"I can't believe you won't sell them to me!" Sookie explains as she and Jackson walk into Luke's.

Me and Rory were sat at the counter. Rory reading, and me doing homework.

"And I can't because you are being so small minded!" Jackson exclaims

"My stuffed squash blossoms are extremely popular with the customers." Sookie explains

"Yes, I know."

"People come from all over and demand the stuffed squashed blossoms." Sookie explains further.

"That's is exactly my point!"

"What'll you have sir? Anything that comes with the stuffed squash blossoms. That's what I hear say in day out."

"Yes, great, but all I'm asking you is to try stuffing something a little different this time." Jackson tells her

"A zucchini tush?" Sookie asks

"Just a temporary name."

"You want me to serve my customers a genetically engineered vegetable names after a butt?" Sookie questions

"Hey, this is an all natural vegetable hybrid that is perfectly safe and delicious, and yes, it looks a little odd, but you could put it on the map!" Jackson exclaims

"I want the blossoms." Sookie demands

"You wanna think small, think small! I'm done!" Jackson storms out and Sookie sits next to us.

"Jackson invented a new vegetable again?" Rory asks

"Yep."

"Too bad that bowling league didn't work out for him." I say

"Yeah."

"Hey, look, I found them." Mom says, coming into the diner with her ice skates.

"Where?" I ask

"They were with the roasting pans." Mom responds

"Cool."

"Ooh, skates."

"Me and Rory have a skating date. Tori too, but I don't want her on the ice." Mom explains

"Even though I would be perfectly fine." I say

"You can't risk it hon."

"I'm Nancy Kerrigan." Rory tells Sookie

"And I'm Tonya Harding. I'm gonna do the whole shoelace coming untied, let me start again act and everything." Mom says

"When was the last time you put them things on?" Luke asks mom and laughs.

"You are constantly trying to ruin my fun."

"Do they even fit anymore?" He questions

"Yes, they fit." She replies

"They look rusted."

"Well, can I just get some coffee please?" Mom asks

"Hand them over." Luke sighs

"Why?"

"I'm gonna clean them and tighten the blades." He says

"Really? Can you make them really shiny?"

"The skates please." He pleads

"Maybe add pom-poms?" Mom asks, trying her luck.

"Just Hand them over." He commands

"Thank you!"
