Delilah couldn't worm her way out of the Friday night dinner this time, because Emily had demanded for her to be there.

"Tomorrow our lawyer, Joseph Stanford, is coming by," Emily said.

Lorelai groaned, "Crazy Sissy's dad."

Delilah looked at Rory.

"That's terrible," Emily said. "Sissy was a good friend of yours."

"Mom, Sissy talked to her stuffed animals and they answered her," replied Lorelai.

"Let's just start a new topic," Rory begged.

"Not possible!" replied Emily.

"She said a new topic, Mom," replied Lorelai.

"Everything's a joke. Everyone's a punch line," replied Emily.

"Okay, I'm sorry," replied Lorelai.

"My daughter – Henny Youngman," Emily said.

Richard walked in, "Sorry for that. A little trouble with our China office." He sat down, "Well. What did I miss?"

"I was being impossible and then I turned into a Jewish comedian," Lorelai said.

"Ah, well continue," said Richard, taking his glasses off.

"Thank you, where was I?" replied Emily.

"Some lawyer is coming tomorrow," Delilah offered.

"Joseph Stanford," Rory said.

"Yeah, him," replied Delilah.

"Yes, so Rory, Lila, your grandfather and I thought it might be nice after dinner for you two to go around the house and pick out what you'd like us to leave you both in our wills," Emily said.

"Take a look at that desk in my office. It's a really fine Georgian piece," Richard said.

"Why don't I ever bring a tape recorder to these dinners?" asked Lorelai.

"If you choose to leave me anything, that'll be fine," Delilah said.

"Yeah, anything is fine with me," replied Rory.

"Nonsense, you both should have what you like," Emily said. "So, look around and when you see something you like, stick a post-it on it."

"Okay, you two have officially hit a new level of weird that even I marvel at," Lorelai said.

"You can pick out things too, you know," Emily told her.

"Oh, well, now its way less creepy," Lorelai said.

"Did you hear that Richard? Apparently we're creepy," Emily said to her husband.

"Yes, well, live and learn," Richard said.

The maid walked in carrying a tray with bowls on it.

"Oh, cool!" exclaimed Rory.

"What's that?" asked Lorelai.

"Its dessert," replied Emily like it was obvious as the maid started handing out the bowls.

"Its pudding," replied Lorelai.

"Well if you knew what it was, why did you ask?" asked Emily.

"You don't like pudding," Lorelai countered.

"Yes, but you like pudding," Emily said.

"Oh, I love pudding. I worship it. I have a bowl up on the mantel at home with the Virgin Mary, a glass of wine, and a dollar bill next to it," Lorelai said.
