TEXT: HOSPITAL - HALLWAY [Richard is walking with Lorelai, Rory and Emily down the hall.] LORELAI: You're looking good, dad. I'd say you shaved a few minutes off your last lap. If I had to guess, I'd think you're clocking in at about a 45-minute mile, which puts you just behind Mrs. Abalone. EMILY: Lorelai, really. RICHARD: I think that's an unfair comParison. Mrs. Abalone had her bypass two whole days before mine. LORELAI: No, no, no excuses. Your just gonna have to dig a little deeper. RORY: Come on grandpa, just visualize Mrs. Abalone eating your dust. EMILY: Rory, honestly. RICHARD: No, it's all right. [Richard walks faster] How's this? LORELAI: Wow, I would say we have a new slow-walk leader in the cardiac-recovery wing. Hey, do you hear that? [makes a sound] RORY: What, the crowd cheering? LORELAI: Whoo! RORY: Yeah, grandpa! EMILY: Would you two stop? You're making a scene. LORELAI: [using here hand as microphone] Mr. Gilmore, congratulations on your recent victory. Any opinions about the allegations of steroid use among your fellow athletes? RICHARD: Well I consider myself proof positive that it can be done... and done clean. EMILY: Richard, must you encourage them? RORY: Well excuse me, Emily. I'm getting a little stir crazy in this place. EMILY: Well you'll be getting out of here soon enough. Oh, I forgot to tell you -- Kate and Daniel Urman called to send their regards. RORY: Oh, hey, Mr. Gavelle. LORELAI: Looking good, Ira. EMILY: Well they sent a lovely floral arrangement to the house. Although personally I find white roses a little uninspiring. I think my favorite arrangement is still the one that Christopher sent.
