Babette: Oh, Patty, did I tell you about Tilly's new face-lift? Scotch tape.

Babette: What are we looking at?
Lorelai: Oh, I-
Miss Patty: Oh, I know what we're looking at. We're looking at Luke and his daughter.
Lorelai: How did you know that?
Babette: Oh, please, that was page-one news around here for a week.

Miss Patty: She looks like a reader. Is she a reader?
Babette: Can you imagine Luke with a reader?
Miss Patty: Oh, I can't imagine Luke with a daughter.
Babette: Can you imagine Luke with a kid?
Miss Patty: Oh, my god, I can't believe that. Luke has a kid. Can you believe Luke has a kid?
Lorelai: He's not a 100-year-old eunuch or anything.

Logan: I know this crap backwards and forwards. I can't believe you didn't even think to call me.
Rory: Well, I'm sorry. I just didn't think you were interested.
Logan: I guess you don't know everything, now, do you? So come on, what have you got here?
Rory: Well, this is an article on Greenspan. He gave an interview with all this technical economic jargon.
Logan: I know the jargon. I'll take this. Are these proofed?
Rory: Yeah, but they're not typed in yet.
Logan: I'll do that. I'll be fast. I type 90 words a minute.
Rory: You do?
Logan: You really did only like me for my looks, huh?

Logan: I got a couple stories banked that I didn't give Paris. They are in pretty decent shape. Maybe take a look at them.
Rory: Okay.
Logan: And just remember, if you still need material, just cannibalize everything you have ready for Friday's issue and use it for tonight.
Rory: Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Logan: Peter's asking for it.

Luke: I mean, can you believe she reads? I have a kid who reads. Crazy! She sat there for hours doing her homework. Geometry. That's some crazy stuff. I actually bought a book, Geometry for Dummies. I stash it in the kitchen and run back there every time she asks me a question, thinking I can keep up with her, but I can't figure out what the hell it says. I mean, it's just this mess of weird symbols and shapes and... I wonder if there's another book I could get.
Lorelai: Um, 'Geometry for Dummies' for Dummies?
Luke: Yes, exactly.

Rory: Why are you smiling?
Logan: I'm thinking about the hundreds of different ways you owe me for this.
Rory: I owe you nothing. You did this for the greater good. For the glory of the paper.
Logan: For a foot massage.

Rory: So, I'm just saying that when that giant asteroid heads toward earth, I want you in that fighter jet.
Logan: Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Emily: Well, enjoy your drinks. They're doing a showing for my art class at the DAR, and I'm doing a moonscape. I'm just finishing it up out on the patio.
Lorelai: You're painting?
Emily: I am.
Lorelai: Right now?
Emily: Well, you never know when inspiration's going to hit. You know, I'm actually getting pretty good. I think I have a shot at a medal. Excuse me.

Richard: So, what's new?
Lorelai: Oh, um, well, not too much. Um, things at the inn are going well. Business, you know. We're booked up through-
Richard: My martini's not cold enough. How's yours?
Lorelai: Mine's fine.
Richard: I'm gonna get new ice. I'll make another batch. [exits]
