Lorelai: Rory dropped out of Yale.
Luke: What?
Lorelai: She dropped out of Yale and she moved in with my parents, who I went to for help, and they stabbed me in the back. Everything we worked for. All these years. Her whole future. She was supposed to have more than me. She was supposed to have everything. That was the plan. We had a plan.
Luke: Okay, I'm sorry. I have to jump in here. Uh, I know you think you have this thing handled, but I can help. [sighs] First off, we call Yale and we tell them something like, uh, Rory had a chemical imbalance and she was mentally out of her mind when she told them she was dropping out. And then we get her out of your parents house, whatever way we can. We lock her up in her room with you because you can talk her into this. You can talk anybody into anything. And if worse comes to worst, we will drive her to school every day and we will follow her to class and camp out there to make sure she goes. I'll take morning classes, you take afternoon classes, or the other way around, if it works out better for your schedule. And I know there's a few kinks to work out, and the kidnapping thing might be a little problematic but either way, she is not quitting school. This was her dream. I am not going to let this happen. [off Lorelai's look] What?
Lorelai: Luke, will you marry me?
Luke: What?
