Lorelai tells Sookie and Michel - "It means nothing!"
Sookie rants - "It means we'll be forced to close. I'll have to go work at a Cinnabon, which I guess is better than working at Cinnaboil.
Lorelai continues to tell them - "We will not Close!" and continues talking into the phone - "Uh huh. Well, Joey, if his car is still there then he's probably still there too, right?... Yes, I am exactly like Angela Landsbury."
Michel mumbles to no one in particular - "I wonder if the Soho Grand is hiring."
Lorelai, a bit frustrated to both of them - "I want you both to chill out. I'm going to fix this as soon as I get Taylor on the phone."
Sookie ripostes - "Okay. Maybe if we come up with a catchy phrase. Something funny so it seems like we're in on the joke, you know? Like we're aware, ironic and hip.
Michel, still whining - "like what? What catchy phrase using the words Sores and Boils will make us seem like we're in on the joke?"
