Quote from Michel

Michel: [on the phone] No, no. This is unacceptable. Put your supervisor on the phone now. Now, right now.
Lorelai: Hey, everything okay, Michel?
Michel: Yes, everything is fine. Lots of sunshine. I'll be right with you. [on the phone] I insist you do something about this before I go out and find a stick and make it pointy and come and find your cubicle and poke you very hard.

Quote from Michel

Michel: I don't know how it works.
Lorelai: Figure it out!
Michel: You figure it out! It's like the space shuttle in here.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: [on the phone] It's too sparkly.
Rory: It's not too sparkly.
Lorelai: I look like a chandelier.
Rory: What shoes are you wearing?
Lorelai: The pink pumps.
Rory: I like those.
Lorelai: Are they a little too "Come and get it"?
Rory: Don't you want him to come and get it?
Lorelai: Uh, yes, but I want it to be his idea to come and get it. It's not the same if the shoes tell him to "Come and get it".
Rory: I really, really want to stop saying "Come and get it".

Quote from Rory

Rory: [on the phone] The party's a Quentin Tarantino themed party, and you have to wear a costume, so I'm going as Gogo.
Lorelai: 'Cause you have the skirt.
Rory: And no other ideas.
Lorelai: Cluelessness is the mother of invention.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: Reggae Fever?
Luke: So?
Lorelai: When did you buy this? Where did you buy this? Why did you buy this?
Luke: I was at the gas station last week. It was at the register. What's the big deal?
Lorelai: The big deal is it's Reggae Fever.
Luke: I know.
Lorelai: When you look in the mirror, do you see Reggae Fever?
Luke: It was cheap.
Lorelai: "Ja Glory" by Toots Bambada. "Lively up Yourself" by the Family Zigzag. "Let your Ya be Ya" by Ranking Roy. What else am I going to find in here? Ganja and a yellow, green and red knit cap?
Luke: I bought a C.D. I didn't adopt the entire Rastafarian culture.
Lorelai: This is so weird. I mean, to think that there was this whole chunk of time when we weren't together. We were living totally separate lives. I was just working like crazy and you were running around, buying reggae C.D.s.

Quote from Luke

Luke: My God, turn that off.
Lorelai: Getting to you, huh?
Luke: You keep playing the same song over and over and over.
Lorelai: I've got news for you. That was not the same song.
Luke: Oh, my God, you're kidding.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: No, Luke! You can't hurt a raccoon. They're cute. They have face masks like little furry burglars.
Luke: And sharp teeth that chew through your wiring, and rabies...
Lorelai: Luke.
Luke: I'm not going to hit it, I'm going to scare it.
Lorelai: Hey, why don't you play it your Reggae Fever?

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: What were you thinking?
Luke: Kirk was at the diner talking about how he wished how he and Lulu had what we have, and I just mentioned-
Lorelai: Are you insane? Everybody knows you can't mention anything to Kirk.
Luke: I was cornered. I was tired. I wanted to go to sleep.
Lorelai: Well, now we have to go in there and take care of him. He is now our responsibility.
Luke: But-
Lorelai: Uh, uh! Pottery Barn, baby. You break it, you buy it.
Luke: Ah, geez.

Quote from Emily

Lorelai: [answers phone] Hello?
Emily: [screaming at Luke over phone] Just because you run a diner and have mastered the art of the blank stare does not mean it's going to work with me. And Richard went through a great deal of trouble to set the whole thing up, and you never even called Herb Smith. Apparently, you can't follow through with anything! Not even a razor!
Lorelai: [enters] Mom, what are you doing here?
Emily: I am having what I'm sure will turn out to be yet another fruitless conversation with this man.
Lorelai: I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry.
Luke: It's okay.

Quote from Michel

Michel: [on the phone] Look, Jerry, I sold you the motor home. It is now yours. I'm a very busy man. I do not have time for this. All right, for twenty dollars I will measure the shower for you. No, that is on top of the forty for the cupboard space and the pull-out table. Well, I'm sorry if you're feeling ripped off. I can call elastic-pants lady and see if she'd like to take the motor home off your hands. I thought so. Hold on.
[After Michel walks into the RV, he finds a naked Kirk sleeping on the bed]
