‘Kiss and Tell’
Season 1, Episode 7 - Aired November 16, 2000
When Rory gets her first kiss from Dean in the grocery store, it's the talk of the town... except Rory hasn't told Lorelai yet.
Quote from Rory
Rory: There he is.
Lorelai: Boy, he's tall. That must have been some back-bender, that kiss.
Rory: Mom.
Lorelai: Make sure you warm up next time.
Rory: Okay, we are leaving now.
Lorelai: Sorry. Done now. He's got great eyes.
Rory: You got to love a guy with great eyes.
Lorelai: Yeah. And a nice smile.
Rory: Very nice.
Lorelai: Think we can get him to turn around?
Rory: It's nice, too.
Lorelai: Really?
Rory: Trust me.
Quote from Dean
Cashier: You girls having another movie night?
Lorelai: Yeah, it's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
Cashier: Ooh, that's nice. Isn't that the one with Gene Hackman?
Dean: Uh, Gene Wilder.
Lorelai: You're a Wonka fan?
Dean: Yeah.
Quote from Rory
Rory: Because we haven't even been out on a date by ourselves yet. My first date with Dean is gonna be with my mother? Are- What is wrong with you?
Lorelai: I'm sorry. I thought you would be happy about this.
Rory: In what universe would I be happy? This isn't Amish country. Girls and boys usually date alone.
Lorelai: I don't think of it as a date. I thought of it more as a hanging out kind of session.
Rory: Well, I don't want our first hanging out session to be with my mother either.
Lorelai: Stop saying mother like that.
Rory: Like what?
Lorelai: Like there's supposed to be another word after it.
Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: Well, I just invited a friend of yours to hang out. What's the big deal? I mean, what if Lane had done it?
Rory: You're not Lane. You're my mother. You inviting him over is like Grandma inviting a guy you liked over.
Lorelai: You're comparing me to my mother?
Rory: No. I just-
Lorelai: I'm Emily Gilmore now? My, how the mighty have fallen.
Rory: I didn't mean that.
Lorelai: I wasn't trying to humiliate you.
Rory: I know.
Lorelai: If I was Emily Gilmore, I'd be trying to humiliate you.
Rory: I just-
Lorelai: Look, I'm sorry, okay? I screwed up. I was trying to Look, I'll go. I'll uninvite him. I'll tell him it's canceled because I just found out that I'm my mother. And I have to go into intensive therapy.
Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: This is good. Add some cold cream, and some curlers and let him know what he'll be coming home to every night.
Rory: This was supposed to be a simple night. [Lorelai sighs] Watch movie, eat junk, go to bed feeling sick. End of story. Now I'm supposed to look pretty and girly, which is completely impossible because I'm gross, and I have nothing to wear.
Lorelai: Do you want some help?
Rory: No. Yes.
Lorelai: Okay. Let's see. This and... All right, well... This says, "Hello, I'm hip and cute, but also relaxed. Since this is something I just threw on, even though it looks fantastic on me."
Rory: How did you do that?
Lorelai: What?
Rory: I've been staring at that top for 20 minutes. It was just a top. You walk in, and in three seconds it's an outfit.
Lorelai: It comes from years of experiencing fashion brain freeze just like the one you had.
Quote from Lorelai
Rory: This whole guy thing? I mean, I've watched you when you talk to a man. You have a comeback for everything. You make him laugh. You smile right.
Lorelai: I smile right?
Rory: And then you do the hair flip.
Lorelai: Oh, twirl. It's a hair twirl.
Rory: Then you walk away. And he just stands there, amazed like he can't believe what happened.
Lorelai: That's because I just stole his wallet.
Rory: I'll never be able to do that. Trig, I can do. But boys and dating, forget it. I'm a total spaz.
Lorelai: Listen. The talking part, you just get used to. The hair twirl, I can teach you. And the leaving-him-amazed part with your brain and killer blue eyes, I'm not worried. You'll do fine. Just give yourself a little time to get there.
Rory: Is half an hour enough?
Lorelai: Plenty. Come on. Dab on some lip gloss, clear but fruity. Maybe a little mascara. Wear your hair down, and your attitude high.
Rory: You're like a crazy Elsa Klensch.
Quote from Babette
Babette: Hey, sugar. We were just getting to know your young man here.
Lorelai: Yeah, I see that. Dean, would you mind going inside and helping Rory out? There's a struggle with a jar lid that I think she's about to lose.
Dean: Sure, yeah.
Babette: It was nice talking to you, Dean.
Dean: Yeah, you, too.
Morey: Stay cool, kid.
Dean: Uh... I will.
Babette: [to Lorelai] Oh, is he cute!
Lorelai: Yeah.
Babette: And that Chuck Heston chin of his! Is he Rory's boyfriend?
Lorelai: No, they're just friends.
Babette: Well, that's not what I heard. Kissing at the market gives a whole new meaning to Tasting Day.
Lorelai: Okay. I got to get back inside and shower, so I'll talk to you guys later.
Babette: Have a good evening. And don't forget to invite us to the wedding. Oh, won't their kids be gorgeous!
Quote from Rory
Dean: So, what's in there?
Rory: That's my room.
Dean: Really? Can I see it? [enters] Wow! Very clean. How much does it suck that they use Pink Moon in a Volkswagen commercial.
Rory: Oh, I know.
Dean: So, are you gonna come in?
Rory: Oh, no, I've seen it.
Dean: I mean, you look like you're glued to the door there.
Rory: No, I'm just observing my room from a new perspective. You know, I hardly ever stand here. It's really making me re-think my throw pillows.
Dean: Would you like me to get out of here?
Rory: No, I'm fine with you looking around.
Dean: [picks up a plush toy] Nice chicken.
Rory: Or, you know, at least I was.
Quote from Rory
Lorelai: I did not invite her.
Rory: Why don't you set up a camera and broadcast it over the Internet?
Lorelai: Because I don't think that big.
Quote from Dean
Lorelai: Ooh, ooh. Oompa Loompas!
Rory: My mom has a thing for the Oompa Loompas.
Lorelai: I don't think finding them amusing constitutes a thing.
Rory: No, but having a recurring dream about marrying one does.
Lorelai: Don't get me started on your Prince Charming crush, okay? At least my obsessions are live. You have a thing for a cartoon.
Dean: Ooh. Prince Charming, huh?
Rory: It was a long time ago. And not the Cinderella one, the Sleeping Beauty one.
Dean: 'Cause he could dance.
Rory: Yeah.
Dean: I've got sisters.
