Quote from Lorelai in Friday Night's Alright for Fighting
Lorelai: Keep him occupied for a second. Sookie: Hi, Paul Anka. You want to come have a sleepover at my house, huh? What are you doing? Lorelai: Uh, he freaks out if he sees his leash. You have to make sure you hide it from him, make sure he doesn't see you putting it on him. Sookie: How is he once he's on the leash? Lorelai: Oh, he's totally fine having his personal freedom slowly stripped away as long as he's completely unaware that it's happening. Just like a true American.
