Lorelai: [wakes up] [dials phone] Michel, curtains. Tom, banister and mud-sink valve. [lies down] [dials phone] Um, Sylvie, horse feed. Jackson, garden stone. Sookie, too much salt in gazpacho. [lies down] [sighs] Oh, boy.

Luke: What are you doing?
Lorelai: I need coffee.
Luke: It's 5:00 in the morning. Make coffee at your own house.
Lorelai: I did. I drank it all.
Luke: You drank all the coffee in your house before five in the morning?
Lorelai: Big gulps, lots of sugar.
Luke: Alright, get up.
Lorelai: And just a little bit of cream 'cause it makes it cold.

Lorelai: I can't sleep. I can't turn my mind off. It keeps running and thinking and making lists.
Luke: Yeah, maybe if you drank a little less coffee, you'd make a little less lists.
Lorelai: Oh, I can't stop drinking the coffee. I stop drinking coffee, I stop doing the standing and walking and the words putting-into-sentence doing.
Luke: I'll make you some coffee.
Lorelai: [sighs] If I could move, I would hug you. In fact, in my mind, I am hugging you, and also, I'm telling the plumbers that there's no water pressure in rooms 10, 12, and 15.

Lorelai: Oh, man, I'm so completely stressed. I can't remember what I'm doing from one moment to the next. It's never gonna get done.
Luke: It will get done.
Lorelai: No, it won't get done, and the inn won't open, and then I'll go broke. How do you do it?
Luke: Do what? Go broke?
Lorelai: No, run this place, handle all the stress?
Luke: The place isn't stressful.
Lorelai: It's not?
Luke: Well, actually, at this moment, it is a little.

Lorelai: Oh, hey. I want you to take a tour of the inn.
Luke: Why don't I just wait till the place is repossessed? Then I can see it at public auction.
Lorelai: How can you be so mean to me when I only managed to line one of my eyes?
Luke: I apologize.
Lorelai: Seriously, I want to give you an official investors tour. You should see the place. It's looking really good.

Lorelai: Hey, you want to see the kitchen? The stove is a thing of beauty. We're thinking of just ordering out for everything so we never have to use it.
Luke: Great idea. And I wasn't gonna kibitz.

Lorelai: All this sad talk is putting a serious damper on my stressing.
Luke: The place is great.
Lorelai: Do you think I can do this?
Luke: I already told you you can do this, and I already told you that I already told you you can do this.
Lorelai: You're making me long for Shel.
Luke: Eh, you'd never want for chicken.

Lorelai: You know, Dean, we appreciate you working late all this week.
Dean: Hey, I appreciate the extra cash. Oh. The wire snapped. I can fix it.
Sookie: [gasps] He's like a superhero.
Lorelai: He's like Super Mr. Fix-it man.
Sookie: We'll work on a name.
Lorelai: Your tool belt would glow.
Dean: I can't wait.

Man: [on tape] Complete the following sentence. I feel angry because...
Luke: I am listening to this tape.
Man: I feel hopeful because...
Luke: This tape must end eventually.
Man: I feel helpless because...
Luke: I wonder if anyone's ever kicked an audiotape's ass.

Liz: Are you gonna dress up?
Luke: Absolutely.
Liz: As a minstrel?
Luke: Sure. Who's the guy who jumps around in bells and a pointy hat?
Liz: The court jester.
Luke: Yes, the court jester. I will come as a court jester.
