Quote from Rory in Will You Be My Lorelai Gilmore?
Rory: Are you sure we got enough plain onesies? Lorelai: Let me see. 40 people have RSVped "yes" to Lane's shower, and we bought 60 onesies for them to decorate. I don't want to go all Beautiful Mind on you, but according to my calculations... Rory: Yes, Mr. Nash, but you are forgetting about the first-pancake phenomenon. Lorelai: Huh? Rory: Yes, the first pancake. You always throw it out. What if people start decorating their onesies and they hate what they do, so they want to start over and we don't have enough onesies because we only estimated one each? Lorelai: Why do you throw out the first pancake? Rory: Well, because the griddle's too hot. It gets burned. Lorelai: Oh, my god. Next year, no excuses. We are making you that audition tape for Top Chef. Rory: This is pretty basic stuff. Lorelai: Do you do it with hamburgers and waffles, too? Rory: No, it's pancake-specific.
