GILMORE HOUSE

(Lorelai is brushing Rory's hair)

RORY: So he said you were his girlfriend? Wow. Why did he do that?

LORELAI: Do I look like Miss Cleo to you?

RORY: No, but sometimes you do bear a strong resemblance to Dion.

(Lorelai ignores the comment)

LORELAI: Then I start rambling on about my job at the inn and the coffee makers. I felt like a complete idiot.

RORY: At least you were complete.

LORELAI: Not funny. Go , I'm through with you.

RORY: Thank Goodness. I hope you left some of hair on my head.

LORELAI: Maybe late one night I'll introduce them to sammy. the scissors.

RORY: And then next week explain to Grandma why I'm bald.

LORELAI: You'll wear a wig.

RORY: She'll know.

LORELAI: You won't go.

RORY: And when she asks for me?

LORELAI: I'll tell her you were kidnapped by Spanish Musicians wearing ten gallon hats and rhinestone jacket, when really I've killed you and buried you the front yard.

RORY: Why the front yard?

LORELAI: All psychos bury their loved ones the back yard. I am a maverick.

RORY: A maverick psycho?

LORELAI: Exactly.

RORY: Hey, do you and Luke have to be boyfriend and girlfriend for as long as Rachel here? I mean what if she stays here in Star Hollow for like ..ever, will you and Luke still be boyfriend and girlfriend or will you guys get married and have kids later. Hey, will I have to call him dad or just stick to Luke? ….Oooo, will we get free coffee and Danish? Wow this could be promising. And Luke will live here, because his apartment is too small, and we won't have to call him to fix the house. And he'll add a whole to wing to it for your children, my half siblings, cuz I'm not giving up my room.

LORELAI: Would you shut up? Man, where did you learn to think like that anyway?

RORY: Probably the Spanish Musicians.

(Knock on the door)

RORY: Salvation! See ya.

LORELAI: Bye , have a good time. Don't do anything I've done.

RORY: I will.

LORELAI: Hey!

(Rory opens the door to find Luke and a big devilish smile appears on her face)

RORY: Daddy! I'm so glad you're home! (she says load enough for Lorelai to hear and gives Luke a hug)

LUKE: Does she tell you everything?

RORY: It's a burden I have to bear. Hey, can I get free burgers and fries if I get her to put out?

LORELAI: Hey! How dare you pimp your beautiful, sweet, and may I add only, mother like that? Make sure you get coffee and donuts in that deal.

RORY: Well I figured you already cut that deal.

LUKE: What government experiment did you two sign up for anyway?

(Lorelai and Rory just giggle)

RORY: I'm going to double check how I look.

LORELAI: I'll call you when Dean gets here.

RORY: Ok. And no making out on the couch.

LORELAI: Only in the kitchen.

LUKE: jezz, why do you say stuff like that?

LORELAI: Come on, you know you love it. (she says seductively)

(Luke sign deeply and tries to forget about the way she said that)

LUKE: Can we talk?

(Lorelai fakes a shocked expression)

LORELAI: Are you dumping me?

LUKE: What?

LORELAI: You're dumping me aren't you?

LUKE: Lorelai.

LORELAI: I knew it. The love of you life saunters into the dinner, and now you're dumping me to get back with her.

LUKE: I'm not dum…what am I saying, we're not together.

LORELAI: See! Now you're denying our relationship altogether. Did those months of picnics and dancing mean nothing to you?

LUKE: We've only been together a week.

LORELAI: And already you're tired of me. Do I not do it for you in bed? Do you think of her when you're with me? When we make love do you see here face? wow! When we make love? I wonder ….STOP!

LUKE: (Luke steps closer to Lorelai and leans in so his lips are almost touching her ear and slowly in a husky voice says).You are always the only person on my mind when we make love.

(Lorelai is stunned to silence, and tried to control the weird feeling she was having caused by Luke's mouth. After getting the reaction he was hoping for, Luke continued.)

LUKE: Can we sit and talk seriously now?

LORELAI: Um…sure.

(They sit)

LUKE: I'm sorry about bringing you into this.

LORELAI: That's ok.

LUKE: I really didn't mean to say that you're my… girlfriend, it just came out.

LORELAI: Why did you do it?

LUKE: I don't know. I guess I just got desperate.

LORELAI: Thanks.

LUKE: No! I mean I just.. I didn't want to fall back into… that relationship again.

LORELAI: She hurt you?

LUKE: Yeah.

LORELAI: I'm sorry.

LUKE: It's ok.

LORELAI: So what now?

LUKE: Um…well she going to be in town for a few weeks.

LORELAI: And you want me to be your girlfriend until she leaves?

LUKE: This is so pathetic.

LORELAI: Hey, you've saved me from double pathetic moments many times. The least I can do is return the favor.

LUKE: Thanks

LORELAI: Oh, my pleasure. This is going to be so much fun. Now I can get free coffee. And we can have lovers' spats and then make up and I can …

LUKE: There's more.

LORELAI: More what?

(Luke sighs deeply)

LUKE: How would you feel if your boyfriend invited his ex-girlfriend to stay at his place for three week?

(Lorelai again turns drama queen and fakes shock to cover the feeling of jealousy)

LORELAI: How dare you! We are through!

LUKE: She was going to stay at the inn, and I thought that would be too expensive and unnecessary. So I told her she could stay at my place.

LORELAI: And she didn't think that was weird?

LUKE: She did. That's why I told her that I would stay with you.

LORELAI: What? wow. live in Luke. This could be good. Wait, why is this good? Oh yeah, free coffee.

LUKE: Look I don't have to stay here. I'll just find somewhere else to stay like a motel or something. I don't want to put you out more than I already have and I know how weird it would be for me to stay here, not to mention how it will affect Rory. I'll just get some stuff from my apartment and find a place in Hartford or something so no one sees me and I can always….

LORELAI: Luke you don't have to stay at a motel. (Lorelai cuts off his rambling)

LUKE: No, it's ok. It's the best thing to do. It's the right thing to do.

LORELAI: Luke, you can stay here.

LUKE: No, Lorelai, I'll be fine. It's too much to ask and..

LORELAI: Luke. You're staying here. I'll talk to Rory, I'm sure she'll be fine with it. You'll stay here. You can sleep on the couch or something.

LUKE: Lorelai….

LORELAI: Decision made Luke.

LUKE: Thank you. (He smiles, their eyes meet and she smiles back)

LORELAI: So ... We've been together for a week?

(After Luke left, Lorelai when to help Rory get ready and to tell about her conversation with Luke. Rory agreed to Luke staying at the house.)
