RORY: Jess, open up! I know you're in there.
JESS: My, aren't we bright eyed and bushy tailed.
RORY: Luke needs you downstairs.
JESS: Why?
RORY: Because he's on the phone with someone and Caesar's off today and the place is packed and he needs help.
JESS: I'll be down in a minute.
RORY: No, now.
JESS: I'm in the middle of something.
RORY: Just assume that Jeannies gonna get Major Healey out of whatever scrape he's in.
JESS: Gee, thanks for spoiling it for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LORELAI: Well, youre very graceful.
JESS: She pushed me.
RORY: Sue me.
JESS: I couldve broken my neck.
RORY: As long as its not your arm. We need your arm.
JESS: Despot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RORY: Hey Luke, wheres Jess?
LUKE: I dont know, hes probably out playing basketball or something.
RORY: That little punk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Rory walks by, pulling Jess behind her]
JESS: Watch the shirt!
RORY: Cork it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TAYLOR: I concur. When one gazes at Stars Hollow, one can easily overlook a vital component of its beauty and thats the humble yet spunky twinkle light.
JESS: Holy cow.
LUKE: It doesnt get fruitier.
TAYLOR: Harrys House of Twinkle Lights has been an integral part of this time for twenty years, so its only right that we honor his retirement. So I hereby designate next Tuesday, Harry the Twinkle Light Man from Harrys House of Twinkle Lights Day.
JESS: Well, that just trips off the tongue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TAYLOR: Late again, are we?
LORELAI: Yes, I hope Im not pregnant!
TAYLOR: What?
LORELAI: Are these seats taken?
LUKE: Dont drag me into this.
TAYLOR: You really have to work on your punctuality, Lorelai. I banged the meeting in a half an hour ago.
LORELAI: Uh, dirty!
TAYLOR: Im gonna take advantage of this unexpected pause in our proceedings to confer with Miss Patty about the next item on our agenda.
LORELAI: Whatd we miss?
LUKE: Harrys retiring.
RORY: The twinkle light man?
LORELAI: What do we do for twinkle lights?
LUKE: Go to any discount store?
LORELAI: Blasphemy.
RORY: What are you doing here anyhow? This is a town meeting for people who participate in and care about the town.
JESS: Well, Corkys Country Cavalcade on public access was pre-empted, so I thought Id check out the next best thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LORELAI: Its repetitive.
RORY: And redundant.
LORELAI: Its repetitive.
RORY: And redundant.
LORELAI: We certainly are entertaining, Mac.
RORY: Indubitably, Tosh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CUSTOMER: Young man, wheres the young lady weve heard so much about whos using those delightful old diner phrases to place peoples orders? It sounds so fun. Could you point her out for us?
JESS: No. [walks to counter] Thats everyone. Ill be upstairs.
RORY: Thanks for doing the very least you could possibly do.
JESS: Youre welcome
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RORY: Nice spread.
JESS: People have too much free time in this town.
RORY: You did a good thing.
JESS: What do you mean?
RORY: I thought my mom set this up. Turns out she didnt.
JESS: So? Wasnt me.
RORY: It wasnt?
JESS: Nah, no way. It wasnt me.
RORY: If you say so.
JESS: Look, the crazy ballet teacher called and asked when Luke was getting back from the funeral, if I could unlock the door. I came down, I unlocked the door, then went back upstairs and back to sleep.
RORY: So you did do a little something.
JESS: I unlocked the door.
RORY: So that people could come in here and put this together. Nice.
JESS: Nice for them, not for me.
RORY: You facilitated it, you made it happen, so I guess that means that youre officially apart of our town now.
JESS: Hey, wait a minute.
RORY: Welcome.
JESS: I am not part of this town.
RORY: See you for some tree planting over at the Arbor Day Festival, buddy.
JESS: Yeah, well maybe I can knock over a liquor store while everyone else is planting those stupid trees.
RORY: As long as its a liquor store in town, neighbor.
