Into the middle of all this raging comes Zach. Lane says that he has a lot of nerve just to walk into that place. "What are you talking about?" he says. "This is like, a place of business. Maybe I want to buy some antiques." In unison with everybody in the world, Lane gives a big "oh, RIGHT." Zach quietly notes that she is not wearing her glasses anymore, and says he's there to get one of his CDs: "You know, the one with the crazy-looking chick on it?" In extreme frustration, she says she does not have any of his CDs. He tries to go up to her room and check, but she shoves him and says that if she finds a CD with a crazy-looking chick on it, she'll mail it to him. Awesome, Lane. Stay mad! Zach tries again to get her to go upstairs with him, but she yells that she's working. "Oh, yeah," he says, "I can tell there's a real rush on ancient crap going on here." Hee. Good one, pfTL. Lane kicks him out, and rightly so, and, since she's so good at being mad, throws in an extra "you break it, you buy it" to a nearby customer.
Meanwhile, back at Yale, Rory and Lorelai are having lunch -- Lorelai is really not going for the new apartment. "It's Sanford and Son!" she says. Rory tells her it's an okay place and that she's fine with it, but Lorelai's not having it. "Let's call Daddy," she says, "and make him pay for an apartment with one lock." Rory says no; this is the way it's supposed to be. "I'm supposed to live in a crappy apartment," she insists. "I'm supposed to eat Ramen noodles and mac and cheese for months!" Naw, girl. That's graduate school. If the apartment is convenient and safe enough, fine, but don't try to slum it just because you read somewhere in a book that college kids are poor. You go to Yale. I'd be more mad if Rory did not look strikingly beautiful in this episode. The hair is outstanding, is what I'm saying, and I am filled with jealousy. "This is good, and right, and I'm happy," she says, "and I have roommates who are learning to kill people, so where's the bad?"
