Quote from Lorelai in Keg! Max!
Lorelai: Okay, we're old and pathetic. How did it come to this? Rory: Well, it's our first Friday night that we haven't had to go to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner. Lorelai: I cannot for the life of me remember what we did before we started doing those. Rory: It feels like a million years ago. Lorelai: Ooh, who are you calling? Rory: It just feels weird for me not even to say hello to them on a Friday night. Lorelai: No, don't call them. Rory: Hey, this rift is between you and them. I'm still on friendly terms. Lorelai: I know, it's just that they're probably sitting there eating alone, shivering in an unheated room, the only illumination a single light bulb just so they can make us feel spectacularly guilty at the thought.
