Lorelai: I think internships are a Communist plot.
Richard: What?
Lorelai: Forcing someone to work without pay? It's a little Pinko, isn't it? I mean, where's Roy Cohn when you need him?
Emily: Have you lost your mind?
Lorelai: No, no. It's still sloshing around up there.

Lorelai: [on the phone] Wow, congratulations.
Rory: It's a pretty amazing opportunity.
Lorelai: Yeah, sounds like it. You'll be having lunch with the off-bet editors from the Times. Hanging out with Peter Jennings. Dan Rather will be valet parking your car.
Rory: Yeah, it's more likely that I'll be pulling wire reports off the AP machine, but sure.

Rory: [on the phone] I am not returning the blue sweater again, so don't think about asking.
Lorelai: But I want it, I need it.
Rory: I've already returned the Capri pants twice. I've tried to return a couple of your other items that were all sales final, which makes me look retail simple. And this is not the first, but the second time I will have returned the blue sweater.
Lorelai: Ooh, the Capri pants. Have you taken those back yet?
Rory: I can't show my face in any stores in New Haven. They think I'm Paper Mooning them.
Lorelai: Oh, she was very cute in Paper Moon. You're very cute, too.
Rory: Calling me cute is not going to persuade me. And I have classes. A life.
