Lorelai: You know, I'd say let's drive, but our streets... forget about it.
Emily: What about the streets?
Lorelai: Oh, they're clogged night and day. Yep, total gridlock. It's not gonna help when they build that big box store.
Emily: They're building a box store?
Lorelai: Oh, yeah, right in the center of town.
Richard: Those things are hideous.
Lorelai: Yeah, it's gonna wipe out all our local businesses. This place will be a ghost town. Ooh, hold your breath. Oh, God, sorry. Sewer problems.
Richard: Your public-works department needs to be notified.
Lorelai: No, they're on strike. Well, they're always on strike. [coughs] Excuse me.
Emily: Allergies?
Lorelai: Meth lab. [coughs]
