6.01 The New and Improved Lorelai. As Luke comes in...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey... You, okay? Lorelai, what is it?"
"Nothing... Sorry... You said— a moment, a moment ago? Something about a moment?"
"Lorelai, what's going on?"
"It's... nothing."
"You're sitting here in the dark, in Rory's room, crying. That's not nothing."
"I'm not crying."
"I'm no Este Lauder, but I'm pretty sure mascara isn't supposed to run vertically down your cheeks like that. Has something happened?"
"No... Yes... My mother... then, Rory... Ugh! It shouldn't be like this, Luke!"
"I'm still up for that kidnaping intervention thing."
"I know. Which is part of why I love you so much."
"Well, I love you too..."
"You're cute when you smile like that."
"I am not cute."
"You are. How do you do it?"
"Be cute?"
"Always find a way to make me feel better?"
"Ah. Well, usually it involves a certain liquid stimulant and Deep Frying Crisco."
"Dirty! And, yes, those things certainly contribute to the overall happiness you bestow. But mostly, it's just you."
"I don't like to see you so upset about Rory. It's not right for you two."
"No, it isn't. But it's the right thing for right now. She needs to figure this out, Luke. For herself."
"Are you sure?"
"As sure as I am that my mother wouldn't be caught dead in flip flops... Oh, My God!"
"What!"
"I just hit on the one thing my mother and I have in common. So not what I want to focus on tonight."
"You both love Rory."
"Yes... Let's not talk about that now, please, Luke. Let's focus on us."
"Lorelai...."
"I'm serious, Luke..."
"Fine."
"Before, you said— a moment."
"The moon is full... I wanted to take you outside to... give you something."
"Something?"
"Yes."
"Outside?"
"Yes."
"You want to give me something outside?"
"Under the full moon, yes."
"You want to give me something outside under the full—"
"Lorelai!"
"What!"
"Stop the echo, I'm begging you! Could we just go outside now?"
"For the moment?"
"Yes..."
"The moment outside...?"
"Stop!"
"You know I don't need another moment, Luke. You know that, right? The moment we hadthe othernight... Well, that was perfect by me. No way to improve on that moment..."
"It was pretty great, wasn't it?"
"Yep."
"But now I want another moment My moment."
"Okay, Luke. Your moment. Gotcha."
"Good."
"Your moment outside, under the full—"
"Move your ass outside now, Gilmore!"
"Im going! I'm going! Hey, can we go up to bed afterwards?"
"Absolutely."
"But, Luke, no Zima tonight."
"Fine."
"Because, Oy! The dreams I had..."
"Keep moving. Keep moving..."
"First Paris had Rory tied up in a deserted warehouse and was trying to brainwash her into going back to Yale with this really bright light..."
"Out the door, please..."
"And then, get this; Maisie won an Emmy!"
"Lorelai, the moment is slipping away..."
"It's just thatthe other nightI said we should have sex and Zima every night..."
"Lorelai, what is your point?"
"My point is: No Zima tonight."
"Fine. Fine. No Zima tonight."
"Good. That's all I'm saying. No Zima. Only bad dreams come from Zima. Bad, bad dreams, Luke. And I'm not talking 'bad' as in good 'bad.'
"Okay. Stop here. The Chuppah. This'll work. Unless... you associate it with...?"
"No. The Chuppah's good. I'm definitely ready for the moment now, Luke... Hey, what's wrong?"
"We can still have the sex though, right?"
"What?"
"I mean no Zima is fine, but..."
"Oh, right. The sex. Sure. Sex is good.."
"Good, good..."
"Okay! Let The Moment begin!"
"..."
"Luke... what's wrong now?"
"Did you say----Maisie won an Emmy?"
