Robert: Generic, unfocused, and so's your mother style comeback. You're off your game, Hunt.
Logan: I'll work on a better retort and get back to you.
Robert: [to Rory] So, you covering this?
Rory: Pardon me?

Robert: I'm in.
Logan: Dont be a jerk, Robert.
Robert: What?
Logan: You bet without looking at your cards. Look at your cards.
Robert: I dont need to, with Rory here.
Colin: I hate it when he does that.
Logan: [to Rory] You wanna a drink?
Rory: Me? Well, actually I dont know how long I'm gonna stay, so I'm good for now.
Logan: Alright. Well, the way its going, I may not last until the next drink, either

[Rory wakes up on the couch]
Logan: Morning there, Ace. How did you sleep?
Robert: For the record, you dont snore.
Colin: We'd be happy to sign an affadavit to that effect, for any prospective husband.
[Rory answers her cell phone]
Rory: Mom?
Sookie: Its me, Rory. Its Sookie.
Rory: Sookie? At the house?
Sookie: Look...something happened with your mom, and Luke...and your mom's in bad shape. I mean...she's down, hon. I'm sure, now. But I think you should come, she needs you.
Rory: Oh my God, is she hurt?
Sookie: No...not physically...just come, okay?
Rory: Okay
Logan: I'm out. [walks up to Rory] You okay?
Rory: I have to go.
Logan: What happened?
Rory: I just have to go. I have to get home.
Logan: To your dorm?
Rory: Stars Hollow. Oh, no...I dont have my car.
Logan: Well, didn't you walk here? You're like a hundred yards away.
Rory: No...I mean...I took it in for its 6 month service. Its at the dealer.
Logan: You take your car to the dealer? They so rip you off there!
Rory: It doesnt matter where it is. I dont have it. Which means that I have to take a bus...or a train...or something.
Logan: That will take hours.
Rory: I know, I have to go.
Logan: Take my car.
Rory: I don't want to drive your car.
Logan: No...its a car with a driver. I ve got an account with a company.
Rory: No.
Logan: Take it! I'll give Frank a call, tell him to meet you out front with it. He'll take good care of you. Its a done deal.
Rory: Okay...thanks.
Logan: Go!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Logan: Hey, Ace. How are you doing?
Rory: Fine.
Logan: Come on in.
Rory: Um, Logan. Wait, no, I cant stay. Im just returning Frank.
Logan: Returning Frank.
Rory: And the limo. Thanks very much.
Logan: Everything okay back home?
Rory: Okay enough. It was good that I went. Thank you very much for your help.
Logan: You're very formal tonight.
Rory: What?
Logan: Just, your tone, its formal.
Rory: Well, thats how it is. And I fed Frank a nice sandwich, so he's all good to go.
Logan: You know you ended up being extremely lucky for me, Ace.
Rory: Is that so?
Logan: I took Robert for everything he had, plus everything I owed him from last time. You should come to all these things.
Rory: Yeah, kiddo, maybe I should.
Logan: What?
Rory: Hey, did it ever occur to you when I called to ask you if you wanted to hang out, that I meant that it should just be the two of us?
Logan: I actually wasnt sure. The whole thing was a little vague.
Rory: It wasnt vague.
Logan: No, hang out is a little vague. Its not a specific boy/girl thing.
Rory: Well, I can tell you that I wasnt expecting to be Fanny Brice to your Nicky Armstein.
Logan: But I already had this game going, I couldnt just kick everybody out. So am I supposed to just say no, and not see you at all? Or say yes, and do it the way we did it?
Rory: Well...I wasnt expecting a group.
Logan: So, I should have said no, meaning I wouldnt see you at all. I wanted to see you.
Rory: Well, thats nice. I wanted to see you, too. I just thought it would be a little more intimate.
Logan: Intimate?
Rory: You know what I mean.
Logan: So, the only time we can see each other is to have sex?
Rory: No, Logan, thats not what Im saying.
Logan: Thats what Im taking from this.
Rory: Well, dont take that. Thats not what Im saying
Logan: So...we can see each other under all kinds of conditions. Alone...or in a group.
Rory: Yeah.
Logan: Good, and last night happened to be a group thing.
Rory: Right.
Logan: So, I dont see the problem
Rory: Yeah...no, I guess there wasnt really a problem.
Logan: Im glad we cleared that up.
Rory: Yeah, me too.
Logan: Now, Im going out of town for a few days. But, I was going to give you a call to set something up for when I get back, but you called me first.
Rory: Right.
Logan: Im back next Saturday, its the first night Im back. I wanted to...I dont know, what are the kids saying these days, hang out?
Rory: Im never listening to the Bradford cereal girls again.
Logan: What?
Rory: Nothing, Im free.
Logan: No group this time.
Rory: No group this time.
Logan: Good, so next Saturday. [they kiss] Thanks for feeding Frank.
Rory: You're welcome.
Logan: And I promise not to call you kiddo again. I kinda picked up on that sarcasm from before.
Rory: There are just so many other things you can call me...
Logan: Thats an opening...
[they kiss again]
Rory: Bye.
Logan: Bye, Ace.
