Lorelai: Kirk, whatcha doin' here?
Kirk: I left Mother's.
Lorelai: No, did you have a fight? Did she take away your Beach Boys album again?
Kirk: No, I just got so excited about the thought of a new life. You know, of striking out on my own and being my own man. Right, Luke?
Lorelai: "Right, Luke"?
Kirk: So I did it. I packed my clothes and I gave my mother my key and I said good bye and I left.
Lorelai: Aw, Kirk, that's a big deal, you leaving like that.
Kirk: I know it is. But Luke explained to me that if I really want to move to the next level with Lulu and have a real, grownup relationship, with sleepovers and everything, then I had to get out.
Luke: I don't think that's exactly what I said.
Kirk: Oh, yes, it was. And I felt really good about it, until I realized that I had no place to go. I probably should have found an apartment first.
