Lorelai: God, that's nice.
Luke: Yep.
Lorelai: Hmm. The whole first date beginning of the relationship glow. Everything's new and exciting.
Luke: Every joke is hilarious.
Lorelai: Every little touch is incredible. God, that's a good feeling.
Luke: It is at that.
Lorelai: I miss that.
Luke: You'll have it again.
Lorelai: I guess.

Lorelai: They said they're going to a movie.
Mrs. Kim: With who?
Lorelai: They were gonna meet Dean.
Mrs. Kim: A boy? You let them go with a boy?
Lorelai: Mrs. Kim, Dean is Rory's boyfriend.
Mrs. Kim: Just because you let your daughter run around with boys doesn't mean I let mine.
Lorelai: I thought you knew.
Mrs. Kim: I didn't know! They could be anywhere. They could be doing anything. Smoking or drinking or buying drugs!
Lorelai: They're at the movies. There's no drugs there. They don't even have the real Red Vines.

Lorelai: I can't lie to another mother. That's breaking the code.
Rory: So what were we supposed to do tonight?
Lorelai: Look, I know Mrs. Kim and Robert Duvall in The Great Santini share a striking resemblance. But she is Lane's mom. She has the right to tell Lane she can't do something. You have to respect that and I really have to respect that.
Rory: So we were in a no-win situation tonight?
Lorelai: Yep.
Rory: Great.
Lorelai: Sorry. You know the one good thing we learned from this?
Rory: What?
Lorelai: That I'm a babe.

Rory: What's up, Rapunzel?
Lane: Don't take it the wrong way but in all my various fantasies of who may appear at this window you never actually made the list.
Rory: So how are you? I haven't heard from you in days.
Lane: I'm okay, I guess.
Rory: I was afraid to call.
Lane: I think that's best for now.
Rory: Your mom's really mad?
Lane: The words "convent" and "Siberia" were both used several times and at least once as a combo.

Lane: You arranged it because I asked, and I'm glad you did.
Rory: You are?
Lane: If you hadn't set me up with Todd, I'd still be in love with him.
Rory: Not the guy for you, huh?
Lane: Not the guy for anybody who can read, write, talk, or function on a basic human level.
Rory: I'm sorry.
Lane: I was so bored I couldn't see straight. I've been on Korean meditation weekends that have had more laughs.

Lorelai: Look, I am really sorry about what happened the other night. Rory's never lied to me like that before.
Mrs. Kim: That you know of.
Lorelai: No, I'm pretty sure that was the first time, and it definitely was the last.
Mrs. Kim: Fine.
Lorelai: So, I just didn't want you to feel like you couldn't send Lane over to our house anymore. Um... Because you can, believe me. Those girls go nowhere without me knowing about it. In fact, I was thinking of having some house arrest ankle bracelets made. You know, maybe cute ones with a leopard print or zebra stripes. Maybe a little glitter design.

Lorelai: You know, it doesn't always work to lock a kid up and throw away the key.
Mrs. Kim: I didn't throw away the key. It's in the kitchen.
Lorelai: Okay. Well, I was talking symbolically but all right, I'm with you now. [sighs] Look, when I was a teenager, my parents tried to keep me locked up. They tried to force me to become what they had in mind. And now I'm not talking exactly about Lane here, but in my case, it really didn't work.
Mrs. Kim: You blame your parents for getting pregnant?
Lorelai: No. I think if I'd had a little more space or someone to listen to me things might have turned out different. Now, I got lucky. Because having Rory... totally the best thing that could have happened. But let's be honest. I certainly don't want Rory to turn out like me.
Mrs. Kim: I don't want Lane to turn out like you either.
Lorelai: I believe that's the first thing you and I have ever agreed on.
Mrs. Kim: I just want Lane to be safe.
Lorelai: I just want Rory to be safe. I'm gonna go now. Hey, I think you are doing a great job with Lane. She's a really great kid. I just wanted to put my two cents in, because that's what I do. So... bye. [vase shatters] I know, "You break, you buy." I heard earlier. That's $35, right?

Lorelai: Did I tell you Sookie and Jackson have another date tonight?
Rory: What is that, the third one this week?
Lorelai: Yeah.
Rory: That is so great.
Lorelai: I know it is. But if she tells me the story of how Jackson cultivates mealworms to help fertilize his plants again I'm gonna Romeo and Juliet them.
Rory: It's sweet.
Lorelai: Mealworms.
Rory: Gross, but sweet.

Luke: Oh, uh, coffee?
Lorelai: Do you have to ask? You know, I had a good time the other night with the cards.
Luke: Oh, yeah. Me, too.
Lorelai: Good.
Luke: Yeah, in fact you rushed out of here before I had a chance to...
Lorelai: A chance to?
Luke: Kick your ass in poker.
Lorelai: [chuckles] You wish.
Luke: Burger?
Lorelai: Two, and fries.
Luke: Maybe we could do it again sometime.
Lorelai: Yeah, I would like that.

Lane: Okay, what about movies? You must have a favorite movie.
Todd: Yes, I do!
Lane: Great. What is it?
Todd: Beethoven.
Lane: Beethoven? The one with the dog?
Todd: There's this scene where this little dog is running around with a huge cabbage in its mouth. Oh, man, it's classic. I shot my Dr. Pepper right out of my nose! I swear.
