Quote from Emily

Emily: They sent a lovely floral arrangement to the house. Although personally I find white roses a little uninspiring. I think my favorite arrangement is still the one that Christopher sent. It was very tasteful and appropriate and so colorful. I mean, we're not in mourning, for heaven's sake. I'm getting very tired of white flowers.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: Hey, you know that young guy who's been visiting miss Santiago in room 236? Not her son. Her boyfriend.
Rory: No!
Lorelai: Yes.
Richard: Girls, I don't think that's any of our business.
Emily: But he's at least 20 years younger than she is.
Lorelai: 32 according to the night nurse.
Rory: 32?
Emily: He's just a boy. What could they possibly have to talk about?
Lorelai: I don't think they're doing a lot of talking, if you know what I mean.
Emily: I most certainly do not know what you mean.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: Hey, don't worry about it. It's between me and your dad. We're gonna work it out, okay?
Rory: Okay.
Lorelai: "Okay" like you're gonna go back to school like our original deal?
Rory: I will go back to school. However, for future reference, the next time we have a conversation where I say, "Maybe Friday," that does not mean that we have struck a deal.
Lorelai: See, I remember you saying "absolutely, definitely, positively Friday."
Rory: Oh, so it's your word against mine?
Lorelai: It's a classic case of she said, she said.

Quote from Lorelai

Sookie: So?
Lorelai: Well, he made his nurse go get him a Wall Street Journal this morning.
Sookie: That's good. That's a good sign.

Quote from Sookie

Lorelai: And thanks for the cookies. They were a big hit.
Sookie: Oh, good. With these cravings, all I feel like cooking is chili with cayenne pepper and extra onions, but I didn't think chili with cayenne pepper and extra onions cookies would go over well with your parents.
Lorelai: Tell them it's exotic and expensive, and they'll love it. The little one has a spicy palate, huh?
Sookie: Yeah, except for the cauliflower thing. He or she has got a huge cauliflower thing.
Lorelai: Also not a good cookie.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: Any objections to holding a chow funeral, speak now, although it's already too late.
Sookie: Oh, it's a nice idea, though. He was so upset.
Lorelai: Yeah.
Sookie: I could have sworn the sandwich dog was Chin Chin.
Lorelai: It was hard to tell the difference between them. They were both so...
Sookie: Aloof.
Lorelai: I was gonna say obnoxious.
Sookie: That too.
Lorelai: I think Chin Chin was the one who was aloof, obnoxious, and a biter.

Quote from Paris

Paris: I went to the Sigma Chi party without you. I was going to wait, but I didn't know when you'd be back, so I decided to just go ahead and do it.
Rory: Well, that's fine, Paris.
Paris: I know it's fine. It was on the schedule. What was I supposed to do, stop my life because you were gone?
Rory: Uh, no, but I'm glad that you went. That's great. How was it?
Paris: Asinine. You didn't miss anything. Here, I wrote a summary.

Quote from Lorelai

Michel: Why don't you just talk me through the particulars of the event?
Lorelai: Right. Okay. Well, we, uh, thought we would have it here.
Michel: That sounds good.
Lorelai: Okay. During lunch.
Michel: During lunch?
Lorelai: Or before lunch. Or after lunch. Either way. Before or after lunch. Doesn't matter.
Michel: Why must it relate to lunch at all?
Lorelai: It doesn't have to. We were just using lunch as a measure of time.
Sookie: A way to, you know, break up the day.
Lorelai: Yes, totally arbitrary.

Quote from Lorelai

Michel: I was thinking twilight might be nice.
Lorelai: Great. Well, then 5:00 it is. That's a wonderful idea. Sookie, what else was on our list? Do you have yours with you?
Sookie: I don't. Sorry. I left mine with yours, so...
Michel: The flowers.
Lorelai: Oh, that was the first thing on our list. There will definitely be flowers.
Michel: I was thinking Gerber daisies would be nice, maybe in red, yellows, oranges to complement his fur.
Lorelai: Done and done.
Michel: Can I trust you to liaise with the florist?
Lorelai: I'll liaise with the florist.

Quote from Michel

Michel: The funeral is tonight.
Lorelai: I'm well aware of that.
Michel: Then why has nothing been done?
Lorelai: Plenty has been done.
Michel: No! Nothing has been done. You are putting no effort into-
Lorelai: Michel, back off. I happen to have a few other things on my mind right now, so forgive me if I haven't put all of my energy into focusing on your dog funeral.
Michel: I apologize that my loss has come at an inopportune time for you. I will try to schedule the next death when it is more convenient for you.
