Transcript:

 Hi, how are you doing? I think I'm gonna go talk --. - No, I'll go. You stay and keep your grandfather company. Lorelai, come back to the table. Is this what it's gonna be like every Friday night? I come over and let you attack me? You're being very dramatic. Dramatic? Were you at that table just now? Yes, I was, and you took what your father said the wrong way. The wrong way? How could I've? What was open to interpretation? - 'Keep your voice down.' -'No, I can't take it anymore'' (Lorelai) 'Tonight just seems like a nightmare.' (Emily) 'You're dripping all over the floor.'  Why do you pounce on every single thing I say? That's absurd. You barely uttered a word all night. 'That's not true.' - You said pie. Oh, come on. - You did. All you said was pie. Why would he bring him up? Was that really necessary? He likes Christopher. Isn't that interesting? Because, as I remember, when Christopher got me pregnant, Dad didn't like him so much. Oh, well, please, you were sixteen. What were we supposed to do? Throw you a party? We were disappointed. The two of you had such bright futures. Yes, and by not getting married we got to keep those bright futures. When you get pregnant, you get married. A child needs a mother and a father. Come on.
