Quote from Emily in The Third Lorelai
Emily: I have to get out everything she has ever given us. Thirty-five years' worth of fish lamps and dog statues, lion tables and stupid naked angels with their butts! Lorelai: Whoa. Stupid naked angel butts? What, did David Mamet just stop by? Emily: Leave, please. Lorelai: Mom, calm down. Emily: I can't calm down! That lampshade is missing, and the china is cracked. And I can't remember which table it is she gave us for our 10-year anniversary. Lorelai: Mother, Grandma is a very old woman. I highly doubt she'll remember everything she ever bought you. Emily: She will remember down to the last shrimp fork. And do you know why? Lorelai: No. Do you know why? Emily: Because she doesn't just give you a present. She gives you a present, then tells you where to put it how to use it, what it costs, for insurance purposes, of course. And God forbid if you have a different opinion or you don't think it works in the space. Or you get tired of waking up every day with those animals staring at you! Lorelai: She's just upset. Emily: Stop talking to the dogs!
