Stars Hollow Gazette II

Gilmore Girls

Season 1

Episode 2: The Lorelai's First Day at Chilton

Plot: Rory starts Chilton with Lorelai not waking up on time - and wearing cut off shorts with cowboy boots to meet the new headmaster. If that wasn't bad enough on it's own, Emily decided to be there since she & Richard are old friends of Hanlin Charleston.

Rory meets Paris - her new enemy. Paris instantly hates Rory because she's also a journalism major & will most likely be going out for the Franklin school paper. This is solidified further when Rory's locker gets jammed and when it finally opens she is flung backwards into Paris's history project - a full ceramic model of a castle with water in the moat - wrecking it completely. Rory informs the teacher that she was to blame for Paris not having her project but Paris refuses to allow Rory to help fix it by the next class.

This is also one of the clearest hints that Luke is totally in love with Lorelai. She tells him that a Chilton dad drove all the way to the Independence Inn to ask her out but that she turned him down. Luke verifies that she turned him down then says 'good!'. Then he tries to play it off that it would be ackward for Rory - though the veil is very thin and you see that glimpse of recognition in Lorelai's eyes.

You also first meet Babette as she has to call Lorelai about some men prowling around her house. She also informs her not to trust these guys cause they kicked one of her gnomes. Then states: 'Gnome kicking says a lot about a man's character'.
Lorelai then heads next door to her house where you first meet Kirk (named Mick in this episode since he wasn't set to be a regular in the series until this odd performance). He's there at Emily's request to install a DSL for Rory - but hit a snag when they couldn't find the ceramic frog with the key in it to open the house up. Lorelai kindly pushes him away since she prefers not to have her mother that involved in her life - nor does she want to live off the family money.

Funny Bits:

Miss Patty is seen teaching an etiquite class to some young girls as Lorelai is going to Luke's for coffee. She states: 'Now, walk smooth. That's the new Harry Potter on your heads. If they should drop, Harry will die, and there won't be anymore books.'

Great Dialogs:

Rory: I remember it being smaller...

Lorelai: Yeah! And less...

Rory: Off with their heads!

Lorelai: Yeah!

Rory: What are you looking at?

Lorelai: I'm just trying to see if there's a hunchback up in that bell tower...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sookie: They're smaller than the last batch.

Jackson: No, they're not.

Sookie: Smaller means watery. No good peach taste.

Jackson: No, there's plenty of peach taste... being as they're, you know, peaches.

Sookie: What about the ones on the bottom?

Jackson: Oh great. No. Be sure to check them all. That's it. Give every last one of them a nice, good squeeze. You wouldn't want to leave me one that I could actually sell to somebody else. Wait a minute, you missed one. Now I'm not going to tell you which one it is. I'm just going to let your impeccably good radar... There it is, you got it!

Lorelai: Okay! I look great, right?

Sookie: Yes.

Lorelai: Yes, see. This is how I was supposed to look this morning. Morning, Jackson.

Sookie: Oh, my god, today was Rory's first day.

Lorelai: Yes, and I was supposed to look together and fabulous. Not like I'd been up all night playing quarters.

Sookie: Nobody cares how you looked.

Lorelai: Everybody cared.

Sookie: Who?

Lorelai: The other moms, the headmaster. My mom, Luke, Miss Patty, the new fire chief with the tiny little head.

Sookie: Taste this.

Lorelai: Hmmm. A little watery.

Jackson: Oh - now you planned this!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Michele: There's a phone call for you. And if I'm to come and fetch you like a little dog, I want a cookie and a raise.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Old Ladies: There are supposed to be darling little shops all up and down this street. Oh, excuse me sir. Can you tell me where we can find the best antiques?

Michele: At your house, I'd guess.

Rory: One of the girls already hates me. The guys are weird.

Lorelai: Weirder than other guys?

Rory: Yeah, they kept calling me Mary.

Lorelai: You're kidding me. Wow! I can't believe they still say that.

Rory: Why? What does it mean?

Lorelai: Mary, like Virgin Mary. It means they think you look like a goody-goody.

Rory: You're kidding.

Lorelai: No.

Rory: Well, what would they have called me if they thought I looked like a slut?

Lorelai: Well, they might have added a Magdalene to it.

Rory: Wow, biblical insults. This is an advanced school.
