Rory: I found that if I focus too much on one subject, I start to get a little punchy. This way, when I hit Bolshevik Revolution overload, I just shift over here and, oh, hello, Anne Boleyn is going down, and then when that gets too depressing, it's right over to calculus.
Lorelai: Saving the party subject for last?
Rory: This shifting back and forth seems to produce better results.
