Quote from Lorelai in The Reigning Lorelai
Lorelai: So, apparently, I am now the reigning Lorelai. Rory: Huh. I guess you are. Lorelai: It's a lot of responsibility. Rory: Well, sure. Lorelai: I mean, it's mostly ceremonial stuff nowadays - declaring knighthoods, opening supermarkets - but now and then, you get to banish someone or pose for a stamp. Rory: Neat. And coins. Lorelai: Yeah and coins. You know, someday you'll be the reigning Lorelai. Rory: I don't like that idea. Lorelai: Why not? You get a cape. Rory: Because if I'm the reigning Lorelai, that means you'll be gone. Lorelai: Gone? No, not me. I'll step down way before that. I'm not gonna pull a Queen Elizabeth on you, make you wait around forever, force you to develop interests in polo and architecture. Rory: I am scared of horses. Lorelai: I know that. Rory: So, there's a cape, huh?
