Rory: Where do you think you're going?
Lorelai: Hi.
Rory: It's 1:00 in the morning.
Lorelai: I know, but my watch stopped during a terrible car wreck and I had to save kittens and small children and four baby chicks.
Rory: Did you have a nice time?
Lorelai: Not bad.
Rory: That's a very big smile for a not bad night.

Lorelai: How was your night?
Rory: Homework.
Lorelai: How many times did Dean call?
Rory: Not that many.
Lorelai: How many?
Rory: Three. [off Lorelai's look] Five.
Lorelai: Not an all-time high, but very respectable.

Emily: How's the squab?
Rory: It's good.
Emily: Lorelai?
Lorelai: It's the best tiny, weird bird I've ever eaten.
Emily: I'm glad.
Lorelai: Why are you smiling like that?
Emily: What are you talking about?
Lorelai: You're smiling.
Rory: I'm happy.
Lorelai: That's not your "I'm happy" smile.
Rory: Well, what smile is it, Lorelai?
Lorelai: That's your "I've got something on Lorelai" smile.

Emily: Tell me about Parents' Day.
Lorelai: What?
Emily: Parents' Day. Next Wednesday. When parents are supposed to go to classes with their children all day long.
Lorelai: The Chilton newsletter came out today.
Rory: Yeah.
Lorelai: Right.
Emily: You didn't read yours?
Lorelai: Not yet.
Emily: Ah.
Lorelai: But you knew that.
Emily: Well.
Lorelai: Hence the smile.

Rory: Mom, it's not a big deal. You're busy.
Emily: You know what? I'll go.
Lorelai: What?
Emily: Why not? You have to work. I, as you have insinuated, have no life. Therefore, I will go sit with Rory at Parents' Day.
Lorelai: I'm not busy. I'm going. I will be there. That's it. End of story, okay?
Emily: Fine.
Lorelai: Fine.
Emily: Did you read on Page 2 about the mother-daughter talent show? [Lorelai chokes on her food]
Rory: You okay?

Lorelai: Have you seen my orange suede hairclip thingy?
Rory: Top right-hand drawer.
Lorelai: It's not there.
Rory: Did you check in your purse?
Lorelai: Yes.
Rory: Under your scarves?
Lorelai: Yes.
Rory: In your sock drawer?
Lorelai: [gasps] I love you.

Lorelai: Wait!
Rory: What?
Lorelai: Blue disco sequin bag.
Rory: No.
Lorelai: Why?
Rory: Bad.
Lorelai: Really?
Rory: Bye.
Lorelai: Wait!
Rory: Mom, Mr. Medina's gonna be here any minute!
Lorelai: Just tell me one more thing. Where's the silver dangly bracelet?
Rory: I'm wearing it.
Lorelai: Why are you wearing it?
Rory: Because it's mine.
Lorelai: Right. Can I borrow your silver dangly bracelet?
Rory: I'll leave it on the table for you.

Rory: Can I get you something? We don't really have anything but if you wanted something and we had it, I'd get it for you.
Max Medina: [sighs] I'm fine.
Rory: We have water.
Max Medina: That's okay.
Rory: It's not bad water, actually. I mean, it's not a funny color or anything.
Max Medina: I'm good, really.
Rory: We have bottled water.
Max Medina: No, thanks.
Rory: One bottle, actually.
Max Medina: It's quite all right.
Rory: We really need to go to the store.

Max Medina: This is a little uncomfortable.
Rory: Yes, it is.
Max Medina: But the thing is, if things go well, the way I hope they're going... we might be doing this again.
Rory: Sitting uncomfortably?
Max Medina: [chuckles] Seeing each other outside of school.
Rory: That's okay. I am fine with this whole you and my mom thing.
Max Medina: Good. I'm glad.

Sookie: I can't believe you won't just sell them to me.
Jackson: And I can't believe you're being so small-minded.
Sookie: My stuffed fried squash blossoms are extremely popular with customers.
Jackson: Yes, I know.
Sookie: People come from all over and demand the stuffed fried squash blossoms.
Jackson: That is exactly my point.
Sookie: "What'll you have, sir?" "Anything that comes with stuffed fried squash blossoms." That's what I hear day in day out.
Jackson: Yes, great. I know. But all I'm asking you is to try stuffing something a little different this time, huh?
Sookie: A zucchini tush?
Jackson: Just a temporary name.
Sookie: You want me to serve my customers genetically engineered vegetable that's named after a butt?
Jackson: Hey, this is an all-natural vegetable hybrid that is perfectly safe, completely delicious, and... Yes, it looks a little odd, but you can put it on the map!
Sookie: I want the blossoms.
Jackson: Fine. You wanna think small, think small. I'm done.
