Rory: You are leaving for London. Who knows when we'll see each other again? Logan: I thought that was all set. Rory: What was all set? Logan: With Christmas, Thanksgiving, Guy Fawkes Day? Rory: Thats so far away! Logan: Rory. If you come with me, I won't get on the plane. I've paid for the apartment for the next year, so you don't have to worry about that. [Rory starts to cry] There's still a few weeks left on the car service, so use it whenever you want. I know that you wont, but just in case you need to. [he kisses her] I'll call you when I get in, okay? [he kisses her again, and she cries harder] What? Rory: I keep trying to think of fabulous things to say, but all I can think is "Say hi to William and Harry for me." Logan: I love you, Ace. Rory: Thats so much better than "Say hi to William and Harry for me." Logan: [he kisses her] I have to go. Rory: Logan! Where are you? Logan: Heathrow. I just landed. Rory: I miss you so much. Logan: I miss you too. I've only been here two and a half minutes, and I can already tell it sucks. Rory: It does suck. Ive heard that about London. You should just get on a plane and come home. You gave it a chance. Logan: Are you on campus? I tried you at the apartment, but I didnt get an answer. ] RORY: I thought the pitch was at breakfast. LOGAN: It is, but we can't walk in there unprepared. We got to go over our notes, talk strategy. It's a pre-breakfast breakfast. RORY: [rolls eyes] Work dork. LOGAN: Did you just call me a work dork? RORY: Admit it, just admit that you're a work dork. LOGAN: I'll admit that I’m a work dork, if you admit that you love that I'm a work dork. RORY: Done. RORY: No, no. I was just writing. I mean I was worked up. I was mad at my mom. Maybe that kind of got into the piece somehow. But, no, this was meant to be funny. I didn't think you would take it personally. I mean you're totally different from these people. LOGAN: No, I'm not, and you know what I don't want to be. RORY: Logan… LOGAN: What I'm a rich trust-fund kid. I'm not ashamed of it. Logan: i went to him i pitched him the idea, and he rejected it. I have to move fast i have to take this deal off the market before one of the big-dog companies sniff me out and try to outbid me. You still want to take this chess thing? Rory: yeah, we should. Well, you sound really excited. Logan: i am. It's exciting. The economies of scale are incredible. I just need to prove out the business model first. Rory: yeah and the barriers to switching for your current clientele will probably increase, too. Logan: yes exactly that's what my father doesn't understand. The opportunity cost of not doing it is that somebody else will, and the barriers to switching -- hey. Rory: what? Logan: are actually you using business-speak? Are we speaking businessese? Rory: i believe we are. Logan: color me impressed. LOGAN: I'm not used to all this hoopla. Birthdays aren't a very big deal in the Huntzberger family. RORY: Why not? LOGAN: Because birthdays aren't something you achieve. Why should you be lauded for something that just happens? RORY: Well didn't you have birthday parties when you were a kid? LOGAN: They were parties, sort of, but not with any kids I actually knew. RORY: That sounds like a blast. LOGAN: And I never had a regular birthday cake. I always wanted just a good old, plain yellow cake. You know with cake frosting but desserts were some fancy flambé thing with alcohol in them. RORY: Well, those years of birthday neglect will become a faint memory after the Gilmore treatment. PHILLIP: I'm afraid I've got some grim news. LOGAN: What, what’s going on? PHILLIP: I just got off the line with our lawyers. They say they just got a cease-and-desist letter from Prism Active, this tech company in Palo Alto, claming prior art on our media 10 platform. They're reviewing the patent now, but… LOGAN: What do you mean, "prior art"? PHILLIP: They're claiming patent infringement. LOGAN: But that’s what we bought. Our patent’s pending. We bought that technology. That’s the entire value of the company. PHILLIP: But they are saying it’s worthless. It was already owned. They were just waiting for someone with deep pockets to buy in before they sued. LOGAN: Oh, my god. PHILLIP: I'm so sorry. Happy birthday, man. LOGAN: When the whole deal fell apart... I knew I was in so much trouble, I just -- I totally lost it. I couldn't face anything. I had so much invested in it in every way that, when it all collapsed, it was like I fell into this hole I couldn't pull myself out of. And I also realized that my dad was right. He had every reason to be pissed at me. I mean, I would have fired me for what I did. So, I decided the only way to fix this is to not be my dad's employee anymore. RORY: What? LOGAN: I went to him, and I just -- I said -- I was calm, apologetic, no shouting, no threats. I just said I didn't want to be a pawn in whatever game he had in mind for me. RORY: Really. LOGAN: I am officially not working for the Huntzberger group anymore. RORY: Oh, my god. LOGAN: Yeah, and it feels really good. I mean, it felt great finally standing up to my dad. RORY: How did he take it? LOGAN: He tried to put up this cool, detached front, you know but I think I actually saw steam coming out of his ears. Basically, he told me to hit the road. RORY: And you took him literally. LOGAN: I just needed to see you. The thing is, even though he was mad, I swear I saw the slightest glimmer of pride in his eyes, you know just for a second. I mean, no one walks out on Mitchum Huntzberger. RORY: I'm proud of you, too. I almost wish I'd saved you a bite of cake. Hmm. LOGAN: I get that, and I respect that because I just spat out a whole place setting of sterling silver royal Danish. I left my dad’s company, I left that world because I have my own values. LORELAI: I understand that. LOGAN: I thought you would because that’s what you did. You left the world of privilege to do things your way. LORELAI: I guess I never thought of it that way. LOGAN: And you did it when you were younger and had a baby to take care of. It was really impressive. LORELAI: I don't need you to be impressed by me. I just need you to know it wasn't easy. LOGAN: I know that. LORELAI: I didn't get anything like "boom," you know? I worked hard for everything I got. LOGAN: I want to work. I'm ready to work. And I want to work hard. LOGAN: Well, I've been offered a position with an emerging internet company. LORELAI: Wow, that's great. LOGAN: Yeah it's pretty similar to what I was doing in New York, but actually they're willing to make me a full partner. I'll be getting in on the ground floor. LORELAI: That's exciting! LOGAN: It is. It's gonna be a lot of long hours and an incredible amount of work building the company, but I really feel this venture has a bright future. I mean, these are serious people. LORELAI: And you're a serious guy. Look, you don’t have to convince me. I voiced my concerns, and you told me your plans. We had pie. I'm cool. LOGAN: Thank you. I appreciate that. That means a lot to me. LORELAI: Oh. You're welcome. Logan: Look, I love Rory. She means the world to me, and I want her to come with me to California Lorelai: Oh... Logan: But not just as my girlfriend-- which is why I'm here. I'm here to ask your permission, your permission to ask Rory to marry me Logan: You amaze me, Rory Gilmore. Every day. Everything that you do. Everything that you are. This past year I realized that I don’t know a lot more than I thought I knew. If that makes sense. Sorry, I’m a little bit nervous! I didn’t think I would be. What I’m trying to say is that I don’t know a lot. But I know that I love you. And I want to be with you. Forever. (Logan pulls out a ring box) Rory Gilmore, will you marry me? LOGAN: Rory, I got the job out in silicon valley. RORY: What? You did? When?! LOGAN: They offered me the position about 45 minutes after the meeting, but I wanted to save the news until after I proposed. RORY: Wow. You've been thinking about this for a while. LOGAN: Yeah. Back when everything was up in the air business-wise, I realized as long as I had you, I'd be okay. You would love Palo Alto, Rory. We could go hiking in the Dish on weekends, biking at the Baylands. RORY: Wow. California sounds really athletic. LOGAN: Or coffee drinking on university avenue. RORY: That’s much easier to imagine. LOGAN: I went exploring a little, and there is this house that we could rent. It has a backyard with an avocado tree = THE END = __________________

well Logan has been on numerous yachts.. Though I'm not sure the yacht sinking story is a good one to tell either.
