Chilton classroom Rory and Paris are sitting next to each other and teacher is talking
Mrs Drayton: Oh and I expect all of your assignments to be on my desk by Monday morning and no excuses!
Bell rings Class dismissed
Paris: Rory, word
Rory gets puts her books in her bag and walks out the classroom. Paris comes up to her as they leave the room.
Rory: What's up?
Paris: (exciteably) You know that guy at camp?
Rory: If you didn't notice, there were like 1000 guys there.
Paris: I mean the really cute guy in our group.
Rory: Hmmmmm..I'm not sure whether I agree with your definition of cute.
Paris: I think all girls would consider him cute.
Rory: Why don't you just tell me his name?
Paris: Well.(sheepily) I dunno what his name is.
Rory: How can you not know his name?
Paris: (pissed) I just don't, okay.
Rory: Okay then, what does he look like?
Paris: He's around 6 feet in height, browny, gold short hair, cut in a 2nd step style, hazel eyes, with flicks of gold in them,-
Rory: You know way too much about him.
Paris: Well it's not like I had anything better to do.
Paris: Hmmmm, I think I know the guy your after.
Paris: Really?
Rory: You mean Elmo.
Paris: Elmo?
Rory: Yeah, he told me to call him that.
Paris: Funny.he didn't tell me that.
Rory: Probably forgot.
Paris: Anyway, I managed to track down his phone number.
Rory gets to her locker and opens it and puts books in it.
And I was wondering with you and him hitting it off and all.
Rory turns around
Rory: How were we hitting it off?
Paris: Well you spoke to him.
Rory: Talking to a guy doesn't classify as 'hitting it off'.
Paris: It's more than I did. (sighs) All I'm trying to say is that you seem to get along with him than me so I.
Rory: Oh oh. I see where this is heading.
Paris: (desperate) Please!
Rory: No! If you want to get with him, you call him.
Paris: But it's only to start us off.
Rory: Remember Tristan?
Paris: Yeah well I'm desperate, and I'm trusting you this time, surprisingly.
Rory: Hey! If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have even met him!
Paris: (pissed) Well now I see what you are thinking. You think that without you, I wouldn't have been elected! So I should be praising you, huh!
Paris storms off
Rory: Paris! (Despair) Euh!
Rory leans her head against her locker depressingly
The annoying song
The Town Lorelai and Rory are walking through the park
Rory: Did you ever realise how weird the expression 'Hit it off' is?
Lorelai: Yeah, it sounds like they hit someone with a baseball bat and rebounded off them.
Rory: Think of all the casualties!
Lorelai: When the doctor asked them what was wrong, they would say they had a bad case of hitting it off.
Rory: It'll be a raging epidemic.
Lorelai opens the door to Luke's diner
Lorelai: They should ban baseball bats.
They walk into the diner
Rory: Hey Luke!
Luke: Hi Rory.
Rory nudges Lorelai forward with her elbow. She turns away and sees Lane outside.
Rory: Oh! There's Lane, I'll cya later Luke.
Lorelai: Wait on missy, you haven't had breakfast yet.
Rory: Luke, pass us a muffin.
Luke puts a blueberry muffin in a bag and gives it to Rory and walks out, leaving Lorelai standing looking at Luke.
Lorelai: Can I sit at the bar?
Luke: Sit wherever you wanna. It's a free diner.
Lorelai sits down and looks uncomfortably to the side
Lorelai: Oh! New tablecloths I see. Who could go wrong with the traditional red and white checked ones. Snazzy.
Luke: (noncomital) Yeah.
Lorelai: Where'd you get them?
Luke: They were my mom's.
Lorelai: Oh.nice, nice.
Luke: What do you want?
Lorelai: Ahh, I'll go for some scrambled eggs on toast.
Luke: You don't like scrambled eggs on toast you say it looks like off butter squished into worm shapes.
Lorelai: Ha! I knew your brain wasn't taken over by little Mr. Freezers
Luke puts his elbows on the counter and leans down
Luke: Look, I've told you before, I am not angry with you.
Lorelai: Good, that means that you can come over and clean out my gutters.
Luke: I though that Jess did that not that long ago.
Lorelai: (woeful look on her face) But it's been really windy lately and there's a really big, leafy tree that has thousands of huge leaves just saying 'Oh, there's Lorelai's house, it's just waiting for leaves to litter its' drains'
Luke: Trees don't talk lorelai.
Lorelai: Pleassseeee.
Luke: Okay, okay. I'll get Jess to help me, we'll be roundabout 10 tomorrow.
Lorelai: Thanks. Oh, how's the bad boy going?
Luke: Bad boy?
Lorelai: Jess.
Luke: Fine.
Lorelai: So is he helping out at the diner?
Luke: A bit.
Lorelai: Only a bit, because he's really busy with school work and helping kind little old ladies cross the street or only a bit when you force him to?
Luke: He's helping me out a bit, okay.
Lorelai: Okay, okay. Well I better go retrieve my child, I'll see ya tomorrow.
Luke: Bye.
Lorelai walks out of the diner Cuts to Rory and Lane
Lane: Sooo, it turns out to be that the band wasn't even founded until 1993, despite the media's efforts to say it had an excuse of it being around in the 80's.
Rory: Freaky!
Lane: My mom's calling me, I'll talk to ya later!
Rory: Bye.
Lorelai walks up to Rory
Rory: So, how did it go?
Lorelai: Not too bad, only a few battle wounds.
Rory: I can't see any.
Lorelai: Haven't I taught you anything?
Rory: Oh wait, your face does look a bit pasty. Oh no, that's just you complexion, my mistake!
Lorelai: Cheeky, cheeky girl. Do you think we're related?
Rory: Of course not! There's my bus, I'll see ya later.
Lorelai: Yeah, you wish.
Lorelai walks on, stops in front of a shop window and checks her face and dabs on some concealer, makes a face and walks on
Inn Lorelai is standing next to Michel at the main reception desk. The phone rings and Michel answers it.
Michel: Lorelai, there's a lovely lady on the phone for you. She claims to be your mother but she sounds too polite to be related to you.
Lorelai: That's hospital for you today, always swapping the baby caskets around, it's just so unreliable.
Lorelai takes the phone
Lorelai: Hi, mom?
Emily: Hello Lorelai. Who was that man with that lovely accent?
Lorelai: No one in particular.
Emily: Anyway, I just called to see whether you wanted for your birthday. I mean I'm sure we could accommodate some of your friends for a birthday party.
Lorelai: I'm not really into the whole birthday bash thing.
Emily: Don't be ridiculous, it'll only be say, 100 people.
Lorelai: Mom, please don't think that you have to make it up to me or something.
Emily: Lorelai- can't a mother throw her only daughter a birthday party? I mean is that just too much for you?
Lorelai: No! I just have this awful picture in my head where I'm dressed up in a bright pink, pocka dot dress with huge, ruffle sleeves, serving some sort of ridiculous tiny patee that looks terrible and tastes terrible with a fake smile on my face saying; 'so pleased you could fit me into your busy schedule.'
Emily: You find yourself quite amusing, don't you.
Lorelai: Oh, yeah. But remember it does come from inheritance of genes.
Emily: I can now see you don't take me seriously.
Lorelai: Look mom, I just don't want to have a formal party. It's no big deal.
Emily: Isn't there something I could do or get for you?
Lorelai: Last time I checked, no.
Sookie walks in
Lorelai: (to Emily) Wait a moment.
Lorelai: (to Sookie) Hey, babe. If you you could have anything you wanted, what would it be?
Sookie: Ohh, I know. A megaplex 2000 food processor!
Lorelai: Thanks. (to Emily) Now that I think about it there is something I could use.
Emily: Well., what is it?
Lorelai: A megaplex 2000 food processor.
Emily: You don't cook.
Lorelai: But I'm trying to learn how to.
Emily: (pleased) Well in that case, I'll be happy to get that for you.
Lorelai: Thanks mom. I gotta go, bye.
Chilton Rory holding a phone, looking pouty. Paris is standing by her, looking eager and excited.
Rory: You so have to make it up to me after this, and I mean maj- oh hi Elmo! This is Rory from camp.
Emlo: Oh hi Rory, how are you doing? Pinning my loss?
Rory: Yessss, horribly but apart from that I'm okay. You?
Elmo: Good, well now that you have called me.
Rory: (uncomfortably) Yeah well anyway, umm. do you remember another girl in our group, from by school; Paris?
Elmo: No. describe her.
Rory: Umm tall.
Paris looking at her impatiently, making a more signal with her hand
.long blond hair, brown eyes.
Elmo: Still no, what's she like?
Rory: Whattya mean?
Elmo: Personality.
Rory: I was hoping you wouldn't say that.
Elmo: Why?
Rory: Well.well. I'll give it a go. (looking at Paris) ummm.forceful, opinionated.
Paris gives her a sour look
Elmo: Now I see why you didn't want to say, you mean the bossy one.
Rory: Yeah, I guess you could put it that way.
Elmo: So, what about her?
Rory: Oh! Nothing much.
Elmo: Don't make me so curious!
Rory: This is hard to explain.
Elmo: Fine. Well since you can't answer it yet, maybe you could think about how to explain it and meet me Friday night and then tell me the answer.
Rory: (confused) I'm really sorry Elmo, but I can't.
Elmo: Why not?
Rory: Lots of reasons- I have a boyfriend and Je-, and my traditional grandparent's dinner and (upset) most importantly, I'm supposed to be setting you up with Paris, but guess what! I stuffed up.again.
Rory drops the phone and runs away. Paris calls angrily after her
Elmo: Rory? Rory? Hello.?
Gilmore Girls' residence Lorelai is rushing around the lounge room and kitchen cleaning up. Rory comes down the stairs, yawning and looking sleepy.
Rory: What are you doing?
Lorelai: Well, being one of those days, my alarm didn't wake me up.
Rory: A beeping noise doesn't disturb you. I thought you would have realised that my now.
Lorelai: Yeah, you know why, I've adjusted to the annoying beeping noise because of you, you always do it in the day and so I ignore it now, including my alarm.
Rory: I don't make an annoying beepy noise!
Lorelai: Mmmm, it's more of a squeaky noise.
Rory: Well you still should have done something about it by now.
Lorelai: (groan) What should I do then, smarty-pants?
Rory: Oh! I know, get an alarm clock that hits you on the head with a baseball bat.
Lorelai: Okay now I really think that baseball bats should be banned.
Rory: Why did you want to wake up early anyway?
Lorelai: Didn't I tell you?
Rory: No, being the responsible mom that you are.
Lorelai: I swear they sway the caskets around at the hospital.
Rory: Stop the suspense, it's killing me!
Lorelai: Oh! It's nothing.
Rory gives her a look and Lorelai sighs.
Luke and Jess are coming around well.
Looks at her watch
Well about now actually to clean out our gutters.
Rory: Jess!
Lorelai: Uh, yes.
Rory: Mommm!
The doorbell rings
Lorelai: Oh, here they are, can you answer the door for me?
Rory: (pissed) you are so going to pay for this.
Lorelai: And how would you like that in, pizzas or videos?
Rory opens the door. Luke is holding a tool box and Jess is behind him, hands in pockets.
Luke: Hey Rory, do you have some ladders and rakes somewhere?
Rory: (yelling) Mom, do we have any ladders and rakes?
Lorelai walks over and Luke smiles her fakely
Luke: At your service, ma'm.
Lorelai: (playing along with a posh voice) Well chop- chop.I haven't got all day you know!
Lorelai leads Luke away, leaving Jess and Rory standing there uncomfortably in silence
Jess: So.
Rory: So.
Silence
Rory: (upset) Look, I'm really sorry for what I said the other day.
Jess looks at her
.and I'm really happy that you and Shane are working out.
Jess nods his head
Jess: Okay.
Rory: Just okay?
Jess: (shrugs his shoulders) Yeah.
Rory: Okay.
Rory looks uncomfortably away.
Jess: I guess I should go help Luke.
Rory: Yeah, I guess.
Jess turns and walks down the steps
Hey! You haven't said sorry to me yet.
Jess: Sorry.
Rory: That's better
Rory turns and goes into the house then spins around back again
Wait!
Jess: (impatiently) What now?
Rory: Do you mean sorry, I didn't say sorry or sorry for what you said before or sorry, you can't say sorry cause you think you weren't in the wrong?
Jess: Sorry, the first two.
Rory: Ummm.
Jess: Sorry for what I said and sorry for not saying sorry.
Rory: Oh, good.
Jess: Actually, some of what I said was true.
Rory: I know. You just shouldn't have said it.
Jess: Begging your humble apologies.
Rory: I accept them.
Jess: Am I free to go yet?
Rory: Oh, sorry. You are dismissed.
Jess bows at her and goes. Rory smiles after him and walks back into the house. Lorelai walks in.
Lorelai: Men!
Rory: What's wrong?
Lorelai: Excepting dean, of course, they can't see what's straight in front of them. Luke couldn't see the rakes that were straight, bang, flat in front of him!
Rory: I hope you realise that you made completely no sense.
Lorelai: It's called a female failure. Speaking of men, have you seen Dean lately?
Rory: Not particularly.
Lorelai: Honey, I know you don't like me to interfere but don't you thin you should be spending more time with him?
Rory: Relax, we arranged to meet this afternoon.
Lorelai: (shaking my head) Teaches me for interfering.
Rory: You read my mind.
They hear a huge thud
Lorelai: What was that?
Rory: I don't wanna know.
Lorelai and Rory go outside. They look up at the roof. Luke is standing on the ladder, holding his head in pain and Jess is on the roof.
Lorelai: What happened?
Luke: (angry) My feather- brained nephew of mind here dropped a rake on my head.
Jess: Hey, I passed it to you. If you can't grip, why didn't you tell me?
Luke: You call that a pass? You threw it at me!
Lorelai: Woah, woah, calm down Luke. Come down and we'll have a coffee.
Luke, still holding his head, climbs down the ladder and Lorelai walks him in.
Lorelai: Oh my god, you have like a huge bump on your head!
Luke: Seriously?
Lorelai: No.
Luke and Lorelai go in side and Jess comes down the ladder, Rory waiting for him.
Rory: You thirsty or hungry?
Jess: Since when do I not accept food?
Rory raises her eyebrows at him.
Maybe I better rephrase that; 'since when do I accept food?'
Rory: That's better.
Jess and Rory start walking inside, smiling. Dean comes.
Dean: Rory! What are you doing with him?
Jess and Rory turn around
Jess: (mumbling) Well, if it isn't the giant.
Rory: Dean, I thought we said one o'clock.
Dean; Yeah well I wanted to surprise you. Now it seems like I was the one who got the surprise.
Rory: Jess was just helping cleaning out the gutters.
Dean looks disgruntled
Look, I just have to do a few things, I'll meet you outside Luke's diner in ten minutes.
Dean: You promise?
Rory: I promise.
Dean kisses her on the cheek, glances at Jess and walks off.
Jess: talk about over protective.
Rory and jess sit down on the steps.
Rory: Hey, thanks for not making things worse by pissing Dean off.
Jess: Well remember what we said; you keep with Dean, I'll keep with Shane.
Rory: Yeah.
Rory and Jess sit there, looking at each other.

Rory: I know. You just shouldn't have said it.
Jess: Begging your humble apologies.
Rory: I accept them.
Jess: Am I free to go yet?
Rory: Oh, sorry. You are dismissed.
Jess bows at her and goes. Rory smiles after him and walks back into the house. Lorelai walks in.
Lorelai: Men!
Rory: What's wrong?
Lorelai: Excepting dean, of course, they can't see what's straight in front of them. Luke couldn't see the rakes that were straight, bang, flat in front of him!
Rory: I hope you realise that you made completely no sense.
Lorelai: It's called a female failure. Speaking of men, have you seen Dean lately?
Rory: Not particularly.
Lorelai: Honey, I know you don't like me to interfere but don't you thin you should be spending more time with him?
Rory: Relax, we arranged to meet this afternoon.
Lorelai: (shaking my head) Teaches me for interfering.
Rory: You read my mind.
They hear a huge thud
Lorelai: What was that?
Rory: I don't wanna know.
Lorelai and Rory go outside. They look up at the roof. Luke is standing on the ladder, holding his head in pain and Jess is on the roof.
Lorelai: What happened?
Luke: (angry) My feather- brained nephew of mind here dropped a rake on my head.
Jess: Hey, I passed it to you. If you can't grip, why didn't you tell me?
Luke: You call that a pass? You threw it at me!
Lorelai: Woah, woah, calm down Luke. Come down and we'll have a coffee.
Luke, still holding his head, climbs down the ladder and Lorelai walks him in.
Lorelai: Oh my god, you have like a huge bump on your head!
Luke: Seriously?
Lorelai: No.
Luke and Lorelai go in side and Jess comes down the ladder, Rory waiting for him.
Rory: You thirsty or hungry?
Jess: Since when do I not accept food?
Rory raises her eyebrows at him.
Maybe I better rephrase that; 'since when do I accept food?'
Rory: That's better.
Jess and Rory start walking inside, smiling. Dean comes.
Dean: Rory! What are you doing with him?
Jess and Rory turn around
Jess: (mumbling) Well, if it isn't the giant.
Rory: Dean, I thought we said one o'clock.
Dean; Yeah well I wanted to surprise you. Now it seems like I was the one who got the surprise.
Rory: Jess was just helping cleaning out the gutters.
Dean looks disgruntled
Look, I just have to do a few things, I'll meet you outside Luke's diner in ten minutes.
Dean: You promise?
Rory: I promise.
Dean kisses her on the cheek, glances at Jess and walks off.
Jess: talk about over protective.
Rory and jess sit down on the steps.
Rory: Hey, thanks for not making things worse by pissing Dean off.
Jess: Well remember what we said; you keep with Dean, I'll keep with Shane.
Rory: Yeah.
Rory and Jess sit there, looking at each other.
End of part 2!
