Quote from Emily in The Third Lorelai
Lorelai: [on the phone] You need a Christmas present back? Emily: Temporarily. Lorelai: Why, Mom? Emily: Because Richard's mother gave it to us, and she'll notice if it's not there. Lorelai: You gave me a used present? Emily: No, we never used it. Lorelai: I can't believe it. Emily: You'll get it back. Lorelai: You gave me a secondhand present, like something you got at the junk store. Emily: You're being a little dramatic. It was still in the crate. Lorelai: Huh. You actually went, "What should I get Lorelai this year? You know what? I can't be bothered. Let's give her something we don't want." Emily: You're not funny. Lorelai: What would Miss Manners say to this? Emily: If she met your grandma, she'd understand.
