LORELAI: Hey. How's the food coming? I'm starving.
LUKE: Who was that?
LORELAI: Uh -
LUKE: It sounded like Christopher.
SOOKIE: Buh-bye. [She hurries into the kitchen.]
LORELAI: If you knew who it was, why'd you ask?
LUKE: Were you going to tell me he called?
LORELAI: Luke, yes.
LUKE: Well, why'd you turn the machine off when I walked in?
LORELAI [flustered]: It was a reflex.
LUKE: Reflex?
LORELAI: Yeah. I panicked, I didn't think. I looked up and you were standing there -
LUKE: How long has this been going on?
LORELAI: What?
LUKE: You talking to Christopher. I assume it's just talking, right?
LORELAI [insulted]: Yes! No! No, no talking. No anything. There's nothing going on.
LUKE: Fine. [He turns to go.]
LORELAI: Are you leaving?
LUKE: Burgers are done.
LORELAI: Let's talk about this!
LUKE: I don't want to argue in front of guests.
LORELAI: Last time we were over, Sookie breastfed Martha during appetizers. We owe them.
LUKE: I won't discuss this with people in the house. It's rude.
LORELAI: No, it's rude to silently sulk through dinner and make them feel incredibly uncomfortable because they know we're fighting and we're pretending we're not fighting.
LUKE: We're not fighting. Yet.

LUKE: I'm never going to be okay with Christopher being in your life.
LORELAI [sadly]: I'm always going to have Christopher in my life.
LUKE: Yeah.
LORELAI: He's Rory's father. I can't change that. Today was the first day I heard Christopher's voice in a year and I would have told you!
LUKE: We can't hide things from each other.
LORELAI: I know.
LUKE: I'm not going to like it when Christopher calls, but we have to tell each other everything.
LORELAI: Agreed.
LUKE: That's the only way this is going to work.
LORELAI: I know.
LUKE: You really hate the bedroom set?
LORELAI [shudders]: Oh, I really hate the bedroom set. I'm sorry I told you like that.
LUKE: Yeah, well. [He sighs.] So how are Sookie and Jackson doing?
LORELAI: I think they enjoyed watching a show for once that didn't have La-La playing the guitar.
LUKE: Come here.
LORELAI [sitting on his lap]: I want a Barbie and a pony and roller skates and roller skates for the Barbie and for the pony -
LUKE [kisses her]: No secrets.
LORELAI: Cross my heart and hope to die.
LUKE: No, I hate that saying.
LORELAI: No secrets. [They kiss again.] Luke.
LUKE: Yeah?
LORELAI: When I was in fifth grade, I told everybody that Eric Estrada was my boyfriend and that we used to make out on his motorcycle.
LUKE: Shh. [They kiss.]

GIRL: I need your hair.
LUKE: Excuse me?
GIRL: With the roots.
LUKE: For what?
GIRL: I go to Martin Van Buren Middle School, over in Woodbridge. Do you know it?
LUKE: No.
GIRL: Well, every year Samuel Pilotski wins the science fair. Now, it's very important that I beat him this year, because I hate him. This year I have the perfect project. I'm going to take hair samples from three men, run DNA tests on them and figure out which one's my father!
LUKE: What?
GIRL: My uncle works for a lab in Hartford, so he’s going to oversee me. But I'll be doing all the actual work myself.
LUKE: I'm sorry, did you say your father?
GIRL: Yes. See, science fairs have gotten so political lately. It's no longer the simple act of science being appreciated. There's got to be a twist, a gimmick. Something flashy. I figure this is perfect. Real science, DNA testing, with a flash of human drama. Who's My Daddy? Huh? Catchy, right?

LUKE [points at the display]: So, I guess, uh -
GIRL: Yeah. It's you.
LUKE: And you're sure?
GIRL: Absolutely. You want to see my report?
LUKE: Uh, yeah. [She hands him a booklet.] Oh, it's big! [He opens it.] Wow, you sure wrote a lot of things here. Hey, wait, there's a word in here I know. [He closes the book.] So, you're, uh, smart, huh?
GIRL: Never been tested.
LUKE: But you did all this so you must be smart. [He looks at the booklet again.] April Nardini. So your last name is Nardini?
APRIL: Yes.
LUKE: So your mom is - [he thinks for a moment] - Anna?
APRIL: Yes.
LUKE: Oh, Anna! Wow. I haven't seen Anna in -
APRIL: About twelve years.
LUKE: Yeah! So, uh, how is she? Is she good?
APRIL: Yes.
LUKE: Well, you know, that's - Anna Nardini. [He begins breathing deeply.] Oh, boy. Uh, I think I have to sit down.
APRIL; You want my stool?
LUKE: Yeah, thanks. [He sits down.] I'm just a - a little overwhelmed, here.
APRIL: You want a Capri Sun?
LUKE: No, that's okay. [He stares at her.] So, I'm your father.
APRIL: Yes.
LUKE: I didn't know about you.
APRIL: I know.
LUKE: If I did I would've, uh -
[Some people walk by, looking at April's project.]
LUKE: Yeah, it's me. Hi. [They keep walking.] I think I'm better now. [He stand up.]
APRIL: Are you sure?
LUKE: Yeah, it's fine.
APRIL: Okay.

RORY: Oh, I'm sorry!
LORELAI: You're sorry, I'm sorry.
RORY: I was so mixed up.
LORELAI: I should have pulled you out of there.
RORY: I was stupid!
LORELAI: No, I was stupid!
RORY: I was more stupid!
LORELAI: Uh, boy, time to get you back to Yale!
RORY: I love you, Mom.
LORELAI [sniffles, holding her tight]: Oh, kid, you have no idea.
