Emily: I'm skipping my nap today.
Rory: Oh, really?
Emily: Absolutely. I'm not the least bit tired.
Rory: Oh, good.
Emily: Couldn't hide it any better than that, huh?
Rory: Hide what?
Emily: I don't take my nap, you don't get to go out on your own.
Rory: Oh, Grandma, I wasn't thinking that.
Emily: Well, I was kidding. I'm exhausted. I'm not sure I'll even make it to the bedroom. I may just drop down here on the carpet.
Rory: Thank you, Grandma. It's all cultural stuff, I promise. Just kind of faster and funkier.
Emily: Well, go enjoy your funk.
Rory: Thank you.

Lorelai: [on the phone] So, Rome?
Emily: Our last stop, and a good thing, too, because I don't know how long I can keep these randy European men off me.
Lorelai: Excuse me?
Emily: They're terrible flirts here. Gorgeous, but so forward.

Lorelai: [on the phone] So, Rome?
Rory: Yep.
Lorelai: Weather good?
Rory: Hot in the day, cooler at night.
Lorelai: Uh-huh, that's kind of what we're having here.
Rory: Huh. Coinky-dink.
Lorelai: Yeah. So...
Rory: So...
Lorelai: Um, I guess I'll be seeing you in a couple of days.
Rory: Yep.
Lorelai: Great, then. Be safe, and watch out for those Italian men, especially the ones named Randy.
Rory: I will. Bye.

Emily: I think the pink purse with the gold clasp is my favorite.
Rory: We probably could have gotten all this stuff at home, Grandma. Now we have to pay duty on them.
Emily: But if you buy them back in the States, then you can't say, "I picked this up in Rome."

Sookie: You've gone nutty!
Lorelai: What?!
Sookie: Now you're mad. I hate making you mad. I have the worst people skills.
Lorelai: I'm not mad or nutty.
Sookie: But you are, and you have been for weeks. I mean, the nutty don't usually know that they're nutty, thus the nutty.

Rory: [on the phone] Mom?
Lorelai: Yeah?
Rory: I'm sorry.
Lorelai: [sighs] It's okay.
Rory: I screwed up. I screwed up so bad. I handled everything wrong.
Lorelai: Oh, honey.
Rory: I keep reliving everything over and over. It's such a mess. I just want to fix it. I have to fix it.
Lorelai: You will.

Rory: [on the phone] I wrote a letter to Dean. Could you get it to him?
Lorelai: Oh.
Rory: I don't know how else to do it. I can't just mail it to his apartment. It's a big favor.
Lorelai: Honey, I don't know.
Rory: It's a lot to ask, but I think that this will make everything better. Please. I can't wait until I get home. I have to do something now.
Lorelai: A letter, huh? Well, get it to me, and I will get it to him.
Rory: Thank you. Thank you.
Lorelai: Have some espresso and limburger for me.
Rory: I will. I love you, mom.
Lorelai: I love you, too. Bye.
Rory: Bye.

Lorelai: It's a letter for you from Rory.
Dean: What happened? Where is she?
Lorelai: Just take the letter.
Dean: She went to Europe, right? Miss Patty said she went to Europe. What happened? What's she doing there? Who is she with?
Lorelai: Dean.
Dean: When's she getting back?
Lorelai: Soon. Just take it.
Dean: Where is she?
Lorelai: Europe.
Dean: With who?
Lorelai: Her grandmother. Look, take it.
Dean: No. Why did she go? I mean, whose idea was it?
Lorelai: That doesn't matter.
Dean: It does.
Lorelai: Dean, please. I'm a messenger, nothing more. Just take it.

Lorelai: Okay, I have got to know what was in that letter.
Rory: Um... I... I told him that that night was special and that I wasn't sorry that it happened. But he's married, and he has to figure out his life. So I was going to make it easier for him and take myself out of the mix.
Lorelai: Well, that was a very good letter.
Rory: I can't believe she found it.
Lorelai: We can't keep standing here.
Rory: I know.
Lorelai: These streets are dangerous right now.
Rory: Very.
Lorelai: Come on.

Lorelai: Anything you want is on me. Pie, cake, pancakes, pan pie, cake pan, panacockin. Say the word or make one up. It's yours.
