Gilmore Girls Continued

Scene 1: The Send-Off

LORELAI: If he wins? What if they want to keep her on as an assistant or something?

LUKE: Well I guess we have to hope for him to lose then.

LORELAI: No, we can't do that. It'd be unethical... Right?

LUKE: Right.

Sookie enters, arms flailing and looking overjoyed.

SOOKIE: Lorelai! Luke!

LORELAI: Oh, hey Soo. (happily)

SOOKIE: Ah! The wedding's back on!

LORELAI: (bewildered) Who? Who told you? This just happened last night.

SOOKIE: Well Miss Patty saw the kiss. Then she was talking to Babette, and you know Babette-

LORELAI: (interrupting) Oh yes, I know Babette. So. Who else knows?

SOOKIE: Not that many people.

LORELAI: Sookie..?

SOOKIE: Closing in on the whole town.

LORELAI: Great, so we're talking Ed Sheeran level of spilling.

SOOKIE: It's not that bad.

LORELAI: I'm Miley Cyrus at the VMA'S.

SOOKIE: (laughs) It's nothing like that.

LORELAI: Is that what you came to tell me?

SOOKIE: Ah. No. I figured out the perfect flowers for your wedding!

LORELAI: Ah yes. So, lay it on me.

SOOKIE: Mountain Laurels! (shows Lorelai a picture)

LORELAI: Awww, pretty. 

SOOKIE: Yes!

LORELAI: They are our state flower.

SOOKIE: And we gotta represent!

LORELAI: Sookie, I love them. Yes.

SOOKIE: Yes?

LORELAI: You've got the rubber stamp of approval from me.

LUKE: (walks over to the pair, holding a coffee pot) Hiya Sookie, want a cup of coffee?

SOOKIE: Yes, please Luke.

LUKE: So what is that (looking at the picture)

LORELAI: The flowers for our wedding, aren't they pretty?

LUKE: Not very manly.

LORELAI: Well flowers are girly and I'm a girl. 

LUKE: That much has been determined.

LORELAI: Hey if you don't like them, we can find something else.

LUKE: Nah, go ahead... 

LORELAI: You know, if we want, we can have bouquets of different fishing lures. You know, the rainbow ones?

LUKE: Oh, geez.

LORELAI: What? Fishing lures are manly right?

SOOKIE: Or maybe baseballs.

LORELAI: Yeah! We can glue a lump of baseballs together, you know, go modern.

LUKE: I talked, I shouldn't have. I regret it, and am backing away now.

Lorelai and Sookie huddle together, giggling.

~~Camera shows Rory getting off the bus, at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington, D.C. She trips on the cobblestone and her suitcase gets knocked over.

RORY: Oh, just perfect.

A hand is extended to Rory and she takes it and is pulled up from the ground.

LANDON CLARK: Are you alright? (British accent)

RORY: Oh, you're British (shocked)

LANDON: Only since the last time I checked. I'm Landon.

RORY: Hello Landon, I'm Rory. You just witnessed my first and hopefully last moment of clumsiness in this city.

LANDON: Are you planning to be clumsy in anymore cities? That'd be a show I'd kill to see.

RORY: British and witty.

LANDON: Yes those are the skills I put on my resumé.

RORY: Charming.

LANDON: One of my better qualities.

RORY: So what is a young lad like yourself doing so far across the pond?

LANDON: I'm here for the same reason everyone else is here. To live in the heart of politics.

RORY: Are you on the campaign for Obama too?

LANDON: Close.

RORY: Close?

LANDON: McCain.

RORY: How is that close? You're working with the enemy.

LANDON: The enemy, huh?

RORY: I mean, technically to me, yes.

LANDON: Mhm.

RORY: So that makes you my enemy.

LANDON: Your enemy?

RORY: Yes, I musn't associate with you anymore.

LANDON: And as your enemy, I have seen you in your weakest moment.

RORY: Which was?

LANDON: The fall. 

RORY: Oh, right, the fall.

LANDON: And I helped you recover.

RORY: As any upstanding citizen would.

LANDON: So you have to return the favor.

RORY: I didn't know that helping a fallen lady required a favor in this town.

LANDON: Oh yes, you must have a guide to help you learn the ropes.

RORY: I'm sure I'll have one.

LANDON: Okay. Where you staying?

RORY: Right here.

LANDON: Ah, the Washington Court Hotel, very nice.

RORY: I hope so.

LANDON: I'm staying there too. It's a popular place to host those on the campaign.

RORY: More politicians, I'm sure.

LANDON: So, I'll be seeing you.

RORY: It seems inevitable, doesn't it.

LANDON: (smiles) I'll see you around...

RORY: Rory.

LANDON: Right. Goodbye Rory.

RORY: G'bye Landon.
