Lorelai says that hearing this from him is good for her. It's just that she thinks 401(k)s are important along with being responsible and paying bills and all that. "Yeah, I'm starting to learn a little more about reality," he says. "I grew up with a lot of privilege." Lorelai: "I know. You had the whole 'silver spoon in the mouth' thing, and that's not how I raised Rory. This was not a silver-spoon household. This was spork city, all the way." Logan is humble enough to say that he realizes that. Why have they been making me like and respect Logan? It messes with my whole worldview. He says he totally gets what she's saying, "because [he] just spat out a whole place setting of sterling silver Royal Danish." He says he left his dad's company and that whole world because he has his own values. Lorelai says that she can understand that. "I thought you would," Logan says, "because that's what you did. You left a world of privilege to do things your way. Plus, you did it when you were younger, and you had a baby to take care of. That's impressive." Lorelai says that she never thought of it that way, but that anyway, she doesn't need him to be impressed with her -- she knows she worked hard to get everything she got. With gravity, he says that he wants to work, he's ready to work, and he wants to work hard. Lorelai smiles. "All right then," she says, giving him a break. They seal the deal with pie.
The Fling is ON, and as Lorelai, Rory, Logan and Michel disembark from the shuttle with the Dragonfly guests, the Sinclairs try in vain to make the hay-bale maze sound fun to their weird kid. No, nobody is in the maze chasing you or squirting you with squirt guns, but, um, it IS made of hay! The kid ain't buying it, so Logan chimes in. "Well I can't believe we're finally here at the maze!" he cries in wonder. Rory: "Oh, it's all I've dreamed since I could dream!" Lorelai chuckles as Logan goes on: "There's just something about being in a maze of hay! It's just so much fun!" Lorelai: "Take it down, Olivier." Hee. She tells the Sinclairs that, for after the maze, Sookie has made all the classic Fling foods back at the Inn. They enter the maze just before Babette and Maury stagger up. "Whooaaa," Maury says. "The maze...just high on the maze..." Taylor allows a group of daffodils to enter the maze, telling them if that they get lost, they should just wave their hands and the maze guard (Kirk on stilts) will come find them. Thank God Kirk isn't sleeping in the center of the maze, Minotaur-style.
