Quote from Lorelai in I Solemnly Swear
Emily: Didn't I tell you this was important, Lorelai? Lorelai: Yes, you did. Emily: So, in spite of the fact that I told you it was important, you couldn't find it in your heart to put aside your personal antagonism toward me for one day and help me out. Lorelai: Mom, this is not fair. I said a lot of nice things about you in there. Emily: Oh, really? "Would you say your mother sets impossible goals which people cannot help but fail to reach, thereby reinforcing her already formed opinion of their deficiencies? Answer – Only for her daughter." Lorelai: Okay, not there, but keep flipping.
