EXT. STARS HOLLOW — NIGHT

LUKE stands before LORELAI and CHRISTOPHER.

LUKE
You got married?

CHRISTOPHER
Yeah.

LORELAI
Don’t be mad.

LUKE
Why would I be mad? Just because I waited a decade for you
and put up with your endless crap and everything else?

LUKE pulls out a GUN from inside his jacket.

CHRISTOPHER
Hey man, don’t do anything stupid —

LUKE
Too late.

LUKE FIRES two rounds into CHRISTOPHER'S CHEST.

LORELAI
Luke! What are you doing?!

CHRISTOPHER
(whispering)
That hat was always stupid, anyway.

LUKE
Shut up!

LUKE FIRES a third round into CHRISTOPHER'S FACE, killing him. LUKE then turns the gun on LORELAI.

LUKE
Did you ever love me?

LORELAI
What? What do you mean —

LUKE
(shouting)
Did you ever love me?

LORELAI is openly WEEPING now.

LORELAI
Yes! Yes, I loved you!

LUKE
(beat)
I loved you, too.

LUKE SHOOTS himself in the head, crumbling to the ground as the gun falls from his hand.

LORELAI
No!

LORELAI runs to him and cradles the BLOODY REMAINS of LUKE'S HEAD in her trembling arms.

LORELAI
Why, God? Why? WHY?!
