Rory: [on the phone] Grandpa misses Grandma terribly.
Lorelai: Why? He say something like that?
Rory: I just know.
Lorelai: How?
Rory: Yesterday, when we had lunch on campus, Grandpa told me that he finished Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Hmm? You see?
Lorelai: You want to de-Mensa the reference?
Rory: No one sits at home alone reading that book unless it's a class assignment. It just doesn't happen. It's a honking long book. It's clearly a cry for help.
Lorelai: You're very anti-intellectual.
