Luke: Listen.
Lorelai: Are you cooking?
Luke: Is that listening?
Lorelai: Well, I'm hungry.
Luke: Focus.
Lorelai: I'm hungry.
Luke: Shh.
Lorelai: Fine. I don't hear anything.
Luke: Exactly.
Lorelai: Okay, Simon, Garfunkel.

Luke: You're not happy they're gone?
Lorelai: No, I am. I just wanted to say "goodbye."
Luke: Goodbye?
Lorelai: I wanted to have a "We're done" party, buy them some pizza.
Luke: More pizza.
Lorelai: And I had going-away presents for them.
Luke: I gave them a present, a $2,000 going-away present. That's got to bring some smiles.
Lorelai: But I bought paper hats and noisemakers.
Luke: The place was covered with dust. You were woken up at 6:00 a.m. every morning by the hammering. I thought you'd be happy.
Lorelai: I am. I'm just sad at the same time. You've never been with a woman before?

Emily: Sumatra, please get my granddaughter a plate.
Rory: That's all right, Sumatra. I'm just going up to my room.
Emily: Sumatra, please tell my granddaughter that all food is to be consumed in the dining room.
Rory: Sumatra, please tell my grandmother, what?
Emily: That's the rule in this house, Rory.
Rory: I'm late for community service.
Emily: Food is meant to be consumed in the dining room or not at all.
Rory: What about when you take your tea outside on the patio?
Emily: That is in the afternoon. This is the morning, and in the morning you eat at the table in the dining room.
Rory: Fine. I'll be back this afternoon.
Emily: [to Sumatra] Well, if you expect that muffin to fly back to the kitchen, you'd better go get it a cape.
