Lorelai and Luke in “Written in the Stars”

Lorelai

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

Luke

It was at Luke's, it was at lunch, it was a very busy day. The place was packed. And this person...

Lorelai

Oh, is it me? Is it me?

Luke

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

Lorelai

Ooh, it's me!

Luke

I'm 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. Finally I turn to her, and tell her she's being annoying. Sit down, shut up, and I'll get to her when I get to her.

Lorelai

You know, I bet she took that very well, 'cause she sounds just delightful...

Luke

She asked me my birthday. I wouldn't tell her, she wouldn't stop talking, finally I gave in. I told her my birthday. She went and got the newspaper, opened it up to the horoscopes page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me. So I was looking at this piece of paper in my hand, and under Scorpio, she had written: 'You will meet an annoying woman. Give her coffee, and she'll go away.' So I gave her coffee.

Lorelai

But she didn't go away!

Luke

She told me to hold onto that horoscope, put it in my wallet, and one day it would bring me luck.

Lorelai

Boy, I will say anything for a cup of coffee! [long pause] I can't believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet? You kept this in your wallet...

Luke

Eight years.

Lorelai

[touched] Eight years...
