RORY: I know.
LANE: I have to have it.
RORY: Okay, well -.
LANE: No, I mean I have to have it.
RORY: I don’t know if I have time to pick it up.
LANE: What? Rory, do you wanna hear how I used up my five minutes of phone time today? Talking to Amazon.com trying to get them to overnight it to me in a plain package with a return address referencing something Korean and religious.

LANE: I think they notified the government.

RORY: When are you going to let your parents know that you listen to the evil rock music? You’re an American teenager, for God’s sake.
