Rory's getting ready for a date, I think, since she's applying lipstick. Lorelai is upset because eighteen dollars is missing from the cash box. Rory asks why Lorelai hasn't deposited the money in the bank yet. Rory, quit asking good questions. There's no logic involved here! Rory asks if Lorelai counted the money when she got the box. She didn't. There's much discussion of a choosy burglar. Lorelai asks Rory why she's off to the party so early. Rory says they have to help Lane set up the band. Lorelai tells Rory not to take her purse, since she doesn't need money or an ID at the party. Wait, um, yes she does. She should have ID at all times, and if she's going to a party with a boy you don't trust, she should totally have her own money on her so she can take a cab or whatever when said boy crashes car of the week and goes to jail. And then why can't Rory just put something in a pocket? Lorelai ties Rory's key to her belt, saying that the belt shouldn't come off. I guess Rory can neither pee nor identify herself in an emergency. It's amazing Rory made it this far alive. I guess all of this will be important in the next episode; otherwise I'm not sure why we're getting this lesson in "How To Get Stolen and Dumped In A River Without Ever Being Identified Or Found Ever Again." And wouldn't a key on your belt buckle hurt anyone who approached? Lorelai continues the Girls Gone Wild life lessons, telling Rory not to bother coming home if she's had sex, and not to eat from communal bowls of chips unless she wants the SARS. Finally, Lorelai tells Rory that getting up on a table and performing a song of any kind will haunt her for the rest of her days. "Been there, done that," Lorelai says. Rory says she wasn't planning on doing that. "These things are never planned," Lorelai says. I know. I'm sure nobody I was with remembers the occasion, but I'll never be able to hear "Love in an Elevator" without shivering ever again. The ladies leave together. Rory tells Lorelai to enjoy her Booster club meeting. Again? Jeez. Lorelai brings up the subject of Max by saying she wasn't going to bring up the subject of Max. She then decides mid-sentence that she's still not going to bring up the subject of Max. Good job, Lor. Now give the girl a condom and a spliff and send her on her way.
A driver's ed car just picked up the teen girl who lives across the street from me. After watching her adjust the sideview mirror for two hours, I saw her make a jerky entrance onto the street. Is it wrong that I felt the impulse to go out and move my car? From my driveway?
