Rory: No.
Lorelai: Of course you do. He was really skinny.
Rory: Peter Stringbean?

Rory: I don't know.
Lorelai: Yes, you do. Come on. It's gonna bug me all day. He was short and fat and his name was....
Rory: Johnny McShort-and-Fat?

Taylor Doose: Rory?
Rory: Taylor, you scared me.
Taylor Doose: What are you doing? You're walking around like-
Rory: Like what?
Taylor Doose: Dare I say, like a shoplifter.
Rory: I'm not here to shoplift.
Taylor Doose: Well, you fit four of the eight characteristics.
Rory: I do?
Taylor Doose: You're alone. You look nervous. You're meandering in an aimless fashion. And you're wearing a baggy coat.
Rory: I tend to run cold.

Quote from Rory

Mikey: Yeah?
Rory: I was just wondering, do you like working here? What? I mean, do you enjoy the whole box-boy trade as a profession?
Mikey: No.
Rory: Okay, good. So, I'm just gonna cross that off my list. Thank you for your time.

Madeline: Judy Garland is trendy?
Louise: Completely. She's neo-addict retro chic.
Madeline: No one tells me these things.

Quote from Miss Patty

Miss Patty: Flutter. Flutter. Quick. Quick. Flutter. Flutter. Quick. Quick. And your hearts are broken. Your prince has betrayed you. You've been shot with an arrow and now, you're dead.

Quote from Lorelai

Luke: So you're saying that life is just settling for whatever comes along?
Lorelai: Wow. You think having Rachel is settling?
Luke: No, I didn't mean that. Rachel's great.
Lorelai: And she's crazy about you. And if her worst trait is she's a milk whore, you have it pretty good.
Luke: Yeah.
Lorelai: And you just need to give this situation a fair chance.
Luke: I know.
Lorelai: And that starts with ceasing work on the Winchester Mystery House here.

Lorelai: They're never dull.
Rory: And if you're lucky, you'll see a crazy lady throwing French fries at those she disagrees with. Like last time.
Max Medina: So, were they cold?
Lorelai: No, I was just full.
