• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like it's no big deal. Actually they were. It was
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: like a big deal. So you think Rory and Laura
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: La I are now starting to realize how hard it
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: might be to thrive in the real world outside of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: stars Hollow.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Gosh, thrive in the real world. And then also the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: reality of like, oh, this is a thing, this thing, this,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: this is a thing that might happen. I do have
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to tell you, when I first started watching last night
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: this episode, I put it in and it was this
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: this episode and they got the application, and then like
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: when Netflix, I guess jumped and all of a sudden
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: it was like she was just meeting Dean and we
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: were just meeting the mother, and I was like, this
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: feels weird because I've watched Gilmore Girls like eight hundred
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: times and I was like and I was like, oh, okay,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I get it. Noe. So I had gone back to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the pilot like Netflix had, and so I had to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: go back and I was like, Okay, this feels much
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: more like calm, and I understand where we are right now.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: So then I was like back into the world and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, okay, everybody's where I need them to be.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to Harvard. I'm back in I can't.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And Paris and Rory air holding a seminar on applying
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to college, and the advisors are sharing mistakes Africans make.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: They get Rory worried because she was going to do
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: exactly what they mentioned not to.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I would write an essay on Hillary Clinton. I love
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I do say.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Paris says that when she first started writing her her
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: first trial essay at twelve, because of course Paris would
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right. And Emily's trying to get involved in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Rory's college application. Rory arrives late Friday night dinner, freaking
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: out that she isn't getting in because she's become a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I guess in her eyes a cliche to the admissions
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: office at Harvard, and Laurel I starts to freak out too.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You know, that scene in the in Richard's office was
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: really great. It was one of the It was one
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of the more fun scenes I've seen those two do
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: what they're freaking out about.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Any anytime you get them on screen. I do. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: want to know what I'm stuck on Paris. I want
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to know what Paris's essay is about, Like, who's she
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: writing about? What of her thirty essays? Who is she
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: writing about?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know who was who was she? I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: know that they revealed that there's so many places you
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: could go. I mean, should we speculate?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm not that smart. That's the thing.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Who do you think she's? Who do you think she
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: looks up to?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It? She wants to he's so obscure.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Or Tom Stalin?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Who somebody like that? Or in the most charming way,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: it's herself, but like in a way that is perfect.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Lizzie Borden who Reilly?
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Laurela meets with Headmaster Charles and he passed along Harvard
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: alumnus contact and they go to Darren Springsteen's house to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: have lunch. Wh this was this was pretty good. One
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the Springsteen kids isn't on the Harvard bound conveyor belt.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You think Rory recognizes her? What was her name? Mary?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I think Mary as someone similar to her own mother
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: when she meets her, putting on her bunny costume.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Mother mother and a little bit herself too, like in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a weird way, because she gets the funny the funny references, right,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Is it okay to say creepy? The brother and the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: sister coming in from tennis were a little creepy, creepy.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And they play that game at lunch.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I can't fathom. I was thinking about if
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I was at that lunch, how awkward I would be.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I can do it?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's that was something, all right. Now Dean
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: gets insecure about him only going to junior college, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: this is is this the beginning really of the destruction
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of Dean? It's the first Is this the first time
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: we've seen Dean really start getting a little whiny because
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I haven't. He's been great so far, right, and then boy,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: he really just goes down, down, down, suggests that they
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: break up if she goes off to college. Rory convinces
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: him she won't. They brush it off and they continue
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: their date. But she's really like she's a little startled,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: isn't she. She's like, Wow, where did that come from?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Where did that big dose of insecurity coming out of Dean?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: It seems early to have that talk too, Yeah, going
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to Harvard yet, Like, what would that be that? Where
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: are we in the timeline? It's still like what the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: beginning semester of schools?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Buddy, you gotta calm down, you know. And I think
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: how you know her fix? Well, I'll study during the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: week and then I'll come home. I think I think
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: her fix for that was completely unrealistic, which is why
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we have that scene. You know, she's not going to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: do that. She's not going to come home every weekend.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: She won't be able to. She'll make friends, she'll be busy,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: she'll be in clubs, she'll be doing a lot of
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: reading and a lot of homework over the weekend. It's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the only time she probably can do it. So, Yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: he was seeing the handwriting on the wall.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: He just wanted to God bless him, Like maybe he's.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Not wrong, but he's not wrong, But it's like, not
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the way to play it. I guess tough for a kid, right.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And then there's more red flags with Dean, but you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he brings up their relationship status when she leavesn't and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to suggest they break up. I mean this is to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: even bring that into the universe. I think it's not
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the smartest thing in the world. But I guess he
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: trusts her and he wants to talk openly about it
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and it's on his mind and he feels comfortable with her,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and why not, right, I mean, the difference in priorities
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: is a recipe for disaster coming. Why do you think
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Rory continues to anr the red flags with Dean?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, because when you're that age, you don't see
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: them as red flags, right, You just it's popularve and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you love the boy and he's very very cute and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: he's very very sweet, I think.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Is right.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: He's like he's he's like the perfect boyfriend. Is he's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: acting like a mature man in an an evolved adult
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: relationship and being great and he's a kid and he's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: doing it. That's really not the time to do it,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: It's impulsive, impetuous.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: And really.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Elene is looking for a bandmate, and she places an
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: ad for a bandmate. She's being particular about her influences. Uh,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: She's getting phone calls at Rory and Laurel's house. And finally,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Dave Rigalski Okay leaves a messaged and and he and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: he approaches her Lane at the town after a town meeting,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and she's very impressed with him. He lets her listen
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to a demo of his band and she lets slip
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: out that she loves him. So she's finally following through
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: on her musical dreams. How do you think she's pulling
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: this off from missus Kim? I mean, she's hiding all
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: this from her mother. How's she doing that?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: This Lane's musical taste is so impressive? And this is
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: how I know that Dan Dan Sherman Palladino wrote this
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: episode because I can hear his voice and his musical
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: influences in it. But like Lane listens to a lot
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: of music that her mother never finds out about. It's
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: actually really impressive. But then, of course, like has Adam
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Brodie ever not been completely adorable? Like he's he's very
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: very good at that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm right, I love him right, Well, there's instant
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: sparks between the two of them, and I think we
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: know what your first impression of him is. Yeah, he
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: just came on and killed it and uh, you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: became that character that they wanted to retain. But I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: think the o c scooped him up before the Warners
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: had a chance to to sign him to a deal.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I guess you know, it's all those young guys. They
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: all left the show, right, They all tried, They went
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: off to bigger and better things, left us all holding
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the bag. You know, here we are. We'll just take
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it from here. Guys, thanks a lot, Thanks for coming.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: All right, so now we can deal with Luke and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the building next door. Lucy's Taylor taking photos of the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: building next door, which Luke's own. I thought that was
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: particularly funny when when together, isn't that just one.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: It's just he's so great, He's so funny.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Isn't Taylor just the best? And when he gets caught
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: when he sees me spying on him, he just stands
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: straight up.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: So good two are good foes together. That's a good
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: head to head match. I do love that Luke knew
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: what what was it? A chocolate phosphorus was but not
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: an egg cream or a black cow, or maybe Luke.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Was just chocolate phosphate. That is it a phosphate or
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a phosphorus.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: You think Taylor's being too harsh about the soda shop,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you think he's being too persistent. It's Taylor, Yeah, that's Taylor,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: right maybe, but also now I think both of them
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: are a little harsh, right, which makes it work.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: So well, that's a hard headed man against a hard
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: headed man.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Right exactly. And you know, these kids come in start
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: ordering these you know, throwback soda drinks, and Kirk comes in,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: he orders a soda fountain drink, and then it comes
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to the diner, and then Luke catches on finally, so
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: he confronts Taylor about it, and Taylor tries to convince
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: him to open a soda shop, and Luke says, no way.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Great scene.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: By the way, yeah, that's when we first find out
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: that you own that right space, right right?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know why he's so upset about it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: He owns the space, it's empty, rented out. What's the problem.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: It's because it's Taylor. Anybody but Taylor, anything but that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And then we get the town meeting. That was
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a good town meeting.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I love the town meeting. I think about it if
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I was in the show, how much I would love
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to film those, although I bet they were probably like
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: also not fun at the same time, just having everybody in.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: The Why do you think they weren't fun?
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Because it's a lot of people and a lot of
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: just sitting, right, like a day of shooting. Way to
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: do that in the football stands and Friday night lights
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and it was just like the stands forever, everybody's together
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: in the same place.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: But you're it's a nighttime. You're usually filling Friday night lights.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: It's all in the nighttime, full like full nights in
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the morning.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Right, So it's so it's cold, right, it's cold at
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: night in Texas, right, it can be. It can be.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So you're sitting there all night doing those all those crowd.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Scenes, reaction shots.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Reaction shots all. Yeah, it takes forever. It takes forever.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: The thing about the thing about the town hall meetings
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: is it's it's intensely hot in there because they you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: they shoot during the day and they shoot all day,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: so they tint it off and it's you know, it's Burbank.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: It's one hundred degrees. You're in winter clothes. It's it's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one hundred and thirty degrees in there.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: It's really it was really like, yeah, a lot of tissue.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: They're going through a lot of tissue, just dabbing people. Yeah,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: blooding everybody, all right, And now we get to this uh,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: this wonderful Darren Springsteen arc. He leaves a message for
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Rory saying she is the perfect candidate and that she
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: is basically in Harvard, and it's this this last beat
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Rory and Laurla I start to realize she's she's gonna
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: leave it, and how will her being away from college
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: affect their dynamic? And there's that that Laura l after
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the town hall meeting looking after a daughter, and Dean
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: walking into Luke's and realizing she's going to be gone.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: So it's a nice moment.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: That's the through line of this episode. It's like jan
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: realizes and then Jackson wants to use her room and
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: put his tools.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: In there, and like, oh my god, like it's so
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: pick too. I like to put my my ancient hose
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and shovels and picks in.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Your like the heavy.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Can I store them in Rory's room? Well you're not
• 14:48

  Speaker 2: God, yeah, put my rusty old tools in your.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Daughter's mister sensitive. Right, Thanks a lot there, Jackson.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Parking. Theme of this seems to be like everyone is
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: starting to realize, like is going to go away.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Huh. But that's a Dan Palladino episode. I love his episode.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: It's Dan Palladino episode. Dan used to on. Buttheads loved
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: to give me a list and it was just a
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: list of whatever. Like one time it was a list
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: of news anchors or a list of like things that
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I loved, and it would be half a page. And
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: he told me that he did it because it made
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: him laugh to see me try to like memorize it,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and like that was his that was his thing that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: he would do with me. So I would get a
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: script and I'd be like, oh, God, here we go.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: What am I doing? What am I doing? This time?

  Speaker 2: the dean of the Acting Center at the University of

• 21:12
  Speaker 2: turn down the job, I don't want to tell any
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: more of that story. Our series finale to me was

  Speaker 2: connect every week and like chat and then we brought
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: on our friends and chatted to them on the show.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: So it was like, yeah, I think I want to
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: do this, so I did. I had to sit down
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: and watch the show, and it was probably eight ten
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: years after we had done it, so it was enough
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: that I wasn't like freaking out, except then I was like,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: holy crap, it's a really good show. Like I knew
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: it was good, but I didn't know it was that good,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: and I was so fully invested in it. It's a
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: really good show.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I had the same experience with Gi. I had no
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: idea how good the show was.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: You love it?

• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I sometimes put on close captioning just because I'm getting
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: older now and Gilmore girls sometimes, especially when it's Laura Lies.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: She talks so fast that the closed captioning can't keep
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: up with it. And it makes my heart happy because I'm.
