Lorelai: Hey, I need you to run major introduction interference for me.
Luke: What?
Lorelai: Well, you have the advantage. No one knows you here, you can't insult them by forgetting their names. Vodka tonic.
Luke: And a beer.
Lorelai: Someone comes up, I'll take a drink. My mouth will be full, I can't talk. How would that look, right? Then you jump in, offer your hand. "Hi, Luke Danes. And you are?" "I'm Mr. Blockenfeffer.' By then I will have swallowed. "Oh hi, Mr. Blockenfeffer, I'm Lorelai, remember me?" "The bane of your mother's existence?" "Exactly. Nice to see you again." "Nice to see you again. And nice to meet you, Luke." "Nice to meet you, Mr. Blockenfeffer." "You kids have a lovely evening." "No, you have a lovely evening. Our love to Mrs. Blockenfeffer."
