Gilmore Girls

You should get married in Italy.

All the way from home, the same topic.

There's tons of stuff going on in the world.

- Like? - Balkans.

That was ages ago. Read a paper.

They make my hands black.

You should walk down the aisle to Frank Sinatra...

with a huge bouquet of something that smells really good.

Pot roast.

You should wear a long veil with your hair up.

I'll take any other subject in the world for $200, Alex.

Why don't you wanna think about this?

I haven't made my mind up about the "yes" or "no" part...

so I don't want to start fantasizing about dresses and flowers...

or doves and tulle until I do. So please change the subject.

The bridesmaids should pick their own dresses.

You know how in All in the Family...

Edith would be yapping about something...

and Archie would pretend to hang or shoot himself?

Something about this moment made me think of that.

- Fine, I'm done. I'm taking these to Lane. - Okay. Meet me at Luke's.

- Get me a paper, please. - But my hands.

- No. No more talking. - But, Mama, please.

Not for you to think about. All under control.

Give me a hint.

Children will know what their parents think they can handle.

- I'm sorry, was that the hint? - Back to work.

I came to bring you some of my mom's flowers.

Thanks.

- Are you okay? - No. I'm not okay.

What's wrong? Did she find your CD burner?

My parents are sending me to Korea for the summer to visit my cousins.

- So? - They won't tell me when I'm coming back.

What do you mean they won't tell you?

I mean, they bought me a one-way ticket.

- One-way. The plane goes there and stops. - Are you sure?

I called the airline to confirm it...

and my parents were in their room whispering all morning.

When my mother came out, she looked very happy. She was humming.

I swear, they're planning on sending me to Korea for the rest of my life.

It's like that Sally Field movie...

where the husband wouldn't let them return from Iran.

Except, I won't have to keep my head covered.

Calm down.

Are you listening? I am being shipped off to Korea.

I think you're freaking out a little prematurely.

- Really? - Yes, let's think about this.

Maybe there's some deal with the airline and that's why the ticket's one-way...

or maybe they haven't worked out the plans with your cousins yet...

or there's a weather consideration or a holiday you don't know about...

I'm really going to miss you.

Lane, come here, please.

I have to go.

You've been a good friend.

Hi, Bootsy.

So, apparently, they shoot a gland from a pig's head...

in Ivana Trump's rear end twice a month to keep her looking young.

Hope she's not kosher.

I don't know. It doesn't say here.

- Hey. - What? Nothing.

- You a Leo? - No.

Thank God. Those guys are screwed this week.

What're you reading?

God. Do not sneak up on a person like that.

"InStyle Weddings." Very interesting.

No, not very interesting.

- Get any ideas? - Yes, we should have cake more often.

Hey, Bootsy, I'll take this.

- No, I just... - That's $6.

- Lorelai, so? - Hi, Patty.

- InStyle Weddings. You said yes. - No, not yet.

- She said "yet." - I know.

I'm right here.

- He's a good man? - Yeah, he's a great man.

I just love this. Have you told Luke?

No, it just happened last night.

Patty, stop it. I'll tell him.

It's not that big a deal if he just finds out.

Whatever you say.

It just so happens we are on our way over there to have breakfast...

- and I'll tell Luke then. - Be gentle.

Patty, Luke and I are...

Just friends. Yes, I know.

- It's true. - Okay, let's go.

- It is. - I know.

What is with this place? Why will nobody believe me?

- They believe you. - No, they don't.

I promise they believe you.

- You are pacifying me. - Just a little.

- I don't like it. - I'll see if I can stop.

I can't wait for the movie theater to reopen.

Let's see, what looks good?

I'm so unbelievably hungry, I'll have to order breakfast and lunch. Crazy.

- Mom, go tell him. - I will.

- Now. - Why?

Because in five minutes, someone's about to be pushed through that window.

This is crazy.

Why is everybody making such a big deal about this?

Because everyone knows that Luke has a thing for you.

- Luke does not have a thing for me. - Tell him.

We can barely have a conversation without biting each other's heads off.

- Tell him. - Everything about me repulses him...

my coffee-drinking, my eating habits.

Remember when I called him Ranger Bob last week? He hated that.

Will you get me a muffin when you're up there?

Okay. God. Fine.

Hey.

Fresh coffee will be ready in a minute...

unless you want to just roll up a dollar bill and go nuts.

No, thanks, I can wait.

- What the hell's going on with them? - I don't know.

Crazy people. The whole town should be medicated...

and put in a rec room with Ping-Pong tables and hand puppets.

What?

Nothing. I...

I have something to tell you.

I have something to share with you, actually.

- Share with me? - Yes.

When exciting things happen in your life...

you wanna share them with people...

who you think will find them exciting...

- which I think you will. - What is it?

It's very...

Exciting, I've heard. I'm prepared to jump up and down if necessary.

Okay, then, here it is.

Max has asked me to marry him.

Yeah, I figured.

- You did? - It was obvious.

You two were getting kind of close, he was around a lot.

Then last night with that life-changing-thing comment...

I put two and two together and figured it out.

Oh.

- Congratulations, by the way. - Thank you.

- You set a date? - No, I haven't answered him yet.

- You're going to say yes. - How do you know?

You're making a big deal about telling me he proposed.

I don't think I'm making a big deal.

You wouldn't do that if you weren't going to say yes.

I'm sharing something with you. Sharing is not making a big deal.

Sharing is a nice gesture...

like when you're a kid and you have a Popsicle...

and you break it in two and offer half to another kid.

That's sharing. That is what I'm doing.

- You offered me half a Popsicle? - Yes.

- Okay, so, now you know. - Now I know.

I'll have two blueberry muffins and some coffee.

- Coming right up. - Okay.

I think it's good you're doing this.

You do? Good. Me, too.

Not that I'm definitely doing it, but if I do, then it'll be good.

Where are you going to live?

- What? - Here? Hartford?

Here. I don't know. We haven't talked about it.

Hartford's probably good, closer to Rory's school.

Yeah, I guess.

Of course, it is a little far from the Inn.

Yeah.

But who knows how long you'll work after you're married.

Excuse me?

But you probably already talked about that, right?

No, but I think he and my father have come to an agreement...

on how many goats I'm worth.

I'm just talking here. It's great, really.

- You're gonna have more kids? - Personal.

I mean, he wants kids, right?

- In the world? Yes. He wants kids. - You haven't talked about that either.

What we have and haven't discussed is none of your business.

Joint checking accounts? You know his last name?

I want my Popsicle back.

- Fine, it's your business. - Yes, it's my business.

Some people go their entire lives without having these conversations.

My parents didn't discuss a thing my entire childhood, worked fine for them.

But when my mom died, she hadn't told Dad where the coupon drawer was.

Took him 10 years to find it.

- Used a coffee can the whole time. - Okay.

I don't care what anyone says.

A coupon can is not as good as a coupon drawer.

How are those muffins coming?

But you know what? You might like a coupon can. You never know.

Here you go, two blueberry muffins.

Thank you.

And congratulations again.

- Now what's going on? - Kirk passed out.

- Here's your muffin. - Thanks.

How'd he take it?

Fine. He took it fine.

Is everything okay?

Yes, I'm just tied to the emergency brake.

How did you do that?

You know, with a flourish and a big ending.

Okay, I got it. Let's go.

- My coat. - It's pretty warm out for a coat.

It tends to cool off the minute I get in that house.

- Are you good? - I'm good.

- My keys. - Mom.

They're in the ignition. Okay, I got them. Let's go.

- What is wrong with you? - Nothing.

You got lost coming here.

- I took a wrong turn. - Six times.

My self-preservational instincts at work, ladies and gentlemen.
