New opportunity
Dragonfly Michel is talking to Lorelai)
Have you thought about Mike Armstrong's offer?
Yes I have
And
And what?
Are you going to take it?
I haven't decided yet
Can I give you my opinion?
Sure
Don't take it
Alright Michel
I mean I understand you aren't exactly happy right now and a new opportunity would be nice for you especially after your whole break up with the diner man but you still have Rory and you have barely had your inn for a year and I just don't' think you should sell it and go work for this Mike Armstrong guy.
Wow Michel that was very nice of you to say
And I don't want to lose my job
Now there's the Michel I know
Diner (Sookie Walks in with Davie and her new baby)
Hi Luke
Hi Sookie What can I get you
A cup of coffee to go
Alright
So how have you been?
Okay considering
She's still not herself you know
Yeah I've heard
Do you talk to her much?
Not really why
Well there's this guy Mike Armstrong and he wants to invest in the inn and give her a job as a traveling consultant for one of his companies
Is she going to take it?
I don't know but she is thinking about it
Any certain way
She says she's not but the way things have been lately I'm not quite sure
What do you mean?
Well Rory is dating this rich snotty kid name Logan and Emily and Richard invited him for dinner so Lorelai went because she wanted to learn more about Logan and now her opinion of him is even lower than before. To top if off Emily treated her like he was the scum of the earth completely ignored her and after Logan and Rory left the three of them got into this heated argument but because Lorelai went to dinner to learn more about Logan she has to go back to Friday night dinners
Wow
That's not all Rory is not herself either?
What do you mean?
She's not the Rory we all used to know she's acting out a little more slowly picking fight completely throwing herself for this guy. Lorelai can barley handle it
I'm sorry to hear that
Yeah I'm afraid if one more thing happens Lorelai will take the job and she'll be leaving Stars Hollow for good
(So we have the whole Friday night dinner thing with the magazine article and Rory's conversation with Michum and then her and Logan stealing the boat the only difference is that Lorelai leaves Friday night dinner and ends up in the town square when Rory calls her with Luke)
Town Square (Lorelai is sitting on a bench with her head in her hands, Luke sees her through the diner window he comes outside)
Are you okay?
(Lorelai looks up and is shocked to see Luke)
Oh yeah I'm fine just a really acqward Friday night dinner
Why
Have you heard about the magazine cover for the inn?
Yeah I heard about it
Have you read it?
No not yet
(Lorelai takes a copy out of the bag)
Here you go, take a few minutes read it and then you'll understand
Alright
(Luke reads it)
Wow
Yep
How did she take it?
Oh she completely freaked out
Did you watch her read it?
No I hid in my dads office and locked the door till she finished
And
She wasn't happy
I can imagine
It's a nice article
Yes it is
You should be proud of yourself I know I am
Thank you
What did Rory think of the article?
She hasn't read it yet
Wasn't she at dinner?
No she never showed up
She didn't
No
(Lorelai's phone rings)
Speak of the devil
Hello
Mom
Yes Rory
Can you come get me?
Where are you?
