Michel: [both on the phone simultaneously] Yes, we're aware of it.
Lorelai: Yes, we're working on it.
Michel: As soon as the towels arrive, your room will get the first one.
Lorelai: I swear to you, no one gets a towel before you do.
Michel: Did you get the complimentary champagne we sent you?
Lorelai: Just open the champagne and drink, relax, enjoy. Of course it's free.
Michel: We'll call you soon.
Lorelai: Talk to you soon. [both hang up] I'm killing Manny.
Michel: I'm helping.
Lorelai: I'm gonna strangle him with one of his own towels, I swear to God.

Emily: So, Lorelai, how are you?
Lorelai: I'm fine, Mom.
Emily: Rory?
Rory: I'm fine, too, Grandma.
Lorelai: How are you, Mom?
Emily: Also fine.
Lorelai: Oh, look at that, all three of us fine, just like the Judds.

Emily: Well, I visited the family mausoleum today.
Lorelai: Never what you think it's gonna be.
Emily: I just wanted to check on things, make sure they were keeping it up, changing the flowers, you know.
Lorelai: Uh-huh.
Emily: So I went inside and looked around, and it occurred to me that there's a very limited space there. Now, of course, there's a slot open for me and Richard, and you and Rory. But after the two of you, that's it. No more room for anyone else.
Lorelai: Ah.
Emily: Yes. So if you actually do meet someone someday, I don't know where to put him.
Lorelai: Well, maybe we could just dump him at the local pool hall.
Emily: Don't be silly.
Lorelai: No, 'cause this is definitely not a conversation for that.

Emily: I looked into expanding into the crypt next door, but the family that owns it won't even discuss it.
Rory: I'm getting a little creeped out.
Emily: So I talked to the head of the cemetery, and he suggested that we buy an annex.
Rory: An annex?
Emily: Yes.
Lorelai: You know, like an outlet store. It would specialize in the irregular family members.

Lorelai: I have an idea. I'll probably go first. Just throw Rory in with me later.
Rory: I'd like my own space, if you don't mind.
Lorelai: Why? It'd totally be fun to be there together. I plan to be buried with all the good CDs and my "rock star" belt.

Lorelai: So, Dad, how's retired life treating you?
Richard: Fascinating, actually. I find myself noticing things. Everyday things that I must have witnessed a hundred times before and just walked right past. Like yesterday, your mother moved a vase, the one in the hall. And she didn't do it in front of me.
Lorelai: Oh, no, 'cause nice girls never move vases in front of men.
Richard: And she only moved it a little but as I passed it by, I noticed it had been moved.
Rory: Impressive.
Richard: And every day's a new discovery. Your mother changed her hair or she wore shoes that didn't match her purse.
Emily: Richard.
Richard: Last Thursday.
Emily: Oh, for heaven's sake.

Lorelai: What's up, Mom?
Emily: Nothing's up.
Lorelai: You were twitching. I saw you.
Emily: You did not see me twitching.
Lorelai: When Dad talked about the vase, you pulled a full-on Tabitha.
Emily: I did not pull a Tabitha.

Lorelai: Okay, I give. What is this?
Emily: Sweetbreads.
Lorelai: Sweetbreads. So that's, uh...
Emily: Pancreas.

Richard: Is that the same cup of coffee you had when I left?
Emily: What?
Richard: When I left an hour ago, you were having a cup of coffee.
Emily: Oh, no, this is a different cup of coffee.
Richard: So that's your third cup of coffee this morning.
Emily: I guess.
Richard: Interesting. I just realized you have three cups of coffee in the morning.
Emily: I don't drink three cups of coffee every morning.
Richard: Every morning this week.
Emily: Well, so what?
Richard: Nothing. Just an observation, that's all. Just a lot of coffee to drink, early in the morning.

Emily: Any thoughts on what you'd like for dinner tonight?
Richard: No, anything's fine.
Emily: All right.
Richard: What are you writing down?
Emily: Lamb chops.
Richard: Lamb chops. Is that for tonight?
Emily: Yes. Do you not want lamb chops tonight?
Richard: No, lamb chops is fine for tonight. I just thought a nice roast would also be nice for a change.
Emily: Roast it is.
Richard: Of course, if you want lamb chops-
Emily: We're having roast, Richard.
Richard: Okay, if that is what you want.
