Lorelai: A proposal has to be something more than the desperate desire to end a bickering match.
Max Medina: It was more than that.
Lorelai: It has to be planned. It should be magical. There should be music playing, and romantic lighting and a subtle buildup to the popping of the big question. There should be a thousand yellow daisies and candles and a horse. And I don't know what a horse is doing there unless you're riding it, which is a little over the top. But I... It should be more than this.

Rory: Never. I am never going anywhere with you, ever.
Tristin: These tickets cost me a fortune.
Rory: They cost your daddy a fortune.
Tristin: I don't even know anyone else who's into this stupid guy.
Rory: P.J. Harvey's a woman.

Dean: I thought you were trying to talk to me.
Rory: Oh.
Dean: When you came to my house.
Rory: That wasn't me.
Dean: It was you.
Rory: It must've been someone that looked like me.
Dean: My sister recognized you from the pictures in my box.
Rory: In what box?
Dean: The box of stuff I have of us, pictures, and letters, and everything from you.
Rory: You have a Rory box?
Dean: And what was going on at the town meeting? All that stuff about writing a song?
Rory: I don't know what I was saying.
Dean: That had nothing to do with me? [Rory is silent] Well, I must have imagined it all then. Your boyfriend's waiting.
Rory: He's not my boyfriend. I hate him.
Dean: Whatever.

Michel: Daisies, no less. As if I would order these pitiful little things. Foul things, these daisies. Just a notch up from weeds. And look how many. There must be at least...
Lorelai: A thousand of them. A thousand yellow daisies.
Kirk: That's right, there's exactly a thousand of them. Order states that there's to be exactly a thousand. Not 1,001, not 999, but 1,000. You ask for 1,000, I bring 1,000. I don't question the orders. I merely fill them.
Michel: A job well done, Mr. Adolph Eichmann.

Max Medina: [on the phone] You were right last night. I shouldn't have proposed to you like that. It was stupid. It was the wrong place and the wrong time. I kicked myself the entire night for doing it. But you were wrong about something, too. I didn't propose to you because we were fighting. I proposed because I love you. We're in a bad pattern, Lorelai, and we have to break it. And other than that murder-suicide thing, which would be illegal and messy I can only think to be impetuous. No, listen. I woke up this morning and I realized that I have studied and taught the great literature all my life. And those stories are replete with characters that let opportunities slip by. But what I teach is more than just literature. It's lessons in life.
If I don't follow those tenets I'm not the man I thought I was, the man I want to be.
Lorelai: God, you talk so good.
Max Medina: I don't want an answer now. I've thought about this. I want you to do the same. I love you, Lorelai Gilmore. And I know this to be true. I'll talk to you later.
