Dinner with Jimmy & Sasha
Lorelai, Luke, Jess, Rory, Ana and Lily arrive at the house at 7, they see the front door open and they decide to walk in, Lorelai calls out for Sasha and you see Sasha walk in to the Living room
Sasha- Hi everyone please come in and have a seat
Ana- Sasha I am going to go put my bag in Lily's room
Sasha- ok, your other one is in there already
Lily- mom I am going to go with her
Sasha- ok, dinner is in 45 minutes
Lily & Ana- ok
They leave the room and they bump in to Jimmy who is walking out in to the living room
Jimmy- hi kiddo (Lily puts her arms around Jimmy, and Jimmy hugs back)
Lily- hi, were going to be in my room
Jimmy- ok, hi Ana
Ana- hi
Jimmy enters the living room
Jimmy- hi guys
Jess- hi
Rory- hi
Lorelai- hey Jimmy, what's up
Luke-…. (Silent)
Awkward Silence
Jess- ok everyone how about we sit
They sit and Sasha walks out
Sasha- ok everyone, what would you like to drink, we have pop, wine, beer, water, milk, juice
Jess- pop
Lorelai- wine
Luke-beer
Jimmy-beer
Rory- I'll come and help you
Sasha- ok, thanks Rory
Lorelai- I'll come to
Sasha- ok
Sasha, Rory, and Lorelai leave to go to the kitchen,
Jess- so
Luke looks at Jess, while Jimmy looks at Jess as well
Jess- I'll be right back (he starts getting up)
Luke and Jimmy- No!
Jess- I'll be 3 minutes (he leaves)
Luke and Jimmy are avoiding looking at each other, and they just sit there in the awkward silence, till they see Jess coming out, he then looks at them and he goes straight to the kitchen
Lorelai- are they talking to each other
Jess- nope, they are avoiding each other
Sasha- they have to sooner or later speak, let's stay in here for a few minutes
Rory- ok
Jess- by the way Lily and Ana want milk and cookies
Rory- I'll bring it them
Sasha- ok, you know where the cookies are, I'll pour them milk
Rory pulls out Oreo's
Lorelai- oh my god you have Oreo's can I have some please
Jess- me too
Rory grabs out 10 cookies and puts them on a plate; she then puts them on the table where Lorelai, and Jess are sitting, Sasha hands her a tray and puts the milk and cookies on it, then Rory walks out of the kitchen to go to Lily's room.
Jimmy and Luke stare at Rory as she passes by with a tray in her hand, and goes straight to Lily's Room, she then walks out and goes back towards the kitchen
Rory- the drinks will be here in 5 minutes
Jimmy- thanks
Luke- yeah thanks Rory
Rory goes in to the kitchen; back in the Living room
Jimmy- do you want to put the TV on
Luke- I don't care it isn't my house
Jimmy gets up, gets the remote and hands it to Luke
Jimmy- we could watch satellite
Luke (silent)
Jimmy- do you know how to turn it on
Luke- no
Jimmy- here I'll show you
He sits next to Luke, and Jimmy shows him which buttons to press
Luke- so this one
Jimmy- yup
Luke- then this one
Jimmy- yup
The satellite turns on and Luke looks pleased with himself
Jimmy- (he places his hand on Lukes shoulder) there see that wasn't so hard
Luke looks at Jimmy's hand then looks at Jimmy, Jimmy puts his hand down
Luke- you're right it wasn't
Jimmy- Luke, I've changed
Luke- Jimmy if you changed then you would of gone back, and helped out or at least call and set things straight but you didn't you just stayed away then 18 years later you show up, what were you expecting did you expect everything was going to be ok, and he would forgot that you skipped town on him and Liz, he always took the heat for you leaving.
Jimmy- Luke I know what I did, but I couldn't do it, I couldn't care for anyone else, if I wasn't even able to care for myself, so I left thinking that everything will work out for him and that Liz will take care of him
Luke- but she didn't, she just made Jess build walls, that are so hard to take away, but since he's lived with me, he has taken them away but it was so hard and there are still one or two more that are half way down.
Jimmy- Luke that's why I came back, I came back because I realize what I did was a very bad decision and I am here to try to help Jess get that wall down that has to do with Liz and I, because I know Liz still doesn't give a shit what she did to her son, but I know I was the cause of it but I give a shit or else I wouldn't of come to stars hollow, Luke my life has become so much better, I was able to fix it and now I am trying to help Jess by giving him a chance to get to know me, and get close with me, he doesn't have to but he chose to and I am not going to walk away from knowing who my son is and my son knowing me, I have a very steady girlfriend or by law we've lived together for 10 years and we are pretty much legally married, Sasha has a daughter who knows me as her father only because I've been there in her life since she was 4, and I know I've only been in Jess's life for a few days but it's a start because then at least he has a chance to know me and if he doesn't like what he sees he can stop seeing me and never ever hear from me again.
Luke- I swear Jimmy, you and I use to be best friends you better be serious, because I will not have you walk into Jess' life, when he is just trusting people and let people in, just to take off and leave him hart broken and angry at the world, because I swear that if you do that to him I will hunt you down and kill you because I love him and I hate that he would have to go through that again.
Jimmy- Luke I appreciate it this and you are not going to regret it, I promise you on "spock"
(Luke looks up at Jimmy) you still have that?
Jimmy- yes I do
Luke- where?
Jimmy- in my den
(Luke stands up) let me see it
Lorelai and Rory and Sasha and Jess are coming in holding the drinks
Luke- where going to be right back Sas
Sasha- ok
Jimmy and Luke leave the room and go in the den, they come out holding Spock
Sasha- oh my god, Jimmy you still have that I forgot about that
Jimmy- yup I still have that and it still works
Luke- do you want to go play
Jimmy- I would be honored to
Luke and Jimmy go in the back yard and everyone else follows carrying the tray of drinks, Sasha then goes and tells Lily that they will be outside
Luke- do you remember that sticker (he points to a band sticker)
Jimmy- that was the night we went to their concert and we got drunk and got tattoo's
Luke- I still have mine but it faded
Jimmy- me too, god that was night was soo much fun
Lorelai- you guys have tattoos?
Luke and Jimmy- yup
Rory- where?
Jimmy- on our shoulder blades
Jimmy and Luke take off their tops and show them the tattoos they are of "Jimmy and Luke, stones concert, 1986"
Luke- remember…we skipped a week of school just to get tickets for that concert, that was the best concert we went to that year.
Jimmy- I remember when we played on the basketball team, the whole team went and celebrated the championship in 1983,1984 and then the whole went for a joyride and every year we won that championship we would go and graffiti our school mascot and the year under it on the school that lost against us in the championships, remember Billy got them both tattooed on his chest, in the summer of 1984 I went to New York and I spent senior year there. Then Luke went to college in 1987 and Sasha stayed in town, Sasha moved to Chicago with Daniel McGuire and Sasha was pregnant with Lily, she was going to be due in May of 1991,
Luke- I was in college in Orange County
Sasha- and I was on my way to Chicago, then on May 25 1991, I went to the hospital and I got Daniel to call Luke, he came to the hospital he got there 25 minutes after Lily was born, he stayed with Daniel and me for a month, Luke was able to get off work at the Restaurant called Tuscany, he was a chef, Daniel at the time was an Accountant for Law Firms.
Luke- then June 1 Luke went back to OC
Jimmy- yeah, so do you want to play 24
Luke- ok
Luke and Jimmy start playing
Sasha- hey Luke do you remember the party of 1983 and 1986, in 1983 I threw that party for us getting in to High school and the whole school came to it, but the one in 1986 was for us getting out, that party was a blast 3 high schools were at that party and it was at Lonnie O'Douis's house, she was loaded rich, we spent so many hours at that house the party lasted till 6 in the morning, we had so much to drink and I hooked up with Luke that night.
Luke- yeah you did
Jess- wait a minute you dated Luke
Lorelai- for how long
Luke- 1 week
Sasha- we broke up because we both realized we were better as friends, and that it won't work out to be anything else
Jimmy- it felt weird having them date, it wasn't like it has been for 13 years, I left town on January 1 1984 and I moved to New York, and I got a job at a bar called Xavier, and I was working one night till 8, it was June 28 1984, and there was this woman she had Blonde hair and Brown eyes, and she and I started talking and we went to another bar that has last call at 3 in the morning, her and I were talking and drinking and we fell for each other so we started dating and we were dating for 8 months and 2 weeks, one the first night that we met we had sex and you Jess were conceived at the time we thought we were in love and we were young and I didn't know how to take care of myself I would party all the time and I was wasting my money so I had to work really long hours just so I could pay off my rent, I was a mess and so was Liz, but she cleaned up for the 8 months that you were inside of her, she even stayed clean till you were 5, I stayed in contact with our neighbor Ms. Adams and she kept me updated on how Liz was doing and you, she said that you were really happy but then Liz started leaving you with Ms.Adams and she would come pick you up at 3 in the morning and she would have a guy with her every night, and in the morning Ms.Adams heard yelling coming from your room and she would always go see what was going on and when she knocked on the door, the guy was leaving and Liz was crying holding her face in her hands and when she finally stopped crying there were bruises on her and you, but not as bad as Liz's, Ms.Adams went to you and was looking to see if you were ok and try to calm you down and you did stop she sent you in to her apartment for cookies and milk and too put ice on you cut, then when you were gone she went to go talk to Liz, but Liz was still high on the blow, so she didn't understand a word that Ms.Adams was saying, so Ms.Adams went to go to get Liz an ice pack and then she went across the hall, Then 3 hours later Ms.Adams died of a heart attack and you ended up being all alone again, and then shit got worse and I didn't come to help because I was too busy thinking of myself and I never ever got updated on you and Liz, so I figured it was destiny and I stayed away, I left Nevada and I moved back to Venice Beach in 1989, and I tried to make my life better and I did it by going to finish my final year of high school and by going to get a job in the hot dog vending business and I met up with Sasha again in June of 1994 when she was living here with Lily.
Sasha- then in 1994, Daniel and I just got a Divorce and I got a nice sum of money and I moved back to Venice Beach, and Lily and I bought this house and we've been in here ever since, Luke moved to Stars Hollow in May of 1991, and he's lived there ever since, Jimmy had made contact with Liz in July of 2002, and she said that she sent Jess to Live with Luke in 1999, and Jimmy was contemplating of going to see you , but he couldn't do it because of all the stuff he put you through when he left 2 weeks after you were born, Luke and I lost contact 1993 and we haven't talked till now, I told Luke I was Dating Jimmy and he told me that if I do then he'll screw up my life like he did with Jess and Liz, but I ignored him and we got into a fight and we stopped talking, that is the History of Luke, Jimmy, and I.
Jess- It's weird that I am not mad, I think it's because I already figured that out, and I already knew all that because Luke filled me in, but I still hate that you knew what was happening around me and you didn't even bother to come and rescue me from that, but like you said you were 17 and you didn't want to deal with being a father
Jimmy- I am so sorry for being selfish Jess, I really wish I could make it up to you but I don't know if it is enough I ruined your life and I let you live a childhood full of craziness, and sadness, and it was stupid that I could of taken you away from that but I didn't, but now I am going to try to be there, if not as a father but as a friend, and I told Luke that I am never going to leave your life again, because the first time left me with so many regrets and it tarred you apart and I've grown up a lot over the years and I know now what is important and what I have to do to keep my life the way it is, I actually enjoy my life right now and if I had you in it, it would give me more of an reason to keep it on track, I am succeeding in life and it feels good to be grounded, so I hope one day you forgive me.
Jess- one day, but for now let's just be friends
Jimmy- cool, would you like to play with Luke and I
Jess- ok, how about we all play
Lily walks out of the house caring a box of pizza with Ana helping by holding the other end of the box
Lily- Guys pizza is here lets eat
Sasha- did you pay Joe
Lily- yup and can we eat outside
Rory- yeah It's beautiful tonight
Sasha- ok
Rory- Jess can you come and Help me please
Jess- ok
Jess and Rory go in to the kitchen, Rory grabs plates and Jess grabs drinks and then they grab napkins, they put them on the tray and they start heading outside again.
Rory- hey babe, wait a second
Jess- yeah
Rory- you ok
Jess- yes, that story was full of facts that I already knew about, and what I said was true I am not ready to call Jimmy dad, but I am ready to have him be my friend, and I want to stay in contact with him
Rory- good I think you should, it's obvious that he has changed and Luke wouldn't have forgave him if he knew that Jimmy didn't change
Jess- yeah I know
Rory- I love you
Jess- I Love you too, I can't wait to get back to the hotel, I am going to show you how much I love you
Rory- really, well I can't wait
Jess and Rory kiss
They walk outside carrying the tray and they place it on the table where they are all sitting
Sasha- you didn't have to go get the stuff I would have
Jess- we wanted too, so everybody lets eat
2 hours later and 3 games of 24, Jess and Rory, and Luke and Lorelai all headed back to the hotel, where both couples parted and promised to meet in the lobby at 12, to spend time together, the night ended with both Lorelai and Luke making love and as well as Jess and Rory.
