"Ah."
"I wasn't sure what to do."
"We'll, why doesn't Luke come over and help?"
"I uh..."
"Mommy, you can't fix it."
She sighs. "I'd love help."
"Great, Luke will be there."
"As long as you wouldn't mind."
"He doesn't mind, do ya son?"
Luke starts to get embarrassed. "Whatever, sure."
"That's rude talk for he'd love to."
"Okay, great...should we go now or..."
"Sure. Now is good."Luke says.
"Great."
Lorelai takes Rorys hand and they all walk out of the store.
"Thanks for this."
"No problem."
"I just...I don't know much about these things. I just moved here too, so I don't know anyone."
"That's ok."
"I appreciate this."
"No problem."
They get to the house, Rory plays outside in the yard while Lorelai shows him where the dresser in question is.
"So do you usually do this?"
"Do what?"
"Come over to complete strangers houses and fix things for them."
"Nah, but my dad doesn't do really good with no."
"Wow."
"What?"
"Didn't think you knew how to speak in more than one sentence."
"I do."
"I can see that."
"You're annoying." Luke tells her dryly.
"Yes I am."
"Glad you can admit it."
"You about done?"
"Yup. All on track."
"Good."
"So, I'll be going."
"Yeah, uh thanks."
"No problem."
Luke leaves, saying goodbye to the little girl in the front yard. Once he gets back to the hardware store, his dad comes out of nowhere.
"How'd it go son?"
"Ah, geez, dad, don't do that." Luke complains, walking around him to the back of the store, his dad following.
"So how'd it go?"
"How did what go?"
"Talking to that girl."
"It was fine."
"You ask her out?"
"Dad..."He groans.
"Son, you need some friends, you're almost 22 years old, you haven't had a girlfriend since Rachel left."
"You're the last person I want to have this conversation with."
"I didn't say you had to date her."
"You asked if I asked her out."
"Eh, so what. That could mean anything...hang out, whatever."
"No."
"Why?"
"She is annoying."
"She is beautiful."
"She is okay."
"Lucas, she seems really nice."
"We don't even know her, you like her so much, you ask her out."
His dad shakes his head. "You are just as stubborn as me son."
"I am not stubborn."
"All I am sayin' is, would it kill ya to make a new friend?"
"Yeah, I think it would, it's none of your business who I'm friends with."
"Don't you have a party you're going to tonight?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Why don't you invite her to go with you?"
"Why the hell would I do that?"
"She's new in town, it's the right thing to do."
