Luke: I just spent $100,000, and it's all your fault!
Lorelai: Oh, good.
Luke: I ran into Taylor at the market. I found out he owns the building that apartment was in.
Lorelai: No way.
Luke: That and several others all over town.
Lorelai: So weird.
Luke: He's systematically buying up the town. He's going to turn it into Taylorville, where everyone wears cardigans and have the same grass height.
