LORELAI: It's okay.
DEREK: 'Cause I can drive.
LORELAI: Oh, sweetie, I am sure you can. Listen, we'll just take it over to Musky's tomorrow and have the guys look at it. I'm sure they can buff it out for nothing, okay?
DEREK: Okay. That's a real nice outfit you're wearing today.
LORELAI: Thank you, Derek.
[Derek walks off, Michel walks over]
MICHEL: Once again, your faithful pooch is here to say, please come back to the desk, someone needs to talk with you.
LORELAI: It's not my mother, is it?
MICHEL: It's possible.
[Lorelai looks over at the front desk, where Ian Jack, the man from Chilton, is waiting]
LORELAI: It's possible?
MICHEL: There's a resemblance.
LORELAI: Hm.
[Lorelai walks to the front desk]
LORELAI: Hi.
IAN: Hi. Is this a bad time?
LORELAI: No, not at all. What are you doing here?
IAN: Well, I had to meet an associate for lunch and he was coming up from New York, so I thought, why not meet him at a beautiful inn?
LORELAI: Well, good. Enjoy your lunch.
IAN: Thanks, I will.
LORELAI: Okay.
IAN: And I was also wondering if maybe I could take you out to dinner sometime.
LORELAI: We're a little food-obsessed, aren't we?
IAN: Well, it's the company more than the food that interests me.
LORELAI: I'm flattered.
IAN: Is that a yes?
LORELAI: That's a. . .you're a dad.
IAN: And you're a mom. Although I'm still finding that really hard to believe.
LORELAI: No, I mean, you're a Chilton dad.
IAN: Ooh, that sounds bad.
LORELAI: Not bad, just tricky. You know, Rory just started there, and I think I should let her fall in with the bad crowd before I start hooking up with the P.T.A.
IAN: Well, I'm not on the P.T.A.
LORELAI: Oh, see, there you go, I can't date anybody not on the P.T.A.
IAN: Look, it's just a casual dinner.
LORELAI: Sorry. [she walks around to the other side of the desk]
IAN: Okay, I'll tell you what. I'm going to China for a week on business, and when I get back, I'm gonna try again
LORELAI: China, wow.
IAN: Impressed?
LORELAI: No. Rome, I'd be impressed. China, I'm just "China, wow".
IAN: [laughs. he picks up a business card from the desk] Okay, Lorelai Gilmore, General Manager, I'll talk to you soon.
LORELAI: Have a safe trip.
