Rory: [answers phone] Hello?
Paris: Here is the deal. He was bleeding internally when they brought him in, and they were worried about the oxygen levels in his blood, but he's stabilized now, and they're back up to normal, so that's no longer a concern. He was also running a high fever, so they put him on mondo doses of intravenous antibiotics. He has a partially collapsed lung-
Rory: Oh, my God!
Paris: Six broken ribs, a broken ankle, torn cartilage in both knees, and a severe concussion. He had surgery for the lung, and that went well. They did a thoracoscopy, which is a couple of small incisions in the chest. Then they put a tube into the lung to drain the fluid from the poral space so the lung can re-expand. That's way less invasive than a thoracotomy which is a similar operation. But for that one, they have to butterfly you like a shrimp. And that's it.
Rory: So, what does this mean?
Paris: It means he's out of immediate danger. He's young and healthy, and they expect him to make a full recovery.
Rory: Really? Like a full recovery, like he's going to recover fully?
Paris: That's what the doctor told me. He'll need some rehab, he won't be running, dancing, or jumping off a cliff anytime soon, but, yeah, he should be fine. He's a very lucky guy. He could have died. Those guys are idiots.

Lorelai: So, you all shopped out?
Luke: I got a couple more stores in me.
Lorelai: You know, you would make the best sherpa and the hottest. You could move to Nepal, open your own hot-sherpa shop, and make a fortune.

Lorelai: I will say, I do always like to buy one thing that you like that I don't 'cause I know it makes you happy, like that blouse.
Luke: You know, I thought you liked that.
Lorelai: Not really, but I liked how much you liked it, so I bought it. And I will wear it because I know that every time I do, you'll notice and appreciate it, and that will make me feel so good. And then because I feel so good, I'll start wearing it more and more, and I'll eventually really grow to like it, and I'll forget that I didn't really like it in the first place. And... holy crap, you've picked out all my favorite clothes.
Luke: I knew it.

Luke: All right, I'm Luke. Some of you know me. I'm April's dad. [applause] So, um, before we get the party started, I just wanted to lay down some ground rules - some simple dos and don'ts - so that everybody has a good time and goes home in one piece. Okay. So, this is the party area. You are to remain in the party area at all times. The kitchen is strictly off limits. Under no circumstances are you to enter the kitchen. It's incredibly dangerous back there. One turn of the wrong dial, you could burn your face off. And I've got so many knives back there, you so much as trip, you could lose an arm, you could chop off fingers, you could poke out an eye. And do not go upstairs. That is not part of the party area. Everyone must remain in the party area at all times. And finally, do not go outside. I will not give anybody permission to go outside, okay? Are we clear?

Luke: [on the phone] It's like a funeral hall in there. I didn't know 13-year-old girls could be so unhappy.
Lorelai: Where are you? I don't hear anything.
Luke: I'm in the storage room. I come in here and hide a lot.
Lorelai: And leaving them unsupervised?
Luke: Well, there's a peephole here I can see out of.
Lorelai: You're peeping at the girls from the storage room?
Luke: I do not have time for any weird jokes.
Lorelai: Okay, what are they doing?
Luke: Well, April was playing cards. Some of the others were reading and playing video games. At the moment, they're all just standing in line, waiting to go to the bathroom.
Lorelai: You didn't plan any activities?
Luke: It's a birthday party. I thought that was the activity!

Kirk: The movie's all ready to go.
Lorelai: Okay, thanks, Kirk.
Kirk: I just need it back for the Weinstein retirement party. Mel Weinstein's a nut for John Hughes movies.

Sookie: I'm kind of sad I wasn't at the party. I feel like I missed out.
Lorelai: I thought you might feel that way, so I brought you some leftovers. Bonne bell lip smackers, anyone?
Sookie: No!
Lorelai: Yes. I've got original, glitter gloss, grape crush, and Dr. Pepper.
Sookie: Mmm! I feel like I'm 15 again. Jackson's so getting under my bra tonight.
Lorelai: Oh, my God! [both giggle]

Lorelai: Thank God. I am so nutrition-deprived. All I've eaten in the last two days is cake, candy, cookies, and about 10 pounds of flavored lip gloss.
Luke: Well, then, let's eat.
Lorelai: Good. Now, do you want to be civilized and eat off plates or just right out of the containers? I know you don't approve, but I think there is some sort of origami thing happening with these containers that makes the food taste better in them. It's like feng shui for noodles. And I'm not just saying that because I'm lazy and I don't want any cleanup.

Lorelai: Is there something long and sharp sticking out of my head?
Sookie: No.
Lorelai: I want there to be. There's an effect. I need a cause.
Sookie: The cause was 10 giant shots of tequila, sweetie.
Lorelai: It makes me woozy just hearing that.

Sookie: And then after that...
Lorelai: There's an "after that"?
Sookie: You tried to start a limbo contest, a poker game, and a secret club for supercool party people only. None of those really took off, especially the limbo, considering your choice of limbo stick was...
Both: Zach's great-uncle's cane.
Lorelai: Oh, yeah, is he okay?
Sookie: He stumbled, but we caught him. He's fine.
Lorelai: So, is that all? Anything else I need to know about?
Sookie: Nope, after you crowned yourself arm-wrestling champion of the world, Christopher and Rory scooped you up and got you home.
