Gilmore Girls2000

[Luke and Lorelai's first real date; they have just read a long story on the back of a menu, hence the menu line]

Lorelai:
Hey, do you remember the first time we met?

Luke:
What?

Lorelai:
I'm just trying to remember the first time we met. It must have been at Luke's, right?

Luke:
[nods] It was at Luke's, it was at lunch, it was a very busy day, the place was packed, and this person...

Lorelai:
Ooh, is it me? Is it me?

Luke:
This person comes tearing into the place in a caffeine frenzy.

Lorelai:
[happily] Ooh, it's me.

Luke:
I was with a customer. She interrupts me, wild-eyed, begging for coffee, so I tell her to wait her turn. Then she starts following me around, talking a mile a minute, saying God knows what. So finally I turn to her, and I tell her she's being annoying - sit down, shut up, I'll get to her when I get to her.

Lorelai:
Y'know, I bet she took that very well, 'cause she sounds just delightful.

Luke:
She asked me what my birthday was. I wouldn't tell her. She wouldn't stop talking. I gave in. I told her my birthday. Then she opened up the newspaper to the horoscope page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me.

Lorelai:
God, seriously. You wrote the menu, didn't you?

Luke:
So I'm looking at this piece of paper in my hand, and under Scorpio, she had written 'You will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she'll go away.' I gave her coffee.

Lorelai:
[grins] But she didn't go away.

Luke:
She told me to hold on to that horoscope, put it in my wallet, and carry it around with me - [takes a piece of paper from his wallet and gives it to her] one day it would bring me luck.

Lorelai:
[teasing] Well, man, I will say anything for a cup of coffee [reads it, grows serious] Um... I can't believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet? [sees his face] You kept this in your wallet.

Luke:
Eight years.

Lorelai:
[emotionally] Eight years.
