Quote from Michel in Eight O'Clock at the Oasis
Lorelai: This is cool. Michel: Yes, it was a personal purchase. Lorelai: I want it, what is it? Michel: An eighteenth century bleeding bowl. Lorelai: A bleeding bowl? Michel: When doctors bled patients, the blood had to go somewhere, no? Lorelai: Okay. Return lamp, pick up Rory, boil right hand.
