Chapter 13

Tristan, Lorelai, and Rory are all driving back home from dinner at the Gilmore's.

Lorelai: so Tristan how are you liking Yale.

Tristan: oh it's great, the best part about it was seeing my Mary though, and it came as a surprise because her and Paris were both going to Harvard... I'm still a little surprise Paris picked Yale over Harvard.

Lorelai: oh! He didn't see the CSPAN freakout!

Rory: nope Paris made me promise not to tell him.

Lorelai: well I didn't promise

Rory: mom..

Lorelai: well I'll at least tell him how it ended.

Rory: go to town.

Lorelai: it ended with pack your chastity belt your going to harvard!

Tristan: wow. So she didn't get in?

Rory: nope.

Tristan: wow.

Rory: yeah that's what she thought too.

Lorelai: yeah apparently Rory was the biggest virgin in the world because she got in to both.

Rory: MOM!

Rory's face turned bright red as she saw Tristan's old high school smirk come out of his face.

Tristan: oh come on Mary we gave you that name for a reason.

Rory: there was no we you started the whole Mary thing.

Tristan: well I am a trendsetter aren't I.

Rory: yeah you're a regular trail blazer.

Lorelai: hey all I know is that she never told me that you look like the younger version of Brad Pitt.

Rory: because if I told you ,you would have accused me of liking him.

Lorelai: which you did and now do.

Tristan: see Mare I told you you'd cave in eventually.

Rory turned to her mother and said...

Rory: see what you give me to deal with now I have to shrink his head back down to normal to fit him through the door.

Tristan: yes but then there's more of me to love.

Rory: true.

Lorelai: ok now that was so sweat and gross that it gave me a tooth ache.

Rory: hey !

Lorelai: sorry, geez! Romeo back there didn't have any problems with it.

FLASHBACK:

TRISTAN: Here's to my love. Oh true apothecary, thy drugs are quick. Line?

PARIS: Thus with a kiss, I die. How hard is that to remember?

TRISTAN: Thus with a kiss, I die. Right. And then I kiss he, right?

PARIS: Yes. You say 'Thus with a kiss, I die.' Then you kiss her and die. Why are you smiling? You think this is a joke? The performance is tomorrow.

TRISTAN: Wait, tomorrow? Oh my God. I totally missed it the first 47 times you said it.

PARIS: I warned you. I am not going to fail this because of you. I will replace you with Brad in a second.

BRAD: Oh, dear God, no.

RORY: Can we just get through the scene?

MADELINE: Please.

PARIS: Fine. But yell line once more and you're out. Start memorizing.

TRISTAN: Oh true apothecary, thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss, I die.

PARIS: What?

TRISTAN: Well, it's just, with this being our last kiss and all, it makes me think about our first kiss. You know, at the party.

RORY: What?

PARIS: Lie down, you're dead.

LOUISE: We all are.

TRISTAN: You remember the kiss. In Act 1 at the Capulet's masked party?

PARIS: What about it?

TRISTAN: Well, I was just trying to think of something that would make this kiss as special as that one.

RORY: Tristan.

TRISTAN: I thought she could cry.

RORY: What?

PARIS: She's dead. You're dead, lie down.

TRISTAN: Yeah, but that's the beauty of it. No one would expect her to cry.

DEAN: I would.

TRISTAN: You know, funny you should say that…

RORY: I need to take five.

PARIS: You know what? Let's all take five. That way you can all cancel whatever plans you had tonight because we are staying here until we get this right.

Brad pulls out his cell phone

LOUISE: Who could you possibly be calling?

Rory walks over to Dean

DEAN: He is unbelievable.

RORY: Dean, I really need you to leave.

DEAN: What?

RORY: The play is tomorrow, and it's fifty percent of my grade, and you standing there staring at Tristan, it's like a challenge or something.

DEAN: Well, I don't like the way he's messing with you.

RORY: I don't like it either but we have to get through this scene and we can't get through the scene with you standing there. So, Dean, please.

DEAN: Fine. Call me later. leaves

TRISTAN: Now I noticed you didn't cry when you kissed him. I'm starting to feel a little insecure.

RORY: What is wrong with you?

TRISTAN: Whoa, I think I liked you better comatose.

RORY: I thought you weren't going to say anything.

TRISTAN: Did I say that?

RORY: You make it impossible for anyone to be nice to you. No wonder you had to join our group. Anyone who's actually suffered through the experience of going out with you would absolutely know better.

TRISTAN: Gee, I really wish we could continue your analysis on how pathetic I am. Unfortunately, I have to meet some friends.

PARIS: Where are you going? Where is he going? We're not finished! Hey, I'm the director here! Tristan!

BRAD: Tristan, come back! The only person who didn't yell for him to come back was the one he would've come back for
