Lorelai: Kirk, you have a date.
Kirk: No, just an appointment to take Lulu to dinner.
Lorelai: That's a date.
Kirk: I don't have high hopes for it, if that's what you're thinking.
Lorelai: Kirk, it's very sweet, but are you sure you want to have dinner in your living room?
Kirk: Well, the breakfast nook doesn't seem festive enough.
Lorelai: Right, but while you're having dinner in your living room, where will your mother be?
Kirk: Probably in the living room.
Lorelai: Is that what you really want? To have dinner with your mother watching?
Kirk: I could ask her to face the wall.
