[EM] 30 - Is there anyone you would give up your own life for?
I think it’s pretty much a given that I’d give my life for my sister, or Lorelai, but if you make this about deciding things, and you factor in just how long it took me to get my own head out of my ass and realize just how much Lorelai meant to me...
Girls, I love you both, but just for the sake of argument, it’s a given. I’m not even going to get started on that.
You may like my answer anyway, Lorelai, ‘cause if I won’t say Liz, and I won’t say *you*, I won’t even hesitate to say Rory. Hands down. I’d lay down my life in an instant for that kid, and I wouldn’t even stop to think about it. I mean, I’ve always been crazy about her, ever since she was seven and letting her mother egg her into naming every polygon and shape she could see, then explaining why something was a shape and something was a polygon. She had me calling the napkin dispensers ‘rectangular prisms’ for a day after that.
I’ve always been absolutely crazy about that little girl, and not just ‘cause I was crazy about Lorelai. There’s something about Rory Gilmore...a little bit of a salesman in her, I guess. But she’s not deceptive or slick, not like that...it’s the salesmanship of a fourth grader, doing a school project they’re *totally* wrapped up in. That’s Rory...only her project is the whole world, and she wants to make sure she knows absolutely everything about it before really getting her hands dirty. You just...wanna help her with her library research, or give her your used paper towel rolls to build whatever she’s constructing, or give her advice on how to make sure her matchstick cabin doesn’t cave in on itself.
She’s a special kid, Rory...the absolute tops, and I think Lorelai, Sr. will be happy to know that I’ve been crazy about her kid maybe longer than I’ve been crazy about her. I mean, once she finally stopped calling me ‘Duke,’ it was all uphill, don’t get me wrong, but those two years...
Okay, I’m gonna stop right there, ‘cause I can *feel* you mocking me. And gloating. And teasing me, I *know* you’re teasing me with some singsongy crap about how I liked you anyway.
Well...I did. So there. You can stop now.
