Kirk asks for more coffee again. Lorelai walks over to serve him. Kirk stops her and says he's a "quarter-caff." He only takes one-quarter caffeinated and the rest decaffeinated. Lorelai says she "four-fourths" doesn't care. Kirk tells her to fill it up. Great people skills. How does she run an inn? Luke complains to Lorelai that the world is full of people who micromanage their lives to such a second that they can't wait on anything. Hey, Luke? It's called breakfast. It's the beginning of the day. They have to go to work. If you mess up and make them wait for an extra hour? They get fired. Can't keep going to your diner because they have no money. Fix the eggs on the double, Mel, or Flo's gonna have to make you kiss her grits. Lorelai notes that they're running out of coffee. Luke goes to make some more, but Lorelai says she knows how to make coffee. In fact, she's the "bastard offspring of Mrs. Folger and Juan Valdez." I think Daniel meant "love child," since Juan's appearance makes her not a bastard. Rory asks Luke where Jess is. Luke says he doesn't know. Rory asks if he could be at school. Luke scoffs, knowing that his parental skills aren't sharp enough to keep a juvenile delinquent going to class on a regular basis. Lorelai pours a full pound of coffee into the filter as Luke tries to make her stop. He says that it's too strong and that not everybody likes it that strong. Also, expensive to use a full pound every pot. Lorelai cares about none of these things. None. She says she'll convert them and calls herself the "Jehovah's Coffee Girl." Whatever. She's wearing a Lucky Brand t-shirt that costs almost a hundred dollars. Somehow Lorelai never really has to worry about money. ["That's true, but it's not a Lucky Brand shirt. It's from Urban Outfitters, and I know because Niki's boyfriend made the screen. You may have also seen that design on Oswald recently." -- Wing Chun]
