(Doyle storms off; Rory sighs and pick up Glenn's copy of the New York Times.) (Puts Gigi back in the crib.) (She chases after her.) (Turns to leave.) And I'm thrilled and delighted that Norman Mailer is coming in here every day and sitting at a table for four and ordering nothing at all, but tea! And get to work. Anything to add to that? Apple again. However, another option would be staying here, ordering pizza, and eating dinner on the living room floor on paper plates. It said that Sherry had been offered a job in Paris and she had decided to take it. LOGAN: The other way. LORELAI: Can I get some more iced tea for the table? LORELAI: Hey, get a grip. LORELAI: Huh, they are? LORELAI: Sookie, we're dropping lunch. PARIS: I dreamed that in spite of the fact that you knew I wanted to be assigned the religion beat, you went behind my back to Doyle, cooked him dinner and stole it from me. RORY: I want you to stay away from her. RORY: My story - we were picking a story. RORY: When? Sounds like a hell of a scoop. Temporarily. When? You have a full staff for a basically empty dining room. [Dragonfly Inn: dining room]
SOOKIE: Norman Mailer! [Rory's Dorm Room: common room]
Rory (on the phone): I already have a ton of data and pages of research and, ooh, the best thing is, Nancy, this girl on the fourth floor, her father was the guy who ran security at the gallery when Lars Ulrich sold all his art and he said he would try to get him on the phone for an interview and I've gotta breathe now. [Yale newspaper office]
