Rory: I'm just dreading this whole night. I mean, it's bad enough that I have to see these stupid kids from Chilton every day. But tonight, on my birthday? I've never even talked to most of them. I mean, I've only been going to this school for a couple of months. God, they're gonna think I am the biggest freak. That I need my grandma to get people to come to my party.
Lane: Well, what did Lorelai say when you told her?
Rory: I didn't.
Lane: Why not?
Rory: Because of the pudding.
Lane: Oh, the pudding. Right, I forgot about the pudding.
Rory: My grandmother served us pudding the other night. Then she went shopping with my mom, and they didn't fight. I don't know, I mean, they never get along. And now, suddenly, they're getting along. And I knew that if I told Mom about the invite, she'd wig out and call Grandma and that would be the end of the pudding.
