Michel: I don't understand why you get to bring Rory, and I don't get to bring my Chows.
Lorelai: Because I'm mad with power.
Michel: They are cleaner than she is. They are quieter than she is.

Lorelai: I gave birth to her! I carried her inside me, and nine months and twenty-six hours later, she came out!
Michel: If I could have given birth to them myself, I would have. But I didn't have that choice!
