TEXT: LORELAI'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM [Lorelai is sitting on the couch, she has called Emily, who is at home] EMILY: Hello? Gilmore residence. LORELAI: Hey, mom, it's me. I just wanted to leave you a message letting you know that unfortunately I will not be able to come by tonight to take a look at your new curtains. EMILY: Lorelai, it's me. LORELAI: So, sorry I missed you, but... EMILY: You didn't miss me. For heaven's sakes, I'm right here. LORELAI: Hello? EMILY: Hello? Lorelai? LORELAI: Hello? EMILY: Hello? LORELAI: Huh. That's weird. I don't know if your machine just cut me off. EMILY: [Shaking the cordless phone] Is something wrong with this phone? LORELAI: Anyway, uh, something came up, and I just have to take a rain check on the curtain check. I'm sure they're beautiful. No one knows how to pick out curtains like you. You're the curtain queen. [Meanwhile Emily was also talking "Rain check, Lorelai I'm right here, I'm on the phone, Lorelai"] EMILY: Hello? Lorelai, can you hear me? LORELAI: Anyway, have a good night, curtain queen. Give my best to dad. Bye. EMILY: Lorelai? Hello? Hello? LORELAI: [Too Chris as he puts his arm around her] See? I told you it would work. CHRISTOPHER: Wow. How did you even think to... LORELAI: Well, it's natural instincts honed by years of experience. CHRISTOPHER: Wow. LORELAI: Yeah. Fight or flight, you know. Fight or flight and I just did my nails, so... CHRISTOPHER & LORELAI: Flight. [They Kiss] CHRISTOPHER
