Tom asks if he can talk with Lorelai and Sookie. He reminds them that a fancy sink is coming the next day. Sookie says they can't install it until she sees it. Tom says they won't even leave it without her approval. Then he asks the workers to give them some privacy. Tom tells Sookie and Lorelai that he really likes them, and that it's not just because they're nice and smell pretty. But it appears as though Lorelai hasn't been paying Tom (so it's a little strange he just hired CuteDean). Lorelai swears she'll pay him soon enough. This is all news to Sookie. Lorelai makes Sookie leave so that she can talk to Tom without anyone in the middle freaking out like a kid. Lorelai tells Tom she's trying to take out a loan at the bank, and that they've just been hit with an avalanche of things. Tom says that because she and Sookie are so nice and smell pretty, he and his crew won't walk off the job, but that they'll have to soon. Lorelai thanks him for being so awesome. Lorelai asks if he'd like a hug. Tom says he's kind of dirty right now, so he'd prefer it if she whistled at him in front of the guys later on. Lorelai then leans over one foot and says, "Hey," and Sookie walks out from behind the wall. Awkward blocking. Sookie asks if they're dead broke. Lorelai says they're getting there. Sookie says they can skip the expensive stove from France. Lorelai says they won't do that, since Sookie has four pictures in her wallet: one of Jackson, one of the baby, and two of that stove. They debate dropping the horses. Sookie doesn't want to lose the horses. Lorelai says they could drop one of the horses. Sookie asks, "Who's making that choice, Sophie?" Lorelai asks if Jackson can give them money. Sookie asks if Lorelai's parents can give them money. And this is when they decide that it's time to hit up Luke for cash. Sookie reasons, "He's a hermit, so we know he's got money." Lorelai agrees to use Luke only as a last resort. ["They're going to beg Luke for money before giving up the horses? Lord, I think I might know how they got into this predicament in the first place." -- Wing Chun]
