Rory: A big, furry, purple thing that could either be a hat a toilet paper cover, or some kind of dirty hand puppet.
Lane: Mystery box on the left.

Madeline: My brother has the measles.
Louise: My mom's having an affair.
Rory: Well, I guess we could go to my house. I mean, we're having a town rummage sale, so it's kind of a mess but it's there.
Louise: Isn't your house kind of far?
Rory: It's 30 minutes away by bus.
Madeline: Bus?
Louise: I don't do bus.
Rory: If you have a better suggestion...
Paris: I'll drive.

Man: Are you sure it's an original Queen Anne?
Mrs. Kim: Yes, original.
Man: The joints look wrong.
Mrs. Kim: Joints are fine.
Man: They look new.
Mrs. Kim: Nothing's new. Whole store is old.
Man: Do you have a certificate or a letter saying that it's old?
Mrs. Kim: Yes, I'll write a letter.
Man: Okay. I guess if it's really old, I'll take it.
Mrs. Kim: We appreciate your business.
Lane: [to Rory] She just made a sale. Now's a good time.

Lane: Could I could go somewhere tomorrow with Rory and her mom?
Mrs. Kim: Tomorrow's church.
Lane: This would be after church.
Mrs. Kim: After church we think about what we heard in church.
Lane: Well, I thought I could think about what I heard in church on the way to the show.
Mrs. Kim: Show?
Rory: Play.
Lane: Not show, play. It's a play, Mama.
Mrs. Kim: Tell me about this play. What's it about?
Lane: Okay, well, it's about a group of people who own instruments and stand in front of other people, holding them.
Mrs. Kim: What?
Lane: I'm not sure what it's about.
Rory: We could find out.
Mrs. Kim: You find out, then we talk.

Luke: If you want coffee, you'll have to wait.
Rory: Hey, Luke, someone put a sign for the rummage sale on your window.
Luke: You can have decaf now if you're in a hurry.
Rory: You should call the cops about this. I mean, we know how you feel about public displays of town affection.
Luke: Your mom asked me to put it there, okay?
Rory: And you said yes?
Luke: She's not real good with no.
Rory: No, she's not.
Luke: Every second you laugh at me is one second longer you wait for coffee.
Rory: Sorry. No laughing.

Rory: What are you wearing?
Lorelai: We've already argued about the sweatshirt.
Rory: Yes, but we have not argued about the hat.
Lorelai: What hat?
Rory: The one on your head, Annie Oakley.

Lorelai: Wow! These are great. They'll really come in handy when we finally organize that giant marching band we've been talking about.
Miss Patty: I danced on these drums at the Copacabana in 1969.
Lorelai: Wow.
Miss Patty: Yeah, it was a great act. I wore bananas.
Lorelai: Oh, please tell me you have a picture of that.
Miss Patty: A lot of memories happened on these drums. But I guess it's time to move on.
Lorelai: Yeah, sure. Now you'll finally have room for that enormous tuba you've had your eyes on. [chuckles] Leave- Leave these here.

Lorelai: When did Luke have a girlfriend?
Miss Patty: Oh, this must have been, what, five, six years ago? Did she break that man's heart. It was terrible.
Lorelai: How did I not know about this?
Sookie: Honey, you had an 11-year-old kid, and you were just moving into this house. Plus Rachel traveled a lot. She was a photographer.
Miss Patty: Archaeologist.
Sookie: Really?
Miss Patty: Or flight attendant.
Lorelai: I can't believe I never even heard about it.
Miss Patty: At least, I think so.
Sookie: Well, Luke never talks about it. No one else likes to talk about it 'cause he could kill you with that coffeepot if he wanted to.

Lorelai: Rory, I think your friends are here. She must be one great baby-sitter, to earn enough money for that car.
Rory: Let's just get this over with.
Lorelai: Take heart, my dear. Suffer today, party tonight.

Rory: So did you guys find it okay?
Paris: There's no sign on this street.
Rory: I know. That's why I told you to turn right at the big rooster statue.
Paris: I thought you were kidding.
Lorelai: Oh, no, we never kid about Monty.
Louise: Monty?
Lorelai: Monty, the rooster.
Louise: Monty?
Lorelai: Monty the Magnificent, actually.
