Taylor Doose: [on the phone] Sores and Boils Alley is one of the most historical places in all Stars Hollow. In the 18th century, if you had a sore or a boil, you came to Stars Hollow to have it lanced-
Lorelai: Yeah, but-
Taylor Doose: to the very site of your establishment. Word is, they also had a leper colony in your garage. I'm trying to verify that. If we do, you get a plaque.
Lorelai: Okay, Taylor, look.
Taylor Doose: Truth is, this town wouldn't be here without your street. Sores and boils may seem minor to us now, as we sit here with our sea breeze astringent and our pond's cold cream, but time was they were the scourge with no cure. And where was that noble work done? Where were the sick cured and the suffering put at ease? I'll tell you where, on Sores and Boils Alley. In fact, I even have a valuable collection of antique lances. Yours for the asking, as a loaner, of course. The Dragonfly can display them in the lobby assuming you're bonded.
Lorelai: Look, the historical thing, it's swell. The boils and sores and lepers and lances, great stuff, if you're running a hospice in the 18th century. But I'm running an inn in the 21st.
Taylor Doose: And?
Lorelai: People come here for a beautiful, nice, romantic time. And part of what I slightly overcharge them for is the ambiance.
Taylor Doose: Is there a point here?
Lorelai: The point is that I don't want to have to go around advertising, "come to historic Stars Hollow. It's not as gross as it sounds."
