Tick..Tick...Tick...BOOM!

SOOKIE: Well, come on, what are we celebrating?

LORELAI: Well, you ready?

SOOKIE: Yeah.

JACKSON: Definitely!

LORELAI: The Independence Inn is closing.

JACKSON: Yay!

SOOKIE: Yay! The inn is closing.

LORELAI: Not closing, closed. We're finished. It's all over. They're boarding the place up as we speak. Who wants more?

JACKSON: Well, did they find some gold in the basement or something 'cause I'm missing the celebrating angle.

LORELAI: You should always celebrate new challenges, and that's what this is.

SOOKIE: A new challenge.

LORELAI: Yes. They'll be some severance pay, then nothing.

SOOKIE: Nothing!

LORELAI: Nothing but exciting new challenges. Cheers!

SOOKIE: The inn is closed.

JACKSON: Well, I guess this means that you guys can focus solely on refurbishing the Dragonfly, getting that up and running. That's exciting.

SOOKIE: Yes, it is.

LORELAI: Yeah, I agree. But just drink some more. How're you feeling?

SOOKIE: A little drunk, and all I'm drinking is apple juice.

LORELAI: Well, good, 'cause I've got another little piece of news for you. We can't buy the Dragonfly because I can't swing my share of the money because I no longer have a steady income.

JACKSON: Wow, that is great.

SOOKIE: I'm sorry, was that an exciting challenge too?

LORELAI: Absolutely. Yesterday our lives were boring and predictable. We had jobs, we were gonna start our own business. But now everything is wide open. We can do anything we want because we're not penned in. That's good.

SOOKIE: Yes, that's good. And thinking of those new challenges is a nice way to distract me from the fact that we don't work together anymore so we're gonna see way less of each other.

LORELAI: Which will make our limited time together more enjoyable.

JACKSON: Right. And since I'm your vegetable supplier, I'm losing work, and seeing my wife and close friend way less than before.

LORELAI: Cheers!



Yep...exciting new challenges, folks. Break out the champagne! We're in unpredictability-ville now. Entering th realms of foggy guesswork and stepping blindly into the unknown...
