Taylor Doose: Onto the next order of business. Our esteemed friend and neighbor Kirk would like a permit to do his performance-art piece called "Kirk-in-a-box" in the town square.
Kirk: It isn't a performance-art piece. It is a feat of endurance an attempt to stretch the bounds of human possibility.
Miss Patty: And what exactly is "Kirk-in-a-box"?
Kirk: I will be suspended 20 feet above the street in a clear Lucite box with no food or water.
Lorelai: Oh, like David Blaine?
Kirk: Not at all. My box is smaller.
Babette: Why?
Kirk: Because Lucite is very costly.
Babette: No. Why are you doing it?
Kirk: To see if I can.
