Rory: You're hiding your flowers?
Lorelai: Yes. 'Cause when people see flowers, they feel happy and welcome. It's important that my parents have as few positive associations about being here as possible.
Rory: Well, we could hit them over the head with mallets when they walk in the door.
Lorelai: No, but I do have this incredibly bad-smelling perfume that Luke gave me for Christmas last year that I could spray around the house. It's like a cross between Love's Baby Soft and Curious by Britney Spears, with just a hint of Lysol thrown in.
Rory: Delightful.
Lorelai: Well, God bless him, he tries.
