TEXT: ANNOUNCER: When Last Season ended, a long awaited romance began, a marriage began to fall apart, and an unexpected mistake. Now as the new season begins, a new love grows, a reckless desire continues, and the Gilmores' unbreakable bond lies in jeopardy. And now, we'll take you back to the moment that changed everything. OPEN IN LORELAI GILMORE FRONT YARD [Long view of Rory's bedroom window] DEAN: [OS] I love you, Rory. RORY: [OS] I love you, too, Dean. CUT TO RORY'S BEDROOM [Rory and Dean lie together in her single bed, following their lovemaking] RORY: Are you comfortable? Am I killing your arm? DEAN: My arm is fine. RORY: I could move. DEAN: Don't you dare move. RORY: This right here, is -- the textbook definition of a perfect moment. DEAN: Yeah, it is. RORY: And earlier? [pause] DEAN: That was pretty perfect too. However, as a guy, I was trying not to be a pig. [kisses her shoulder gently] RORY: And I'm happy, are you happy? DEAN: I'm very happy. RORY: [smiling] Happy, but not chatty? DEAN: I'm just... trying to make sure that all this is really happening. RORY: It is. [they kiss] Hey, you know what I think we need? DEAN: What? RORY: A song. Like a song that's "our song". DEAN: Okay. RORY: Something romantic, but not mushy, something that will make us remember this. DEAN: [chuckle] Ah, believe me, I'm remembering this. RORY: Oh, I know. [She reaches over to the nightstand and loads a nearby CD into her player and turns it on.] Okay. Perfect. So, from now on, no matter what you're doing, where you are, you'll stop and think of me when you hear this [clicks remote on. Sammy Davis Jr.
