Quote from Lorelai
Babette: Lorelai, sugar! You're waking up the entire neighborhood. Please!
Lorelai: Excuse me!
Rory: I am officially annoyed.
Lorelai: Well, don't blame me. Blame - He was right here.
Rory: Yeah, I know.
Babette: Get her back to bed, doll.
Lorelai: He was banging on the-
Rory: I know.
Lorelai: It was something on the porch. It was broken.
Rory: I know.

Rory: I know.
Quote from Lorelai
Rory: I'm sorry. The oil-vat guy was mean.
Lorelai: Yes, and we knew him. He used to live in town. That guy who used to run the auto body shop before Maybin Hewes bought it. Remember him?
Rory: No.
Lorelai: Of course you do. He was really skinny.
Rory: Peter Stringbean?
Lorelai: No. That was the tall circus-freaky guy who worked for him. This was the owner. What was his name?
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?
Lorelai: Oh, now, don't mock.
Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: Hey, who was the guy who used to run the auto body shop?
Luke: That Stretch Cunningham guy?
Lorelai: No, the Dick Tracy guy.
Luke: Big, always had a half-smoked cigar in his mouth?
Lorelai: Yes, him. What was his name?
Lorelai: It was Jim something-or-other.
Luke: Had an 'ing' at the end.
Lorelai: Yes, Banning.
Luke: Lanning.
Lorelai: Dunning.
Luke: That's it.
Lorelai: Hey, Jim Dunning was the Dick Tracy guy.
Quote from Rory
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.
Quote from Paris
Madeline: So, I've decided I'm now completely into Judy Garland. Did you see the TV movie? Pretty intense.
Louise: I think they used my mother's medicine cabinet.
Madeline: She was Courtney Love of her day.
Paris: Show me a trend, I'll show you Madeline.
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
Lorelai: Rachel, he's just fixing some things.
Rachel: I know.
Lorelai: The porch rail, a couple roof shingles, then the porch rail again after he fell off the roof onto the porch rail.
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.
Quote from Lorelai
Max Medina: You're always talking about these town meetings. I've to see one for myself.
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.
