Richard: You know, Emily, you weren't such an innocent little doe lost in the woods yourself.
Emily: I beg your pardon?
Lorelai: They're turning on each other, I love it.
Richard: I'll have you know, I was happily involved in a very serious relationship when your mother decided she simply had to have me.
Emily: Oh, the size of your ego, I swear.
Richard: Linny Lott.
Emily: That mouse?
Richard: Oh, that mouse and I were engaged.
Emily: Oh, you were not.
Richard: I'd given her my pin, I'd introduced her to my parents.
Emily: So?
Richard: The date was set, invitations mailed out.
Lorelai: Mom.
Emily: Well, you couldn't marry Linny Lott. That woman needed directions to get to a point. [Lorelai imitates a cat screeching]
