"Tomorrow our lawyer, Joseph Stanford, is coming by," Emily said.

Lorelai groaned, "Crazy Sissy's dad."

Eleanor looked at Rory.

"That's terrible," Emily said. "Sissy was a good friend of yours."

"Mom, Sissy talked to her stuffed animals and they answered her," replied Lorelai.

"Let's just start a new topic," Rory begged.

Emily replied, "Not possible!.

"She said a new topic, Mom," replied Lorelai.

"Everything's a joke. Everyone's a punch line," Emily stated.

"Okay, I'm sorry," Lorelai replied.

"My daughter – Henny Youngman," Emily said.

Richard walked in, "Sorry for that." He sat down, "A little trouble with our China office. Well. What did I miss?"

"I was being impossible and then I turned into a Jewish comedian," Lorelai told him.

"Ah, well continue," said Richard, taking his glasses off.

"Thank you," Emily said, "Where was I?"

"Some lawyer is coming tomorrow," Eleanor stated.

"Joseph Stanford," Rory told him.

"Yeah, him," replied Eleanor.

"Yes, so Rory, Nell, your grandfather and I thought it might be nice after dinner for you two to go around the house and pick out what you'd like us to leave you both in our wills," Emily told them.

"Take a look at that desk in my office. It's a really fine Georgian piece," Richard said.

Lorelai said, "Why don't I ever bring a tape recorder to these dinners?"

"If you choose to leave me anything, I'll be fine with it," Eleanor told Emily.

"Yeah, anything is fine with me," replied Rory.

"Nonsense, you both should have what you like," Emily said. "So, look around and when you see something you like, stick a post-it on it."

"Okay, you two have officially hit a new level of weird that even I marvel at," Lorelai stated.

"You can pick out things too, you know," Emily told her.

"Oh, well, now its way less creepy," Lorelai replied.

"Did you hear that Richard? Apparently we're creepy," Emily said to her husband.

"Yes, well, live and learn," Richard said.

The maid walked in carrying a tray with bowls on it.

"Oh, cool!" exclaimed Rory.

"What's that?" asked Lorelai.

"Its dessert," replied Emily like it was obvious as the maid started handing out the bowls.

"Its pudding," replied Lorelai.

"Well if you knew what it was, why did you ask?" asked Emily.

"You don't like pudding," Lorelai countered.

"Yes, but you like pudding," Emily said.

"Oh, I love pudding. I worship it. I have a bowl up on the mantel at home with the Virgin Mary, a glass of wine, and a dollar bill next to it," Lorelai said.

"I've never had pudding from a crystal bowl before," Rory said.

"Put a post-it note on it to claim it," Eleanor told her.
