Rory: What is this place?
Richard: This is the main administration building. Professors' offices, the dean's office. Some of the best scotch in the country can be found behind those doors.
Lorelai: Not sure how to take that, Dad.
Richard: Come on. Ah, follow me, please.
Lorelai: What's he so excited about?
Emily: Oh, who knows? Dickens must have dropped a pencil here at some point.

Harris Fellows: It was a pleasure to meet you. I'll read that book you recommended.
Rory: And don't be fooled by the Oprah seal on the cover, it's actually very good.

Rory: Can we not say the word college for at least forty-eight hours?
Lorelai: Fine.
Rory: Thank you.
Lorelai: How 'bout collage, can we say collage? 'Cause it sounds the same but it's actually very different.
Rory: Collage is fine.
Lorelai: Okay, good, 'cause I don't even know how to get through a conversation without the word collage.

Luke: What are you doing?
Lorelai: We're coming from a day with my parents. Want a taco?
Luke: No thanks. See, I already have food here. We sell it to the other customers who don't come quite as prepared as the two of you.
Lorelai: Hmm. Be nice and get us some salsa.
Luke: At least order a cup of coffee.
Rory: Coffee and tacos?
Lorelai: Sounds just gross enough to work.

Jess: Hi.
Rory: Hi.
Luke: Please, I'll finish it – hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.

Luke: Listen, I just want you to know that I had a little talk with Jess earlier.
Lorelai: You did?
Luke: Yes, I did, and I really laid down the rules concerning him and Rory. Trust me, he now knows that I am going to be watching them every second they are together.
Lorelai: Oh, good.
Luke: Yep.
Lorelai: You know, they're together now.
Luke: What?
Lorelai: Oh, yeah. "I have to get a part for my car", "I'm going to go study" – that's kid code for "Meet me at the previously agreed upon location far away from my clueless uncle."
Luke: You're kidding me, right? You don't really think that... Damn, they are! They're together. They used the kid code and now they're together!

Lorelai: It's getting late, you almost done?
Rory: Almost.
Lorelai: Don't study so much that you get brilliant, go mad, grow a big bald egghead and try to take over the world, okay, 'cause I wanna go shoe shopping this weekend.
Rory: Promise, I will not go mad until we get you some boots.

Rory: Details tomorrow.
Lorelai: Ah, thank God. 'Cause you know what not knowing these things does to me.
Rory: I know.
Lorelai: I can't sleep. I wonder what I did wrong. Should I not have left you that first day in kindergarten when you begged me not to? Are you holding it against me?
Rory: I was fine staying at kindergarten. You were the one that had trouble leaving.
Lorelai: See, see how irrational I get when you hold out on me? I invent crazy reasons why you hold out on me.
Rory: Night Mom.
Lorelai: Night babe.
