Sookie

A child is not a duvet cover. You can't just take it back if it doesn't like you.

Luckily, duvet covers notoriously like whoever they go home with. They're like golden retrievers.

Sookie

You know what happens when kids don't like you? They tie you to a chair. They brain you with a bat. They set fire to the house and blame it on the neighbors.

Wow, now you can't have kids or live next door to them.

Sookie

We did it, we got the job! What a score! We landed a whale.

Yeah, we always had the job, Sookie. The whale was just toying with us. She was swatting us with her tail and hosing us down with her blowhole because that is the whale's M.O. - humiliate and rip apart every other fish in the sea until there's nothing left but a bloody pile of chum.

Sookie

Boy, you really hate whales, don't you?

So, Davey, beautiful day, huh? What would you like to discuss? Middle East peace, the space program? I'm sorry, what's that? Oh, my God. He said, "The answer to the problems in the Mideast is, 'I have to poop.'"

Sookie

He got distracted.

Sookie

I was just wondering if it's going to be okay to set up a buffet in the dining room.

I don't know. What do you think Pennilyn Lott would do? You think she'd set it up in the dining room? Because personally, I think we should just toss some cheese cubes in the coffin, stuff some toothpicks in her mouth, and let the people go to town.

Sookie

Is she serious?

[Sookie descends the stairs and approaches]

Sookie

Hey! It's a party. What's everybody doing up?

Aw, hey, good timing, Squiggy.

Sookie

I was just going to check on my loaves and make sure they're rising properly. The air's a little more humid than I thought it was going to be, and if the loaves aren't rising properly, then -- what are you doing? [They both pull Sookie closer to the sofa]

We need you to look at Kirk's butt.

Sookie

Why?

Well, because he ran into some rose bushes, and he's got some thorns stuck in it, and I thought of you.

Sookie

Me? Why me?

Well, because... you're a chef.

Sookie

What?

And you have a kid.

Yes, that's better. You have a kid.

Neither of us has kids. Well, she does, but it's big and -- and -- and can look at her own butt.

[Sookie is trying to get Lorelai to take some time off.]

Sookie

Want to know the last time I saw staff and maids looking this scared of their boss? Your mother's house.

Ow...knife in the gut!

[Lorelai is showing a guest around the Dragonfly Inn]

Figure as your little girls arrive, we'll have them here in the living room. We'll have the pocket doors to the dining room closed. Then, when it's time for breakfast, we'll open the doors, and voila, the full, beautiful effect.

WWoman

Wonderful.

We'll have music with a nice little fanfare. You like Yanni?

WWoman

Hate him with every fiber of my being.

Oh, good, we're in perfect sync. And then, we'll have small-scale tables set with china, a silver tea service, little plates, little cups, and twelve little chairs for all of them to sit on.

WWoman

That's so cute.

: Yeah.

Wait, twelve? I thought there were six. Six little girls.

Six girls and their six dolls.

I beg your pardon?

This is a pancake breakfast for the girls and their dolls.

Get out of town.

I thought you knew that.

Dolls, as in they don't have stomachs, lungs or spleens? And we are serving them breakfast?

That's right.

Teeth? Throat? Colons? They don't have these things either? Unless they are Brides of Chucky.

I'm not paying attention to you anymore. [To the woman.] All right,well, I'll order everything, and all you have to do is show up.

WWoman

The girls are looking forward to this. So are the dolls!

Aw, love that.

WWoman

'Bye.

Okay, bye.

[watching her leave] Is she psychotic?

Shh.

[They head into the kitchen.]

It’s silly fun, Michel, girls love dolls. Chill.

Sookie

I'm making little pancakes for the dolls, and I found these little forks they can use.

They do not have opposable thumbs!

Sookie

Who, the girls? Oh, this is a handicapped group! Poor things.

No, the dolls.

Sookie

The dolls? How can a doll be handicapped?

My point exactly! They are plastic and made in Banglagor!

[talking about Lorelai's breakup with Luke]

I'm gonna be distracted until we fix this.

Sookie

Don't worry, because when a relationship is right, things work out.

I hope so.

Sookie

I heard about this couple on one of those morning shows. Similar to you guys, all lovey-dovey, perfect for each other, headed for marriage, and something happened, and they broke up their senior year in college, even though they were madly in love with each other. They moved to different parts of the country. Thay married different people.

They married different people?

Sookie

Had kids, grandkids. Then their spouses died. And they were available again, and they talked, and they hooked up. And now they're together and they're happily in love after 40 years apart.

That's a horrible story.

Sookie

No, it's not.

What morning show was that on? I hate that story.

Sookie

But they ended up together.

Was it Katie Couric? She seems very dark to me.

[Luke answers the phone.]

Kitchen.

Sookie

Do you put walnuts in your béchamel?

Sookie?

Sookie

Do you put walnuts in your béchamel?

No.

Sookie

You don't put walnuts in your béchamel.

Sookie, I have things burning, so I-

Sookie

I thought I tasted walnuts. What things are you burning?

What do you mean you tasted walnuts?

Sookie

You want to get fancy, you can do that at your own diner. My béchamel sauce is classic.

How are you tasting the béchamel?

Sookie

And, I don't remember including goat cheese in the fennel salad.

How do you know what's in the fennel salad?

Sookie

So you admit it. You put goat cheese in the fennel salad.

Yeah, I put goat cheese in the fennel salad. It goes good in the fennel salad, and you had it sitting there.

Sookie

And I also have some Brillo pads sitting there. You want to toss a couple of those into the fennel salad, as well? Hmmm?

How do you know all this?

Sookie

I just assumed.

You just assumed that I put goat cheese in the fennel salad?

Sookie

And walnuts in the béchamel.

I did not put walnuts in- Sookie, are you having people bring you my food?

Sookie

Good. Because the eyes will give you away.

What do you mean?

Sookie

When you're thinking of bolting. They'll pop out on you, like that Runaway Bride. It's like the eyes are trying to runaway first.
