TEXT: [Elder Gilmore Pool House: terrace] LORELAI: I smell meat, is that meat? VALET: Why, yes, miss, it is meat. LORELAI: Oh, he called me miss. There's meat and a miss, I'm happy. RORY: What's the occasion? RICHARD: Well, I thought we might like some appetizers with our cocktails tonight. LORELAI: Would we ever. VALET: The first batch is ready, sir. RICHARD: Wonderful, on the table please. LORELAI: Mm, God it smells good. RORY: I love a good steak on a stick. RICHARD: Me, too. RORY: We should form a club. LORELAI: Steak-On-A-Stick club. RICHARD: We could have t-shirts made up. RORY: Grandpa, I've never seen you wear a t-shirt. RICHARD: Well, I've just never found a proper occasion. LORELAI: Hmm. To the proper occasion. [They toast.] RICHARD: I'll drink to that. EMILY [storming in]: I knew I smelled something, you're barbecuing! RICHARD: So what? EMILY: So what? The agreement was the girls have drinks with you and dinners with me! RICHARD: We are having drinks. Drinks and appetizers. EMILY: Those are not appetizers! Those are skewers! LORELAI: Little skewers. RORY: Little tiny skewers. EMILY: This is not tiny! [She rips a skewer from Lorelai's hand as she's about to bite.] LORELAI: Mom, that's mine! EMILY: This is a main course and a cheap way of cheating me out of my dinner. RICHARD: You are the most paranoid woman I've ever met. EMILY: I highly doubt that. RICHARD: You were the one who designated the drinks portion of the evening to me. EMILY: You love drinks
