Rory: Grandma's outside painting moonscapes.
Lorelai: Well, she thinks she can get a medal.
Rory: I thought you said she wanted me to come.
Lorelai: She did.
Rory: Mom, she is sitting outside in the 40-degree weather painting moonscapes so she doesn't have to be inside with me.
Lorelai: That is not the reason.
Rory: Did she or did she not say she wanted us to come over for dinner?
Lorelai: She did not say it, but I know deep down she does.
Rory: But you lied to me.

Richard: New ice. I can reshake yours if you like.
Lorelai: Hey, Dad, is something wrong?
Richard: Wrong?
Lorelai: Yeah. You're suddenly very picky about your ice, and Mom's outside painting.
Richard: There's nothing wrong, Lorelai.
Lorelai: Is Mom still mad?
Richard: Mad at whom?
Rory: Mad at me?
Richard: Anger is a useless emotion, Rory. It's a waste of time. Your mother has a shot at a medal. That's all that's going on around here.

Lorelai: Mom, could you come in here just for a sec? I'd like to ask you something.
Emily: Well, all right.
Lorelai: Can you sit down for a minute?
Emily: Let me go change first.
Lorelai: Sit down first.
Emily: I can't sit down in my painting clothes.
Lorelai: Why? Are they painted on?
Emily: I'll go upstairs and shower and change and then I'll be back.
Lorelai: Mom!
Richard: This ice has a funny taste to it. I'm gonna get some more.
Lorelai: Now, come on, you two.

Rory: He came to me, Grandma, and he asked if he could do anything-
Richard: This really isn't necessary.
Rory: I let him pay for Yale. He's my father. [Emily laughs]
Lorelai: You know something I don't, Mom?
Richard: How convenient that he's her father now. Perhaps your father can reimburse me for the five cases of scotch I had to send the men in the bursar's office.
Rory: I'm sure he'd be happy to.

Lorelai: Cut her some slack, Mom. Rory was going through something terrible.
Emily: Life is full of terrible things, Lorelai.
Lorelai: She was emotional. When you're emotional, you don't think clearly. I remember a woman who tried to buy a plane when her granddaughter moved out.
Emily: I tried to time-share a plane. It is in no way even close to the same thing.
Lorelai: I've never been so happy to see a salad in my entire life. Ugh, I can't believe what I'm hearing!

Emily: If we'd known the extent of the issue, we might not have taken Rory in.
Lorelai: I tried to tell you.
Emily: You did not.
Lorelai: I came here and I told you exactly what happened with Mitchum, and you didn't want to hear it.
Richard: I don't remember that!
Emily: I don't either!
Lorelai: "The Huntzbergers told her she wasn't good enough, and Mitchum told her she didn't have it." "He what?!" "Yes, and now she's dropped out of Yale, but between the three of us, we can knock some sense into her." "Of course we'll help you. This is not happening." "I'll call Charlie Davenport tomorrow." "Thank you, guys, so much. Just thank you." And scene!

Lorelai: This is really good sorbet.
Emily: I know. Isn't it? Theresa made it herself.
Rory: Mango?
Emily: Passion fruit.
Lorelai: Delicious.
Richard: It certainly is.

Richard: [o.s.] What are you thinking, buying an airplane?!
Emily: [o.s.] I didn't buy it. I looked at it!
Richard: Well, what were you doing looking at a plane?!
Emily: I can look at a plane if I want to look at a plane!

Rory: I don't want to quit the DAR.
Emily: Well, too late.
Rory: I was accepted and certified, Grandma. You can't just kick me out.
Emily: I can, too.
Rory: I know the rules backwards and forward, and I have done nothing to lose my status except argue with you, plus I'm in contact with more members than you are.
Emily: That is not true.
Rory: And I like more of the members than you do.
Emily: That is not true.
Rory: I talk to Tweenie Halpern all the time.
Emily: What are you doing talking to Tweenie Halpern?
Rory: I'm friend with Tweenie Halpern. I'm helping her daughter look at colleges. I'm gonna give her a tour of Yale.
Emily: You have no right to talk to Tweenie Halpern or anyone else in the DAR. That is my organization.
Rory: I'm not quitting!
Emily: Oh, yes, you are!

Richard: So, how's Luke?
Lorelai: He has a kid.
