TEXT: OPEN ON THE SIDEWALK [Lorelai and Rory are walking toward Luke's Diner] LORELAI: "Twenty-three is old. It's almost twenty-five, which is, like, almost mid-twenties." RORY: She did not say that. LORELAI: She did say that. RORY: It seems a little wrong that Jessica Simpson is alive and well and Roy got eaten by his tiger. LORELAI: Aw. Survival of the fittest, baby. [They walk into the diner] LORELAI: Oh, man, this place is packed. RORY: Damn that Zagat guide. LORELAI: Only the loser mini-table is open. RORY: What do we do? LORELAI: Time to hover. You take the old couple, I'll hit the cybergeek. RORY: Got it. [walks over to an older couple eating] Hello. LORELAI: [walks over to a guy working on a laptop] Hello. [A few minutes later, they slide two tables together and sit down] LORELAI: That was some of the best hovering I've ever seen you do. RORY: I was taught by the best. LORELAI: But the focus - you never blinked. And the sneeze - so tiny, so dainty, so terrifying to the old. RORY: Luke's gonna be mad. I mean, he hates it when we commandeer two tables during rush hour. LORELAI: Oh, he only hated it that one time. RORY: What time? LORELAI: The time when we did it and he was mad. RORY: He's hated it every time we've done it. LORELAI: No. RORY: Yeah. LORELAI: No, only the one time. RORY: Which time? LORELAI: The time we did it and he was mad. RORY: You're gonna do this to Luke, aren't you? LORELAI: 'Til he's so dizzy he throws up. RORY:
