Quote from Emily in Rory's Dance
Emily: The owls are endangered, and Chilton is taking donations to help them. You gave a very nice one, in case you're interested. Lorelai: Mom, don't be giving donations on Rory's behalf. I'll do that. Emily: How can you when you don't read the newsletter? Lorelai: I read the newspaper. Emily: You didn't know they were taking donations. Lorelai: It's a private school. They're always taking donations. I'll get them next time. Emily: Well, what about the owls? Lorelai: They'll live. Emily: Apparently they won't, dear. That's why they need the donations in the first place.
