Emily asks whether Richard needs her to drop anything off at the dry cleaner. Richard says, "You're going to the dry cleaners? Well, I'll go with you." Emily says that she's capable of going to the dry cleaner by herself. Richard thinks it'll be fun for them to go together. Emily smiles and says it's very romantic for him to want to go to the dry cleaner with her, but that she'll never make it back here to drop him off before her DAR meeting. Richard says he can just go with her to the DAR meeting, too. DARN. Emily is incredulous that Richard would want to sit through such a thing. Richard says he thinks it'd be fascinating. Emily says she's going straight from there to the symphony luncheon. "Well, I'll tag along there, too," he says. Emily says she has a hair appointment after that, and he wouldn't want to sit through it. Richard agrees, so she should just cancel it. Emily says she gets her hair done every Wednesday at 3 PM. "Well, your hair looks fine," Richard says. "My hair looks fine because I get my hair done every Wednesday at three." What is it about older women and their hair? My grandmother did this, too. Does hair change when you get older so that it stays in one place for a full week where you don't wash it or brush it? I'm all as fascinated with old-lady hair as Richard is with old-lady luncheons. But seriously, how does the hair stay in one place for a week? Why not just buy a wig? Maybe it's a wig. Huh. Fascinating. Also it's fascinating that it's now Wednesday and not Friday, and five days have passed since dinner. Emily suggests that Richard should go to the country club. He paid a fortune for the membership and he never had the time to go before. Richard is chuckling at the thought of being able to hang out at the country club in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday. Before he can finish putting on his jacket, Emily is pushing him out the front door, telling him to have a lovely time at the club. Emily shuts the front door and yells for Graciela to make more coffee immediately.
Night. Stars Hollow Video. I say that like we've ever seen this video store before, but whatever. Lorelai and Rory are trying to figure out what kind of movie marathon they're going to have this evening. Lorelai gives a thirty-second commercial for The Postman that involves Tom Petty and the mail, but since I, like anyone with decency and self-respect, didn't see The Postman, I don't feel the need to recap it here word for word. ["I saw it. In the theatre. Against my will. Everything you've heard about how bad it is is true." -- Wing Chun] Mail jokes. Moving on. Rory asks for a Ruth Gordon film festival. They decide to have a "Worst Possible Movie Marathon" by watching Cool as Ice, Hudson Hawk, and Electric Boogaloo. Excuse me, Lorelai, that's Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Thank you. The girls split up to find the videos. Every single shot has an ad for Hedwig and the Angry Inch, by the way. I'm not complaining. Poor Hedwig got robbed this past year. It's the best damn thing I saw and fucking Moulin Poo crapped all over it. Go see Hedwig. That's the damn reinvention of the musical. Not Baz ripping off other people's songs. Anyway, Rory spots two kids giggling over the cover of Showgirls, and she gets all high and mighty that these kids could be checking out a smidgen of thigh on a video box.
