5.05 We Got Us a Pippi Virgin
airdate: 10/19/04

From TV Guide, Hits & Misses for next Tuesday (review by Matt Roush

This charmingly eccentric comedy-drama is back in top form, with an episode built around an awkward double date for Lorelai and Luke, and Rory and Dean (whose wife kicked him out after he strayed with Rory in last season's finale). There are jokes about panic rooms and bathtub gin, a sing-along to the "Pippi Longstocking" theme, the discovery of a Petunia Pig plate, and a line of dialogue some of us have been waiting years to hear: "You want to de-Mensa that reference?" You won't find a more blissfully entertaining hour.

From the WB

When Lorelai tries to smooth over bad feelings for Dean by organizing a double date for she and Luke and Rory and Dean, Luke loses his cool and the night ends in disaster.


GILMORE GIRLS - "We Got Us a Pippi Virgin"

THE GILMORE GIRLS' DOUBLE-DATE -- Feeling bad that her relationship with Dean (Jared Padalecki) has become awkward, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) suggests that she and Luke (Scott Patterson) double-date with Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Dean, but the evening turns ugly when Luke is unable to disguise the fact that he thinks Dean isn't good enough for Rory. Meanwhile, Emily (Kelly Bishop) and Richard (Edward Herrmann) are lonely and a little lost without one another, but neither can take the first step toward reconciliation. Melissa McCarthy, Keiko Agena and Sean Gunn also star.

Daniel Palladino wrote the episode directed by Stephen Clancy.

There is a funny scene regarding Lorelai getting free food at Luke's now and the notion of tipping.

After reviewing the books, Ann says let's talk. And remarks to Lorelai and everyone that she sees a lot of growth this month. That after the initial drop off which they all expected after the Opening, everything has settled and that they are doing a 70-75% occupancy which is pretty good.

Lorelai remarks that Leafing season is coming up and that they are booked solid for the last three weeks in October.

Ann remarks that that is good positive news but there are a couple of things that can help. Lorelai has a witty comeback that "So, we need help?"

Ann trying to remain somewhat serious mentioned that during the first year of building a business there is not a lot of profit at the moment and there are some things to lighten the financial load. Lorelai says "That sound bad." Ann continues with look, you need to get some of these burdens off of you. For example, lunch.

Ana and Sookie have a give take exchange about why Lunch needs to be dropped. The primary reason is that they have a full staff and virtually no customers for lunch. The decision is made to drop lunch until the occupancy rate at the Inn is a little higher

Sookie believes that Ann hates her and the is a bit of banter back an forth.

Michel goes into one of his monologues about how he is the first one the customers see. How he represents the face of the Inn.

Len explains the files and bit rates and size of files and quality.

Rory zones out not understanding it at all.

Rory asks Len about buying CD’s and Len avoids the issue.

Rory looses her concentration and says she need to get some coffee and that she'll be back in a minute.

Rory leaves and the Side and the scene ends.

Casting Note: This season there will be a new female character introduced that will hopefully recur as a wealthy Yale student who runs with a daring, privledged (sic) crowd.

This character first appears in Episode six - Drunk and wearing an evening gown ansd a gorilla mask. Since she has very little to say we're asking you to read the role of "LIBBY" from Season 2 - Presenting Lorelai Gilmore.

Yale Dorm/Bathroom - Night (Night 4) - Scene 14 -
Stage description - Rory come into an empty bathroom. She walks over to the sink and looks in the mirror. She sighs. This story sucks and she knows it. She runs water and splashed a little on her face. She walks over to the opposite wall and gets a paper towel. As she's standing there, debating whether or not it's better to try and drown herself in the sink rather than go back in that room with Len, the door swings open. A tipsy GIRL in an elegant ball gown and a black plastic gorilla mask enters, not noticing Rory. The GIRL goes over to the mirror. She steadies herself, lifts off her mask, takes a lipstick out of a small purse and reapplies it. She turns around finally sees Rory staring at her.

The GIRL tells Rory that she didn’t see her there

Stage Direction - Gorilla Girl giggles and balances herself. She puts the lipstick back in her purse and turns to Rory. She smiles and puts her finger to her lips.

In typical drunk fashion the GIRL tells Rory to be quiet.

Stage Direction - The Girl giggles and stumbles out the door. Rory stares after her a beat, extremely curious. She follows her out.

Yale campus - Continuous - Night (Night 4) - Scene 15 -
Stage Direction - Rory leaves the bathroom and sees Gorilla Girls exiting the building. She follows her, passing Len's door.

Len tells her that they are doing fine continuing to download stuff.

Rory tells him that she'll be right back

Stage Direction - She continues on.

Yale campus - Continuous - Night (Night 4) - Scene 16 -
Stage Direction - Rory exits the building and sees the GIRL approaching an expensive, brand new-looking black SUV with tinted windows. She stumbles to the door and taps loudly on the window, the side door opens. The GIRL swings arms dramatically.

The GIRL loudly speaks a Latin phrase that sounds like In Omnia Paratus

Stage Direction - A guy inside the SUV "Shhh's" her and pulls her inside. The door closes and the car takes off. A very intrigued Rory watches.

Ed. Note - In Omnia Paratus roughly translates into "For the present all is prepared." Could this be a password?

The next continues with a scene snippet on the bottom part of the scene 16 page.

Exterior - Doose's Market - Night (Night 4) - Scene 17 -
Stage Direction - Lorelai exits Doose's market holding a container of nachos in one hand, a giant Slurpee in the other and she's sporting a brand new cowboy hat. She happily eats, slurps, and walks down the street. Her cell phone rings.

Lorelai does her bumbling bit as she tries to fine a way to balance things

Stage Direction - Lorelai takes one last bite as she looks around for something to balance her food on. The phone keeps ringing.

Lorelai speaking to inanimate objects tells the phone that she knows its ringing.

The script page ends at that point. We have no more for Scene 17

The next Side has a significant part of the dialog blacked out. Given how the scene sequence is constructed, the dialog is between Lorelai and Rory only. The Side starts with Scene 21 already in progress.

Assumption - because of the following Stage Direction - the scene is assumed to be the Exterior of the Gilmore mansion at the Door. Based on the succeeding scene description - This is Night (Night 5)

Exterior - Gilmore Mansion at the Door - Night (Night 5) - Scene 21 in progress -
Stage Direction - She hides behind Rory as the MAID answers the door

Ed. Note - Because of what follows - the "she" in the Stage Direction is Lorelai

MAID (Slightly confused at the sight of them) greets them at the door

Stage Direction - The Maid stands there looking at them.

Lorelai goes into one her pop-culture modes and tells the maid that they are here to see Halston and Liza

Stage Direction - No reaction from the Maid

Lorelai now tries being straight and tell the Maid the she is the daughter and Rory is the granddaughter.

The Maid apologizes and lets them in.

Interior - Gilmore House - Continuous - Night (Night 5) - Scene 22 -
Stage Direction - The Maid takes their coats as Lorelai and Rory cross into the living room

Rory and Lorelai have a fluffy bantering dialog about the maid acting weird and how Lorelai thinks it is because the maid knows that she is wearing the same outfit as last week.

The maid renters the room and ask them of they would like something to drink.

Both Lorelai and Rory ask for something – Martini and a coke.

At this point Lorelai says that maybe they ought to wait until her Mother comes down. Lorelai asks the Maid if her Mother is coming down soon and the Maid responds No.

Lorelai goes back into babbling mode talking about wearing the same outfit as she did last week and that is why her Mother is coming down.

The Maid tells them Mrs. Gilmore isn't here.

Rory ask where is she.

The Maid tells them that She's at a dinner for the Children's Hospital.

Lorelai asks if she is going to be here at all tonight and the maid tells her No.

Lorelai then says that maybe they should have dinner with her Dad in the Pool House.

The Maid looks a bit puzzled and tells them that Mr. Gilmore is out of town until Tuesday.

Lorelai tells Rory that that they have become afterthoughts.

The Maid offers to make them something for diner.

Rory remarks that with everyone gone, maybe she'll just head back to school. She says that she has a lot to do for the paper.

There is a bunch of blacked out dialog here that is obvious conversation between Lorelai and Rory.

It picks back up with Lorelai asking the Maid for a phone book.

Lorelai kicks off her shoes and says let’s get crazy

Rory kicks off her shoes and curls up on the couch.

On the Gilmore set: Lauren Graham and guest star Norman Mailer, who will appear with his son Stephen in an episode this fall. WB

Television
Mailer's 'Gilmore Girls' guest shot is a family affair

Gilmore Girls, long considered a smart TV show, will add some literary cachet with one of this fall's guest stars: Norman Mailer.

Though it gave Mailer, who plays himself, the chance to work with his son, actor Stephen Mailer, he was reluctant to take his first TV series role. "I felt better when I saw a couple of runs of the show," he says. "It had taste. It was witty and well put together. It had a certain élan that I liked."

In the episode, likely to be broadcast in a month or so, Stephen Mailer plays a reporter interviewing the acclaimed writer at the inn run by Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Sookie (Melissa McCarthy).

"To my amazement, I had a fine time," says the author. He improvised dialogue — much to the delight of executive producer Amy Sherman-Palladino. "It was completely intimidating," she says. "But it was one of those moments where you say, 'This is why you do this.' "

Mailer noted a coincidence between the show and one of his books. The Executioner's Song focuses on condemned killer Gary Gilmore: "The Gilmore Girls obviously are not related to Gary Gilmore."

Thoughs on 5.04 - Tippecanoe and Taylor Too

I have done this for every episode this season. I don't know that I have added to anyone's understanding, but I have found that it has helped me crystalized my thoughts about the story.

This week I have only a few things to mention because we have been blessed by two Friends who have done a far better job that I could in analyzing the characters and the contribution to the storyline.

The first is, netherfield. I have never exchanged PM's or emails with this writer. But I trust her implicitly. Of all of the Fan Fiction that I have ever read, this writer knows Lorelai and Luke by far the best. She has several posts on this thread and the last. I suggest when you find a post of hers, click on search, and go back and read them. They are insightful, honest, and If I didn't know better, I believe that netherfiled knows Luke and Lorelai and how they are progressing better than AS-P. I, also, unabashedly, recommend her continuing story More. The story adds to each episode about the parts that we missed. You can find it on the FanFiction.Net listing. In her most recent posts netherfield has described how Luke and Lorelai are learning from each other and what really is important in this relationship. She characterized it, in short, as how two friends become lovers, or perhaps more than lovers. How they learn to do that.

The other new Friend is stillshimpy. I first met her over on TWoP before I annoyed the management over there. I have always found her analyses, thorough, complete and concise. She knows the writing styles of the major writers and helped interpret the storyline in that context. In the prior thread she provided and in-depth comparison of Danny and Amy. She is a recent member to FF and I urge you to welcome her and consider what she writes.

As to the story: I have now found the thing that is most annoying at the moment is all the Off-Screen things we are either supposed to infer or accept.

An example: A the end of 5.03 WITS, Rory goes to Dean's parents house. Presumably to talk with Dean to determine the answerMarty's question as to Whether She Has A boyfriend, Or Not. In all of 5.04, there is no mention made of that visit or any discussion or even if they took the opportunity to "Bump Tummies" in a bout of make-up sex. In the 5.04 scene where Rory goes to Dean's bedroom - She has not been there before. That was evident in the Stage Direction in the Sides and how it was played in the episode.

In the Bedroom, Dean makes reference to the College Student and the Divorcé. Rory makes the comment about it being a good plot for an Adult movie. I will let that line pass and allow others to comment.

But, when the Hell did Dean get divorced? And is he really? Bill Prady and AS-P did not do us any favors by leaving this unanswered and at best ambiguous. I am aware that there are Friends out there that consider being separated and not divorced, as Dean maybe is, license to carry on as if he was not married. I am NOT one of those.

Now my rant: In this I know I speak the thoughts of a fair number of Friends.

I am concerned that at or near the end of the Rory -Dean storyline - there will be no consequences evident with the Rory character. At the moment, Rory appears to be in the flush of learning about the joys of sex. It certainly was evident in this episode. She even drove to Stars Hollow to get with Dean to have sex. Not Talk, not just be with the one you love, but to have sex. Candidly, at 19 and recently being -de-virginized, it is to be expected. At 19, and a guy, I can remember not have any blood above my neck. It having taken semi-permanent residence in another part of my body. The thought process was also obviously affected.

Rory is going through this to some degree. Dean, on the other hand, has his first love and a steady Hump!Buddy.

Back on point - Rory does not appear to know or realize the hurt she has caused people. Even though it was part of a Dean yelling thing - It seems evident that he at least knows there are other sensitivities out there; Lindsay, his mother, his father - who hasn't come out of the basement. That is probably where Mr. Kim is also.

I could accept this storyline and maybe even find word of praise for it - IF, when as it reaches for conclusion - we see a real understanding on the part of the Rory character of remorse, grief, and a lingering hesitation in other relationships with men for what she contributed to in her Adultery, Affair, and subsequent relationship with Dean.

This storyline has drawn us in and made us examine it and how we view those things in our own life. In doing so, perhaps we have learned some things about ourselves and how we think about them. I was surprised at my reactions to some of those things that Rory did. Primarily because I have never been required to examine them.

So, if we do not have the kind of resolution that I described previously - then - the authors drew me into their story, made me care about the characters - and then dumped my sorry ass when I wasn't looking. It will cheapen the characters, and show a lack, I was going to say professionalism but, of caring about the story the way we do or have been asked to do.

Remember, AS-P asked us Invest in them, care for them, root for them She was primarily talking about Lorelai and Luke. But, the Story is about all of them - Lorelai, Rory, Luke - All of Them - even Kirk and Taylor.

Lastly - about the cheesecake - let me recall for all of you the rampant speculation that went on about what Emily saw outside her window that amazed her. When all the time - It was Richard heading out to some bar for late night action.

I get the chuckles thinking about how spiced was sitting back just a laughing and a scratching as we all did that dance about what Emily saw.

Now if she was merciful, she would give a clue about how the Luke - Rory - Dean - plays out. But, I show my prejudice for that storyline.

Until after 5.05

Thanks for the new thread Kitty! Next week's episode sounds great

motylik20

stillshimpy awesome insight you've got there *nods* really
I support everything you've said so far *grins*

btw doesn't gg have a lot of buffy writers? I just saw two episodes from the fourths season and both were either produced or written by Jane Espenson...

I agree that the Palladinos have respect of marriages. And their showing how hard it is to make one work. What all the aspects are that you have to concider before getting married.

I'm soo looking forward to next week. Can't wait. I really want to see how the date goes. This will be a crucial point for most of the main relationships.

BTW I agree with netherfield. The reality is much better than the dream. And the whole idea of showing us the ideal scenario and then the difference between ideal and real is awesome. ^^

jmsteve

I know people keep saying that they want to see Rory grow/emerge from this situation with some kind of lesson learned, but I don't even know what that would look like to satisfy the general condemnation and distaste for her that seems to be going around. How do you show that she's learned her lesson on television?

Rory tortured Dean (and Jess and herself) for a year and change with sidelong glances at Jess. After all that, she had a moment, maybe two, in which she expresses remorse for what she'd done. An awkward, quiet apology was all she offered for that particular train wreck.

Alexis Bledel plays Rory's deeper emotions very close to the vest, not unlike Lauren Graham with Lorelai. If and when Rory realizes the full repercussions of her actions in this situation, I doubt we're going to get a huge emotional apology or anything like that out of it. If it follows in the same vein of the last four seasons, the remorse will be quiet and brief. The constant spew of "Rory is evil. Dean is ick!" makes me wonder what on earth AS-P could do that would be both realistic for the character and satisfy the anger of fans. Should Rory rend her clothes and gnash her teeth? Volunteer for a leper colony? Grovel at Lindsay's feet?

Maybe Rory will move into her next relationship with more hesitation. I'd like to see that myself. With Logan on the horizon, I'm not holding out much hope, though.

~Kitty

Thanks guys.

And before I go off to school.. just wanted to tell everyone to vote for Scott so he can have his own board.

Javaobsessed2005

Is it just me or does Scott look maaaaaad sexy in his sweats and t-shirt in that clip after the victory party for Jackson? Dying over here.... oh man Lorelai, when the man invites you in, you go in!!!

gluglug

Um, identifying much? Maybe Luke is so uncomfortable with Dean around is b/c he's reminded of his own mess of a marriage. Who was ready to divorce Nasty the day after they tied the knot?

I hope someone calls Luke on this - either Dean or Lorelai.

elduccia

I think it was spiced, but I am not sure.

oh and stillshimpy do come here more often. Reading your post is delightful.

netherfield: your last post comparing dream to reality totally got me there with u. again I liked the L/L scenes, but I remeber some of the Max/Lorelai scenes being a bit more hot and romantic. That's the only thing I could complain about when talking about L/L.

I do hope that Luke saying Dean is not good enough for Rory and and Rory tellin' her dad to keep off are related. Like she will appreciate what Luke says, even if it's not pleasant, as it comes from his heart and the true devouted affection he has always had for her.

oh, and would u believe I can't stop thinkin' about t-shirt Luke?

gluglug I beg to differ.
First: Dean doesn't know anything about Luke marriage. So I doubt he woud dare to call Luke on this.
Beside that, may I remind u that Luke AND Nicole got married and Luke AND Nicole came back to sense and AGREED on gettin' divorced as soon as their holiday was over. Both agreed.
Then the "let's put things on hold and start dating. Let's see what happend" was really weird, but then again they were BOTH on the same wavelength. Then they started going in different directions. But even if his heart wasn't in it, even if they were arguing badly he did NEVER used his unhappy marriage to jump into Lorelai's bed. Also, he found out that his feelings for Lorelai were deeper than he knew, after he had gotten divorced.

Sorry, to me it lookes totally different from what Dean did. IMO.
I don't hate Dean, I am just bored of him being around. He was much better as a friend when he and Rory broke up than he's know as a boyfriend. Boring boring boring...yawn!

*off to watch David Letterman*

Stillshimpy Hi,firslty I'm agree with all of your points, then when I asked if you were joking , I was trying to figure how could we say that Luke's reaction(he's surely overprotective with Rory..it's true)isn't normal,.
I think that he's acting like someone ..the only one here that really see things like they are.
Lorelai 's Rory mother and I only think that she's trying to show her daughter that she could count on her, no matter what .
Obviously she hates fighting and arguing with her that's why I guess she's organizing this double date..'cause she also feels so uncomfrtable with this situation.

Masbe like someone said , Luke could also tell Rory that there's another person that had been suffering for the whole situation:Linsday.
He didn't love Nicole..like Dean didn't love Linsday, but he respected his marriage, and everyone can remember his reaction when he discovered that Nicole had cheated on him.Those are my points..that's all.

elda, I see your points. The situations weren't exactly the same as you pointed out and Dean behaved worse than Luke did.

However, Luke and Dean were both rebounding from their then unrequited love for the Gilmore Girls by marrying the wrong girl.
I still think on an unconscious level, Luke identifies with Dean's mistake and it makes him uncomfortable.

I'm thinking of last season's drunkDean "Why didn't she love me?" confession and then the scene where Luke and Dean are in the arcade when Dean is talking about his marriage and pretending to be happy.
Luke knew where Dean was coming from, even though nothing was said.

Last season there was a lot of Luke/Dean parallel and it would be good character growth for Luke to admit that he understands where Dean was coming from instead of acting like he's beyond reproach. As much as I love Luke, he does tend to act like that.

I'm not defending Dean, either. The guy is obviously screwed up and treated Lindsay horribly by cheating on her. And keep in mind that Luke didn't cheat physically but he couldn't commit to Nicole b/c his heart was with Lorelai.
