The Quote

Quote from Paris in The Third Lorelai

Paris: I think that the basic structure of the Elizabethan government is sound. The division of power between the Monarchy, Privy Council and the Parliament all seem to work. Agreed?
Madeline: Agreed.
Louise: Ditto.
Paris: Okay, so in establishing our own government, I think duplicating a similar structure would be good with a few alterations. Queen Elizabeth chose to remain unwed. She took on the burden of leadership all by herself at a time when marrying the Prince of France or the King of Spain would've solidified her throne while expanding her empire. And though it obviously worked for her and the concept of a woman ruling without man is certainly politically correct these days, I think we need to take a different tact.
Madeline: [to Louise] She does know this is a make-believe government, right?
Louise: You ask her, I'm afraid.
Paris: So, in addition to the members of the political branches we'll also need a king and queen.
