Quote from Lane

Lane: They said that they rolled her body into a lamp? [Rory nods] Did you laugh? [Rory shakes her head] Did you want to? [Rory nods]
Rory: But it's sad.

Quote from Sookie

Lorelai: Okay, how should we do this?
Sookie: Well, we got to create a flow through the room to avoid bottlenecks. People coming in the front door will want a beverage. Put them on the first table, then the hors d'oeuvres next to that leaving one hand free to greet the people. Then, back there, set up plates and cutlery. First the salads, then the meat, then the desserts on the bench. How's that sound?
Luke: Dig in!

Quote from Rory

Dean: Oh, hi. Wow. I wasn't expecting you.
Rory: Or me you. I mean, you me. I mean, come on in, you.
Lorelai: Do you know him?
Rory: No.
Lorelai: No?
Rory: Well, he goes to my old school, so I see him there sometimes but I go to Chilton now.
Lorelai: Thanks for the update.
Rory: You're welcome.

Quote from Rory

Dean: Hey, do you have a second?
Rory: No, I have gum.
Dean: No, thanks. Look-
Rory: I have to get back.
Dean: Okay, sure. I'll see you later.

Quote from Sookie

Sookie: Is that meatloaf?
Luke: Yeah.
Sookie: You use ketchup?
Luke: You gonna make fun of my mother, too?
Sookie: Sorry. You know, my Roquefort puffs would complement that dish quite well.
Luke: It's fine on its own. Thank you.
Sookie: Right.
Luke: Okay, toss some on the plate.
Sookie: Okay. Can I make a pretty design? Maybe make some layers?
Luke: Sookie.
Sookie: Right. Tossing them on. Got it.

Quote from Babette

Babette: You know, I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself now. You live to take care of your kids.
Lorelai: I know, sweetie, but you gave her everything you had.
Babette: Yeah. She was so tiny when I got her, she could sleep in my shoe.
Lorelai: The other day, I came across a hat that I made for Rory. It was like a doll hat.
Babette: Oh, they grow up so fast.
Lorelai: And then they take your clothes.
Babette: I guess, eventually, you have to move on. Figure out what your life is gonna be when you're not busy taking care of somebody else. Jeez, look at this place. Not a clean glass in sight.
Lorelai: Let me help you with that.
Babette: Here, sugar, use this. Morey sits on it when he helps me.
Lorelai: How does Morey get around in here?
Babette: Oh, just fine. He had a couple of concussions his first year here. But he never complains. He's just the best thing. Don't know what I'd do without him.
Lorelai: Oh, Babette. What do you mean without him?
Babette: I saw on Oprah a few weeks ago she had on couples who lost a child. Most of the marriages went belly up for the pain of it all. Even though they loved each other.

Quote from Babette

Lorelai: Babette, that is not gonna happen to you.
Babette: I never thought a man would ever even want me.
Lorelai: I know the feeling.
Babette: Oh, please, with that ass? Give me a break.
Lorelai: I mean, want me for more than my ass. Me for me. The whole package. Annoying neuroses and all.
Babette: You'll find him. It might even be that stud that drove out of here in that Mustang.
Lorelai: Did you see him?
Babette: Yes. What a jaw.
Lorelai: Right. He's got a great jaw.
Babette: How is he in the sack?
Lorelai: I haven't gone out with him yet.
Babette: Will you tell me how he is when you do?
Lorelai: I'll call you during the cigarette.

Quote from Babette

Babette: It's getting late.
Morey: Let's stay outside awhile, baby. Look for the Big Dipper.
Babette: Okay, I'd like that.
