CUT TO – Luke's

(LEO enters with WYATT on his hand and CHRIS in a stroller)

PHOEBE: (seeing them) Ah, the modern man.

PAIGE: We raised him well.

PIPER: That's what six years of Halliwells does to a man.

LUKE: (observing the scene, standing next to LEO) They are mocking you, my friend.

LEO: I chose this life.

LUKE: Poor man.

PIPER: Hey!

LEO: (kisses his wife) Honey. (turns to PHOEBE and PAIGE) Hi guys.

WYATT: (walks over to PHOEBE) auntie Phoeb, auntie Paich

(PHOEBE and PAIGE are both staring)

PHOEBE: He's talking. (picks WYATT up) You're so smart!

PAIGE: He knows our names!

PIPER: I told you guys they wouldn't forget you.

PAIGE: We just proved her right.

PHOEBE: We'll get her back later.

PIPER: Hey, when did it become two against one?

PHOEBE: Since you left us.

PIPER: (sighs) It's hopeless discussing with you guys.

(PAIGE sticks out her tongue)

LORELAI: Anything else you wanted to know mom?

EMILY: Why would you think that?

LORELAI: Oh come on, we've been coming the last months with the four of us to dinner.

EMILY: Can't a mother just call her daughter.

EMILY: We had another fight and he told me he was leaving.

LORELAI: (shocked) What was the fight about?

EMILY: That's not important.

EMILY: (pauses) It was about you.

LORELAI: It's my fault he's leaving?

EMILY: No, it's my fault. He says it's my fault you left and that I'm too though on you.

(LORELAI is silent)

EMILY: Lorelai? Lorelai, are you still there.

LORELAI: I'm here.

EMILY: I'm sorry.

LORELAI: We shouldn't be doing this by the phone, but thanks.

EMILY: Could we meet somewhere for lunch tomorrow?

LORELAI: What about tonight? We can eat at my place and you can stay in Rory's room.

EMILY: What about Luke?

LORELAI: He can cook for us and then he go to the apartment.

EMILY: (smiling) Is he going to be okay with that?

LORELAI: He doesn't have a choice. I'll rent some movies, get some junk food and we can have a movie night.

EMILY: A movie night?

LORELAI: Yeah, a bit of mother-daughter bonding. It'll be fun.

EMILY: Okay then, I'll be there at seven?

LORELAI: See you then, mom.

EMILY: Goodbye Lorelai.
