Emily: I want a weekly dinner.
Lorelai: What?
Emily: Friday nights, you and Rory will have dinner here.
Lorelai: Mom.
Emily: And you have to call us once a week to give us an update on her schooling and your life. That's it. That's the condition. If you agree, you'll come to dinner tomorrow night and leave here with the check. Otherwise, I'm sorry, we can't help you.
Lorelai: I... I don't want her to know that I borrowed money from you. Can that just be between us?
Emily: Does 7:00 work for you?
Lorelai: [smiles] Perfect.
