Quote from Miss Patty in Rory's Birthday Parties
Rory: Okay. New story. Miss Patty: Well, I'm still crushed beyond belief that she quit her ballet lessons. Lorelai: Oh, not me. Miss Perfect Work Ethic would prance around this room 24 hours a day. Rory: And I still stunk. Lane: I can vouch for that. Miss Patty: That's not true. Morey: She was pretty bad. Miss Patty: Don't you listen to them. You had a true gift. [Emily gets up and leaves] What? She did. She was talented.
