RORY: I went golfing with my grandfather today.
LUKE: Did you know that golf courses are an environmental blight because of the chemicals they use to keep the grass green?
RORY: Actually I did. (silence) Bad joke, sorry.
(Luke walks away just before Lorelai comes in the door.)
LORELAI: My God -- this day. The swans, the tulle, my head...Luke, I need the largest cheeseburger in the world. Let's break a record here, mister. (to Rory) So, the wedding is a nightmare. We got these ten boxes of creepy larvae that are supposed to swarm into beautiful butterflies on the wedding day. They swarmed a little early! What's with the hat?
RORY: Grandma gave it to me.
LORELAI: Oh, now, that's just mean.
RORY: It's not that bad.
LORELAI: Do you want a mirror?
(Rory takes off the hat.)
LORELAI: So, Rory's golfing adventure. Tell me!
RORY: It was fine.
LORELAI: Oh, honey, I brought you some of Sookie's chocolate cake to make you feel better.
RORY: It really wasnt't that bad.
LORELAI: You are the sweetest kid in the whole world. Where on earth did you get that from? Luke, am I mistaken or did that sign on the door say "open"? (to Rory) So, where were we?
RORY: Me golfing.
LORELAI: Right -- go.
RORY: OK, well, uh, by the end of the day I could even hit the ball. Sometimes it wasn't my ball but the intentions were good.
LORELAI: Well good intentions and no physical exertion whatsoever is what the game of golf was built on. So, um, did you order?
RORY: I'm not hungry. I had a big lunch at the club.
LUKE: With all the other devastators of our land.
LORELAI: You had a big lunch at the club?
RORY: Yes, it was quite good.
LORELAI: Quite? What's with the quite?
RORY: What do you mean?
LORELAI: You don't ever say quite.
RORY: I've said quite plenty of times.
LORELAI: Whatever. So besides the "quite good" lunch you had, what else happened?
RORY: Nothing. We played, I met his friends, I took a steam.
LORELAI: You took a steam?
RORY: Yeah. I sweated out all my toxins...
