TEXT: 2.04 - The Road Trip to Harvard OPEN INSIDE LORELAI'S JEEP LORELAI: Ah. No music. I can't believe we forgot to bring tunes. RORY: Do you realize that neither of us has the vaguest idea where we are? LORELAI: What is a road tip without tunes? RORY: The sun is directly behind us. LORELAI: Never been in this car for any extended period of time without playing AC/DC. RORY: I have no idea which way it's going. LORELAI: I need my "Highway to Hell." RORY: It's right out the windshield there. LORELAI: There's nothing on the radio but Top 40 and Christian Rock. Christian Rock, there's an oxymoron for you. I need my tunes. RORY: Stop complaining about the tunes! LORELAI: Stop complaining about our whereabouts. RORY: Well, my complaint is legitimate, yours is infantile. LORELAI: Okay, you're right. [turns on radio] Ooh, ooh, yee-haw, yes. Country music, must be my lucky day. RORY: [turns off radio] We have to figure out where we're going. LORELAI: No we don't. RORY: Mom. LORELAI: The point of this is to be spontaneous. To drive and land someplace we've never been and never expected to be. RORY: Sounds risky. LORELAI: Sounds exciting. RORY: Serendipity has never been kind to us. LORELAI: Ah, yes, but I talked to serendipity on the phone last night. She feels bad about how she's treated us in the past. We had a nice chat. It's all gonna be different now. RORY: What did that sign say? It said "Don't" or "Death" on it. LORELAI: Relax. RORY: We're doomed! LORELAI: Wrong. We're being guided by fate. RORY: I think we're lost. LORELAI: We can
