Lorelai: Now it's too quiet.
Rory: I'll turn it up.
Lorelai: Thank you.
Lane: [to Rory] So, what do you think?
Lorelai: Who the hell is that anyway?
Rory: Claudine Longet.
Lorelai: [gasps] The chick who shot the skier?
Rory: Sure, why not?
Lorelai: Huh. Renaissance woman.

Rory: How do you know he's right for you?
Lane: I know. I'm telling you, we're talking soul mate here.
Rory: The last time you met your soul mate you ran your fingers through his hair and ended up hiding at my house.
Lane: Well, I still have my key.
Rory: Lane.
Lane: Look, I made a mistake with Rich Bloomenfeld. Everyone's allowed one mistake. But Todd is different.
Rory: He is?
Lane: First, his name is Todd. Different name, different guy.

Sookie: Lorelai, please? I'll be your best friend.
Lorelai: You are my best friend.
Sookie: And you're mine.
Lorelai: I know I am.
Sookie: So what are best friends for?
Lorelai: Okay.
Sookie: Yes?
Lorelai: Yes, I'll go.
Sookie: [squeals] Thank you. You will not regret this.
Lorelai: Pick another phrase.
Sookie: You will not have to pay.
Lorelai: Much better.

Lorelai: The waiter, thank the Lord.
Waiter: What can I get you?
Sookie: I'd like to ask about the mussels. Are they fresh?
Waiter: Yes, they are.
Jackson: And where exactly are your carrots from?
Waiter: Well...
Rune: Is there anything on this menu that isn't French?
Lorelai: I'll just have a martini, and keep them coming.

Dean: What are you doing?
Rory: Nothing.
Dean: They're fine.
Rory: I am not looking at them. I'm looking at the world around me.
Dean: The world is fine, too.
Rory: I wanna make sure they're having fun.
Dean: They are.
Rory: How do you know?
Dean: They aren't in prison or some sort of medieval torture chamber.
Rory: Well, when you measure it that way...

Lane: The amazing thing is all these girls are screaming and none of them are getting the joke. He's playing the character of a rock star. Beck is a genius and these stupid girls are screaming at him just because they're buying into the rock star image. I love Beck. I understand Beck. And the Foo Fighters. Gods. Have you heard the acoustic version of Everlong? I can't even talk about it, you know. Hey, you know who I've really gotten into lately? The Velvet Underground. And Nico. She is amazing. Depressing, German, scary chick. I have the CD if you wanna borrow it sometime. What kind of music do you like?
Todd: I don't know. Whatever.
Lane: Fugazi?
Todd: What?
Lane: The band on your shirt.
Todd: Oh. Huh. Cool picture.
Lane: You don't know what's on your shirt?
Todd: It's my sister's.
Lane: Oh.

Lane: What about books? Do you like books?
Todd: Mmm.
Lane: Magazines? What about school? What are you majoring in?
Todd: I was thinking about gym. If I major in gym, I only have to take four classes my senior year.
Lane: Oh, cool.
Rory: [to Dean] Gym?
Dean: We work on our bikes together. He's got the good tools.

Lorelai: Hey. Four menus, one coffee, and an anvil, please.
Luke: What's the anvil for?
Lorelai: For Rune.
Luke: What's a rune?
Lorelai: Please, not that question again.

Lorelai: He is, believe it or not, even less thrilled with the matchup than I am.
Luke: You're kidding. Why?
Lorelai: I'm too tall.
Luke: Get out.
Lorelai: I'm serious.
Luke: Doesn't he understand how great that is? You can get all the stuff from the top shelf.
Lorelai: Exactly. That is exactly what I bring to a relationship. Explain that to him, will you?

Lorelai: Luke, that is an exceptionally good batch of coffee.
Luke: Yeah?
Lorelai: Hello!
Luke: I added a little nutmeg.
Lorelai: Really?
Luke: Yes.
Lorelai: That's very Richard Simmons of you.
Luke: Well, what can I say? Chicks dig a man with a feminine side.
