RORY tries to hide her frustration at his pestering and smiles a little.)
RORY: That would be nice.
DEAN: (happily) Iâll be right back.
RORY: Good.
(DEAN hurries off to get RORY some shortbread. RORY visibly deflates, as if sheâs been holding her breath.)
[CUT TO â Gilmore House - Night]
(LORELAI kicks the front door open. And walks inside.)
RORY: (indifferently) You could have gotten your heel stuck in the wood.
LORELAI: (groaning) Donât care.
RORY: We would have been short one front door.
LORELAI: Donât care.
RORY: (raising an eyebrow) People would have been able to see you in your Hello Kitty pajamas.
LORELAI: Donât care.
(Rory and Lorelai collapse in a heap on the couch. LORELAI rests her head on RORYâs shoulder.)
RORY: Great wedding.
LORELAI: The best.
RORY: Great food.
LORELAI: Like you ever doubted it.
RORY: Whereâs dad?
(LORELAI closes her eyes and sighs.)
LORELAI: (sadly) He had to leave.
RORY: (confused) Leave? Why? Heâs coming back, right?
(RORY sits up straight, forcing LORELAI to do the same. LORELAI looks at RORY apologetically.)
LORELAI: Iâm sorry, babe. I wanted him to stay too, butâ¦
RORY: (getting upset) Then why didnât he? He promised! He said weâd be a family.
(RORY gets up and stands in front of LORELAI, her eyes tearing up. LORELAIâs do the same.)
LORELAI: (softly) Heâs got to be someone elseâs dad right now. Sherryâs pregnant.
RORY: But⦠what about us? What about me? Iâm his kid too. Heâs my dad too!
LORELAI: He is.
RORY: He promised!
(RORY starts to cry quietly and LORELAI gets up, wrapping her arms around her.
LORELAI: I know, sweetie. But he couldnât walk away from Sherry. He couldnât miss watching his second baby grow up the way he missed it with you.
(RORY opens her mouth to say something but no sound comes out. She hugs LORELAI tightly. LORELAI closes her eyes and hugs RORY back, wishing she could change things and make it right.)
[CUT TO â Main Street - Morning]
(RORY and LANE are walking and talking.)
LANE: (engrossed in her story) â¦So I told him, itâs not that youâre a bad singer. Itâs that youâre a really bad singer. You are such a bad singer that I want to rip my ears off, roll them up and shove them in the bloody holes that remain, just so I canât hear you!
RORY: (amused) And that was you letting him down gently?
LANE: Yes. Trust me.
RORY: (giggling) Wow. He must have been bad.
LANE: (seriously) He was. He was bad. Very bad. Unbelievably bad.
RORY: My mom bad?
LANE: Worse.
RORY: Wow⦠sheâs going to be so disappointed when I tell her sheâs not the worst singer in the world.
LANE: Sheâs the worst female singer in the world.
RORY: (thoughtfully) That might help.
(RORY stops, wondering where theyâre going.)
RORY: I just realized I have no idea where youâre taking me.
LANE: Iâm not taking you. Youâre accompanying me.
RORY: Ok, where to?
LANE: Lukeâs. My mom is busy yelling at someone about the church decorations. So I figure I have about 30 minutes to have a coffee and a donut, get home brush my teeth, pray, and hope she never realizes that sugar and caffeine entered my body.
RORY: (shaking her head defiantly) I canât go to Lukeâs.
LANE: Funny.
RORY: Serious.
LANE: Not funny.
RORY: Sorry.
LANE: Why? I thought you were ok with your mom and Luke being on not so great terms right nowâ¦
RORY: I am.
LANE: (confused) And soâ¦.
RORY: I canât go to Lukeâsâ¦
LANE: â¦Becauseâ¦
(RORY shifts uncomfortably from one foot to the next. Glancing at the diner and then down at the sidewalk.)
RORY: You know what? Weâll go to Dooseâs and get you a whole box of donuts and then weâll go to my house and get you a whole pot of coffee.
LANE: Dooseâs donuts arenât half as good as Lukeâs.
RORY: Iâm sure any third world country would be grateful for them anyway.
LANE: But Iâm not in a third world country. Iâm in Stars Hollow. Iâve been spoiled. I want nice donuts.
RORY: No, you donât.
LANE: Rory, do you know what I had for breakfast?
RORY: (cringing) Does it start with Tofu?
LANE: Nope, but there was mucho soy involved!
RORY: Iâm sorry.
LANE: Me too. (pouting) I want a donut.
RORY: I want world peace. Itâs not happening today though, and neither is you getting a donut from Lukeâs.
LANE: (giving in) Youâve totally flipped.
RORY: Years ago. Letâs go to Dooseâs.
LANE: (reluctantly) Fine.
(RORY links her arm with LANEâs and they head for Dooseâs Market.)
[CUT TO â Dooseâs Market - Morning]
LANE: You owe me.
RORY: I know.
LANE: If I ever need a liver Iâm taking yours. I donât care if itâs not a match.
RORY: (smiling slightly) Noted.
(RORY and LANE browse to aisles in search of Donuts. DEAN comes up behind them.)
DEAN: Hey!
RORY: (surprised) Dean.
LANE: Hey.
RORY: (making unnecessary excuses) Lane needed a donut. I just came with her. She had soy for breakfast.
DEAN: (amused) Okâ¦
RORY: I owe her my liver.
DEAN: I see.
RORY: (blushing) Hi.
DEAN: (chuckling) Hi.
LANE: Where are the donuts?
DEAN: You donât want them. Trust me. Theyâre all past their expiration dates.
LANE: (frustrated) Why is the world against me and my donut?!
DEAN: Go to Lukeâs. His are better any way.
LANE: Iâm not allowed to go to Lukeâs.
DEAN: (frowning) What did your mom catch you doing this time?
LANE: Nothing. Rory wonât let me.
RORY: Iâ¦
DEAN: Why wonât you let her go to Lukeâs?
RORY: I never said she couldnât go. I just⦠said I wasnât going.
(DEAN looks suspicious and turns to LANE for an explanation.)
LANE: Donât look at me. I just want a donut!
DEAN: Whatâs wrong with Lukeâs?
RORY: Nothing is wrong with Lukeâs.
DEAN: Then why wonât you go there?
RORY: I felt like a change.
DEAN: (raising an eyebrow at her) Youâre afraid of change.
RORY: (sarcastically) Iâm training for Fear Factor.
(DEAN and LANE both look thoroughly confused.)
RORY: (feeling accused) Canât a person⦠Why is it so hard to believe that⦠Iâm going home.
(RORY turns and walks towards the exit. LANE shrugs at DEAN and hurries after her.)
[CUT TO â Main Street â Morning]
(LANE catches up to RORY and falls into step beside her. RORY is walking quickly.)
LANE: Hey⦠slow down Sergeant Major! The troops are working on an empty stomach here.
RORY: You can go to Lukeâs now.
LANE: (breathless) Iâd much rather find out why my best friend has crossed over to the dark side.
RORY: (upset) I donât want to talk about it.
LANE: What âitâ?
RORY: Not âitâ. No âitâ.
LANE: I sense an âitâ.
RORY: Youâre working on an empty stomach, like you said. Your senses are whacked.
LANE: My senses are fine.
(LANE grabs RORY firmly but gently by the arm and spins her around so theyâre facing each other.)
LANE: (determinedly) Spill âitâ.
RORY: (nervously) Not here.
(RORY and LANE continue in the direction of the Gilmoreâs house.)
[CUT TO â Gilmore House â Morning]
(LANE and RORY enter.)
RORY: (calling) Mom? Mom, are you home?
LANE: I thought sheâd be working.
RORY: (sighs) Just checking.
LANE: So⦠can you tell me now?
(RORY pulls LANE into her room and shuts the door.)
RORY: You canât tell anyone.
LANE: I swear.
RORY: And you canât do that bouncy âoh my godâ thing you do.
LANE: (defensively) Iâm a cheerleader.
RORY: Youâre my best friend.
LANE: Ok.
RORY: Jess is back.
LANE: Wow. Heâs insane.
RORY: What?
LANE: He broke you. The whole town wants to break him.
RORY: (remembering) Oh.
LANE: (confused) Why would he come back? He hates us. We hate himâ¦
RORY: I donât hate him.
LANE: You see the good in everyone. Even when there ainât much good to be seen.
RORY: Laneâ¦
LANE: Sorry. Heâs your friend. I respect thatâ¦
RORY: I kissed him.
LANE: (shocked) Ohâ¦
RORY: Donât say it.
LANE: Oh⦠my⦠word?
(RORY rolls her eyes and sits on her bed next to LANE.)
LANE: When did you kiss him? Why did you kiss him? What about Dean? Do you like Jess?
RORY: Too many questions.
LANE: Sorry.
RORY: I kissed him at Sookie and Jacksonâs wedding. I kissed him⦠(sighs) because he⦠I donât know why I kissed him.
LANE: You donât know why?
RORY: No⦠I mean⦠(looking down at her hands) No.
LANE: Not even a little bit of an idea why?
RORY: (frustrated at herself) I donât know. Maybe⦠thereâs a teeny, tiny possibility that I may⦠somehow, in some alternate universe âthe world is distorted beyond recognitionâ way⦠have feelings for him.
LANE: Feelings ofâ¦
RORY: (shrugging) Likeâ¦
LANE: Like like?
(RORY nods.)
LANE: What about Dean? Do you still love him?
RORY: Yes. I⦠think so.
LANE: Do you love Jess?
RORY: No! Nuh uh! No!
LANE: But⦠you kissed himâ¦
RORY: Yeahâ¦
LANE: In a public place. With your boyfriend, that you think you love, in the near vicinity.
RORY: Yeah⦠Maybeâ¦
(RORY looks thoughtful and then flops back on her bed. LANE copies her.)
[CUT TO â Lukeâs Diner â Afternoon]
(LUKE is taking KIRKâs order and JESS is making a fresh post of coffee.)
LUKE: (agitated) Shut up.
KIRK: Are you talking to me?
LUKE: Youâll know when Iâm talking to you, Kirk.
KIRK: You were looking at me.
LUKE: I wasnât.
KIRK: You were looking at my menu.
LUKE: Your menu isnât you.
KIRK: (wounded) It still hurt.
LUKE: Shut up.
KIRK: You were talking to me that time.
LUKE: (sarcastic) Perceptive.
(LUKE turns around and heads for the kitchen.)
JESS: Your customer service skills are outstanding.
LUKE: This coming from the guy who told Andrew to stick his hotdog where the sun doesnât shine just because he asked for mustard?
JESS: I didnât say that.
LUKE: I toned it down.
JESS: It doesnât sound as good without the profanity.
LUKE: You get the idea.
JESS: My point still stands.
LUKE: Your point is?
JESS: I can be rude to any of the freaks that come into this dump. You, on the other hand, run this little slice of hell. Therefore you need to take your customers more seriously if you wish for them to continue to frequent this not so fine establishment.
KIRK: Heâs right.
JESS and LUKE: Shut up, Kirk.
LUKE: You want a black eye?
JESS: Nope.
LUKE: You want a paycheck?
JESS: It sure would make my life complete.
LUKE: Then do some work!
(LUKE walks away and JESS smiles to himself, turning back to making coffee. DEAN enters the Diner and approaches the counter.)
DEAN: Can I get aâ¦
(DEAN stops when JESS turns around.)
JESS: Would you like a childrenâs dictionary with that? It might help you understand the big words on the specials board.
DEAN: (coldly) Jess.
JESS: (mockingly) Bag boy.
DEAN: Youâre back.
JESS: (proudly) Yes I am.
(DEANâs face takes on an expression of realization at why Rory was avoiding the diner. JESS ignores him and goes back to work.)

RORY: (blushing) Hi.
DEAN: (chuckling) Hi.
LANE: Where are the donuts?
DEAN: You donât want them. Trust me. Theyâre all past their expiration dates.
LANE: (frustrated) Why is the world against me and my donut?!
DEAN: Go to Lukeâs. His are better any way.
LANE: Iâm not allowed to go to Lukeâs.
DEAN: (frowning) What did your mom catch you doing this time?
LANE: Nothing. Rory wonât let me.
RORY: Iâ¦
DEAN: Why wonât you let her go to Lukeâs?
RORY: I never said she couldnât go. I just⦠said I wasnât going.
(DEAN looks suspicious and turns to LANE for an explanation.)
LANE: Donât look at me. I just want a donut!
DEAN: Whatâs wrong with Lukeâs?
RORY: Nothing is wrong with Lukeâs.
DEAN: Then why wonât you go there?
RORY: I felt like a change.
DEAN: (raising an eyebrow at her) Youâre afraid of change.
RORY: (sarcastically) Iâm training for Fear Factor.
(DEAN and LANE both look thoroughly confused.)
RORY: (feeling accused) Canât a person⦠Why is it so hard to believe that⦠Iâm going home.
(RORY turns and walks towards the exit. LANE shrugs at DEAN and hurries after her.)
[CUT TO â Main Street â Morning]
(LANE catches up to RORY and falls into step beside her. RORY is walking quickly.)
LANE: Hey⦠slow down Sergeant Major! The troops are working on an empty stomach here.
RORY: You can go to Lukeâs now.
LANE: (breathless) Iâd much rather find out why my best friend has crossed over to the dark side.
RORY: (upset) I donât want to talk about it.
LANE: What âitâ?
RORY: Not âitâ. No âitâ.
LANE: I sense an âitâ.
RORY: Youâre working on an empty stomach, like you said. Your senses are whacked.
LANE: My senses are fine.
(LANE grabs RORY firmly but gently by the arm and spins her around so theyâre facing each other.)
LANE: (determinedly) Spill âitâ.
RORY: (nervously) Not here.
(RORY and LANE continue in the direction of the Gilmoreâs house.)
[CUT TO â Gilmore House â Morning]
(LANE and RORY enter.)
RORY: (calling) Mom? Mom, are you home?
LANE: I thought sheâd be working.
RORY: (sighs) Just checking.
LANE: So⦠can you tell me now?
(RORY pulls LANE into her room and shuts the door.)
RORY: You canât tell anyone.
LANE: I swear.
RORY: And you canât do that bouncy âoh my godâ thing you do.
LANE: (defensively) Iâm a cheerleader.
RORY: Youâre my best friend.
LANE: Ok.
RORY: Jess is back.
LANE: Wow. Heâs insane.
RORY: What?
LANE: He broke you. The whole town wants to break him.
RORY: (remembering) Oh.
LANE: (confused) Why would he come back? He hates us. We hate himâ¦
RORY: I donât hate him.
LANE: You see the good in everyone. Even when there ainât much good to be seen.
RORY: Laneâ¦
LANE: Sorry. Heâs your friend. I respect thatâ¦
RORY: I kissed him.
LANE: (shocked) Ohâ¦
RORY: Donât say it.
LANE: Oh⦠my⦠word?
(RORY rolls her eyes and sits on her bed next to LANE.)
LANE: When did you kiss him? Why did you kiss him? What about Dean? Do you like Jess?
RORY: Too many questions.
LANE: Sorry.
RORY: I kissed him at Sookie and Jacksonâs wedding. I kissed him⦠(sighs) because he⦠I donât know why I kissed him.
LANE: You donât know why?
RORY: No⦠I mean⦠(looking down at her hands) No.
LANE: Not even a little bit of an idea why?
RORY: (frustrated at herself) I donât know. Maybe⦠thereâs a teeny, tiny possibility that I may⦠somehow, in some alternate universe âthe world is distorted beyond recognitionâ way⦠have feelings for him.
LANE: Feelings ofâ¦
RORY: (shrugging) Likeâ¦
LANE: Like like?
(RORY nods.)
LANE: What about Dean? Do you still love him?
RORY: Yes. I⦠think so.
LANE: Do you love Jess?
RORY: No! Nuh uh! No!
LANE: But⦠you kissed himâ¦
RORY: Yeahâ¦
LANE: In a public place. With your boyfriend, that you think you love, in the near vicinity.
RORY: Yeah⦠Maybeâ¦
(RORY looks thoughtful and then flops back on her bed. LANE copies her.)
[CUT TO â Lukeâs Diner â Afternoon]
(LUKE is taking KIRKâs order and JESS is making a fresh post of coffee.)
LUKE: (agitated) Shut up.
KIRK: Are you talking to me?
LUKE: Youâll know when Iâm talking to you, Kirk.
KIRK: You were looking at me.
LUKE: I wasnât.
KIRK: You were looking at my menu.
LUKE: Your menu isnât you.
KIRK: (wounded) It still hurt.
LUKE: Shut up.
KIRK: You were talking to me that time.
LUKE: (sarcastic) Perceptive.
(LUKE turns around and heads for the kitchen.)
JESS: Your customer service skills are outstanding.
LUKE: This coming from the guy who told Andrew to stick his hotdog where the sun doesnât shine just because he asked for mustard?
JESS: I didnât say that.
LUKE: I toned it down.
JESS: It doesnât sound as good without the profanity.
LUKE: You get the idea.
JESS: My point still stands.
LUKE: Your point is?
JESS: I can be rude to any of the freaks that come into this dump. You, on the other hand, run this little slice of hell. Therefore you need to take your customers more seriously if you wish for them to continue to frequent this not so fine establishment.
KIRK: Heâs right.
JESS and LUKE: Shut up, Kirk.
LUKE: You want a black eye?
JESS: Nope.
LUKE: You want a paycheck?
JESS: It sure would make my life complete.
LUKE: Then do some work!
(LUKE walks away and JESS smiles to himself, turning back to making coffee. DEAN enters the Diner and approaches the counter.)
DEAN: Can I get aâ¦
(DEAN stops when JESS turns around.)
JESS: Would you like a childrenâs dictionary with that? It might help you understand the big words on the specials board.
DEAN: (coldly) Jess.
JESS: (mockingly) Bag boy.
DEAN: Youâre back.
JESS: (proudly) Yes I am.
(DEANâs face takes on an expression of realization at why Rory was avoiding the diner. JESS ignores him and goes back to work.)
We' ll never understand... [SIZE=2]but we love it![/SIZE]

Doug: Oh ja, ich liebe die Art wie wir uns gute Nacht sagen! Als wären wir Briten- aber auf eine gute Art!
