Lorelai: Rory, I was supposed to graduate from high school, go to Vassar, marry a Yale man, get myself a proper nickname like Babe or Bunny or Shitsu.

Lorelai: I humiliated them. The two proudest people in the world, and I humiliated them. I spoiled their plans. I took their fine upbringing in a world of comfort and opportunity, and I threw it in their faces. I broke their hearts, and they'll never forgive me. I guess I can't expect them to.
Rory: Maybe you're wrong about how they feel about all this. It was a long time ago.
Lorelai: Rory, I don't want them to go. It'll just hurt them, and me.
