Rory: [on the phone] Oh, my God!
Lane: Are you all right?
Rory: I just got hit by a deer!
Lane: You hit a deer?
Rory: No! I got hit by a deer.
Lane: How do you get hit by a deer?
Rory: I was at a stop sign, and he hit me!

Sookie: He said my risotto was fine.
Lorelai: Isn't it?
Sookie: No, it's not fine. Fine is a word you use when someone stops you on the street that you sort of know, but you don't want to talk to. They ask you how you are, and you say "Fine." And that's enough so they don't have to keep talking to you, "cause they don't want to. Then they can feel good because they've been considerate enough to ask and if, God forbid, something actually is wrong they'll actually sit down, take time and listen, even if they don't want to.
Lorelai: Sookie, I don't think he meant fine as a slam or as a monologue.
Sookie: He couldn't have meant it any other way.
Lorelai: Sookie, I hate to see you get so upset over one little review.
Sookie: This is pride, Lorelai. I mean, you know about this risotto. I mean, on my mother's deathbed-
Lorelai: You made the risotto and she lived three more years.
Sookie: She was supposed to be dead. The doctor said she wouldn't live through the night.
Lorelai: And she lived because of the risotto, the magic risotto.
Sookie: And this guy had the nerve to say it was fine.
Lorelai: I don't think he knew the story.

Rory: But you don't understand. I was up all night studying and then I missed my bus. So I had to drive.
Max Medina: Let's discuss this outside.
Rory: So, I'm driving down this road, and I get hit by a deer.
Max Medina: You hit a deer?
Rory: No, I got hit by a deer. [Max Medina scoffs] You don't believe me? I've got antler prints on my mother's car.
Max Medina: Rory, come on.
Rory: No! You have to let me take this test! I'm ready for it. I know everything there is about Shakespeare.
Max Medina: Okay, okay, you've to calm down now.
Rory: I know his birthday, his mother's name-
Paris: Loser.
Rory: And just what is wrong with you? You already have everything. You already have the grades and the status. What is wrong with you that you have this need to be the biggest jerk in the world?
Max Medina: Okay, let's go.
Rory: Huh. What's up, quippy? Why so silent?
Max Medina: Outside, now.
Rory: [to Tristin] And, for the last time, the name is Rory!
