Quote from Lorelai in The Prodigal Daughter Returns
Emily: Just let me buy my plane, Lorelai. Let me be frivolous and shallow, won't you, please? Lorelai: Okay. It's not the same, Mom, what happened with Rory. It's not the same. Emily: I lost her like I lost you. It feels remarkably similar to me. Lorelai: You didn't lose her like you lost me. She was never supposed to be there in the first place. She was always supposed to be at school. She just went back where she belonged. And you didn't lose me.
