There's a cat on my doorstep.
Well, that's better than a bun in your oven.
...
There are two of them. They're not even easing me into this, those bastards. I give up. I guess I need to start collecting newspapers and magazines, find a blue bathrobe, lose my front teeth.
Well, obviously, you've got a busy day ahead of you, so I'm gonna let you go.
Yarn balls. I need to find some yarn balls!
Bye.
Love!
Jeez!
You want it? You can have it. And not compromised, stifling, soul-killing love, but open, honest, life-affirming love. But how do you get it? How do you get this love?
If I knew that, what the hell would I need you for?
It's going to take work. It's going to take introspection. You're gonna have to learn new things -- how to be your own best friend, how to treat your damaged psyche with a little kindness, how to say, "hey, pal, you're worth it. You mean something to someone, and you deserve love." That is the key. If you crave love, then you deserve love. Say that to yourself. If I crave love, I deserve love. [Luke sighs deeply.] Now, how did that feel coming out? I'll bet it was hard. I'll bet you felt ridiculous. Some of you may even have been incapable of saying it at all. Try again.
I'm not incapable. I just haven't been hit in the head with the Oprah stick lately.
Trust me, my friend -- it will get easier, until one day, you turn around, and you are not alone. Ready to begin the journey? It's going to be one hell of a ride. Okay, let's go. Open up your workbook to page one.
[opens his workbook] It doesn't get lower than this.
Complete the following sentence -- I feel angry because...
I am listening to this tape.
I feel hopeful because...
This tape must end eventually.
I feel helpless because...
I wonder if anyone's ever kicked an audiotape's ass.
Whose phone calls or visits are never unwanted or too long? Do you see her face? Who would you most like to have in your life to ward off moments of loneliness? Do you see her face? When you travel, who would make your travels more enjoyable? Do you see her face? When you're in pain, who would you most like to comfort you? Do you see her face? When something wonderful happens in your life -- a promotion at work, a successful refinancing -- who do you want to share the news with? Do you see her face? Whose face appears to you, my friend? Whose face?
[thinking of Lorelai] Whoa.
Not your scene?
Not really.
Mine neither. This is for the guys. These days, there's nothing I'd rather do in the world than spoon with your sister. [Luke exhales sharply] Stomach again?
That time, yeah.
