Jess sits at a table with a man who tells Jess that he learned a lot about life while he was in prison. Dude. Jess is totally going to find that out on his own. Doesn't need your advice.
Luke tells Lorelai that Jess is going to be okay. T.J. walks by again, producing his own ad for tights. Liz calls Lorelai and Luke her two heroes. Luke congratulates her. Liz says that Jess was great. T.J. says it wasn't a hard thing to do, but that Jess "did it great." Jess stands up, and Liz yells at him to say goodbye before he runs off. Jess promises he's just going for more food. Liz and T.J. leave for food, too. Lorelai gossips that she saw Jess's book. She can't stop giggling about the goofy title. "It is bizarre," she says. Luke's defensive, saying that Jess is just trying to improve himself. Lorelai says that those books are idiotic and that she can't believe Luke's not mocking the book with her. Luke stands up and yells at Lorelai that he's trying, and that Jess can read whatever he wants to read. He leaves to get something to drink.
Stupid bar. Graham and his buddies are currently re-enacting a scene from Good Will Hunting while joykill Rory sits at a nearby table. She must have a fake I.D. for sure, because someone served that girl beer. Rory's pouty, unhappy that she ended up with a group of frat boys. Couldn't she have figured this out before they got to the bar? It's not like they were wearing masks. And there are no other girls with them. Graham would never have invited Rory to such a thing and whatever this subplot is stupid. Rory's unhappy. When is she not? Moving on. Graham can't figure out why Rory's no fun, and she tells him to go hang with his friends. He tells her to lighten up. Rory mopes. The boys agree that it's time to continue on the pub crawl. Rory's apparently never heard of such a thing. The boys brag about being great drunk drivers, and Rory lets them drive away. I guess Rory really is the worst friend in the world. Anyway, then she doesn't have any money and there's some dumb ATM thing (the party for the girl playing the waitress erupts into cheers after her one line) and then blah, blah, blah and Rory makes a cell-phone call, and for some reason it's not to her mother, who is on the other end of that Nextel beepy-button thing in her brain. Someone's smoking in that bar!
