L: "Let me get this straight, you're going on date with Jess, to make Dean,
who's you boyfriend in case you forgot, jealous?"
R: "It's not a real date, we're just going out"
L: "That's the same!"
R: "No, it's not. We're gonna eat pizza, nothing romantic 'bout that"
L: "Well, with some candle light......."
R: "There won't be candle light!"
L: "And after the pizza?"
R: "After the pizza we're going to the movies"
L: "That's romantic"
R: "No, it's not"
L: "Come on, you guys sitting in the dark, holding hands......."
R: "We're not gonna hold hands!"
L: "That's what you say now"
R: "We are so not having this conversation"
Lorelai looked at her daughter who was standing in front of the mirror.
L: "What's up with the nice clothes, the make-up and the hair-thing? I thought you were 'just' going out"
R: "I am"
L: "You didn't even use this much make-up on your first date with Dean"
R: "I just want to look nice"
L: "And you never borrowed my black top before, which by the way looks great on you"
R: "Well, thank you and I never borrowed your black top before, because you bought it last week"
L: "Still"
R: "What time is it?"
L: "Almost seven"
R: "What's almost? Almost as in 2 minutes or almost as in 15 minutes?"
L: "Almost as in 24, no.....22 seconds"
R: "Damnit"
The door bell rang.
L: "Well, at least he's in time. In fact he's 10 seconds early. If I didn't know better I would think he's a gentlemen"
R: "I'm not ready yet"
L: "You're ready. You're wearing nice clothes, you brushed your hair. You can't be more ready"
R: "Mom! Let him in and make him wait for a few minutes"
L: "Rory.....I can't...."
R: "......please?"
L: "Alright"
She walked to the door. She took a deep breath. Then she opened it.
L: "Hey Jess!" it sounded way too cheery.
Jess seemed a little surprised.
J: "........hello ms Gilmore"
L: "You can call me Lorelai"
J: "Alright........Lorelai"
They stared at each other for a second.
L: "........do you wanna come in? Rory will be ready in a sec"
J: "Sure"
Jess came in and Lorelai closed the door behind him. They stood in the hall.
L: "Can I get you something?"
J: "No, thank you"
There fell a silence.
J: "So, is she almost ready?"
L: "I think so. I'll go check on her"
She walked to Rory's room.
L: "Are you ready?"
R: "Almost"
L: "You have to be ready now. I can't be in a room with him alone. I don't know how to act around him, I don't know what to say or do. I just don't know how to communicate with him. I'm sorry, but you have to be ready"
R: "You guys didn't fight, right?"
L: "I barely spoke to him"
R: "Still"
L: "Are you ready or not? If you're not, I have to go back and I don't know how much longer I can keep the fake smile on my face"
R: "Alright, I'm ready"
L: "Thank God"
R: "You're overreacting"
L: "I'm so not overreacting"
Rory got up. They walked back to the hall.
R: "Hey" she said to Jess.
J: "Hey"
He looked at her.
J: "You look nice"
R: "Thanks"
L: "Did she just spend 2 hours in her room putting on make-up, brushing her hair, trying on clothes, eventually deciding to take a look in my closet to steal my black top and trying to convince me this is not a date, just to hear you say: 'you look nice' ?"
R: "Mom!"
J: "Did it work?"
L: "Did what work?"
J: "Did she convince you this is not a date?"
L: "Not really"
R: "Jess, let's go"
She quickly pulled Jess outside and closed the door behind them. This was gonna be an interesting night.
R: "It's not a real date, we're just going out"
L: "That's the same!"
R: "No, it's not. We're gonna eat pizza, nothing romantic 'bout that"
L: "Well, with some candle light......."
