TEXT: OPEN IN THE TOWN SQUARE [Lorelai and Rory are walking down the sidewalk.] RORY: It's culs-de-sac. LORELAI: No way! RORY: It is. LORELAI: The plural of cul-de-sac is culs-de-sac? RORY: Yes. LORELAI: That doesn't even sound like English. RORY: That's because it's French. LORELAI: You know what I mean. RORY: I hate to be the bearer of bad news. LORELAI: Words should sound right to be right. RORY: That's not how it works. LORELAI: So, what, the plural of yo-yo is yos-yo? RORY: Yeah, 'cause that sounds so natural. LORELAI: As natural as culs-de-sac. [They walk into Luke's Diner, where Lane is waitressing.] LORELAI: Hey, when did Lane start working here? RORY: Oh, a couple of days ago. She filled out an application, and Luke brought her in for an interview and everything. LORELAI: An interview? So official. RORY: Yeah. They sat in complete silence for a full five minutes, then Luke said, "How ya doing?" and she said "Good," and then he gave her the job. LORELAI: So what do we get out of this? RORY: What do you mean? LORELAI: We got someone on the inside now, a friend of ours. RORY: And out of it we could get? LORELAI: The secret things he keeps back there. RORY: His showgirl costume. LORELAI: Extra jelly packets, butter, discarded day-old bread. RORY: But we get that when we go dumpster driving. LORELAI: This'll be easier on our shoes. [Luke walks over to their table] LORELAI: Hey, Luke. LUKE: Look at this. LORELAI: Who, Lane? She's super wait
SUMMARY:
Luke becomes overwhelmed by Lane's work ethic when he hires her to work at the diner; Michel exhibits a profound jealousy of Tobin; Emily and Richard find the treats they brought home from Switzerland are widely panned; Rory is less than thrilled with the new man in Paris' life, especially when she learns that he's teaching her contemporary political fiction class; as Lorelai and Jason grow closer, she begs him to keep their relationship a secret from her parents; Rory's talent for millinery combines with her talent for writing to win her a position on the "Daily Yale"; inexplicably, Sookie and Jackson allow Michel to babysit for Davey, forcing Lorelai to come to the rescue when Michel, not being one to fail to disappoint, needs to get himself and Davey out from under a problem; Richard becomes intensely irritated when the Chez Gilmore walking tour benefiting the Historical Society overstays its welcome.
