Quote from Lorelai in Introducing Lorelai Planetarium
Rory: [on the phone] I'll come over the weekend. Lorelai: No, Rory, it has to be tonight. Rory: Why? Lorelai: Uh... s-snails. Rory: Snails? Lorelai: W-We... Your dad and I brought back snails. Rory: For eating? Lorelai: Yes, and if we don't cook them tonight, they'll go bad. Rory: Mom. Lorelai: Well, it's true. It has to be tonight.
