And then, on top of everything, there's the whole Luke thing.
Oh, thank God! I've been waiting and waiting all morning. I didn't think you were gonna say anything, and I didn't think I should say anything... So, there's a Luke thing?
I don't know, Sookie. I can't figure out what happened. I mean, clearly something came up when I sang that song.
But I don't know if it was a new, now feeling or the residue of an old feeling that came up because of the drinks and the lyrics and the hat.
Well, it was a deadly cocktail.
So that's why I'm going to the diner today to see how I feel sober and without the lyrics of I Will Always Love You streaming in front of me.
Gotcha, but just so you know, I think it was a new, now feeling. I mean, the way you were singing to him...
Sookie, you weren't even there.
I know, but I had enough people describe it to me.
No, we're just all excited about the possibility of you and Luke.
Look, I know everyone's heart is in the right place, but I need to figure out what I want.
Seriously, Sookie, I need your help with keeping all these people off my back.
Understood. But for the future, next time you want other people to stay out of your, you know, relationship...
Don't serenade your ex in front of the whole town?
You knew it was a serenade?
[in line to graduate] Okay. This is it.
Yeah. We've been drafting off each other since high school, and now it's each woman for herself. Who knows when we'll see each other again, right?
Paris, I haven't been able to shake you off all this time. I'm sure we're going to be friends for a very long time.
You're going to do such great things with your life, Rory. (gives her a huge hug)
All right, we can check the cake off our list. What else do I need to remember?
Don't worry cause I prefer footballs basically.
[enunciating] Don't worry cause I prefer footballs basically.
It's a mnemonic device|. Dress, wedges, champagne, ice, plastic flutes, beaded clutch. Beaded clutch is one word.
Don't worry cause I prefer footballs basically, Polly.
And tissues and my camera.
Don't worry cause I prefer footballs basically, Polly...teased...Chad.
Why would Polly tease Chad about footballs?
I don't know. Maybe Polly prefers soccer balls.
That doesn't make any sense!
[laughs] Well, then stop adding stuff to the list!
Logan...I'm sorry. I can't. I love you. You know how much I love you. I love the idea of being married to you. But...there are just a lot of things in my life right now that are undecided, which used to scare me, but now I kind of like that it's all wide open. And if I married you, it just wouldn't be.
So, what? I move to San Francisco, you stay back east, and we see each other occasionally?
Well, we can try long distance. We've done it before.
You really think that would work?
I think it would be hard, but--
I don't want to do that, Rory. I don't want to move backwards. If we can't take the next step...
Does it have to be all or nothing?
[Rory pauses, reaches into her pocket, and holds out the box with the ring in it; after a long silence, Logan takes it]
Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm not okay, I feel awful. I feel sick. I miss him already.
And it just sucks, you know, because I graduated today. This was supposed to be a happy day in my life, and now every time I look back on it, I'm going to think of this horrible thing that happened.
I'm sorry. But I think you made the right decision.
I do. One day, you'll meet someone, and you'll just know that it's right. You won't want to hesitate.
