Lorelai: Listen, can we just start all over, okay? You tell me all about the guy, and I promise not to let my head explode. Huh? Rory, please talk to me. [sighs] Okay, I'll talk. Don't get me wrong, guys are great. I am a huge fan of guys. You don't get knocked up at 16 being indifferent to guys. Babe, guys are always gonna be there. This school isn't. It's more important. It has to be more important.
Rory: I'm going to sleep.
Lorelai: Rory, you've always been the sensible one in this house. Huh? I need you to remember that feeling now. You will kick your own butt later if you blow this.
Rory: Well, it's my butt.
Lorelai: Good comeback.
Rory: Thank you.
Lorelai: You're welcome.
Lorelai: Rory, come on.
Rory: I don't want to talk about this. Could you please, please just leave me alone?
Lorelai: Okay. Fine. [clears throat] We've always had a democracy in this house. We never did anything unless we both agreed. But now I guess I'm gonna have to play the mom card. You are going to Chilton whether you want to or not. Monday morning, you will be there. End of story.
Rory: We'll see.
Lorelai: Yeah, we will. [closes door]
