Lorelai: So, who taught you about all this business stuff? Your dad?
Luke: Please. My dad didn't even have a checking account till I finally got taller than he was. He bought this land with cash from working construction, built this place himself. Didn't have a bookkeeper, an accountant, or anything.
Lorelai: Wow. So you had no one showing you the ropes.
Luke: No, I figured I had to dive in on my own, fail if that's my destiny and forget what the experts say.
Lorelai: That is exactly my philosophy. Exactly. Except I'm not on my own, I'm diving in with Sookie. And failure is not even a choice of destinies. And I'm consulting any expert who will listen to me. Otherwise, it's identical.
Luke: I should be getting going. You gonna write this meal off?
Lorelai: Why?
Luke: We talked business. You gotta be thinking about these things.
Lorelai: No, I mean, "Why? I'm not paying for it." [Luke sighs] Exactly.
