1.1.9 Gilmore Girls

 

"Dear Ms. Gilmore, We are happy to inform you that we have a vacancy at Chilton Preparatory starting immediately. "due to your daughter's excellent credentials and your enthusiastic pursuit of her enrollment. I offered to do the principal.

"We'll be happy to accept her, once the first semester's tuition has been received. This is very exciting. 
-Is something burning?  -My bangs, earlier. -Go on, go on, go on. -This is it.
She can go to Harvard and get the education I couldn't. Do things that I couldn't. Then I can resent her for it. and we can finally have a normal mother-daughter relationship. Oh, good.
'Mom?' -Oh. -You're happy. Yeah. -Did you do something slutty? I'm not that happy. 
-Here. -What's going on? Open it.
