Programma Televisivo: Gilmore Girls - 5x19
Founder's Day punch?
Abba Zabbas.
Good morning Vietnam!
How's everyone feeling today?
Terrific!
Okay, I got tacos, hard tacos, I got soft tacos, I got fries, curly, straight, and spicy - Are you serious?
Trust me.
It's the best hangover food on the east coast.
You get a Mars bar?
You know, hare to the dog?
Ah, there's pop tarts in the cabinet, Kirk.
Coffee'll be up in a minute, grab some water and start hydrating!
The smell of these tacos is making me nauseous.
No, no, no.
That's the quart of Patty's non-FDA-approved Founder's Day punch you drank last night.
Eat a taco.
Oh, thank God, hangover food.
That's my little college girl.
Tito's was open this early?
Well, it was for me.
The power you have over fast food owners is astonishing.
Oh, God.
I think I'm going to throw up.
No.
I'm good.
By the way, thanks for leaving me on the bathroom floor all night.
Uh, hey, I tried to get you up.
You actually used your foot to stop me.
I did?
Yes.
It was very House of Flying Daggers, but with vomiting.
Sorry.
I don't remember that.
The foot part.
The vomiting part, however - Stop saying the word 'vomiting'.
Unless you want a Mr.
Creosote situation on your hands here.
Oh, man.
I think I got a cavity.
I got to stop partying like this.
What are you looking for?
My book bag.
I believe it's in your room.
Room?
That way.
Right.
Hey.
I got you a beef burrito.
I thought it might be too hardcore for the amateurs in the kitchen, but I figured you'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
So, how are you feeling?
I've been better.
Yeah.
You take aspirin?
Aspirin?
White pill, big 'A' on it.
Right, yep.
Oh, here, before I forget.
Um, this fell out of your pocket last night while you were pulling an Exorcist.
Mm.
Paris gave it to me to hold so she wouldn't call Doyle.
She was the talk of the town this morning.
Attacked the pretzel cart, police backup had to be called for the first time ever.
She was quite a mess.
So apparently it was a theme.
I am sorry.
It won't happen again, believe me.
You, of all people, should know the dangers of the Founder's Day punch.
Did you learn nothing from Mommy's Coyote Ugly bar dance at last year's Salute to the Quakers festival?
Oh, now, you can't blame that all on the punch.
Well, don't get me wrong, I'm always up for a little mother-daughter bonding, but seriously.
When did facials go out of style?
I'm sorry.
I just don't like seeing you like that.
That makes two of us.
So, what was all that stuff you were babbling on about last night?
What stuff?
About Logan.
Things aren't going so well with the two of you, huh?
I'm going to get some coffee.
Rory.
I know.
Kitchen, that way.
Well, this is a surprise.
Can I come in?
Sure.
You want to sit down?
Nope.
Got to stay vertical.
What?
You have, like, an octagon imprinted on your face.
I can't do this anymore Logan.
Do what?
This casual dating thing.
I don't like it.
It's not who I am and I don't want to make it who I am.
Whoa, hold on here.
Where's this coming from?
It's coming from me.
The ravishing creature standing in front of you.
We talked about this.
I know.
I didn't make you do this.
I know.
I'm not accusing you of anything.
This isn't your fault.
I don't understand.
I thought everything was going so well.
What are you talking about?
I haven't heard from you in a week.
I was busy.
I had some friends in town, and - You know what?
It doesn't matter.
You're not my boyfriend, you don't owe me any explanations.
I just don't want to be one of the many anymore.
Oh, Rory, come on!
Hey, Logan, Cassandra's on the phone.
Take a message.
She's got a great accent.
Where's she from?
Lanny!
Message!
Fine.
Relax, man.
Geez.
Go call Cassandra back.
We're done here.
How are we done here?
I said everything I have to say.
Which is what?
I'm a girlfriend girl, Logan.
I have boyfriends, not escorts.
Ah.
I thought I could be different, but I can't.
I'm sorry.
Maybe we can just go back to being friends again.
Or maybe we can become boyfriend and girlfriend, right?
What?
I get it.
I get what you're doing.
I'm not doing anything.
Hey, if that's what you want then just come out and say it.
But you coming in here and issuing an ultimatum - I am not issuing an ultimatum!
That's not what I heard.
I said let's be friends!
That's not what you meant!
I need a taco!
All right, fine.
I'll do it.
Do what?
I'll be your boyfriend.
You can't be my boyfriend.
Why not?
Because you told me that you can't be my boyfriend.
If I say I can, then I can.
You have a hundred girls on speed dial.
You keep a second bathrobe in your closet for overnight guests.
That's all beside the point.
You came in here to say you were unhappy with the situation, right?
Right.
Fine.
I've rectified the situation.
Problem solved.
No.
Problem not solved.
Hey.
If I say I can do this, I can do this!
Hey Logan.
Thought maybe I could get you to buy me some lunch.
Oh, geez - I'm sorry.
Could you excuse us for just a second?
We're almost done here.
Sure.
I'll just wait out here.
So the Swedish flight attendants should be here any minute.
I swear this situation has never happened to me before in my life.
Logan - Rory.
Do you really want to stop seeing me?
No, but I can't - 'Cause I don't want to stop seeing you.
Okay, but - So then just accept what I'm saying.
I like trying new things.
It's new, it's different, but I can do it.
Are you sure?
Well, I know you can do that, but - I really want to believe you.
Then believe me.
We're starting fresh right now, new beginning.
So you want to go grab some lunch?
We'll hammer out the details.
I should probably change first.
Go home, change.
I'll pick you up in half an hour.
Okay.
See how good this is going so far?
I think I'm going to be an excellent boyfriend.
I agree.
Now do you want to go tell her, or should I?
Oh, crap.
I'll be right back.
Doyle?
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I'm dying.
What do you mean, you're dying?
I got sick.
And then my very concerned roommates kicked me out because they have exams.
Oh my God.
I didn't know where to go, so I came here.
I called you first.
I was gone this weekend.
So I just came by.
I thought I'd wait till you got back, then I fell asleep.
You've been here all weekend?
I thought you were avoiding me.
I'm sorry you're sick.
It feels like bees are buzzing in my head.
Feel it.
What?
Feel my head.
Why?
I just want you to know how hot I am.
Well, when you're hot, you're hot and when you're not, you're not.
That's how the song goes.
Just follow the song.
What?
I just don't see what putting my hand on your head is going to get you.
It's just - I'm not a shaman, Doyle.
I don't have healing powers.
Where are you going?
I'll be right back.
Hold on a second.
It's for you.
It's Sookie.
She's done with her doctor's appointment.
Oh, she say how she is?
Mm, to someone who may have asked her, I'm sure she would have.
Mm-hm.
Hey, Sookie.
The bastard put me on bed rest.
What?
Dr.
Menck.
He told me to lie down immediately and not to get up again until little Cherry or Norric comes out.
Oh.
Well, we'll get to the names in a second.
So, are you serious about the bed rest?
Where are you?
I'm at home, on the couch!
Are you okay?
No, I'm not okay!
I have a dinner to get out.
Well, honey, I think we're going to have to do that without you.
But how?
Well, we have a kitchen staff, and you just tell me what still needs to be done, and we will handle it.
Okay.
Get a pencil.
Okay.
Pencil in hand.
You need to grate six carrots and four parsnips, and then take some flour and butter, melt the butter, make a roux.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What?
Uh, baby, you lost me at carrots.
Which, uh, by the way, was the first draft of 'you had me at hello'.
You had me at what?
What are you talking about?
Oh, sorry.
I see we've entered the no humor zone.
Look, just relax.
I'm going to take care of everything.
But the ducks.
The ducks will be fine.
They're lying in a pan with their heads chopped off, so the worst part is behind them.
Now, don't worry.
Go rest, and I'll check in with you later.
But - Happy hibernating!
No Sookie?
No Sookie.
Come on.
Okay, now tell me who does what, and what we need to keep things running.
Well, we need Sookie here.
Okay.
Well, she's not going to be here, so let's go to plan B.
Okay, plan B.
That involves Sookie's clone, also named Sookie.
Well, um, who here makes the sauces?
Sookie.
Who here, Michel?
Sookie trusts no one else with the sauces.
She makes the sauces.
Well, what does Mark make?
Salads.
Okay, and Donny does desserts.
What do our other guys do?
Well, that man over there does the cleaning.
That man over there dresses the plates, that man uses tongs, and I have no idea what that man in the corner does.
But I would check his trunk before he leaves.
Without Sookie here, we have salads and desserts?
Pretty much.
We can't run a restaurant serving just salads and desserts!
I would not go to eat, no.
Wait, okay.
Here we have duck.
Um, who here does the duck?
Nobody touches the ducks.
Well, starting now, someone has to touch the ducks!
I do not know what to tell you, except that it will not be me.
This is bad, Michel.
I'm getting that, yes.
Well, we'll just figure something out, right?
Absolutely.
Ain't no mountain high enough.
We'll just, um, formulate a plan, nail down a strategy.
You have any ideas?
We could order some pizza, or Chinese food, or perhaps one of those hoagies that you cut into a million pieces - No more suggestions necessary, Michel.
Well, I'm here if you need me.
Luke's!
How pretty do you think I am?
Are we using a specific day?
Have you had a good night's sleep?
Sookie's doctor put her on immediate bed rest, and I thought it would be fine, but no one will touch the ducks, and Michel wants to order a hoagie, and I am starting to hyperventilate and I'm not wearing a stretchy fabric, and - I'll be right there.
How's that headache of yours?
Subsiding a little.
The mashed potato, mac and cheese, biscuit, gravy plate combo really helped a lot.
I have to say, half the fun in being with you is the horrified looks on the waiters' faces.
Please.
I'm an amateur compared to my mother.
So what do you think?
You up for a movie?
Oh, yeah.
Something really bad.
Absolutely.
Let's check the paper and see if Rob Schneider's still employable.
I think I have a paper over - Well!
Look how long you make a girl wait for you!
Honor!
Do you really think you're worth it?
What are you doing here?
Apparently begging for some affection!
It is so good to see you.
You too!
Listen, Logan.
Maybe I should go.
What?
Oh, sorry, God.
Rory, this is my sister Honor.
Honor, Rory Gilmore.
Sister?
Really?
Oh.
Well, it's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you too.
Hey, your sister's here.
Cool.
So, what's the occasion?
Well, I had to see you, and since you never check your email I had to drag myself down and beg Lanny to let me in so I could show you this!
Holy!
It happened last night!
Oh, Josh finally gave in, uh?
Oh, stop it.
He's lucky I ever looked at him in the first place.
Well, congratulations.
Listen.
I need a favor.
I'm going to tell them tomorrow night at dinner and I need you there for support.
Come on.
Hey.
I backed you up when you wanted to take a year off school and sail around the world.
I wired you the money when you sunk the yacht.
I helped pay off the Indonesian Coast Guard!
Okay, okay!
I'll be there.
Oh, thank you!
I love you, I love you, I love you.
Okay.
Now I can breathe.
And focus on - you.
Hi.
Hi.
Okay, I'm totally blanking.
Your name is?
Rory.
Rory Gilmore.
Yeah, Rory's my...
girlfriend.
You okay over there?
You need a little water, or a time machine?
I'm sorry, did you say girlfriend?
Yes.
It's new.
Oh, my God!
I've never heard him call anyone his girlfriend before.
Well, Alyssa Milano, but he was ten and in a weird Who's the Boss phase.
Oh, wow, time flies when you're getting pushed out the door.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Listen, you must come to dinner too.
Oh, um - No.
Really, come.
Please come.
It'll make it more festive and distracting.
We'll see.
Okay, fine.
I have to go.
I'll see you tomorrow night.
Please don't be late?
I promise.
Bye, Rory.
Bye!
And that is my sister.
I like her!
Yeah, she's cool!
Listen, you do not have to take me to dinner tomorrow.
It's a family thing, I totally understand.
No, you should come.
Logan.
Hey.
Boyfriends bring their girlfriends to their family's houses for dinner.
It's natural.
How would you know?
I saw it on Who's the Boss.
Now, let's find that paper.
So, there's the fridge, stove's over there, grill's on the side, freezer's in the back.
That's salad man, plate guy, tongs guy, check-his-trunk-before-he-leaves guy, and here are the ducks.
Are you familiar with ducks?
I am familiar with ducks.
But, I mean, not just familiar, like you know what a duck is.
I mean, have you cooked a duck before?
I can handle the ducks.
Relax.
Okay.
Ducks handled.
Good.
Now, does Sookie have a menu notes, or, uh - Oh, thanks, uh - Me llamo Manny.
Manny.
Gracias, Manny.
I talked to Sookie, she said everything you need is in that folder, it's a little unorganized.
Well, it wouldn't be Sookie's fault if it wasn't a little unorganized.
Okay, so what can I do to help?
Nothing.
Ah.
Perfect answer.
Not without a hairnet.
Okay.
I'll be out there if you need me.
He's right there.
What's going on?
I'm taking care of you.
You're - Hey!
This is Nanny.
She only speaks Portuguese.
What's Portuguese for 'Ow, you're ripping my chest hair out'?
Clean shirt.
Got it.
What's she doing?
What's that jar?
She's got salve!
She's got salve!
Doyle, relax.
Nanny took care of me for years.
Oh, God.
Do you remember when Han Solo finds Luke Skywalker in the snowstorm and he cuts open their dead Taun-taun to hide inside?
That's what I smell like at this moment.
She makes that balm herself.
I'm telling you, it's magic.
Paris, no offense to Nanny and her magic healing balm, but when I came over here I thought you would take care of me.
I am taking care of you.
I brought you Nanny.
I don't want Nanny.
I'm scared of Nanny.
Can't you just take it from here?
No.
Why?
Sick people freak me out.
You're pre-med!
Paris - Lie down!
You'll feel better soon, I promise!
Cocina.
S�, aqu� esta.
Luke, Sookie.
Hey, Sookie.
Hi.
Hi.
Whatcha doing?
I'm cooking.
Right, good.
Little test.
So, I was just checking in, making sure everything was fine.
Everything is fine.
The ducks working out for you?
The ducks are selling like hotcakes.
Like hotcakes.
God, you are a funny guy!
I just, I never realized.
So, I just wanted to tell you that I'm really grateful to you for jumping in like this.
Happy to jump.
Are you straining the sauce?
Excuse me?
The duck sauce.
Are you straining it?
Yes.
Twice?
No.
Oh, well.
It's really best if you strain it twice.
It makes it really smooth.
People seem to be liking the sauce, Sookie.
Well, sure, when you don't know what you're missing, then - Okay, tell you what.
From now on, I will strain the duck sauce twice.
Three times, if it'll make you happy.
No!
Then it'll be too runny!
Twice it is.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hey.
I've got Sookie on the phone, do you need to talk to her?
Yes, actually.
Great.
I'm handing you over to Lorelai.
Hey.
He's not straining the duck sauce three times, is he?
Uh, not to my knowledge.
Hey, Sookie, where are the applications?
I don't know why you'd joke about a thing like that.
Three times!
That's not funny!
Sookie, the applications, from the culinary institute, for your temporary replacement?
Are they not there?
Uh, depends on where 'there' is.
Huh.
They're around somewhere.
Check the freezer.
Sometimes I like to read in there.
That's very Lucy of you.
I'll call when I find them.
Now rest.
Bye.
Bye.
You know, I love watching you cook.
It's hot.
That's because you're standing right next to the broiler.
Oh, is that what we're calling it now?
Not in front of the guys, please.
Fine.
I'll save my dirty cooking jokes for later.
Yeah, I was just wondering if I could get you to re-submit those applications.
Well, we seem to have misplaced them.
As soon as possible would be great.
Uh-huh.
You can just fax them over.
Thanks.
Bye.
Hello, is somebody there?
Hey, Mom!
Hey, Mom?
That's it?
You just gave me a heart attack and all you have to say is 'hey, Mom'?
I thought you were a vicious serial killer.
Who you were going to challenge to a pillow fight?
What are you doing here, Sassy McSassterson?
I needed some stuff.
What stuff?
My blue dress.
What do you need your blue dress for?
Okay.
I am going to tell you something.
But when I do, you cannot say a word.
Why not?
Because I don't want to hear it.
Hear what?
What you're going to say.
But how do you know what I'm going to say?
Trust me.
I know.
Hey, I have been known to say some very surprising things.
'Hugh, I know you're with Elizabeth Hurley, but how about picking up a hooker tonight?
' That was me.
Mom!
Okay, fine.
Logan and I are now boyfriend and girlfriend.
And I am here because I need my blue dress.
To wear to his parents' house tonight.
I went over to Logan's apartment yesterday.
I told him that I didn't want to do the casual dating thing anymore.
That it wasn't me, and we should just go back to being friends.
Instead, he decided to commit.
Not a word.
Now I know that things may have started off a little rocky - But I am very happy with the way things are going and I think that, in time, you will be too.
Okay, I have everything I need.
I have to get going.
Logan's picking me up at six.
It was nice talking to you.
Don't forget to breathe.
Good, add the parsley and get it out there.
Kitchen!
Do you put walnuts in your b�chamel?
Sookie?
Do you put walnuts in your b�chamel?
No.
You don�t put walnuts in your b�chamel.
Sookie, I have things burning, so � I thought I tasted walnuts.
What things are you burning?
What do you mean, you tasted walnuts?
You want to get fancy, you can do that at your own diner.
My b�chamel sauce is classic.
How are you tasting the b�chamel?
And I don�t remember including goat cheese in the fennel salad!
How do you know what�s in the fennel salad?
So you admit it.
You put goat cheese in the fennel salad.
Yeah, I put goat cheese in the fennel salad.
It goes good in the fennel salad and you had it sitting there.
And I also have some Brill-o pads sitting there.
You want to toss a couple of those into the fennel salad as well?
Hm?
How do you know all this?
I just assumed.
You just assumed I put goat cheese in the fennel salad.
And walnuts in the b�chamel.
I did not put walnuts in the - Sookie, are you having people bring you my food?
You are!
You�re calling here and having people sneak food out from behind my back so that you can taste it.
Wow.
You paranoid or what?
Geez, man, time for a vacation.
Hold on.
Okay, here�s the deal.
Announcement, please.
From this moment on there will be no more food leaving the premises.
The food goes from here to the dining room, or upstairs, and that is it.
No more food will leave the premises.
No quiero que ninguna comida salga de esta local.
�Comprende?
What about you, you comprende?
That�s my kitchen, Luke!
And it will be here waiting for you when you get back.
Until then, sit back, relax, and watch Ellen dance around a little.
I got work to do.
Luke!
Bye-bye.
Hey, Paris.
Hey, Rory.
Oh!
Oh, I scare?
No.
Yes!
Excuse me.
There�s a woman in my room?
That�s Nanny.
You know Nanny.
That makes me sad, that you don�t remember Nanny.
She always liked you.
She�s stripping my bed.
Why is she doing that?
Well, she finally got Doyle to sleep, and she has to do something.
The woman doesn�t tire.
She�s a machine.
What do you mean, she finally got Doyle to sleep?
He�s here.
He�s sick, so Nanny�s taking care of him.
Why aren�t you doing it?
Sick people freak me out.
You�re pre-med!
I�m really tired of having that constantly thrown in my face.
Paris, could you please just get Nanny out of my room, �cause I have dinner with Logan tonight and I have to get ready.
Logan?
I thought you guys were � We were.
What happened?
Well, I told him that I didn�t think things were working and that we should just be friends, but he didn�t want to be just � Friends?
No.
It seemed to wake him up.
So now he wants to give commitment a try.
A commitment?
With Logan?
Yep.
I don�t believe it!
You did it, you landed the whale.
You�re Annette Bening.
I�m not Annette Bening.
It was just a matter of getting him to focus on the situation.
Focus.
Huh.
She�s going to buff your shoes.
I need these.
My God, my room is clean!
Wow!
Uh, where are my keys?
What did I do with my keys?
Just your parents live here?
Ah, got �em.
Well, I certainly hope the drainage is good.
Excuse me?
Because if it�s not good and you have pooling somewhere, you may not know it for months.
I�ll be sure to mention that to them.
You look nervous.
Do I?
Huh.
I�m just not so sure what I got you into.
What do you mean?
Well, my family�s not going to take my sister�s engagement too well.
They can be a little vicious when annoyed.
Hey.
Relax.
You do not have to worry about me at all.
Five years of Friday night dinners have prepared me for exactly this moment.
Really?
Remind me to tell you about the time my mom climbed out a second story window to get away from my grandmother.
Ah, I will.
Okay, ready?
Ready.
You are late!
Fifteen minutes.
Well, it�s awful!
A morgue!
It�s like they already know what I�m going to tell them.
Well, you have been with Josh for three years now.
I don�t understand it.
I called and told them that you were coming because that usually makes Mom happy.
And I told her that you were bringing Rory so they�d be on their company behavior, but from the minute Josh and I walked in that door it�s been iceberg city!
Josh has completely panicked.
Shaking.
Wow.
Sorry.
Don�t be sorry.
Just get in here and stop it.
Hm.
Remind me to tell you about the time my mother wore a shirt with a rhinestone penis on it and my grandma had her car towed.
Look at the ceiling!
Come on.
Have you seen this ceiling?
Hurry!
Well, look what the cat dragged in.
Sorry we�re late, everyone.
It�s all right, Logan, we�re still waiting for your father.
Hey Grandpa, nice to see you.
Did you get those books I sent you?
I did, thank you.
Hey, Josh, it�s been a while, you�re looking well.
You too.
Everyone, I�d like you to meet Rory Gilmore.
Hi.
It�s really nice to meet you all.
This house is amazing.
Seriously, there should be a docent at the door.
Well, thank you, Rory.
You know Rory�s grandparents, Mom.
Richard and Emily.
Yes, of course.
How are Richard and Emily doing?
They�re doing very well.
Oh, that�s wonderful.
So, um, you were at the wedding, right?
Oh.
Well, yes.
We were.
Oh, it was lovely.
Emily certainly knows how to plan an event.
That she does.
I should send her a note.
Hey, Grandpa, can I freshen your drink for you?
Oh, I�m sorry.
Can we get you something, Rory?
I got it, Mom.
Oh, Logan, I don�t think I should � It�s club soda, Ace.
Oh, thanks.
Apparently Mitchum is still at the office.
We might as well start dinner.
So.
Come on.
You�ll feel better when you�ve had some food.
I�ll feel better when we�re leaving.
So sorry.
We owe you one.
No.
Is that a Velazquez?
Come on.
It is!
That�s a Velazquez!
This house is so cool!
So, I am holding in my hand one of our comment cards on which a particular person has written, and I quote, best meal I�ve ever had.
The duck was exceptional, the lamb chops were amazing.
Ask the chef if he�ll marry me.
What do you think?
I don�t know, what does she look like?
I didn�t say it was a she.
I�ll stick with what I have.
Aw, sweet.
I didn�t know you were making lamb chops.
Last minute addition.
You know, your cooking crew here is great!
Really?
Yeah, Mark the salad guy?
Top-notch.
Javier is one hell of a grill man, and Manny, your sous-chef?
I�d kick Caesar out on his ass if I could steal Manny.
Oh, you covet my kitchen staff.
Feeling superior and I like it!
Okay, guys, we need two sea basses, one chicken, one pepper steak without the pepper, go figure � Where�s Pedro going?
I knew it!
Are you insane?
Well, you wouldn�t take my calls!
How long have you been up here?
Since you made me promise that no food would leave the premises.
Well, here I am, keeping my promises.
Pedro, give me the ladle.
Pedro, do not give her that ladle.
Give me the ladle, Pedro.
Vente uno con migo, Pedro!
Hueso su jefe, Pedro!
You�re scaring Pedro.
All day long things are disappearing.
Salads are suddenly gone.
Lamb chops don�t make it to the table.
I had to make sure you were doing it right.
You�re supposed to be home!
No!
I�m supposed to be in bed!
And I�m in bed!
And you said that you would double-strain the duck sauce and you, my friend, are not double straining!
There will be no more of this.
No more calls.
No more questions.
No more ladles that leave that kitchen.
I don�t care what bed you�re in.
That is between you and your husband and God, I hope a qualified therapist.
But you will not interfere with me anymore.
Period.
Give me that.
So, Grandpa, how�s the new boat?
It�s a boat.
It floats.
I hear it�s beautiful.
When are you going to let me take her out?
Now, Logan, you don�t have the best track record when it comes to boats.
Only other people�s boats.
Our boats are very safe.
We should do a summer trip.
Maybe hit the Amalfi Coast again?
All of us.
Rory, Josh, you, me.
Dad!
Maria!
Yes, sir?
It�s too hot.
Bring me a salad.
I�ll be right back.
What?
Mom�s a stress smoker.
Oh.
I don�t understand why everyone�s so upset.
Josh seems fine.
The Huntzbergers aren�t interested in fine.
Shira!
Yes, Dad?
What time did Mitchum say he�d be here?
I don�t know.
He didn�t say.
Well, this is ridiculous!
Please, Dad.
We�re all just going to sit around this table and pretend there�s nothing going on?
Let�s just wait for Mitchum!
There are serious matters to be discussed here.
This is an important family.
Marrying into it is important business.
But no, we can�t discuss this until Mitchum gets here!
What is this?
Go away!
Okay, I�m sorry.
I have to jump in here.
Grandpa, we all respect you and Mom and Dad, but the bottom line here is, Honor has to be happy.
Now, if she loves Josh, then � Logan, I appreciate you defending me but I can take it from here.
Mom, Grandpa, I had hoped that you would be happy for me, but obviously that�s not going to happen.
You didn�t even let me announce it to you before you formed your opinion, and I�m sorry you feel the way you do, but Josh and I made it official last week.
We are engaged now and no matter what you say, we are going to get married.
In June.
Well, of course you�re going to get married!
You�ve been dating for three years, and I already put a hold on the Japanese Tea Garden for next spring.
Oh.
Well, that sounds great, thank you!
So we should celebrate then!
We�ll celebrate when we have finished our discussion!
Which discussion?
The discussion about unsuitable people marrying into this family.
What?
I�ll be right back!
You should know better than this, Logan!
I know you like to joke around, and tease us, but I always thought at the end of the day, you understood what your responsibilities to this family were!
Mom, I suggest you come back in here, right now!
Logan, you just haven�t thought about this.
I mean, I�m sure Rory understands.
She wants to work.
Isn�t that right, Rory?
Emily�s always talking about you wanting to be a reporter and travel around doing this and that.
A girl like Rory has no idea what it takes to be in this family, Logan.
Oh my God.
She wasn�t raised that way.
She wasn�t bred for it.
And this isn�t at all about her mother, it�s just, you come from two totally different worlds.
It would never work.
Not for you, and certainly not for us.
Okay, this conversation is going to end right now.
I am not going to sit here � You are going to be taking over this company!
That�s what you are going to be doing!
And when you do, you are going to need the right kind of person at your side.
This isn�t college, Logan!
And whatever happened to that Fallon girl?
I loved her.
Do you talk anymore?
No, we don�t talk!
We never talked, you talked.
Oh, what a shame.
I just loved her.
Okay.
Let�s go.
Logan.
You have to understand.
You bring this girl home without any warning at all, and Honor tells us you�re calling her your girlfriend!
We have to take that seriously.
Logan, come back here!
I don�t understand!
They�re psychotic.
What more is there to understand?
But why don�t they think I�m good enough?
Rory.
I mean, I�m a Gilmore!
Do they know that?
My ancestors came over on the Mayflower!
Don�t try to analyze it, there�s no rhyme or reason!
I had a coming out party!
I went to Chilton, and Yale, and why are they okay with Josh?
I mean, he doesn�t even say anything!
At least I noticed the Velazquez!
Josh isn�t marrying the heir to the Huntzberger fortune, you are.
I�ve got to get out of here.
Logan!
Perfect.
Did they start dinner?
Is it some sort of precious fish dish?
�Cause I�m dying for a steak.
You�re Rory, I assume.
Heard a lot about you.
We�re leaving.
What?
Why?
You know why.
Had a long day, Logan.
Don�t want to play games.
Is dinner over?
No.
The Huntzberger family Shanghai is over.
Dinner, however is still going on.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
What happened?
Oh, no.
Why is your mother smoking?
We have to go.
I�m sure they�ll fill you in on everything.
It was nice to meet you.
Paris, come on in, we�re just chatting.
I see that.
I got to tell you, Paris, you were right.
This stuff is magic.
Esa e majica.
She just taught me that.
She�s great!
Yeah, she is.
So, you seem better!
I am so much better.
Nanny�s got me salving every four hours, I�ve steamed, I�ve had soup.
All I need now is one more good Nyquil knockout sleep, and I�ll be as good as new.
Hey, could you?
Oh, sure.
I�ve got to tell you, Paris.
You�re a lifesaver.
Really.
Paris?
Paris, the Nyquil!
Doyle, it�s time we have a talk about our relationship.
But � Doyle, focus!
Hey.
You in the hat.
Jackson, what are you � How dare you take a ladle from a pregnant woman!
What?
Dr.
Menck very specifically said that she needs to relax and she cannot relax thinking you�re in here screwing up her sauce!
I�m not!
Now, while there�s a very good chance that you could kill me in a fight, I do not care.
That woman is my wife, and she is carrying my baby.
So from now on, if she wants to talk, you will talk!
If she wants to taste your food, you will let her taste your food!
If she wants you to double-strain that sauce, you will double-strain that sauce, my friend!
Because I have to live with her and if she is upset because of anything that you have done, I will come over here and I will soundly kick your ass!
That is if you haven�t killed me yet!
Hey!
Hey.
That�s it.
I�ve had it.
You�ve had what?
She�s a crazy woman, and now she�s upstairs and ladles are mysteriously flying out of the kitchen.
Who�s upstairs?
Sookie�s upstairs!
No, Sookie�s at home.
No, Sookie�s supposed to be at home.
And then I didn�t strain the sauce twice, so she came here to drive me crazy and she brought her loony husband with her!
Jackson�s here?
How am I missing all of this?
I don�t know, and I don�t care!
I�m through!
I�m not taking this anymore!
What do you mean, you�re not taking it anymore?
What are you going to do?
You want to know what I�m going to do?
Nothing!
Because I am in a relationship with you and you know very well I can�t leave.
All I can do is come out here and say I�m through and pretend I have a leg to stand on and then march back into that kitchen and keep doing the job, but, oh, boy.
I�m going to be thinking about what I would have done if we weren�t in a relationship, even though that would mean I wouldn�t be in this position in the first place.
Excuse me.
Ah, if this is the eccentric couple version of the Amazing Race, I think you guys are winning.
Are we talking to her?
I don�t think we�re talking to her.
Hey, it�s Lorelai!
Girlfriend of Luke, and we�re not talking to Luke.
Well, I�m talking to Lorelai.
How you doing?
Sookie, this is not bed rest.
My feet are up.
I told you not to talk to her.
Abba Zabbas.
Good morning Vietnam!
How's everyone feeling today?
Terrific!
Okay, I got tacos, hard tacos, I got soft tacos, I got fries, curly, straight, and spicy - Are you serious?
Trust me.
It's the best hangover food on the east coast.
You get a Mars bar?
You know, hare to the dog?
Ah, there's pop tarts in the cabinet, Kirk.
Coffee'll be up in a minute, grab some water and start hydrating!
The smell of these tacos is making me nauseous.
No, no, no.
That's the quart of Patty's non-FDA-approved Founder's Day punch you drank last night.
Eat a taco.
Oh, thank God, hangover food.
That's my little college girl.
Tito's was open this early?
Well, it was for me.
The power you have over fast food owners is astonishing.
Oh, God.
I think I'm going to throw up.
No.
I'm good.
By the way, thanks for leaving me on the bathroom floor all night.
Uh, hey, I tried to get you up.
You actually used your foot to stop me.
I did?
Yes.
It was very House of Flying Daggers, but with vomiting.
Sorry.
I don't remember that.
The foot part.
The vomiting part, however - Stop saying the word 'vomiting'.
Unless you want a Mr.
Creosote situation on your hands here.
Oh, man.
I think I got a cavity.
I got to stop partying like this.
What are you looking for?
My book bag.
I believe it's in your room.
Room?
That way.
Right.
Hey.
I got you a beef burrito.
I thought it might be too hardcore for the amateurs in the kitchen, but I figured you'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
So, how are you feeling?
I've been better.
Yeah.
You take aspirin?
Aspirin?
White pill, big 'A' on it.
Right, yep.
Oh, here, before I forget.
Um, this fell out of your pocket last night while you were pulling an Exorcist.
Mm.
Paris gave it to me to hold so she wouldn't call Doyle.
She was the talk of the town this morning.
Attacked the pretzel cart, police backup had to be called for the first time ever.
She was quite a mess.
So apparently it was a theme.
I am sorry.
It won't happen again, believe me.
You, of all people, should know the dangers of the Founder's Day punch.
Did you learn nothing from Mommy's Coyote Ugly bar dance at last year's Salute to the Quakers festival?
Oh, now, you can't blame that all on the punch.
Well, don't get me wrong, I'm always up for a little mother-daughter bonding, but seriously.
When did facials go out of style?
I'm sorry.
I just don't like seeing you like that.
That makes two of us.
So, what was all that stuff you were babbling on about last night?
What stuff?
About Logan.
Things aren't going so well with the two of you, huh?
I'm going to get some coffee.
Rory.
I know.
Kitchen, that way.
Well, this is a surprise.
Can I come in?
Sure.
You want to sit down?
Nope.
Got to stay vertical.
What?
You have, like, an octagon imprinted on your face.
I can't do this anymore Logan.
Do what?
This casual dating thing.
I don't like it.
It's not who I am and I don't want to make it who I am.
Whoa, hold on here.
Where's this coming from?
It's coming from me.
The ravishing creature standing in front of you.
We talked about this.
I know.
I didn't make you do this.
I know.
I'm not accusing you of anything.
This isn't your fault.
I don't understand.
I thought everything was going so well.
What are you talking about?
I haven't heard from you in a week.
I was busy.
I had some friends in town, and - You know what?
It doesn't matter.
You're not my boyfriend, you don't owe me any explanations.
I just don't want to be one of the many anymore.
Oh, Rory, come on!
Hey, Logan, Cassandra's on the phone.
Take a message.
She's got a great accent.
Where's she from?
Lanny!
Message!
Fine.
Relax, man.
Geez.
Go call Cassandra back.
We're done here.
How are we done here?
I said everything I have to say.
Which is what?
I'm a girlfriend girl, Logan.
I have boyfriends, not escorts.
Ah.
I thought I could be different, but I can't.
I'm sorry.
Maybe we can just go back to being friends again.
Or maybe we can become boyfriend and girlfriend, right?
What?
I get it.
I get what you're doing.
I'm not doing anything.
Hey, if that's what you want then just come out and say it.
But you coming in here and issuing an ultimatum - I am not issuing an ultimatum!
That's not what I heard.
I said let's be friends!
That's not what you meant!
I need a taco!
All right, fine.
I'll do it.
Do what?
I'll be your boyfriend.
You can't be my boyfriend.
Why not?
Because you told me that you can't be my boyfriend.
If I say I can, then I can.
You have a hundred girls on speed dial.
You keep a second bathrobe in your closet for overnight guests.
That's all beside the point.
You came in here to say you were unhappy with the situation, right?
Right.
Fine.
I've rectified the situation.
Problem solved.
No.
Problem not solved.
Hey.
If I say I can do this, I can do this!
Hey Logan.
Thought maybe I could get you to buy me some lunch.
Oh, geez - I'm sorry.
Could you excuse us for just a second?
We're almost done here.
Sure.
I'll just wait out here.
So the Swedish flight attendants should be here any minute.
I swear this situation has never happened to me before in my life.
Logan - Rory.
Do you really want to stop seeing me?
No, but I can't - 'Cause I don't want to stop seeing you.
Okay, but - So then just accept what I'm saying.
I like trying new things.
It's new, it's different, but I can do it.
Are you sure?
Well, I know you can do that, but - I really want to believe you.
Then believe me.
We're starting fresh right now, new beginning.
So you want to go grab some lunch?
We'll hammer out the details.
I should probably change first.
Go home, change.
I'll pick you up in half an hour.
Okay.
See how good this is going so far?
I think I'm going to be an excellent boyfriend.
I agree.
Now do you want to go tell her, or should I?
Oh, crap.
I'll be right back.
Doyle?
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I'm dying.
What do you mean, you're dying?
I got sick.
And then my very concerned roommates kicked me out because they have exams.
Oh my God.
I didn't know where to go, so I came here.
I called you first.
I was gone this weekend.
So I just came by.
I thought I'd wait till you got back, then I fell asleep.
You've been here all weekend?
I thought you were avoiding me.
I'm sorry you're sick.
It feels like bees are buzzing in my head.
Feel it.
What?
Feel my head.
Why?
I just want you to know how hot I am.
Well, when you're hot, you're hot and when you're not, you're not.
That's how the song goes.
Just follow the song.
What?
I just don't see what putting my hand on your head is going to get you.
It's just - I'm not a shaman, Doyle.
I don't have healing powers.
Where are you going?
I'll be right back.
Hold on a second.
It's for you.
It's Sookie.
She's done with her doctor's appointment.
Oh, she say how she is?
Mm, to someone who may have asked her, I'm sure she would have.
Mm-hm.
Hey, Sookie.
The bastard put me on bed rest.
What?
Dr.
Menck.
He told me to lie down immediately and not to get up again until little Cherry or Norric comes out.
Oh.
Well, we'll get to the names in a second.
So, are you serious about the bed rest?
Where are you?
I'm at home, on the couch!
Are you okay?
No, I'm not okay!
I have a dinner to get out.
Well, honey, I think we're going to have to do that without you.
But how?
Well, we have a kitchen staff, and you just tell me what still needs to be done, and we will handle it.
Okay.
Get a pencil.
Okay.
Pencil in hand.
You need to grate six carrots and four parsnips, and then take some flour and butter, melt the butter, make a roux.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What?
Uh, baby, you lost me at carrots.
Which, uh, by the way, was the first draft of 'you had me at hello'.
You had me at what?
What are you talking about?
Oh, sorry.
I see we've entered the no humor zone.
Look, just relax.
I'm going to take care of everything.
But the ducks.
The ducks will be fine.
They're lying in a pan with their heads chopped off, so the worst part is behind them.
Now, don't worry.
Go rest, and I'll check in with you later.
But - Happy hibernating!
No Sookie?
No Sookie.
Come on.
Okay, now tell me who does what, and what we need to keep things running.
Well, we need Sookie here.
Okay.
Well, she's not going to be here, so let's go to plan B.
Okay, plan B.
That involves Sookie's clone, also named Sookie.
Well, um, who here makes the sauces?
Sookie.
Who here, Michel?
Sookie trusts no one else with the sauces.
She makes the sauces.
Well, what does Mark make?
Salads.
Okay, and Donny does desserts.
What do our other guys do?
Well, that man over there does the cleaning.
That man over there dresses the plates, that man uses tongs, and I have no idea what that man in the corner does.
But I would check his trunk before he leaves.
Without Sookie here, we have salads and desserts?
Pretty much.
We can't run a restaurant serving just salads and desserts!
I would not go to eat, no.
Wait, okay.
Here we have duck.
Um, who here does the duck?
Nobody touches the ducks.
Well, starting now, someone has to touch the ducks!
I do not know what to tell you, except that it will not be me.
This is bad, Michel.
I'm getting that, yes.
Well, we'll just figure something out, right?
Absolutely.
Ain't no mountain high enough.
We'll just, um, formulate a plan, nail down a strategy.
You have any ideas?
We could order some pizza, or Chinese food, or perhaps one of those hoagies that you cut into a million pieces - No more suggestions necessary, Michel.
Well, I'm here if you need me.
Luke's!
How pretty do you think I am?
Are we using a specific day?
Have you had a good night's sleep?
Sookie's doctor put her on immediate bed rest, and I thought it would be fine, but no one will touch the ducks, and Michel wants to order a hoagie, and I am starting to hyperventilate and I'm not wearing a stretchy fabric, and - I'll be right there.
How's that headache of yours?
Subsiding a little.
The mashed potato, mac and cheese, biscuit, gravy plate combo really helped a lot.
I have to say, half the fun in being with you is the horrified looks on the waiters' faces.
Please.
I'm an amateur compared to my mother.
So what do you think?
You up for a movie?
Oh, yeah.
Something really bad.
Absolutely.
Let's check the paper and see if Rob Schneider's still employable.
I think I have a paper over - Well!
Look how long you make a girl wait for you!
Honor!
Do you really think you're worth it?
What are you doing here?
Apparently begging for some affection!
It is so good to see you.
You too!
Listen, Logan.
Maybe I should go.
What?
Oh, sorry, God.
Rory, this is my sister Honor.
Honor, Rory Gilmore.
Sister?
Really?
Oh.
Well, it's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you too.
Hey, your sister's here.
Cool.
So, what's the occasion?
Well, I had to see you, and since you never check your email I had to drag myself down and beg Lanny to let me in so I could show you this!
Holy!
It happened last night!
Oh, Josh finally gave in, uh?
Oh, stop it.
He's lucky I ever looked at him in the first place.
Well, congratulations.
Listen.
I need a favor.
I'm going to tell them tomorrow night at dinner and I need you there for support.
Come on.
Hey.
I backed you up when you wanted to take a year off school and sail around the world.
I wired you the money when you sunk the yacht.
I helped pay off the Indonesian Coast Guard!
Okay, okay!
I'll be there.
Oh, thank you!
I love you, I love you, I love you.
Okay.
Now I can breathe.
And focus on - you.
Hi.
Hi.
Okay, I'm totally blanking.
Your name is?
Rory.
Rory Gilmore.
Yeah, Rory's my...
girlfriend.
You okay over there?
You need a little water, or a time machine?
I'm sorry, did you say girlfriend?
Yes.
It's new.
Oh, my God!
I've never heard him call anyone his girlfriend before.
Well, Alyssa Milano, but he was ten and in a weird Who's the Boss phase.
Oh, wow, time flies when you're getting pushed out the door.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Listen, you must come to dinner too.
Oh, um - No.
Really, come.
Please come.
It'll make it more festive and distracting.
We'll see.
Okay, fine.
I have to go.
I'll see you tomorrow night.
Please don't be late?
I promise.
Bye, Rory.
Bye!
And that is my sister.
I like her!
Yeah, she's cool!
Listen, you do not have to take me to dinner tomorrow.
It's a family thing, I totally understand.
No, you should come.
Logan.
Hey.
Boyfriends bring their girlfriends to their family's houses for dinner.
It's natural.
How would you know?
I saw it on Who's the Boss.
Now, let's find that paper.
So, there's the fridge, stove's over there, grill's on the side, freezer's in the back.
That's salad man, plate guy, tongs guy, check-his-trunk-before-he-leaves guy, and here are the ducks.
Are you familiar with ducks?
I am familiar with ducks.
But, I mean, not just familiar, like you know what a duck is.
I mean, have you cooked a duck before?
I can handle the ducks.
Relax.
Okay.
Ducks handled.
Good.
Now, does Sookie have a menu notes, or, uh - Oh, thanks, uh - Me llamo Manny.
Manny.
Gracias, Manny.
I talked to Sookie, she said everything you need is in that folder, it's a little unorganized.
Well, it wouldn't be Sookie's fault if it wasn't a little unorganized.
Okay, so what can I do to help?
Nothing.
Ah.
Perfect answer.
Not without a hairnet.
Okay.
I'll be out there if you need me.
He's right there.
What's going on?
I'm taking care of you.
You're - Hey!
This is Nanny.
She only speaks Portuguese.
What's Portuguese for 'Ow, you're ripping my chest hair out'?
Clean shirt.
Got it.
What's she doing?
What's that jar?
She's got salve!
She's got salve!
Doyle, relax.
Nanny took care of me for years.
Oh, God.
Do you remember when Han Solo finds Luke Skywalker in the snowstorm and he cuts open their dead Taun-taun to hide inside?
That's what I smell like at this moment.
She makes that balm herself.
I'm telling you, it's magic.
Paris, no offense to Nanny and her magic healing balm, but when I came over here I thought you would take care of me.
I am taking care of you.
I brought you Nanny.
I don't want Nanny.
I'm scared of Nanny.
Can't you just take it from here?
No.
Why?
Sick people freak me out.
You're pre-med!
Paris - Lie down!
You'll feel better soon, I promise!
Cocina.
S�, aqu� esta.
Luke, Sookie.
Hey, Sookie.
Hi.
Hi.
Whatcha doing?
I'm cooking.
Right, good.
Little test.
So, I was just checking in, making sure everything was fine.
Everything is fine.
The ducks working out for you?
The ducks are selling like hotcakes.
Like hotcakes.
God, you are a funny guy!
I just, I never realized.
So, I just wanted to tell you that I'm really grateful to you for jumping in like this.
Happy to jump.
Are you straining the sauce?
Excuse me?
The duck sauce.
Are you straining it?
Yes.
Twice?
No.
Oh, well.
It's really best if you strain it twice.
It makes it really smooth.
People seem to be liking the sauce, Sookie.
Well, sure, when you don't know what you're missing, then - Okay, tell you what.
From now on, I will strain the duck sauce twice.
Three times, if it'll make you happy.
No!
Then it'll be too runny!
Twice it is.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hey.
I've got Sookie on the phone, do you need to talk to her?
Yes, actually.
Great.
I'm handing you over to Lorelai.
Hey.
He's not straining the duck sauce three times, is he?
Uh, not to my knowledge.
Hey, Sookie, where are the applications?
I don't know why you'd joke about a thing like that.
Three times!
That's not funny!
Sookie, the applications, from the culinary institute, for your temporary replacement?
Are they not there?
Uh, depends on where 'there' is.
Huh.
They're around somewhere.
Check the freezer.
Sometimes I like to read in there.
That's very Lucy of you.
I'll call when I find them.
Now rest.
Bye.
Bye.
You know, I love watching you cook.
It's hot.
That's because you're standing right next to the broiler.
Oh, is that what we're calling it now?
Not in front of the guys, please.
Fine.
I'll save my dirty cooking jokes for later.
Yeah, I was just wondering if I could get you to re-submit those applications.
Well, we seem to have misplaced them.
As soon as possible would be great.
Uh-huh.
You can just fax them over.
Thanks.
Bye.
Hello, is somebody there?
Hey, Mom!
Hey, Mom?
That's it?
You just gave me a heart attack and all you have to say is 'hey, Mom'?
I thought you were a vicious serial killer.
Who you were going to challenge to a pillow fight?
What are you doing here, Sassy McSassterson?
I needed some stuff.
What stuff?
My blue dress.
What do you need your blue dress for?
Okay.
I am going to tell you something.
But when I do, you cannot say a word.
Why not?
Because I don't want to hear it.
Hear what?
What you're going to say.
But how do you know what I'm going to say?
Trust me.
I know.
Hey, I have been known to say some very surprising things.
'Hugh, I know you're with Elizabeth Hurley, but how about picking up a hooker tonight?
' That was me.
Mom!
Okay, fine.
Logan and I are now boyfriend and girlfriend.
And I am here because I need my blue dress.
To wear to his parents' house tonight.
I went over to Logan's apartment yesterday.
I told him that I didn't want to do the casual dating thing anymore.
That it wasn't me, and we should just go back to being friends.
Instead, he decided to commit.
Not a word.
Now I know that things may have started off a little rocky - But I am very happy with the way things are going and I think that, in time, you will be too.
Okay, I have everything I need.
I have to get going.
Logan's picking me up at six.
It was nice talking to you.
Don't forget to breathe.
Good, add the parsley and get it out there.
Kitchen!
Do you put walnuts in your b�chamel?
Sookie?
Do you put walnuts in your b�chamel?
No.
You don�t put walnuts in your b�chamel.
Sookie, I have things burning, so � I thought I tasted walnuts.
What things are you burning?
What do you mean, you tasted walnuts?
You want to get fancy, you can do that at your own diner.
My b�chamel sauce is classic.
How are you tasting the b�chamel?
And I don�t remember including goat cheese in the fennel salad!
How do you know what�s in the fennel salad?
So you admit it.
You put goat cheese in the fennel salad.
Yeah, I put goat cheese in the fennel salad.
It goes good in the fennel salad and you had it sitting there.
And I also have some Brill-o pads sitting there.
You want to toss a couple of those into the fennel salad as well?
Hm?
How do you know all this?
I just assumed.
You just assumed I put goat cheese in the fennel salad.
And walnuts in the b�chamel.
I did not put walnuts in the - Sookie, are you having people bring you my food?
You are!
You�re calling here and having people sneak food out from behind my back so that you can taste it.
Wow.
You paranoid or what?
Geez, man, time for a vacation.
Hold on.
Okay, here�s the deal.
Announcement, please.
From this moment on there will be no more food leaving the premises.
The food goes from here to the dining room, or upstairs, and that is it.
No more food will leave the premises.
No quiero que ninguna comida salga de esta local.
�Comprende?
What about you, you comprende?
That�s my kitchen, Luke!
And it will be here waiting for you when you get back.
Until then, sit back, relax, and watch Ellen dance around a little.
I got work to do.
Luke!
Bye-bye.
Hey, Paris.
Hey, Rory.
Oh!
Oh, I scare?
No.
Yes!
Excuse me.
There�s a woman in my room?
That�s Nanny.
You know Nanny.
That makes me sad, that you don�t remember Nanny.
She always liked you.
She�s stripping my bed.
Why is she doing that?
Well, she finally got Doyle to sleep, and she has to do something.
The woman doesn�t tire.
She�s a machine.
What do you mean, she finally got Doyle to sleep?
He�s here.
He�s sick, so Nanny�s taking care of him.
Why aren�t you doing it?
Sick people freak me out.
You�re pre-med!
I�m really tired of having that constantly thrown in my face.
Paris, could you please just get Nanny out of my room, �cause I have dinner with Logan tonight and I have to get ready.
Logan?
I thought you guys were � We were.
What happened?
Well, I told him that I didn�t think things were working and that we should just be friends, but he didn�t want to be just � Friends?
No.
It seemed to wake him up.
So now he wants to give commitment a try.
A commitment?
With Logan?
Yep.
I don�t believe it!
You did it, you landed the whale.
You�re Annette Bening.
I�m not Annette Bening.
It was just a matter of getting him to focus on the situation.
Focus.
Huh.
She�s going to buff your shoes.
I need these.
My God, my room is clean!
Wow!
Uh, where are my keys?
What did I do with my keys?
Just your parents live here?
Ah, got �em.
Well, I certainly hope the drainage is good.
Excuse me?
Because if it�s not good and you have pooling somewhere, you may not know it for months.
I�ll be sure to mention that to them.
You look nervous.
Do I?
Huh.
I�m just not so sure what I got you into.
What do you mean?
Well, my family�s not going to take my sister�s engagement too well.
They can be a little vicious when annoyed.
Hey.
Relax.
You do not have to worry about me at all.
Five years of Friday night dinners have prepared me for exactly this moment.
Really?
Remind me to tell you about the time my mom climbed out a second story window to get away from my grandmother.
Ah, I will.
Okay, ready?
Ready.
You are late!
Fifteen minutes.
Well, it�s awful!
A morgue!
It�s like they already know what I�m going to tell them.
Well, you have been with Josh for three years now.
I don�t understand it.
I called and told them that you were coming because that usually makes Mom happy.
And I told her that you were bringing Rory so they�d be on their company behavior, but from the minute Josh and I walked in that door it�s been iceberg city!
Josh has completely panicked.
Shaking.
Wow.
Sorry.
Don�t be sorry.
Just get in here and stop it.
Hm.
Remind me to tell you about the time my mother wore a shirt with a rhinestone penis on it and my grandma had her car towed.
Look at the ceiling!
Come on.
Have you seen this ceiling?
Hurry!
Well, look what the cat dragged in.
Sorry we�re late, everyone.
It�s all right, Logan, we�re still waiting for your father.
Hey Grandpa, nice to see you.
Did you get those books I sent you?
I did, thank you.
Hey, Josh, it�s been a while, you�re looking well.
You too.
Everyone, I�d like you to meet Rory Gilmore.
Hi.
It�s really nice to meet you all.
This house is amazing.
Seriously, there should be a docent at the door.
Well, thank you, Rory.
You know Rory�s grandparents, Mom.
Richard and Emily.
Yes, of course.
How are Richard and Emily doing?
They�re doing very well.
Oh, that�s wonderful.
So, um, you were at the wedding, right?
Oh.
Well, yes.
We were.
Oh, it was lovely.
Emily certainly knows how to plan an event.
That she does.
I should send her a note.
Hey, Grandpa, can I freshen your drink for you?
Oh, I�m sorry.
Can we get you something, Rory?
I got it, Mom.
Oh, Logan, I don�t think I should � It�s club soda, Ace.
Oh, thanks.
Apparently Mitchum is still at the office.
We might as well start dinner.
So.
Come on.
You�ll feel better when you�ve had some food.
I�ll feel better when we�re leaving.
So sorry.
We owe you one.
No.
Is that a Velazquez?
Come on.
It is!
That�s a Velazquez!
This house is so cool!
So, I am holding in my hand one of our comment cards on which a particular person has written, and I quote, best meal I�ve ever had.
The duck was exceptional, the lamb chops were amazing.
Ask the chef if he�ll marry me.
What do you think?
I don�t know, what does she look like?
I didn�t say it was a she.
I�ll stick with what I have.
Aw, sweet.
I didn�t know you were making lamb chops.
Last minute addition.
You know, your cooking crew here is great!
Really?
Yeah, Mark the salad guy?
Top-notch.
Javier is one hell of a grill man, and Manny, your sous-chef?
I�d kick Caesar out on his ass if I could steal Manny.
Oh, you covet my kitchen staff.
Feeling superior and I like it!
Okay, guys, we need two sea basses, one chicken, one pepper steak without the pepper, go figure � Where�s Pedro going?
I knew it!
Are you insane?
Well, you wouldn�t take my calls!
How long have you been up here?
Since you made me promise that no food would leave the premises.
Well, here I am, keeping my promises.
Pedro, give me the ladle.
Pedro, do not give her that ladle.
Give me the ladle, Pedro.
Vente uno con migo, Pedro!
Hueso su jefe, Pedro!
You�re scaring Pedro.
All day long things are disappearing.
Salads are suddenly gone.
Lamb chops don�t make it to the table.
I had to make sure you were doing it right.
You�re supposed to be home!
No!
I�m supposed to be in bed!
And I�m in bed!
And you said that you would double-strain the duck sauce and you, my friend, are not double straining!
There will be no more of this.
No more calls.
No more questions.
No more ladles that leave that kitchen.
I don�t care what bed you�re in.
That is between you and your husband and God, I hope a qualified therapist.
But you will not interfere with me anymore.
Period.
Give me that.
So, Grandpa, how�s the new boat?
It�s a boat.
It floats.
I hear it�s beautiful.
When are you going to let me take her out?
Now, Logan, you don�t have the best track record when it comes to boats.
Only other people�s boats.
Our boats are very safe.
We should do a summer trip.
Maybe hit the Amalfi Coast again?
All of us.
Rory, Josh, you, me.
Dad!
Maria!
Yes, sir?
It�s too hot.
Bring me a salad.
I�ll be right back.
What?
Mom�s a stress smoker.
Oh.
I don�t understand why everyone�s so upset.
Josh seems fine.
The Huntzbergers aren�t interested in fine.
Shira!
Yes, Dad?
What time did Mitchum say he�d be here?
I don�t know.
He didn�t say.
Well, this is ridiculous!
Please, Dad.
We�re all just going to sit around this table and pretend there�s nothing going on?
Let�s just wait for Mitchum!
There are serious matters to be discussed here.
This is an important family.
Marrying into it is important business.
But no, we can�t discuss this until Mitchum gets here!
What is this?
Go away!
Okay, I�m sorry.
I have to jump in here.
Grandpa, we all respect you and Mom and Dad, but the bottom line here is, Honor has to be happy.
Now, if she loves Josh, then � Logan, I appreciate you defending me but I can take it from here.
Mom, Grandpa, I had hoped that you would be happy for me, but obviously that�s not going to happen.
You didn�t even let me announce it to you before you formed your opinion, and I�m sorry you feel the way you do, but Josh and I made it official last week.
We are engaged now and no matter what you say, we are going to get married.
In June.
Well, of course you�re going to get married!
You�ve been dating for three years, and I already put a hold on the Japanese Tea Garden for next spring.
Oh.
Well, that sounds great, thank you!
So we should celebrate then!
We�ll celebrate when we have finished our discussion!
Which discussion?
The discussion about unsuitable people marrying into this family.
What?
I�ll be right back!
You should know better than this, Logan!
I know you like to joke around, and tease us, but I always thought at the end of the day, you understood what your responsibilities to this family were!
Mom, I suggest you come back in here, right now!
Logan, you just haven�t thought about this.
I mean, I�m sure Rory understands.
She wants to work.
Isn�t that right, Rory?
Emily�s always talking about you wanting to be a reporter and travel around doing this and that.
A girl like Rory has no idea what it takes to be in this family, Logan.
Oh my God.
She wasn�t raised that way.
She wasn�t bred for it.
And this isn�t at all about her mother, it�s just, you come from two totally different worlds.
It would never work.
Not for you, and certainly not for us.
Okay, this conversation is going to end right now.
I am not going to sit here � You are going to be taking over this company!
That�s what you are going to be doing!
And when you do, you are going to need the right kind of person at your side.
This isn�t college, Logan!
And whatever happened to that Fallon girl?
I loved her.
Do you talk anymore?
No, we don�t talk!
We never talked, you talked.
Oh, what a shame.
I just loved her.
Okay.
Let�s go.
Logan.
You have to understand.
You bring this girl home without any warning at all, and Honor tells us you�re calling her your girlfriend!
We have to take that seriously.
Logan, come back here!
I don�t understand!
They�re psychotic.
What more is there to understand?
But why don�t they think I�m good enough?
Rory.
I mean, I�m a Gilmore!
Do they know that?
My ancestors came over on the Mayflower!
Don�t try to analyze it, there�s no rhyme or reason!
I had a coming out party!
I went to Chilton, and Yale, and why are they okay with Josh?
I mean, he doesn�t even say anything!
At least I noticed the Velazquez!
Josh isn�t marrying the heir to the Huntzberger fortune, you are.
I�ve got to get out of here.
Logan!
Perfect.
Did they start dinner?
Is it some sort of precious fish dish?
�Cause I�m dying for a steak.
You�re Rory, I assume.
Heard a lot about you.
We�re leaving.
What?
Why?
You know why.
Had a long day, Logan.
Don�t want to play games.
Is dinner over?
No.
The Huntzberger family Shanghai is over.
Dinner, however is still going on.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
What happened?
Oh, no.
Why is your mother smoking?
We have to go.
I�m sure they�ll fill you in on everything.
It was nice to meet you.
Paris, come on in, we�re just chatting.
I see that.
I got to tell you, Paris, you were right.
This stuff is magic.
Esa e majica.
She just taught me that.
She�s great!
Yeah, she is.
So, you seem better!
I am so much better.
Nanny�s got me salving every four hours, I�ve steamed, I�ve had soup.
All I need now is one more good Nyquil knockout sleep, and I�ll be as good as new.
Hey, could you?
Oh, sure.
I�ve got to tell you, Paris.
You�re a lifesaver.
Really.
Paris?
Paris, the Nyquil!
Doyle, it�s time we have a talk about our relationship.
But � Doyle, focus!
Hey.
You in the hat.
Jackson, what are you � How dare you take a ladle from a pregnant woman!
What?
Dr.
Menck very specifically said that she needs to relax and she cannot relax thinking you�re in here screwing up her sauce!
I�m not!
Now, while there�s a very good chance that you could kill me in a fight, I do not care.
That woman is my wife, and she is carrying my baby.
So from now on, if she wants to talk, you will talk!
If she wants to taste your food, you will let her taste your food!
If she wants you to double-strain that sauce, you will double-strain that sauce, my friend!
Because I have to live with her and if she is upset because of anything that you have done, I will come over here and I will soundly kick your ass!
That is if you haven�t killed me yet!
Hey!
Hey.
That�s it.
I�ve had it.
You�ve had what?
She�s a crazy woman, and now she�s upstairs and ladles are mysteriously flying out of the kitchen.
Who�s upstairs?
Sookie�s upstairs!
No, Sookie�s at home.
No, Sookie�s supposed to be at home.
And then I didn�t strain the sauce twice, so she came here to drive me crazy and she brought her loony husband with her!
Jackson�s here?
How am I missing all of this?
I don�t know, and I don�t care!
I�m through!
I�m not taking this anymore!
What do you mean, you�re not taking it anymore?
What are you going to do?
You want to know what I�m going to do?
Nothing!
Because I am in a relationship with you and you know very well I can�t leave.
All I can do is come out here and say I�m through and pretend I have a leg to stand on and then march back into that kitchen and keep doing the job, but, oh, boy.
I�m going to be thinking about what I would have done if we weren�t in a relationship, even though that would mean I wouldn�t be in this position in the first place.
Excuse me.
Ah, if this is the eccentric couple version of the Amazing Race, I think you guys are winning.
Are we talking to her?
I don�t think we�re talking to her.
Hey, it�s Lorelai!
Girlfriend of Luke, and we�re not talking to Luke.
Well, I�m talking to Lorelai.
How you doing?
Sookie, this is not bed rest.
My feet are up.
I told you not to talk to her.
