8.15 - Back

Lorelai and Rory are sitting in the living room talking.

Lorelai: so, do you think you made the right decision?

Rory: I guess, I mean how will you ever know?

Lorelai: I don’t know.

Rory smiles.

Rory: so when does Sookie come back?

Lorelai: I’m not sure, why?

Rory: well, we haven’t heard anything about her trip to Jackson’s moms house.

Lorelai: I know, I’m starting to think they chopped her up and ate her.

Rory giggles. There’s a knock at the door.

Lorelai: I’ll get it.

Lorelai gets up and goes over to the door. It’s Michel.

Michel: Lorelai.

Lorelai: Michel? What are you doing here?

Michel: well I got back from France and I thought I would come visit you.

Lorelai: oh well how sweet. Come in.

Michel: oh that’s okay. I’ve visited.

Lorelai: Michel, I promise Paul Anka won’t bite you again.

Michel: whatever you know that dog has it out for me.

Rory comes up from behind Lorelai and starts barking. Michel screams. Lorelai and Rory laugh. Babette comes out.

Babette: What’s going on?

Lorelai (laughing): nothing, Michel is experiencing some post travel stress.

Babette: oh okay, I thought I heard a little girl scream.

Michel: excuse me. My scream is plenty manly enough.

Babette: okay.

Babette walks back in her house.

Michel: that was not even funny Rory.

Lorelai: I thought it was pretty funny.

Michel: well I’m leaving.

Michel walks to his car.

Rory: don’t leave, we we’re just playing.

Lorelai: I’ll hide Paul Anka.

Michel: hmmf.

Michel gets in his car and drives off.

Lorelai: you want to go to Luke’s?

Rory: sure.

Lorelai: it’ll be the first time we’ve got to go just you and me in a long time.

Rory: no it won’t.

Lorelai: it won’t?

Rory: no, I mean yeah Logan had to go back to California, and Paris is with Doyle, but we still have Tristan.

Lorelai: oh, well maybe if we get out before he wakes up, he won’t notice we’re gone.

Rory: oh yeah when he wakes up and realizes that no ones home, he wouldn’t notice.

Lorelai: exactly.

OPENING CREDITS

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

Luke: hey Rory.

Rory: hey Luke.

Luke: you haven’t been in here to get something to eat in a while.

Rory: I know, I’m sorry I’ve been busy.

Luke: it’s completely understandable.

Lorelai: hey hun.

Luke: hey.

Lorelai and Luke kiss.

Kirk: you know I think that is a health code violation.

Luke: can it Kirk.

Kirk: okay.

Lorelai and Rory sit down at the counter.

Lorelai: so where’s Lulu Kirk?

Kirk: she had to go to the doctor.

Rory: is something wrong?

Kirk: I don’t think so, just a check up.

Lorelai: good.

Miss Patty comes over.

Miss Patty: Rory! It’s good to see you.

Rory: it’s good to see you too Miss Patty.

Miss Patty and Rory hug.

Miss Patty: well I was just on my way back to the dance studio so I’ll see you later.

Rory: Okay.

Miss Patty leaves.

Lorelai: you seem mighty popular around here Rory.

Rory: it does seem that way.

Jess comes down.

Jess: Luke, you need to fix the plumbing.

Luke: what’s wrong with it?

Jess: there’s no hot water.

Luke: I’ll take a look.

Luke goes upstairs. Rory gets up to get something from behind the counter, and bumps into Jess.

Jess: oh hey Rory, I didn’t see you there.

Rory: sorry.

Rory sits back down. Jess goes upstairs.

Lorelai: oh that wasn’t awkward at all.

Rory: shusshh.

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

A FEW DAYS LATER

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

Rory is sitting at Luke’s reading a book. Jess goes over to her.

Jess: hey Rory.

Rory: hey Jess.

Jess: is Logan back yet?

Rory: no, he says it might be a few more days until he can get back.

Jess: I’m sorry.

Rory: it’s no big deal.

Rory puts her book in her purse.

Jess: what are you reading?

Rory: umm……..okay, it’s little out of my reading range, but it’s really good.

Jess: what is it?

Rory: you can’t laugh.

Jess: I won’t tell me.

Rory: okay I heard it was suppose to be the best book of the year.

Jess: I may just have to read it.

Rory: okay, it’s Twilight.

Jess: Twilight?

Rory: yeah.

Jess stares at her.

Rory: you said you wouldn’t laugh.

Jess gets up and goes upstairs.

Rory: well at least he’s not laughing in front of me.

Jess comes back down stairs with a book in his hand, and hands it to Rory.

Rory (reading the book cover): Twilight, your reading Twilight?

Jess: yes, I didn’t laugh at you, so you can’t laugh at me.

Rory: what do you think of it.

Jess: I think it’s pretty good actually, I mean it’s kind of poetic. A girl falling in love with a vampire, and a vampire falling in love with girl.

Rory: that’s what I thought.

Jess: I really like it. I may have to add it to my top 5.

Rory: really?

Jess: really.

Rory: it’s okay me too.

Rory and Jess smile.

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

Lorelai is on the phone at the inn.

Lorelai: I’m sorry mom……….Yes I know……….It was Christmas………Rory had friends over. Mom……..

Lorelai hangs up.

Sookie: having trouble with your mom?

Lorelai: you have no…… SOOKIE!!!!

Lorelai runs over and hugs Sookie.

Lorelai: what are you doing here?

Sookie: what do you mean? I had to come home sometime.

Lorelai and Sookie laugh.

Lorelai: your not pregnant.

Sookie: nope.

Lorelai: you had the baby?

Sookie: yeah. JACKSON!!

Jackson comes in with a baby in his hands. He hands the baby to Lorelai.

Lorelai: oh she’s so cute.

Sookie: yeah.

Lorelai: did you know it was going to be a girl?

Sookie: no, we decided we would just wait and see what we got.

Lorelai: what’s her name?

Sookie: Victoria Leigh…….

Lorelai: hey, that’s my middle name.

Jackson: I told you she would get it.

Lorelai: and that’s Rory’s middle name too.

Jackson: and I told you she would get that one too.

Lorelai: you shouldn’t have.

Sookie: oh it was nothing.

Jackson: but we’re not going to call her Victoria.

Lorelai: what?

Sookie: yeah it uses a lot of breath to say Victoria.

Lorelai: so what are you going to call her?

Sookie: Tori.

Lorelai: I like it.

Sookie: you do?

Lorelai: yeah, it’s going to fit her perfectly.

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

THAT NIGHT

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

Luke: now why is Sookie coming over?

Lorelai: cause she’s been gone, and we haven’t had dinner together in a long time.

Luke: okay.

Tristan: and who exactly is Sookie?

Luke: she’s Lorelai best friend.

Tristan: oh, okay.

There’s a knock at the door.

Rory: I got it.

Rory answers the door. It’s Jess.

Jess: hey Rory.

Rory: hey Jess.

Jess: so who’s all going to be over for dinner tonight?

Rory: umm……well, my mom, Luke, Tristan, Me, You, Sookie, Jackson, Davey, Martha, and the new baby Tori.

Jess: they named her Tori?

Rory: yeah.

Jess: isn’t that a little out of their name range.

Rory: what do you mean?

Jess: I mean Davey, Martha, Tori. It doesn’t fit.

Rory: well her real name is Victoria.

Jess: okay that fits.

Rory giggles. Jess comes in. Rory shuts the door.

Rory: so you get New Moon yet?

Jess: no, Andrew’s sold out and isn’t getting any until next week.

Rory: I know. I bought the last copy.

Jess: oh your good.

Rory: I know.

Jess: you don’t even need it though.

Rory: I only have 7 more chapters.

Jess: yeah but I only have 4.

Rory: I still bet I beat you.

Jess: doubt it.

Rory: want to bet on that.

Jess: sure.

Rory: how much.

Jess: I bet your copy of New Moon that I will finish before you.

Rory: okay, I bet that if I beat you, you have to buy me Eclipse.

Jess: deal.

Rory and Jess shake hands.

Lorelai: Rory, who was at the door.

Rory: Jess.

Lorelai: okay.

There’s another knock at the door.

 

Jess: I’ll get it.

Jess answers the door.

Jess: hey Sookie.

Sookie: Jess? Hey, how are you?

Jess and Sookie hug.

Sookie: RORY!!!

Rory and Sookie hug.

Rory: how you doing Jackson.

Jackson: well I added a new car seat the minnie-van how do you think I’m doing.

Rory laughs.

Rory: it’s good to have you back.

Davey walks in holding Martha’s hand.

Davey: AUNTIE RORY!!!

Davey runs to Rory. Rory picks him up in a hug.

Rory: did you have good time?

Davey: I had a really good time, I got lots of stuff.

Rory: you did?

Davey: yeah I got a shark tooth.

Rory: oh my gosh, that is so cool.

Davey: you want to see it?

Rory: yeah, do you have it?

Davey: it’s in my pocket.

Rory sets Davey down. Rory looks at Jess who is smiling.

Rory: what are you smiling at?

Jess: nothing.
Rory: oh there’s something.

Jess: your going to be a great mother.

Rory: oh, thanks Jess.

Rory smiles. Davey pulls out the shark tooth.

Davey: here it is Aunt Rory.

Rory bends down to look at it.

Rory: oh my gosh, that this is scary.

Davey: no way, it’s cool.

Rory laughs.

Rory: why don’t you go show that to Aunt Lorelai.

Davey: okay.

Davey runs off to the kitchen.

Rory: hey Martha.

Martha (shyly): hi Aunt Rory.

Rory: did you have a good time?

Martha: yeah I got to see the fishies.

Rory: you did?

Martha: yeah and mommy said that I could get a fishie.

Rory: oh that will be really cool.

Martha: yeah but I don’t want to get a shark.

Rory: oh, I wouldn’t want to get a shark either.

Martha: it looked like it would eat me!

Jess laughs.

Rory: yeah.

Martha: you want to see what I got?

Rory: sure.

Martha grabs her small plastic purse and pulls out a fake purple gemstone, and puts it in Rory’s hand.

Rory: oh wow, this is very pretty.

Martha: yes it is, it belonged to a princess, she said I could have it.

Rory: well aren’t’ you lucky?

Martha: I’m very lucky.

Rory hands back the gemstone.

Rory: how do you like baby Tori?

Martha: well, I like her but she cries a lot.

Rory and Jess laugh.

Rory: alright, well we better go have dinner.

Martha: did your mommy make Mac’ n’ Cheese?

Rory: I think she did.

The three of them go into the kitchen.

Rory: hey mom, did you make Mac’ n’ Cheese?

Lorelai: I certainly did, but it’s all for me.

Martha: no, you can’t be a hog. You have to share Aunt Lorelai.

Everyone laughs.

Lorelai: I think I can share.

Martha: only with me though.

Lorelai: okay, only with you.

There’s a knock at the door.

Lorelai: would you get that Rory?

Rory: sure.

Rory heads for the door. Jess watches.

Rory: hello?

Lily: Hi, I’m Lily, I’m looking Logan.
