Rory: What's the oil for?
Sookie: The turkey. My beautiful, expensive, organically grown turkey.
Lorelai: I don't get it.
Sookie: A couple of days ago, Jackson asked me if he could cook the turkey. I thought he was gonna roast it, you know, stick a couple of onions around it, something simple. So I said yes, figuring that the minute he put it in the oven and leaves the kitchen, I can sneak in and give it a nice herb-bitter rub and stuff it with a pancetta-chestnut stuffing.
Lorelai: Sure, 'cause he'd never notice that.
Sookie: Exactly. Then the propane tank arrived, and the industrial burner, and the fifteen gallons of peanut oil. Then he springs it on me, "I'm gonna deep-fry a turkey".
Lorelai: Deep-fried turkey.
Rory: Interesting.
Sookie: I tried to talk him out of it, but I'd already promised and now he's excited about it.
