..::Independence Inn - Front Desk - Morning::..
(LORELAI and her WAITER are arguing at the front desk, its obvious the argument as gone on for more than a couple minutes because LORELAI is now begging.)
LORELAI: No, you see, we are already short handed and we need you! Please!
WAITER: I'm moving. I can't change the date I'm supposed to move to accommodate your plans, that's ludicrous.
LORELAI: Ok, well, I know that… but we are already struggling and we could use your help. We need you like, um, (sing-songy) like water, like breath, like rain…
(The WAITER just stares, unimpressed as LORELAI feels a little embarrassed.)
LORELAI: Ok, just a little… LeAnn Rimes joke there, um, anyway, is there anyway you could stay for just one more week?
WAITER: And miss my grandmother's funeral? Which is in Vermont, which is where I'm supposed to be moving. Tomorrow. Where I'm supposed to be moving tomorrow…
LORELAI: (begging) Please!
WAITER: Hello? It's my grandmother's funeral! It's kinda a once in a lifetime thing.
LORELAI: (sighs) Yea I know, I'm sorry. I guess that leaves me to find another waiter…
WAITER: I am sorry about this, just for the record.
LORELAI: Yea, well, not as sorry as I am.
(LORELAI sighs as she watches the waiter walk away. The Inn is already shorthanded and she can't think of anyone to replace him. Then, something clicks and almost dives for the phone, only to find Michel is using it.)
LORELAI: Michel! I need the phone!
MICHEL: (on phone) Yes. Yes I know. But we are booked that weekend ma'am.
LORELAI: (waving her hands in the air) Hello? Michel?
MICHEL: (still ignoring LORELAI) You think I intentionally planned this? No ma'am, this isn't a conspiracy against you.
LORELAI: (whispering as loudly as she can) Hey, Michel? I need the phone! Now!
(MICHEL looks at LORELAI and rolls his eyes, then looks shocked as he listens to the lady on the other end.)
MICHEL: (disgusted) What in the… are you on something?
LORELAI: (shocked, grabbing the phone and holding the mouthpiece) Michel! You can't talk to our guests like that! What's wrong with you?
MICHEL: (walking away) Fine. You take care of it. Besides, what are you going to do, fire me?
LORELAI: (glaring) We're short on waiters. I wouldn't fire you, but I sure as hell would demote you, come to think of it, I'd love to see you waiting tables.
MICHEL: I'll get back to work now.
LORELAI: That's what I thought.
(LORELAI looks down and realizes the phone is still in her hand. She quickly puts it to her ear. She goes to say something, but realizes the lady on the other end is babbling on and on about seemingly nothing. After a while, she can't even understand what the lady is saying and looks baffled.)
LORELAI: Are you on something?
MICHEL: (from the back-round) I told you!
..::Gilmore House - Morning::..
(JESS and RORY are sitting on the couch, watching a movie. JESS keeps stealing glances at her, but when she looks back, he quickly turns back to watching the movie. She begins to blush, then hears the phone ring.)
RORY: (on phone) Hello?
LORELAI: (in her best girly voice) Hi, uh, is Jess there?
RORY: (confused) Who is this?
LORELAI: (in her own voice) Oh, I heard some jealousy in that tone!
RORY: (rolling her eyes) You've really stooped to new lows.
LORELAI: Ok Mrs. I'm jealous even though I have a boyfriend.
RORY: (sighing) Mom…
LORELAI: Yea, yea, yea. So, is he there?
RORY: Yes, he's here.
LORELAI: Oook. Can I talk to him?
RORY: (looking at JESS) You want to talk to him?
LORELAI: That's what I said.
RORY: And that's what I heard you say, but… (suspicious) why do you want to talk to him?
LORELAI: So I can find out how he gets his hair that way? Rory, why does it matter, just let me talk to him.
RORY: Geez, fine. (holding the phone out to JESS) It's for you.
JESS: (holding the phone in his hands, whispering) Who is it?
RORY: (shrugging her shoulders) My Mom. She wants to talk with you about something.
JESS: (on phone, still looking at RORY) Um, hello?
LORELAI: Hey Jess!
JESS: (mocking) Hey Lorelai!
LORELAI: Ok, not a good way to talk to me if you want to live at my house.
JESS: Sorry.
LORELAI: Right. So, anyway, I would like to offer you a job.
JESS: A job?
LORELAI: Yes, a job. You did say you needed extra money, for the rent, right?
JESS: (sighing) Yes.
LORELAI: Great! Well, we need a waiter. And since I know your schedule at Luke's, and I will soon know your schedule at Wal*Mart, we can arrange something.
JESS: Well, um…
LORELAI: (ignoring JESS) But right now I gotta go. Call me back within the hour with the answer, Ok? Rory should have the number. Tell her I said bye.
JESS: Um, sure.
LORELAI: Bye!
(JESS hangs up the phone and sighs; he really doesn't want to work there with LORELAI, whatsoever. RORY is staring at him, eagerly waiting to hear what LORELAI had to say.)
RORY: Well?
JESS: She wants me to work at the Inn.
RORY: Oh really? For what?
JESS: Extra money. I'm getting that strange vibe that she's trying every way to get me out of here as soon as she can…
RORY: (laughing) Yea well, you guys aren't exactly buddy-buddy.
JESS: Yea, guess not.
RORY: So what was the position?
JESS: A waiter.
RORY: Aww! A waiter! You would look so cute in the little tux and all cleaned up…
JESS: Tux?
RORY: Yea, you didn't know they wore tuxes?
JESS: (getting up) Ok. Now I'm definatly not working there!
RORY: (following) But Jess, you could really win over my Mom this way. I think she would really like it. (Baby voice) And the tux would look so cutesy-wootsy!
JESS: I am not wearing a tux!
RORY: Oh calm down. It could be fun you know.
JESS: Hm, really? Should we recap what your mother just asked me to do? She just asked me to work at an Inn, which I hate…
RORY: You've never even been there.
JESS: …Work in a tux, which I don't want to wear, and on top of it all work with her.
RORY: You make it sound like some horrible punishment.
JESS: I think I hear the death penalty calling my name…
RORY: Jess! I work there to; maybe she could fit our schedules together so it won't be so boring for you.
(Once JESS realizes RORY works there, he immediately becomes interested when before working at the Inn wasn't even an option he would have considered.)
JESS: (surprised) Oh, I didn't know you worked there.
RORY: Well I don't ever recall you asking.
JESS: Well maybe your right, maybe it won't be so bad?
RORY: That's the spirit! Now, lets finish watching the movie, and then you can call my Mom back and tell her the good news. Deal?
JESS: (smiling) Deal.
(RORY and JESS go back to watching their movie. JESS realizes he just made it so he and RORY will be together even more than usual, and goes back to watching the movie a very happy man.)
