Episode Report Card Al Lowe: A | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Sidekick In The Pants
By Al Lowe | Season 6 | Episode 19 | Aired on April 17, 2006
Everyone sits as this ceremony begins -- it's also in Korean, but conducted by a minister -- and Lorelai sighs that Lane is the first of Rory's friends to get married. I guess she has forgotten about Dean, who was not only married but cheated on his wife with Rory. Well, whatever. Details, right? Anyway, as Lorelai smiles about Lane, Chris has to ruin it: "You know, Rory could be next." Lorelai takes a deep breath and looks at him with what seems like terror, saying, "Yeah." Shut up, Christopher.
Back from commercial, the bride and groom come out of the church to cheers and rose petals. "That wedding was just the way I like them," Jackson says. "Short and in a language I can't understand." Sookie says she thought it was beautiful, particularly the dress. They say they have to go call their new baby-sitter, who is seventeen, a good student, very polite, and has references out the wazoo. "She seems absolutely perfect in every way," Sookie says. "Well," Lorelai says, "she's probably a crackhead." Jackson: "Thank you!" They go off to call the sitter, while Chris and Lorelai seek out the bar.
Meanwhile, Zach is rapturously describing the Korean wedding robe he wore in his first ceremony to Gil. "Hey," Gil says, "I'm just happy to have another married guy around." Zach tells him that just because they're both married doesn't mean they'll be sharing any Dr. Phil moments. "Just wait, my friend," Gil says. "Just wait 'til the first time you don't bring home the dry cleaning." At this, my husband throws me a look so hard I can feel it hit my cheek. The end-point to every argument we have ever had is "Dry cleaning!" Because, listen, the dude never takes my dry cleaning when he's taking his, and seriously, he's a great man and a great husband, but that chaps me. I hate to bust on him, because he's better at almost every domestic task than I am, but...he never even asks about the dry cleaning. How hard is it? "Al, I'm going to the dry cleaner's. Do you have anything I can take for you?" See? So simple! Listen to the wise words of Sebastian Bach, married men.
