I always remember the night of Miss Patty's Annual Show.
LUKE'S DINER
LORELAI: Hey, Grizzly Adams. Why are you back? The woods closed or something?
LUKE: No, they weren't closed. I was - I don't know. It's what it is. Nature.
LORELAI: Nature? Nature is...
LUKE: You know. It's there. I saw it. Trees, leaves. Whatever.
LORELAI: Okay. That's your second answer in the form of a haiku. Let's get beyond that. Why are you back?
LUKE: Because I felt like coming back. I can't do what I want to do?
LORELAI: Of course you can.
LUKE: Good.
LORELAI: But camping is something you want to do.
LUKE: No, it's what you wanted me to do.
LORELAI: When did you turn against camping?
LUKE: I didn't turn against camping. I'm just trying to understand why you were trying to get rid of me tonight.
LORELAI: I wasn't doing that.
LUKE: Well, you sent me off to the woods. What if I don't want to go off to the woods?
LORELAI: But you always want to go to the woods.
LUKE: I don't like going to the woods when I'm being banished.
LORELAI: No one is banishing you.
LUKE: It felt like it.
LORELAI [sadly]: Well, then, that's my fault.
LUKE [sighs]: Look. I like doing things with you. I'm surprised I have to tell you that.
LORELAI: You don't have to tell me that.
LUKE: I like going shopping with you. I like having dinner with Sookie and Jackson. But the actual shopping seems a little pointless, and Sookie's kids drive me up a wall, but you're there and I like hanging with you.
LORELAI: I know that.
LUKE: And I could have been fun at this recital. I mean, you're probably sitting there mocking most of it. I can mock stuff.
LORELAI: Oh, you're a great mocker! I was only thinking of you when I mentioned the camping. You haven't been camping since we got together, and I was feeling weird about that. You should do the things you like.
LUKE: I do do the things I like.
LORELAI: Well, I wasn't getting rid of you! I want you to do whatever you want to do with me. I know that sounded dirty, and dirty things count, but I didn't mean the dirty things. You and me can hang whenever, wherever.
LUKE: Yeah, well, maybe I'm being sensitive.
LORELAI: I really wasn't getting rid of you.
LUKE: I mean, I'm not dying to see baton twirling.
LORELAI: I'm happy to be with a man who isn't.
LUKE: Was there baton twirling?
LORELAI: Oh, yes, and it was no fun. She didn't drop it once. [She smiles.] You want to come back to the recital with me? Kirk is doing something strange and disturbing.
LUKE: Nah, I think I'll go back out camping. Wouldn't mind doing some fishing.
LORELAI: Good.
LUKE: Yeah. Good.
LORELAI: Okay.
[She smiles and leaves. He smiles watching her go.]
