Quote from Luke in Lost and Found
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.
