Season 3, Episode 3 - Aired October 8, 2002
Rory starts to freak out about her application to Harvard, and for once Lorelai is panicking too.
Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: Did they just leave to take a shower together?
Rory: Oh, gross!
Lorelai: What? They bounced in together, they bounced out together.
Rory: New topic.
Lorelai: Can't take gritty reality?
Rory: Or slanderous postulating.
Lorelai: And how is it they just came off the tennis court and they're not even sweating?
Rory: I don't know. Maybe when you're that white, you don't sweat.
Quote from Lorelai
Rory: Hey, do you think I'm making a good impression?
Lorelai: Great impression. He loves you, especially when he found out you share his love of various aspects of certain sporting endeavors.
Rory: Hey, you started it. We could have just told the truth and said we weren't into sports.
Lorelai: I was trying to humanize us.
Quote from Lorelai
Darren: So, Lorelai, what's your alma matter?
Lorelai: Well, I was too preoccupied to go to college, what with weighing a couple hundred pounds and having feet twice my normal size and all.
Quote from Lorelai
Darren: Do you know which French city famous for its water was the capital of collaborationist France?
Lorelai: Oh, me? Evian, Perrier... Le Crystal Geyser?
Darren: Jennifer, you wanna help Lorelai out?
Jennifer: Vichy.
Darren: That's correct.
Lorelai: Oh, that's right. Vichy water, I knew that.
Darren: What about the year of Germany's victory in the Franco-Prussian War?
Lorelai: Huh, me again?
Darren: If you wish.
Lorelai: I don't know that one. I do know Istanbul is Constantinople, so if you've got a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul.
Darren: That's true.
Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: Oh, Rory, quick, uh, what are the three major Hindu deities, because I've missed four questions in a row and if I miss another one, I don't think I get dessert.
Rory: Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu.
Lorelai: Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu.
Rory: Hi other daughter.
Carol: Hi.
Lorelai: And I probably shouldn't do a gesundheit joke when I say Vishnu?
Rory: Good thinking.
Quote from Lorelai
Rory: What did he say?
Lorelai: That you're Godlike.
Rory: Is that all?
Lorelai: Oh, and that his brother Bruce Springsteen would be happy to come and play at our next party or event.
Rory: That would be swell of Bruce.
Lorelai: I figured your graduation party.
Rory: I'll be very popular.
Quote from Kirk
Taylor Doose: Kirk, I told you to get something decorative to cover it.
Kirk: Well, my mom wouldn't let me use one of her nice tablecloths so I just grabbed a sheet from my hamper.
Taylor Doose: Take it off.
Quote from Luke
Babette: The horse is taller than the front door.
Lorelai: Way taller.
Luke: What are you up to, Taylor? Are you breeding giant horses?
Taylor Doose: It's slightly out of proportion.
Babette: Slightly? That little guy there could walk right under the horse without even ducking.
Quote from Lane
Lane: So, what's your band like?
Dave: We do a lot of cool covers... the Clash, the Kinks, et cetera. Statistically, it's like thirty-eight of the forty-three bands you listed.
Lane: Nice percentage.
Dave: I can play you a song we demo'd a couple weeks ago using a drum machine.
Lane: Great. What's all this?
Dave: Well, this is a headphone amp and it just boosts the volume and makes the clarity off the hook, and then these are Grado 125s, which is just really, killer, killer portable sound. I'm sort of an audio geek, sorry.
Lane: No, don't apologize, I love you... for that, for being that way. I love it.
Dave: Um, I'm like that too. You wanna go over to the bench maybe and have a listen?
Lane: Yeah.
Quote from Lorelai
Rory: I think a love song's in their future.
Lorelai: With lots of lyrics about [British accent] "snogging".
Rory: About what?
Dean: Hey.
Rory: Hey. You missed everything. [they kiss]
Lorelai: That's snogging.
Rory: Got it.
