"Morning" Rory says walking into the kitchen.
"Morning, mom woke up in project mood again today" Victoria replies sitting at the table. "I get more done before nine in the morning than other people get done all day" Lorelai says.
"As long as you don't abandon it mid project" Rory tells her. "I do not do that" Lorelai lies. "Make your own sea shell candles" Victoria reminds her.
"Oh, Not fair" Lorelai says.
"The place smelled like melted crayons for three weeks" Rory points out. "This is different" Lorelai insists.
"Fine. What's the project?" Rory asks. "This is a pile of every catalog we've received for the last three months" Lorelai starts. "Okay" Rory nods.
"I've gathered them all up, and I will now proceed to call all the companies that are sending us duplicates and tell them to stop" Lorelai continues.
"Very environmental" Victoria comments. "It's getting ridiculous. We get eight of some of these" Lorelai tells her daughters.
"You're kidding" Rory says. "Check this out. This is a stack of identical catalogs mailed to Lorelai Gilmore, Rory Gilmore, Lorelai Rory Gilmore, Victoria Gilmore, Lorelai Victoria Gilmore, Lorelai V Gilmore, Victoria C Gilmore, Lorelai Gilmo, Lorelai Gil, and Squeegy Beckinheim" Lorelai reads the catalogs. "How'd that get in there?" Victoria asks her.
"I once told a store my name was Squeegy Beckinheim just to see how many catalogs they would sell my name to and apparently my name is to catalog companies what Brooke Shields' picture is to Chinese restaurants" Lorelai explains.
"How many?" Rory asks. "Ten" Lorelai answers.
"Wow" Victoria says. "Including one we were already getting seven catalogs from" Lorelai adds. "So apparently you made the problem worse" Rory tells her.
"Unintentionally" Lorelai defends herself.
"This one is addressed to Tookie Clothespin" Victoria reads a catalog. "I forgot my code name at the second store I tested, so I said it was Tookie Clothespin" Lorelai explains.
"Which means we get even more catalogs" Rory says. "Again, it was unintentional" Lorelai replies. "When you start a forest fire unintentionally, it's still your fault" Rory tells her.
"You're putting calling myself Squeegy Beckinheim and Tookie Clothespin on a level so starting a forest fire?" Lorelai asks.
"Both kill trees" Rory points out. "You're depressing me" Lorelai sighs.
"Pick up the phone and stop the madness, that'll make you feel better" Rory says handing her the phone. "I want coffee" Lorelai gets up. "There's coffee in your cup" Victoria tells her.
"Well I should get ready too" Lorelai makes another excuse.
"You're stopping mid project" Rory complains. "I'm bored" Lorelai says.
"Then don't start these projects" Victoria tells her. "I promise I'll finish. I just want to check on the seashells" Lorelai replies. "These catalogs will be sitting here forever" Rory groans.
"No, they're biodegradable" Lorelai says.
"Come on, we'll all do some" Victoria offers. "Okay, I'll do mine last" Lorelai replies.
"Mom" Victoria says. "We only have one phone and I'm old you guys dial faster" Lorelai yells leaving the room. "Squeegy!" Rory calls out to her.

"Hey" Rory says walking in Victoria's room.
"Hey" Victoria says. "So, something came today" Rory says sitting on her sisters bed.
