AT Luke's
Luke: hey.
Rory & Lorelai: hi
Luke: coffee I assume.
Lorelai: you assume right.
Luke: so today's the big day, Rory.
Rory: yup. You're coming right?
Luke: wouldn't miss it for the world. What time is it at?
Rory: it's at 4:00.
Luke: I'll be there. (Whispers to himself when he leaves their table). We'll be there.
====================================================
After the breakfast rush everyone leaves. The phone rings and Luke answers it.
Luke: hello?
Jess: hey.
Luke: where are you?
Jess: I'm almost in Stars Hollow
(Lorelai walks back into the diner because she forgot her purse)
Luke: nobody's here Jess, so you better hurry when you get off the bus.
Jess: ok, bye.
Luke: bye. (Luke hangs up and turns around to see Lorelai staring at him)
Luke: hi.
Lorelai: I forgot my purse. So, you were talking to Jasmine. Cool.
Luke: yeah.
Lorelai: why is Jess coming back?
Luke: let's just say he's miserable.
Lorelai: he's back for Rory, isn't he?
Luke: I don't know. How would I know? Like if jess would tell me.
Lorelai: but he did tell you that he was miserable, he misses her. So let me ask you again, is he coming back for Rory?
Luke: I don't know. (Lorelai grabs Luke's cap). Give me my hat back.
Lorelai: tell me the truth.
Luke: I don't know. Give me my hat!
Lorelai: not until you tell me.
Luke: I don't know.
Lorelai: nope, wrong answer Luke. Tell me!
Luke: fine! He is coming back for her. Happy now.
Lorelai: ha, I knew it.
Luke: just don't tell her. (Then Jess walks in)
Jess: uh, hi.
Lorelai: Jess. (Lorelai then hugs Jess)
Jess: you sure know how to keep a secret Luke.
Luke: I'm sorry. She kept bugging me, and then she took my hat.
Lorelai: so, what's the plan?
Jess then tells Lorelai the plan.
