Help!!!!!
Previously on Gilmore Girls
(scenes from pre-aired episodes)
Fade to Black
(Screen still black from pre-show previous scenes) (We hear a door slam)
Lorelai (OS): Holy Crap!!! Luke is that you??
(Cut to downstairs view, looking down to a Luke very upset)
Luke: Yes it's me!!!!
(hear another door slam shut)
Lorelai (OS): Luke?? What's going on??
Luke: Trust me you don't want to know.
Lorelai: (OS) Oh yes I do. (comes into scene, Descending stairs) What did you say to April now?? She's already mad enough at Anna to last the rest of her childhood...
Luke: (cuts her off) Don't say that. (quietly)
Lorelai: What??
Luke: Childhood.
Lorelai: Oh is that what you said to her?? That she was still a child??
Luke: (rolls his eyes) Yeah. I guess in a way.
April (OS): (from her room) I'M NOT A CHILD!!!!!!!
Luke: I know I'm sorry. What I said came out wrong. (we hear a stereo turn up full blast.) April?? Are you listening to me??
Lorelai: (we see Luke walk out of the Living room shortly followed by a very confused looking Lorelai) Luke?? What happened??
Luke: Well... she has a "guy"...
April: (comes barging out of her room) I'm 16 and if I want to have a boyfriend and that's what he is not a "guy" friend as you call him, than I will. And there's nothing you or Anna can say about it!!!!!!! Got it?? (doesn't even wait for an answer. Just turns right around and walks back into her room and slams her door again)
Luke: (sighs) Help me please...
Lorelai: I can try to talk to her if you want me to. But I'm not her mom yet. So she technically doesn't have to listen to me.
Luke: But she likes you. And usually if someone likes you than they will listen to you. Trust me. (looks at her like "I did")
Lorelai: Yes, but that was you. You're a grown man, you can't resist my charm. (quietly) No man can.
Luke: Oh thanks.
Lorelai: (not listening to Luke, and without missing a beat) But she's a teenage girl okay?? I had enough trouble with Rory when she was this age. (quietly) --- And no offense but I think April could be a lot worse.
Luke: Thanks.
Lorelai: Hey. I said no offense.
Luke: Yeah Yeah I get it.
Lorelai: Good. Now why don't you go back to the diner and I'll try talk to her.
Luke: Okay. I guess I can do that. Will you let me know what happens??
Lorelai: It depends on if she wants you to know. (gives him a quick kiss, Luke walks out) (we hear the front door shut once more) (turns to face April's door)
Opening Credits
(Fade to Black)
Lorelai: (quietly knocks) April?? (Through the door) Can I come in??
April (OS): Is it just you??
Lorelai: (through door) Yes. Your dad went back to the diner.
April: Then Yeah, I guess.
Lorelai: (opens the door and walks in) Hey. How're you doing??
April: (looks at her with a face that seems to say "you're kidding right?")
Lorelai: Right. Do you want to talk about it??
April: Not really. But I have a feeling that if I don't than I'll be forced to talk eventually.
Lorelai: Not by me. If you don't want to talk about it than we don't have to. I just thought I would give you a sympathetic ear.
April: And as soon as I tell you you'll tell dad right??
Lorelai: Not if you don't want me to. It's entirely up to you.
April: Yeah right.
Lorelai: No I mean it. If you tell me something you don't want your dad to know, with a few select things, than I won't tell him. And he already knows that.
April: (raises eyebrows) Really??
Lorelai: Really.
April: Well... (we hear front door open and Rory burst in yelling)
Rory (OS): Mom?? (pause) Mom?? (another pause) MOM!?!?!?! I saw your jeep in the driveway so I know you're here.
April: (upset) Sure as soon as I want to tell someone something that I really need to get out... (trails off)
Lorelai: I know, I know. Let me take care of this really quick and than I will be at your disposal for the rest of the day okay?? (looks at April apoligetically)
April: Okay. I guess. Go ahead. I'll wait for you right here. I promise.
Lorelai: Okay then. (gets up and walks out of the room into the kitchen than to the living room) Rory?? What's wrong??
Rory: (crosses arms across her chest, causing baby bump to show more than previous episode) I should be really mad at you.
Lorelai: (mimics rory by crossing her arms across her chest too) Why??
Rory: You're pregnant and you felt that it wasn't important to tell me!!!! You're best friend. You're only child.
Lorelai: Well for one. I'm not pregnant. And two if I was than you wouldn't be my only child any more would you?? Three, again if I was what makes you think you wouldn't be the first one to find out. Well other than Luke. And four, where did you hear this from?? Because I'm going to kick their scrawny little butts.
Rory: So... you're not pregnant?? (disappointed look on her face)
Lorelai: No sweety. Sorry to disappoint you. But you obviously are. Wow, all of a sudden you're showing like crazy. There shouldn't be a soul in town that doesn't know you're pregnant now.
Rory: Oh it's okay mom. And thanks I'm trying to show the baby off as much as possible.
Lorelai: Oh well I get that. Trust me I get that. So if that's all then...
Rory: Oh you're trying to get rid of me now, huh?? Is that it??
Lorelai: Well I was kind of busy when you came in screaming your head off.
Rory: With what??
(April exits her room, Rory sees her)
Rory: Oh.
April: Thanks for the nice welcome, Rory.
Rory: Sorry, Hi April. It's nice to see you again.
April: Same here Rory.
Lorelai: (looks at Rory with a face that kind of says "I'm busy here") Can I meet you a Luke's later and we'll spend time together then??
Rory: Yeah sure. I'll see you there. See you later April.
April: Bye Rory.
Lorelai: See you kid. (whispers in her ear as she hugs her) Thank you.
Rory: (whispers back into Lorelai's ear) You're welcome. (louder) Love you, mom.
Lorelai: (louder than before) Love you too, kid. (Rory walks out the front door.) So...
April: So...
Lorelai: You were going to tell me something.
April: Right. Um... You might want to sit down for this.
Lorelai: Okay. (goes over to the couch and sits, than motions for April to sit down next to her)
Fade to Black
(Cut to Luke's Diner) (Rory walks in)
Luke: (sees her, he's in the middle of bringing some customers their plates) Rory!! What are you doing here??
Rory: Jeez I'm just getting great greetings from every direction today. (sarcastically)
Luke: (Puts down plates, shaking his head at Rory's comment) Here you go. Can I get you anything else??
Customer: A refill would be nice..
Luke: Okay. Coffee and what else?? What'd you have??
Customer: Just Coffee will be fine.
Luke: Okay. I'll have someone bring it right to you. (turns and walks to the counter where Rory has taken a seat) Lane.
Lane: Yeah Luke.
Luke: Can you bring some coffee to the man in the red cap??
Lane: Sure. (to Rory) Be right back.
Rory: Sure Sure go work.
Lane: (smiles at this comment, to Rory, then grabs coffee pot and walks away) (to herself) Crazy.
Luke: (hears what Lane said and smiles and kind of chuckles at it) (to Lane) As always. Get's it from her mom. (Lane smiles back at him) (to Rory) Now, Coffee??
Rory: (looks at him like "do you honestly still have to ask??") Sure.
Luke: Okay. (turns to grab the other coffee pot, turns back and grabs a mug and begins pouring her coffee) Here you go.
Rory: Thank you.
Luke: Now what was that comment about "great greetings from every direction"??
Rory: Oh. Well... when I went to see mom about (cautiously) s...omething (normally) she basically shooed me away.
Luke: (chuckles at this comment) Oh. Well... do you want a real welcome now that I can give you one??
Rory: I wouldn't mind it.
Luke: (comes around the counter and embraces Rory in a big hug) Welcome home.
Rory: It's great to be here.
Luke: (releasing her) Good.
Another customer: (OS) Can I get something to eat over here??
Luke: I have to go take care of this.
Rory: Oh sure. Go. I'll be fine right here.
(Luke smiles at her, and walks away)
(cut to Lorelai and April walking down the sidewalk)
Lorelai: Wow.
April: I know.
Lorelai: WOW!!
April: I know.
Lorelai: When??
April: About a week and a half ago.
Lorelai: Tell me you used some kind of... (trails off)
April: Yes we did. I'm not an idiot you know.
Lorelai: I know. My God. Luke is going to be really upset.
April: I don't want him to know.
Lorelai: April, I can't keep something like this from him.
April: But you said that if I didn't want him to know than you wouldn't tell him.
Lorelai: But April something like this... I have to tell him.
April: No!!! You can't!!!!! I'll be a dead girl. I'll no longer exist. There will be nothing left of me. Not even enough to look good at the funeral.
Lorelai: You hang out with me way (stretches the word 'way' out) to much, and it won't be that bad. I promise.
April: Oh yes it will.
Lorelai: Can you at least give your dad a chance?? For me??
April: (hesitantly) Okay I guess. But I don't want to be anywhere near the diner when you tell him okay?? (starts running the opposite direction as they get closer to the diner)
Lorelai: (yells after her) Fair enough.
April: (still running) Thank you. Now I'm going to Aunt Liz's to play with the baby okay?? But don't tell dad. I don't want the baby to see him kill me.
Lorelai: (laughing to herself) Okay. Okay.
April: Thank you, Lorelai.
Lorelai: You're welcome. (continues walking towards the diner)
(cut to inside of the diner, lunch rush, Luke and Lane are running around trying to get orders taken and delivering them. Lorelai walks in)
Lorelai: (eyes wide she sees Rory motion her to come over to her because she has saved Lorelai a seat.) (sits down) (to Rory) Holy crap. Look at this crowd.
Rory: Yeah I know. They've been coming in none stop since I got here. It's kind of entertaining actually.
Lorelai: Yeah??
Rory: Oh yeah. It's crazy stuff. Like the dude in the Red cap has been sitting there since before I got here. And all he's ordered so far is coffee and a cherry danish. Luke's getting...
Lorelai: Ooo I know. It's male version of me.
Rory: Pretty much.
Lorelai: Except instead of flirting with him he's getting pissed at him. Am I right??
Rory: Basically. Except I swear about 5 mins ago he was flirting.
Lorelai: No.
Rory: Oh yeah. Flirting with disaster that is. (they both chuckle a little)
Luke: (walks over behind the counter and reaches for another mug and places it in front of Lorelai) Coffee??
Lorelai: Well if you're too busy I'll just take some of Rory's.
Rory: (looks at Lorelai) Like hell you will.
Lorelai: (to Rory) Okay fine. (to Luke) I guess... (luke walks away)
Luke: (as he's walking away from her and Rory) (to Lorelai) Busy, if you want some pour it yourself.
Lorelai: (gasps) Really?? What a privalige. I feel honored. (as she's getting up, to get the coffee pot)
Luke: (comes back) (grabs the pot from her) Hang on. How many??
Lorelai: (lies) Umm... 2.
Luke: Nice try. How about the real number or you're not getting any at all??
Lorelai: (wrinkles her nose as if to say "darn it") Okay fine. 5. (Luke's looking at like "And you think I'm going to give you more??", as she walks back around the counter and sits down on the stool next to Rory) But if you had had the morning I had, You would have Started drinking coffee.
Luke: Okay I get it. (pours her some coffee) There you...
Red cap: Can I get some more coffee??
Luke: (stops in mid-pour) This guy's driving me crazy. I'm gonna kill him.
Lorelai: You're not going to kill one of your customers.
Luke: Be right back (walks over to the customer)
Lorelai: Hey!! You're not done here mister!!!
Luke: Keep your pants on!!!
Red cap: I planned on it.
Luke: Sorry. I wasn't talking to you. (glares at Lorelai)
Lorelai: (trying not to grin. Laughs to herself) (mouths) Sorry.
Luke: (still looking at Lorelai) Mm-hmm. (turns his attenetion back to customer) Can I get you anything else??
Red cap: No I think this will do it. Thank you.
Luke: Okay. You're Welcome. (walks back to the counter) (the crowd starts leaving, and dying down)
Lorelai: (trying not to laugh but not succeeding) (starts laughing quietly) (to Luke) Oh my god. I can't believe you said that in front of a customer. (looks at Rory, who is also laughing)
Luke: (trying to organize things on the counter) (sarcastically) Ha Ha!! You're funny, you know that??
Lorelai: (takes a drink of coffee) Of course I do. That's my life.
Luke: No coffee is your life. Than comes the comedy you try daily. Than me. And Rory.
Lorelai: No correction there.
Luke: What?? (looks at Rory)
(Rory is again trying not to laugh, because she knows what Lorelai is about to say.)
Lorelai: Actually... it's Rory than you. (surpressing a grin) Sorry.
Luke: (sarcastically) Oh I see how it is. (starts to walk away to clear off the a table.)
Lorelai: (catches him by his shirt) Where do you think you're going??
Rory: Woah. Hang on. Kid in the room. (starts to cover her eyes playfully)
Lorelai: (pulls Luke back to face her, while at the same time he's trying to get away from her) (looks over her shoulder at Rory) You're not a kid. Obviously. (point at Rory's stomach)
Luke: What are you... (Lorelai cuts him off by giving him a quick kiss.)
Lorelai: Hi.
Luke: Hi. (As she lets go to go back to her seat next to Rory, he wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her back to him, and kisses her deeper)
Lorelai: (when they break apart) Hello.
Luke: (clears throat) Hey. (lets go of her to go clean the table.)
Lorelai: (goes back and sits down next to Rory) (whispers) Wow.
Rory: (whispering too) He still catches you by surprise sometimes huh??
Lorelai: You could say that. (to Luke who is scampering back and forth trying to clean off some tables before the evening rush comes in) Hey I have something to tell you. (continues working and doesn't answer her) HEY!!! (cuts him off when he comes back to go into the kitchen with some dishes)
Luke: I'm kind of busy here Lorelai. Hang on okay?? (squeezes past her)
Lorelai: (shakes her head to herself, and goes back around the counter) Fine. (sits down on the stool again, pouting)
Rory: What?? Can you tell me??
Lorelai: Not really. April doesn't even want me to tell Luke.
Rory: Than you're not supposed to are you??
Lorelai: I explained it to her that I had to tell him.
Luke: (comes out of the kitchen drying his hands off on a dish towel) Had to tell me what??
Lorelai: Not really the place Luke.
Luke: Why?? It's my diner.
Lorelai: But there are other people here and I don't think that this is something that April would like to share with the entire world quite yet.
Luke: (looking at her questionally) Ohkay. Upstairs??
Lorelai: Yeah that would be better.
Luke: Okay then. Ceaser, Lane, I'll be right back.
Ceaser and Lane in unisom: Okay.
(Lorelai and Luke disappear behind the curtain in front of the stairs leading upstairs)
Fade to Black
Luke: Oh My God!!!!! April... (In Awe Face. Sees Lorelai's serious face) I think I have to sit down.
Lorelai: Okay. (Luke sits on his bed) (worried tone in voice) Luke?? Are you okay?? You look pale.
Luke: She's too young. She's only 16.
Lorelai: Okay I get it.
Luke: Do you because I don't think so.
Lorelai: (starting to get upset at Luke) Excuse me??
Luke: No that's not what I meant.
Lorelai: Okay. So what did you mean exactly??
Luke: She's my daughter. How could she do something like this??
Lorelai: (Now she's really mad) I have to get outta here. (turns to leave)
Luke: (sees how upset she is and stands up to go after her) Lorelai... I
Lorelai: No I can't talk to you right now. (walks out and Luke stays in the aparment) (enters diner) (shocked face)
Rory: (sees Lorelai's face) Mom?? What's going on?? What happened??
Lorelai: (not hearing Rory) (to herself) I can't believe it. I just can't believe it. Why would he say something like that??
Lane: Lorelai, are you okay?? (Lorelai looks at Lane, pays her and walks out of the diner) Lorelai did you want your coffee to go?? (Lorelai keeps walking not listening) Lorelai?? Lorelai??
Rory: Mom?? (follows Lorelai) Lane, I'll see you later. (Luke comes into the diner, Rory sees him) What did you do?? (Not even listening to the response she turns and continues walking after Lorelai)
Lorelai: (to herself) I mean what would possess him to say anything like that?? It made me sound like my parents didn't pay any attention to me. Which technically they didn't I guess, but still... It also makes it seem like I was the only person having sex at 16. Like April is better than me or something.
Rory: Mom!!!! Stop!!!!!!! Wait for me.
Lorelai: (stops in her tracks and does an about face and is waiting for Rory, but she is still talking to herself) I don't get it. Why?? What did I do to deserve this?? Make me sound like a slut and all he does is stand there and watch me walk out... again. (stops talking to herself)
Rory: (heard the slut part and reacts) Luke did what?? Why would he call you a slut?? I thought he loved you.
Lorelai: (you can tell her mind is still mulling over what just happened) He didn't call me a slut. Just the way he said what he said made me sound like I was one.
Rory: (gets mad) Okay the man's a dead man.
Lorelai: No you're not going to attack him.
Rory: Can I at least yell at him until I can't even talk anymore??
Lorelai: Sure I guess but I want to be there. But you need the whole story first.
Rory: Okay.
Lorelai: Let's go sit down in the gazebo.
Rory: Alright.
(They walk over to the gazebo and sit down and Lorelai starts explaining it to her)
Lane: Luke!!!! What did you do??
Luke: (standing in the doorway into the diner) What??
Lane: What did you do?? Lorelai is pissed off. What happened??
Luke: I'm not going to tell you. It's none of your business.
Lane: Like hell it isn't.
Luke: You do realize that I am your boss right??
Lane: Right now I don't really care okay??
Luke: Whatever.
Lane: Now as I was saying. Like Hell it isn't. Lorelai was like the mom I never had. Okay?? She is important to me too. So what did you do?? What did you say to her?? And what happened??
Luke: (Shakes his head and walks away) I'm not going to tell you. Sorry Lane.
(cut back to Lorelai and Rory)
Rory: Wow.
Lorelai: I know.
Rory: WOW!!!!
Lorelai: I know that's what I said.
Rory: When?? And did they use...
Lorelai: She said about a week and a half ago. And she told me that she wasn't that dumb. So of course they did.
Rory: (gets up) WOW!!!!!!!! (starts to walk towards Luke's)
Lorelai: (gets up) I know!!!! (follows her) Where are you going??
Rory: Where do you think??
Lorelai: Oh my... (trails off) (follows Rory)
(cut to inside Luke's) (Lorelai walks in the diner)
Luke: (sees Lorelai) You're mad at me aren't you??
Lorelai: (sarcastically) Umm... yeah. Just a little bit.
Luke: I'm sorry it came out wrong.
Lorelai: I get it. I had to calm down a little bit and then I thought about it. But I'm fine now. It's not me you should worry about though. (bells above the door ring, both look and Lorelai sees it's Rory) That's who you should worry about.
Luke: What do you mean??
Lorelai: She kind of overreacted when I told her what you said. So she's kind of mad at you.
Rory: LUKE!!!!! GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE NOW!!!!! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!!!!
Luke: Okay. Thanks for the heads up. (kisses her quick and walks out) Hey Rory.
Rory: Can we go upstairs?? I need to talk to you.
Luke: Okay.
(they go upstairs) (we hear Rory yelling at Luke)
Fade to Black
(cut to Outside Gilmore Mansion, Lorelai, Rory, and Logan are standing at the door)
Lorelai: I can't believe you yelled at him like that.
Rory: Oh no?? Surprising I learned it from you.
Lorelai: Very true. (rings the doorbell)
Emily: (answers the door) Hello girls. (notices Logan standing behind them) Oh sorry. And Logan. (Lorelai and Rory giggle to each other) (Emily turns to let them in) (Logan walks in) Hello Logan.
Logan: Hello Emily. (Whispers to Emily) What's so funny??
Emily: I have no idea. It could be anything.
Logan: Yeah you're right.
Emily: So Lorelai, where's Luke tonight??
Lorelai: (stops laughing) Well...
Rory: Trying to recuperate from...
Lorelai: Which one?? The news about April or the lecture from you??
Rory: I honestly hope the lecture. Because that would be funnier.
Lorelai: Yeah (They both start giggling again)
Emily: I asked you a question Lorelai.
Lorelai: He's busy mom. He had to deal with something with April. And he couldn't come. But he told me to tell you and dad, that He's sorry he couldn't make it.
Emily: That's a better answer thank you. And you can tell him that we missed him. (turns to bring them into the living room)
Lorelai: (looks suspiciously at Rory) What did that mean??
Rory: I think it meant that they are actually validating you and Luke as a couple.
Lorelai: Creepy.
(they all go into the living room and sit down)
Richard: (is standing at the drink cart) What can I get everyone to drink??
Lorelai: Gin Martini please.
Rory: Soda's fine.
Logan: Stoli on the rocks if you have it.
Richard: Okay I think I can do that. And yes Logan I do have Stoli.
Logan: Oh here Richard let me help you. (gets up to help Richard get the drinks)
Richard: Oh that's not needed Logan.
Logan: (gets to Richard) No please I insist.
Richard: Oh well okay. I guess it couldn't hurt.
Logan: Okay then.
(Lorelai and Rory start giggling again, Logan laughs to himself at this, and Emily rolls her eyes to Richard)
(cut to Dinner table)
Emily: So Lorelai how is the Inn??
Lorelai: It's going great. Sookie just came up with this new dish it's called Sookie Surprise. Most people don't really want to try it at first, because it sounds a little disgusting but once you explain to them that it's just basically ravioli with a different sauce that tastes like Alfredo, then they're a little more open to it.
Rory: I guess it just doesn't sound as disgusting anymore. Right mom??
Lorelai: You could say that. As soon as they see it you have to reassure them that it's not as bad as it looks. She really needs to work on her presentation a little bit. Then it wouldn't look as nasty I promise. Mom I honestly think that you would like it. It's not that bad.
Emily: Well Lorelai, we may just have to come back to the Dragonfly and try it. Right Richard??
Richard: (Just took a bite, swallows) Yes Emily. Lorelai we'll have to stop by and have lunch sometime.
Emily: How about we all meet at the Inn sometime this week. And Lorelai can you make sure Luke comes, because we would like to see him again.? It's been awhile. Hasn't it Richard??
Richard: Yes it has I think that would be a good idea. It'd be great to get the whole family together.
Lorelai: (surprised look on her face for a split second) Well... okay I'll talk to him and we'll see okay??
Emily: Alright how about Tuesday??... (a cell phone rings) (Lorelai cringes) (Rory giggles)
Lorelai: Someone really has a case of the giggles tonight.
Emily: Who's is that??
Lorelai: Mine mom. Sorry I told Luke to call me when he got done talking with April. And Michel is at the Inn by himself and (looks at Rory) you know how he can get if he feels like he's overworked. (looks at her caller ID)
Emily: Well who is it??
Lorelai: It's Luke. I have to take this.
Emily: Okay just hurry back okay??
Lorelai: Okay mom. (gets up to walk into another room to answer her phone)
Emily: And don't forget to ask him about Tuesday.
Loreali: (Flips open phone) Yes mom!! (rest of conversation between Luke and Lorelai.) (to Luke) Hey. What's going on??
Luke: Crap!!!
Lorelai: What?? What happened??
Luke: Oh nothing. I just ran into your dog that's all.
Lorelai: Is he hurt?? Did you hurt him??
Luke: Oh thanks. You care more about Paul Anka than you do about your own husband. That's nice.
Lorelai: I was kidding. (teasingly) Did he scare you??
Luke: Ha Ha very funny. I'm fine.
Lorelai: Well that's good.
Emily (OS): Lorelai, are you about done?? Come back to the table please.
Luke: (hears this, and realizes that she's still at dinner) Why didn't you tell me that you were still at dinner?? Now they really are going to hate me.
Lorelai: Luke calm down. They don't hate you anymore. (lowers voice) Mom said earlier that her and dad missed you tonight. Huh?? How weird is that??
Luke: Very. Did she actually say that??
Lorelai: Yes she did. It creeped me out a little bit too.
Emily (OS): Lorelai!!!!
Lorelai: (to Emily) I'll ask him right now mom and than I'll be back in there in a few minutes.
Emily (OS): Oh Okay.
Luke: Ask me what??
Lorelai: Mom and Dad want to have lunch with me, you, Rory, and Logan at the Inn on Tuesday. Can you be there??
Luke: Umm... Yeah sure I'll just let Lane and Ceaser know tomorrow. Do they want April to be there too?? I mean they haven't met her yet and I think it would be a good idea for her to meet her new grandparents.
Lorelai: (whispers) Thank you. And you know what I don't know. I think that would be a good idea too. I think they meant all of us as in April too, because she is their family now too. So we'll bring her. But when I get off the phone with you than I'll make sure they know that she's coming so they'll be on their best behavior. How's that??
Luke: That's great. I'll see ya later??
Lorelai: Yeah see you later. Love you.
Luke: Love you too. Bye.
Lorelai: Bye. (hangs up) (walks back into the dining room)
Emily: So what'd he say??
Lorelai: (tightly closes her eyes, and gets pale) Ummm... he said...
Emily: (concerned) Lorelai??
Rory: (concerned) Mom??
(both say at the same time) (Lorelai runs out of the dining room and gets to the entryway reaches the trashcan in time, and throws up)
Rory: (behind Lorelai as she's throwing up in the trashcan) Mom?? (grabs Lorelai's hair to keep her from getting her hair in the vomit) Are you okay?? (after the vomiting has subsided)
Lorelai: I don't think I'm hungry anymore.
Rory: I'd say so.
(Emily and Richard come out of the dining room just as Lorelai's standing up and collecting herself)
Emily: Lorelai, are you okay?? (comes over and puts her hand on her forhead to see if she has a fever and Lorelai pulls away)
Lorelai: Mom.. (complaining) I'm fine. Please just leave me alone.
Emily: Maybe you shouldn't have had them Martinis.
Lorelai: My god mom I'm fine. Something just didn't agree... (trails off) (swallows hard) Oh god. (turns and starts throwing up in the trashcan again)
Emily: See I knew you weren't fine.
Rory: Mom??
Lorelai: (stands up and wipes her mouth, closes her eyes trying to collect herself again. Faces Emily, opens her eyes) I'm fine. I promise.
Rory: Maybe we should go.
Logan: I think that's a good idea Rory. Richard, Emily, thank you for the lovely dinner. We had a good time. But I think we're going to get Lorelai home okay??
Emily: Okay Logan. Will you call me and let me know when you get there??
Rory: Yes Grandma we will. (hugs Emily than Richard) See you next week. (starts walking Lorelai out to her jeep)
(Outside, Emily and Richard standing in the doorway)
Logan: Why don't I drive her in case it's the flu or something?? So you don't get sick.
Emily: That's a great idea Logan.
Rory: (looks at Lorelai. Than to Logan) No I'll drive her.
Logan: But...
Rory: (cuts him off) (gets Lorelai to the passenger side of her jeep, and sits her in the seat) I'll be fine. Trust me. (Whispers in his ear) This isn't the flu.
(Richard and Emily have gone inside)
Logan: (eyes wide) Are you serious??
Rory: I think so.
Lorelai: (upset) I'm not pregnant!!!
Rory: (looks at Lorelai) Mom??
Lorelai: What?? I'm not. I can't be.
Rory: (to Logan) We'll see you at the house right??
Logan: Yeah I'll see you there. Do you want me to pick you up some sprite or something for the nausea??
Lorelai: I've got sprite at the house.
Rory: No you don't I finished it this morning after you left.
Lorelai: What??
Rory: I didn't feel to good. Sorry.
Lorelai: It's fine. Yeah I would appreciate it Logan. Thank you.
Logan: No problem.
Rory: We'll see you there.
Logan: See you later. (leans in the driver's window and gives Rory a quick kiss)
(we see Lorelai's face, pale, and tired. She's thinking about what Rory had said moments earlier)
Fade to Black
Rory: (helping Lorelai sit down on the couch in the living room) There we go mom.
Lorelai: My god. I'm fine. Please quit babying me.
Luke: (comes down the stairs with a confused look on his face) What's going on??
Rory: Well mom...
Lorelai: (cuts Rory off) I'm fine.
Rory: Mom...
Lorelai: (cuts her off again) Stop it!! I don't even know for sure yet. So just stop it!!!!
Rory: You stop it!!! Your husband is wondering what's wrong and your daughter's going to tell him. So stop interupting me.
Lorelai: (wrinkles her nose to say "darn it") Fine!!
Luke: (getting upset) What happened?? I was just talking to you 30 mins ago and you were eating dinner. What's going on??
Lorelai: (sighs) Tell him. Everything.
Rory: (looks at Lorelai) Really?? I mean are you sure??
Lorelai: Will you just tell him before I change my mind??
Luke: Will someone tell me what's going on!!!!!!
Logan: (as he walks in the living room with a sprite can, and a cup of ice) Rory thinks Lorelai is pregnant.
Luke: What??
Rory: Mom got sick right after she came back into the dining room after she got off the phone with you. And the look on her face reminded me of when I had morning sickness with this one right here. (points at her stomach)
Luke: Wow. Amazing.
Lorelai: What??
Luke: I think this is the first time, that I have ever had to sit down twice in one day. (slowly lowers himself onto the couch)
Lorelai: (looks at Rory and Logan) Can you??
Rory: (gets it) (to Logan) Come on honey let's go into the kitchen to see what mom and Luke need (starts to drag him out of the room)
Logan: But I don't get it.
Rory: You don't have to get it. As long as I do. Right mom??
Lorelai: (nods at Rory) (looks at Luke) Are you okay??
Luke: Yeah. I'm fine. It's just.
Lorelai: You're freaked out.
Luke: No I'm not. It's just...
Lorelai: You're freaked out just say it. I mean I'm not to calm about this either. And I don't even know for sure if I am or not yet...
Luke: (silences her with a soft kiss) Relax. We'll be fine. I'm okay with this as long as you don't freak out like you just did ever again.
Lorelai: (smiles at Luke) Really??
Luke: Really. Okay?? Now let's go see if we're right or not.
Lorelai: I agree. (starts to get up but has to sit down again, and closes her eyes tightly)
Luke: Are you okay?? You going to throw up again??
Lorelai: No. I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy that's all.
Luke: Yeah. Why??
Lorelai: Why?? I just threw up what I had a chance to eat at Mom and Dad's.
Luke: Oh right.
(cut to Tuesday morning)
(Lorelai walks into the diner all smiles and laughing with Rory who is also giggling. They walk up to the counter and take a seat)
Luke: (walks out from the storage room) Hey!! (leans over the counter for a quick kiss from Lorelai)
Red cap: Hey can I get some service over here??
Luke: (pulls away from Lorelai) I hate this guy.
Lorelai: Oh no he's back!!!! Da Da Da Da
Rory: (cuts her off) Nice mom.
Luke: (chuckles) Be right back.
Rory: So when are you going to tell him??
Lorelai: When he's not so stressed out over the imbomidable Red cap guy.
Rory: What do you mean??
Lorelai: This guy is like Freddy vs. Jason without the other guy to fight with.
Rory: No!! You're kidding.
Luke: (walks back up to the girls) Yeah you think she's trying to be funny but it's the truth. This guy doesn't leave and Lane won't serve him anymore. He scared her away.
Rory: Oh now you're kidding.
Lane: (walks up to the counter) No he's not. I refuse to serve him anymore. The guy's freaky.
Rory: Wow!! Hey let me try.
Luke: No.
Rory: Why??
Luke: Because he'll make you cry and than Lorelai will get mad at me.
Lorelai: I will not. I'll ninja kick him.
Luke: Nice.
Lorelai: What?? I mean it. If he makes my daughter cry I'll ninja kick him.
Luke: Well then Rory be my... (gets cut off)
Red cap: Hey I'm ready to order over here.
Luke: Someone will be with you in a minute.
Red cap: You're just standing there talking why don't you service me.
Luke: (to Lorelai) I'm not going to answer him. (to Rory) Be my guest
Rory: Okay. Give me an order pad please.
Luke: Here you go. (hands her a notebook)
Rory: Thank you. (gets up and walks over to red cap customer) How can I help you today??
(Lorelai, Lane and Luke are all watching Rory)
Red cap: It's about time I get some service.
Rory: Well I'm sorry if we're inconviencing you but as you can see we're pretty busy here today. But I'm here now how can I help you??
Red cap: I would like a cup of coffee a cherry danish and make sure you bring me some cream and sugar for the coffee the last person I got to serve me forgot it and wouldn't bring it.
Rory: (looks at Luke who points at himself, then back a Red cap) Okay I'll try not to forget them. I'll be right back with your coffee. Excuse me. (walks back behind the counter, laughing to herself)
Luke: She's good.
Lorelai: She's always had a vast amount of patience.
Rory: Oh my god. That guy is a jerk.
(door bells ring)
Luke: (nods) Uh huh. I gotta take care of this customer. Be right back keep me posted.
Red cap: I heard that. Service here is very rude.
Lorelai: (Laughs at Rory) (quietly) Busted
Rory: Shut up!!
Red cap: Nice way to talk to your customers.
Rory: She's not a customer. She hasn't been one for years. (walks towards Red cap with his order) Besides even if she was I would still talk to her like that.
Red cap: Why and risk not getting a tip?? Which is exactly what you'll get from me.
Rory: She's my mom. I can talk to her like that all I want.
Red cap: What happened to respect your parents?? Huh?? I'd like to know where it went. (keeps babbling about how disrespectful she is and he hopes she has a kid just like her and everything to that affect)
Rory: (starts to cry a little bit. Tries to fight it back but the urge to cry wins and she starts crying) Okay okay I get it. Respect your parents. Please let up a little bit.
Red cap: (yelling now) No. I will not let up. You disrespect your parents and your disrespecting me!!!
(Rory's crying harder now. Lorelai sees this and starts to get up but Luke sees what's happening also and motions her to stay sitting, that he'll take care of it and he starts walking to the man.)
Luke: (reaches Rory just as she turns to walk away from him and Red cap grabs Rory and turns her back to him so he knows she's listening to him) Hey!!! Drop her arm and let her go!!!
Red cap: What are you going to do if I don't??
Luke: (grabs Red cap's other arm) I'll twist this arm so hard that it breaks and it'll never heal right again!!!!
Red cap: (doesn't loosen his grip on Rory) I want to see that.
Luke: Oh you do, do you?? (motions Lorelai to come over to make sure Rory relaxes)
Lorelai: (gets it) Okay. (walks over to Rory) Honey relax. It's okay.
Rory: I can't relax.
Lorelai: Why??
Rory: My water just broke.
Lorelai: Oh Crap.
Luke: What?? What-what happened??
Lorelai: Her water just broke, Luke. Do you know what that means??
Luke: Shit.
Rory: Yeah pretty much. OH GOD!!!!! (grabs Lorelai's hand) (bears down in a contraction)
Lorelai: I'm here baby.
Luke: (still holding onto Red cap) Let go of her. NOW!!!!
Red cap: Okay alright fine. (releases Rory)
Lorelai: Hang on honey.
Rory: (contraction stops) You now have my sympathies mom.
Lorelai: Oh yeah??
Rory: I know what you went through for me.
Lorelai: Oh honey I don't want to scare you but umm... the contractions are nothing. Wait until the doctor tells you to push for the first time.
Rory: Oh thanks mom. That really relaxed me.
Lorelai: Sorry. Just being reasonable.
Luke: (still holding onto Red cap, drags him to the diner door) Get out of my diner and if I ever see you in this town again I'll chase you so far away you won't be able to find your way back to the U.S. ever again. (turns to Lorelai and Rory, and Rory has started another contraction) Okay everyone out, we're closed sorry. Gotta go. Out out out.
Rory: (contraction subsiding) Thank you Luke.
Luke: No problem. (as the last person leaves) Let's get you to the hospital.
Lorelai: Good Idea.
(cut to Hospital room)
Nurse: (comes in holding a baby wrapped in a pink blanket) Here's mommy and daddy. (handing the baby to Rory with Logan sitting next to her)
Rory: (to nurse) Thank you. (takes baby) Hi honey.
Lorelai: So???? Name. Name.
Rory: Lorelai IV.
Lorelai: You hear that Gran?? Your great-grandaughter is naming her little girl after you too.
Luke: (smiling) That's great Rory. But how are we going to keep her seperate from her grandma over here?? (pointing at Lorelai)
Rory: Good point Luke. But Logan and I have talked about that.
Lorelai: Wait you knew what you were having and you didn't tell mommy??
Rory: No we wanted you to be surprised. Anyway we decided that her nickname will be Lorie. It's still close enough to her real name that it'll make sense but far enough away that we can tell the difference.
Luke: I like it.
Rory: Would you like to hold her Luke??
Luke: Oh Rory I don't know. I feel honored at the offer but I don't know if it's a good idea.
Rory: Why not?? She's your granddaughter too.
Luke: Yeah I know that. But I've never held a baby before and I don't want to hurt her.
Rory: Oh you won't hurt her. Logan will show you how to hold her.
Lorelai: Right because I have to go do something. I'll be right back okay??
Luke: Okay. (Lorelai leans in for a kiss and walks out) (Logan hands Lorie to Luke) I think I got it. Thanks Logan.
Logan: No problem Luke. (Luke is cautious)
Rory: Oh will you relax and just hold her like Logan showed you??
Luke: Oh Okay sorry I was just getting used to it.
(Lorelai walks back in, holding a bag from the gift shop)
Lorelai: Aww look at this. That's adorable.
Luke: Shhhhh... (Lorie has fallen asleep on his shoulder) She's asleep.
Lorelai: (looks at Rory, and Rory looks around proud) Now you can sympathize for me Rory.
Rory: Very true and I do. But it's worth it in the end.
Lorelai: Yeah it is. (walks over to Rory and kisses her on the forehead) I'm so proud of you. (pulls out a camera and snaps a picture of Luke and Lorie)
Luke: I hate you.
Lorelai: I know. And I love you too. Hey Rory look at this and shows her what's in the bag.
Rory: Oh my god mom that's great.
Luke: (confused because he can't see what's in the bag) What??
Rory: Show him.
Lorelai: I planned on it. I got it for him. (walks over to Luke and gives him the bag, while he takes the bag she takes Lorie and hands her back to Rory)
Luke: Oh my god. You're...
Lorelai: (smiles and giggles at Luke) Yup.
Luke: (chuckles) Come here. (Lorelai comes over to Luke and sits on his lap, and leans in for a kiss)
Logan: Okay. I'm confused. (Luke takes out what's in the bag and show Logan. It's a T-shirt that says "Daddy in November". Lorelai reaches into the bag one more time to pull out 3 more t-shirts one she hands to Logan and one to Rory, but the last one she keeps and slips on over her other shirt. Logan's says "I became a daddy on March 14, 2008". Rory looks at hers and it's the same as Logan's but it says "I became a mommy on March 14, 2008". Camera cuts from everybody else to Lorelai who has slipped her t-shirt on that says "Baby on board".
