Lorelai: Hey, how important do you think it is to be able to say, "Help, I'm bleeding from the head"?
Rory: Just bring the phrase books.
Lorelai: No. If we learn all the phrases we need, then the phrase books are one less thing we have to lug around.
Rory: We will never be able to learn all the phrases in every language that we're going to need. Bring the books.
Lorelai: We can learn enough. Plus, doesn't everybody speak English over there anyway?
Rory: Ugly American, party of one.
Lorelai: Fine, we'll bring the books.
