Rory: [on the phone] I got a job.
Lorelai: What? Where?
Rory: At the Stamford Gazette. It pays less than I'll spend on gas to get there, but it's a job. A writing job.
Lorelai: Yes!
Rory: And I'm going back to Yale. I already called them and I talked to my dean, and it's all arranged. I just have to find someplace to live, but I'll figure it out.
Lorelai: And this is what you want?
Rory: Yes.
