Emily: "Would you call your mother an extremely critical woman? Long pause." Why was there a long pause, Lorelai?
Lorelai: Because I was deliberately trying to hurt you, Mom.
Emily: "On a scale from one to ten, what would you rate your mother in terms of compassion for others' feelings?" Wanna guess what she said?
Rory: No, thank you.
Lorelai: Mom.
Emily: Hang on a second, Lorelai. I just want to skip to the Ben Hur reference.
Lorelai: [to Rory] Yeah, I did.
