Lorelai: Listen, Dad, this money isn't...
Richard: Isn't what?
Lorelai: It isn't some kind of gift, is it?
Richard: Gift?
Lorelai: Like a birthday gift. Because if it is, it's too much and I can't...
Richard: This isn't a gift. I made this investment in your name. You received a check, that's the way these things work. Legally, I'm obligated to give you that. This isn't charity or generosity, it is the law.
Lorelai: It's the law that I get to keep seventy-five thousand dollars.
Richard: Enjoy the shoes.
