“The world doesn’t always revolve around you”

LORELAI: Well Mom, there’s been a lot going on around here lately, your Christmas shindig’s not exactly high on my list of things to obsess about.
EMILY: Well I’m sorry if the timing is bad Lorelai, but the world doesn’t always revolve around you.

A lesson that Lorelai could never learn – probably because Emily’s example taught her the opposite so well.
