Gilmore Girls – Rory’s Birthday

LUKE: She’s not here yet.
LORELAI: All right. You’ll have to entertain me until she arrives. OK, Burger Boy, dance.
LUKE: Will you marry me?
LORELAI: What?
LUKE: Just looking for something to shut you up.
LORELAI: You better be nice to me or I’m not inviting you to Rory Gilmore’s birthday celebration this Saturday night.
LUKE: You don’t have to ask me, you know.
LORELAI: I know. But I would like you to come.
LUKE: Yeah?
LORELAI: Yeah.
LUKE: OK, I’ll see.
LORELAI: 7:00. Don’t be late.
LORELAI: Wow. Nice face you got on there.
RORY: Coffee.
LORELAI: Bad day?
RORY: I’ve now used the word ‘sucks’ so much that it’s lost all meaning to me.
LORELAI: Well maybe this will cheer you up.
RORY: What?
LORELAI: You’ll see.
RORY: What is that?
LORELAI: These are our party dresses.
RORY: So it’s a Halloween party?
LORELAI: Listen, you. So I’m shopping today with your grandmother and it’s a whole three hours of “Who are you buying that for, Mom? Have you met Rory?” and then finally I talked and she listened and she is getting you something I think you’re really going to like.
RORY: Really?
LORELAI: Yes, really. And of course she insisted on buying us these dresses but I think I can do something with them to make them better.
RORY: Wow. I’ve never seen you so cheery after spending time with Grandma.
LORELAI: Well it’s been a long time since we got together and didn’t end up fighting. It was refreshing. It wasn’t exactly fun but I didn’t get that shooting pain in my eye like I usually do.
RORY: Wow. That’s great.
LORELAI :Yeah.
LUKE: So I hear you’re having a party Saturday.
RORY: Yeah. Mom’s famous for her blowouts.
LORELAI: The best one was her eighth birthday.
RORY: Oh, yeah, that was good.
LORELAI: The cops shut us down.
LUKE: The cops shut down an eight year old’s birthday party?
RORY: And arrested the clown.
LUKE: I don’t want to hear any more of this.
LORELAI: So, now tell me, why Miss Lemonhead today?
RORY: Nothing. I-I’m fine. I just got an A- on a French test that I should have gotten an A on.
LORELAI: Oh, honey, an A- is awesome.
RORY: Yeah, it’s – it’s fine.
LOREAI: Let me see. Maybe we should really embrace the whole tulle thing. Go totally modern Cinderella. What do you think? It’s your birthday.
RORY: Yeah. Lucky me.
