Rory: [answers phone] Hello?
Lorelai: Hi, it's me. I'm still in the kitchen. I just wanted to tell you that Sherry asked me if both of you could go out tonight. She trapped me into saying I'd get you out of Friday dinner. I said she had to ask you, so you can get out of it. But it may be good to get this over with, 'cause it seems inevitable. If you're okay going with her, say, "Sorry, Leonard, I'll call you back."
Rory: Sorry, Leonard, we've got company. Call you back. Okay. Bye. [hangs up]
Lorelai: Okay, here's your drink. Who was that?
Christopher: That was Leonard.
Lorelai: Oh, did you tell him we have company?
Rory: Yeah.
Christopher: Who's Leonard?
Rory: Oh, just, a friend.
Christopher: A friend of yours or a friend of Lorelai's?
Lorelai: Mutual friend.
Rory: Yeah, it's pretty much equal.
Christopher: A mutual Leonard.
Lorelai: Yeah, we're constantly fighting over him.
