She asks where the "bad part" of town is, and Rory ends up gesturing vaguely to shut her up. When Paris demands an explanation, Rory settles on "people are very upset about the color of that fence." Paris later accuses Luke of running a drug den/brothel in the diner's upstairs apartment and Reverend Nichols of being a conspirator in it when Jess comes down the stairs.
