Jackson: Yeah, I mean, living together, big deal, right?
Sookie: Oh, right. Big deal. Who cares? Not me. No sirree Bob. So, I'm sorry, you don't think we should live together anymore?
Jackson: Nope.
Sookie: Okay.
Jackson: I think we should get married.
Sookie: What?
Jackson: I think we should get married.
Sookie: But-
Jackson: Soon.
Sookie: Are you pregnant?
Jackson: What do you say? Sookie?
Sookie: Yes! I say yes! Oh, my God, we're getting married! You do know that this means we'll have to live together?
Jackson: Yes, I do.
Sookie: Okay, good.

Rory: Ten.
Jess: Ten?
Rory: Yeah, but I didn't understand a word of it. So I had to reread it when I was 15.
Jess: I've yet to make it through it.
Rory: Really? Try it. The Fountainhead is classic.
Jess: But Ayn Rand is a political nut.
Rory: Yeah, but nobody could write a 40-page monologue the way she could.
Jess: Okay, tomorrow I will try again, and you will...
Rory: Give the painful Ernest Hemingway another chance. Yes, I promise.
Jess: You know, Ernest only has lovely things to say about you.

Lorelai: What's this?
Rory: You said you wanted to read The Children's Hour.
Lorelai: I did? When?
Rory: The over night when we were watching Julia, and Jane Fonda was playing Lillian Hellman.
Lorelai: Oh, yeah, and I made the Hellmann's mayonnaise joke.
Rory: Which no one ever needs to hear again.

Emily: A cigar club? Can you imagine a more disgusting organization to join? Your grandfather now pays money to sit in an enclosed room with a bunch of men and blow smoke in each other's faces. Twice a week he comes home smelling like a flophouse. [Lorelai and Rory are silent] So I finally just confronted him. I said, "Richard, I know you're going through a transitional period here and I encourage your trying out new things, but this seems completely out of character for you." I'm sorry, am I boring you?
Lorelai: No, you're not.
Rory: Sorry, Grandma.

Emily: Lorelei, listen to me. Now, I don't say this to you very often but on this matter, I happen to agree with you 100%.
Lorelai: Gee. Thanks, Mom.
Emily: I know Rory's a good girl but good girls can go bad with the wrong influences. We all know that.
Lorelai: No, no, no. I don't think Rory's actually gonna go bad.
Emily: Don't back down, Lorelai. You took a stand, and you are completely in the right here. You absolutely must keep her from that boy. If you need to change her curfew, lock her up, throw away the key... whatever it takes to ensure she doesn't go astray, you do it. Her judgment cannot be trusted here. She's a young girl and knows nothing. You are her eyes and her ears and her brain, for as long as it takes to make sure she doesn't make ridiculous choices in her life.
Lorelai: Yeah.

Jess: [on the phone] I'm glad you called.
Rory: Yeah?
Jess: Yeah.
Rory: Why?
Jess: 'Cause maybe you could explain what this crazy woman is talking about.
Rory: Ah, The Fountainhead.
Jess: Yes. Your fault. And you will pay.
Rory: I promise, commit to it one more time and if it still is awful for you, I will make it up to you.
Jess: Oh, yeah?
Rory: Yeah.
Jess: Okay. I'm gonna hold you to that.

Dean: Jess.
Jess: Sorry to intrude.
Dean: Well, why did you?
Jess: Well, you're having a vertical From Here To Eternity moment right in front of the super glue.
Rory: Oh.
Jess: Not that that's not an appropriate place, but-
Dean: Here's your glue.
Jess: Thanks. As you were.

Lorelai: It's quaint, isn't it? The women make a nice lunch basket, the men bid on it and the world rotates backwards on its axis.

Lorelai: Why do you have a picture of me in your wallet.
Miss Patty: Well, it's a very nice picture.
Lorelai: Thank you. But why do you have a very nice picture of me?
Miss Patty: I'm a stalker?
Lorelai: Or?
Miss Patty: Or when, in my daily travels I run across a nice, single guy...
Lorelai: Oh, God!
Miss Patty: I like to have a visual aid to help me with the wonderful buildup I give you.

Rory: I wish you two could start over.
Dean: Why?
Rory: He lives here. We run into him. He goes to your school. I just think it would be easier.
Dean: You know, I'm fine with the whole hating him thing.
Rory: I think it's a waste of energy.
Dean: I'll have a PowerBar.
