Season 4, Episode 22 - Aired May 18, 2004
Lorelai, Sookie and Michel finally open up the Dragonfly Inn for a test run with their friends and family. Meanwhile, Lorelai tries to figure out where things stand with Luke, while Rory tries to talk to Dean.
Quote from Rory
Rory: Jess bailed on me twice.
Lane: I know, but how incredibly romantic to have this guy show up out of the blue and want to take you away with him.
Rory: When I first met Jess, I thought, "What could be better than this? He's smart, good taste in books and music, so cute." But Jess is great one minute and then the next you know, as far as I know, I could have said yes, packed my bag, and by the time I got to the car, he would have changed his mind.
Lane: It's part of why he's cute. He's unpredictable.
Rory: I guess. You know, when I was with Dean, I always knew that no matter what happened, he would be there.
Lane: Dean was very dependable.
Rory: It was more than that. He's well, he was so- I was safe, and he was so nice to me.
Lane: He really loved you.
Rory: I think I really blew it there, you know? I didn't appreciate it.
Lane: Every girl has to fall for a bad boy. It's the rule. It's the reason so many accountants eventually get married.
Quote from Rory
Rory: What's your damage, Heather?
Lorelai: I think I'm dating Luke.
Rory: What?
Lorelai: I'm not sure. It's just a possibility. I could be wrong.
Quote from Lorelai
Rory: But how? When?
Lorelai: I went with him to his sister's wedding, and it was really nice. We had a really good time. We laughed a lot, and we ate, and then we danced.
Rory: Danced? How?
Lorelai: We pop-locked.
Rory: Was it a fast dance, slow dance, group dance?
Lorelai: It was a slow dance. What is "group dance?"
Rory: The hustle, the hora.
Lorelai: No hustle, no hora. It was a slow dance. A waltz. Luke can waltz.
Rory: Luke can waltz?!
Lorelai: Luke can waltz.
Rory: Look how you just said, "Luke can waltz."
Lorelai: What, I'm just saying, I'm surprised that Luke can waltz.
Rory: That sounded more like, "I'm surprised I still have my clothes on."
Quote from Richard
Lorelai: You okay, Dad?
Richard: I'm fine. When is dessert? I have work to do.
Emily: It's coming as quickly as the woman can spoon fruit over ice cream.
Richard: Well, clearly, she has carpal tunnel or some other modern disease which is slowing her down.
Emily: If she's going too slow for you, why don't you just go into the kitchen and give her a hand?
Quote from Kirk
Luke: Get out of my apartment.
Kirk: This place is small. I always pictured you in a bigger place.
Luke: Do me a favor and don't picture me in any place, okay, Kirk?
Kirk: You have nice windows, though. I don't have windows. My room at my mom's house used to be a bomb shelter. It's very cold but great for racquetball.
Quote from Kirk
Kirk: Lorelai invited Lulu and me to the test run of the inn. Lulu is very excited about the invitation. It's all she talks about. A romantic weekend at the inn with me. Anyhow, I'm a little concerned about this invitation, because Lulu and I have never spent the night together.
Luke: Oh well, this is not a comfortable area for me.
Kirk: I mean, we've had sex. Lots and lots of sex.
Luke: And this is even more uncomfortable.
Kirk: We just haven't actually spent the night together.
Quote from Kirk
Luke: Kirk, that's terrible.
Kirk: Well, I'm used to it now, so it's kind of second nature to me, but Lulu...
Luke: Right, Lulu.
Kirk: How is she going to take it? I mean, I could scare her or ninja-kick her and lock her up with a pillow.
I think I love her, Luke, and I haven't even told her that I love her. I spelled it out in chocolate-covered Oreos once, but she was really hungry, and I'm not sure if she read it first.
Quote from Lorelai
Rory: You are the bad seed.
Lorelai: "I have the prettiest mother. Everybody thinks so."
Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: Hi, how is everything this evening?
Babette: Oh, my god, these robes!
Miss Patty: What are they made of? 'Cause I am never getting dressed again.
Lorelai: How are you doing?
Luke: I'm just staring at my plate.
Babette: He's shy. My bathrobe slipped earlier, and his poor little heart couldn't take it.
Miss Patty: He's been staring at his salad ever since.
Luke: I like salad.
Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: Hey, I have no need of salad in my life ever, but this is amazing.
