The three girls walked into Luke's, Dani stumbling as she tried to write something up her arm as well as trying not to walk into moving cars. Lorelai managed to veer her through the crowd that inhabited Luke's and they sat down at a free table.
"Wow, busy today. Has Luke been advertising or something?" Dani finally looked up from her now ink-covered arm.
"He gets good word-of-mouth." Rory shrugged, grabbing the menu.
"Well, we have to start spreading bad word-of-mouth so we can always have a table." Lorelai suggested making Dani grin.
"Well, that would be wrong, but sure. Vermin?" Rory said.
"Or no potable water." Lorelai added.
"Or no potable vermin." Dani smiled.
"That would scare them away." Lorelai nodded.
"Or confuse them away." Rory laughed.
Lorelai looked over and saw Luke chatting to a customer, "It's so weird to see him talking like that."
"Like what?" Dani asked, frowning.
"Just all friendly. He's usually only good for a quick couple of gruff monosyllables, and then he's off." Lorelai explained, resting her head on her hand.
"He is the master of the monosyllable." Rory agreed.
"He never flirts with any of the women, do you notice that?" Lorelai hummed.
"He's flirted with you numerous times." Dani pointed out and Rory nodded.
"Don't start." Lorelai warned her.
Rory smiled, "Hey, flirt with him now, we need coffee."
"I don't want to see this, I'm going to call Tammy, I'm pretty sure that she kept some of my clothes." Dani sighed. "Bye, troublesome children." She smiled and left, wandering over to one of the pay-phones, dialing Tammy's home number.

"Agh." Lorelai groaned as Rory walked into the kitchen.
"What?" Rory frowned.
"The car won't start." Dani explained, "Mom killed it, mercilessly."
Rory sighed, "What happened?
"I don't know. It's just dead. I turned the key and it makes a horrible sound." Lorelai groaned again.
"What kind of sound?"
"Like rrrar, rrrar, rrrar." Lorelai gave an example.
"You know, but less feminine." Dani added with a chuckle.
