Lorelai: Oh, wow, so you want me to lie.
Rory: No, you don't have to lie. It's all about how you present the truth. For example, you could have said, "My mother is a perfectionist."
Lorelai: Uh-huh. And do you promise to visit Mommy in jail?
Rory: Yes, I do.
Lorelai: Okay, then. My mother is a perfectionist.
Rory: Very good.
