• Richard : Logan!

  Logan : Huh? Richard!

  [stands up to shake his hand] 

  Logan : Wow, this is a pleasant surprise! Finn, Colin, you know Richard, don't you?

  Richard : [shakes thier hands]  Why, hello, boys. Nice to see you. Logan, I wanted to talk to you. I just heard about the incident.

  Logan : The...

  Richard : I heard that you professed your feelings for Rory.

  Logan : [shocked]  Wha-?

  Richard : Mr. Bell is a very dear friend of mine, as is the Dean of admissions. Well, you know this place, news travels fast.

  Logan : Yeah, look...

  Richard : I have to tell you that, while I understand what could have driven you to such a public display of affection, there is an appropriate time and place for that sort of thing. And a classroom in the middle of class is not one of them.

  Logan : No, I know, I...

  Richard : However, what's done is done. It's out. So I dropped by to tell you that I have spoken to your father.

  Logan : My father?

  Richard : We pounded out a few things. Property agreements, pre-nups, that sort of thing.

  Logan : Okay, I think that there's been...

  Richard : Oh, we came to a very fair agreement. I'm sure you'll be pleased. Now, we're setting up a dinner next week to finalize the engagement and start talking about the ceremony.

  [Logan is in shock] 

  Richard : Emily is handling all the newspaper announcements, so, not to worry. That's all taken care of.

  Logan : But...

  Richard : She is a fine young lady, Logan. I want her to be happy. You'll take care of that, I assume. All right, I'll let you get back to your coffee break. Nice seeing all of you again. And Logan, welcome to the family, son.

  [Richard turns and thumbs his nose in Rory's direction, who has watched the entire scene. She and Richard meet in the hall, laughing] 

  Richard : I do hope one of his dopey looking friends knows CPR, or he just might not make it.

  Rory : You're the best, Grandpa!

  Richard : All right, who's next? Paris giving you any trouble?

  Rory : Not anymore than usual.

  [They walk down the hall together] 

  Rory : However, there is a girl in my modern poetry class who keeps kicking my chair.

  Richard : Ah, I do love this place.

  Rory : Right back at you, Grandpa.
