[Laura and Jess walk into Luke's apartment to talk, but end up interrupting Liz, T.J., and Luke.

Jess: Laura what's wro…

Liz: Oh my God. (to laura) You actually got him here.

Jess: That's why you wanted to talk to me.

Laura: NO.

Liz: It doesn't matter why you're here. (To T.J) Baby, this is my kid. This is Jess and Jess's fiancée Laura. (to Jess and Laura) Jess, this is T.J.

T.J.: Guess what it stands for.

Jess: No.

Laura: Yeah. I'll pass.

Liz: Oh, you'll stay for dinner.

Jess: I've gotta go check on my car.

T.J.: Come on, we're making a ton of food. There's beer.

Luke: My beer.

Jess: I'm not hungry.

Liz: Oh please, stay for a little while. I think you guys are really gonna get along great.

[Jess sits down reluctantly and Laura pulls up a chair between Jess and Luke.

Liz: Oh, T.J. is really enjoying Stars Hollow. Aren't you, baby?

T.J.: Oh yeah, this place is great. It reminds me of New York.

Jess: How?

T.J.: You know.

Luke: Neither one is in space.

T.J.: No, that's not it.

Luke: Of course not.

T.J.: There's an energy, right?

Liz: There is. I feel it. A very similar energy. I have to know, Jess. How'd you propose?

Jess: Well I…We (smiles) had been dating for months…

Laura: I actually met him at Wal-Mart and I actually asked him what aisle pencils were on.

Jess: I knew I had to marry her. I thought I should. It's really out of character but…

Liz: Aww

Jess: So. When we went on a date she was beautiful and I (held her hand under that table) gave her one of those necklace boxes and inside was a pencil inscribed, "I love you. Marry Me Laura".

Liz: Wow.

Laura: Have you seen much of Stars Hollow T.J.?

T.J.: Liz showed me your old house and your school. Liked the picture of you in the shorts.

Liz: My brother was very big in athletics in his day. And the ladies loved him. Ask Carrie. They went out.

Laura: You went out with Carrie?

Luke: Crazy Carrie and I did not go out.

Liz: They just made out.

Luke: We did not make out. We did not go out. We did nothing that involved the word out.

T.J.: I think he's still hung up on her.

Luke: A lightening bolt, please.

Jess: I gotta go.

Liz: Oh, okay, but come back after you've checked your car. We'll save you some food. You look good. Handsome. Come back, okay?

Jess: Okay.

T.J.: Yeah, if you do, I'll draw your portrait on my Etch-A-Sketch.

Luke: Hey, can't miss that.

Jess: We'll see.

Luke: Hey, Jess wait a sec.

[Luke and Jess go out in the hall. Liz waves goodbye, but Laura stays to talk a bit

Liz: Wow. You guys have a wedding date?

Laura: Not yet.

Liz: So how do you make money?

Laura: I work for a magazine as a photographer.

Liz: Wow.

Laura: So how long have you been dating?

Liz: Just a little while

[Luke walks in dumbfounded and slams the door

Liz: What's wrong?

Luke: Nothing

Laura: I know that face that's the Jess did something wrong face.

Luke: Nothing lets just eat.

GYPSY'S GARAGE

[Laura crosses the street

Jess: You sure I can't help you? Can I hand you something? You know, it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to run. (To Laura) Hi, where have you've been?

Laura: Talking to Liz.

Gypsy: Just curious--have you noticed since you started standing there, there's been a lot less of the clinking sounds? And the clinking sounds are the sounds tools make when they fix things.

Jess: You've been fixing this car for hours.

Gypsy: And I'm not done, so, back off.

Laura: What did you do to Luke?

Jess: What?

Laura: You said something to Luke that hurt him I saw it in his face.

[Lorelai crosses the street.

Lorelai: Jess!

Gypsy: Hey, she sounds mad.

Lorelai: You've been here less than twenty-four hours and already I wanna kill you.

Jess: What did I do to you?

Lorelai: All the crap you said to Luke--

Jess: What crap?

Lorelai: A man who has done nothing but support you and try to help you.

Jess: I don't know what you're talking about.

Lorelai: You do know what I'm talking about. Don't act stupid. Why would you do that? What an incredibly insensitive, mean-spirited--

Jess: Oh, drop it. This has nothing to do with Luke. This is about Rory.

Lorelai: This is not about Rory. This is about Luke. Don't you have an ounce of sensitivity in that thick head of yours or are you so mad at the entire world that you don't care who you hurt?

Jess: And I suppose we're still not talking about Rory?

Lorelai: Wow, second "Rory" in ten seconds. You sure have Rory on the brain. I wonder why that is.

Laura: Me, too.

Lorelai: This must be Laura

Laura: So I am famous.

Jess: You started this!

Lorelai: Is that why you came back here? Are you still hung up on her Jess ? Is that why you came back?

Jess: No.

Laura: Hope not.

Lorelai: Good. Because she is over you. She has moved on and she is very happy.

Laura: Lorelai right? Where's Luke?

Lorelai: My house

Laura: Okay tell him I'll talk to him later. I think I can help. As for you Lorelai, back off! I don't know what Jess said to Luke but that is between them stay out of it. [to Gypsy Please hurry up so I can get the hell out of here.

Lorelai: I second that.

[Lorelai walks off

Laura: I think I'm going to rest in the apartment
