8x03 - When Everything Comes To A Beginning

Previously on Gilmore Girls:

Logan: Okay, it was nice to see you again Paris, thanks.

Paris: remember Huntzberger, if you can’t get it all back at once, take small steps, it’ll come to you.

***************

“I know, I should have made more effort to do your acquaintance. However, you remind me so much myself at that age, that looking inside me, is almost as looking at or through your eyes. You’re stubborn witch is a quality. And I’m sure now, that you have chosen to come here to start you job. And you may succeed it, I’m sure. But there is many other ways to do some things, and perhaps I can help you.

I had in mind to give you a trust of 2,500,000 dollars, but now I’ve another idea, and I ad the same sum to it, and other details you lawyer will supply for you. I hope you will know how to use it. And I’m sure, if you’re as bold as I am, you won’t place money before your true life. Placing my life before the money has always been the secret of my success. People who place money before life lose both of them, for they don’t know how to live.

It’s time now for the old woman I am to leave! Have an happy life my dearest child!”

Emily: you don’t?

Richard: no I don’t, it is her money she can do what she likes with it.

Emily: even if that means throwing all that money down the drain?

Richard: yes, if that’s what she chooses to do with it, I will support her, and I think you should too.

Emily: what? No! If I had that much money, and I threw it down the drain I would be very angry at myself.

Richard: what does this have to do with you?

Emily: it doesn’t, I was ju…..

Richard: that’s right it doesn’t, it doesn’t involve me, it doesn’t involve you, it doesn’t involve Lorelai, it only involves her, that is her money, and we will stand by and let her do with it as she pleases.

Richard: for a second?

Emily: yes for a second.

Logan laughs.

Lily: umm….. Okay thank you.

The flight attendant goes back to her seat.

Lorelai: hey Luke!

Lorelai leans over the counter to give Luke a kiss.

Luke: hey what are you doing here?

Lorelai: oh well I was cleaning in Rory’s room and I just got so exhausted, I decided I needed some coffee!

Luke: you got to Miss Patty’s didn’t you?

Lorelai: no! I can’t believe you put so little faith in me!

Luke: Babette’s?

Lorelai: how did you know?

Luke: so, you didn’t even get to Rory’s room?

Lorelai: well no not really, but I pictured what it looked like in my mind, and it was very clean and elegant and had the Queen of England sitting on a thrown, and she was ordering everyone around to look for the most perfect coffee. And there was boxes and boxes of coffee around, and she disliked all of them. Now I remembered why I wanted coffee.

Luke: oh so this would be what Rory’s room looked like if she was the Queen of England? Well she’s not!

Lorelai: I know I guess I should still go look at it.

Luke: I would think so, I could go too.

Lorelai: it’s okay, you have the diner, and it should only take a minute.

Luke: well I have Creaser! CEASER?

Creaser: yes Luke?

Luke: just making sure you we’re still here.

Creaser: okay Luke.

Luke: and I have Zack!

Lorelai: no it’s okay, I will be back tonight to get food, with Rory!

Luke: okay.

Martha: mommy?

Sookie: yes honey?

Martha: will you make me Janey, Annie, and Pooh, some cookies?

Sookie: sure

Martha: can I help you?

Sookie: sure why not.

Martha: yeah! Can I go tell bubba we are making some cookies?

Sookie: yeah, but tell him to stay in bed and we will bring him some okay?

Martha: okay.

Sookie heads to the kitchen, she grabs eggs, butter, milk, flour, vanilla, chocolate chips, and sugar.

Martha: mommy Davey says he wants lots of cookies.

Sookie laughs

Martha: mommy can I crack the eggs?

Sookie: umm, I don’t really think so, how about you put some flour in it?

Martha: okay

Sookie: put 2 of those things of flour in the bowl okay?

Martha: got it!

****************

Lorelai: well Rory’s plane gets in 5 minutes from now, and I haven’t even left my house so, I should go.

Emily: okay but make sure you come this Friday night for dinner, now that you girls are back together again.

Lorelai: If you are so sure that we would come, why taking pain asking us to come?

Emily: Stop that nonsense! How can you be there if I don’t ask you!

Lorelai: That’s the point, you don’t ask, you figured it all your way, without asking…

Emily: You’re getting very tiring, see you at eight…

Lorelai: See you then!

 

Lorelai hangs up the phone and gets in the car.

Flight Attendant: Thank you for choosing North Bond please come again.

Rory gets up and grabs her bag and heads for the exit. She heads for security, and doesn’t see her mom, she looks around, and then looks at her phone, she assumes that her mom is running late. So she heads to a simple little cocktail bar. She takes a seat at the bar and looks around.

Julie: hi I’m Julie, and I will be your waitress.

Rory: okay hi, can I get gin martini?

Julie: sure, I will be right back with that.

Rory looks around and everyone in this bar looks a lot older than her, she looks at her hands then she goes for her purse she grabs her book and starts reading again. She hears a familiar laugh but doesn’t look around. The laugh seems to be getting closer.

Louise: Rory?

Madeline: Where?

Madeline: yeah, that is a lot of money.

Louise: and if your going to throw it down the drain let me help you.

Madeline: yeah by all means it’s more fun to spend money with a friend.

Rory giggles.

Rory: I actually don’t plan on throwing it down the drain, I might spend some on some silly stuff, but not all of it.

Madeline: well let me know when you do spend it on silly stuff.

Louise: yeah me too.

Madeline: well didn’t Paris?

Louise: yeah, if she didn’t why did she do all that stuff at Chilton?

Rory: she wouldn’t mind being a part time journalist, but she wants to be a doctor.

Louise: a doctor?

Madeline: Paris a doctor? That would be very scary.

Rory laughs! Louise’s phone rings.

Louise: hold on just a second.

Louise steps outside of the bar to answer it.

Madeline: so who’s the lucky boyfriend this time?

Rory: oh no boyfriend.

Madeline: what no boyfriend? Isn’t that like peanut butter with out the jelly?

Rory: no, it’s perfectly fine for me not to have a boyfriend.
