Richard Gilmore
- Emily: Rory threw out the entire menu for the Fort Drum event. I mean, granted, Constance was going with Cornish game hen, been there, done that. And her fetish for Brussels sprouts is upsetting. But to throw out the entire menu? So close to the event?
- Richard Gilmore: I can't say that I'm a big fan of DAR cuisine. So I may not be of much help.
- Emily: I'm trying not to butt in, but how can I not worry?
- Richard Gilmore: [Opens book] By not thinking about it.
- Emily: Is there still a USO?
- Richard Gilmore: I think so. Why?
- Emily: That's the theme, the USO. Or that's where it's being held. Oh, my god, she didn't change the menu and the location? Is that possible?
- Richard Gilmore: You should ask her.
- Emily: I'm trying to keep out of it.
- Richard Gilmore: You're doing a terrific job.
- Emily: She's not serving salmon puffs. We've never not served salmon puffs. Not in 25 years have we staged an event without salmon puffs.
- Richard Gilmore: Emily, please. It's Rory. What she tackles, she conquers. This girl could name the state capitals at three. Recite the periodic table at four. Discuss Schopenhauer's influence on Nietzsche when she was ten. She's read every book by every author with a Russian surname and had a 4.2 grade-point average at one of the toughest schools on the east coast. If she's excluding salmon puffs, she has a good reason to exclude salmon puffs. And I, for one, have complete confidence in her ability to tackle this job, and so should you.

- Emily: [Wistful] Salmon puffs...
