Quote from Lorelai in Nick & Nora/Sid & Nancy
Luke: You were right. I am in so far over my head that I can't see my own hat. Lorelai: Try turning it around. Luke: What was I thinking? Why did I say yes to this? Lorelai: Because you saw a kid in need of help and you thought you'd throw him a line. Luke: But me? Raising a kid? I don't even like kids. They're always sticky, you know, like they've got jam on their hands. Even if there's no jam in the house, somehow they've always got jam on their hands. I'm not the right guy to deal with that. I have no patience for jam hands. Lorelai: Okay, slow down. First of all, Jess is 17 so he's probably past the jam hands stage by now. And second of all, you can do this. If you want to, you are totally capable. But you can't just buy a bed and some sheets and expect the rest to take care of itself. That will not work.
