Mrs. Burdiness: Don't worry about being late for your next class. I'll write you a note if you want.
Rory: Okay.
Mrs. Burdiness: I know from your records you're a stickler for punctuality.
Lorelai: I am a stickler, yes. I only slipped one time last year. I hit a deer. Actually, he hit me. Or she did. Or not me, my car. But, um, then he or she ran away, and I think it turned out okay. I didn't see it again, so I can't definitively say. But I did look for him or her. [sighs] It's a big story for me. I'm surprised I don't tell it better.
