TEXT: 2.12 - Richard in Stars Hollow OPEN AT ELDER GILMORE RESIDENCE [Lorelai and Rory have just arrived] LORELAI: Thanks. Man, is it cold out there. RORY: I know, I'm freezing. EMILY: Well, come on in and sit by the fire. I'll make you both a drink and then we can talk. RORY: About what? LORELAI: Antennas up. RORY: Aye aye, captain. [they walk to the living room] EMILY: So Lorelai, how are you? LORELAI: Um, I'm fine Mom. EMILY: Rory? RORY: I'm fine too, Grandma. LORELAI: How are you Mom? EMILY: Also fine. LORELAI: Oh, look at that. All three of us fine, just like the Judds. EMILY: So Lorelai, are you dating? LORELAI: Uh, hm, no, I'm not dating. EMILY: Really? There's no one at all? LORELAI: No, totally single. EMILY: Any chance you'd get back with Max? LORELAI: No Mom, there's no chance. EMILY: What about the man at the diner, the one who refuses to shave? LORELAI: Luke, he's just a friend Mom. EMILY: Do you think you'll be single your entire life? LORELAI: Excuse me? EMILY: I mean, in terms of your finding someone, what do you think the odds are? LORELAI: Okay, what is going on? EMILY: Well, I visited the family mausoleum today. LORELAI: Never what you think it's gonna be! EMILY: I just wanted to check on things, make sure they were keeping it up, changing the flowers, you know. LORELAI: Uh huh. EMILY: So I went inside and looked around and it occurred to me that there's a very limited space there.
