Quote from Emily in Written in the Stars
Emily: [on the phone] Your father came home at 8:30. He went inside the poolhouse for five minutes, and he got back in his car, and he drove away again. Lorelai: Mom, this is really not a good- Emily: Traipsing all over the place at all hours of the night. Lorelai: Uh-huh. Mom, where are you? You sound very far away. Emily: Park Road. Lorelai: Park Road. Why? Emily: I'm not gonna be the one that sits at home alone in the dark like an Italian widow. If he can go out, then I can go out, so I went out. Lorelai: Well, good for you. Emily: I figured I'd have dinner. I already had dinner. But if Richard's having two dinners, then I can have two dinners, so I went to a place I used to eat at when I was in college. And do you know what I found? It's a 'Lube-And-Tune' with an X-rated T-shirt store next door.
