Quote from Lorelai

Rory: I told you, it's over.
Lorelai: It's not over until he's out of the house with the ring off.
Rory: He took the ring off.
Lorelai: Oh, my God, I don't believe this.
Rory: He's in love with me, not Lindsay.
Lorelai: Does Lindsay know that?
Rory: She's not good for him, okay? She lets him quit school and work himself to death and-
Lorelai: No, no, Rory, you can't be one of those girls who blames the wife for forcing the husband to cheat.
Rory: He wasn't cheating.
Lorelai: He was cheating, Rory. He was cheating, and you were cheating with him. There's no other way to spin that, kid.
Rory: I'm not spinning it, and I'm not a kid. I'm 19.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: This is your first time. It's just not the way your first time was supposed to be.
Rory: Oh, and how was my first time supposed to be?
Lorelai: Well, first of all, it was supposed to be in a retirement home. And secondly, ideally, it was supposed to be with someone single.
Rory: My first time was with someone sweet and kind who loves me.
Lorelai: I didn't raise you to be like this. I didn't raise you to be the kind of girl who sleeps with someone else's husband.
Rory: You slept with dad when he was with Sherry.
Lorelai: He wasn't married to Sherry.
Rory: He was engaged, and she was pregnant.
Lorelai: So, this is all my fault? I set one crappy example for you, and you have no choice but to follow in my footsteps? [Rory walks off] Rory, what are you going to do now? Huh? Is there a plan?

Quote from Rory

Rory: I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Lorelai: I just want what's best for you, that's all!
Rory: I don't want to talk about it!
Lorelai: I just don't want you to get hurt, Rory. What if he doesn't leave her? Now you're all emotionally involved.
Rory: You're just mad because I didn't come running to you to discuss whether or not I was ready for this step. I decided it on my own.
Lorelai: Well, obviously, you weren't ready for this step. The very fact that you chose another girl's guy to sleep with proves that!
Rory: He was my boyfriend first!
Lorelai: But you dumped him! You rejected him! You picked someone else!
Rory: Stop it!
Lorelai: Rory!
Rory: I hate you for ruining this for me!
