DRAGONFLY INN - KITCHEN

[Lorelai slumps over the counter as Sookie pours her a cup of coffee. A man is cooking omelettes next to them.]

LORELAI: Is there something long and sharp sticking out of my head?

SOOKIE: Nope.

LORELAI: I want there to be. If there's an effect, I need a cause.

SOOKIE: The cause was ten giant shots of tequila, Sweetie.

LORELAI: It makes me woozy just hearing that.

SOOKIE: Well, that's the price you pay for being the hit of Lane's wedding!

LORELAI: Hit? I was a raving lunatic! And that toast! [The omelette guy bangs a pan on the counter.] Oh my God, loudest sound ever!

OMELETTE GUY: Sorry.

SOOKIE: Don't worry about the toast. And you weren't a lunatic, you were a character. And what is Stars Hollow if not a haven for colorful characters? I mean, you're not up there with Stevie the pants-less Santa Claus or Jo-Jo the cow whisperer, but you made some strides.

LORELAI: Is this supposed to be a consolation? [Another noise from the omelette guy.] Twice in twenty seconds, Fred.

FRED: Sorry.

SOOKIE: I've seen you wasted before, but not like this. I mean, we had you guzzling coffee, but coffee was just making you energetically wasted.

LORELAI: I should borrow the reception video to see what a fool I made of myself.

SOOKIE: And check out your audition.

LORELAI: My what? [Another noise from Fred. Lorelai snaps.] You want a piece of me, omelette boy?

SOOKIE: Fred, why don't you let the vegetables simmer for a while? I'll - I'll look after them.

FRED: Sure, Sookie.

[He walks out.]

LORELAI: Sorry, Fred, I'm not myself this morning. So, now, what did I do in front of the camera?

SOOKIE: Well, when you spotted the videographer, you got suddenly very excited to film your audition tape for America's Next Top Model.

LORELAI: Oh my God!

SOOKIE: Yeah.

LORELAI: I thought that was a dream!

SOOKIE: It wasn't.

LORELAI: The strutting, the posing, the inappropriate gyrating?

SOOKIE: All caught on video and several of Zach's buddies' camera phones.

LORELAI: Why didn't you stop me?

SOOKIE: I tried, we all tried, but you were on a mission! You kept saying "I'm not here to make friends! I want to win!" and then, after that...

LORELAI: There's an 'after that'?

SOOKIE: You tried to start a limbo contest, a poker game, and a secret club for super cool party people only. None of those things really, you know, took off, especially the limbo contest, considering your choice of limbo stick was Zach's -

LORELAI [joins in, remembering]: Great-uncle's cane! Oh yeah. Is he okay?

SOOKIE: He stumbled, but we caught him! He's fine!

LORELAI: So, is that all? Is there anything else I need to know about?

SOOKIE: Nope. After you crowned yourself arm-wrestling champion of the world, Christopher and Rory scooped you up and got you home. He got you in bed okay?

LORELAI: Christopher? Yeah. Well, he and Rory.

SOOKIE: He's very knight-in-shining-armor. Very chivalrous.

LORELAI: That's him. So, um, is there anything else I did that I need to know about? I want to be fully informed.

SOOKIE: I told you everything.

LORELAI: Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and be nauseous out front for a while.

SOOKIE: Excellent. [She pumps her fist in the air and chants.] Super cool party people bid you supercool adieu! [Lorelai stares blankly.] That's how you were saying goodbye to people at the wedding.

LORELAI: Super. [She leaves.]



OPENING CREDITS



HOSPITAL WARD

[Rory arrives at a nurses station and immediately begins questioning the first person she sees.]

RORY: Excuse me, I'm looking for Logan Huntzberger, he's - [The nurse is on the phone. She points at another nurse walking by.] Excuse me, can you help me find Logan -

RANDOM NURSE: Sorry, this isn't my floor.

RORY [shouts]: Excuse me, can someone here help me find Logan Huntzberger?

ANOTHER NURSE: He was just transferred out of the ICU, room seven thirteen.

RORY: How is he?

NURSE: Are you family?

RORY: I'm his girlfriend.

NURSE: All I can tell you is that he's not conscious right now and that he's in serious but stable condition.

RORY: What does that mean? Serious but stable.

NURSE: Just what it says.

RORY: But is it more serious or stable? I mean, which way is it leaning?

NURSE: Sorry, I can only release more information to family members.

RORY: But I'm his girlfriend. I mean, we've been together a long time. It's not a casual thing, we live together!

NURSE [dismissive]: Sorry.

[Rory walks toward Logan's room and runs into Finn and Colin waiting outside.]

RORY: How is he? Is he okay?

FINN: Scuttlebutt is, he's not dead.

COLIN: The man is indestructible.

FINN: Dives headfirst off the cliffs of Caldera, instantly spins out of control.

COLIN: Gets totally disoriented, barely gets his chute open.

FINN: Bounces off every rock and crag in the park -

COLIN: Yet still manages to stick the landing.

FINN: We gave him a 9.7.

COLIN: Had to deduct three-tenths for all the screaming and bleeding.

RORY: What about his family? Did you talk to them?

COLIN: Honor is on her honeymoon in Mykonos trying to get a flight back, and Logan's mom checked herself into some sort of spa in Arizona the moment she heard.

FINN: When the going gets tough, the tough get hot rock massages.

RORY: What about Mitchum?

FINN: The Dark Lord? We left word but haven't heard anything back.

COLIN: But we've come up with a plan to get around the whole family-only-gets-information thing. We're adopting him.

RORY: What?

FINN: We're going to make a fine son.

COLIN: Of course, first we must be married.

FINN: Naturally, darling, I'm very old-fashioned.

COLIN: And even then, adopting as a gay couple is never easy.

FINN: We just want to give love.

COLIN: Oh, Finn.

FINN: Oh, Buttercup! [They join hands emotionally.]

RORY: What the hell is wrong with you two? Your best friend is lying unconscious in a hospital, and you don't even care!

FINN [taken aback]: Rory.

RORY: Why the hell aren't you two lying unconscious in there, huh?

COLIN [quietly]: Come on.

RORY: You don't care! Because if you did, you wouldn't be like this! You couldn't! You're supposed to have his back, you're supposed to watch out for each other on these stupid trips of yours! But no, everything's a big joke, everything's hilarious! You're useless! Just go home! Both of you, go home! I can't stand to look at you.

[She marches into the hospital room and is stunned to see Logan, bruised and unconscious. A doctor follows her in to check his vitals.]

RORY: Hi.

DOCTOR: Hello.

RORY: I'm Rory Gilmore, I'm his girlfriend.

DOCTOR: I'm Dr. Schultz.

RORY: How is he? Is he going to be okay?

DOCTOR: I'm sorry, but I really can't get into the specifics.

RORY: Well, he's out of the ICU, so that's good, right? They wouldn't have moved him up here unless he was recovering.

DOCTOR: Sorry, really.

RORY: But he's had surgery, right? Does he need more surgery? Does he have broken bones? Because I can donate blood if you want!

DOCTOR: Miss.

RORY: You really - you can't tell me anything about what he has or what you've done, or what's wrong? Anything?

DOCTOR: I'm sorry. It's hospital policy. We're doing everything we can.

[He leaves.]

RORY: Okay. [She stares at Logan.]



STARS HOLLOW STREET

[The troubador is singing.]

TROUBADOR [sings]: A million hearts, a million minds that lived and died in forty years. Pray for yourself and for your memories, be thankful we've had forty years. We've had forty years! We've had forty years! We've had forty years!



LUKE'S DINER

[Caesar takes an order. Luke comes around the counter.]

CAESAR: I will get that for you in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

LUKE: Caesar! Why am I still finding bananas in the fridge?

CAESAR: Oh, you wanted me to take all the bananas out of the fridge?

LUKE: Yes. When I said "remove the bananas" I was referring to all the bananas, otherwise I would have said a banana, or some of the bananas.

CAESAR: Hmm.

LUKE: What?

CAESAR: It's just that, when I was running the place? That was one of my innovations. Cold bananas. People really love them.

LUKE: I highly doubt that. And get rid of those scones!

CAESAR: You know, that's something else I wanted to talk to you about, Luke.

LUKE: What?

CAESAR: Your attitude. See, while I was running the place, people really responded to my sunny demeanor. Customers find you cold and distant. Service with a smile! It's a cliché for a reason.

LUKE: Yeah. Look, Caesar, uh, I don't want to improve things, and I don't want to stop being cold to the customers. I just want you to keep my damn bananas out of the damn fridge and I want you to keep the damn donuts in the damn donut case. Can you do that for me?

CAESAR: Of course, Luke.

LUKE: Thank you.

CAESAR [heads back to the kitchen, muttering]: Customers don't care for gratuitous profanity either.

[Luke turns to the door as Lorelai enters. He spreads his arms wide.]

LUKE: Thank God, someone sane.

LORELAI: Hello, weary traveller! [They hug and kiss.]

LUKE: It's good to be back.

LORELAI: You look older, wiser.

LUKE: Well, I did spend a lot of time squinting at historical documents.

LORELAI: That's what it is, Constitution Face! Hi, Patty!

LUKE: Oh, I brought you something! [He pulls a gift bag out from under the counter.]

LORELAI: Aw, did you steal me the Constitution? That could be the start of a really dumb movie.

LUKE: It's from Amish country. These little Amish girls hand-make them.

LORELAI [pulls out a doll]: Oh, it's adorable! Look, Patty, an Amish voodoo doll.

PATTY: I love it. Hey, Luke, I'm still waiting on my cold banana!

LUKE: We don't serve cold bananas, it's not a voodoo doll. It's just a doll, the Amish don't put faces on their dolls or pins in them.

LORELAI: Oh, well. It's my doll now. What the Amish don't know won't hurt them. Unless, of course, I want to hurt them.

LUKE: It's yours to do with what you will.

LORELAI: So, you seem surprisingly rested after all you've been through!

LUKE: Yeah, the kids were okay, they seemed to like me, unless they were all lying.

LORELAI: Kids never lie.

LUKE: And April and I finally got into a good rhythm. She was tolerating me pretty good at the end.

LORELAI: Good.

LUKE: And guess what? It's her birthday tomorrow, and I'm throwing her a party.

LORELAI: You're kidding! How did that happen?

LUKE: Well, I was dropping her off this morning, and her mom mentioned to me that she was taking her to her grandmother's to celebrate and she couldn't swing a party here with her friends, so I figured, I know her friends now, I have a great place to hold a party.

LORELAI: Where?

LUKE: Here.

LORELAI: Oh.

LUKE: So anyhow, there you go.

LORELAI: Look at you. Diving into fatherhood.

LUKE: I'm doing my best.

LORELAI: Tomorrow, huh? Are you prepared for all that?

LUKE: Sure, why?

LORELAI: Well, if you need a consultant, I have thrown some rockin' pre-teen parties in my time. Of course, I didn't have a deep-fryer, but -

LUKE: I think I can handle it. I'll put up some decorations. I've ordered some balloons, I got a great cake place, there'll be presents.

LORELAI: All good. I'm just saying that Rory's birthday scavenger hunt of 1998 is still talked about in hushed, reverent tones.

LUKE: Is that the one where all the kids ended up at Taylor's at eleven o'clock at night, stealing stuff out of the fridge?

LORELAI: Sh! Hushed, reverent tones!

LUKE: Yeah, I've got it all under control. Excuse me. [He goes to take Kirk's order.] What can I get you, Kirk?

KIRK: How about a steaming cup of chicory coffee?

LUKE: It's not on the menu, Kirk.

KIRK: It's on the sign.

LUKE [turns around to read the sign]: That's a mistake. [He takes it down.]

KIRK: Well, now all I can think about is chicory coffee. I'm very susceptible to signage.

LUKE: Well, come back when you're susceptible to ordering off the menu. [He turns back to Lorelai.] You want anything?

LORELAI [reading a sign]: How about a nice plate of chicken fingers?

LUKE [rips down the sign]: Why don't I start you off with some coffee?

LORELAI: Um, no thanks. I'm kind of coffee-d out.

LUKE: Oh, right. Battling the hangover.

LORELAI: Oh. Did I mention my hangover?

LUKE: No, Patty filled me in, you know. The tequila shots, you taking the mic.

LORELAI: Taking the mic. Uh, yeah. I um - I really didn't know what I was saying. Just empty, meaningless words, you know, tumbling out of my mouth.

LUKE: I hear you really belted it out.

LORELAI: Belted it out?

LUKE: Endless Love.

PATTY: The song, honey.

LORELAI: Oh-oh. Yeah! [She chuckles, catching on.] Oh. Oh, yes, I really belted it out. Is there any other way to sing Endless Love? You know, if you're not going to really belt it out, you might as well stay in your seat.

PATTY: She sang it beautifully.

LUKE: Well, everybody does embarrassing stuff at weddings.

LORELAI: Yeah. Right. True.

LUKE: Be right back. [He heads into the back.]

PATTY: Okay, I've already gotten to the whole town, and they're all telling the Endless Love story. He'll never know.

LORELAI: Oh, thanks. I owe you, Patty.

PATTY: Oh, honey, please. I've given more drunken toasts than Colin Farrell. You owe me nothing.

LORELAI: Thanks, Patty.

PATTY: That Luke. It may take a mule team, but you're getting him to the altar someday.

LORELAI: Yeah, someday.

[Patty returns to her seat. Lorelai looks depressed.]



HOSPITAL

[Rory sits in a waiting area. She takes out her cell phone and calls Paris. The scene cuts between Rory and Paris, who is highlighting a textbook.]

PARIS: What?

RORY: Paris?

PARIS: Larry Summers was right, Rory. Our university system is crumbling, did you know that?

RORY: Paris -

PARIS: I just found out my microbiology final is an open book exam. Can you believe that? I mean, why have us take the test at all? Why not just have our professors take it for us? Or better yet, they could just hand us our diplomas the moment we step on campus freshman year, along with some government cheese, a bong, and a t-shirt that says 'Hard Work is for Suckers'.

RORY: Paris. I'm at the hospital with Logan.

PARIS: Why? What happened?

RORY: He and his buddies went on some stupid Life and Death Brigade trip and they parachuted off a cliff in Costa Rica and he had a really bad fall.

PARIS: Is he okay?

RORY: I don't know. He's out of the ICU, so I guess that's a good thing. They said he's in serious but stable condition, but they won't tell me anything else because I'm not family.

PARIS: Is he breathing on his own?

RORY: Yeah. I mean, I think so.

PARIS: Well, what's his pallor? Is he peaked? Was there internal bleeding?

RORY: I have no idea! I quickly scribbled down some things off his chart. Um, you're pre-med. Can I read it to you? Maybe you can make some sense of it.

PARIS: Forget it. I don't know how to read charts yet. I can tell you everything you want to know about the difference between recessive and dominant eye color genes in fruit flies, but God forbid I learn how to read a chart before I'm a fourth year surgical resident.

RORY: Great.

PARIS: What hospital is he in?

RORY: Columbia Presbyterian, Manhattan.

PARIS: Who's the attending?

RORY: Paris, it doesn't matter. They're not going to release information to non-family.

PARIS: Just give me the name.

RORY: Dr. Schultz.

PARIS: I'll call you right back.

RORY: Paris -

[Paris hangs up on her. Rory hangs up sadly. She glances down the hall as the phone rings at the nurses station. The nurse answers it.]

NURSE: Seventh-floor nurses station. Miss, please! Well, that language is certainly not necessary! [The doctor walks by and she hands him the phone.] It's about Logan Huntzberger.

DOCTOR: This is Dr. Schultz. Ah, no, that's not possible.

[We can't hear any more, but Rory is watching intently. The doctor speaks for a few more minutes and then hangs up the phone, looking thoroughly browbeaten. Her cell phone rings.]

RORY: Hello?

PARIS: Here's the deal. He was bleeding internally when they brought him in and they were worried about the oxygen levels in his blood, but he's stabilized now and they're back up to normal so that's no longer a concern. He was also running a high fever, so they put him on mondo doses of intravenous antibiotics. He has a partially collapsed lung -

RORY: Oh my God!

PARIS: Six broken ribs, a broken ankle, torn cartilage in his knees and a severe concussion. [Rory looks horrified.] He had surgery for the lung and that went well. They did a thoracoscopy, which is a couple of small incisions in the chest. Then they put a tube into the lung to drain the fluid into the pleural space so the lung can re-expand. That's way less invasive than a thoracotomy which is a similar operation, but for that one they have to butterfly you like a shrimp. And that's it.

RORY: So what does this mean?

PARIS: It means he's out of immediate danger. He's young and healthy and they expect him to make a full recovery.

RORY: Really. Like, a full recovery? Like, he's going to recover, fully?

PARIS: That's what the doctor told me. He'll need some rehab. He won't be running, dancing, or jumping off a cliff anytime soon, but, yeah, he should be fine. He's a very lucky guy, he could have died. Those guys are idiots.

RORY: Wow.

PARIS: Yeah.

RORY: Thank you, so much for this. Really, Paris. Thank you.

PARIS: It was fun. Anything else?

RORY: No, I feel a lot better.

PARIS: Call me if you need anything else.

RORY: I will.

[They hang up.]



STARS HOLLOW STREET

[Lorelai and Luke walk along, Luke carrying several shopping bags.]

LORELAI: So, are you all shopped out?

LUKE: Eh, I got a couple more stores in me.

LORELAI: You know, you would make the best Sherpa. And the hottest. You could move to Nepal and open your own Hot Sherpa Shop and make a fortune.

LUKE: Eh, this is fun for me. Besides, I like to think I have some influence on what you buy.

LORELAI [incredulous]: You do?

LUKE: I don't?

LORELAI: Uh, no.

LUKE: Yes I do!

LORELAI: No you don't.

LUKE: I do!

LORELAI: You don't!

LUKE: But you're always asking my opinion.

LORELAI: Yeah, but it's the way I ask. "Isn't this adorable?" or "This isn't right, right?" You know? I put your answer right there in the question.

LUKE: Oh.

LORELAI: I will say, I do always like to buy one thing that you like that I don't, just because I know it makes you happy. Like that blouse.

LUKE: You don't like that? I thought you liked that.

LORELAI: Not really, but I liked how much you liked it, so I bought it.

LUKE: Huh.

LORELAI: And I will wear it, because I know that every time I do, you'll notice and appreciate it, and that'll make me feel so good, and then because I feel so good, I'll start wearing it more and more, and I'll eventually really grow to like it and I'll forget that I didn't really like it in the first place, and - holy crap. You've picked out all my favorite clothes.

LUKE: I knew it. Hey, what do you think of that? [He points out a toiletry set in a shop window.] The toiletry kit.

LORELAI: What! And throw away the five-year-old Dixie cup you use to hold your toothbrush? It's historical!

LUKE: I mean as a birthday present for April.

LORELAI [laughing]: April who?

LUKE: Come on. It's cute.

LORELAI: Um, yeah. I don't think it's quite right.

LUKE: It's girly. It's got cats on it.

LORELAI: Oh, well, if it's got cats on it...

LUKE: April likes cats.

LORELAI: Yeah, but it's a toiletry kit. It's so... hygienic.

LUKE: I saw her use soap on the trip.

LORELAI: Yeah, did you see her tie her shoelaces? 'Cause you could get her shoelaces.

LUKE: I think she'll like it.

LORELAI: Luke, it's weird. It says "Happy birthday, now go clean yourself up".

LUKE: Well, if she doesn't like it, I'll get her a follow-up gift.

LORELAI: Why not just get her the perfect gift right up front?

LUKE: Why couldn't that be the perfect gift? You don't know.

LORELAI: I know girls. It's not the right gift. Hey, you know, there's a store a few blocks down that has great stuff. I could take you there and show you fifty things I know she'd like. Some might even have cats on them.

LUKE: I think I'm going to get that.

LORELAI: Come on, Luke, I can really help you here.

LUKE: I'm not saying you can't. I know you're an expert, but... I need to do this.

LORELAI: Then do it. I'm just saying. Let me be part of it.

LUKE [hesitates]: No.

LORELAI: Why?

LUKE: Because it's too soon.

LORELAI: Why is it too soon?

LUKE: Because the minute you get involved in her life it'll be all over for me.

LORELAI [gapes at him]: What? That's ridiculous.

LUKE: No. It's not ridiculous. You're colorful and funny. You're practically a cartoon character. [She looks offended.] Kids love you. I wouldn't want to hang out with me either, after meeting you.

LORELAI: Luke!

LUKE: She'll like you better. That is just a fact.

LORELAI: No! You're her dad.

LUKE: Yes. I am her dad. And this is the way I want it to be.

LORELAI: Okay.

LUKE: I'll be a couple of minutes.

LORELAI: I'll be right here.

[Luke goes into the store. Lorelai looks hurt.]



LUKE'S DINER

[The diner is full of pre-teen girls. Luke walks with Anna toward the door.]

ANNA: So you've got my cell phone if there's any problem.

LUKE: I've got your cell number, your store number, your store fax number, your home numbers. You are one hundred percent reachable.

ANNA: Good.

LUKE: And hey. Thanks again for letting me do this.

ANNA: Oh, please. She's excited about this. Plus your chaperoning got rave reviews.

LUKE [surprised]: Really?

ANNA: April said you were by far the least embarrassing parent on the trip.

LUKE: Good. That's good, right?

ANNA: It's a rave! Her friends call you Hagrid.

LUKE: Really? Hagrid? Wow. [He clears his throat.] I have no idea what that means.

ANNA: He's a character from Harry Potter. Very big, very hairy, very lovable. It's a huge compliment.

LUKE: Oh, I will take your word for it.

ANNA: So. I'm going to go now. Have fun and I'll talk to you later tonight.

LUKE: Will do.

ANNA: I'm going, April!

APRIL [waves her off]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, bye, Mom.

ANNA: That was from the heart.

LUKE: Totally. [They laugh.]

ANNA: Bye, again. [She opens the door.] And the diner looks really great. I was here when you opened it, remember?

LUKE [fondly]: I remember.

ANNA: Bye.

[She leaves. Luke turns to the kids.]

LUKE: Okay, can I get everyone's attention for a moment here? Just go ahead and pull your chairs around so everyone can see me.

GIRL: Is this the game?

LUKE: No, no games right now. Just gather. All right, I'm Luke. Hi. Some of you know me. April's dad. [They cheer for April.] So, um, before we get the party started, I just wanted to lay down some ground rules. Some simple dos and don'ts so that everybody has a good time and goes home in one piece.

[He takes a deep breath.] Okay! So. [He takes a flight attendant stance and signals with his arms.] This is the party area. You are to remain in the party area at all times. The kitchen is strictly off-limits. Under no circumstances are you to enter the kitchen. It's incredibly dangerous back there. One turn of the wrong dial and you could burn your face off. I've got so many knives back there, you so much as trip you could lose an arm, you could chop off a bunch of fingers, you could poke out an eye. And do not go upstairs. That is not part of the party area. Everyone must remain in the party area at all times. And finally, do not go outside. I will not give anybody permission to go outside. Okay? Are we clear?

GIRLS [frightened and hesitant]: All right. Okay. Yeah. Yes, sir.

LUKE: Well, good. Then, that's all I've got. So have fun.

GIRLS: Uh-huh? What?

[They all look at each other, baffled.]



DRAGONFLY INN - FRONT DESK

[Lorelai walks up to Michel, who is working on the computer.]

LORELAI: Is that our website?

MICHEL: It is.

LORELAI: What happened to it?

MICHEL: I made some modifications.

LORELAI [horrified]: It's just a big picture of you!

MICHEL: Well, I figured since I'm the one who put the website together, and I'm the one continuously updating the website, then I should be featured prominently on the website.

LORELAI: Featured, sure, but where is the inn? All I see is your face.

MICHEL: Aha. But if you want to hear about the inn, you click on my mouth.

MICHEL [on the computer]: Welcome to the Dragonfly.

MICHEL: See? And if you want pictures of the inn, you click on my eyes, and if you want to post something about the inn you click on my ears. [He laughs.] Clever, no?

LORELAI: You want to argue about this now or later?

MICHEL: Oh, later. I'm having too much fun.

[Lorelai's cell phone rings.]

LORELAI: Hello?

RORY: It's me.

LORELAI [gently]: Hey! How is he?

RORY: Well, I'm told he's going to be fine, but he looks awful and he's been unconscious the whole time I've been here. It's really scary.

LORELAI: Aw. What happened?

RORY: He basically jumped off a cliff and his parachute barely opened.

LORELAI: Oh my God!

RORY: Yeah. He has six broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a broken ankle, contusions over a third of his body and a concussion.

LORELAI: Wow. Who else is there? What other family?

RORY: Colin and Finn were here for a while, but none of his family's here.

LORELAI: How'd you get all that information? I thought they only allowed family members to -

RORY [proudly]: Paris.

LORELAI: God love her.

RORY: I'm sorry I didn't call you sooner. I got your messages. I've just been so overwhelmed.

LORELAI: I'm just glad to hear from you. Is there anything I can do? Anything you need? It's been awhile since I sent out a care package. You could be up to your eyeballs in mad libs, silly string, malted milk balls?

RORY: No, I'm good. Colin and Finn went back to New Haven to get some stuff for me. I think I'm just going to hang out here for a while.

NURSE [interrupts softly]: Logan is awake, if you want to see him.

RORY: Oh! Mom, Logan is awake!

LORELAI: Okay! Call me if there's anything you need!

RORY: Thanks! Bye!

LORELAI: Bye. [She hangs up and sighs.]



LOGAN'S HOSPITAL ROOM

[Rory walks over to the bed.]

RORY: Hey!

LOGAN: Hey.

RORY: You're awake.

LOGAN: Or hallucinating. A pretty good hallucination.

RORY [relieved]: Oh, you're awake.

LOGAN: I must look like crap.

RORY: Well, now I know why you never let me see you without your makeup on.

LOGAN: I guess maybe base jumping with very little preparation wasn't the hottest idea.

RORY: You'll be fine. You're going to make a full recovery.

LOGAN: Hey, Robocop made a full recovery. Look where that lead him.

RORY: This is the best hospital in the city. And the best hospital in New York City is basically the best hospital in the country. And that's basically the best hospital in the world, so, all in all, you're in the best place you could be, all things considered.

[Logan tries to sit up and groans.]

RORY: Hey, what do you think you're doing? Lay down.

LOGAN: I'm really sorry about this.

RORY: It's okay.

LOGAN: No. It's not okay. I was showing off. I knew it wasn't safe on that cliff. I was so drunk, I was lucky I pulled my chute at all.

RORY: But you're going to be fine. And I will be here as long as you want me to be. I've already located the gift shop and the good cafeteria, good being a relative term. And the maternity ward, in case I want to play a little practical joke, swap the newborns around.

LOGAN: What about the paper? School?

RORY: I have my laptop. I can stay on top of my schoolwork, and Bill can run the paper for a while.

LOGAN: I don't want you to fall behind and miss too many classes. You've already got more than enough to do without having to sit here -

RORY: Sh. Logan. Just relax. Get some rest. I'll be here.

LOGAN [softly]: I'm glad.



LUKE'S DINER

[The girls are sitting around playing cards and reading, bored.]

LUKE: So, how are we doing? Are we having fun?

[No response.]

APRIL: Marcia, you have to discard.

MARCIA: I know, but you only need one card and I don't want to give it to you.

APRIL: What makes you think I only need one card?

MARCIA: Oh, please, you pick up a card and discard like every half second. It's so obvious.

APRIL: Well, it's my birthday. Just give me the stupid card I want.

LUKE: Hey, how do you think the temperature is? '

APRIL: It's fine, I guess.

LUKE: Are you cold? Maybe it's too cold in here. How many people are cold? Huh? [The girls stare at him.] Anyone too warm? [No response.] Okay, well. Good to know.

GIRL [steps forward, unsure]: Um, Luke? Can I go to the bathroom?

LUKE: Of course! You don't have to ask permission to go to the bathroom.

GIRL: But it's in the restricted area. I could lose a finger.

LUKE: Oh! Oh, well, the bathroom is not part of the restricted area. I didn't mean to include that. Does anyone else have to go to the bathroom? [They all raise their hands.] Oh! All right! Well, let's line up. You can use the bathroom one at a time, and you first.

GIRL: Thank you!

[The girls line up.]

LUKE: I'll be right out, I just have to check on something in the back.

[He goes into the storage room. At the Dragonfly, Lorelai's phone rings.]

LORELAI: Dragonfly Inn!

LUKE: It's a disaster!

LORELAI: What?

LUKE: The party. It's a total disaster.

LORELAI: A disaster, why?

LUKE: Nothing's happening. It's like a funeral hall in there. I didn't know thirteen year old girls could be so unhappy.

LORELAI: Where are you? I don't hear anything.

LUKE: I'm in the storage room. I come in here and hide a lot.

LORELAI: And leaving them unsupervised?

LUKE: Well, there's a peep-hole here I can see out of.

LORELAI: You're peeping at the girls from the storage room?

LUKE: I do not have time for any weird jokes!

LORELAI: Okay. What are they doing?

LUKE [peeps out at them]: Well, April was playing cards, some of the others were reading and playing video games. At the moment, they're all just standing in line, waiting to go to the bathroom.

LORELAI: You didn't plan any activities?

LUKE: It's a birthday party! I thought that was the activity!

LORELAI: Oh, Luke.

LUKE: Hey, is it normal for kids to fall asleep at a birthday party?

LORELAI: Listen. Are you listening?

LUKE: Yes.

LORELAI: Go upstairs and get your clock radio.

LUKE: Why, so we can watch the minutes of the world's worst birthday party tick off one by one?

LORELAI: No. Go get it, bring it downstairs and put on some music. KC 101. I'll be right over.

LUKE: You're coming here?

LORELAI: Just stall for time. I have some things to finish up and then I'll come over. If it's okay.

LUKE: What?

LORELAI: Is it okay that I come over?

LUKE: Yes, Lorelai! Come! Hurry!

LORELAI [smiles cutely]: Okay, I'll hurry!

LUKE: Hurry faster. They might start leaving or something.

LORELAI: Okay. Bye.



LUKE'S DINER - OUTSIDE

[Lorelai walks up the sidewalk. Luke opens the blinds and sees her and rushes out.]

LORELAI: Hey.

LUKE: So it got worse after we hung up.

LORELAI: You get the radio?

LUKE: No, I forgot the radio part is broken and the buzzer alarm went off at one point. There was a slight uptick in the mood but that didn't last long. I think it's too late!

LORELAI: It's not too late.

LUKE: I swear I heard the word 'mutiny' bandied around in there.

LORELAI: It's not too late. Let's get in there!

LUKE: But - where's the stuff?

LORELAI: What stuff?

LUKE: The party stuff!

LORELAI: Oh my God, I left the circus elephants in my car and I didn't crack a window!

LUKE: But seriously, where's the party stuff?

LORELAI: Come on, follow my lead. Come on.

[She bursts into the diner, followed by Luke.]

LORELAI: Hey everybody! I'm Lorelai Gilmore, thank you so much for your patience. I'm really glad you guys waited to start the party until I got here! [She nudges Luke.]

LUKE: Oh, um, that's okay, Lorelai, we didn't mind. Right, girls?

LORELAI: Great! Okay, let's get this party started, where's the birthday girl?

APRIL: Here!

LORELAI: April Nardini, front and center! [She beckons April to stand over by her.] You know, I, uh, met you briefly. You were filling salt and pepper shakers. [She pulls a fuzzy tiara out of her purse and places it on April's head.]

APRIL: I remember. You were dressed in all black and you had really blue eyes. They're not quite as blue today, but I think that's just the light thing.

LORELAI: These irises are all natural, baby. [She spins her around.] All right, everybody, line up single file behind us!

APRIL: Oh, we already went to the bathroom.

LORELAI: I know, this is going to be so much better. Now, take the hand of the person in front of you, and the person in back of you. Luke, you pull up the rear, I'll take the lead.

LUKE: Sure. What is this?

LORELAI: Just follow me, everybody. No matter what, do not let go of either hand.

[She opens the door.]

GIRL: We're not allowed to go outside.

GIRL: Or in the kitchen.

GIRL: Or anywhere else.

LORELAI: What?

LUKE: You are now, girls. We've got new rules.

APRIL: Should we bring our stuff?

LORELAI: No, leave it. We'll be back.

[They start moving.]

LUKE: Now, everybody try to walk at the same pace. You step on somebody's heels, you could break an ankle. And watch out for the traffic. Not just cars, but bikes. People in this town ride their bikes like maniacs.

LORELAI: Luke!

LUKE: Sorry!

[They make their way down the street, the girls giggling.]

LORELAI: Oh, check for traffic, always check, and go!

GIRL: Where are we going?

APRIL: No idea!

LORELAI: Serpentine, girls, serpentine!

[The line of screaming, giggling girls weaves around on the sidewalk.]

LUKE: Is this wise, to serpentine?

LORELAI: No!

[They enter a beauty supply shop and pile in in front of the salespeople, who are ready and waiting with baskets.]

SALES WOMAN #1: Hi, Lorelai!

LORELAI: Hi!

SALES WOMAN #2: Hey, girls!

LORELAI: All right, I'd like you to meet the birthday girl!

SALES WOMEN [together]: Hi, April. [They curtsy.]

SALES WOMAN # 1: Happy birthday.

APRIL: Hello!

SALES WOMAN #2: Oh, you are adorable.

LORELAI: All right, girls, I want you each to take a basket and fill it up. I want you to pick anything you want because today we're getting makeovers!

[They scream and jump up and down.]

LORELAI: These two ladies are here to help you in any way you need. That's Allison and Leslie. [They wave.] On your mark, get set, and shop!

[They run around, shopping and having fun.]

LUKE: You're a genius.

LORELAI: Well, thirteen year old girls and makeup. It's like betting on Secretariat.

LUKE: Never in a million years would I have thought of something like this.

LORELAI: That's why I'm the Yin to your Yang. The Emac to your Bolio. Hey, who wants hot pink highlights!

GIRLS: Oh, me, me , me!



HOSPITAL WAITING AREA

[Rory is on the phone.]

RORY: I hate that you're cutting your honeymoon short.

HONOR: It's okay. With Mom flaking out, I don't want to be here anymore. We've got seats on a flight going out tonight, but it's got a five-hour layover in Angora, so we're still trying to find something more direct. Either way, we should be there some time tomorrow night.

RORY: Okay. So, have you heard anything more from your dad?

HONOR: Yeah, I just talked to him.

RORY: So, is he coming down here?

HONOR: Nope.

RORY: He's out of town too?

HONOR: No, he's home. He's just not coming.

RORY: What?

HONOR: It's the whole Life and Death Brigade thing. He's very against it.

RORY: But he was in the Life and Death Brigade.

HONOR: Yes, but he feels that he knew when to grow up and accept responsibility and that Logan doesn't. He wanted his precious boy done with that by now. So he's boycotting.

RORY: Boycotting his injured son? Logan had emergency surgery!

HONOR: Hypocrisy runs very deep in the Huntzberger family. Anyhow, forget it. I'm sure Logan isn't expecting him. Okay, so, I'll call later when I have more flight information?

RORY: Okay. Bye.

[She hangs up and looks thoughtful. She takes Logan's phone out of her pocket and looks through it. She dials a number, looking ready for a fight.]

RORY: Mitchum Huntzberger? Yes. It's Rory Gilmore. I just thought I'd call and remind you that Logan is lying in a hospital bed with a partially collapsed lung and a whole host of other potentially life-threatening injuries and I'm figuring a guy like you, surrounded by nothing but a bunch of terrified sycophants might not have someone in his life with the guts to tell him what an incredibly selfish, narcissistic ass he's being. So I thought I'd jump on in. [Shouting] Swallow your pride, get in your car and come down here and see your son! Now!



LUKE'S DINER

[Lorelai crosses the diner, watching the girls have fun with their makeup.]

LORELAI: That looks excellent. [She gasps.] Marcia! Fabulous! You look like Sophia Loren.

MARCIA: I was going for Vanessa Manillo on MTV.

LORELAI: Ah, I love her music.

MARCIA: She's a veejay.

LORELAI: Oh, you didn't let me finish. I love her music video introductions. You know, she's so smooth and classy. Uh, Luke, more chips here!

LUKE [calls from the kitchen]: Coming!

GIRL: Lorelai, check this out. [She closes her eyes to show her the eyeshadow.]

LORELAI: Ew, cool. Your eyes have eyes.

GIRL: Freaky, right?

LORELAI: Yes. You could fall asleep in class and no one would know. [Luke replaces the empty chip bowl with a full one. She smiles at him.]

APRIL: Lorelai!

LORELAI: Oh, April, you look beautiful!

APRIL: Leslie says I have excellent bone structure.

LORELAI: Yes. Well, I agree with her.

APRIL: So it's not weird when someone compliments your skull?

LORELAI: No. A woman takes any compliment that comes her way.

APRIL: Got it. Hey, did you do that glitter heart on your cheek?

LORELAI: Happens to be my handiwork, yeah. You want one?

APRIL: Yeah.

LORELAI: All right, sit, sit. Uh, what color would you like? Pink, blue, purple, flourescent green?

APRIL: Purple. I'm obsessed with purple. Probably because I'm obsessed with Harold and the Purple Crayon. I know I'm too old, but it's still like one of my all-time favorite books.

LORELAI: That's okay. I'm too old for US Weekly, never stopped me.

APRIL: So, you have a daughter, right?

LORELAI: Yes, Rory.

APRIL: That's good. You'd be wasted on a son.

LORELAI: I'm going to take that as a compliment.

APRIL: It is. You know, you remind me of my mom.

LORELAI: Oh, is she handy with the glitter?

APRIL: She painted a mural on my wall in nail polish one night.

LORELAI [chuckles]: That's cool.

APRIL: I think you'd like her.

LORELAI [appears surprised]: All right, you're all done.

APRIL: Thanks! [She gets up.]



LUKE'S DINER - LATER

[April is opening her gifts. Kirk is in the background setting up a movie screen.]

APRIL: Oh my God, that's so cool. I love it! Thanks, Marcia!

MARCIA: You're welcome!

LORELAI [to Luke]: She's loving her presents.

LUKE: I know!

APRIL [scans the table]: Okay, how about this one?

GIRL: It's from your dad.

MARCIA: Yeah, open that!

LUKE [steps up nervously]: Uh, you know, you don't have to open up all your presents right away. You could maybe save a few and open them tomorrow, sort of extend the experience.

GIRL: Bad idea, Hagrid.

APRIL: I don't want to extend the experience.

[She begins opening it. Luke steps back and chews his thumbnail.]

LUKE [to Lorelai]: Wait, is that my gift?

LORELAI: It says it's from Luke.

APRIL [looks at the cover of the book]: The New Way Things Work! I was going to get this! [Luke is surprised. Lorelai smiles.] And a certificate to the Discovery Store! Thanks, Luke! [She jumps up and hugs him.] I love it! Thank you so much.

LUKE [pleased]: You're welcome! [April sits back down. He turns to Lorelai.] Thank you.

LORELAI: My pleasure. You know what would really push this party over the top?

LUKE: What?

LORELAI: If we made it into a sleepover.

LUKE: Yeah?

LORELAI: Yeah. You've got sleeping bags and blankets.

LUKE: Plus I've still got Jess's bed. We could stick a couple of them on that.

LORELAI: Why don't you ask the birthday girl if she wants to do that?

LUKE: Hey, April, come here a sec.

APRIL: What's up?

LUKE: How would you feel about making this a slumber party?

APRIL [excited]: Really?

LUKE: Really.

APRIL [to the girls]: Do you guys want to sleep over?

GIRLS: Yeah!

LUKE: Great. First off, we've got to call all your parents to see if it's okay with them. Okay? So, with that in mind, why don't we form a single file line behind here to the phone -- [He glances over and sees all the girls pulling out their cell phones.] -- or you could use your own, I guess.

LORELAI: Hey, so um, I think I'm going to take off.

LUKE: What? No. Stay. You've got to stay.

LORELAI: Are you sure?

LUKE: It's a slumber party. You're the slumber party expert. What does Hagrid know about slumber parties?

LORELAI: It'll be weird, the two of us sleeping together?

LUKE: Come on, you and the girls can sleep upstairs. I'll figure something out.

LORELAI: Sure?

LUKE: Yeah, absolutely! You have to stay. April would want that.

LORELAI: Okay, I'll stay.

KIRK: The movie's all ready to go.

LORELAI: Okay, thanks Kirk.

KIRK: I just need it back for the Weinstein retirement party. Mel Weinstein's a nut for John Hughes movies.

LORELAI [in speech mode]: All right, girls. Um, you're about to meet someone very special to me. Her name is Molly Ringwald. Now, I know you don't know who that is, but suffice it to say she is my generation's Audrey Hepburn. And I know you don't know who that is either, but trust me, you're gonna love her. And yes, that is the guy from Two and a Half Men. All right. Enjoy!

[Luke shuts off the lights and Kirk starts up the projector. Pretty in Pink begins.]

Je suis d'accord, on le comprend mais ça n'excuse pas tout ! Et la base d'un couple qui dure, c'est quand même le dialogue.

stephe  (26.06.2020 à 21:37)

ouais, on comprend Luke mais quand même ! il aurait pu l'inclure, ça n'excuse pas tout son comportement je trouve! 

labelette  (26.06.2020 à 12:22)

On comprend ENFIN pourquoi Luke ne voulait pas qu'April et Lorelai passent du temps ensemble ! Il a peur qu'April préfère Lorelai... Il aurait dû le lui dire tout de suite, ça aurait été tellement plus simple ! Et sa réaction est finalement assez compréhensible, une fois qu'on a les explications.

Finalement, heureusement que Lorelai est intervenue lors de la fête d'anniversaire, ça a évité aux filles de s'ennuyer.

Rory parle à Logan et s'en veut... Lui aussi... Mais ça va mieux entre eux et il va s'en sortir, c'est le principal !

Paris a fait du grand Paris et réussi à avoir des informations du médecin.
