One of my favorites from Gilmore Girls

[Lorelai has to model in a charity event for Booster Club that her mother made her get involved in]
-
Lorelai:
Ugh, they totally just snuck that modeling thing in.
-
Rory:
Hmm, my mom's a model. Maybe you'll get to date Leonardo DiCaprio now.
-
Lorelai:
Plus, now I have to plan the whole stupid thing.
-
Rory:
Lorelai Gilmore. Nope, doesn't sound model-y enough. You need something that stands out more. How about Waffle. We could call you Waffle and say you're from Belgium.
-
Lorelai:
[dialing on her cell phone] Okay, I'm crabby, I need to do something about it.
-
[on phone]
-
Lorelai:
Hey Mom!
-
Emily:
Well, hello.
-
Lorelai:
So I went to my first Booster meeting last night, did Bitty tell you?
-
Emily:
No, she did not.
-
Lorelai:
Oh, well, maybe she's still stuck under that desk. You might want to send someone out there to look.
-
Emily:
Well, it's certainly nice to hear you finally getting involved.
-
Lorelai:
Yes, in fact we're planning a charity fashion show next weekend, and I volunteered to organize it.
-
Emily:
Well, good for you.
-
Lorelai:
Yes, and since I know how concerned you are about how Rory's perceived at Chilton, I knew you'd want to be involved somehow, so you're gonna be one of the models.
-
Emily:
Excuse me?
-
Lorelai:
Yeah, so it's next Saturday, be there at four, and we'll provide hair and makeup.
-
Emily:
Lorelai, you can't be serious.
-
Lorelai:
Oh, and we'll need your measurements also.
-
Emily:
This is ridiculous.
-
Lorelai:
Mom. You said you wanted me to be involved. Well, I'm involved, now don't you want to do your part to ensure Rory's future?
-
Emily:
All right.
-
Lorelai:
Start measuring.
-
[hangs up]
-
Rory:
You feel better now?
-
Lorelai:
Waffle's very happy.
