Richard: If the Huntzbergers were so horrible to Rory, why on earth did Mitchum give her a very valuable internship?
Lorelai: He was buying her off.
Richard: So, the internship was like hush money?
Lorelai: Yes!
Richard: There's no money! It's an unpaid position!
Lorelai: It's a figure of speech.

Sookie: Remember what it was like to have money?
Lorelai: He'd be keeping us on to run it. We could consult. We could travel around the world telling other people how to run their inns.
Sookie: We could be bossy. Oh, we could travel and be bossy!
Lorelai: He mentioned the south of France. Apparently they're making a huge investment there and they have a need for people like us.
Sookie: I can picture us in the south of France. Oh, topless!
Lorelai: At work?
Sookie: No. We're on the beach.
Lorelai: Much more appropriate.
Sookie: And the casinos. Oh, and the cheese!

Lorelai: You know, my dad traveled all over the world for work, which drove my mom crazy, which was a little perk. But he would always say things like "I'll be back from Dusseldorf on Friday". And when I was a kid, I always wanted to say "I'll be back from Dusseldorf on Friday"!

Paris: [sings] I'm walking on sunshine! Whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right!
Rory: Hey.
Paris: What?
Rory: Learn a new song, or I am tying you to a chair and putting Hotel Rwanda on again.
Paris: It's love, baby. Deal.
Rory: You're not going to use that as a microphone, are you?
Paris: Oh, no, Reverend has the town band dancing and singing?

Luke: How in the hell did you do this?
Taylor Doose: I was doing a little light dusting, and was toying with the idea of repositioning the horse's hindquarters, and the whole thing came tumbling down.
Luke: You can't leave anything alone, can you?
Taylor Doose: Are you going to help me, or not? I feel like I've been lying here for days.
Luke: You have not been lying here for days. Kirk came into the diner two hours ago.
Taylor Doose: You waited two hours to come and get me?
Luke: I have a business. I can't come running every time a family of mannequins decides to attack you.

Luke: Taylor, don't you think it's time?
Taylor Doose: Time for what?
Luke: You've been trapped under the Jebediahs for two hours and no one has come in here.
Taylor Doose: What's your point, Luke?
Luke: My point is the museum's a bust.
Taylor Doose: Well, I'll admit, attendance is low.
Luke: No one is coming.
Taylor Doose: I was reading an article about the power of bus bench ads for getting the word out. Very big in the music industry. Apparently the rapper, Fitty Cent, swears by them.

Richard: She was a heck of a tennis player in her day. And very competitive.
Emily: I wasn't that competitive.
Richard: This woman was kicked off the field hockey team in Smith for elbowing Ceci Everetts in the neck.
Emily: She got in my way.
Richard: And this happened in the parking lot after the game.
Emily: Now, now.

Rory: Grandma and Grandpa invited him to dinner.
Lorelai: You're kidding.
Rory: It was actually less of an invite and more of a freak-out. They heard about the dinner I went to.
Lorelai: Heard how much?
Rory: The Reader's Digest version.
Lorelai: Got it.
Rory: Apparently they've already exceeded the polite reciprocal invite window, and if he doesn't come to dinner soon, Grandma has to give back her pearls.

Lorelai: I want to go to dinner.
Rory: [wakes up] Where's the clock?
Lorelai: I mean, you said that I could meet Logan properly, and you know how good I am when there's food involved.
Rory: Twelve thirty.
Lorelai: I mean, is there a reason I wasn't invited?
Rory: Ah. Can't we talk about this tomorrow?
Lorelai: It is tomorrow. I just don't think it's right that they get first dibs on him. I mean, I am your mom, and we are very close, in case you haven't heard, and I should get to know him first.
Rory: Grandma and Grandpa already know him.
Lorelai: Huh. Okay, so they have a head start. Fine. But I bet they won't know him, know him like I will know him if you let me go to dinner.

Lorelai: I am there to talk to Logan. To get to know him. I mean, other than the fact that he's blond, rich and straight, I'm out.
Rory: You're not going to come to dinner and ignore Grandma.
Lorelai: I will not be ignoring her. I just don't think I'll get to her.
Rory: What?
Lorelai: Well, I've heard through the grapevine that Logan is so chatty that once you get him started there's no shutting him up.
