Emily: Well, your father calls every night at nine o'clock and we talk.
Lorelai: So, you spend fifteen minutes talking to Dad and then you hang up the phone and you... what? Watch television?
Emily: I don't watch that much television. I don't find forensic work quite as fascinating as the rest of the world.
Lorelai: But you have cable, right? I mean, you could watch movies.
Emily: Yes, but I never know where the maid puts that guide they send you, so I always wind up turning it on after a movie has already started and I don't like to come in on the middle of things.
Lorelai: But you could tape the movies, or get a DVD player.
Emily: I don't need a DVD player.
Lorelai: Well, why not? Then you could buy all those musicals you love and watch them whenever you felt like it.
Emily: I'm not an invalid, Lorelai.

Jess: Give me your order and get out.
Dean: Service with a smile. Six burgers, three cheese two cheddar, one Swiss. Two plain burgers, one chili burger with cheese and onions on the side. Three ham on ryes one mayo, one mustard, one combo. A combo means mustard and...
Jess: I know what a combo means.
Dean: Sorry, guess that confused look is just how your face is.

Emily: "Europe Through the Backdoor." "The Rough Guide to Europe." What kind of guidebooks are these?
Lorelai: The cheap kind.
Rory: They have all the good information about backpacking and staying in hostels.
Emily: Backpacking and staying in hostels?
Richard: Who's backpacking and staying in hostels?
Lorelai: We are. [Richard and Emily laugh]
Emily: No, you're not.
Richard: What a ridiculous thought.
Rory: We are. We're going to backpack around Europe.
Emily: Yes, I know, it's fun to tease your grandmother, dear. They're going to backpack across Europe, Richard.
Richard: I heard, sounds delightful. Perhaps we should join them.
Emily: That sounds wonderful. Tomorrow I'll go out and buy some cutoffs. [Richard chuckles]
