Richard: I'm going to be going back there next week. There's going to be a little reunion of the Whiffenpoofs.
Rory: I'm sorry, the what?
Richard: It's an a cappella singing group I belonged to at Yale.
Rory: A singing group?
Richard: A very famous singing group, actually. Like the Beatles, but with better table manners.
Rory: I've never heard you sing.
Richard: Well, I'm no Perry Como, but my shower hasn't kicked me out yet. Anyway, a group of us are going to get together at the old alma mater and have a little dinner, swap some war stories.
Rory: Sounds fun.

Lorelai: Okay, I officially vote that we send my mother an anonymous note requesting that she never make us the sand dabs again.
Rory: I'm not sure how anonymous it would be considering she said we were the first people she ever made them for.

Kirk: My trophy's gone.
Luke: What?
Kirk: Someone took her.
Luke: Kirk.
Kirk: The last time I remember seeing her, she was next to me at the movies.
Luke: Stop calling it she.
Kirk: I retraced my steps all day and nothing. I suspect foul play.
Luke: Foul play?
Kirk: Kidnapping, possibly.
Luke: Then, I think you should go to the police, and if they mention something about staying somewhere for observation, it's just routine.

Jess: What do you think is gonna happen?
Luke: You know what I think is gonna happen.
Jess: No, I don't. Tell me. Tell me what I'm gonna do to her.
Luke: You're not gonna do anything to her because when you're at her place, there's Lorelai, and when you're here, there's me, and when you're out there, there's Taylor.
Jess: Romeo and Juliet had warring families and they still managed to do a little damage, you know?
Luke: Well, as soon as I catch you in a pair of tights, I'll get worried. Until then, do your homework.

Lorelai: Rory, let's move! They'll be here any minute.
Rory: I'll be right there.
Lorelai: And make sure to bring an extra coat.
Rory: Why?
Lorelai: Do not ask why. It's Gilmore road rules, trust me.
Rory: But that doesn't make any sense. We're only gonna be gone for one day.
Lorelai: Yeah, do me a favor, say those exact words to my mother when she shows up.
Rory: Taking the coat.

Lorelai: Anyhow, I looked through it and it just so happens that one of the best taco places on the East Coast is ten minutes from campus.
Rory: We like tacos.
Lorelai: Yes, we do. "You haven't had a taco until you've spent some time at Hector's, crisp and meaty – "
Rory: Dirty.
Lorelai: Thank you. "Not greasy. With homemade tortillas, it elevates this fast finger food to the level of haute cuisine."
Rory: Sounds good.
Lorelai: Yeah, so I thought maybe when Dad was busy poofing it up, we could go say hello to Hector.
Rory: I like your thinking.

Rory: Grandpa, that art gallery was amazing. Thank you.
Richard: Yale has one of the finest collections of British art in the world.
Lorelai: Louvre, schmouvre.
Richard: Oh, I spent a lot of time in that gallery as a young man.
Emily: I'll say you did.
Lorelai: What was that "I'll say you did"?
Emily: I just remember that that gallery was one of your father's favorite places to bring the ladies.
Lorelai: What?
Richard: Emily.
Emily: It's where you took me on our first date.
Lorelai: So, Dad liked to impress 'em with the paintings.

Richard: Why did you bring this up?
Emily: He was a master of the frown, step back, wrinkle and sigh.
Lorelai: The what?
Emily: Frown. Step back. Wrinkle. And sigh.
Richard: I did no such thing.
Emily: And then he'd talk about the paintings he had seen in Paris and the colors of Titian, and by the end of the date, you thought he was the most brilliant man in the entire world.
Lorelai: Using Titian to score. Even Titian didn't do that.
Richard: You shouldn't tell them this. They'll think I was some kind of lothario.
Emily: Well, you were.
Richard: I was- [stammers] I was just a young single man who wanted to experience life.
Lorelai: Don't ever fall for that line.
Rory: I promise.

Richard: You know, Emily, you weren't such an innocent little doe lost in the woods yourself.
Emily: I beg your pardon?
Lorelai: They're turning on each other, I love it.
Richard: I'll have you know, I was happily involved in a very serious relationship when your mother decided she simply had to have me.
Emily: Oh, the size of your ego, I swear.
Richard: Linny Lott.
Emily: That mouse?
Richard: Oh, that mouse and I were engaged.
Emily: Oh, you were not.
Richard: I'd given her my pin, I'd introduced her to my parents.
Emily: So?
Richard: The date was set, invitations mailed out.
Lorelai: Mom.
Emily: Well, you couldn't marry Linny Lott. That woman needed directions to get to a point. [Lorelai imitates a cat screeching]

Emily: Richard Gilmore, you are going to give these girls the wrong impression.
Rory: What impression is that, Grandma?
Lorelai: That you were the Helena Bonham Carter of the society set?
Emily: I did not steal your grandfather, I simply gave him a choice.
Richard: When you showed up at my fraternity party in that blue dress, I had no choice.
Lorelai: You stole my father with fashion.
Emily: I can't believe you remember the dress.
Lorelai: I can't believe you were the other woman.
Emily: Oh, this is ridiculous.
Lorelai: Another woman should be saying this is ridiculous.
Emily: Will you stop?
