Taylor Doose: This troubadour act is a money-making scheme. Why else would he be doing it?
Rory: Because sometimes you have something to say, but you can't because the words won't come out, or you get scared, or feel stupid. So, if you could write a song and sing it, then you could say what you need to. And it would be beautiful, and people would listen and you wouldn't make a complete idiot out of yourself. But all of us can't be songwriters. So some of us will never be able to say what we're thinking or what we want others to know we're thinking. So we'll never get the chance to make things right again, ever. So... give this guy a license.
Lorelai: Well, I liked that little speech.
