Emily's. Richard answers the door, prompting Lorelai to comment that he's the most masculine-looking maid her parents have ever had. Richard says that it's chaos there. The second maid called in sick, the first one is busy with dinner, and Emily is at the hospital, since her DAR group has suffered a series of strokes today. If Emily were in Lorelai's position, she would have been outraged that nobody called to inform her that dinner was pointless. Three of Emily's friends had strokes today, so Emily must go from bed to bed. Lorelai asks what's in the water the DAR ladies are drinking. "A little whiskey, usually," Richard answers. Richard adds that Liesl was much more masculine than he is. He walks Lorelai to the living room, where Rory is already seated. Richard tells Lorelai that Emily would have made her throw out her coffee cup by now. Lorelai asks him to replace it with a martini. And then take some allergy medicine, Lor. Good idea. The phone rings. Richard celebrates, since he's expecting an important call. Lorelai tells him that if all the maids are out sick or busy, he's got to answer the phone. Richard runs off to answer it. Lorelai celebrates being alone at last with Rory. Lorelai gets up to make her martini and says she has something to tell Rory. She tries to get Rory to guess, by using the word "maximize" in a sentence. Rory says she's just "maximum confused." Lorelai sits and says she ran into Max at the pharmacy. She says he's either forgiven her for treating him so badly or she just built it up worse than it was in her head. "Oh, no," Rory says. "You treated him like crap." Lorelai says he was very big about it and he didn't recoil or blow her off. "We had a nice chat," she deadpans. "It was good to see him." Rory starts going on about how he's a great guy and a great teacher. Richard returns, with more stroke news. He brings up the Chilton bicentennial and Rory's speech. C-SPAN joke: "It's like watching the Men's Warehouse security camera." Richard asks when the speech will be, since he'd like to be there. Rory says it's not her speech yet, but it will be Friday at 5. Richard asks if they can move it to 6. "I don't think so," Rory says. Richard says he might move his thing. "That might be best," Rory says. Well, we see where Lorelai gets it. Richard runs off to answer the phone again, shouting, "I got it! I got it!" Lorelai laughs. She holds up her cell phone: "Speed dial. I just like seeing him do that."
