Season 2

{Season 1 and 2 list of moments made by Erin}

Quotes

Lorelai: I think you’re a great, cool kid and the best friend a girl could have.
Rory: Right back at ya.

-------
Lorelai: I would like to propose a toast to the one thing in my life that is always good, always sweet, and without whom I would have no reason to get up in the morning. My pal Rory. Cheers!

-------
Lorelai: Rory is my life. She’s my pal. My everything. And I would never ever do anything that would hurt her.

-------
Rory: But my ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the dazzling woman from whom I received my name and my life's blood, Lorelai Gilmore. My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her. Thank you Mom, you are my guidepost for everything.

(list of quotes above made by the wonderful people in the Lorelai and Rory thread on the Alexis Bledel board)

-------
Lorelai: Made me imagine, you know, what its going to be like after she leaves. It's going to be hard to be without her.

-------
Rory: When's soon?
Lorelai: When the big hand hits the "S" and the little hand hits the "OON."

-------
Rory: I don't get it.
Lorelai: What?
Rory: How can you be so okay with everything? Ever since I've told you that I'm leaving, you're just all busy with shopping and packing, and you seem fine with it.
Lorelai: [Sighs] It's too soon.
Rory: What?
Lorelai: If I stop to think about you leaving now, I'm gonna fall apart. We still have time left. It's too soon.

-------
Rory: To my mom, who is just everything to me and everything I am and who I'm gonna miss so much.

-------
Rory: Mom…You've given me everything I need.
Lorelai: [Sighs] Okay.

Season 1 moments:



CUT TO FRONT OF CHILTON
[Lorelai is drinking coffee by the Jeep as she waits for Rory. Rory emerges from the school]
LORELAI: Mm. Hey, you.
[Rory walks over, drops her backpack and hugs Lorelai]
LORELAI: Oh.
RORY: So, this whole plaid-skirt thing. . .my idea?
LORELAI: My day sucked, too.
RORY: Promise?
LORELAI: Swear on my mother's life. [starts to pull back]
RORY: Not yet.
LORELAI: Ooh, still hugging, still hugging. [they pull apart] So, I brought us some coffee.



[Pan to later that night, Rory goes into the living room and finds Lorelai asleep on the couch. She covers her with a blanket and goes back to the kitchen. Later that night, Lorelai wakes up and goes into the kitchen to find Rory asleep at the table. She sits down and puts the blanket around Rory as well and falls asleep as well.]
[Pan to morning]
RORY: No! Oh no! [Rory runs into her room]
LORELAI: Oh jeez [lifting her head] Such a bad sleeping idea.
RORY: I’m late!
LORELAI: What?
RORY: I’m late, I’m late. I woke up late!
LORELAI: Rory calm down.
RORY: I can’t calm down! I missed my bus! Get up.
LORELAI: Sweetie, mommy can’t get up right now. Mommy’s been sleeping at a right angle all night.



(Cut to Rory lying on the bed in Lorelai's old room.)
LORELAI: Hey. Can I come in?
RORY: It's your room.
LORELAI: How are you doing?
RORY: I'm sorry I snapped at Grandma.
LORELAI: Yeah, hugh? That was a pretty 'Freaky Friday' moment we had back there.
RORY: She just went ahead and invited all these kids from Chilton.
LORELAI: You're kidding. I thought she checked on that with you.
RORY: She didn't ask me or tell me.
LORELAI: Oh, man, I'm so sorry.



RORY: Mom?
LORELAI: Hmm?
RORY: I know this is lame and totally after the fact but --
LORELAI: Start from the beginning and you leave anything out you die! Where were you?
RORY: OK, I was in the aisle where the ant spray is.
LORELAI: That's a good aisle.
RORY: I know, that's what Lane said too. But anyway, so he was working and I go into the store and I sort of walked around and was pretending to shop..





RORY: What happened to all that stuff you said to Grandma What happened to trusting me? Where did all that go?
LORELAI: I think it's back on Patty's yoga mats.
RORY: This is crap! You know I didn't do anything. You know this is an accident. You're just mad because I screwed up and I did it in front of Grandma and she nailed you for it. Well I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I screwed up and I'm sorry that you got yelled at, but I didn't do anything and you know it!
(Rory goes into her room and slams the door. Lorelai sits at the kitchen table and cries.)



(Cut to Gilmore house)
(Rory comes home)
RORY: Mom! Mom, I'm home!
(Goes upstairs)
RORY: Mom?
(Finds Lorelai laying on her bed crying. Rory strokes her hair in comfort and lays down with her and hugs her.)



(Rory walks in. Lorelai hangs up the phone.)
LORELAI: Rory?
RORY: We just broke up.
(Lorelai walks to Rory and hugs her.)



CUT TO GILMORE HOUSE
[Lorelai walks in with a small smile on her face to find Rory sitting on the couch crying eating out of a large bucket of ice cream.]
RORY: I’m ready to wallow now.
LORELAI: Oh. [Sits on the couch next to her and kisses Rory. She puts a pillow on her lap and Rory lays down and sobs. Lorelai picks up the phone and dials] Hey Joe it’s Lorelai. I need a pizza with everything ok? Thanks.



(Rory is lying on the bed. Lorelai walks through the door.)
LORELAI: Hey.
RORY: Mom!
LORELAI: Okay, so I thought when you said, 'I'll see you at home,' you meant our home. My mistake.
(Rory gets off the bed and walks over to hug Lorelai.)
RORY: I'm so sorry.
LORELAI: Its okay.
RORY: All those things..
LORELAI: I know.
RORY: And then the...
LORELAI: Its no big deal
RORY: I'm just so..
LORELAI: I know, I know, I know. So last time I saw you you were headed home, you wanna fill in the blanks?
RORY: I don't know. I just snapped and I got sick of everything. I wanted to go anywhere.
LORELAI: So you picked hell?
RORY: It was the first place that came to mind.
LORELAI: I respect that.



CUT TO OUTSIDE THE DINER

(Lorelai is outside in front of the diner. She sees Rory down the street. They smile and run towards each other. They talk at the same time.)
LORELAI/RORY: You first! (They laugh) You first!
(Pan back to an overhead shot of the gazebo as they jump up and down excitedly in the street.)

Season 2 moments:



CUT TO RORY'S BEDROOM
[Rory is sleeping. Lorelai walks in and sits on her bed.]
LORELAI: Hey.
RORY: What? What is it?
LORELAI: Oh nothing. Whatcha doing?
RORY: Taking back Poland.
LORELAI: Oh, good luck with that.
RORY: Mom.
LORELAI: I have a boy in my room.
RORY: So?
LORELAI: So I have a boy in my room.
RORY: It's Max.
LORELAI: I know.
RORY: You like Max.
LORELAI: No, uhh, yes, I do, but it's weird. We've never had a man in the house like this up there.



RORY: We can't take a road trip. You're getting married this weekend.
LORELAI: Do you have my blue swimsuit?
RORY: What about Max?
LORELAI: Sunscreen, we need sunscreen.
RORY: Mom, stop.
LORELAI: What?
RORY: Are you and Max getting married?
LORELAI: No.
RORY: Why?
[Lorelai starts crying]
LORELAI: Because I didn't want to try on my wedding dress every night.



RORY: Hey, I found a CD under the front seat of our car. Did you lose one?
LORELAI: Not that I know of, but I'm kind of sloppy with them.
RORY: So, you didn't hide it?
LORELAI: Why would I hide a CD?
RORY: I don't know. Bay City Rollers?
LORELAI: It's not a Bay City Rollers CD.
RORY: How do you know?
LORELAI: Because I know what's not hidden under that seat.
RORY: Ha! Because you know that Barry Manilow is under that seat.
LORELAI: Ugh.
LUKE: Where's Barry Manilow?
RORY: Under Mom's seat.
LORELAI: All right, I confess, I was hiding Barry Manilow.
RORY: You confess!
LORELAI: But he was very big when I was very small and it's the live version where he does a medley of all the commercial jingles he's written.
RORY: Don't worry. Everyone's allowed a guilty pleasure now and again.



CUT TO LORELAI'S HOUSE
[Lorelai and Rory walk through the front door.]

RORY: Mom, stop it. Talk to me. [Lorelai ignores her and goes upstairs] It's been two hours since you've even looked in my direction.
CUT TO LORELAI'S BEDROOM
[Lorelai walks in and starts cleaning off her bed. Rory walks in a few seconds later]
RORY: Okay, I get it, you're mad.
LORELAI: Rory, I do not want to talk about this right now.
ORY: You were just being stubborn.
LORELAI: Go to bed.
RORY: Well you didn't want to ask for help, so I did.
LORELAI: Hey, do you remember the conversation we had before we left this house tonight?
RORY: Yes, but -.
LORELAI: I told you going to my parents was not an option.
RORY: I know, but -.
LORELAI: In fact, I told you several times that asking my parents was not an option. Now yes, I might have made a few quips to lighten the subject matter, but I still think I made my point pretty damn clear.
RORY: Fine, but we have a real problem here.
LORELAI: Oh, you think I don't know that? You think I sit around all day swapping witticisms with Robert Benchley at the Algonquin? No! I am thinking and worrying and using the computer and I hate using the computer!
RORY: Which is exactly why I brought this up.
LORELAI: You had no right to bring it up!
RORY: Why?
LORELAI: Because I told you not to, that's why!
RORY: But -.
LORELAI: No, there are no buts! There will be no buts here! There's 'I'm sorry Mom', there's 'I screwed up Mom', there's 'I'll never do it again Mom', but there are no buts!
RORY: But -.
LORELAI: Out!
RORY: Mom!
LORELAI: Go to bed. We're done.



[Lorelai walks into the room – a doctor is wrapping Rory’s arm]
LORELAI: Rory, good. Are you okay?
RORY: I’m fine.
LORELAI: Oh.
RORY: Please tell her that I’m fine.
DOCTOR: She’s fine.
LORELAI: Well, then, what’s with the wrapping?
DOCTOR: Well - .
LORELAI: If she’s fine, there’d be no wrapping. There’s no wrapping if she’s fine.
DOCTOR: Her arm hit the dashboard. She sustained a minor hairline fracture to her wrist.
LORELAI: So she broke her wrist?
RORY: No, it’s just a fracture.
LORELAI: Honey, let George Clooney talk here, okay?
DOCTOR: It’s a tiny fracture, absolutely nothing serious. I’m gonna put a cast on it. She’ll wear it for a couple weeks, that’s it.
LORELAI: A cast?
RORY: It barely hurts, I swear.
LORELAI: And that’s it – just the wrist, everything else is fine?
DOCTOR: She seems perfectly healthy.
LORELAI: She seems healthy? Did you check everything out?
DOCTOR: Well, we checked almost everything that could’ve been affected, yes.
LORELAI: Almost everything?
DOCTOR: Miss Gilmore, I assure you, we were very thorough.
LORELAI: I’m sure you were, I just would like some extra thorough. Uh, anything that could’ve possibly, in any scenario, affected this body, I want it checked out.
DOCTOR: I’ll run a few more x-rays if that’ll make you feel better.
LORELAI: It will, thank you.
DOCTOR: And then we’ll put the cast on her, so it’s gonna be a little while before she’s out of here.
LORELAI: I can wait.
DOCTOR: Okay. Rory, I’ll be right back. You sit still for a minute, okay?
RORY: Okay.



CUT TO LORELAI’S HOUSE
[Rory is waiting out front as Lorelai pulls into the driveway.]
RORY: I'm so, so sorry.
LORELAI: You're okay, right?
RORY: Yes.
LORELAI: Everything's working? Your wrist is okay, nothing new is broken?
RORY: I'm fine.
LORELAI: Anyone you know, like Lane or someone, suddenly get sick today or break an arm themselves or get in a car wreck?
RORY: No.
LORELAI: Okay, good. Then I can get past worry and move onto other things.
RORY: I know you're hurt.
LORELAI: Yeah, you bet I'm hurt. Rory, I really wanted you there today, more than anything. You're why I did this stupid thing in the first place.
RORY: I know.
LORELAI: It was a once in a lifetime thing. You should've been there. My best friend should've been there. Whatever it was that kept you, you should've gotten out of it, at least this once. Was it school?
RORY: It wasn't school.
LORELAI: Was it Paris?
RORY: It wasn't Paris.
LORELAI: Well, what was it?
RORY: It was so stupid.
LORELAI: Well, Rory, where were you? What happened?
RORY: I cut school!
LORELAI: You what?
RORY: I cut school and I got on a bus and I don't even know why I did it. I. . .I have no excuse. I was just standing outside of Chilton, and I don't know, I must have had a stroke or something. What does a stroke feel like?
LORELAI: I don't know. Not good, probably.
RORY: And I left school and I got on a bus and I went to New York. And that's it! I'm grounded for six months, or seven, and no TV, no stereo, no reading. In fact, take all of my books away from me and lock them up.
LORELAI: Hold on here. You went to New York?
RORY: And no magazines, either. And I'm going to do all of the housework. Laundry, dishes. . . in fact, we're going to start eating at home so that we have dishes.
LORELAI: Rory.
RORY: What?
LORELAI: Stop. Why did you go to New York?
RORY: To see Jess.
LORELAI: Boy, do you know how to bury the lead.
RORY: I don't know what happened.
LORELAI: You went to New York to see Jess.
RORY: It was the stroke! It made me someone else, and after his phone call last night -
LORELAI: That was him?
RORY: It did something to me, I don't know what. In fact, you should take the phone away from me, too. That's right, add it to the list. No books, no music, no phone.
LORELAI: Okay, Rory. . .
RORY: I'm a horrible person.
LORELAI: You're not a horrible person.
RORY: I am sick, I'm ill, I'm cracked. This is not who I am. If I were to write this down in my diary and I would read it, I would be like, Who is this freak? This isn't me. This isn't my diary. I wouldn't do this. I wouldn't skip school when I have finals coming up to go see a guy that isn't even my guy and end up missing my mother's graduation, which I wanted to be at so badly. That's someone else. That's someone flighty and stupid and dumb and girly. And, I mean, I missed your graduation, which is the worst thing I could have possibly done. I mean, I hurt you and I had to spend hours on a stinky bus next to a guy that was spitting into a can, just thinking about all of the minutes that were going by that I wasn't at your graduation and they were hurting you, and they should have been hurting you because it was so selfish of this person who wasn't me to do what she did.
