Lor pantomiming to get Luke to order the boots is one of my (many)
favorite scenes. Of
course we (and I assume Lorleai also) never saw them after that.

I never credited Chris with being a deep thinker. But I suppose
the alcohol had
something to do with his odd pronouncement.

Just to be picking a few nits, Lorelai actually said, "You and me
-- we're done!"
And, just as the photographer took the picture, Emily leaned back
toward Lorelai. But at
the beginning of 'Say Something', the photographer takes the picture but
Emily is standing
straight, next to Richard. Either it was a continuance error, or the guy
took more than one picture
and Emily was no longer paying attention to Lorelai.

I still can't understand how they missed each other while ru****ng
over to each other's
house/diner.
