1.09- Perchance to Dream

LORELAI: Oh my God. Uh, uh, I, I need a pen. I don’t have a pen. Luke, give me your pen.

LUKE: I don’t have a pen.

LORELAI: Where’s the pen you take orders with?

LUKE: You have got to stop assuming that I take pens with me everywhere I go.

RICHARD: Never be without a pen.

LORELAI: Thank you, Dad.

EMILY: Really, Lorelai, how many more times are you gonna do that?

LORELAI: I think about six.

LUKE: Sorry. I forgot to turn the alarm off.

LORELAI: Bad alarm. Bad, bad alarm.

LORELAI: What time is it?

LUKE: Early.

LORELAI: Hate early. Must kill early.

SOOKIE: So all I’m saying is that you broke up with Luke and immediately started dating Christopher. And I know you’re over it, and I know you’ve moved on, but all those feelings for Luke didn’t just disappear overnight, right?

LORELAI: No that’s what I’m saying. Of course they didn’t.

SOOKIE: It’s just, you moved really quickly.

LORELAI: Yes, I moved quickly to a man I love who loves me, who wanted to marry me. When Luke and I were together, he was kind and loyal and thoughtful. The guy built me an ice-skating rink, for god’s sake.

SOOKIE: God, I forgot about that.

I love the friday night dinners. 

RORY: Mom. This isn’t good. Come on. Try to sit up.

LORELAI: He said he needed time to think, but I pushed him.

RORY: He’ll come around.

LORELAI: I pushed him, and now he’s gone.

RORY: He waited forever for you. He’s not just going to walk away.

LORELAI: It’s over.

RORY: Mom, this isn’t you. Lying in bed like this. You should be up.

LORELAI: You should go to school. Go back to school.

RORY: I’m here. I’m staying.

LORELAI: God, I really screwed up this time.

RORY: Shh.

LORELAI: He could have been the one.

EMILY: What are you looking at?

LORELAI: Nothing. It’s just — isn’t — isn’t this weird to you?

EMILY: What?

LORELAI: Sitting next to each other?

EMILY: Would you like me to move?

LORELAI: No, it’s fine. It’s just… close.

EMILY: Will you explain to me again why we are doing this?

LORELAI: I have no idea because you usually sit over there.

EMILY: I’m talking about Rory being in the pool house, Lorelai.

LORELAI: Rory just thought we should split up tonight, get in some quality… couch time.

LUKE: What the -

LORELAI: Taa-daa!

LUKE: How’d you get in here?

LORELAI: You’re bread guy let me in.

LUKE: I’m switching bread guys.

LORELAI: What do you think?

LUKE: I think you shouldn’t break and enter.

LORELAI: So what do you think?

LUKE: Well I gotta admit - it looks pretty good.

LORELAI: Oh, I knew you’d like it.

LUKE: Thanks.

LORELAI: Anytime. It’s fun.

LUKE: So, uh, where’s the guy?

LORELAI: Oh he’s gone.

LUKE: Oh, too bad.

LORELAI: I think what you really need to do today is wallow.

RORY: Wallow?

LORELAI: Oh yeah, get back in your pajamas, go to bed, eat nothing but gallons of ice cream and tons of pizza, don’t take a shower or shave your legs or put on any kind of make up at all and just sit in the dark and watch a really sad movie and have a good long cry and just wallow. You need to wallow.

RORY: No.

LORELAI: Rory, your first love is intense and your first break up even more intense. Shoving it away and ignoring it while you make lists it’s not gonna help.

RORY: I don’t want to wallow.

LORELAI: Try it for one day.

RORY: No.
