RORY: A teacher?

LORELAI: You're going to become a teacher?

LUKE: Yes. Yes a teacher.

LORELAI: Rory, listen to this. Mr. Danes, I didn't do my homework. Punish me.

LUKE grabs coffee and pours it down sink.

LUKE: Coffee makes you stay awake. Its late. You need to sleep. Remember?

LORELAI: Hey that wasn't fair!

RORY: You did say punish me.

LORELAI: I was kidding. Couldn't you tell by the tone in my voice?

RORY: Your voice tone was normal.

LORELAI: No, it had that quirky charm in it. Were you listening at all?

RORY: So Luke, what school are you teaching at?

LUKE(Mumbling): Chilton.

LORELAI: Red ham?

RORY: Yellow Salami?

LUKE: I said Chilton!

RORY: Chilton? I go to Chilton.

LUKE: I know.

LORELAI: You need a degree you know. You can't just waltz right in there and say "Hey, I'm going to teach. I know some girl called Rory Gilmore, the daughter of the extremely attractive Lorelai Gilmore."

LUKE: I have taught.

RORY: You have? When?

LUKE: A couple of years back.

LORELAI: Where?

LUKE(Mumbling): Harvard.

LORELAI: What?

LUKE: Harvard.

RORY: You? You taught at Harvard?

LUKE: Yeah. I was thinking about even giving you a recommendation, if you want.

LORELAI: You could have given us a recommendation?

LUKE(Sadly): Yeah

LORELAI: Well Mr. Sad Pants, why are you so sad?

LUKE: I'm going to have to see you every day. Not only here, but at school.

RORY looks offended. RORY walks out door.

LORELAI: Luke! What is your problem? First the whole coffee spilling incident. Then you didn't realize that my voice had the quirkiness that it usually has. And now you just said Rory was bad. Well I'm going.

LORELAI attempts to exit.

LORELAI: Hurry up with the coffee.

Exit.

SCENE: Stars Hallow Pavilion, Lorelai chases after Rory

LORELAI: Slow down! I never knew you could walk so fast!

RORY: Sorry…I'm just. A bit. Hurt.

LORELAI: Well he hasn't had much money and I don't think he wants a new job. He isn't blaming you.

RORY: He was.

LORELAI: He didn't mean it. Something else is up isn't it?

RORY has been looking at the ground until now.

RORY: How did you know?

LORELAI: I just know. What is it?

RORY: I have a crush on him.

LORELAI: Luke? But you're going out with Dean.

RORY: It isn't serious…I just like him.

LORELAI: Well wow. I never thought…I just…wow.

RORY: I can't do anything with him, a relationship or whatever.

LORELAI(Quickly): No! He's too old.

RORY: Can I have some of your coffee?

LORELAI: Sure.
