[CUT TO – Gilmore House – Evening]


(RORY is sprawled out on the couch holding a small battery powered fan up to her face.)

RORY: (groaning) Mommy!

LORELAI: (OS) I’m coming.

RORY: Mommy!

(LORELAI enters the living room carrying two glasses of ice water. She hands one to RORY.)

LORELAI: Here…

RORY: I love you.

LORELAI: (sarcastically) Nice to know it’s unconditional.

RORY: Not in this heat.

(LORELAI chuckles and sits on the coffee table, drinking her water.
The phone starts to ring and neither of them make a move for it, the answer machine picks up.)

CHRIS: (phone) Lore? Rory? (he sighs) Please… pick up.

(RORY and LORELAI look at each other. RORY rests back on the couch closing her eyes and running her cold glass across her forehead. LORELAI doesn’t get up.)

CHRIS: (phone) I’m sorry. I didn’t plan on this. Can you please… call me back or… pick up next time I call. Please don’t just cut me off…

(CHRIS hangs up and LORELAI sighs.)

LORELAI: Persistent as ever.

RORY: I’m not ready to talk to him yet.

LORELAI: Me either.

RORY: So…

LORELAI: We don’t.

(RORY nods and closes her eyes again, thinking of someone else she’s not ready to talk to.)


[CUT TO – Independence Inn – Morning]


(SOOKIE is putting the finishing touches on a cake. LORELAI is sitting on a stool watching, sipping her coffee.)

SOOKIE: Did I tell you about the terrible waiter at the hotel we stayed at?

LORELAI: Yeah, hun, you did.

SOOKIE: He was terrible.

LORELAI: Which is why he has been immortalized as ‘terrible waiter’.

SOOKIE: Did I tell you about the boat trip with the lobsters?

LORELAI: Yeah.

SOOKIE: (excited) Did I show you the…

LORELAI: The pictures were beautiful.

SOOKIE: (sadly) I think I exhausted every detail of my honeymoon.

LORELAI: I think so too.

SOOKIE: I only got back yesterday.

LORELAI: (sympathetically) I know.

(MICHEL walks in holding the phone at arms length as if it has a disease.)

MICHEL: It’s that horrible Barker man. The one with the dandruff.

LORELAI: (cringing) You know… you can’t get it over the phone.

MICHEL: I’m not taking any chances.

LORELAI: Tell him I’m in a meeting.

MICHEL: You want me to lie?

LORELAI: It’s in your job description.

MICHEL: I saw no such thing in my job description.

LORELAI: Huh… (sarcastically) well then, since you do it constantly anyway, I guess I should be paying you extra.

MICHEL: You are the only one who finds you amusing.

SOOKIE: And me. (raises hand)

LORELAI: And her.

MICHEL: So, dandruff isn’t contagious but apparently insanity is.

LORELAI: We love you too Michel.

MICHEL: Your ex husband called.

LORELAI: (rolling her eyes) He’s not my ex husband.

MICHEL: Fine… your ex partner with whom you conceived a child out side of holy wedlock.

LORELAI: Much better.

MICHEL: He left messages.

(MICHEL hands Lorelai a post-it pad half full of messages from CHRIS.)

LORELAI: (sighs) Today is the day you choose to actually do your job?

(MICHEL smiles smugly and leaves the kitchen.)


[CUT TO – Main Steet – Morning]


(RORY is walking towards Doose’s looking at the back of a book she just bought. JESS is walking out of Doose’s trying to open the cigarettes he just bought.
They collide.)

JESS: Sorry.

RORY: (nervously) Me too. Sorry I mean. I’m sorry.

JESS: (amused by how flustered she seems) Apology accepted.

RORY: Good. That’s good. (she sees the cigarettes and frowns) You’re smoking?

JESS: (raises an eyebrow at her) You care?

RORY: I…

JESS: You…?

RORY: I… (she doesn’t know what to say)

JESS: Ok then.

(JESS starts to walk away. RORY turns and hurries after him.)

RORY: Jess?

JESS: Rory.

RORY: Um… about the… at the wedding.

JESS: I wondered when that would come up. (he smirks) I guess I owe myself $10.

RORY: What?

JESS: I bet myself it’d take you at least a week to mention it. It’s only been 5 days. I lose.

RORY: (embarrassed) Oh.

JESS: So… about the… at the wedding…

RORY: Um..,

JESS: I haven’t told anyone. If that’s what you want to know.

RORY: No, I… I’m glad but that’s not why I…

JESS: Glad?

RORY: I didn’t mean…

JESS: You never do.

RORY: Jess…

JESS: I get that you’re still very much in love with Ken doll.

RORY: He’s not…

JESS: Just like I get that you kissing me…

RORY: (looking around nervously) Jess!

JESS: …Was one of those spontaneous, impulsive, spur of the moment things that you never usually allow yourself to do.

(RORY looks at him, just listening to him. Knowing he’s telling the truth and that the truth hurts.)

JESS: I get it, Rory. So you can save your over rehearsed explanations for someone else.

RORY: I’m sorry.

JESS: Yeah, I got that too.

(JESS turns and walks away and this time RORY just watches him go. DEAN stands just outside Doose’s, watching. Unnoticed by both of them.)


[CUT TO – Gilmore Manor – Evening]


(LORELAI takes a deep breath and stares at the front door determinedly. RORY stands beside her, waiting for her to knock in it.)

LORELAI: (defiantly) No.

(LORELAI turns and hurries back to the jeep. RORY grabs her and pulls her back to the door.)

RORY: (reassuringly) I’ll be there, it’ll be ok.

LORELAI: Haha! Yeah. I’ll say ‘Mom, dad, Christopher’s gone.’ And they’ll say (imitating Emily and Richard) ‘Why Lorelai? Why? What did you do this time? Why? Poor Rory. Why Lorelai? Why?’

(RORY rolls her eyes and knocks on the door.)

RORY: You’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

LORELAI: You’re making rabbit droppings out of a big pile of Elephant cr…

(EMILY opens the door.)

LORELAI: Hey mom!

EMILY: Hello girls. Come in.

(LORELAI pouts at RORY and they step inside, taking off their coats.)

RORY: Hey grandma.

EMILY: (frowning) Where’s Christopher?

LORELAI: (looking behind her and faking shock) We forgot him again?

RORY: (rolling her eyes) Mom…

LORELAI: Damn… I knew there was something.

EMILY: Lorelai, what are you doing?

LORELAI: It was a … joke, mom. (desperate) Can I please have a drink now?

EMILY: (confused) What on earth is wrong with you?

LORELAI: I have a healthy appetite for the liquor.

EMILY: Lorelai…

LORELAI: So, what’s for dinner.

EMILY: Rory, what is wrong with your mother?

RORY: She’s going through an emotional crisis.

EMILY: She’s what?

LORELAI: I really would like that drink right about now.

(RICHARD comes down the stairs and takes off his glasses.)

RICHARD: Good evening Lorelai, Rory.

LORELAI: Hey dad.

RORY: Hey Grandpa.

RICHARD: Well… what are we all doing standing in the foyer? Lorelai, would you like a drink?

LORELAI: (sweetly) I love you daddy.

RICHARD: (confused) Emily…?

EMILY: (irritated) Don’t ask.

(EMILY rolls her eyes and waves the situation away with her hand. RICHARD, RORY and LORELAI follow her into the living room.)

RICHARD: Rory, how’s school.

RORY: Oh, schools out for the summer.

LORELAI: (singing) Schoooools out forever!

(Everyone looks at her as if she’s insane.)

LORELAI: Dad, where’s that drink.

RICHARD: Are you sure you haven’t been drinking?

RORY: She hasn’t.

EMILY: You never answered my question. Where is Christopher.

(LORELAI and RORY exchange glances.)

RORY: Well…

LORELAI: He had to go back to Boston…

RICHARD: Of course. He has things to take care of before he moves.

EMILY: (realizing) Oh, of course. Oh well… we’ll see him next time…

LORELAI: There won’t be a next time. Not… soon anyway.

EMILY: (confused) What are you saying, Lorelai?

LORELAI: He went back to his girlfriend.

EMILY: Why on earth would he do that?!

LORELAI: Because… he had some things to work out with her.

RICHARD: What sort of things?

LORELAI: Personal things.

EMILY: What personal things? Lorelai, this isn’t something you should keep from us. We’re your parents. We’re the grandparents of the child that you and Christopher had together.

LORELAI: Her name is Rory.

EMILY: Lorelai, don’t try and change the subject.

RORY: Grandma…

EMILY: Why did he go back to his girlfriend? What possible reason did he have to choose her over his family?

LORELAI: Because she’s pregnant. Ok? They’re starting a new family.

RICHARD: I don’t believe this.

(RORY looks at LORELAI. LORELAI looks at the floor. EMILY and RICHARD stare at each other in shock.)


[CUT TO – Luke’s Diner – Evening]


(LUKE is wiping down the counter. He stops and puts some menus in a holder. JESS comes down from the apartment, pulling on his jacket.)

LUKE: Where are you going?

JESS: (mockingly) Horseback riding.

LUKE: Don’t fall and break your neck. That would be a complete tragedy.

JESS: (with his hand on his heart as he backs to the door) Promise me you’ll cry.

LUKE: I’ll be all torn up inside.

(JESS leaves the diner.)


[CUT TO – Main Street – Evening]


(JESS lights a cigarette. DEAN comes up behind him.)

JESS: Gosh darn it! Can’t a guy enjoy a smoke?

DEAN: Cut the crap.

JESS: There’s that small town hostility I love. Or was it hospitality. (thoughtfully) Nope… I think it’s hostility.

DEAN: Why’d you come back, Jess?

JESS: I missed you, Dean. How’s a guy supposed to just let you go? We came so close…

DEAN: I told you to cut the crap.

JESS: I’m sorry. My name isn’t Rory so I don’t see why I should take orders from you.

DEAN: Why did you come back here?

JESS: Last time I checked, what I did was none of your business. Unless you’re stalking me instead of your girlfriend now?

DEAN: It’s not stalking if they want you around.

JESS: Exactly. So go stalk Rory.

(JESS starts to walk away.)

DEAN: She might not see through you but I do.

JESS: Oh boy…

DEAN: Stay away from her. You’ve done enough damage already.

JESS: Go back to your cartoons, bag boy.

(JESS walks away. DEAN glares at his back until he can’t see him anymore.)


[CUT TO – Gilmore House – Night]


(LORELAI gets out of the jeep. She looks tired and drained. RORY doesn’t look any better.)

LORELAI: Home sweet home.

RORY: Let’s never leave it again. No good comes from leaving home!

LORELAI: Sounds like a plan to me.

RORY: Maybe it didn’t go so bad…

LORELAI: Yeah… I expected far more screaming.

RORY: Screaming was minimal, I thought.

LORELAI: Yeah.

RORY: (naively) So… tonight wasn’t that bad?

(LORELAI wraps her arm around RORY as they walk onto the porch.)

LORELAI: No, kid. It wasn’t.
