Season 1, Episode 8 -  Aired December 14, 2000

Lorelai is giddy about the recent snowfall, even more so when it strands Max Medina in Stars Hollow. Meanwhile, Rory is stuck up at her grandparents' house when Lane does something embarrassing at school.

Quote from Lane

Lorelai: Hey, do you want to talk? I'm not Rory, but we do use the same blow dryer.
Lane: I did something really stupid today.
Lorelai: Okay, what did you pierce?
Lane: Nothing. I touched a boy's hair.
Lorelai: Okay.
Lane: A boy I really like.
Lorelai: So far I'm missing the stupid part.
Lane: I kind of did it without his permission.
Lorelai: Now we're getting somewhere.
Lane: I don't know what happened. I mean, I was just standing there. And then he bends over, and his hair falls forward and suddenly it's like my hand has a life of its own.
Lorelai: Sounds like your hand had help from your hormones.

Quote from Rory

Lorelai: Honey, I promised myself a long time ago that I was gonna keep all this stuff separate from you. And I want you to know that, that still stands, okay? This was a one-time thing. I'm not gonna start just bringing guys home. This is not a trend.
Rory: You can, you know.
Lorelai: What?
Rory: Bring guys home. If you like someone, you should feel comfortable doing that.
Lorelai: I appreciate that.
Rory: I want you to be happy.
Lorelai: And I love you for that.
Rory: Plus, I know you're not a cat person so you will be alone if you don't find someone.

Quote from Luke

Mayor Porter: I would like to now move on to something of even greater importance. As you all know, this coming Friday is the anniversary of the legendary Battle of Stars Hollow.
Lorelai: Where's Luke?
Rory: There.
Mayor Porter: Patty will be circulating a sign-up sheet for those of you who would like to participate in the reenactment of the aforesaid battle.
Rory: He's turning red.
Mayor Porter: All right. "It was a frigid November night some 224 years ago"
Lorelai: He's shifting in his seat.
Mayor Porter: "Hollow Militia stood in wait for the redcoats."
Rory: He's adjusting the cap.
Mayor Porter: "Tired and hungry, 12 proud men took their positions in the town square."
Lorelai: He's fighting the urge. He's fighting the urge.
Mayor Porter: "and imminent death in their valiant efforts"
Luke: [stands up] For God's sake, do we have to go through this every damn year?
Rory: Yes! And the urge wins by a long shot.

Quote from Rory

Rory: So how soon is it supposed to hit?
Lorelai: Mmm. Tomorrow. Definitely tomorrow.
Rory: Okay, then tomorrow it is.
Lorelai: What?
Rory: You, me, doughnuts, coffee, standing out in a snowstorm.
Lorelai: At midnight?
Rory: At midnight.
Lorelai: [gasps] You are my favorite daughter.

Quote from Lorelai

Rory: How many times are you gonna listen to that?
Lorelai: Till it stops being sexy.
Rory: Stop. That's my teacher you're talking about. I have to respect him.
Lorelai: Okay, if it makes you feel any better while he's being sexy, he's also being grammatically correct.
Rory: Better. Thank you.

Quote from Sookie

Sookie: Okay, how does this sound? Maple-sugar snowflakes on all the pillows?
Lorelai: Oh, that sounds wonderful!
Michel: Make them in the shape of a buttock to get people used to them.
Sookie: Okay, is that a real suggestion?
Lorelai: Sookie, please, who is speaking?
Sookie: Michel, right, okay. Snowflakes it is.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: Ladies and gentlemen, we have flakes. Flakes have been sighted. Flakeage, if you will, has begun. Michel, it's the first snowfall of the season. It's very lucky. Make a wish.
Michel: Get away from me.
Lorelai: Oh, you're not supposed to say it out loud.
Michel: [answers phone] Independence Inn.
Lorelai: The world changes when it snows. It gets quiet. Everything softens.
Michel: [hands Lorelai the phone] It's your mother.
Lorelai: And then the rain comes. Hi, Mom.

Quote from Luke

Luke: My father used to be one of those guys.
Lorelai: Yeah?
Luke: Yeah, he even had his own musket.
Lorelai: Really?
Luke: Never had to rent it.
Lorelai: Where's the musket now?
Luke: He was buried with it. Yeah, he loved that musket.
Lorelai: That's nice, in a disturbing sort of way.

Quote from Richard

Emily: Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do now.
Richard: What's the problem, Emily?
Emily: The problem is that apparently Florence cannot get here because of the storm.
Richard: Florence?
Emily: Our cook.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: So, tell me something about yourself.
Max Medina: Like what?
Lorelai: Have you ever been married?
Max Medina: Nope.
Lorelai: Ever been close?
Max Medina: Once.
Lorelai: And?
Max Medina: She's in Thailand.
Lorelai: Sex trade?
Max Medina: Bank of America.
Lorelai: Well, it's usually one or the other.
