MICHEL: Do you stage these events to torture me?
LORELAI: Yes.
MICHEL: Job well done.
LORELAI: OK, let's start again. Any problems?
MICHEL: Guests are checked in, baskets are given out, and 200,000 tons of Jordan almonds have been delivered.
LORELAI: OK, good. Did Rory call?
MICHEL: No.
LORELAI: Hmm. She's golfing all day with my father and I'm half expecting this big "save me" call to come in -- you don't care at all do you?
MICHEL: To me you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon.
LORELAI: OK, forget it. So, have the grooms arrived? Their plane was supposed to get in a 7 so I'm surprised they're not here by now.
MICHEL: Well maybe they made a run for it.
LORELAI: Ooh, somebody got stood up at the prom.
MICHEL: Oh. Dear.
LORELAI: What?
(Male twins have just walked in the front door.)
MICHEL: Are those -- ?
LORELAI: No. It would be too --
(The brides rush into the grooms' arms.)
LORELAI: -- weird.
MICHEL: You kept this from me on purpose.
LORELAI: It's like a really snooty Doublemint commercial.
MICHEL: Just let me know when the midgets and clowns arrive.
(Michel tries to leave.)
LORELAI: Oh, no, no, no. You have to get them all settled in.
MICHEL: I'm not talking to them.
LORELAI: Yes you are.
MICHEL: Well I'm not talking to them nicely.
(Cut to Emily and Richard's house.)
RICHARD: It's after 8:00. She should be here already.
EMILY: She'll be here.
RICHARD: You're supposed to tee off at your designated time.
EMILY: You pay good money to that place. You'll tee off when you tee off. Is that what you're wearing?
RICHARD: Yes.
EMILY: Hmm.
RICHARD: What's wrong with what I'm wearing?
EMILY: Nothing. It's fine.
RICHARD: This whole thing is absurd.
EMILY: She's your granddaughter.
RICHARD: She's a sixteen year old who would rather be at the mall.
EMILY: Make sure you show her all around the club, especially the rose garden.
RICHARD: I am not a guide.
EMILY: And make sure you take her to lunch and have her get dessert.
RICHARD: No one said anything about lunch.
EMILY: I hope Lorelai's clubs are still in good shape.
RICHARD: Emily you are not listening to me. I will teach her to play golf...
