Quote from Luke in The Bracebridge Dinner
Luke: Like last week, I discovered the secret of parenting. Lorelai: You did? The secret of parenting? Luke: The secret of parenting. Lorelai: When last week? Last Tuesday? Luke: I don't know the exact day. Lorelai: Tuesday at 5:15? Is that when you discovered the secret of parenting? Luke: Don't mock. Lorelai: Well, tell me. What is- Oh, wait. It's a secret. You can't tell me. Luke: No, I'll tell you. You visualize the reality you want. Lorelai: Visualize the reality you want. Luke: And then if necessary, you lie to bring it about. Lorelai: That is so much worse than I was expecting.
