Lane: I have decided to make this whole Seventh Day Adventist College experience a good one. I'm gonna look on the bright side, find the silver lining, and make myself some lemonade.
Lorelai: Well, good for you.
Rory: The campus looks pretty.
Lorelai: Very pretty.
Lane: It's got two huge parks with gardens and lakes.
Lorelai: Two parks.
Lane: One for boys and one for girls. And you know, I had originally thought that this was gonna be a suffocating place with out of date rules and insane restrictions, but boy was I wrong. For example, curfew is up to 9:30. 9:45 if you're going for your Masters. Makeup will be permitted, as long as it identically matches your skin tone. And owning a Rolling Stones CD is no longer grounds for expulsion. You can work the demerits off in the campus clean-up crew.
Lorelai: There's a separate park for boys?
Lane: My life is over.

Lorelai: "Where's the ladies room?" "More coffee, please." "Does Antonio Banderas live near here?"
Rory: We do not need to know how to say "Does Antonio Banderas live near here?"
Lorelai: Oh, yes, we do.
Rory: Mom.
Lorelai: When we're in Spain, we need to know how to say, "Does Antonio Banderas live near here?" When in France, "Does Johnny Depp live near here?"
Rory: When in Rome, "Does Gore Vidal live near here?"
Lorelai: You know, you look like me, yet my ways are completely lost on you.

Lorelai: Hey, how important do you think it is to be able to say, "Help, I'm bleeding from the head"?
Rory: Just bring the phrase books.
Lorelai: No. If we learn all the phrases we need, then the phrase books are one less thing we have to lug around.
Rory: We will never be able to learn all the phrases in every language that we're going to need. Bring the books.
Lorelai: We can learn enough. Plus, doesn't everybody speak English over there anyway?
Rory: Ugly American, party of one.
Lorelai: Fine, we'll bring the books.
