On Sunday, after work, Briar came home with leftover pizza and sandwiches, which wasn't unusual.
Lorelai was painting Rory's toenails red.
"Oh, good, you're home," Lorelai said. "Hey, put that stuff in the fridge and come back out so I can paint your toenails red."
"Why?" asked Briar, confused.
"Because you're going to a private school now and everyone knows that bad girls go to private school and wear red nail polish," explained Lorelai.
"But we're going to be wearing shoes," Rory stated. "No one's going to see our feet."
"Unless shoes aren't a part of the dress code and the school is run by Quentin Taratino," Briar pointed out.
"Yeah, well..." Lorelai started. "Are you both nervous?"
"About what?" asked Rory.
"About starting Chilton," Lorelai replied.
"Well, I wasn't until I heard about all those bad girls," Rory said.
"Are you afraid that they're going to steal your lunch money because your toenails aren't painted red?" asked Briar.
Lane ran past Briar, waving a CD, "Guys, guys! New CD – XTC, Apple Venus Volume 2." She ran into the house to play the CD.
Lorelai got up, cheering, "Nails done!" She ran for the door.
"But you only finished half my toes!"
Lorelai called back, "Who cares? You're gonna be wearing shoes anyway!"
Briar went inside the house so Lane and Lorelai could eat the pizza while listening to XTC's new album.
