"Tomorrow our lawyer, Joseph Stanford, is coming by." Emily told them as she took a sip of her tea.

"Ugh. Crazy sissy's dad." Lorelai said setting her tea down.

"That's terrible. Sissy was a good friend of yours."

"Mom, sissy talk to her stuffed animals and they answered her."

"Let's just start a new topic." Rory smiled.

"You're impossible."

"She said a new topic, Mom."

"Everything's a joke. Everyone's a punch line." Emily kept going.

"How about that new topic." Harper chuckled raising her tea in the air at nothing as shook her head, trying her best not to laugh to hard.

"Okay, I'm sorry."

"My daughter, Henny Youngman." 

"Sorry for that, a little trouble in our china office. What did I miss?" Richard came to the table and sat down.

"I was being impossible then I turned into a Jewish comedian." Lorelai told him.

"Oh. Well, continue." Richard smiled.

"Right. Where was I?" Emily asked.

"Joseph Stanford is coming by." Harper reminded her.

"Yes, so, Rory, Harper. You grandfather and I thought it might be nice, after dinner, for you to go around the house and pick out what you'd like is to leave you in our will." Emily smiled at them.

"Take a look at that desk in my office. It's a really fine Georgian piece." Richard smiled at them.

"Why don't I ever bring a tape recorder to these dinners?" Lorelai said as the sisters looked at each other.

"Anything you want to leave us is fine." Harper told her taking a drink of her wine.

"Nonsense. You should have what you like. Just look around, if you see something you like you just stick a post-it on it." Emily smiled at them.

"Okay, you two have hit a level of weird that even I marvel at."

"You can pick out things, too."

"Oh, well no it's less creepy."

"Do you hear that, Richard? Apparently were creepy."

"Yes, well, you live and learn." Richard said as a maid came out with dessert.

"Oh, cool!" Rory said as she set it on her plate.

"Thank you!" Harper smiled at the lady.

"What's that?" Lorelai asked

"It's dessert."

"It's pudding."

"Well, if you knew what it was why did you ask?"

"You don't like pudding." Lorelai looked at her as Harper ate a spoon full of it.

"Yes, but you like pudding."

"Oh, I love pudding. I worship it. I have a bowl up on the mantel at home with a virgin mary class of wine and a dollar bill next to it."

"I've never had pudding from a crystal bowl before." Rory said as Harper nodded along.

"You like the bowl?" Emily asked her and Rory nodded her head, "Put a post-it on it when you're done." Emily told her and Rory smiled as Harper rolled her eyes.

After dinner Harper, Lorelai, and Rory all got post-its and started walking around the house. Lorelai set a giant sculpture on the table as Rory and Harper looked around.
