Jason: I couldn't believe it. I thought it was one of those crazy, not-so-funny, Billy-Crystal-at-the-Oscars kind of jokes, so I spent the last two hours calling every client I could, and they're all gone.
Lorelai: Oh, Jason.
Rory: The ones I brought in from my father's company, the ones I've brought in since... all gone.
Lorelai: How could he do this? How could my father just take the business from you?
Jason: Oh, no, no, no. He left me the business, but without the clients, the business consists of some stationery, a coffee maker, and some rubber pencil grips.
