Emily: Lorelai, you do not do this. You do not just leave a person a note.
Young Lorelai: Okay, see the timing here?
Emily: "Dear Mom and Dad, I'm in labor. See you later, Lorelai."
Richard: Emily, please, I feel ridiculous.
Emily: You're having a baby. Do you know that, Lorelai?
Young Lorelai: Well, that explains the stomachache.
Emily: You do not leave your house when you are having a baby without telling your mother. You say, "Excuse me, Mom. I'm having a baby, give me a ride to the damn hospital!"
Richard: Emily, please, I wore the wrong shoes for this.
Emily: Of all the things in the world I had a right to do, driving my daughter to the hospital to give birth, especially since she's sixteen years old and doesn't have her driver's license yet, is definitely one of them.
