Rory: Okay, do you remember when you begged me to go see The Fast and the Furious with you, and I said no? And then you begged me to go see The Fast and the Furious 2 with you, and I said no? And then "The Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift" came out...
Lorelai: They're cars, they drift.
Rory: And I was like, "I said no to 1 and I said no to 2. What do you think happened here, I got a brain transplant or something?"
Lorelai: I remember. You were very rude.
Rory: Well, I was wrong, because I have finally understood the awesomeness of cars crashing into things. Which is a long-winded way of saying that Taylor installed this red-light camera in front of Luke's, and Kirk was supposed to demonstrate how it worked, but he got totally blinded by the camera, and he ended up crashing Taylor's fancy blue T-bird - which, by the way, who knew? - into the side of Luke's. And nobody was hurt. Everything was fine. But the smash-up was unbelievable. And it went right into Luke's. And then Kirk gets up, he gets out of the car, and he's all like, Evel Knievel style, like, "I'm okay, I'm okay."

Babette: You're back!
Lorelai: [screams] Oh! God, Babette, you scared me.
Babette: Yeah, it's my voice. It frightens the hell out of people. I don't know what to do about it.
Lorelai: Well, you could start by not hiding in people's houses and leaping at them when they come home.
Babette: It's the nodules.
Lorelai: Who?
Babette: It's the nodules on my vocal chords. The more I strain my voice, the more they grow. It's nature's way of trying to get me to talk softer.
Lorelai: Babette, one. Nature, nada.

Luke: Look, I'm sorry about yesterday, but you kind of ambushed me, out of nowhere, and then you didn't give me a chance.
Lorelai: I gave you every chance.
Luke: You were going so fast.
Lorelai: Yeah, that's me. I'm fast. I'm the perfect storm of caffeine and genetics.
