5.17 Pulp Friction

[Logan and Rory are walking through a courtyard at Yale at night]
Rory: I love the theater.
Logan: That was not a snore, it was a groan.
Rory: It was not a painful play.
Logan: Any play is a painful play for me.
Rory: Well, thats too bad, because you are going to miss out on some wondeful things
Logan: Yeah? Like what?
Rory: My mom took me to see "Caroline, or change," in New York. Tony Kushner's musical, and it was the most amazing thing we ever saw. Tony Kushner wrote "Angels in America"
Logan: I know who Tony Kushner is.
Rory: So, you've seen his plays.
Logan: No, my mom plays Canasta with him every month he's in town.
Rory: Tony Kushner plays Canasta with your mother?
Logan: Badly, but yes.
Rory: You have a magical life, Huntzberger, and you dont even know it.
Logan: (smiling) So where to next?
Rory: Oh, I dont know, how about Mah Jong with Mamet.
Logan: How does ice cream sound?
Rory: Ice cream sounds great.
Logan: Then ice cream it is. (takes her hand and leads her towards a building)
Rory: Woah, Logan! Where are we going? Slow down
Logan: Slow down you die, Ace.
Rory: Yeah, well you go to fast in heels, and you kind of die also. (they walk into the dining hall) What are we doing?
Logan: We're getting ice cream.
Rory: But the dining hall's closed, we're breaking in.
Logan: Thats a very negative way to look at it.
Rory: How do you have a key to the dining hall?
Logan: I know a lot of very powerful locksmiths.
Rory: Well, what happens if we get caught? Can we get suspended? They cant kick you out of school for this, can they?
Logan: Hey, relax. Look around. For tonight, this is all yours.
Rory: It is kind of cool.
Logan: Wait until you see the kitchen.
Rory: Woah! Oh, Ive never seen the cereal station completely full before. Im never here early enough. I knew they had Coco Puffs!
Logan: Well, go crazy, Ace.
Rory: No we came for ice cream
Logan: There's no rule that says you cant have ice cream and cereal. Go on, get your Coco Puffs.
Rory: First Coco Puffs of the day...(fills bowl) This is a historical moment.
Logan: (chuckles) Ok, next stop, ice cream. What are you doing?
Rory: Im looking for the swipe machine, so I can deduct points from my meal plan.
Logan: You're kidding, right?
Rory: Well, the school pays for the food, and...
Logan: Trust me, with all the money that my family's donated to this school, they can afford to be out of a few Coco Puffs. Lets go.
Rory: This is fun.
Logan: (smiles) You're an easy girl to please. (kisses her) Lets hit the kitchen. (Rory runs back to leave a dollar by the cereal) Ace, come on!
Rory: Im coming.
