Gilmore Girls: Fight Face

Rory begins serving her 300 hours of community service and finds that life on a road crew is not pretty. Lorelai and Luke try to decide whether they will fix up Lorelai's house or buy the Twickham house. Luke's sister Liz begs him to hire her husband T.J. as a contractor. When Rory pays Luke a surprise visit at the diner to find out how Lorelai is, he feels obligated to tell her that he and Lorelai are engaged. Afterwards, Luke confronts Lorelai about her estrangement from Rory. Feeling lonely, Lorelai adopts a dog at the Stars Hollow pet fair. Finally, during a chance meeting, Lorelai and Rory have an angry confrontation about their mutual hurt feelings.

Episode Quotes
Lorelai: Sookie, look at my eyes.
Sookie: Okay.
Lorelai: How do they look?
Sookie: Pretty socked in there.
Lorelai: And there they will remain. Everything's good. Promise.
Sookie: Good. Pretty eyes, too.
Lorelai: I'm taken.
Sookie: Sorry.

T.J.: I hate that you've lost the little boy in you.
Luke: Don't cry for me.

Luke: Your mom and I are engaged.
Rory: (long pause) Engaged?
Luke: Yeah.
Rory: Wow. (near tears) Congratulations.
Luke: Thanks.

Lorelai: Repaying your debt to society, I assume.

Rory: You guys set a date yet?
Lorelai: Grandma re-decorate the pool house yet?
Rory: Be sure to send me a picture!
Lorelai: Be sure to send me a change of address card! Grandma can print them out for you with a little fleur-de-lis.
Rory: I'm not supposed to be talking to outsiders.
Lorelai: Fine.
(Lorelai starts to walk away)
Rory: You and Luke getting engaged and not telling me about it -- you hurt me!

Episode Goofs
When Lorelai is at Luke's, Luke gives her a to-go coffee cup. When he places the cup in front of her, it sounds hollow when it hits the counter, indicating there is no actual coffee in the cup.

T.J. talks about how he watched Bewitched on DVD. However, when this episode aired, Bewitched wasn't yet available on DVD.



Cultural References
Lorelai: (about Paul Anka) Doesn't he look like Happy?

Happy is the name of the Camden's dog on 7th Heaven.

Luke: I'm going to be like Michael Corleone dealing with his slimey brother-in-law.

Michael Corleone is Al Pacino's character from The Godfather trilogy.

Character Name: Paul Anka

Paul Anka is a singer-songwriter who has written hit songs for popular singers such as Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones.

Lorelai: And when I'm not laying down tracks I could rent it out to Korn or Iggy Pop or someone.

Korn is a metal band credited for starting the "nu metal genre" popular in the late 1990s.
Iggy Pop is a punk rocker credited as one of the most influential innovators of the punk rock genre.

Richard: I should tell Scooter Libby about this. I keep forgetting I know a man on the inside. I'll give him a call.
Emily: Before an indictment comes down.

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Jr. was President Bush's Chief of Staff prior to his indictment for perjury surrounding the leak of a CIA agent's identity. After his indictment, Libby resigned from his position.

Lorelai: Please. Don't give me the whole litany, especially one that sounds so much like a Kenny Chesney song.

Kenny Chesney is a popular country artist who is known for his laid-back, "island" style music.

Lorelai: "There's a frisbee on every suburban house in America," no less a luminary than Garrison Keillor says that.

Garrison Keillor is the host of the NPR radio show A Prairie Home Companion who often comments on the way things used to be.
