Lorelai's brought Luke a plate of food. She asks how "the money pit" is coming. Luke points at a room and says, "That's it." She asks what's wrong. He says nothing's wrong. Then he says nobody's coming to the funeral. None of his relatives are coming. Some of them can't get out of work, a couple doesn't want to miss their kid's rugby semi-finals, others are too tired from a fishing trip. One has a sick parrot. Luke impersonates the parrot's two-word vocabulary: "Gorgeous, Petey!" Lorelai says if they don't want to come, then it wasn't worth having them. Luke says his father wanted them to come to the funeral. Lorelai says that Louie lived there a long time, so many Stars Hollow people will come to the service. She says it's probably better this way. Luke says he really hates the bird. Rory walks into the room. Lorelai asks if there's a problem with the customers. Rory says that Jackson's outside and wants to talk to her. She says he seems upset. Lorelai checks to see if Luke's okay before she heads downstairs to solve another crisis. She tells Luke to brush up on his diner talk. Rory asks where Jess is. Luke says he's probably out playing basketball. "That little punk," Rory huffs.
