RORY: No, it's not. Jeez, lighten up.
LORELAI: It's my favorite sweater too.
RORY: Since when?
LORELAI: Since always.
RORY: This is not your favorite sweater.
LORELAI: Yes it is and now it's going to be all stretched out just like everything else you borrow.
RORY: What are you talking about?
LORELAI: I'm talking about that you take my sweaters and you wear them and you stretch them out.
RORY: I couldn't possibly stretch them out! Your boobs are way bigger than mine.
LORELAI: That is not true.
RORY: Yes it is.
LORELAI: Your boobs are totally bigger than mine!
RORY: You're crazy!
LORELAI: Do you want to measure?
RORY: What?
LORELAI: I'm serious. Why don't you get the measuring tape right now?
RORY: I am not going to measure my boobs.
LORELAI: Because you know that you are totally bigger.
RORY: I'm going inside.
LORELAI: Fine, don't measure. We'll just compare bras.
RORY:Stop it!
LORELAI: I'll stop when you quit stealing my stuff.
RORY: You're cracked!
LORELAI: You're...bigger.
(Rory takes her books and slams the door as she goes inside.)
(Cut to Lorelai and Sookie walking down the street.)
LORELAI: "Your boobs are bigger than mine"? I'm a mental case.
SOOKIE: So apologize.
LORELAI: I was too mad and stupid to apologize last night and she was gone before I got up this morning. What is wrong with me?
SOOKIE: You're very possessive of your sweaters.
LORELAI: Sookie.
SOOKIE: No, I understand. I'm the same way. If somebody breathes too hard on my paring knife I'm like a crazy spider monkey.
LORELAI: It's not about the sweater. It's about the golfing thing and the liking it thing. She had fun, Sookie. Just like my mother said she would.
SOOKIE: Yeah, that's got to hurt.
LORELAI: She should have fun. I mean, I want her to have a good relationship with her grandparents. Just because I don't doesn't mean she shouldn't, right?
SOOKIE: Right.
LORELAI: Right. So then why was I trying to get her out of Friday night dinner? I mean, what am I trying to do -- undermine their relationship?
SOOKIE: No you weren't.
LORELAI: Yes I was.
SOOKIE: Yes you were.
LORELAI: Yes! I'm four years old!
SOOKIE: You're jealous.
LORELAI: Oh I'm not jealous.
SOOKIE: Yeah, you are. You're jealous 'cause they like Rory better than you.
LORELAI: Oh thank you for the hug.
SOOKIE: See, I'm bad at advice talks. Could we talk about soup? 'Cause I'm good with soup.
LORELAI: Oh I'm sorry. You're fine. I'm all mixed up. I left that life, you know...
