Rory and Lane go upstairs and Jess hears the door shut

Jess- finally, Dave remind me to thank your girlfriend

Lorelai- why are you, thanking god, Jess

Jess- because I need to ask you and Luke something and Rory can't hear

Lorelai- your keeping secrets

Jess- temporally

Lorelai- ok spill buck a roo

Jess- Luke come here please

Luke walks up to the table

Luke- what?

Jess- please have a seat, I need to ask you guys something (Luke sits) yesterday Dave and I went to a store, and I bought something that was very expansive, but worth the cost, and I need to know if you like it or not.

Lorelai- what did you buy that was so expensive?

Jess- this (he pulls out the box, and places it on the table)

Luke opens it, and his eyes widen

Lorelai- oh my god, Jess Anthony Maraino is this what I think this is, or are my eyes deceiving me?

Jess- no deceiving is involved; you are seeing what everyone else sees

Luke- wow, Jess it is so beautiful, Rory would love it

Jess- so I have your permission to give it to her?

Lorelai- yes, Jess you have our permission and I know she'll love it

Luke- congratulations Jess

Jess- well she hasn't said yes, yet

Lorelai- what about my parents you need there permission

Jess- I called them last night, and they invited us all to dinner including Lane and Dave, so Friday we are going to the Gilmore mansion.

Lorelai- when did you become so smart?

Jess- I have always been smart I have proof of that

Luke- yes Chilton diploma and your attending Yale, no need to rub it in

Jess- but it is so fun, to tease you two about not going to university

Lorelai- but I have a excuse I had Rory, your future wife

Jess- ok, your off the hook, now help me rub it in for Luke

Luke- do you want to live to be able to stick that on Rory's finger?

Jess- I 'l l shut up now

Luke- smart idea

Jess puts the ring away, because he hears the upstairs door slam

Rory- Luke could I have another coffee?

Lorelai- me too, please

Luke- Jess, could you come and take over the cooking please

Jess- yeah sure

Luke goes to the coffee maker, and brings the Gilmore's there coffee, he did not realize that he gave the decaffeinated coffee to Rory instead of Lorelai, but it was too late Lorelai already drank it.

Lorelai- it's odd, I am honestly loving this decaffeinated coffee, it almost taste's like real coffee

Rory- yuck, it's decaffeinated

Lorelai- oh my god, no wonder why it was so delicious Luke gave me regular coffee

Rory- Luke!

Luke- oh my god, Rory I am so sorry, you can have all the coffee you want and it's on the house

Rory- no worries, and thanks for the permission to drink all your coffee

Luke- Oy with the poodles, what have I gotten myself in to?

Rory, Lane, Dave, and Jess are going to go to the some store's in Hartford, and Lorelai is going to go with them, she is going to look for baby clothes.
