Rory and Lorelai in “Partings”

Rory

You're grounded!

Lorelai

Sorry, Mom! Kimmy saw this guy at the mall, who was a total Chachi and he bought us a Slurpee and we totally lost track of time.

Rory

I called you twice! I left messages. I called the national guard, who didn't answer because they're all in Baghdad.

Lorelai

Well, I just checked my messages.

Rory

I won't be ignored, Dan!
