CUT TO – Stars Hollow – Morning

(PIPER and LEO are in the car. PIPER is driving. WYATT and CHRIS in their baby-seats in the back. They are on the road and pass the 'Welcome in Stars Hollow' sign.)

PIPER: So, here we are. Why are we here again?

LEO: We're checking out some houses.

PIPER: In Connecticut.

LEO: If you don't like it here, we'll just search another place to live. I promise you, you'll love this town.

(PIPER pulls over at The Dragonfly)

PIPER: If you say so.

(LEO grins and they get out of the car)

PIPER: Can you take Chris's buggy?

(LEO nods, takes the buggy out of the trunk and opens it)

PIPER: (takes CHRIS out of the car) Hey big buddy, how was the ride?

CUT TO – Independence Inn, Hallway

(PIPER and LEO enter, CHRIS in buggy and WYATT holding LEO's hand.)

MICHEL: Yes?

PIPER: (frowning) I'd like a room.

MICHEL: Well, of course, this is an inn, what else did you expect?

LORELAI: (enters with cup of coffee) Michel, go help Sook for a moment with the inventory, will you? I'll help this people.

MICHEL: Why would I help Sookie? I stand behind the counter, that is my job.

LORELAI: (pushes him away) Bye Michel. (turns to PIPER) Sorry for that. How can I help you?

PIPER: Hi, I'm Piper Halliwell. I'd like a room for two adults and two children. (motions at WYATT and CHRIS)

LORELAI: They're adorable (searches computer) Room eleven is available. (gives PIPER a key) Dinner is at six and if you want a wake-up call, just inform the evil French man.

PIPER: (smiles) Thank you. Could I ask you something else?

LORELAI: Shoot away

PIPER: Me and my husband are searching for a house in the neighbourhood, you wouldn't know about any vacant places or something.

LORELAI: Well, as a matter of fact, I do, one of my neighbours has just moved out. (writes something on a post-it) Here's the address.

PIPER: Thank you.

LORELAI: I'll send someone up with your bags shortly.

PIPER: Is it okay that we just leave them there and leave for the town.

LORELAI: Sure. If you want to have a drink, go to Luke's diner. They have the best coffee of the world there.

PIPER: Maybe I will, thanks again.

CUT TO: Luke's – noon

JESS: Yeah?

LUKE: Jess! Be polite.

JESS: (in posh accent) Good day: how can I help you?

LEO: (grins) I'd like a coffee and a slice of cheese pie.

PIPER: Coffee and a cheese sandwich. He (points at Wy) wants a glass of milk and some cookies.

JESS: You're serious that you want milk and cookies?

LUKE: Jess! I'm warning you.

JESS: Milk and cookies it is.

PIPER: (takes bottle out of buggy bag and gives it to Jess) Could you warm this up for me too?

JESS: Whatever. (returns to counter)

LORELAI: (enters and goes straight to bar) Luke! Coffee!

JESS: Problems in the household?

LUKE: Jess, shut up. What's the matter?

LORELAI: Just give me my coffee.

LUKE: Lorelai, everything okay?

LORELAI: It's nothing. My mom's sister is coming to Friday night dinner.

LUKE: And that is a problem, why?

LORELAI: If you though Emily was bad, meet my aunt.

LUKE: You're overreacting.

LORELAI: I love you too.

(LUKE takes bottle out of microwave and gives it to JESS, but LORELAI stops him)

LORELAI: Give that to me.

(LUKE obeys. LORELAI drops a drop on her arm to check the temperature and then gives it back)

LORELAI: Approved.

LUKE: What would I be without you?

LORELAI: A grumpy diner owner?

(JESS grins)

LUKE: Very funny.

LORELAI: Just give those stuff to me. Who are they for.

(LUKE points at the table)

LORELAI: (walks over to PIPER and LEO's table)Hi again. Cheese Pie?

LEO: For me

LORELAI: Good choice (puts other plate with Piper) And I guess this is for him? (gives PIPER bottle)

PIPER: Thanks

LORELAI: So, are you enjoying Stars Hollow?

PIPER: It's great, I'm not used to small towns.

LORELAI: Really? Where are you from?

PIPER: San Fransisco.

LORELAI: And you come here?

PIPER: I said the same thing.

(LORELAI grins)

LORELAI: So, Piper and?

PIPER: Leo, and these are Wyatt and Chris.

LORELAI: Chris huh. Well, I'm Lorelai and that grumpy old man there is my husband Luke. (points to LUKE)

LUKE: I heard that!

LORELAI: Love yah hun!

PIPER: Do you want to sit down?

LORELAI: Sure, why not? (takes another chair)

PIPER: Have you been living here for a long time?

LORELAI: Around twenty years.

PIPER: So I guess you got the hang of it.

LORELAI: Small town life? I guess.

RORY: (enters) Hi mom. (kisses LORELAI)

LORELAI: Ah! My favourite offspring.

JESS: (shows up behind RORY) Boo.

RORY: (giggles and kisses him) Hi to you too.

LORELAI: No kissing in front of the mother!

(they break up)

LORELAI: This is my daughter, Rory, Ror, these are Piper and Leo.

RORY: Nice to meet you.

(PIPER's phone rings)

PIPER: Hello?

(LUKE uses sign language to mention to LORELAI that she has to get the phone out of the diner. LORELAI touches PIPER's shoulder and points to the phone sign)

PIPER: (off phone) Sorry (goes outside) Pheebs hey.

PHOEBE: (through phone) Hey Sis! How's the house hunting going?

PIPER: Actually...it isn't that bad at all. This town is rather nice. I've met some interesting people already.

PHOEBE: Sounds fun. But that actually wasn't why I was calling.

PIPER: (sighing) What is it?

PHOEBE: Don't be so negative.

PIPER: Give me one reason why I shouldn't?

PHOEBE: Okay, you win. I think Paige is about to make a mistake of gigantic proportions.

PIPER: Pheebs, what have we discussed about not controlling Paige's lovelife.

PHOEBE: She wants to move in with Rick!

PIPER: So let her, it's not like they are getting married. (pause) Are they getting married?

PHOEBE: Not that I know!

PIPER: Hun, she's a grown woman, she knows what she's doing.

PHOEBE: But this Rick guy isn't right for her.

PIPER: The only one who can decide that is Paige. Do not meddle, okay?

PHOEBE: (whining) okay

PIPER: I'll keep in touch

PHOEBE: I miss you guys already. Kiss the boys for me.

PIPER: I will. Bye! (presses of phone) Sisters!
