Quote from Lorelai in The Party's Over
Rory: [on the phone] So, you're off the hook. Lorelai: Off the hook, for what? Rory: Friday night. Grandma and Grandpa are having a party for their Yale alumni friends. Lorelai: Really? This is news. Rory: So you're free as a bird. Lorelai: Wow, Friday night without my mother! I don't know if I can deal. You might have to come over and force-feed me pickled herring and tell me what a disappointment I am.
