Luke's. Kirk enters. Luke calls Cesar over to discuss the tuna melt. This week, Cesar is the young Spanish boy instead of the older Asian man again. Maybe there are two Cesars. Anyway, he accidentally made the tuna melt with turkey. Kirk is checking out the layout of the restaurant. Luke walks over and asks what he's doing. Kirk asks, if he was Tom Cruise, where Luke would seat him. "In an acting class," Luke answers. Kirk asks about the best seat in the house, and where the best acoustics are. He'd hate to be able to hear the toilet flush during his meal. Luke says he's too busy to kill Kirk right now, and would like him to come back later. Kirk reserves three tables for Wednesday night at 8, and that he'll decide on his table selection later. Luke says Luke's doesn't take reservations. Kirk says that Lorelai told him to go somewhere that makes him comfortable, and that's Luke's: "Well, not at this moment, but previously I have been comfortable here." He tells Luke that he has a date with a young lady. Luke asks if he really felt the need to add the "young lady" part. "Kinda," Kirk admits. Luke says he'll give him one table at 8. Kirk hands Luke a diagram of how he'd like the table set up, with flowers by his date's plate and a champagne bucket out of his elbow's reach. Luke tells Kirk to get his own champagne and flowers. Kirk asks how much it would be for him to rent the place upstairs of the date goes well. "You mean my apartment?" Luke asks. He says goodbye. Kirk stops on his way out to ask a woman eating meatloaf if it makes her hot. Luke yells, and Kirk leaves.
Strummy, strummy la la over to Emily's. Lorelai and Sookie are in different outfits and Lorelai is grumpy. Emily has asked Sookie and Lorelai to come over and do a test run of the food and service. Lorelai: "Oh, she must be so happy right now. She's probably been cackling into her magic mirror all morning." Sookie says this will be a breeze. Lorelai can't believe she's going to spend three hours bowing and scraping. Emily says they'll be serving and delighting. Lorelai has the white, off-white, and cream linens as they walk to the house. "Wow. You grew up here?" Sookie asks. Lorelai grumbles that she'd better not be made to wear a uniform. Oh, I guess she doesn't want to be treated like any other catering company. "This is Citizen Kane's house," Sookie says. She asks if there's a moat. Lorelai makes Sookie promise to run interference for her all day. Sookie does. They ring the doorbell. The maid answers. Sookie gleefully announces that they're the caterers. The maid tells them that the servants' entrance is in the back, and slams the door in their faces. "Was that a maid?" Sookie asks with impressed glee. Lorelai pouts around the house. "What are all those tennis balls doing over there?" Sookie asks.
