New Cutruzzula Four Gilmore Girls 53117 FOUR GILMORES AND A FUNERAL Written by Kara Cutruzzula Based on the TV series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino [email protected] TEASER EXT. GILMORE HOME - NIGHT LORELAI GILMORE (46) - confident, attractive, sharp as a sword - stands at the doorstep of a massive, imposing house, complete with wrought iron gate. She stares at the entrance. LORELAI May God and his human representative on Earth, Dolly Parton, get me through this. Lorelai rings the bell. A MAID answers wearing a very traditional outfit. Think “sexy maid.” Minus the sexy part. LORELAI (CONT'D) I see she’s still got you in the black-and-white get-up. Classic. Very Margaret Mitchell. Lorelai walks inside. INT. GILMORE HOME - CONTINUOUS Lorelai’s mother, EMILY GILMORE (70) - immaculate, poised - enters. She’s not the type of woman who gives a warm welcome. EMILY You’re late. LORELAI Traffic was terrible. Someone should really check on the whereabouts of Chris Christie. EMILY Nevermind. Dinner’s already plated. LORELAI Ooh, we get to use plates this time? Goody. INT. GILMORE DINING ROOM - NIGHT Lorelai and Emily enter to find a beautiful table set for three under a chandelier. They sit a beat in awkward silence. EMILY How long will Rory be? K. Cutruzzula 2. LORELAI She should turn up soon. Speaking of vegetables, Sookie’s dreamed up this incredible buttered turnip puree. If you can get past the color, it’s really quite good. EMILY What on earth are you talking about? LORELAI Side dishes. (after a beat) How’s Dad today? EMILY Today? Today’s the same as yesterday, which was the same as the day before. I swear I feel as though I’m, I’m... LORELAI (trying to help) Bill Murray in Groundhog Day? A hamster in a wheel? One of those picture books where you thumb the corner to flip the pages and the cartoon moves super quickly? EMILY Did you just compare your mother to a rodent? LORELAI A domesticated rodent. Lorelai looks like she’s going to try to offer comfort, but her daughter, RORY GILMORE (29) - self-possessed, composed - enters. Lorelai jumps up and rushes over. LORELAI (CONT'D) Hi, honey! RORY (hugging) Hi, Mom. LORELAI Did you get caught in Bridgegate? Emily stands and Rory hugs her. K. Cutruzzula 3. RORY (to Lorelai) Wasn’t that, like, three years ago? (to Emily) Hi, Grandma. LORELAI Yes, but traffic shall remain forever snarled, like that spool of alpaca yarn I bought during my ill- fated knitting experiment of ‘09. RORY I’m still waiting for my beanie. LORELAI Cue up the Muzak my friend, because that guy’s on hold forever. They sit for a beat. RORY How’s Grandpa? I’m planning to stop by the hospital tomorrow. EMILY Fine. Well, no. The same. Say, let’s talk of happier subjects. How’s your book coming along? RORY Actually... LORELAI If you need something to submit it in, there are boatloads of Lisa Frank folders still floating around the house. RORY That won’t be necessary. I actually turned in the proposal last night. Emily and Lorelai both beam. EMILY Oh, Rory, that’s terrific! LORELAI Honestly, what can’t this one do? The maid comes by the table and sets down two plates. K. Cutruzzula 4. LORELAI (CONT'D) I knew this happy day would come. (looks at plate) And on this happy day, I always somehow knew there would be mutton. RORY Thanks. I’m so relieved. And exhausted. But also exhilarated? LORELAI Lotta adjectives. No wonder you want to write a whole book. EMILY We have to celebrate. RORY No celebrating yet. We have to see if anyone wants to buy it first. LORELAI Your grandfather would be so proud. Rory gives a shy smile. EMILY He is proud. Lorelai nods, and the three women begin to eat in silence. As the camera PANS out to reveal the entire tableau, the seat at the head of the table - belonging to Richard Gilmore - is conspicuously empty. LORELAI Hey, this isn’t mutton. EMILY Of course it’s not mutton. It’s veal. FADE OUT. END OF TEASER K. Cutruzzula 5. ACT ONE FADE IN: INT. GILMORE HOME - NIGHT Lorelai, Rory, and Emily are in the foyer saying goodbye. RORY Thanks for dinner. EMILY Thank you for coming all this way. RORY Oh, it’s nice taking the train from Manhattan. Gives me time to catch up on my reading. LORELAI Please oh please, tell me you’re reading The Girl on the Train. I so want you to be the girl on the train reading The Girl on the Train. RORY Too late. Already finished it. As Lorelai and Rory go to walk out the door, Emily grabs her coat and begins to follow them. LORELAI Where are you going? It’s 9:30. A lass like you doesn’t dare set foot outside the perimeter at this hour. EMILY I’m going to see your father. I always go after dinner. (conspiratorially) They keep visiting hours open just for me. Donating an entire hospital wing does come with a few perks. As they head out, the MAID appears with the house phone. MAID Mrs. Gilmore? It’s the doctor. Lorelai and Rory exchange glances. K. Cutruzzula 6. EMILY (into phone) Yes? What? Emily’s face darkens. Her grip tightens on her coat. EMILY (CONT'D) (distraught) But I told him I would be right back. I told him! I’m coming right now. Lorelai and Rory grow worried. LORELAI Oh no. Emily hangs up. Her grasp on her coat loosens, and it tumbles to the floor. EMILY (to herself) You can plan and plan... RORY Grandma? EMILY (faintly) He’s... (beat) I must sit down. They usher her to a chair. She sits, staring. Processing. EMILY (CONT'D) Richard. He’s...gone. The shock of this hits them. Rory falls into her mother’s arms. Emily’s eyes close, then suddenly, she bolts upright. EMILY (CONT'D) We can’t just sit here. We must go. There’s much to be done. She marches to the front door, sidestepping her dropped coat on the way. EMILY (CONT'D) (calling behind her) Esmeralda, come fetch my coat. Emily exits. Rory looks at her mother, tears forming. K. Cutruzzula 7. RORY But I didn’t... Lorelai hugs her fiercely as Rory begins to cry. LORELAI I know, honey. I know. EXT. TOWN SQUARE - DAY A bright morning in Stars Hollow, Connecticut, a picture- perfect small town, the kind as rare these days as a moment of lucidity in Congress. The kind where townspeople greet each other with “Good morning,” and a folk guitarist strums near a gazebo. INT. LUKE’S DINER - DAY In this kind of town a diner with chrome stools can exist without irony or pretense. The owner of this one is LUKE DANES (48) - gruff, owns a toolbox and knows how to use it - and he’s behind the counter serving coffee. CUSTOMER Do you have hemp milk? Luke looks at her wordlessly. Then: LUKE This look like Portland to you? Lorelai enters. Luke rushes over, pulls her into a hug. LUKE (CONT'D) Hey. How you doing? LORELAI Oh, you know, just the worst 24 hours of my life. LUKE Worse than-- LORELAI Yes, even worse than that time I watched all of Shia LaBeouf’s oeuvre in chronological order just because he was doing it. LUKE And Rory? K. Cutruzzula 8. LORELAI I dropped her off at home. She’s hurting. LUKE I’m so sorry. LORELAI Thanks. He’s just been sick for so long, I thought we were all prepared, I thought I would be ready...prepared...ready... (remembering something) Oh god, there’s a wedding tomorrow at the Inn! LUKE I’m sure it’s all taken care of. LORELAI I’m not sure. I’m positively not sure. LUKE You’re really going to work now? Lorelai kisses Luke quickly. LORELAI Trying to keep things normal. For now. I’ll be back at home tonight. As she heads for the door, Luke calls after her. LUKE Here if you need me. She turns and smiles, and is gone. Luke watches her through the window for a minute, then something catches his eye: a giant food truck is maneuvering in front of the diner. On the side, in huge cursive letters it says: KIRK’S KHOW. EXT. LUKE’S DINER - DAY Luke approaches just as the truck’s massive side window is rolled up from the inside. The owner and operator of this fine mobile establishment is KIRK GLEASON (40). To say he’s merely quirky is being kind. LUKE What the hell is this? K. Cutruzzula 9. KIRK Good morning, comrade-in-arms. LUKE (reading the sign) “Kirk’s Cow?” KIRK (correcting) Kirk’s Chow. But with a K. Studies show customers respond extremely well to alliteration. LUKE What’s it doing in front of my diner? KIRK Well, mother and I were watching Shark Tank a few weeks ago and I got inspired-- LUKE (interrupting) I don’t need a preamble. Cut to the chase, Kirk. KIRK I thought I would offer the townsfolk an alternative to your standard artery-clogging fare of omelets with bacon and grilled cheese with bacon and meatloaf with bacon. Luke’s about to blow his top. LUKE My meatloaf has never had bacon! KIRK (handing him a food truck menu) Please peruse this at your leisure. LUKE (reading) Avocado egg toast? Beet cacao ice cream? (struggles to pronounce) Kombucha...with a mother?! What’s a mother? (beat) No one’s gonna wanna eat this.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

He took position behind the camera as well, both writing and directing an episode of the series. Murray is currently in production on the action-thriller Killing Field, starring as Eric, a man whose life on his serene farm is interrupted when a cop and a pair of dangerous criminals shows up. Bruce Willis, Kate Katzman, Donna D’errico, Swen Temmel, and Zack Ward also star. Murray most recently wrapped production on Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman, starring as America’s most infamous serial killer. The film is slated for theatrical release in August 2021 through Fathom Events. He will also be seen in the upcoming “The Fortress” and “The Fortress 2,” also starring Bruce Willis as well as Jesse Metcalfe.

WHAM buys local channel Bibliography Document 1 of 1 WHAM buys local channel Author: Chao, Mary ProQuest document link Abstract: Mary Chao Staff writer The parent company of WHAM-TV (Channel 13) has acquired the local CW affiliate, which airs shows such as Girlfriends, Everybody Hates Chris, Smallville and Gilmore Girls. Full text: Mary Chao Staff writer The parent company of WHAM-TV (Channel 13) has acquired the local CW affiliate, which airs shows such as Girlfriends, Everybody Hates Chris, Smallville and Gilmore Girls. The CW affiliate, WRWB (cable Channel 16), had been a joint venture of Time Warner Cable and Warner Brothers. Now it will be operated by Clear Channel Television's WHAM and will be renamed CW-WHAM, said Chuck Samuels, vice president and general manager of Channel 13, who will head both stations. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The CW was created when Warner Brothers merged with UPN, taking the "C" from CBS, which owned UPN, and the "W" from Warner. The Rochester station will remain on cable Channel 16 and will also be available as WHAM-DT on digital channel 13.2. Samuels said the station will complement Channel 13. "The CW has a very different target audience," he said. "While most networks such as ABC target (ages) 18 to 49, the CW targets 18 to 34, even 12 to 34." The CW will help WHAM's already established news brand by reaching out to younger audiences, Samuels said. WRWB's operations in downtown Rochester will be consolidated into WHAM's facilities in Henrietta.

  • Gilmore Girl
    On ne naît pas Gilmore Girl, on le devient Une analyse du féminisme français tel que compris par un grand public états-unien, et de la femme française dans la série américaine Gilmore Girls « Quel malheur que d’être femme ! et pourtant le pire malheur quand on est femme est au fond de ne pas comprendre que c’en est un ». – Kierkegaard Bachelor werkstuk Marley van der Donk s4608062 Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen Franse taal en cultuur Alessandra Benedicty-Kokken Emmanuelle Radar 01-07-2018 Résumé néerlandais – Nederlandse samenvatting Naast feminisme is een van de grootste kenmerken van de Amerikaanse serie Gilmore Girls de geletterdheid van hoofdpersonages Lorelai en Rory. In de serie zit dan ook een hoog aantal referenties naar literatuur, lectuur en popcultuur, waaronder een aanzienlijke hoeveelheid Franse werken. In dit onderzoek, dat bestaat uit een analyse van verschillende afleveringen van de serie, bekijken we hoe deze Franse ideeën worden verspreid en gepopulariseerd voor en door een Amerikaans publiek. We concentreren ons hierbij op de aanwezigheid van “la femme française”, in dit geval een combinatie tussen Madame Bovary, Brigitte Bardot en Simone de Beauvoir. Daarnaast analyseren we het Frans feminisme en hoe en waarom deze op een ironische manier worden weergegeven voor de Amerikaanse kijker. 2 Table des matières ❖ Introduction – La littérature française dans Gilmore Girls p. 4 ❖ Le contexte p. 8 ❖ Gilmore Girls: gender studies et reception theory p. 8 ❖ Simone de Beauvoir p. 11 ❖ Madame Bovary p. 14 ❖ La femme française comme icône : Madame Bovary, Brigitte Bardot et Simone de Beauvoir p. 16 ❖ Analyse – La femme française dans Gilmore Girls p.
