CUT TO STARS HOLLOW
[It's nighttime. Lorelai, Rory, and Lane are walking down the sidewalk eating slices of pizza.]
LANE: It was so weird not having you in school today. I mean, I finally noticed some of the other kids, and let me just say, they are a sad lot.

LANE: I totally miss you.
RORY: I miss you.
LORELAI: Hey guys, I have an idea. What about, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you know, when I go into Hartford for my business class, what if Lane comes along, and you guys can shop and study and join a cult and shave your heads.
LANE: Really?
LORELAI: All except the shaving your heads part.
LANE: Oh, no. What time is it?
RORY: 6:30
LANE: I'm late for dinner.
LORELAI: Again? Lane, your mother is gonna kill me if I keep sending you home fed and happy.
LANE: I'm sorry, but she found a web site that sells Tofu in bulk.
LORELAI: Oh, you're kidding, right?
LANE: Yesterday, she went out and bought a bigger fridge.
LORELAI: Boy, now, your life is scary.
LANE: [to Rory] Can I have your crust?
RORY: [hands her the pizza crust] It's the least I can do.
LANE: Thanks. Bye.
RORY: Bye.
