Lorelai: Rory just dressed up in a cute apron the other day and so I was teasing her about it.
Richard: Why did you get dressed up in an apron?
Lorelai: Well, we've decided to give up on that pesky Harvard dream and focus on something more realistic. Mom, Dad, Rory's decided to become a maid, just like I was.
Emily: Is that funny? [to Richard] Did she think it was funny?
Richard: What would posses you say such a thing?
Emily: And in front of Rory?
Lorelai: I was kidding.
Emily: God, my heart stopped.
