Quote from Rory in The Breakup, Part 2
Rory: We just broke up. Lorelai: I don't understand. Rory: We went to dinner, and then we walked by the bonfire but it wasn't lit. So we went to this junkyard, and we sat in this car and... Oh, God! Lorelai: What? Rory: I forgot your meatball in the car. Lorelai: Oh, honey, forget it. Rory: Oh, I can't believe I left your meatball in the car. Lorelai: Okay, come on. Rory: After I told the waiter to wrap it up and everything. And everyone was like, "What do you want with one meatball?" And I was like, "It's a mother-daughter thing." I'm sure he thought I was nuts, but he was so nice. And he did it anyway. And he, uh, brought one of those little tinfoil swans or a duck or some kind of bird and then I left it in the car.
