Quote from Luke in A Tale of Poes and Fire
Luke: I know there's nothing to hide. It's just that... you've kinda become a... Lorelai: Become what? Luke: A sore point with me and Nicole. Lorelai: What, how? Luke: Well, on our first date, I was a little nervous and I wasn't having any luck coming up with topics, so I was just kinda blabbing a lot. And then she ordered extra fries at dinner, so it reminded me of you and I told her a quick story about you and French fries, and that seemed fine. And then later, she ordered a third cup of coffee... Lorelai: Oh, Luke. Luke: And I mentioned you and your coffee thing, and I noticed that Nicole kind of reacted a little, and ever since then, she's been a little sensitive to the issue.
