Rory stands in front of CuteDean's house. After a moment, she knocks on the door and a young girl answers. Rory talks to her like she's six, but the girl is probably about ten. "How are you today?" Rory asks. The girl says she's fine. She asks whether Rory's here to see CuteDean, her brother. Rory says she isn't, and explains that she's a Girl Scout. The young girl says that she's a Brownie right now. ["If that's true, she's eight at the most. Brownies are just little." -- Wing Chun] She asks why Rory's not in uniform. Rory says that they aren't wearing uniforms anymore because they want to blend in with the average person. The young girl says that Rory looks familiar and then remembers that Rory is the girl from the pictures in CuteDean's room. She says that there's a funny one of Rory sticking out her tongue that CuteDean had. Rory asks if the girl meant "has," or "had." The girl is tripped up and says she doesn't understand. Rory tries to be sweet and asks the young girl her name. It's Clara. She asks Clara if she meant "has" or "had." Clara says she doesn't know. Rory asks Clara to go up to CuteDean's room and see if the pictures are still there. Clara says that CuteDean doesn't like her to go into in his room. Rory tells her to sneak in. Clara starts to cry. It's a really bad cry. Clara must know someone. Rory apologizes as Clara touches her face. Rory says that she's a nice person and a Girl Scout. From inside the house, CuteDean asks Clara what's wrong. I don't know how he can hear her silent tears. Rory hauls ass down the street. CuteDean walks out, and Clara tells him that the Girl Scout scared her. She points at Rory. CuteDean watches Rory running away. CuteDean CuteSighs. Commercial.
Rory, Max, and Lorelai walk down the street in Stars Hollow at night. Shouldn't someone be at Friday-night dinner by now? Max looks through the grocery bags and says that they have food, drink, reading material, and chocolate-covered espresso beans. He asks whether that's everything. Rory says she thinks it is. "You're such a good provider," Lorelai coos. Max says he's heard so much about these town meetings, he wanted to see one first-hand. Rory says that last time, a crazy lady threw french fries at people. Max asks Lorelai whether the fries were cold. Lorelai says that she was just full. Max hands the girls two Ring Pops. He explains that the diamonds are actually candy that can be eaten. He's also bought candy that's not in a wrapper, and he should know better than that. Lorelai says that they are not eight. Behind his back they switch pops so Rory can have red and Lorelai can have grape.
