Example: Maxproposedto

Lorelai with a thousand yellow

daises.

MAX: Don't say anything,

okay, please. You were right

last night. I shouldn't have

proposed to you like that. It was stupid. It was the wrong place, and the

wrong time, and I kicked myself the entire night for doing it. But you

were wrong about something too. I didn't propose to you because we

were fighting. I proposed because I love you. We're in a bad pattern

Lorelai and we have to break it. And other than that murder suicide thing

you were talking about, which would be illegal and messy, I can only

think to be impetuous.

MAX: No, listen, I woke up this morning and I realized that I have

studied and talked a great literature all my life and those stories are

replete with characters that let opportunities slip by. But what I teach is

more than just literature, its lessons in life. And if I don't follow the

tenants of those lessons, I'm not the man I thought I was. The man I

want to be.

Turned out to be a guy playing

musical drinking glasses. You know,

with the half-filled cups that give off

Blue Eyes. "Yes," he says. "It's like

Frank come to life." We go in, sit

TAYLOR: A local historian uncovered new evidence of Star's Hollow's

participation in the Revolution. Apparently, an English battalion was awaiting the

return of their commanding general with plans for a big battle. Our soldiers caught

wind of this and blocked the

high road so that the general

had to travel by the lowerroad, through town, to reach

his troops.

LUKE: So, they kidnapped

him.

TAYLOR: No, they were

much slyer than that. They

had a brave lady of the town

use her wiles to draw the

general to her rooms and keep

him occupied. That delayed the general's arrival which allowed Lafayette the

opportunity to ambush the waiting British troops.

CRAIG: This simple, common woman whose livelihood defied laws of morality

but acting in a fashion which God would forgive her, led the British general to the

warmth of her boudoir. She saved Stars Hollow.

Not a bad sight-reader either.

I can sneak-in and give it a nice herb-bitter rub and stuff it with a pancetta-chestnut

stuffing.

Yeah, deep-fryings kind of in now.

LORELAI: Hey!

LUKE: Okay. Call you later.

LORELAI: Did you not hear me screaming?

LUKE: I was on the phone. Why were you screaming?

LORELAI: There's a spider in the shower. I trapped him under a soap dish. I need you to go in

and get him and take him outside.

LUKE [grabs a piece of paper]: Right.

LORELAI: Scoop him up gently, you do not want to break one of his little legs. Spiders are all

about their legs. I was shampooing, everything was fine, I looked up and there he was!LUKE [rushes out of the bathroom]: Holy mackerel!

LORELAI: Yeah! He's a big boy! Don't hurt him.

LUKE [grabs a bigger piece of paper and heads back in]: I won't.

morning long, and then order

two iced teas to go, and that

When did that becomeacceptable? In the old days, a

woman would never consider

doing that in public. Theyd go find a barn or a cave or something. I mean, its

indecent. This is a diner not a peep show!

Well, youve gotta think about these things.

Well, you know, I only saw this guy once for like ten minutes and the lighting was

only so-so and I hadnt eaten anything, and, like, what if Im remembering him alot cuter than he was?

Yeah, but what if I am? You know how these things are. You get bored, you need a

diversion, so you superimpose a really cute guys face over a really scary looking

guy.

Next up why, that looks like a Dooses market basket. Nice, huh?

Okay, see, you boys don't seem to understand the way this thing works.

RORY: Oh, please!

LORELAI: I'm not. i'm just -- okay, maybe i am.

RORY: Ha!

LORELAI: I wasn't planning on it, but maybe in the back of my mind, I just thought -

RORY: - Say goodbye to Daisy Miller.

LORELAI: Okay, fine, so maybe i suggested the trip to give you some time to --RORY: Travel back to the turn of the century?

LORELAI: To think -- but you did not have to accept.

RORY: I did too.

LORELAI: No, Rory, you didn't.

You're 19 now, remember? You're

all Grown Up, and you can handle

your own affairs. Sorry. That's a

bad choice of words. You can

handle your own life events, so if

at the local bar where I regularly stop on my way home to get drop dead drunk, and

say, I helped him get there.

most of that time. Along with Michel, we plan to make this community as proud of

the historic Dragonfly Inn as you were when the same team was running theIndependence Inn.

TAYLOR: You mean the place that burned down on your watch?

LORELAI: We wait. So why didn't you tell me you were getting your hair cut?

KIRK: And since you two have reconciled, it's only appropriate that the

RORY: Travel back to the turn of the century?

LORELAI: To think -- but you did not have to accept.RORY: I did too.

LORELAI: No, Rory, you didn't. You're 19 now, remember? You're all grown up, and

you can handle your own affairs. Sorry. That's a bad choice of words. You can handle

your own life events, so if you didn't want to go to Europe, all you had to do was say you

didn't want to go, but you didn't, so I assume you do want to go. [sees Rory's expression]

You do want to go? How come? I mean, what about Dean? You're just gonna go off and

leave now?

Sookie: I mean, lunch is my thing. Why do we have to get rid of one of my things?

Why cant we get rid of one of Michels things?

Michel: What things? I stand behind a desk and answer a phone. What of mine can

you possibly get rid of?

DOYLE: So, some day when Im running the circulation desk at the Muncie

Messenger and Glenn his accepting his Pulitzer Prize, I can point up at the screen

at the local bar where I regularly stop on my way home to get drop dead drunk, and

say, I helped him get there.

LORELAI: And opening this inn has been a dream of mine and of Sookie's for

most of that time. Along with Michel, we plan to make this community as proud of

the historic Dragonfly Inn as you were when the same team was running the

Independence Inn.

TAYLOR: You mean the place that burned down on your watch?

LORELAI: We wait. So why didn't you tell me you were getting your hair cut?

KIRK: And since you two have reconciled, it's only appropriate that the

citizens of Stars Hollow take off their pins and start to heal.

LULU: No, Kirk! I like my ribbon! It's pink! I like pink!

KIRK: This is bigger than your love of pink!

In my case, literally. I caught about an inch of chest-flesh with this sharp little sucker.

And if it was physically possible to make love to a hot

beverage, this would be the one.

Whoa! Oh, I've never seen the cereal completely full before. I'm never here early enough!

I knew they had Cocoa Puffs.

Ribbons here! Return your ribbons here!

That was not a snore. That was a groan.

It was not a painful play.

You're wearing sunglasses inside?

That's a very negative way of looking at it.

Oh, okay, thanks. That's enough there. Just make sure you get the stairs now.

The point of this is to get crap out of here, not to trade it in for new crap.

A big furry purple thing that could be either a hat, a toilet paper cover or some kind

of dirty hand puppet.

I think Luke did and judging by his very hostile reaction he obviously wasnt done

wearing it yet.

Ok, just checking. Hey, Im starving, is it pizza time yet?

They were so thrilled with the volcano wedding cake that they wanted to do

something nice for me and since Mr. Birnbaum runs a ticket agency and I knew

you were dying to so, so I asked him if he could...

Im sorry, Im looking but there is nothing in here.

Ok, but I have to explain something first.

Ok, so rummage sales Sunday, today is Tuesday. At this rate, we are going to be

sleeping in the yard by Thursday. We have got to start getting some of this stuff

out of the living room.

The red and black halter top?

Its got rhinestones and zebra stripes on it.

Page 17

I usually wind up re-making the bed after the maid makes it because she made it wrong in

the first place.

Yeah. Remember Don? He came for a couple days, tops, once. Six weeks later he's still

here. Ate all my Cheese Nips. But when I confronted him with the box, he said they were

just settling. Dude had Cheese Nip breath as he told me they were just settling.

Bring me a donut while I wait?

I'm not going to be back until Tuesday, so you're going to have to deal with Alla

Hadengrow yourself. I will leave you the check.

Oh, yes it is. It is not lost on me that the burgers with my world-famous rub are almost

gone, while your butter burgers are still sitting there on the plate.

I already have the other two samples. This is my last stop. I go to the lab tomorrow and

the fair's on the sixteenth. And, if I win, there's going to be a banquet on the eighteenth,

and you get to choose any two kinds of spaghetti that you want. There's going to be at

least ten options, though I know what I'm getting. Split order. Half mushroom, half

Myzithra cheese.

I am more than willing.

This is painful.

He could have been a little more diplomatic.

Yeah, Mom, Yale is broadening her world view.

Digger was in his element.

You mean Jason was in his element.

Fine work, Rory. The Yale Daily News is lucky to have you.

The slot machines were talking to you, Mom? Are you sure it wasn't just you?

I'm being discriminated against. Go, enjoy.

I'm being attacked by green things!

Page 19

Dad is going after Jason, and...it's complicated but it's really bad. And I went over there to try to

talk to him about it, and he was horrible.

Or maybe Dad will be fine, and Emily will be on the attack. Yeah, a little good cop/bad cop if

you know what I mean. Keep me on my toes. I won't be expecting that.

Well, reading is good for you. You learn things.

Cheesecake would be good with the meatball explosion.

Tip her well when she waits on you at Luke's. Head over to the church with her, share a pew.

All we needed was a swimming pool and some ball gowns to really end the evening right.

The real one won't have the sandwich on it.

Is it really necessary?

Is what really necessary?

Mom, it's really important to me that you don't back out of Friday night dinners. They're the only

time that the whole family gets together. Sometimes it's the only time that I get to see you, and I

like having it there. It's really important to me.

Anyhow, Mrs. Wright invites this whole posse of people over for dinner and theyre all sitting

around eating, and Mr. Disgruntled Servant Guy goes outside and locks all the doors and

windows and douses the whole house in gasoline and sets the place on fire.

All Im saying is sometimes eating a walnut is preferable to getting hacked to death or set on fire

during dinner.

The date was set, invitations mailed out.

Why are you sitting over there?

Thank you. See, its nice sitting at the grown-up table, isnt it?

Its gonna need some glue if you dont sit down pretty soon.

Its time to lay down a few ground rules, sit. All right, first off, when she is up here, that door

stays open.

Hello, Blaine! Yes, you were about to explain to me the reason you

once again raised our premium here.

Not the dog Paul Anka, the real Paul Anka.

Or you could just run on the bus, that's really good too.
