Strummy la la. Rory walks into the pizza shop and finds Jon Polito, Kirk (with bandaged hands) and a white guy with an Afro. That sounds like the setup to a bad joke. Jon Polito says they have a plan, and Rory says she has a check. Jon Polito says they've solved that transportation problem, and that instead of doing one huge pizza, they are going to do a hundred little pizzas all sitting next to each other. Rory doesn't want that. Afro Guy suggests they put the little pizza together and put pepperoni over the open spots. Jon Polito says it'll look like one big pizza. Afro Guy says they could also put cheese over the holes, and Kirk tells him not to say "the C word." Rory says it won't work and orders them to make a "crazy large" pizza, per the original concept. She draws a comparison between Gangs of New York with Cameron Diaz versus Gangs of New York as it was originally supposed to be made, with Meryl Streep. It was? I totally missed that story. ["She means, when Scorsese originally planned to make the movie, in the '70s, who he would cast. Like, I think De Niro was supposed to be Bill the Butcher." -- Wing Chun] I'm also totally distracted by the fact that Rory is all hunched over and I don't know if Alexis Bledel just has really bad posture or if her backpack is too heavy. Rory says that tonight is her mother's birthday party and that everyone expects a huge pizza, so they just have to do it. She runs out. Kirk says he can't picture Meryl Streep with Leonardo DiCaprio.
