Confusions of Lorelai

Lorelai's House

(Door opens, Rory enters)

Rory: Hello?!?!

Lorelai (OS): Kitchen!!

(Kitchen, Enter Rory from entrance hall)

(Lorelai looks over shoulder as Rory enters but turns back to the fridge, food surrounding her all over the floor.)

Lorelai: Hey, kid!

Rory: How are you ----- What are you doing?!?!

Lorelai: What's it look like I'm doing??

Rory: It's looks like you're cleaning out the fridge.

Lorelai: Ding, Ding, Ding. We have a winner!! What do you have for her Johnny??

Rory: So I see we're still miss sarcasm today. Still haven't decided what your going to do yet, huh??

Lorelai: Geee.......... I don't know --------- oh wait. I think. We have. Yes, it is!! I think you've finally won the "stupidest question of the year" award.

Rory: Jeez!! Sorry.

Lorelai: (sighs) No don't apologize. (Whines) I'm just so confused. (says this in a whiny voice) (puts last of food that she's keeping back in the fridge)

Rory: I hate to ask this but------

Lorelai: (interupts) than why don't you not ask.

Rory: But I have to.

Lorelai: (Sighs) Okay. Fine. What??

Rory: Has either one of them called yet today??

Lorelai: (Rolls eyes) Gee.... How did I know that was going to be the question??

Rory: Because you know me. (smart ass smile) (Lorelai rolls eyes again) How about because you can Read My Mind??

Lorelai: If I had a choice I'd choose the "Reading your mind". But I can't read minds, so I guess I'll have to go with the first one.

(Cut to Rory. Rory smiles. Fade To Black)

(Opening Credits)

(Cut back to Rory and Lorelai as they exit the house)

Rory: Sooo..... What's the answer??

Lorelai: To what??

Rory: Did either one of them call yet??

Lorelai: Oh that. No they haven't.

Rory: Well..........is that good or bad??

Lorelai: I don't know. I want to say it's good. Because that means I won't have to have made up my mind yet but.....

Rory (interupts): bad because that may mean neither of them are interested anymore.

Lorelai: Exactly!!

Rory: Okay. I get it.

Lorelai: Can we change the subject?? Please??

Rory: Mom, You're going to have to think about this sooner or later.

Lorelai: Yes. I know that. But I would like for it to be later.

Rory: MOM!!

Lorelai: Rory!!

Rory: Fine. change of subject.

(Pans behind them and shows that they are walking down main street, and Luke is following closely behind.)

Luke (sneaks up behind them): Hey!!

Lorelai (automatically puts hand to chest like she's having a heart attack): Oh my God!! Luke........... Hey. (Slowly lowers hand from heart)

Rory: Hi, Luke!

Luke: Hey, Rory!! Lorelai, how are you??

Lorelai: Aside from recovering from the heart attack you just gave me about 30 seconds ago??

(Rory looks at Lorelai and rolls her eyes, returns her focus towards Luke.)

(Luke chuckles)

Rory: She's fine.

(Lorelai's cell phone rings)

Luke: Who's that??

Rory: Who's that?? (at the same time)

Lorelai: I don't know give me a chance to look at it first.

(Looks at number on cell phone, and hands it to Rory)

Rory: Who is it?? (looks at number) Oh! (answers) Hello?!

Luke: Who is it??

Lorelai: My parents.

Luke: Still not talking to them, huh??

Lorelai: No.

Rory: What?? (Talking on phone indistinct)

Luke: So have you thought about it yet??

Lorelai: (Closes eyes. Sighs, and rubs eyes)

Luke: What??

Lorelai: I don't know, Luke.

Luke: What do you mean??

Lorelai: (Shakes head, while thinking) (Opens eyes) I'm not sure it's right.

(Rory hangs up phone and hangs back listening to Lorelai and Luke's conversation)

Rory: (interupts) Here, Mom.

Lorelai: (to Rory) Thanks. Why don't you go ahead and I'll catch up??

Rory: (to Luke) Can I just borrow her really quick??

Luke: Sure. I'll be here.

Rory: Thanks.

(pulls Lorelai away to talk to her)

Lorelai: What??

Rory: Mom, what are you going say to him.

Lorelai: I don't have to tell you.

Rory: Give him a chance.

Lorelai: What??

Rory: (not listening to Lorelai) And whatever you do don't break his heart. (pause) Okay??

Lorelai: Can I say something??

Rory: NO!!

Lorelai: Okay fine.

(lorelai walks back towards Luke, waiting to hear what she says. Rory walks on towards Luke's shaking her head as she walks.)

Luke: So??

Lorelai: Ummmm.....(closes eyes again), (Luke takes her face in his hands)

Luke: Will you open your eyes??

Lorelai: (Opens eyes) (Bites lower lip) (sighs) Okay.

Luke: Okay??

Lorelai: Yes. I'll go out with you.

(Luke quickly puts his hands to his sides, with a surprised look on his face)

Luke: Really??

Lorelai: Yes.

Luke: Are you sure??

Lorelai: You keep asking me and I just might change my mind.

Luke: (Stammering) Uhh..... Okay.

(camera pans to Luke's diner where the whole town is staring out the window at Luke and Lorelai talking)

Luke: Well... I have to get back to the diner.

Lorelai: I'm headed that direction myself.

Luke: Okay.

Lorelai: Okay.

(Luke and Lorelai look at each other, share a smile, than Luke starts to walk away. Camera stays on Lorelai who continues to smile, while watching him leave. After a few seconds, she looks up to the sky but continues to smile. and then looks back at Luke as he enters the diner.)

Fade to Black

(Cut to Luke's Diner)

(Lorelai sees Rory and sits down next to her.)

Rory (sounding impatient): Well??

Lorelai (ignoring Rory): (Smiles and winks at Luke as he walks by with another customers order. Luke sees her and smiles back. and shakes his head as if he's trying not pay attention to her. This is because Lorelai has started to look at him with an adoration look on her face.)

Rory: MOM!!

Lorelai (snaps out of the trance she seemed to be in): What??

Rory: Finally I have your attention!!

Lorelai: (looks at Rory with an innocent look on her face)

Rory: I'm guessing you said yes??

Lorelai: (love sigh) Yeah.

Rory: (leans to Lorelai's ear, and whispers) I'll wait to scream my head off until we get home okay??

Lorelai: (whispers back) I'd appreciate that.

(Luke walks up to their table, with ordering pad in hand)

Rory: So, where are we going from here??

Lorelai: Well........would you be upset if I said I have to stop at the Inn?

Rory: Mom!! This was supposed to be R&R day.

Luke: R&R??

Lorelai: Rest & Relaxation. I know!! And it will be really quick.....(looks at Luke)

Luke: What can I get ya??

Rory: Get me the rant meal??

Luke: Okay. (to Lorelai) What's she mad about??

Lorelai: Hold on. Really quick, and then the rest of the day will be........which movie haven't we seen in a while?? (to Luke) she's mad because today's supposed to be a girl day, and I have to go to the Inn for something. (saying this so Rory gets the hint) That won't take that long!!

Rory: (thinks a little bit) Okay, I get it!! (gasps) Ooo. I know, I know!!

Lorelai: What??

Rory: Godfather??

Lorelai: 1, 2, & 3??

Rory: Heck yeah!!

Lorelai: I'll take cheeseburger, fries, onion rings, and a cherry coke.

Luke: Okay. This will only take a couple minutes.

Lorelai: Okay. (watches Luke walk away, ignoring Rory again)

Rory: (indistinct) Hello??? (waves hand in front of Lorelai's face) Anyone there??

Lorelai: (shaken out of trance) Huh??

Rory: Mom?!?!

Lorelai: What??

(Rory smiles at Lorelai as if to say "I know you really like him") (Lorelai looks back at Luke as he walks by bringing an order to someone else)

Fade to Black

(Lorelai's cell phone rings again, Lorelai is in her trance again and has barely touched her food)

(Rory hears it ring and takes it from Lorelai's purse, she looks at the number on the caller ID and taps Lorelai on the shoulder)

Rory: Mom??

Lorelai: What??

(Rory shows Lorelai the number)

Lorelai: Oh!!!

Rory: Do you want to talk to him or do you want me to tell him??

Lorelai: (sighs) No, I'm a big girl. I need to do this. Hey, eat some of my food so it doesn't look like I'm not eating.

Rory: But you're not!!

Lorelai: Please??

Rory: Okay I'll eat half of your burger maybe all of it but I'm not making any promises.

Lorelai: As long as some of it is gone.

Rory: Okay (and takes Lorelai's burger off of her plate and starts to eat it)

(Cut to Lorelai, walking outside so Luke doesn't hear her on the phone)

Lorelai: Hello.

(Scene cuts between Lorelai and Jason)

Jason: Hey!!

Lorelai: What do you want Jason??

Jason: I figured I would call and ask you if......

Lorelai: (interupts) If I have thought about dating you again??

Jason: (sounding a little upset that she interupted) Umm.... yeah.... Is that okay??

Lorelai: Gee..... Jason I don't know. You decide to sue my father and then all of the sudden expect me to fall back into your arms like nothing ever happened. How would you feel in my position??

Jason: Well...... I wouldn't be extremely happy.

Lorelai: Then what do YOU think my answer's going to be??

Jason: Well, I had to try right??

Lorelai: (Getting upset with him) Jason, all you had to do was think about it for more than one second and you would should have known my answer a long time ago!!!!

Jason: Sorry for bothering you.

Lorelai: (calming down) (Sighs) It's okay Jason.

Jason: Goodbye.

Lorelai: Goodbye Jason. (Hangs up)

(Cut to the inside of the diner) (Luke walks up to Rory's table, and sees Lorelai outside)

Luke: What's going on with her??

Rory: Oh. Well... she got a call.... As you can see. And decided to abide by the rules of your diner by going outside to talk on her cell phone.

Luke: But that's never stopped her before.

Rory: Well.... she thought this time she would be different.

Luke: It's Jason isn't it??

Rory: Luke, he called her and she went outside so you wouldn't have to hear it.

Luke: What's she telling him??

Rory: I don't know. But when she comes in I'm planning on asking if that makes you feel any better. I will even tell you later, okay??

Luke: (frowns) (sighs) Okay. Thanks.

Rory: (as Lorelai walks in) No problem.

(Luke looks at her, smiles and walks away)

(Lorelai sits back down)

Lorelai: What was that all about?? (indicating Luke)

Rory: Oh nothing. Just concern that's all.

Lorelai: Ohhkay.

Rory: So?? What'd he say??

Lorelai: I recorded the call, so you can listen to it later.

Rory: Okay. Cool.

Lorelai: Hey you ate all my food.

Rory: You told me to.

Lorelai: I love my little miss literal. I'll go pay and then we will go to the Inn, stop by the movie store and Doose's and go home and enjoy the rest of our day.

Rory: With the "Godfather"!!

Lorelai: You got it!!! Go on outside and I'll be out in a minute.

Rory: Okay. Don't take too long! (Goes outside)

Lorelai: I'll try not to. (walks up to the cash register) Hey!!

Luke: Hey!! You ready to pay??

Lorelai: Yes I am.

Luke: Okay. (smiles at her) (Lorelai smiles back) It'll be $12.34.

Lorelai: Okay. (takes out some bills and pays him) Keep it.

Luke: Thanks.

Lorelai: No problem.

Luke: Hey Lorelai??

Lorelai: Yeah??

Luke: Can I talk to you for a minute??

Lorelai: Sure!

Luke: (walks to kitchen door) (says quietly) Ceaser I'll be right back.

Ceaser: (sees Lorelai waiting for Luke) Okay. Take your time.

(Luke shakes his head at Ceaser, and walks into the storage room, Lorelai follows)

Luke: So I was thinking maybe we could get together tomorrow night. That is if you don't already have plans.

Lorelai: Actually, I don't. I'm am a free woman all week.

Luke: (surprised) Really??

Lorelai: Yeah. And I would love to.

Luke: Okay. So I'll pick you up about 7:30??

Lorelai: That's fine.

Luke: Okay. I'll see you then.

Lorelai: Yeah. I'll see you then.

(Luke and Lorelai share another smile as Lorelai walks out of the storage room. Luke remains there.)

Cut to Lorelai's House the next night

(Cut to the clock on the desk in the entryway, it says 7:00 P.M.)

(Lorelai is upstairs in her bedroom getting ready for her date with Luke)

(Rory is sitting in the living room reading waiting for her to come down)

Rory: Mom come on!!

Lorelai: (OS) Hey Rory??

Rory: Yes mom?!

Lorelai: (OS) Can you come here??

Rory: Ummm.... Sure! (softer) Why not? I mean your just getting ready for your date with Luke that everyone has knows would happen eventually.

(Rory walks into Lorelai's bedroom that in covered with clothes, every inch of furniture and the floor are no longer visible.)

Rory: What do you..... Jeez!!! It looks like your closet threw up in here!!

Lorelai: (from closet) Shut up!!! and help me find something to wear.

(Lorelai enters in a bathrobe)

Rory: (with an astonished look on her face) Mom!!! You're not dressed yet??

Lorelai: Does it look like I'm dressed??

Rory: Sorry. Here. (grabs something off of Lorelai's chair next to her closet. It's a black dress, with a low V-neck. Hands it to Lorelai) Shoes. Shoes. (Sees Lorelai still standing there) What are you doing?? He'll be here in (looks at watch) 20 minutes. Go change. I'll find you some shoes, earrings and a necklace to go with it now hurry!!!

(Lorelai heads to bathroom)

Fade to Black

Lorelai:(OS) Rory, do you think I did the right thing??

Rory: Yes mom, I do.

Lorelai: (While entering her bedroom again) I don't know.

Rory: (walks up to Lorelai holding a pair of shoes, a necklace, and a pair of earrings.) Mom, you like him. He likes you. I've known you two belong together since I first met him.

Lorelai: How can you be so sure??

Rory: Just trust me. I know.

Lorelai: Okay. But..... (Doorbell rings)

Rory: To late.

Lorelai: Okay last looks.

Rory: You look amazing.

Lorelai: Can you pick this up for me??

Rory: Why do you think he's going to be seeing this room tonight??

Lorelai: I don't know. But I want it picked up so when I get home I can get into my pajamas and just go straight to bed and not have to worry about having to pick up anything and.....

Rory: Okay!!! I'll do it. Just go!!!!

Lorelai: (Hugs Rory) Thank you!! Bye and G'night. (kisses Rory's head)

Rory: 'Night.

Cut to Front door

(Lorelai opens the door and Luke is standing there)

Luke: Hi.

Lorelai: Hi.

Luke: Are you ready to go??

Lorelai: Yeah. Rory we're leaving!!!!

Rory (OS): Okay. Have a good night.

(Luke walks Lorelai down the front steps, and Rory is watching out the window)

Fade to Black

(Luke and Lorelai enter a restaurant)

Luke: Here it is!!

Lorelai: Wow, I like it. This place looks amazing.

Luke: Well, actually I probably should warn you before----

Maggie: LUKE!!

(Lorelai looks surprised) (almost jealous)

Luke: Hey Mags!! (Hugs her) (Notices Lorelai's face) Oh sorry. Lorelai this Maggie. Maggie, Lorelai. Maggie owns this place with her husband, Damien. I went to high school with both of them.

Lorelai: Oh Okay.

Luke: Speaking of, where is the pain in my ass??

Maggie: He's not just a pain in your ass, and he's in the back. (to Lorelai) And nice to meet you.

Lorelai: (to Maggie) Nice to meet you too. (They smile at each other, uncomfortable smiles)

Luke: Oh!! Hiding from me I assume.

Maggie: Probably. Here I'll seat you guys. (walks them to a booth in the corner)

Luke: Thanks.

Maggie: Here you go!!

Luke: Thanks Mags!! Hey send Daim out as soon as he can okay??

Maggie: Okay I will. And say goodbye before you leave okay??

Luke: I will.

(Maggie walks away)

(Luke now looks at Lorelai who looks shy stricken)

Luke: Hey, You okay??

Lorelai: Yeah, I'm okay.

Luke: You sure??

Lorelai: (sighs and smiles at him) Yes. I'm fine.

Fade to Black

(Luke and Lorelai are walking down main street in the moonlight. Luke slips his hand into hers, Lorelai looks down at their hands, looks at Luke and smiles, while Luke just keeps looking straight ahead. After Lorelai turns forward Luke looks at her and smiles. He stops walking. Lorelai looks at him.)

Lorelai: What??

Luke: Look at you.

Lorelai: What??

Luke: You're beautiful.

Lorelai: (Smiles shyly, and shrugs it off) No I'm not.

Luke: Yes, you are.

Lorelai: Well..... thank you!! (turns to face him, and he does the same) Luke----

Luke: Shhh. (presses his index finger to her lips) (leans in to kiss her. They kiss, than he takes a step back to admire her some more)

(takes her face in his hands while looking into her eyes, he leans into her as if to kiss her again then notices that everyone around them has stopped walking and is now staring at him and Lorelai)

Luke: (Whispers) I think we have an audience.

Lorelai: (Whispers back to him) Does it look like I care?? (Leans into his kiss)

Cut to Lorelai's driveway

(Luke's truck pulls up and he gets out, goes around opens the door for Lorelai) (Luke walks Lorelai to her door, while they are walking they hold hands, Lorelai looks at him and smiles when she sees him looking at her too.)

Cut to inside/living room

(Rory is sitting reading a different book than before, when she hears Luke's truck pull up she closes the book gets up and goes to the window in time to see Luke let Lorelai out of the truck and continues to watch as Luke and Lorelai look at each other and smile then goes back to the couch and sits down to wait for Lorelai to come in.)

Cut to Lorelai's porch

(Luke and Lorelai are standing at the door looking at each other. Luke puts his arms around her waist and pulls her to him. She realizes what he is doing and gives in, putting her arms around his neck she pulls his head level with hers. They kiss. She pulls her lips away and smiles at him. Then she moves back towards him and they kiss, and kiss again. Finally she pulls away from him and opens the front door. She leans into him again and kisses him.)

Lorelai: Goodnight, Luke.

Luke: (Sighs) Goodnight.

(They smile at each other) (She goes inside)

Cut to Entryway

(We hear Luke's truck start and he pulls away. We see Lorelai lean against the door and put her head against the door.)

Rory: (OS) So?? How did it go??

Lorelai: (still in a trance) (love sigh) It went great!!!

Rory: (shows up in the entryway, takes Lorelai's arm and brings her into the living room) As in??

Lorelai: Well..... we started out a little rocky. He brought me to this place that is owned by some people he went to high school with. Great food, good portions. Remind me to bring you there sometime. It's called "Beverly Hill Tavern" kind of oxy-moronic, but still a good place. The waiters are really nice and Maggie and Damien the people that own the place are really nice too. Than we walked main street for a while........... Fades out While fading to Black
