Quote from Lorelai in Ballrooms and Biscotti
Rory: Mom, I made a deal. This is why I get to go to Yale. I can't back out. It's our last night. I have to go. You don't have to, but I do. Lorelai: What do you mean I don't have to go? Rory: I was very clear when I made this deal that it was only for me. Lorelai: You're right, I don't have to go. Boy, that's an oddly liberating feeling. I don't have to go. I don't have to go. I do not have to go to dinner. Rory: Mom. Lorelai: Hang on, I'm not done. I do not have to go ever if I'm not in the mood. Rory: Mom. Lorelai: I'm not going.
