Lorelai: Seven years ago on this very stage in this very costume, I flinched.
Rory: No, you didn't.
Lorelai: Yes, I did. You weren't watching. I was in denial. I just didn't want Taylor to be right, but he was. I flinched.
Rory: Well, so what? You flinched a little. I bet most people didn't see it. Stevie Wonder could have seen it. I almost knocked Terrence down.
Lorelai: I flinched. I am a big, fat flincher!
Rory: But that was a long time ago.
Lorelai: Once a flincher, always a flincher.
Rory: No, no, Mom. That was seven years ago. You're different now.
Lorelai: Yeah, I am. I'm less stable. My muscles are weaker and my bones are more fragile. There are a dozen more ways for me to wobble now. I'm a Weeble, and Weebles wobble. I'm gonna blow the whole finale and the town is gonna hate me.
