Yale. Paris tells Rory it was a smart move jumping on her bandwagon with the International Relations Committee. Rory says that Paris is making her go to this thing. Paris says that Rory will thank her when she's interviewing for grad schools in a few years and finds that her "waifish looks aren't as charming." Paris has a scarf. That's nineteen. Paris reminds Rory to argue and be vocal in this class; it's all about volume. Rory asks why Paris, who is pre-med, is suddenly interested in International Relations. Paris says it's critical to step outside your major sometimes and a "certain fellow" told her about it. Rory makes Paris shut up before she says anything more. They enter the class and sign in. Scarf count: twenty. Paris tells Rory that the advisor, Professor Friedman, has a daughter who was busted last spring for growing pot in their basement. "A certain fellow" told her. A guy enters, and by the sound of the strummy-strummy-la-la, we're supposed to care. If they hadn't mentioned in the previously that this was the probably gay guy from the laundry room, I wouldn't have known that. Actually, he still doesn't look familiar. Anyway, he signs in and Rory stares at him. They make eye contact, and then Rory ducks away because he dissed her once and Rory still hasn't recovered.
Luke's. Kirk wants to know what time it is, but Luke just told him the time and doesn't want to do it again. Kirk's waiting on the bells. Luke tells him that the bells will let Kirk know what time it is. It goes on for a little while, until Lorelai finally breaks the routine by entering and ordering a gigantic coffee. Scarf count: 21. Kirk's wearing one, but I counted it in an earlier scene. Hell, I'll count it again: 22. Kirk says that he stood so close to the bells earlier that he now has tinnitus, an affliction he learned, from the "Celebrities Who Share Your Disease" website that he shares with William Shatner. Lorelai is amused that Kirk and Captain Kirk both have tinnitus. So does recapper Pamie. It's called Lollapalooza. Kirk looks up quickly and asks, "Was that them?" Heh. Luke tells Lorelai he doesn't like bells, and that not everybody does. "No, actually, they do," she says. Luke says that they interrupt conversations and are monotonous. Lorelai says the people who feel that way are the same freaks who also like sunsets and the moon and the stars.
