Lorelai: See, I have really strict rules about dating. I keep my personal life totally separate from my life with Rory. You know, I never want her to feel unsettled or like her life could just shift at any moment.
Max Medina: I totally understand.
Lorelai: And she comes first, and this her house, too.
Max Medina: I understand. This is something that you don't do often.
Lorelai: Ever.
Max Medina: Ever?
Lorelai: Never.
Max Medina: I see.
Lorelai: I mean, I've dated. And, you know, dated. [chuckles] But I've just never dated here, in our house.
