9.

I always was so unsatisfied with Lorelai's serenade. Luke's response was weird -- why did he smile and then do nothing? I didn't expect him to run up to the stage and kiss her but expected more than him waiting until the next day to, what, buy her a necklace? grrr.

[amensisterfriend]

Our final three! 

 

1. "I just want to see you happy..." (BV)
4. "I wanna horn"
9. Lorelai sings I Will Always Love You

[Taryn74]

4

[amensisterfriend]

9 :)

[Kohola3]

4

[lulu1960]

9. I think 4 was very Luke and Lorelai. He knows she's quirky but he just goes with it

[junienmomo]

9

[amensisterfriend]

And then there were two...

 

1. "I just want to see you happy..." (BV)
4. "I wanna horn"

[junienmomo]

1

[amensisterfriend]

I'll vote to eliminate 4! 

[lulu1960]

4

[Taryn74]

4

[Kohola3]

4.  While it's a nice scene, it's not a lot different than the usual quippy remarks.  

 

I think Luke said more in one sentence in 1 than in a lot of longer sequences.

[nolieblue]

4, I guess. I'm not actually a fan of BV at all. The whole Rory is our little princess thing made me want to gag. And I hated how they left L/L reconciling to 8:55. But as a "moment" it's better than Wanna horn.

[amensisterfriend]

1. "I just want to see you happy..." (BV)

 is our winner! 

 

Did we agree to do Jess moments next?!

[junienmomo]

Why, yes, we did, I do believe.

 

Here's one, hard to label:

"What are you looking at?" Jess says after he and Rory do a little dance at the diner while Luke watches right before Fran's funeral 3.20, Say Goodnight, Gracie

 

Also same episode

"Then you gotta go" powerful scene between Jess and Luke

 

Jess hunting for the swan

 

Jess going in the lake

[Taryn74]

"I made sure she was okay."  "I know you did."  Jess and Luke after the accident in Teach Me Tonight

 

Jess and Paris argue about books and publications in There's the Rub

[lulu1960]

Luke and Jess hugging. Jess appreciates Luke. R&R

Luke teases Jess about the forklift being an extension of him.

Luke asks Jess if he is a gigolo.

Lorelai trying to set Jess straight about how good of a man Luke is. Jess asks if she's sleeping with him.

Gypsy is fixing Jess' car. He sees someone that looks like Rory. 

Jess and Mama Kim. "Baseball?" "Cricket."

Jess and Dean get into it when Dean comes to the house unexpectedly. "Now tell her to go inside"

Jess and Dean get into it at the bid a basket. "Basket."Basket maker. Guy who didn't bring enough money."

Jess and TJ get into it about walking Liz down the aisle.

[amensisterfriend]

These are fantastic---you guys are awesome! The good thing about doing Jess moments, totally irrespective of whether you happen to like the character, is that he was present primarily during the glory days of S2, S3 and (occasionally) S4, so we're not cringing our way through later seasons again...well, at least not until we list Jess's scenes from S6 :) I'll be back later to add some more scenes and out the list together. Meanwhile, I'm wishing you all a happy, safe, "Deep-Fried Korean" Thanksgiving! ;)

Before everyone gets to enscotched ... I mean ensconced in the day's festivities I'd like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving (or just a great day). Remember to count your blessings as you steal the marshmallows off your loved one's plate. Now go off and deep-fry a shoe!

[nolieblue]

Jess helps Luke get ready for Liz's wedding -- choosing the tie and throwing out the TJ contaminated deodorant.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[Taryn74]

OMG nolie the throwing out the deodorant scene is one of my all time faves!  So hilarious!  (And then later, Lorelai:  You dried his armpits?  Luke:  I don't wanna talk about it.  Hahahahahahaha.)
