LORELAI: Huh. You know what I just realized? Oy is the funniest word in the entire world.

RORY: Huh.

LORELAI: I mean, think about it. You never hear the word oy and not smile. Impossible. Funny, funny word.

EMILY: Oh, dear God.

LORELAI: Poodle is another funny word.

EMILY: Please drink your drink, Lorelai.

LORELAI: In fact, if you put oy and poodle together in the same sentence, youd have a great new catch phrase, you know? Like, oy with the poodles already. So from now on, when the perfect circumstances arise, we will use our favorite new catch phrase.

RORY: Oy with the poodles already.

LORELAI: Im telling you, its knocking whatcha talking bout, Willis? right out of first place.

LUKE: Hey.

JESS: Hey.

LUKE: Howd you get in here?

JESS: The door was open.

LUKE: No, I mean, I was in the diner. I wouldve seen you come up the stairs. . . you know what, forget it, I dont wanna know. So, hows everything back home?

JESS: Fine.

LUKE: Your mom?

JESS: Fine.

LUKE: You in trouble?

JESS: Nah.

LUKE: Then what the hell you doing here, Jess? You know, I, uh, I called you six times. Now I didnt expect you to call me back so we could sit on the phone in bed and watch Sleepless in Seattle together. I just expected you to call me back, say you got home, say no one mugged me on the bus, say you were okay. Say. . .you know what, never mind. Just tell me what it is you want. I got work to do.

JESS: I wanna come back.

LUKE: You what?

JESS: I want to come back.

LUKE: Come back here?

JESS: Yes.

LUKE: Here to Stars Hollow?

JESS: Yes.

LUKE: To live in this apartment with me?

JESS: I said yes a million times already.

LUKE: You know what, youre the one asking for something so you dont get to be James Dean this time, okay? Now, one more time, you wanna come back?

JESS: Yes.

LUKE: Why?

JESS: I just, I. . . I just wanna come back.

LUKE: You know what people told me when I said you were coming here to live with me? They told me I was crazy, they told me I was insane, they told me to start writing letters to Jodie Foster but I ignored them. I was so sure that I knew what I was doing and then you showed up and you know what happened? You proved them right. I was crazy, and now after all that has happened, after all the chaos and havoc that you have wreaked, youre seriously standing there wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a butt with hands that are flipping me off, telling me you wanna come back?

JESS: You didnt pack up my stuff yet.

LUKE: Uh, no, Ive been a little busy.

JESS: When were you planning on sending it back to me?

LUKE: What, hey, am I wearing a little brown uniform with UPS stamped on it?

JESS: So, what do you think?

LUKE: Things are gonna have to be different, Jess.

JESS: I know.

LUKE: Okay.

JESS: Okay?

LUKE: So youre staying?

JESS: Im staying.

LUKE: Okay, then. Stay. I gotta get back to the diner.

JESS: Ill help you close up later, all right?

LUKE: Sure. Shes not home.

JESS: Who?

LUKE: Shes at Sookies wedding with Dean, theyre still together. They seem to have gotten through the whole car incident. Theyre doing really good, Dean and Rory.

JESS: Good.

LUKE: Just leave it alone, Jess. Shes got a boyfriend. Just let it go.

JESS: I dont know what youre talking about. Im just going out for a walk.

LUKE: You heard what I said?

JESS: Yeah, I heard what you said.
