Lorelai: I think some traditions are nice. Birthdays, holidays, taking a walk in the first snow of the season.
Luke: I didn't get the Hallmark card for that one.
Lorelai: When I was five, I had a really bad ear infection and I had been home in bed for a week, and I was very sad. So I wished really hard that something wonderful would happen to me. And I woke up the next morning, and it had snowed. And I was sure that some fairy godmother had done it just for me. It was my little present.
Luke: Your parents never explained the concept of weather?
Lorelai: I am making a point, Mouthy McGee. Of course, many years later I realized that, logically, the snow was not there for me personally. But still, when it snows, something inside me says: "Hey, that's your present." I don't think it'll ever change.
