[Singing Peace Train]
2
00:00:11,084 --> 00:00:12,756
Coming through, heavy packs!
3
00:00:12,918 --> 00:00:14,873
Out of our way, peace boy!
4
00:00:15,376 --> 00:00:17,888
No offense, love
the song, carry on.
5
00:00:25,045 --> 00:00:26,920
And wuss patrol, halt.
6
00:00:28,045 --> 00:00:29,876
I have never known such pain.
7
00:00:30,046 --> 00:00:33,195
We are so not walking around
Europe with those things on our backs.
8
00:00:33,421 --> 00:00:36,376
How are we going to backpack
through Europe without backpacks?
9
00:00:36,588 --> 00:00:39,896
When we talked about backpacking,
I never pictured us with backpacks.
10
00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:41,528
What were you picturing?
11
00:00:41,672 --> 00:00:45,025
Spry, accommodating European
men with neat mustaches...
12
00:00:45,256 --> 00:00:48,212
trailing after us, carrying
our luggage, hailing taxicabs...
13
00:00:48,423 --> 00:00:50,254
reminding us of
how beautiful we are.
14
00:00:50,424 --> 00:00:52,982
It's just the two of us
humping our backpacks around.
15
00:00:54,008 --> 00:00:56,725
At least my new walking
shoes are all broken in.
16
00:00:56,925 --> 00:00:59,722
- If you count broken skin, broken toes...
- Don't do that.
17
00:00:59,926 --> 00:01:00,617
Don't do what?
18
00:01:00,629 --> 00:01:02,564
Don't take your shoes
off in a restaurant.
19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,795
There's no "no shirt, no
shoes, no service" sign.
20
00:01:04,968 --> 00:01:07,401
- It's right here. Don't do that.
- We're in pain, Luke.
21
00:01:07,594 --> 00:01:10,390
It's great you're bearing it so
nobly. And can you move these?
22
00:01:10,594 --> 00:01:13,186
- Can? No.
- Would if we could? Debatable.
23
00:01:15,136 --> 00:01:17,331
Look at that. Spry
and accommodating.
24
00:01:17,512 --> 00:01:19,899
Would you grow a mustache
and follow us around Europe?
25
00:01:20,096 --> 00:01:22,166
- Sorry, I got travel plans of my own.
- Really?
26
00:01:22,346 --> 00:01:25,257
I'm closing the diner for two
weeks and taking Nicole on a trip.
27
00:01:25,472 --> 00:01:26,506
Fun.
28
00:01:26,639 --> 00:01:29,708
We'll drive through western Canada,
then take a cruise up to Alaska.
29
00:01:29,931 --> 00:01:31,443
- A cruise?
- Intimate.
30
00:01:31,598 --> 00:01:32,792
I guess. Is it?
31
00:01:32,932 --> 00:01:35,133
[Singing] The Love Boat What?
32
00:01:35,265 --> 00:01:37,732
A cruise is a good spot
to get down on one knee.
33
00:01:37,933 --> 00:01:40,604
- And do my ventriloquist act?
- And propose.
34
00:01:40,808 --> 00:01:43,685
- I have no plans to propose.
- You don't now.
35
00:01:43,892 --> 00:01:46,484
After you've had dinner
at Captain Stubing's table...
36
00:01:46,684 --> 00:01:48,913
and Isaac's served
you a couple of Mojitos...
37
00:01:49,101 --> 00:01:50,852
Romantic cruises say commitment.
38
00:01:51,018 --> 00:01:53,769
I am not committing and I
am not proposing, so drop it.
39
00:01:53,976 --> 00:01:56,012
- Okay, it's dropped.
- Really, drop it.
40
00:01:56,186 --> 00:01:58,460
- Didn't I say it's dropped?
- I heard it.
41
00:01:58,645 --> 00:01:59,644
Thank you.
42
00:01:59,770 --> 00:02:01,600
[Singing] The Love Boat
43
00:02:02,145 --> 00:02:04,134
If you had a radio I
wouldn't have to do that.
44
00:02:04,312 --> 00:02:06,745
Your graduation's
Wednesday at 4:00, correct?
45
00:02:06,938 --> 00:02:08,847
- You don't have to go to it.
- I want to.
46
00:02:09,021 --> 00:02:11,488
I feel I've been through
this Chilton thing with you.
47
00:02:11,689 --> 00:02:13,087
Good, I want you there.
48
00:02:13,231 --> 00:02:15,539
- Good. So what do you want?
- Are you hungry?
49
00:02:15,731 --> 00:02:18,322
- I'm just sore.
- Let's go home and rest.
50
00:02:21,273 --> 00:02:23,831
- Wait, don't leave these.
- Store them for us.
51
00:02:24,024 --> 00:02:26,172
Till we hire a flatbed
truck to carry them home.
52
00:02:26,358 --> 00:02:28,825
- No.
- Left foot hurts, right foot hurts.
53
00:02:29,025 --> 00:02:30,094
- Carry me.
- You carry me.
54
00:02:30,234 --> 00:02:32,905
- You carry me. Come on.
- No, you carry me.
55
00:03:29,411 --> 00:03:32,924
- What is taking him so long?
- I don't know. Luke, come on!
56
00:03:35,245 --> 00:03:37,393
I walked right into a cobweb.
57
00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:41,258
- What's the shape of the place?
- It was a really big cobweb.
58
00:03:41,454 --> 00:03:43,046
Terrible. So what's the story?
59
00:03:43,205 --> 00:03:46,320
- Is there a spider on me?
- Suck it up, big guy, tell us the scoop.
60
00:03:46,539 --> 00:03:48,335
- It's not so bad.
- So it's not so good.
61
00:03:48,497 --> 00:03:51,328
- Not so bad is not so good.
- No really, it's not bad.
62
00:03:51,540 --> 00:03:52,813
- The floors...
- Are rotted!
63
00:03:52,957 --> 00:03:54,673
- They need replacing.
- It's a disaster.
64
00:03:54,832 --> 00:03:56,946
The floors are fine.
They need refinishing...
65
00:03:57,124 --> 00:03:59,636
but they're really nice
quartersawn oak floors.
66
00:03:59,833 --> 00:04:01,106
- And the roof?
- The roof...
67
00:04:01,250 --> 00:04:02,523
- Is shot.
- It's caving in.
68
00:04:02,667 --> 00:04:04,656
- The walls, too.
- With our hopes and dreams.
69
00:04:04,834 --> 00:04:05,868
The roof is fine.
70
00:04:06,001 --> 00:04:08,990
Some shingles need replacing,
but that's the extent of it.
71
00:04:09,209 --> 00:04:11,847
- Almost done here.
- Great, Kirk. You find any mold?
72
00:04:12,043 --> 00:04:15,078
- Did I find any silent death? Not so far.
- Good.
73
00:04:15,294 --> 00:04:18,444
I did tell you about the dangers of
mold and Ed McMahon's dog, right?
74
00:04:18,669 --> 00:04:21,580
- Yes, you did.
- Had memory loss due to mold infestation.
75
00:04:21,795 --> 00:04:23,704
- Forgot how to sit.
- Yes, it was horrible.
76
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:27,267
It's a growth industry right now,
pardon the pun. Mold is money.
77
00:04:27,504 --> 00:04:29,652
I just wish I wasn't
so scared of finding it.
78
00:04:29,838 --> 00:04:31,907
- Don't look too hard then.
- Thanks.
79
00:04:32,088 --> 00:04:34,965
What's the final prognosis?
We're not buying a money pit?
80
00:04:35,172 --> 00:04:38,207
You're gonna spend money.
But it's not a pit, might be a steal.
81
00:04:38,423 --> 00:04:40,981
- It's a steal!
- We are such great businesswomen.
82
00:04:41,173 --> 00:04:43,242
Once you start work,
you could have this place...
83
00:04:43,424 --> 00:04:45,459
up and running in
four or five months.
84
00:04:45,632 --> 00:04:49,020
Which gives the Independence Inn
owners time to find our replacements.
85
00:04:49,258 --> 00:04:52,009
We could be running our
own inn in less than a year!
86
00:04:52,925 --> 00:04:55,802
- What's the matter, Kirk? Mold?
- No, a mouse!
87
00:04:57,426 --> 00:04:59,893
We knew our education at
Chilton would be exemplary...
88
00:05:00,093 --> 00:05:03,924
but it was the people at Chilton,
all my friends... Hi, Marcy, love you.
89
00:05:04,178 --> 00:05:07,930
Cody and Debbie, love you, too.
The faculty, the administrative staff...
90
00:05:08,179 --> 00:05:10,646
even our janitorial staff,
Jaime and Joachim...
91
00:05:10,845 --> 00:05:12,801
I can't count how often
you made me laugh...
92
00:05:12,971 --> 00:05:14,613
- Does she need medical attention?
- Paris.
93
00:05:14,637 --> 00:05:17,309
Jaime and Joachim aren't even
getting a copy. She's a maroon.
94
00:05:17,513 --> 00:05:19,263
It's the year's end,
people get nostalgic.
95
00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:22,102
How's your valedictorian
speech coming along?
96
00:05:23,222 --> 00:05:26,260
It's okay. Pretty standard, boring.
"We love the school, blah, blah, blah..."
97
00:05:26,681 --> 00:05:28,512
No one listens to
those things anyhow...
98
00:05:28,682 --> 00:05:31,398
Relax, I'm okay with you
making valedictorian over me.
99
00:05:32,475 --> 00:05:34,191
- Good, thanks.
- Sure.
100
00:05:34,349 --> 00:05:37,260
I googled the personal histories
of Ivy League valedictorians...
101
00:05:37,475 --> 00:05:40,431
going back 25 years and found
some enlightening statistics.
102
00:05:40,642 --> 00:05:43,359
They don't necessarily do
well in later life, did you know?
103
00:05:43,559 --> 00:05:44,559
- No.
- Yeah.
104
00:05:44,685 --> 00:05:47,595
A lot of business failure, crumbled
marriages, suicides, obesity.
105
00:05:47,810 --> 00:05:49,640
- Okay.
- A bunch died in car crashes...
106
00:05:49,810 --> 00:05:52,960
several did time, one suffocated
when his cat fell asleep on his face.
107
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:54,301
Okay, thanks again.
108
00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:57,153
AV geek, just pan my
body nice and slow.
109
00:05:57,604 --> 00:05:59,002
- Why?
- Yeah, why?
110
00:05:59,146 --> 00:06:00,942
I'll never look
better than I do now.
111
00:06:01,104 --> 00:06:03,412
Come on, ladies,
we don't have all day.
112
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:09,140
- AV geek, I'll need six minutes.
- You're only allowed two.
113
00:06:09,355 --> 00:06:10,708
- Rolling.
- Rolling.
114
00:06:10,856 --> 00:06:13,243
Fellow Chilton seniors,
it's been quite a year.
115
00:06:16,690 --> 00:06:18,362
I hate this.
116
00:06:18,608 --> 00:06:21,404
One guest in the
whole inn. One guy.
117
00:06:21,608 --> 00:06:23,677
And I pulled towel duty today.
118
00:06:23,858 --> 00:06:26,416
It's especially awful
handling guests' towels...
119
00:06:26,609 --> 00:06:29,201
when you know exactly which
guest the towels belong to.
120
00:06:29,401 --> 00:06:31,675
It's his mites on those towels.
121
00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:33,213
Don't be gross.
122
00:06:33,359 --> 00:06:36,031
This is degrading for a
man of my capabilities.
123
00:06:36,235 --> 00:06:38,463
What about me? I've
got no kitchen, I'm a chef.
124
00:06:38,652 --> 00:06:42,768
My skills are deteriorating. I
need to sauté, emulsify, marinate.
125
00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:45,223
I need more mental stimulation.
126
00:06:45,404 --> 00:06:48,837
I need to freaking fry a dead
animal in a skillet. I'm going nuts.
127
00:06:49,071 --> 00:06:51,140
- I should have been a dancer.
- What?
128
00:06:51,322 --> 00:06:53,596
My mother put me in
dance school and I rebelled.
129
00:06:53,781 --> 00:06:56,611
I wanted to kick the
football, I should not have.
130
00:06:56,822 --> 00:06:59,619
I've seen you dance and
you jump around like a duck.
131
00:06:59,823 --> 00:07:03,017
- I'm getting mighty sick of you.
- Not as sick as I am of you.
132
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,991
You do his towels, I'm not
doing his towels anymore.
133
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:08,553
I'm not doing his towels,
I hate that stupid guy...
134
00:07:08,741 --> 00:07:10,697
with that stupid
newspaper. He's stupid.
135
00:07:10,867 --> 00:07:12,663
No bickering in
front of the guest.
136
00:07:12,825 --> 00:07:14,622
Tell it to Deney Terrio here.
137
00:07:14,784 --> 00:07:16,581
"I should've been a dancer."
138
00:07:16,743 --> 00:07:20,734
- Lorelai, how long can we keep this up?
- Keep what up?
139
00:07:20,993 --> 00:07:24,949
We have one guest, half the
rooms are still closed from the fire...
140
00:07:25,203 --> 00:07:28,636
most of the staff is laid
off, I am doing mite towels...
141
00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:31,859
and the owner's son is walking
around with a bunch of men in suits.
142
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:34,353
Yeah, John's here.
That can't be good.
143
00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:36,970
John is here looking things
over for the renovation...
144
00:07:37,163 --> 00:07:40,357
that will reopen the closed rooms
so we can be up and running again.
145
00:07:40,580 --> 00:07:42,854
- Stop worrying.
- Okay.
146
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:44,038
[Phone rings]
147
00:07:46,331 --> 00:07:47,889
Independence Inn,
Lorelai speaking.
148
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,507
- Lorelai, it's your mother.
- Mother, hi.
149
00:07:50,707 --> 00:07:53,935
I'm calling to find out how
it'll work at Rory's graduation.
150
00:07:54,166 --> 00:07:56,235
Are we going to
be sitting together?
151
00:07:56,416 --> 00:07:57,415
Well, hmm.
152
00:07:59,459 --> 00:08:01,050
- Lorelai.
- Sorry.
153
00:08:03,210 --> 00:08:05,119
Of course we'll sit
together. We're family.
154
00:08:05,293 --> 00:08:07,202
I knew that, I just
wasn't sure if you did.
155
00:08:07,377 --> 00:08:09,366
- We're sitting together.
- Good.
156
00:08:09,543 --> 00:08:11,692
- Yes, it is.
- Ask her about the gift, Emily.
157
00:08:11,877 --> 00:08:13,867
- Dad?
- He's on the other line.
158
00:08:14,170 --> 00:08:16,045
Sure got that quiet
thing down there.
159
00:08:16,212 --> 00:08:18,770
I'm on the upstairs portable,
I'm on my way downstairs.
160
00:08:18,962 --> 00:08:21,519
- I see your mother now. Hello, Emily.
- Hello, Richard.
161
00:08:21,712 --> 00:08:24,065
I'm on my way to the
couch and am about to sit.
162
00:08:24,254 --> 00:08:25,846
It's like the thrilling
days of radio.
163
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:27,914
We wanted to ask
about a gift for Rory.
164
00:08:28,089 --> 00:08:29,726
It's a big gift, a
little extravagant.
165
00:08:29,881 --> 00:08:31,820
But it's a big occasion
so it makes sense.
166
00:08:31,832 --> 00:08:33,030
We want to buy her a car.
167
00:08:33,256 --> 00:08:35,211
I think that's a great idea.
168
00:08:35,382 --> 00:08:36,860
- Really?
- Wonderful.
169
00:08:37,007 --> 00:08:39,679
Rory needs to get back
and forth from Yale a lot...
170
00:08:39,882 --> 00:08:43,713
the quicker she does it, the more I
get to see her. It's a present for me, too.
171
00:08:43,966 --> 00:08:45,364
Yes, right.
172
00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:47,384
- I suppose so.
- Didn't think of that.
173
00:08:47,550 --> 00:08:51,097
Just not a gas guzzler and
no Ferraris or Lamborghinis.
174
00:08:51,343 --> 00:08:52,571
So nothing Italian.
175
00:08:52,718 --> 00:08:55,361
No, it can be Italian,
just sensible Italian.
176
00:08:55,373 --> 00:08:56,390
All right, good.
177
00:08:56,636 --> 00:08:58,511
- I'm glad we have this settled.
- Good.
178
00:08:58,678 --> 00:09:01,713
Maybe I'll see you at the
graduation and maybe I won't.
179
00:09:01,928 --> 00:09:04,122
- What?
- See you there. Bye.
180
00:09:04,303 --> 00:09:05,781
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
181
00:09:11,972 --> 00:09:14,200
You and your Armani posse
want something to drink?
182
00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:16,697
No, Lorelai, we're fine. Thanks.
183
00:09:16,931 --> 00:09:20,205
- So, I've been lying about you all day.
- About what?
184
00:09:20,431 --> 00:09:24,137
About how it's not a big deal
that you're walking around...
185
00:09:24,391 --> 00:09:28,268
with a concerned look on your face,
with a group of men with concerned looks.
186
00:09:29,141 --> 00:09:30,891
I've been lying
to me a little, too.
187
00:09:31,058 --> 00:09:35,128
- We have to close off three more rooms.
- Three rooms. That'll leave us with two.
188
00:09:35,393 --> 00:09:37,621
And the estimates
for the repairs...
189
00:09:37,810 --> 00:09:41,765
to get everything back to the quality
we had and up to code, it's not pretty.
190
00:09:42,018 --> 00:09:44,371
- That's not pretty.
- Mom's leaning toward selling.
191
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,708
- Selling.
- Nothing's final yet.
192
00:09:46,978 --> 00:09:49,252
Yeah, nothing's final. I just...
193
00:09:49,853 --> 00:09:51,444
Rory grew up here.
194
00:09:52,271 --> 00:09:54,146
- I grew up here.
- Yeah.
195
00:09:54,312 --> 00:09:57,620
- I'd better get back to my group.
- Great, sure, you go.
196
00:09:57,854 --> 00:10:00,890
- Be careful not to trip over our guest.
- I won't.
197
00:10:04,523 --> 00:10:05,522
[Knock on door]
198
00:10:06,273 --> 00:10:08,352
LORELAI: Sookie, Jackson,
you'd better not be in bed.
199
00:10:08,523 --> 00:10:10,479
- Were you expecting Lorelai?
- No.
200
00:10:10,691 --> 00:10:12,805
The night is young and
the champagne's cold.
201
00:10:12,983 --> 00:10:14,381
The champagne?
202
00:10:14,607 --> 00:10:16,165
- Surprise.
- What is this?
203
00:10:16,316 --> 00:10:18,225
- It's a celebration.
- For what?
204
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,708
Sookie, get some glasses.
Jackson, put some music on.
205
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:23,617
- Whatever you want, just make it festive.
- Got it.
206
00:10:23,818 --> 00:10:26,171
I don't know what
this is, but it's fun.
207
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,907
- I've got Creedence Clearwater Revival.
- Good energy, too hillbilly.
208
00:10:31,236 --> 00:10:34,271
- How you coming with those glasses?
- Just wiping the fancy ones.
209
00:10:34,486 --> 00:10:37,203
Huey Lewis & the
News. It's Sookie's.
210
00:10:37,445 --> 00:10:39,161
We all have our
guilty pleasures.
211
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,390
- Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass.
- Fun, festive. It's perfect. Crank it.
212
00:10:43,654 --> 00:10:48,202
- I've got some Dom for me and Jackson.
- Happens to be my brand.
213
00:10:48,572 --> 00:10:52,244
- I love this song.
- And for Sookie and little baby...
214
00:10:52,489 --> 00:10:55,605
whatever it is, we got
the apple bubbly stuff.
215
00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:58,559
- And cheers.
- Cheers.
216
00:11:00,616 --> 00:11:02,605
Come on, what
are we celebrating?
217
00:11:03,283 --> 00:11:05,750
- You ready?
- Definitely.
218
00:11:06,033 --> 00:11:07,942
The Independence Inn is closing!
219
00:11:09,951 --> 00:11:12,338
- The inn is closing?
- Not closing, closed.
220
00:11:12,535 --> 00:11:13,569
We're finished, over.
221
00:11:13,702 --> 00:11:16,089
They're boarding the place
up now. Who wants more?
222
00:11:16,286 --> 00:11:18,195
Did they find some
gold in the basement?
223
00:11:18,369 --> 00:11:19,927
I'm missing the
celebrating angle.
224
00:11:20,078 --> 00:11:22,908
You should always celebrate
new challenges. This is one.
225
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,747
- A new challenge.
- There'll be severance pay, then nothing.
226
00:11:26,996 --> 00:11:29,429
- Nothing.
- Nothing but exciting new challenges.
227
00:11:29,621 --> 00:11:31,974
- Cheers.
- The inn is closed.
228
00:11:32,496 --> 00:11:37,248
I guess this means that you guys can
focus solely on refurbishing the Dragonfly.
229
00:11:37,539 --> 00:11:39,176
Getting that running.
That's exciting.
230
00:11:39,331 --> 00:11:41,240
- Yes, it is.
- Yeah, I agree.
231
00:11:41,415 --> 00:11:43,563
Just drink some more.
How are you feeling?
232
00:11:43,748 --> 00:11:46,499
A little drunk and all I'm
drinking is apple juice.
233
00:11:46,708 --> 00:11:50,016
Good, 'cause I've got another
little piece of news for you.
234
00:11:50,250 --> 00:11:51,523
We can't buy the Dragonfly.
235
00:11:51,667 --> 00:11:55,975
I can't swing my share of the money
because I no longer have a steady income.
236
00:11:56,251 --> 00:11:58,638
That is great.
237
00:11:58,835 --> 00:12:02,223
- Was that an exciting challenge, too?
- Absolutely.
238
00:12:02,460 --> 00:12:04,654
Yesterday our lives were
boring and predictable.
239
00:12:04,836 --> 00:12:06,984
We had jobs, we were
going to start a business.
240
00:12:07,170 --> 00:12:09,318
Now everything is wide open.
241
00:12:09,503 --> 00:12:12,300
We can do anything
because we're not penned in.
242
00:12:12,503 --> 00:12:14,698
- That's good.
- Yes, that's good.
243
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:18,347
And thinking of those new
challenges is a nice way to distract me...
244
00:12:18,588 --> 00:12:21,226
from the fact that we don't
work together anymore. So...
245
00:12:21,422 --> 00:12:23,570
we're going to see
way less of each other.
246
00:12:23,755 --> 00:12:26,791
Which will make our limited
time together more enjoyable.
247
00:12:27,006 --> 00:12:30,917
Right. Since I'm your vegetable
supplier, I'm losing work...
248
00:12:31,174 --> 00:12:34,926
and seeing my wife and close
friend way less than before.
249
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:36,494
Cheers.
250
00:12:39,508 --> 00:12:42,419
That would convert
it into a town bylaw...
251
00:12:42,634 --> 00:12:46,544
a minor but nonetheless important
change from local ordinance...
252
00:12:47,010 --> 00:12:51,318
giving us the leeway to enforce
charter amendments five and six...
253
00:12:51,594 --> 00:12:55,824
and grandfathering in
previously proposed statutes...
254
00:12:56,094 --> 00:12:57,970
with no procedural delay.
255
00:12:58,137 --> 00:13:02,525
So, all those in favor of going
ahead with this, say "aye."
256
00:13:04,846 --> 00:13:06,438
All those opposed?
257
00:13:07,513 --> 00:13:09,423
People, what's going on?
258
00:13:10,222 --> 00:13:12,973
- People!
- Sorry, Taylor.
259
00:13:13,222 --> 00:13:15,655
- What's the matter?
- It might be the first time...
260
00:13:15,848 --> 00:13:18,360
sixty people lost their train
of thought at the same time.
261
00:13:18,557 --> 00:13:21,672
Yeah, Taylor, your voice always
makes me think of my grocery list.
262
00:13:21,891 --> 00:13:23,403
- We need croutons.
- Got it.
263
00:13:23,558 --> 00:13:24,991
Moving on.
264
00:13:25,975 --> 00:13:28,362
Now, people, I know it's
an unpleasant subject...
265
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,947
but the deer population in this town
is reaching monstrous proportions.
266
00:13:33,226 --> 00:13:36,420
- Not this again.
- He's always going on about the deer.
267
00:13:36,643 --> 00:13:39,394
- Leave them alone, Taylor.
- But they're taking over the town.
268
00:13:39,603 --> 00:13:43,877
- We need to institute partial elimination.
- Partial elimination?
269
00:13:44,145 --> 00:13:46,532
You wanna kill the
little romping Bambis?
270
00:13:46,729 --> 00:13:49,923
People, do I have to detail the
problems that these deer cause?
271
00:13:50,146 --> 00:13:51,180
No, but you will.
272
00:13:51,313 --> 00:13:54,507
Lyme disease, auto
accidents, plane accidents.
273
00:13:54,730 --> 00:13:56,686
- We have flying deer?
- That's scary.
274
00:13:56,855 --> 00:13:58,925
Yeah, those ones you can snuff.
275
00:13:59,106 --> 00:14:02,095
But the worst problem
is the crop loss.
276
00:14:02,315 --> 00:14:05,987
- Hand me the blowup, please.
- He's paying you for all this, right?
277
00:14:06,232 --> 00:14:07,982
- Yeah.
- Really, how much?
278
00:14:09,524 --> 00:14:13,833
This is a randomly chosen
but typical landscaped area...
279
00:14:14,108 --> 00:14:17,735
in the town that was denuded
by these ruminant pests.
280
00:14:17,984 --> 00:14:20,371
- Randomly chosen?
- Taylor, that's your backyard.
281
00:14:20,568 --> 00:14:24,354
- This is a little self-serving.
- It might be my yard.
282
00:14:24,611 --> 00:14:28,726
Might be? No one else has
a "Kiss the gardener" sign.
283
00:14:28,986 --> 00:14:30,737
This is a trumped-up problem.
284
00:14:30,903 --> 00:14:33,859
So none of you are interested
in addressing this scourge?
285
00:14:34,071 --> 00:14:35,901
- I have a thought.
- Go ahead, Kirk.
286
00:14:36,071 --> 00:14:37,743
- A controlled hunt.
- Guns?
287
00:14:37,905 --> 00:14:40,258
- Not guns, wolves.
- What?
288
00:14:40,447 --> 00:14:43,994
You release a pack of wolves,
they eat the deer, problem solved.
289
00:14:44,238 --> 00:14:45,989
Then you'll have a wolf problem.
290
00:14:46,156 --> 00:14:49,748
I say that we defer this
unsavory topic for another year.
291
00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:51,626
- Wait a minute.
- All those in favor?
292
00:14:51,782 --> 00:14:55,057
- Aye.
- Taylor's opposed. Meeting adjourned.
293
00:14:59,033 --> 00:15:00,306
I missed the whole thing?
294
00:15:00,450 --> 00:15:04,122
Yes, and I'm still semi-grounded. I
have a limited amount of time outside.
295
00:15:04,368 --> 00:15:06,755
Hurry and show me
your prom pictures.
296
00:15:07,118 --> 00:15:09,505
- These are them.
- How many did you take?
297
00:15:09,702 --> 00:15:12,373
300. I'll leave them with
you. They're self-explanatory.
298
00:15:12,577 --> 00:15:14,294
- What's this?
- Our chicken picatta.
299
00:15:14,453 --> 00:15:16,249
- This?
- Our chicken picatta after one bite.
300
00:15:16,411 --> 00:15:18,320
- So don't tell me, two bites?
- Yup.
301
00:15:18,495 --> 00:15:20,689
- I think I can follow this.
- Gotta run.
302
00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:22,906
- Keep them in order.
- I will.
303
00:15:33,456 --> 00:15:35,128
- Hi.
- Hi.
304
00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:39,428
Taylor's paying you to
do all this work, isn't he?
305
00:15:39,624 --> 00:15:42,852
He knows I need money so he's
helping me with extra stuff to do.
306
00:15:43,083 --> 00:15:46,277
- He's a good guy.
- He is a good guy. A very good guy.
307
00:15:46,792 --> 00:15:49,748
- How are the old wedding plans?
- They're fine.
308
00:15:50,793 --> 00:15:53,465
My mom's held about a
million weddings at the inn...
309
00:15:53,668 --> 00:15:56,863
and I've worked on a lot of them,
so I'm a fountain of useful tips.
310
00:15:57,086 --> 00:15:59,802
- Good.
- For instance, your photographer...
311
00:16:00,252 --> 00:16:03,401
Have him take candid photographs
along with the other ones.
312
00:16:03,628 --> 00:16:05,425
It'll capture your
favorite moments...
313
00:16:05,587 --> 00:16:08,975
and you won't be stuck
with just the stiff, posed shots.
314
00:16:09,213 --> 00:16:10,327
Candid. Okay.
315
00:16:10,463 --> 00:16:12,929
If the ring bearer is
younger than five...
316
00:16:12,941 --> 00:16:14,293
My nephew, he's three.
317
00:16:14,546 --> 00:16:17,138
Don't give him the ring
until the last second.
318
00:16:17,339 --> 00:16:19,647
Because I've seen
many a ring swallowed...
319
00:16:19,839 --> 00:16:22,556
and it takes a couple
days to get it back.
320
00:16:23,131 --> 00:16:24,450
Good point.
321
00:16:24,966 --> 00:16:29,160
It's been kind of overwhelming. You
must rent the hall a year in advance.
322
00:16:29,424 --> 00:16:32,937
- Make sure your deposit's refundable.
- Yeah, it is.
323
00:16:33,175 --> 00:16:35,813
Then there's a lot that we
have to buy for our place.
324
00:16:36,008 --> 00:16:38,237
Yeah, about that. Come on, sit.
325
00:16:42,927 --> 00:16:45,155
- What's this?
- Your wedding gift.
326
00:16:45,678 --> 00:16:48,189
- What?
- You can get anything you want...
327
00:16:48,386 --> 00:16:51,615
but I marked a bunch of pages
with stuff I think would be appropriate.
328
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:53,242
I wanted to get in early...
329
00:16:53,387 --> 00:16:57,014
so that I could be the first person
giving you a blender, not the third one.
330
00:16:57,263 --> 00:17:00,651
- You don't have to do this.
- I know, that's why it's fun.
331
00:17:04,138 --> 00:17:05,457
This has everything.
332
00:17:05,597 --> 00:17:08,314
I'd recommend the mixing
bowls, those are really nice.
333
00:17:08,515 --> 00:17:11,584
Or a knife set and a sharpener.
Sharpening's very important.
334
00:17:11,807 --> 00:17:14,718
I learned it from Sookie. You
leave them too long, it's too late.
335
00:17:14,932 --> 00:17:16,444
Respect your knives.
336
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:18,747
- Thanks, Rory.
- You're welcome.
337
00:17:19,308 --> 00:17:22,502
Flip through it with Lindsay,
pick out what you want, I'll order it.
338
00:17:22,725 --> 00:17:23,839
I will.
339
00:17:27,268 --> 00:17:28,541
Bye, Dean.
340
00:17:29,810 --> 00:17:31,083
Bye, Rory.
341
00:17:37,562 --> 00:17:40,154
- We should bring it in a bit more.
- First, why don't you...
342
00:17:40,354 --> 00:17:42,628
use a medieval torture
instrument to crush my ribs...
343
00:17:42,813 --> 00:17:45,689
and flatten my spinal cord to
accommodate your sadistic wish?
344
00:17:45,896 --> 00:17:47,692
Don't use subtlety
on us, we're slow.
345
00:17:47,854 --> 00:17:50,083
She's saying we don't
need to bring it in anymore.
346
00:17:50,272 --> 00:17:52,182
Take it off, you're done.
347
00:17:52,689 --> 00:17:53,837
I should go.
348
00:17:53,981 --> 00:17:56,176
I've got a job interview
tomorrow. You know what?
349
00:17:56,356 --> 00:17:57,834
- I'm nervous.
- Which place?
350
00:17:57,982 --> 00:18:00,256
- Harrington's in Woodbridge.
- Nice.
351
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,873
They want me as the executive
chef four nights a week.
352
00:18:03,066 --> 00:18:06,419
I can't imagine working some
place else. And without my Lorelai.
353
00:18:06,650 --> 00:18:10,038
But it's only a few months
till the Dragonfly opens, right?
354
00:18:10,276 --> 00:18:12,311
- You haven't told her yet?
- Told me what?
355
00:18:12,484 --> 00:18:15,042
- I was waiting for an opportunity.
- To tell me what?
356
00:18:15,235 --> 00:18:17,702
Which apparently
is right now. Okay.
357
00:18:18,694 --> 00:18:20,286
Hon, listen...
358
00:18:22,778 --> 00:18:24,608
we're not buying the Dragonfly.
359
00:18:24,778 --> 00:18:26,926
- What?
- It's just not the right time.
360
00:18:27,112 --> 00:18:29,226
- You're crazy, it's the perfect time.
- Not really.
361
00:18:29,404 --> 00:18:31,916
If you wait, someone else'll
buy it, you said so yourself.
362
00:18:32,113 --> 00:18:34,227
I'm gonna go, guys.
Sorry to spill the beans.
363
00:18:34,405 --> 00:18:37,441
- That's okay, I'll see you later.
- Mom, why put it off?
364
00:18:37,655 --> 00:18:41,044
- I know the inn closing is a setback.
- Big one.
365
00:18:41,281 --> 00:18:44,715
But we've got Grandpa's money,
that's plenty to buy the Dragonfly Inn.
366
00:18:44,948 --> 00:18:48,575
We'll just scrimp on everything
until it's running and successful.
367
00:18:48,824 --> 00:18:51,098
- It would take a lot.
- I'm a master scrimper.
368
00:18:51,283 --> 00:18:53,921
I would make the Olympic
scrimping team. I'm that good.
369
00:18:54,117 --> 00:18:56,914
- We didn't get financial aid for Yale.
- What?
370
00:18:57,117 --> 00:19:01,187
No scholarships, hardship money,
money-off coupons, gift certificates.
371
00:19:01,493 --> 00:19:03,402
I don't understand.
What happened?
372
00:19:03,577 --> 00:19:06,135
Irony of ironies, the money
I got from your grandpa...
373
00:19:06,327 --> 00:19:09,680
took us out of the running for aid
because it looked like we have money.
374
00:19:09,911 --> 00:19:13,458
Send proof. A bank statement, a letter
from Grandpa. A picture of this couch.
375
00:19:13,704 --> 00:19:15,579
They'll know we're
not rich after seeing it.
376
00:19:15,745 --> 00:19:17,337
I tried everything, I swear.
377
00:19:17,496 --> 00:19:19,770
- Why didn't you tell me?
- With everything going on?
378
00:19:19,955 --> 00:19:22,263
Finals and personal stuff?
I didn't want you worrying.
379
00:19:22,455 --> 00:19:24,570
- But Grandpa's money...
- Is paying for Yale.
380
00:19:24,747 --> 00:19:25,895
No way.
381
00:19:26,664 --> 00:19:29,461
I'll take a loan from a bank.
That's what banks are for.
382
00:19:29,665 --> 00:19:32,222
I don't want you buried by
loans the day you graduate.
383
00:19:32,415 --> 00:19:35,292
I'll major in something that'll
make me money when I graduate.
384
00:19:35,499 --> 00:19:37,454
I'll major in business
or engineering.
385
00:19:37,624 --> 00:19:41,740
You are not changing your major from
journalism because of my lack of money.
386
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,006
It's our lack.
387
00:19:43,018 --> 00:19:45,877
If you need to work
as a low-paid intern...
388
00:19:46,126 --> 00:19:48,957
for a magazine or a stringer for
some small-town newspaper...
389
00:19:49,169 --> 00:19:53,762
or Tom Brokaw's toupee comber-outer
before you make real money...
390
00:19:54,043 --> 00:19:56,510
- then that's what you'll do.
- There must be another way.
391
00:19:56,711 --> 00:19:59,747
- I've looked, there's nothing.
- This is so not fair to you.
392
00:19:59,962 --> 00:20:03,952
I'll have my own inn one day, I
promise. But Yale comes first.
393
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,233
- What are you going to do now?
- Rail at God for a while.
394
00:20:08,589 --> 00:20:10,225
Tell her I said hi.
395
00:20:13,339 --> 00:20:16,454
What happened to the elves
that were going to pack our packs?
396
00:20:16,673 --> 00:20:18,151
How about this?
397
00:20:18,548 --> 00:20:21,857
- You hate the dress I made you so much?
- Not for graduation, for Europe.
398
00:20:22,090 --> 00:20:25,365
Perfect. It's black, so it
won't show dirt or wrinkles.
399
00:20:25,592 --> 00:20:28,502
Wear it with a moody look like
you're thinking of Bolsheviks...
400
00:20:28,717 --> 00:20:30,991
they'll mistake you for
Simone de Beauvoir. Pack it.
401
00:20:31,176 --> 00:20:33,165
- It's too heavy.
- Was that a trick question?
402
00:20:33,342 --> 00:20:36,458
- We need to cut weight from our packs.
- I'm doing my part here.
403
00:20:36,676 --> 00:20:40,110
- You don't need five pairs of boots.
- I'll drop boots if you drop books.
404
00:20:40,343 --> 00:20:42,094
- I can't drop books.
- You can't bring 12.
405
00:20:42,261 --> 00:20:45,774
Cut your undergarments. Don't forget,
we'll rinse in Woolite every few days.
406
00:20:46,012 --> 00:20:47,728
This is going to an
uncomfortable place.
407
00:20:47,887 --> 00:20:50,525
- Your toothpaste. You have three tubes.
- So?
408
00:20:50,721 --> 00:20:53,631
- Why three?
- If I lose one, I'll have another.
409
00:20:53,846 --> 00:20:56,802
If you bring three tubes, I'll
bring 12 books and a dictionary.
410
00:20:57,014 --> 00:20:58,650
Then I'll bring a
gallon of mercury...
411
00:20:58,805 --> 00:21:01,317
one of the densest, heaviest
substances known to man.
412
00:21:01,514 --> 00:21:03,503
- The writing's on the wall.
- Cancel Europe.
413
00:21:03,681 --> 00:21:06,256
I've got to run, love
my graduation dress.
414
00:21:06,268 --> 00:21:06,797
I know.
415
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:09,812
- Shame about Europe being canceled?
- It's okay.
416
00:21:10,016 --> 00:21:12,290
It's not that great.
Except for the cheese.
417
00:21:12,475 --> 00:21:14,987
- Nine books for two toothpastes.
- Deal.
418
00:21:16,225 --> 00:21:17,224
[Doorbell rings]
419
00:21:18,309 --> 00:21:19,343
Who is it, Emily?
420
00:21:19,476 --> 00:21:22,273
I don't know, my x-ray
vision isn't working.
421
00:21:22,477 --> 00:21:24,830
I was wondering if you
were expecting somebody.
422
00:21:25,019 --> 00:21:26,974
I wasn't expecting anybody.
423
00:21:27,769 --> 00:21:30,043
- Rory.
- Hi, Grandma. Hi, Grandpa.
424
00:21:30,227 --> 00:21:31,819
What brings you
here on this busy day?
425
00:21:31,978 --> 00:21:34,331
I have a time-sensitive
issue I need to talk about.
426
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,634
Time-sensitive? Come in.
427
00:21:40,146 --> 00:21:42,136
We were just getting
ready for your ceremony.
428
00:21:42,313 --> 00:21:44,666
I was just retying my
tie for the third time.
429
00:21:44,855 --> 00:21:47,652
No matter how many times I tie
it there's always room for error.
430
00:21:47,856 --> 00:21:49,631
It's not an exact
science, is it?
431
00:21:49,643 --> 00:21:51,892
Nor an art form, it's
pretty much nothing.
432
00:21:52,357 --> 00:21:53,915
Sit down, please.
433
00:21:54,066 --> 00:21:55,065
Okay.
434
00:21:55,399 --> 00:21:56,876
All right.
435
00:21:57,566 --> 00:22:00,954
- Should we be nervous?
- No, you shouldn't be. I am, a little.
436
00:22:01,192 --> 00:22:02,511
What is it?
437
00:22:04,233 --> 00:22:05,791
- I need money.
- You need money.
438
00:22:05,942 --> 00:22:07,534
- For Yale.
- You need money for Yale.
439
00:22:07,692 --> 00:22:10,887
- Stop repeating what she says.
- I'm sorry, I'm processing.
440
00:22:11,526 --> 00:22:13,834
It's a long story. No
financing came through...
441
00:22:14,027 --> 00:22:17,222
and all the options that Mom and
I have are just not good enough.
442
00:22:17,444 --> 00:22:18,593
So here's the offer:
443
00:22:18,736 --> 00:22:21,328
I would like you to loan me
money for four years at Yale.
444
00:22:21,528 --> 00:22:24,644
In return I will get a part-time
job and pay you in installments.
445
00:22:24,862 --> 00:22:27,057
I will continue this
schedule after graduation...
446
00:22:27,237 --> 00:22:29,988
increasing the payment
in proportion to my income.
447
00:22:30,197 --> 00:22:32,664
Plus, I will reinstate
Friday-night dinners with me.
448
00:22:32,864 --> 00:22:35,376
Each Friday night I'll
be here, 7:00 on the dot.
449
00:22:36,198 --> 00:22:38,392
- How wonderful.
- We've missed you, Rory.
450
00:22:38,573 --> 00:22:40,290
I've missed you, too.
451
00:22:40,449 --> 00:22:43,962
- This should work out for everyone, right?
- Absolutely, we're happy to do it.
452
00:22:44,199 --> 00:22:45,348
Not so fast.
453
00:22:45,491 --> 00:22:46,491
Richard.
454
00:22:46,824 --> 00:22:49,735
I'm happy to pay for Yale,
but I don't want it to be a loan.
455
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:53,543
No, not that. I want it to be a loan
because otherwise it's too easy.
456
00:22:53,867 --> 00:22:55,220
Here's my counteroffer:
457
00:22:55,368 --> 00:22:58,960
Let's make it a loan, but I insist
that you not start paying it back...
458
00:22:59,202 --> 00:23:01,271
until at least five years
after you graduate.
459
00:23:01,452 --> 00:23:03,522
Seven years if you
go for your master's.
460
00:23:03,702 --> 00:23:06,059
It sounds fair, but I
should pay interest.
461
00:23:06,071 --> 00:23:06,340
No.
462
00:23:06,662 --> 00:23:10,493
You are not going to pay me interest
on this money. That's a deal breaker.
463
00:23:13,121 --> 00:23:14,598
- Okay.
- Good.
464
00:23:15,497 --> 00:23:17,611
- Wonderful.
- We have a deal.
465
00:23:19,122 --> 00:23:22,908
If journalism doesn't work out you
could work for me after you graduate.
466
00:23:23,164 --> 00:23:25,472
You've got good deal-making
skills, eye of the tiger.
467
00:23:25,665 --> 00:23:27,382
I'll keep it in mind.
468
00:23:27,624 --> 00:23:30,296
- I should go.
- Does your mother know you're here?
469
00:23:30,499 --> 00:23:31,499
No.
470
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:34,057
This is my thing.
471
00:23:34,333 --> 00:23:36,481
I'll see you at the ceremony.
472
00:23:49,169 --> 00:23:50,238
Where do you wanna sit?
473
00:23:50,378 --> 00:23:53,811
There's no designated area for
family and friends of the valedictorian?
474
00:23:54,045 --> 00:23:56,432
Like a skybox or a velvet
rope on one of the rows.
475
00:23:56,629 --> 00:23:58,504
We're like 50 Cent's posse.
476
00:23:58,671 --> 00:24:00,899
- Where are the boys?
- Over there.
477
00:24:02,255 --> 00:24:04,847
They're doing that thing guys
do around fancy buildings.
478
00:24:05,047 --> 00:24:07,719
- Talk about their construction.
- The insurance costs.
479
00:24:07,923 --> 00:24:09,912
Guys, get over here.
480
00:24:10,215 --> 00:24:12,602
Here's a row. How
many seats do we need?
481
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:15,232
- You, me, Luke, Jackson.
- That's four.
482
00:24:15,423 --> 00:24:18,493
- Plus picklepuss and sauerkraut.
- Your parents make six.
483
00:24:18,716 --> 00:24:20,705
These stones have
to be carved by hand.
484
00:24:20,883 --> 00:24:22,872
Without the tools we
have now. No electricity.
485
00:24:23,050 --> 00:24:26,166
- Just pulleys and fulcrums.
- Hey, Bob Vila, take a seat.
486
00:24:26,384 --> 00:24:29,374
We have to vow not to
make fun of any of the kids...
487
00:24:29,593 --> 00:24:33,106
because the family will be sitting
behind us just like at that play.
488
00:24:34,427 --> 00:24:37,303
The "Big-eared Romeo"
fiasco of '98. Gotcha.
489
00:24:38,095 --> 00:24:39,606
Who's paging you?
490
00:24:39,761 --> 00:24:42,911
Maybe there's a special surprise
party for the valedictorian's mom...
491
00:24:43,137 --> 00:24:44,410
before the ceremony.
492
00:24:44,554 --> 00:24:46,987
- I bet there is.
- I'll be right back.
493
00:24:47,221 --> 00:24:48,858
Look at the gargoyles.
494
00:24:50,389 --> 00:24:52,344
Those have to be
imported from Europe.
495
00:24:52,514 --> 00:24:55,469
The insurance on this
place must be astronomical.
496
00:24:57,014 --> 00:24:58,924
Nanny, you brought the kids!
497
00:24:59,098 --> 00:25:01,293
[Speaking Portuguese]
498
00:25:11,059 --> 00:25:14,014
I'm looking for Rory Gilmore,
she's the valedictorian.
499
00:25:14,226 --> 00:25:15,545
I'm her mom.
500
00:25:16,059 --> 00:25:17,969
Go away. I want
to tell other people...
501
00:25:18,143 --> 00:25:20,337
I'm the valedictorian's
mom and am looking for you.
502
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:22,952
I've got good news
that I want to tell you.
503
00:25:24,769 --> 00:25:27,486
- You're ready?
- I hope so. Ready for what?
504
00:25:27,687 --> 00:25:29,279
- You're getting your inn.
- What?
505
00:25:29,436 --> 00:25:32,790
Go put in the bid on the Dragonfly.
You've got the money, Grandpa's money.
506
00:25:33,021 --> 00:25:36,090
- What? How do I have money?
- Grandma and Grandpa will pay for Yale.
507
00:25:36,313 --> 00:25:37,382
Wait a minute...
508
00:25:37,522 --> 00:25:40,273
I explained everything, and
they'll lend me the money for Yale.
509
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,708
When did they approach you?
510
00:25:41,856 --> 00:25:43,368
- I approached them.
- No!
511
00:25:43,523 --> 00:25:45,194
I just left them.
It's a done deal.
512
00:25:45,356 --> 00:25:47,789
Make the call, put in the bid
before someone else does.
513
00:25:47,982 --> 00:25:51,290
Do you understand the
Gilmores do nothing altruistically?
514
00:25:51,524 --> 00:25:53,161
Strings are attached
to everything.
515
00:25:53,316 --> 00:25:55,191
- There are no strings.
- No strings?
516
00:25:55,358 --> 00:25:57,950
I must pay them back starting
five years after I graduate.
517
00:25:58,151 --> 00:26:01,743
- I have to go to Friday-night dinners.
- Hello, Pinocchio. Those are strings.
518
00:26:01,985 --> 00:26:04,133
It was my idea to
resume the dinners.
519
00:26:04,318 --> 00:26:06,626
I obligated just me, you
are in no way a part of it.
520
00:26:06,819 --> 00:26:09,411
- This can't happen.
- I don't want to defer your dream.
521
00:26:09,610 --> 00:26:11,486
You shouldn't have
done this behind my back.
522
00:26:11,653 --> 00:26:14,563
Yale is my thing. I
needed financing. I got it.
523
00:26:14,778 --> 00:26:16,813
Those people.
Master manipulators.
524
00:26:16,987 --> 00:26:18,977
This was my idea.
I'm manipulating you.
525
00:26:19,155 --> 00:26:21,110
They are manipulating
you to manipulate me.
526
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,315
- How are they doing that?
- Don't you see?
527
00:26:23,488 --> 00:26:26,523
If you go to Friday dinners, Mom
knows I'll go just to be with you.
528
00:26:26,738 --> 00:26:29,489
- She wasn't thinking that.
- They're getting what they want.
529
00:26:29,698 --> 00:26:32,210
Don't you see, we're
all getting what we want.
530
00:26:32,407 --> 00:26:33,804
It's a win-win-win situation.
531
00:26:33,948 --> 00:26:35,221
- It's not.
- It is.
532
00:26:35,365 --> 00:26:37,116
Okay, maybe it is.
533
00:26:37,283 --> 00:26:40,830
Just once, I want you to
get exactly what you want...
534
00:26:41,074 --> 00:26:44,064
and me to get exactly what I
want and them to get nothing.
535
00:26:44,284 --> 00:26:46,034
We'll see if we
can't arrange that.
536
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,428
The ceremony's about
to start. I'd better go.
537
00:26:48,617 --> 00:26:50,289
And go buy that inn.
538
00:26:56,661 --> 00:26:58,332
- Hi.
- Hello.
539
00:26:59,619 --> 00:27:01,847
Didn't you see Sookie?
We've got seats saved.
540
00:27:02,036 --> 00:27:04,708
We didn't know if the whole
seating issue had been resolved.
541
00:27:04,912 --> 00:27:08,061
- It was. Come on.
- I don't remember it being fully resolved.
542
00:27:08,621 --> 00:27:10,849
- We didn't know if you changed your mind.
- I didn't.
543
00:27:11,038 --> 00:27:12,471
It wasn't crystal clear.
544
00:27:12,622 --> 00:27:15,088
- Fine, just stay there.
- You're not serious.
545
00:27:26,291 --> 00:27:29,441
Mom, Dad, you've met everyone
here: Sookie, Jackson, Luke.
546
00:27:30,292 --> 00:27:32,679
- Hi. How are you doing?
- No Christopher?
547
00:27:33,375 --> 00:27:35,650
He's out of town, but he's
having us take pictures...
548
00:27:35,834 --> 00:27:38,109
order him the video
and we may come back...
549
00:27:38,293 --> 00:27:40,329
and reenact the whole
thing when he gets home.
550
00:27:40,502 --> 00:27:41,979
Now sit, relax.
551
00:27:45,003 --> 00:27:47,356
Long story short, and a
partly painful story at that...
552
00:27:47,545 --> 00:27:51,217
and hang on to your hat, but we
can put a bid in on the Dragonfly.
553
00:27:51,463 --> 00:27:54,578
What? You're kidding.
How? What happened?
554
00:27:54,796 --> 00:27:56,308
I can't go into it now.
555
00:27:57,047 --> 00:27:58,481
Even with the champagne
and Herb Alpert...
556
00:27:58,505 --> 00:28:01,097
I've been so depressed. I
couldn't watch The Dating Game.
557
00:28:01,297 --> 00:28:02,650
That's all changed now.
558
00:28:02,797 --> 00:28:06,628
I'll go call the attorney. You sit
back and enjoy the graduation.
559
00:28:06,882 --> 00:28:07,881
Sorry.
560
00:28:10,132 --> 00:28:12,565
This will not happen
again, promise.
561
00:28:16,675 --> 00:28:19,744
You have to move over one
more chair to be part of the group.
562
00:28:19,967 --> 00:28:21,956
- I thought someone else was coming.
- No.
563
00:28:22,384 --> 00:28:23,532
- You're sure?
- Yes.
564
00:28:23,676 --> 00:28:26,268
Because it would be awkward
to move during the ceremony.
565
00:28:26,594 --> 00:28:28,424
I know what awkward is.
566
00:28:32,886 --> 00:28:34,603
- What, Mom?
- Nothing.
567
00:28:36,346 --> 00:28:40,176
That man in front of me is
extraordinarily tall, don't you think?
568
00:28:52,473 --> 00:28:56,350
- The middle one bowled a 143 last week.
- Impressive.
569
00:28:58,766 --> 00:29:01,643
I was here before you,
it just looks like I'm late.
570
00:29:01,850 --> 00:29:04,362
Appearances can
be deceiving, so sorry.
571
00:29:04,642 --> 00:29:07,314
The real-estate agent
wasn't in, so I left a message.
572
00:29:07,517 --> 00:29:08,995
Did Rory walk in?
573
00:29:09,143 --> 00:29:12,098
First row, right in front of
the kid with the humongous...
574
00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:14,141
The really cute kid.
575
00:29:15,061 --> 00:29:19,608
I wanted to get a picture of her walking
in. I'll get some of her in her seat.
576
00:29:21,270 --> 00:29:24,976
Sorry, I'm not like
this. Today I am.
577
00:29:25,228 --> 00:29:27,218
I'm with the valedictorian.
578
00:29:27,854 --> 00:29:30,526
Invited guests,
fellow faculty...
579
00:29:31,147 --> 00:29:32,943
honored attendees
and students...
580
00:29:33,105 --> 00:29:37,732
welcome to the Chilton Academy
graduating class ceremony of 2003.
581
00:29:41,565 --> 00:29:43,998
This class is a
distinguished assemblage...
582
00:29:44,191 --> 00:29:46,863
equal to or surpassing
what has preceded it.
583
00:29:47,066 --> 00:29:50,977
In its 200-year history, Chilton
has not failed to produce a class...
584
00:29:51,233 --> 00:29:53,620
that brings only honor
to these grounds...
585
00:29:53,817 --> 00:29:55,567
and to the academy's
fine traditions.
586
00:29:55,734 --> 00:29:59,486
To begin, I would like to invite the
student body president, Paris Geller...
587
00:29:59,735 --> 00:30:02,293
to lead us in the
Pledge of Allegiance.
588
00:30:03,110 --> 00:30:05,622
As his parting shot to me,
Charleston never responded...
589
00:30:05,819 --> 00:30:08,457
to the three aspects of the
pledge that I objected to...
590
00:30:08,654 --> 00:30:09,768
and considered rewriting.
591
00:30:09,904 --> 00:30:12,939
That's not going to stop
me from using air quotes.
592
00:30:16,905 --> 00:30:19,702
In good times and bad, Chilton
formed us, brought us hope...
593
00:30:19,905 --> 00:30:21,577
honed our insight,
gave us encouragement.
594
00:30:21,739 --> 00:30:23,933
Though my time here was
interrupted by my period...
595
00:30:24,114 --> 00:30:27,388
spent on Broadway hanging
out with Stephen Sondheim...
596
00:30:27,698 --> 00:30:31,086
I still consider Chilton the most
rewarding experience of my young life.
597
00:30:31,324 --> 00:30:34,518
It had been my plan in closing
to recite a short poem that I wrote.
598
00:30:34,741 --> 00:30:37,379
- But reconsidered.
- Come on, Brad, go out a winner.
599
00:30:37,575 --> 00:30:40,406
As I read it aloud, I realized
the feelings I wanted to share...
600
00:30:40,617 --> 00:30:44,494
with my fellow students were
better expressed in a favorite song.
601
00:30:45,576 --> 00:30:47,963
[Sings Cherish]
602
00:30:52,744 --> 00:30:53,744
Oh, Brad.
603
00:31:03,330 --> 00:31:07,206
It's a distinct pleasure for me to
introduce to you our valedictorian.
604
00:31:07,455 --> 00:31:10,206
This young lady was a
second-year transfer from a school...
605
00:31:10,414 --> 00:31:12,403
where she distinguished
herself immeasurably.
606
00:31:12,581 --> 00:31:14,729
She is humble, hard-working...
607
00:31:14,915 --> 00:31:16,587
competitive when need be...
608
00:31:16,749 --> 00:31:19,499
and unparalleled in her
academic achievements.
609
00:31:19,707 --> 00:31:22,219
Ladies and gentlemen,
Rory Gilmore.
610
00:31:31,335 --> 00:31:33,529
- Not crying, right?
- Not crying.
611
00:31:33,835 --> 00:31:35,870
Keeping our cool so
we don't miss a thing.
612
00:31:36,044 --> 00:31:38,158
- Tears get in your eyes.
- You miss things.
613
00:31:38,336 --> 00:31:40,325
- So we're not crying.
- Not crying.
614
00:31:41,128 --> 00:31:43,276
- Not crying. Not crying.
- What?
615
00:31:43,670 --> 00:31:45,626
- No crying.
- I'm not crying.
616
00:31:45,796 --> 00:31:49,706
Headmaster Charleston, faculty members,
fellow students, family and friends...
617
00:31:49,963 --> 00:31:52,874
welcome. We never
thought this day would come.
618
00:31:53,380 --> 00:31:56,530
We prayed for its quick delivery,
crossed days of four calendars...
619
00:31:56,756 --> 00:32:00,508
counted hours, minutes and seconds
and now that it's here, I'm sorry it is...
620
00:32:00,756 --> 00:32:02,826
because it means
leaving inspiring friends...
621
00:32:03,007 --> 00:32:06,315
and teachers who've been my mentors,
many people who've shaped my life...
622
00:32:06,550 --> 00:32:09,380
and my fellow students'
lives impermeably and forever.
623
00:32:09,591 --> 00:32:12,547
I live in two worlds.
One is the world of books.
624
00:32:13,175 --> 00:32:16,131
I've been a resident of Faulkner's
Yoknapatawpha County...
625
00:32:16,343 --> 00:32:19,378
hunted the white whale from the
Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon...
626
00:32:19,593 --> 00:32:21,468
sailed a raft with
Huck and Jim...
627
00:32:21,635 --> 00:32:23,909
committed absurdities
with lgnatius J. Reilly...
628
00:32:24,094 --> 00:32:27,971
rode a sad train with Anna Karenina
and strolled down Swann's Way.
629
00:32:28,387 --> 00:32:32,014
It's a rewarding world, but my
second one is by far superior.
630
00:32:32,262 --> 00:32:36,253
My second one is filled with characters
less eccentric, but supremely real...
631
00:32:36,513 --> 00:32:38,422
made of flesh and
bone, full of love...
632
00:32:38,596 --> 00:32:41,507
who are my ultimate
inspiration for everything.
633
00:32:42,222 --> 00:32:46,338
Richard and Emily Gilmore are kind,
decent, unfailingly generous people.
634
00:32:46,598 --> 00:32:49,394
They are my twin pillars,
without whom I could not stand.
635
00:32:49,598 --> 00:32:51,792
I am proud to be
their grandchild.
636
00:32:51,974 --> 00:32:54,930
But my ultimate inspiration
comes from my best friend...
637
00:32:55,142 --> 00:32:58,734
the dazzling woman from whom I
received my name and my life's blood...
638
00:32:58,975 --> 00:33:00,487
Lorelai Gilmore.
639
00:33:01,475 --> 00:33:02,545
Hang in there.
640
00:33:02,684 --> 00:33:04,481
My mother never
gave me any idea...
641
00:33:04,643 --> 00:33:08,270
that I couldn't do what I wanted
to do or be whom I wanted to be.
642
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:11,349
She filled our house with love
and fun and books and music...
643
00:33:11,561 --> 00:33:13,835
unflagging in her efforts
to give me role models...
644
00:33:14,019 --> 00:33:16,975
from Jane Austen to
Eudora Welty to Patti Smith.
645
00:33:17,270 --> 00:33:20,499
As she guided me through
these incredible 18 years...
646
00:33:20,729 --> 00:33:24,356
I don't know if she ever realized that
the person I most wanted to be was her.
647
00:33:24,604 --> 00:33:26,799
- Not crying.
- Crying a little.
648
00:33:27,439 --> 00:33:30,588
Crying a little but not blubbering.
That's what we meant by no crying.
649
00:33:30,814 --> 00:33:32,167
No blubbering.
650
00:33:32,314 --> 00:33:35,111
Thank you, Mom, you are
my guidepost for everything.
651
00:33:35,315 --> 00:33:37,145
On the verge of blubbering here.
652
00:33:37,315 --> 00:33:39,224
Not doing too well myself.
653
00:33:39,899 --> 00:33:41,252
Not you, too.
654
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,036
I'm blubbering, you're freaks.
655
00:33:43,191 --> 00:33:45,465
As we prepare
ourselves, today...
656
00:33:47,401 --> 00:33:49,913
I swear, I do not recognize
half of these people.
657
00:33:50,109 --> 00:33:51,940
What's your name,
what's your story?
658
00:33:53,444 --> 00:33:55,877
- Do you see her?
- She's the one in the robe.
659
00:33:56,944 --> 00:33:59,979
She's lost in a sea of blue
polyester. I couldn't point her out.
660
00:34:00,194 --> 00:34:01,342
Richard.
661
00:34:01,486 --> 00:34:02,605
How much to insure all this?
662
00:34:02,695 --> 00:34:06,083
The insurance may not be prohibitive,
but the deductibles will be enormous.
663
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,628
- Well into six figures.
- Six figures?
664
00:34:08,821 --> 00:34:12,174
- That's like having no insurance at all.
- So if there was a fire...
665
00:34:12,405 --> 00:34:15,475
Stop assessing the value of
the building. Rory's coming up.
666
00:34:15,989 --> 00:34:18,217
I want a closer shot of
her getting her diploma.
667
00:34:22,490 --> 00:34:24,286
Thanks, I suck, sorry.
668
00:34:25,574 --> 00:34:27,246
Paris Eustace Geller.
669
00:34:27,408 --> 00:34:29,477
Finally, a name I recognize.
670
00:34:34,409 --> 00:34:36,478
- Congratulations, Paris.
- No hard feelings.
671
00:34:36,659 --> 00:34:37,658
Okay.
672
00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:42,665
Lorelai Leigh Gilmore.
673
00:34:42,869 --> 00:34:45,177
- This is it.
- She looks so solemn.
674
00:34:45,369 --> 00:34:46,597
Like a Gilmore.
675
00:34:48,953 --> 00:34:51,942
- Congratulations, Rory.
- Thank you, Headmaster.
676
00:34:56,580 --> 00:34:59,047
- Lorelai, really.
- I taught her all I know.
677
00:34:59,246 --> 00:35:01,963
Honest to God, last time. Sorry.
678
00:35:09,874 --> 00:35:11,510
I need a pen. I
don't have a pen.
679
00:35:11,665 --> 00:35:13,264
- Give me your pen.
- I don't have a pen.
680
00:35:13,416 --> 00:35:14,974
Where's the pen
you take orders with?
681
00:35:15,124 --> 00:35:18,114
You have to stop assuming that I
take pens with me everywhere I go.
682
00:35:18,334 --> 00:35:20,608
- Never be without a pen.
- Thank you, Dad.
683
00:35:32,252 --> 00:35:34,208
How many more times
are you going to do that?
684
00:35:34,378 --> 00:35:35,969
I think about six.
685
00:35:37,795 --> 00:35:40,944
Class of 2003, give
yourselves a hand.
686
00:35:48,797 --> 00:35:50,388
How was my speech?
687
00:35:51,256 --> 00:35:53,564
It made everyone cry
including stone-cold Luke.
688
00:35:53,757 --> 00:35:56,951
- Luke, you old softy.
- I will never live this down.
689
00:35:57,174 --> 00:35:59,368
- Not with me around.
- I gotta go back to the diner.
690
00:35:59,549 --> 00:36:02,618
- Thanks for coming.
- Sure. The building's amazing.
691
00:36:05,050 --> 00:36:06,722
- So are you.
- Thanks.
692
00:36:09,509 --> 00:36:11,657
It really was great
of you to come, Luke.
693
00:36:11,843 --> 00:36:14,230
- It meant a lot to her.
- It was fun.
694
00:36:16,427 --> 00:36:19,621
If I don't see you, have
fun on your trip with Nicole.
695
00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:22,994
- We may not go now.
- You were looking forward to it.
696
00:36:23,303 --> 00:36:26,419
I don't know if the timing's
right. Things are kind of weird.
697
00:36:28,054 --> 00:36:31,204
It's because I teased you about
the commitment thing. I ruined it.
698
00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:32,464
No, that's not it.
699
00:36:32,597 --> 00:36:34,711
Promise me that's not it.
It would break my heart.
700
00:36:34,889 --> 00:36:37,765
You weren't wrong about
that. It got me thinking...
701
00:36:37,972 --> 00:36:39,928
it is kind of like
committing to her.
702
00:36:40,097 --> 00:36:42,053
- So?
- I don't want to lead her on.
703
00:36:42,223 --> 00:36:44,895
But you like her. You
like her a lot, don't you?
704
00:36:45,098 --> 00:36:47,088
- She's great.
- Then go.
705
00:36:47,266 --> 00:36:49,096
No matter what
she's reading into it.
706
00:36:49,266 --> 00:36:52,097
Really, you think that's
okay considering...
707
00:36:53,351 --> 00:36:54,703
everything?
708
00:36:57,309 --> 00:36:58,821
- I do.
- Okay.
709
00:36:59,809 --> 00:37:01,845
- I'll probably go then.
- Good.
710
00:37:02,018 --> 00:37:05,610
- I guess I was just nervous about nothing.
- That's what I think, too.
711
00:37:06,603 --> 00:37:09,831
- I'll see you in a couple of months.
- I'll see you then.
712
00:37:16,854 --> 00:37:18,526
I guess we should
say our goodbyes.
713
00:37:18,688 --> 00:37:21,677
Nanny made me a special
dinner, she makes a mean farturas.
714
00:37:21,897 --> 00:37:24,205
I'm glad you found me. I
wanted to say goodbye, too.
715
00:37:24,397 --> 00:37:26,545
Good. Good luck.
716
00:37:27,981 --> 00:37:31,334
It's weird, most of the
time I really hated you.
717
00:37:32,815 --> 00:37:34,691
I really hated you, too.
718
00:37:41,901 --> 00:37:44,617
I think it might be
time to present...
719
00:37:44,817 --> 00:37:46,489
Rory with her graduation gift.
720
00:37:46,652 --> 00:37:48,482
You guys didn't have
to get me anything.
721
00:37:48,652 --> 00:37:51,369
- Nonsense.
- This one wouldn't fit in an envelope...
722
00:37:51,569 --> 00:37:54,763
- so follow me, please.
- We're really excited about this one.
723
00:37:54,986 --> 00:37:56,861
- So am I.
- Good.
724
00:37:58,695 --> 00:38:01,367
There's your gift.
The one with the bow.
725
00:38:05,363 --> 00:38:08,717
For Pete's sake. It was the
only one there when I drove it up.
726
00:38:08,947 --> 00:38:10,937
You should've put a
more distinctive bow on it.
727
00:38:11,114 --> 00:38:13,625
How could I know every
kid here was getting a car?
728
00:38:13,822 --> 00:38:16,573
- You got me a car.
- We got you a car.
729
00:38:17,532 --> 00:38:19,885
That's amazing, thank you.
730
00:38:22,491 --> 00:38:23,560
Which one is it?
731
00:38:23,699 --> 00:38:25,735
Did you get her one for
every day of the week?
732
00:38:25,908 --> 00:38:28,466
We got her one
car. It's a little Prius.
733
00:38:28,659 --> 00:38:30,648
It's safe, it gets
great gas mileage.
734
00:38:30,825 --> 00:38:33,292
And it's the one that
Leonardo DiCaprio drives.
735
00:38:33,493 --> 00:38:35,244
Thank you.
736
00:38:35,410 --> 00:38:37,319
- I love you guys.
- We love you, too.
737
00:38:37,494 --> 00:38:38,927
And don't forget
to call about...
738
00:38:39,078 --> 00:38:41,385
Insurance, I'll do it
the second I get home.
739
00:38:41,397 --> 00:38:41,749
Good.
740
00:38:41,953 --> 00:38:46,228
- Congratulations. Thanks for your speech.
- You're welcome.
741
00:38:46,495 --> 00:38:48,087
I meant it, thank
you for everything.
742
00:38:48,246 --> 00:38:50,554
Have fun in Europe, both of you.
743
00:38:50,746 --> 00:38:52,463
- Thank you, Mom.
- When do you get back?
744
00:38:52,621 --> 00:38:55,691
- The 27th.
- We'll see you that Friday for dinner.
745
00:38:59,665 --> 00:39:03,495
- Explain the win-win-win thing again?
- Everybody wins, that's what it is.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

00:39:26,461 --> 00:39:27,938
Jess, is that you?
755
00:39:29,503 --> 00:39:32,459
I'm pretty sure it's you. You've
been calling and not speaking...
756
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:34,979
but want to say
something. Hello?
757
00:39:37,462 --> 00:39:39,816
You're not going
to talk, fine. I'll talk.
758
00:39:40,004 --> 00:39:41,914
You didn't handle
things right. At all.
759
00:39:42,089 --> 00:39:44,885
You could've told me that you
were having trouble in school...
760
00:39:45,089 --> 00:39:48,079
and weren't going to graduate,
that your dad had been there.
761
00:39:48,298 --> 00:39:50,685
Instead you ended up
not taking me to my prom...
762
00:39:50,881 --> 00:39:53,235
not coming to my graduation
and leaving again...
763
00:39:53,423 --> 00:39:55,538
without saying goodbye again.
764
00:39:55,841 --> 00:39:57,911
That's fine. I get it,
but that's it for me.
765
00:39:58,092 --> 00:40:01,400
I'm going to Europe tomorrow and
I'm going to Yale and I'm moving on.
766
00:40:01,634 --> 00:40:05,589
I'm not going to pine. I hope
you didn't think I was going to pine.
767
00:40:09,051 --> 00:40:12,882
I think I may have loved
you, but I just need to let it go.
768
00:40:17,845 --> 00:40:19,960
So that's it, I guess.
769
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:25,437
I hope you're good, I
want you to be good.
770
00:40:25,888 --> 00:40:27,445
Okay. Goodbye.

and stupid right now, but there it is.
772
00:40:32,472 --> 00:40:33,471
Goodbye.
773
00:40:52,727 --> 00:40:54,443
- You okay?
- I'm okay.
774
00:40:55,060 --> 00:40:57,810
- Come on.
- But Sookie and Jackson are out that way.

a different way.

- I have one more stop before we do.

- Hi, where's Rory?
- Out in the car.

- It was a really nice ceremony, wasn't it?
- It was beautiful.
779

- I just wanted to say something to you...

each other before your trip.

Lorelai?

00:41:51,737 --> 00:41:53,409
- Mom, wait.
- Hurry.

lot of wind resistance.

- Leaving our mark, got a knife?

- A knife, for what?
- Carving our initials. Knife.

The switchblade I keep in
my sock? No, I left it at home.

00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,228
I must have something here.
790

- Safety pin, perfect.
- We can't do this.
791
00:42:11,741 --> 00:42:15,015
Yes, we can. People
need to know we were here.

I'm in the yearbook.
793
00:42:16,491 --> 00:42:18,002
How about the wall?
794
00:42:18,158 --> 00:42:20,272
It's out in the open,
they'll trace it to us.
795
00:42:20,450 --> 00:42:22,360
They'll see LG and
RG and figure it was us?

- Somewhere in the floor?
- This marble is 200 years old.
798
00:42:26,492 --> 00:42:28,482
Harriet Beecher Stowe
walked on this marble.
799
00:42:30,201 --> 00:42:33,476
- The banister.
- Was donated by Robert Frost.
800
00:42:34,328 --> 00:42:35,397
The sconce.
801
00:42:35,536 --> 00:42:38,491
Was ceremonially lit for the
first time by Thomas Edison.
802
00:42:38,703 --> 00:42:40,898
Is there anything
in this whole room...
803
00:42:41,078 --> 00:42:43,795
that a famous dead person
was not associated with?
804
00:42:43,996 --> 00:42:47,190
This is very interesting,
architectural doodads and foo-faws.
805
00:42:47,413 --> 00:42:49,925
- And wing-dings and tum-tums.
- That was close.
806
00:42:50,581 --> 00:42:53,855
Just carve it really tiny here
in the baseboard of the wall...
807
00:42:54,081 --> 00:42:56,991
and do it reversed.
So, GL and GR.
808
00:42:58,248 --> 00:43:01,557
- Maybe it's not such a good idea.
- The madness passes.

Party at your place, right?
810
00:43:05,125 --> 00:43:07,000
- A party?
- Just a little gathering.

- We'll meet back at our house.
- See you there.

Wait.
813
00:43:13,418 --> 00:43:15,327
