One's Got Class and the Other One Dyes episode #3.04 | written by Elise

Elise's Comment:

I found this episode to be one of the show's funniest. Here is an honnour to all those funny scenes.

First we have the whole Rory bleaching Lane's hair story line. This includes the scene where the pain and the smell are just unbearable to both girls and Rory's trip to the beauty supply store where she encounters Jess' girlfriend. Not posted, but worth mentionning, is the scene where Lane runs around the block, with the bleach on her head.

#1 - Lane: Good distraction. Still thinking. . .thinking about world events, lots going on there. Thinking about the last movie I saw. Vin Diesel was in it. Thinking about Vin Diesel now. Thinking about where Vin Diesel got the name Vin Diesel. Thinking about Vin Diesel's mysterious ethnicity. Thinking about how surprising it is to have so much to think about with Vin Diesel. Who knew, who knew? Okay, now I'm just thinking about the pain, we’re into pain here.

#2 - Rory: I’m getting dizzy from the smell.
Lane: Let’s focus on my pain. Now read the bottle, tell me what to do in case of pain.
Rory: Um, blah blah blah, do not apply to a broken scalp -- is your scalp broken?
Lane: I don’t know, maybe. I don’t know my scalp that well.
Rory: There’s nothing else about pain. Oh, a girl told me once that if your scalp is hurting from bleach, drink a 7UP. It’s something to do with the bubbles.

#3 - Rory: What’s your problem? I’m a customer, I’m in a hurry, and you’re supposed to assist me.
Shane: I am assisting you.
Rory: Yeah, after you took your sweet time getting off the phone, which by the way, clearly was not a business call.
Shane: Un-freaking-believable.
Rory: Yeah, it is, it is. The level of service in this place is just that -- un-freaking-believable.
Shane: Have a nice day.
Rory: Yeah, thanks, you too. And by the way, bloaty is not a word. There’s bloated, there’s bloating, but no bloaty.
Shane: Thanks, that’s fascinating.
Rory: Well, for you, how ice is made is probably fascinating. See ya.

Then there are the many scenes of Luke and Lorelai preparing for and giving speeches at the local High School. They were just too numberous to post. They include: Lorelai noticing the "Butch Danes" photo, Lorelai asking Luke if his girlfriend's name was Sissy, and Lorelai talking to Debbie about the supposed hilarious thing she said to a man. Here's a comment on Luke's photo in the school display:

Lorelai: Oh no, you’re right. It should have its own special display at the diner with a big old spotlight on it.
Luke: Don’t they need my permission for this? This should be illegal.
Lorelai: No, those shorts with that tank top should be illegal.

The openning scene also proves to be a funny one, with Lorelai recalling her weird nightmares. There's the one with the dead cows, the one with the killing turtle, and this one:

Lorelai: Now, this last one’s a little more gory. I’m out hunting [...] And my shotgun backfires and my whole face spins around a bunch of times and winds up in the back of my head like Daffy Duck.
Rory: That’s the silliest one yet.
Lorelai: Now, if that’s how I go, you gotta promise to move my face back to the front of my head like Daffy did with his beak.
Rory: I should be writing this down.
Lorelai: You can remember to move my face to the front of my head.
Rory: It depends on what I have going on that week.
