Gilmore Girls Entry #481

I just finished watching the latest episode of Gilmore Girls and this calls for an update. Gosh, I miss talking about my shows. It's been a long time, huh? Now, if you don't know or wouldn't want to know anything about this show, you can stop reading right here. There will be spoilers, too, so, watch out for that and don't say I didn't warn you.

So, the episode. My favorite moment is when, on their first real date (squee!), Luke told Lorelai how they first met (squee!). It was sooo sweet, I sighed dreamily inside, while unconsciously smiling at my monitor. I transcribed part of it because .... well, if I tell it my way, I might miss some parts and it would ruin the moment. Here it is:

Lorelai: I'm just trying to... remember the first time we met. It must've been at Luke's right?

Luke: It was at Luke's, it was at lunch, it was a very busy day, the place was packed and this person--

Lorelai: [Gasp] Oooh, is it me? Is it me?

Luke: -- this person comes tearing in through the place in a caffeine frenzy

Lorelai: Oooh, it's me.

Luke: I was with a customer, she interrupts me, wild-eyed, begging for coffee, so I tell her to wait her turn. Then she starts following me around talking to my old man saying God-knows-what. So finally, I turn to her and I tell her she's being annoying. Sit down, shut up, I'll get to her when I get to her.

She asked me what my birthday was. I wouldn't tell her, she wouldn't stop talking, I gave in, I told her my birthday. Then she opened the newspaper to the horoscope page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me.

So I'm looking at this piece of paper in my hand and under Scorpio, she had written: You will meet an annoying woman today, give her coffee and she'll go away. I gave her coffee.

Lorelai: But she didn't go away.

Luke: She told me to hold on to that horoscope, put it in my wallet, carry it around with me and one day, it will bring me luck.

[Then he hands her the torn up horoscope]

Lorelai: Man, I will say anything for a cup of coffee. [pause] Um, I can't believe you've kept this. You kept this in your wallet? You kept this in your wallet...

Luke: 8 years.

All together now: Awww.

The episode was entitled "Written in the Stars". I get it now.

Right, I should be doing academic stuff.
