Quote from Emily in Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels
Lorelai: [on the phone] Mom, I already said I'd go. Emily: But we still have a half empty table. Lorelai: Well, fewer people to fight over the centerpiece. Emily: Stop it. This is not funny. The last person who didn't fill her table was Loretta Bobbins. Do you remember Loretta Bobbins? Lorelai: No. Emily: Exactly! Once you do not fill your table, you do not get another table to fill. You are off the list.
