Lorelai: Where are you going?
Luke: I am going to the diner, I am going to get us some edible food and I'm gonna bring it back here for us to eat.
Lorelai: That is so not the point of today. I made this. I am insulted. I will now proceed to pout.
Luke: I'll bring back some brownies.
Lorelai: Ooh, the pouting has left the building.

Henry: [on the phone] I've been trying to call you.
Lane: I know. The pay phone is broken.
Henry: I thought the number was wrong, so I-
Lane: What? You what?
Henry: I called your house... and your mother answered.
Lane: Well, what did you say?
Henry: I asked for you, and then she asked why. I said because. She said because why? Then I got nervous and tried to sell her a subscription to The Wall Street Journal.
Lane: Oh, were you successful?

Jackson: Wow, not one thing in here that I would remotely consider eating.
Rory: Well, I didn't make it for you. I made it for Dean.
Jackson: [chuckles] And Dean would have eaten this?
Rory: Yes, he would have.
Jackson: [eats] Dean is an idiot.
Rory: Dean never would have fallen for that. [both laugh]

Rory: What?
Lorelai: What what?
Rory: You look like you have something to say.
Lorelai: I have nothing to say. I never have anything to say.
Rory: Yes, that is your reputation.

Lorelai: Rory, this is not about the rule. This is about Dean being concerned that you're hanging out with someone who could get you hurt.
Rory: How could he get me hurt?
Lorelai: In the short time he's been here, he's managed to make a lot of enemies.
Rory: I'm sorry. When did I move to Salem?

Rory: So you're saying that Jess is no good.
Lorelai: I've known guys like Jess. He seems cool because he's got a dangerous vibe and this problem with authority and he's seen a lot of Sylvester Stallone movies.
Rory: Oh, my God.
Lorelai: But guys like this get into trouble. Which, if you hang out with him, gets you into trouble. And I don't want you to get into trouble.

Rory: You know, you never liked Dean at the beginning.
Lorelai: That's because I didn't know him.
Rory: And now you don't like Jess?
Lorelai: That's because I know him.

Lorelai: I don't want to lock you up and throw away the key.
Rory: Well, good.
Lorelai: Your judgment means something, especially to me. I can't be your eyes and your ears and your brain.
Rory: I'm trying really hard to connect the dots here.
Lorelai: I got spooked. I know it violates the fabulous "cool-mom" clause we're supposed to have going. But I did, and I'm sorry.
Rory: It's okay.
Lorelai: Now, I am concerned about Jess.
Rory: Well, you shouldn't be.
Lorelai: But I am. However, you are a smart girl. You're a good judge of character and the fact that he seems to like you gives him a couple of brownie points. You're not a little kid. I don't actually think you ever were a little kid.
Rory: I was, for about a month.
Lorelai: If you think he's a decent guy, I have to respect your judgment.
Rory: Thank you.

Rory: Is our fight over?
Lorelai: Fight over.
Rory: Good. You still don't look okay.
Lorelai: Oh, well, my mother agreed with me tonight.
Rory: I'm so sorry.
Lorelai: Thank you. I appreciate that.
