Rory: Doesn't your mom already kind of know because of the house debacle?
Lorelai: No, she suspects, but she doesn't know know. I'm gonna have to tell them.
Rory: Well, just tell them real quick, like ripping a band-aid off.
Lorelai: Like ripping a band-aid off that's been superglued, stapled, and surgically embedded in my arm.
Rory: Just tell them, and then we can move on. We can talk about more pleasant things, like the Middle East.
Lorelai: I don't know how they're gonna come at me, you know. I know they're gonna come at me, but I don't know how. I mean, it could be guilt, pity, anger, contempt. They have so many options.
Rory: Well, in all likelihood, it will be a combination of all of those.
