Luke's. The post-dinner dinner. Rory can't believe how obsessed Emily was about the vest. Lorelai: "Not since I wore my 'Gas, Grass Or Ass, No One Rides For Free' t-shirt to the Junior League Spring Tea." Luke drops off ice cream, pie, cake, and half a grapefruit. Rory whines that she doesn't want any grapefruit. Luke says it's too late for Lorelai, but that he can make Rory eat it. Lorelai says the service is very rude, and now she won't tip him. She tells Rory that they shouldn't have been tipping him all this time. Rory knows that it's customary not to tip the proprietor of an establishment, but she reminds Lorelai that they like Luke, which is why they keep giving him money. That and he gives them free things, like half a grapefruit. The clock inside Luke's says it's 9:30. The clock next door at the Soda Shoppe says it's 8. Lorelai says that the grapefruit will be eaten if Luke brings them some coffee. Luke leaves for coffee, and Lorelai asks how long her nose has become.
Rory says she's going to stop by Dean's new place because it's early. He's sleeping on his friend Kyle's couch. It's just temporary. Don't let Kyle's parents know he's sleeping over. Lorelai says they could call Dean and have him meet them at Luke's. Rory seems excited at this notion, which is bizarre, since most people don't want to hang out with their parents right after they first start sleeping together, but Rory's really dating her mother. She says she knows it's been weird between Lorelai and Dean since they got back together. Lorelai argues that she and Dean just saw each other earlier today and had a grand old time. Rory says Dean told her it was weird. Lorelai says it was only weird on his side, then, because it wasn't weird on her end. "Im-hmm," says Rory. Lorelai, unbelievably, suggests tagging along with Rory to Kyle's. "He's back from the Navy! Right? We could all hang out, and hear stories. He could teach us some sea chanteys." Lorelai needs a playdate with some people from her own age group. She says she'll tell Dean how not-weird everything is. Rory says that'd be weird, too. Lorelai says she likes it better how it was before, when they'd get together and hang out and have fun and not be married or have sex. Lorelai says they had a great rhythm. Ew. "He has a great heart. I don't want it to be weird." He actually has the kind of heart they write songs about. He has a cheatin' heart. Lorelai: "Well, then, what about tomorrow night? Let's all hook up then." Oh, man, this whole thing is so desperate. And moms don't say "hook up" to their daughters in reference to their boyfriends. This isn't how moms and daughters talk to each other, and it's not how Lorelai and Rory talk to each other. Lorelai would confront Rory about this, or at least Rory would make Lorelai talk about it. It makes their relationship seem fake, and their love lives are already so frigid and fake, and is WHOA. Someone just sprayed half a bottle of perfume on me. Thanks a fucking lot, 22B. Good Christ, it feels like I drank a Sephora. Ugh. Man. There are hundreds of us on this plane, lady! Have some respect for other people. Who do you think you are -- Lorelai? Gah. It's everywhere, and I don't have my inhaler on me. Man. Grr. I smell like skank. Oh, and now her boyfriend just leaned his chair back as far as he can, and he's leaning into it, trying to get it to go back even further. Now I'm angled like a parenthesis, trying to see the screen, blasting the overhead air to try to create a steady stream of oxygen that doesn't taste like Jean Naté, and the douche in front of me is trying to rest his head in my lap. I'd also like to take a moment to thank Dan Kwa for recapping Lost so that I'm not watching a plane crash over and over again right now. Man. I'm still covered in perfume. I'm so mad about it. I hope she reads this recap. Lady: don't spray perfume in public. Some of us are allergic to you.
