Quote from Richard in Twenty-One is the Loneliest Number
Lorelai: What's wrong, Dad? Richard: You know what's wrong. Rory's wrong. It's all wrong. She's not going back to Yale. It's my fault. Lorelai: Rory made a choice, dad. Richard: I could've stopped her, and I didn't. I cleared the path for her to walk away from her goal, her life. Lorelai: Dad. Richard: She's having sex, Lorelai. She's having sex under my roof. I paid $40,000 to redecorate her sex house. I bought her her sex mattress, her sex box springs. I provided everything she needs to waste her life. Lorelai: Dad, Rory having sex is not your fault, really. She was having sex way before the big renovation. Richard: I feel so much better now.
