Summary: Rory and Jess find that they are supposed to be together. Jess gets a visit from someone in New York, which leads to a very complicated week.
[FADE to the alley.]
LORELAI: What the heck is going on Rory?
RORY: I just explained that. I broke up with Dean because I love Jess.
LORELAI: I thought we talked about this. You can be friends with Jess but you have to be careful.
RORY: And I am. I am friends with Jess and I'm being careful.
LORELAI: You normally don't tell your friends you love them. That's more of a boyfriend thing to do.
RORY: We might be boyfriend/ girlfriend but I'm not sure.
LORELAI: Do you want to be his girlfriend?
RORY: Yes. More than anything. I love him.
LORELAI: It seems like I'm getting no where. I don't want you to get in trouble.
RORY: I won't Mom! Jess loves me and he wouldn't ever do anything to hurt me!
LORELAI: Okay, then can you compromise with me?
RORY: I'll try. what are the grounds?
LORELAI: You have to have him over to the house so that I can get to know him and trust him more before you can go out on the town with him. Okay?
RORY: Yeah, sure. I can do that.
LORELAI: Oh, and uh, I wouldn't really go too public with your relationship right away because Dean will get really mad.
RORY: I don't care what he thinks. I hate him! But we will keep a low profile for a while.
LORELAI: So, we're good?
RORY: Yeah, we're good.
LORELAI: Okay, lets go back inside. I need coffee.
RORY: Yeah, I wanna see how Jess is.
(They walk back in the diner through the back door.)
[FADE to inside the diner.]
(RORY walks over to JESS and sits down and LORELAI goes up to LUKE at the counter.)
RORY: Jess, are you sure you're okay?
JESS: Yeah, I'm fine.
RORY: You are gonna be black and blue tomorrow. Keep the ice on it.
JESS: So what happened with your mom?
RORY: We compromised. I'm allowed to go out with you and stuff but you have to come over to the house so my mom can get used to you and trust you before we can go out anywhere and we have to keep a low profile for a while.
JESS: Yeah, that will work. Thanks.
RORY: Do you want me to ask Luke to give you the day off? You can come over and rest and I'll read to you or something.
JESS: Yeah, that sounds good. (Smiles at her but then grimaces from the pain and chuckles.)
(RORY goes over to talk to LUKE and LORELAI while JESS watches her.)
[FADE to the Gilmore House]
RORY: Hold on, let me go get some ice for your eye before we start reading.
JESS: No, really I'm fine. It's gonna be fine. Just go get a book.
RORY: Which one?
JESS: Whichever you want. Bring Tuck Everlasting. That's good.
(RORY hurries to her room and comes back with a tattered book.)
RORY: Okay, make yourself comfy.
JESS: Sure. (They sit on the couch. JESS puts his arm around RORY as she starts to read.)
RORY: "The road that led to Treegap had been trod out long before by a herd of cows who were, to say the least, relaxed. It wandered along in curves and easy angles, swayed off and up in a pleasant tangent to the top of a small hill, ambled down again between fringes of bee-hung clover, and then cut sidewise across a meadow..
[FADE to later on that night in the Gilmore House]
(RORY and JESS fell asleep on the couch and JESS still has his arm around her. LORELAI walks in and sees them like that. RORY looks so comfortable and safe with him so LORELAI doesn't break them apart. She goes upstairs and to bed.)
[FADE to the next morning in the Gilmore House]
(RORY wakes up and sees JESS asleep next to her. His arm is still around her. She panics and sits up fast, waking JESS up in the process.)
JESS: Whoa, what's going on?
RORY: We fell asleep!
JESS: Oh, this is not good.
RORY: No, its not. My mom is home. She is gonna kill me!
LORELAI: (From where she stands on the stairs) No I'm not.
RORY: Mom!
JESS: Um, I'm really confused now.
LORELAI: Don't be. It's ok. Luke called late last night wondering where you were so I walked in and I saw you guys sleeping and I told him I would bring Jess back in the morning when we got coffee.
RORY: You feeling okay?
LORELAI: Yeah, I'm fine. Do you guys want coffee? I'm about to die from lack of it.
RORY and JESS: Yeah, thanks.
(They all head out the door and begin walking to Luke's. LORELAI and RORY get seats at the counter and JESS goes behind it to pour all three of them coffee.)
LUKE: Good morning all!
JESS: Morning Uncle Luke.
LUKE: How'd ya sleep?
JESS: (quickly looks at RORY and smiles.) Very well thanks.
(RORY smiles.)
LUKE: Your eyes look better than I thought they would be. I'm surprised they aren't swollen shut.
JESS: Thanks! (Sarcastically.)
LUKE: I could use you in here today if that's okay.
JESS: Yeah, that's fine.
RORY: Can I help? (To LUKE.)
LUKE: Sure.
RORY: Cool! Do I get to go behind the counter?
LUKE: Yeah. Be sure to keep Jess in line okay?
RORY: Not a problem.
(They spent the afternoon helping customers and serving food. RORY was able to help herself to more coffee anytime she wanted, which she thought was great. A lot of customer's attention focused on JESS and his eyes but he always tried to steer clear of it. When the night was over RORY and JESS sat down at a table and talked for a few minutes about movies.)
RORY: How can you say that you didn't like Sleepless in Seattle?
JESS: It's a chick flick.
RORY: Exactly!
JESS: (Mocking her) Exactly!
RORY: Well then, how about When Harry Met Sally?
JESS: Another chick flick.
RORY: Exactly!
JESS: You're difficult. (This time mocking Meg Ryan in that movie.)
RORY: Well at least you liked it enough to remember that part.
JESS: Speaking of movies.you wanna go see a movie tonight? Lorelai could come too.
RORY: Sure, what do you wanna see?
JESS: I dunno, how bout The Road to Perdition?
RORY: Oh oh oh! That looks so good! My mom would totally go for that.
JESS: Cool! Well then call her and see if she wants to go. My treat.
RORY: Thanks! (Kisses him on the cheek)
[FADE to the front of the movie theatre where RORY and JESS are waiting for LORELAI.]
JESS: So what all have you seen with Tom Hanks in it?
RORY: You name it, I've seen it.
JESS: Okay then. I personally liked the movie BIG. When I was a kid I wanted to grow up so fast. It would have been cool to spend a day in grown up shoes.
RORY: Yeah, I liked that movie too. Good point. (LORELAI walks up.)
LORELAI: Hey guys! How was working at the diner?
RORY: It was so much fun! (Hugs LORELAI.)
JESS: Hey Lorelai.
LORELAI: Hey Jess.
JESS: So we kinda thought we would see The Road to Perdition. Sound okay?
LORELAI: Yeah, great!
JESS: Cool, I'll go get us tickets.
(LORELAI starts to go through her purse for cash. JESS sees her do this and stops her.)
JESS: No Lorelai, my treat.
LORELAI: Thanks Jess!
(JESS leaves.)
LORELAI: He's already paying for stuff? I might get to like him a lot quicker than I thought.
RORY: He's just trying to be nice. Don't give him a hard time.he's trying.
LORELAI: Okay, I'll try.
[FADE to outside after the movie.]
RORY: Well that was good.
JESS: Yeah, it was okay.
LORELAI: Jude Law melts my butter!
(They all laugh as they walk home together. RORY and LORELAI drop JESS off at the diner before they head home. JESS gave RORY a quick kiss on the cheek before saying goodbye to LORELAI and heading into the diner. As RORY and LORELAI walk home RORY kept thinking about how good it felt to have JESS. During the movie, whenever someone got shot, RORY grabbed JESS' arm and gave her a comfort hug. She liked that.]
[FADE to JESS' room in the apartment the next day. His eye was looking a lot better and if you weren't looking closely, you could barely tell that it was hurt.]
JESS: I can't believe that your mom let you come up here.
RORY: Yeah, well she's in the diner and will be down there until I come down. I think she appreciates the "alone time" with Luke.
JESS: (Laughs.) Yeah. So what do you wanna do?
RORY: I dunno. (She starts to look around his room. His CD's, his books, his posters.)
JESS: (Sees her eyeing his book collection.) If you see something you haven't read you can borrow it ya know.
RORY: Thanks! (Continues looking and then moves on to his CD collection.) What's your favorite CD?
JESS: Oh, jeez, I dunno. What's yours?
RORY: I kinda like The Calling's Camino Palmero. But that's just for right now, it changes every week or so.
JESS: Ah, good CD. I don't know if they are my favorite type of band, but still good. I like "Nothings Changed At All."
RORY: (Picks up a CD with an evil grin on her face. JESS looks worried.) You have the soundtrack to Grease?
JESS: Yeah, ok, enough with the CD's. (Embarrassed.)
RORY: So what do you wanna do? (RORY sits on his bed.)
JESS: Must you ask? (He sits down on his bed next to her and kisses her.)
RORY: Yeah, I don't mind doin that either! (Smiles and continues to kiss him.)
(They kiss for a few more minutes before they break apart.)
JESS: Dang Rory! That was good!
RORY: Thank you. (She giggles and leans in to him and puts her head on his shoulder.)
JESS: Luke probably needs me. (Reluctantly.)
RORY: Yeah, I should be going too. My mom wanted me to help her at the Inn today.
JESS: Let's go.
[FADE to the diner]
LUKE: Hey you guys, what's up?
RORY: Not much. Where'd my mom go? (RORY looks around the room and sees her mom is gone.)
LUKE: She had to leave. She told me to tell you to meet her at the Inn.
JESS: What did you do Luke? Did you put the moves on her or something?
LUKE: (Suddenly red for some reason.) No.
JESS: (Whispers) Well, you should.ya never know.she might like it. (Smiles mischievously.)
LUKE: Okay, ya know what Jess, go with Rory. Go see if Lorelai could use your help at the Inn too.
JESS: You want me to go see Lorelai? Wouldn't you want to do that?
LUKE: Goodbye Jess!
JESS: Fine, I know when I'm not wanted. (Grabs his jacket and walks out the door. A second later he comes back in.) Uh, Rory, where is the Inn?
RORY: (Laughs.) I'll show you. Bye Luke.
LUKE: EH!
[FADE to the Independence Inn]
JESS: So this is it, huh?
RORY: Yup! This is it!
JESS: Cool, let's go.
(They walk in and go up to the front desk where Michel is working.)
RORY: Hey Michel!
MICHEL: Eh.
RORY: Where's my mom?
MICHEL: Eh.
RORY: Okay then. Thank you.
(They go past Michel and into the kitchen.)
JESS: So that's Michel.
RORY: In all his glory.
JESS: Right.
(LORELAI and SOOKIE turn around when they hear their voices.)
LORELAI: Hey you guys!
RORY: Hey mom.
SOOKIE: Hey Rory. Who is your friend?
RORY: Oh, Sookie this is Jess, Jess this is Sookie.
SOOKIE: Hello.
JESS: Hey.
RORY: We came to see if you needed any help.
LORELAI: We could always use some help. Here, ya know what? I have a job for you guys already. Take this basket and go make sure that every room has soap, shampoo, and plenty of washcloths and towels. Okay?
RORY: Yeah, sure. Come on Jess.
JESS: It was nice meeting you Sookie. Bye, Lorelai.
(They leave the room.)
SOOKIE: So, that's Jess?
LORELAI: Yeah, that's Jess.
SOOKIE: He seemed nice. I don't get what was wrong.
LORELAI: He never used to be like that. But since he came back from New York he shaped up or something. Rory has changed him.
SOOKIE: She can have that affect on people.
LORELAI: (Smiles) Yeah, she can.
[FADE to RORY and JESS walking the halls of the Independence Inn]
JESS: Is it just me or is your mom warming up to me?
RORY: I don't know. She might be. She hasn't told me its ok to hang out with you alone or anything, but she hasn't told me to leave you alone either so that's good.
JESS: Yeah. (Adds a bar of soap in a bathroom.) Sookie's eyes widened when you introduced me though so she has obviously been told about me.
RORY: Yeah, well Sookie is my mom's other best friend. She tells her everything.
(They come to the end of the hallway and turn back.)
RORY: Looks like we are done here, you wanna go get some lunch or something? Sookie is a really good cook.
JESS: Yeah, sure.
[FADE to the kitchen of the Inn]
LORELAI: You guys get the rooms?
RORY: Yeah. So what do we do now?
LORELAI: Lunch. Definitely lunch.
RORY: Good. (Smiles at JESS and then leans over to him and whispers.) Didn't even have to ask.
JESS: (Smiles.) You've got it down by now, don't you?
RORY: It's a science.
(They laugh and move ahead to get some sandwich ingredients.)
