Lorelai: [inhales deeply] Mom. I have something to tell you.
Emily: Yes?
Lorelai: Well, it's like this, um... Could you put down your fork for a second? Thank you. Okay, um... You know Max?
Emily: No, I don't.
Lorelai: I know you don't know-him know him, but you know of him, right?
Emily: I've heard rumblings.
Lorelai: Okay, well, um... Max and I have been serious for quite a while now. He asked me to marry him and I said yes. I'm getting married.
Emily: Well, I think that's very nice. I certainly hope we'll be in town for it, but if not, we'll send a nice gift. Now excuse me. I'm going to check on the roast.
