Lorelai: [on the phone] How is Dad?
Emily: He's completely fallen apart. From the moment he heard the news, he's been almost incoherent.
Lorelai: Oh, no.
Emily: He's in his office now with the Scotch, and he wants turtleneck soup. Asks for it over and over.
Lorelai: What's turtleneck soup?
Emily: Apparently something his mother used to have made for him when he was a little boy, and now he wants some, and I can't seem to find anybody who has any idea what it is.
