TEXT: OPEN AT YALE DORM [There's a knock on the door of Rory's suite. Rory opens it and Lorelai is there, holding a box and a rolled-up rug] LORELAI: Hey, you know what's great about you going off to college? RORY: My newfound independence? LORELAI: Oh, no. My new batch of youth-oriented catalogs. For example, where on Earth could I put this fabulous purple flowered rug? It's so young and cool but doesn't really go with my room, so... RORY: My room. LORELAI: Ooh! The matching beanbag chair arrives next week. RORY: I love it when you miss me. LORELAI: Oh, it's not that I miss you. It's just since you've been gone, I finally realized how the living room stayed so clean. RORY: Mmhmm. What do you think? LORELAI: It works. RORY: Thank you. LORELAI: You're welcome. So, Sookie sent marshmallow cookies, Luke sent muffins, and I got you a copy of the Stars Hollow Gazette. RORY: You don't have to bring that to me anymore. I subscribed. LORELAI: You subscribed to the Stars Hollow Gazette? The editor of the Stars Hollow Gazette does not subscribe to the Stars Hollow Gazette. RORY: I didn't want to get cut off from the town. LORELAI: That's very sweet of you. Hey, you wanna grab some coffee before I head back? RORY: Can't. LORELAI: Why? RORY: It's shopping week. LORELAI: Isn't it always? RORY: The first week of school is called shopping week. You get to try out as many classes as you want before you pick the ones you want to stick with for the semester. I picked over fifty classes I'm gonna try out, plus another ten I'm gonna squeeze in if I have the time. They all sound completely amazing. I stayed up all night reading the class subscriptions over and over. LORELA
