Lorelai: You love doing school things.
Rory: I don't love doing school things when it involves the entire school staring at me while I'm doing 'em.
Lorelai: You had to give your vice presidential acceptance speech in front of the entire school.
Rory: Yeah, but I had to do that.

Lorelai: Yeah, you know what I mean.
