Digger and Lorelai pull up at a fast-food taco place. Lorelai orders half the menu, and then Digger says he's not going to eat anything. He doesn't really like Mexican food, or fast food, or anything you order from a speaker. Lorelai then decides that she's not going to eat either. Digger: "What is this, junior high?" And it's on that line that he wins me over. Lorelai doesn't like being watched while she eats. It's no fun. "Does everything have to be fun for you?" Digger asks. Like him even more now. Pouting. Pouting. Whining. Lorelai's boob is kind of hanging out of her dress. They drive away, another restaurant losing money off their whims.
Grocery store. Lorelai and Digger each grab a basket. Lorelai says they'll just find some prepared food, and then they'll each get something they like. Digger grabs a package of razors. Lorelai takes it out of his basket and says they're on a date, and that they're there for food, not running errands. Lorelai, look at his face. The man needs some razors. Let him have the razors. He looks like moss is growing on his cheek. Lorelai remembers that she's out of toothpaste. They agree to do a little light shopping, and take off in separate directions.
Lorelai grabs a container of paper cups as Digger asks from another aisle whether she needs peas, because the cans are two-for-one. Lorelai doesn't need any, but he grabs her some peas anyway. He joins her in her aisle, saying that you shouldn't shop hungry. ["You must shop hungry! Otherwise you end up coming home with, like, toilet paper and and salt." -- Wing Chun] Lorelai can't believe Digger won't eat fast food but will eat Sno-Balls. Digger says he's never had them before, but found them intriguing, since someone decided to dye the coconut pink, and then shaped the things like breasts. Lorelai can't find her mini-Pringles. She can't take the large package, because she uses them for when she's driving, and the big can won't fit in her purse. Digger asks a stock boy, and then grabs Lorelai to run off with him.
Digger pulls Lorelai into the stock room and tells her to find her mini-Pringles. Digger brags that talking people into doing things they don't want to do happens to be his specialty. Lorelai clocks in one of the poor workers, who will now be fired. Digger finds a shrinkwrapped crate of her chips and hands Lorelai a knife, telling her to cut open the box and grab some. She does, hacking away until the box bleeds packages of chips. Digger finds a giant container of Cap'n Crunch. Digger goes on about the wonders of the Cap'n, but he mistakenly calls him "Captain," so I refuse to recap it, because he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. And Lorelai should have corrected him. Digger cuts open the case until the boxes pour to the ground. Lorelai screams with glee. A dine-and-dash, a public fight, messing with a perfect stranger's career, and vandalism? Add that to the fact that Emily hates him and we don't trust him, and this boy knows the way to Lorelai's heart big-time.
