Quote from Lorelai in The Third Lorelai
Trix: So, Lorelai, since I've seen you last, you've grown up, gotten pregnant out of wedlock, raised a child, and still haven't bothered to get married. Have I left anything out? Lorelai: Well, uh, some time in between growing up and getting pregnant, I got my ears pierced. Trix: I've always hated scandal. However, I've always appreciated self-sufficiency. Tell me, how do you support this child? Lorelai: I run an inn. Trix: Hard work? Lorelai: Yes, it is. Trix: Good. Hard work is good for a woman. Makes her stronger. I admire people who enjoy hard work.
