season two, episode eight

rory, lane, and emilia are walking down the street in stars hollow.

"so, janie fertman's trying to be my friend again." lane says.

"yikes. what kind of vibe are you giving her?" rory asks.

"oh, my patented keith richards circa 1969 'don't mess with me' vibe, with a thousand-yard asian stare thrown in."

"that should do it." emilia says approvingly.

they see a police car and a large crowd down the street in front of doose's market.

"what's happening up there?" rory asks aloud.

the three girls walk over and join the large group in front of the market.

"just try to calm down taylor." the policewoman says.

"calm down! why should i calm down?"

"yeah, why should he calm down?" bootsy adds.

"i want action not words."

"yeah, action not words." bootsy adds in again.

"don't you need to get back to your newsstand, bootsy?"

"no buddy, i'm all yours."

"we're gonna get to the bottom of this, i promise you." the policewoman tells taylor.

"a crime was committed right in front of my store."

"now, we can't say that for sure yet."

"how come you can't say that for sure? this is a police tape. you're the police, you own the tape!"

"taylor, we've contacted everyone in the precinct. no one knows anything about this."

"well, what am i supposed to do? i've got a dead body right in front of my store!"

"no, you have a chalk outline of a dead body right in front of your store."

"meaning that there were two crimes." bootsy says.
