Richard: When you were born, I decided to celebrate, so as soon as your mother went to sleep, I left the hospital, I called my business manager and I made a real estate investment.
Lorelai: You do know how to party, don't you?
Richard: I made this investment in your name.
Lorelai: Wow, most people just buy a stuffed bear. This is better.
Richard: I thought so. Anyhow, a little while ago, I got a letter from a lawyer who is representing the investment group informing me that the government is building a road right through the middle of your investment.
Lorelai: Sad.
Richard: Which means that the complex has been sold and all the investors will be receiving a check.
Lorelai: Happy.
