Lorelai: Somewhere in this hospital are my mother and my father. I know I don't get along with them but there has to be some sort of intuition, some blood bond that will somehow lead me to them.
Luke: That's crazy.
Emily: [o.s.] My great-uncle founded this hospital-
Lorelai: And that's Emily.
Emily: [o.s.] you insensitive paper peddler! His portrait is hanging in the lobby. Go look! It's right above the sign that says "Founder"!

Lorelai: What's going on? How is he?
Emily: Lorelai, you came.
Lorelai: Of course I came. How's Dad?
Emily: That's what I'm trying to find out. But this woman keeps pestering me with idiotic questions like what's the number of my insurance policy.
Nurse: I need to get this information.
Emily: You need to get sensitivity training.
Lorelai: Well, what if I fill out this information and you can go find someone who can tell us how my dad is?
Nurse: I'm not-
Lorelai: Or I can go and you can stay here and continue to discuss this with my mother.
Nurse: I'll go.
Lorelai: Thank you. [the nurse walks off]
Emily: You got rid of her.
Lorelai: Yes. Tell me what happened.
Emily: That was amazing.

Emily: Were you on a date?
Lorelai: What?
Emily: You have an escort.
Lorelai: No, it's Luke.
Luke: Which is her way of saying we weren't on a date.
Lorelai: I didn't mean it like that.
Emily: How am I supposed to know? It's Friday night. You're here with a man.
Lorelai: With Luke.
Emily: It's not insane to assume a date was involved.
Lorelai: You're right, it's entirely possible that I was out on a date.
Luke: Just not with me.
Lorelai: I was eating at Luke's, I got the message. He gave me a ride. End of story.

Lorelai: Is Dr. Reynolds here?
Emily: Yes, Joshua got here a while ago. He was supposed to be back the minute he knew something.
Lorelai: Let's go find him.
Emily: You can't find him. You can't find anyone. Everyone keeps disappearing behind those doors.
Lorelai: Come on, let's go. [walks through the "No Admittance" doors]
Emily: I didn't know you could do that.

Luke: I gave your mom a ride. We weren't on a date.
Rory: Oh, okay.
Luke: She and your grandmother went back to find a doctor.
Rory: Did they find out anything else about Grandpa?
Luke: I don't think so, but give your mom a couple of minutes back there, I bet she finds something.
Rory: Well, thanks for bringing her.
Luke: You're welcome. You okay?
Rory: I don't want him to die.
Luke: Well, you tell him that when you see him. People like to hear that.

Lorelai: Hey, he's gonna be fine.
Rory: I was just getting to know him.
Lorelai: I know.
Rory: I don't want him to-
Lorelai: He's not. Go get your coffee.

Emily: Okay, we've secured him the room but the pillows are completely unacceptable. I'm gonna see if I can find some down ones and some slippers. I'll be right back.
Luke: We'll be here.

Lorelai: Are you okay?
Luke: Yeah, I'm just not real big on hospitals. You know, the smell, people being wheeled by with tubes sticking out of them. You know, drainage fluids, gaping holes.
Lorelai: Listen, why don't you go home?
Luke: You want me to go?
Lorelai: You don't look so good.
Luke: Thanks.
Lorelai: That's not what I meant. You always look good.
Lorelai: Yeah?
Luke: I meant you always look healthy.
Lorelai: Okay. But you don't look so healthy now. You look-
Luke: Unhealthy.
Lorelai: Yes. Okay. What? So I said you look good. We're not in fifth grade. "You look good." Big deal. Stop staring at me.
Luke: [sees a patient] Oh, geez.
Lorelai: See? That's what you get for being cocky.

Rory: The coffee machine was jammed, so I got chicken soup and PEZ.

Luke: So who are you gonna go find now?
Lorelai: Stop.
Luke: How about Jimmy Hoffa? That'll keep you busy.
Lorelai: I said stop.
Luke: You know, you can't avoid going in there forever.
Lorelai: I'm not avoiding anything. I'm gonna find coffee.
Luke: The machine is jammed.
Lorelai: Well, there are other machines.
Luke: Admit you're afraid.
Lorelai: You've no idea what you're talking about.
Luke: The truth hurts.
Lorelai: No, you know what hurts? Having a screwdriver jammed in the side of your head.
Luke: What? [turns around] Oh, my God!
