Lorelai: Hi, Dad. What are you doing? I thought you were gonna tour the town.
Richard: Oh, I did. I did. I went into all the stores. The cat one, twice. And then I walked around a little, and then I was done.
Lorelai: What about the park? See the park?
Richard: Yes, I saw the park.
Lorelai: What about the giant slinky over on Klump? We're mighty proud of that.
Richard: I saw the slinky, yes, and the 100-year-old oak tree and the life-size yarn person. I even stopped by your house and had Babette introduce me to all her gnomes. And then I realized the only thing I had not seen is my daughter at work.
