TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] (OPEN in front of the Twickham House, night. Lorelai & Sookie are standing there, looking up at it) LORELAI: It's big SOOKIE: That's what she said. LORELAI: Good one SOOKIE: Hey, I'm still twelve. LORELAI: I meant the house. It's very big. SOOKIE: Very sweet of Luke to have that dream of his. You two living in this house! LORELAI: What do you think there are? Twelve rooms? SOOKIE: At least! I mean you can really go to town in this place. You could have a dedicated sewing room. I mean, that's a no-brainer. LORELAI: Are you kidding? I could put a whole loom in one of those rooms. Indulge my long harboured desire to make tapestries SOOKIE: You've been long harbouring that one? LORELAI: I just thought of it, but yeah! SOOKIE: So it's all feeling good, huh? LORELAI: Well it's a little on the Versailles side. I mean I have to keep an eye out for peasants with pitchforks. SOOKIE: I meant the relationship. You're engaged for Gosh sakes! LORELAI: Yes! I'm aware! SOOKIE: And sticking? LORELAI: Yes, Sookie, it's sticking! SOOKIE: Good, good!... How 'bout now? LORELAI: I'm totally re-evaluating the whole thing. SOOKIE: Really? LORELAI: (exasperated) NO! SOOKIE: Well...You've got priors! LORELAI: Sookie! SOOKIE: You say one thing, but your heart says another. LORELAI: Please! Don't give me the whole litany. Especially one that sounds so much like a Kenny Chesney song. SOOKIE: I'm just being honest. LORELAI: (determined) I'm not going to bolt. I'm staying put.
