Friday night dinner was oddly quiet. Rory was still broken up over her break up with Dean and Lorelai was probably dealing with work, which Delilah understood.
"Everyone's awfully quiet tonight," Emily pointed out.
"Sorry, Mom, I'm just tired," Lorelai said.
"Me too – school," Rory said.
"Work," Lorelai said.
"Matt's mother," Delilah stated.
"Life," Rory added,
"Dig it, man," Lorelai said.
"Peace out Humphrey," Rory said in a bored tone.
"Mystery," Emily said. "Well, this is just ridiculous. Four intelligent women sitting here in complete silence. There must be something to talk about. Do you know that every night at dinner, the Kennedy clan would sit around the table having lively debates about everything under the sun? They would quiz each other about current events, historical facts, intellectual trivia. Now the Gilmore clan is just as smart and worldly as the Kennedy's, so come on, somebody – say something."
"Do you know that butt models make ten thousand dollars day?" asked Lorelai.
Rory chuckled.
"Camelot is truly dead," Emily quipped.
"Emily!" called Richard.
"In here, just follow the crickets," Emily said.
"I am sorry I'm late, but I come bearing wonderful news," Richard said.
"Siri, bring Mr. Gilmore a plate!" Emily called, getting up and following her husband to his seat.
"I just got off the phone," Richard said.
"Would you like to change first?" Emily asked, taking a napkin off the plate.
"Would you like to change first?" asked Emily.
"No, no, no I'm fine," said Richard. "So I—"
"Siri, Mr. Gilmore is hungry!" Emily called, before placing the napkin in his lap.
"Emily, I am perfectly capable of putting a napkin on my lap," Richard said.
"All right, I'm sorry," said Emily. "You were on the phone."
"Long distance," Richard said.
"God?" asked Lorelai.
"London," Richard said.
"God lives in London?" asked Lorelai.
"My mother lives in London," Richard said.
"Your mother is God?" asked Lorelai.
"Lorelai," Richard chided.
"So, God is a woman," Lorelai said, nodding.
"Lorelai," Richard chided again.
"And a relative, that's so cool," Lorelai continued. "I'm going to totally ask for favors."
Richard looked at Delilah and Rory, "Make her stop."
"Wish I could," Delilah said. Rory nodded in agreement.
"You spoke to your mother," Emily said.
"Yes I did. She's fine, she sends her love, and...she's coming to visit," Richard said.
