Emily: Okay, now pretend I'm not here. You girls and I can chat later.
Lorelai: Okay. Well, um, Rory, oh my God, did I tell you about the horrendous thing that Mom did? She can be such a witch with a 'B'.
Emily: Lorelai.
Lorelai: Oh, geez, Mom, I forgot you were there. My pretending is that good.
Rory: We can't really pretend you're not here, Grandma.
Richard: That's true, Emily. You have a presence that cannot be ignored.
