Lorelai: So, Dad, how's retired life treating you?
Richard: Fascinating, actually. I find myself noticing things. Everyday things that I must have witnessed a hundred times before and just walked right past. Like yesterday, your mother moved a vase, the one in the hall. And she didn't do it in front of me.
Lorelai: Oh, no, 'cause nice girls never move vases in front of men.
Richard: And she only moved it a little but as I passed it by, I noticed it had been moved.
Rory: Impressive.
Richard: And every day's a new discovery. Your mother changed her hair or she wore shoes that didn't match her purse.
Emily: Richard.
Richard: Last Thursday.
Emily: Oh, for heaven's sake.
