Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: Behold the healing powers of a bath. So, tell me about the guy.
Rory: You know what's really special about our relationship? The total understanding about the need for one's privacy. I mean, you really understand boundaries.
Lorelai: So tell me about the guy.
Rory: Mom!
Lorelai: Is he dreamy?
Rory: Ugh. That's so Nick at Nite.
Lorelai: Well, I'm gonna find out anyway.
Rory: Really? How?
Lorelai: I'll spy.
Quote from Rory
Luke: Coffee. Fries. I can't stand it. This is so unhealthy. Rory, please, put down that cup of coffee. You do not want to grow up to be like your mom.
Rory: Sorry. Too late. [Lorelai smiles]
Lorelai: So, tell me about the guy.
Rory: Check, please.
Lorelai: No, really. Are you embarrassed to bring him home?
Rory: I'm not embarrassed.
Lorelai: Does he talk at all?
Rory: No, Mom, he's a mime. [chatter continues]
