Much honking is heard, as Lorelai weaves nervously down the road in the big truck. "I'm not used to driving a missile silo down the street," she says to her mother's great annoyance. They're both annoyed, actually -- Lorelai's been driving her mother around all day, and now Emily won't even tell her where they're going for this last errand. They snipe at each other, until Emily asks whether Lorelai's talked to Christopher lately. Lorelai says no, as Emily begins waxing fond on how handsome Christopher is, and how great his hair looks and blah blah blah. Lorelai tries to blow it off, but Emily won't give up the subject. As a matter of fact, Emily says, she's been trying to think of a nice girl to set him up with. So insane. I could never see Emily telling anyone that she's setting up the man who knocked up and then abandoned her daughter. I'm sure all the DAR ladies will think that's a great idea. Emily throws out a few suggestions that she's been thinking over, and Lorelai snittily shoots them all down, saying that they're either too stupid, not Christopher's type, or have no sense of humor. She seems very jealous, or perhaps just annoyed by Emily's classic interference, and concludes that Christopher does not need Emily messing around in his love life. Emily tsks and says that Rory thinks Chris is lonely, too. When a fellow motorist dares to honk at her, this time Lorelai is not so skittish. "I'm in a tank, pal," she says, honking again to show her supreme irritation. "Come and get me."
