As Rory and Paris anxiously wait to hear from Harvard, they both vie to give an important school speech. Meanwhile, Lorelai runs into Max Medina again.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: Okay, I got the coats hung, and I slipped the girl a buck to get the really good hangers. You know, the ones with the dry cleaning foam strips still attached.

Quote from Richard

Rory: Grandpa, you came.
Richard: Of course I came. I wouldn't miss my granddaughter talking on national TV. That's quite a nice turnout you have here.
Lorelai: Yes, we're very proud of the number of people who have nothing to do on a Friday night.
Richard: Your mind never tires for a moment, does it?
Lorelai: It will once people start talking.
Richard: Charming.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: Excuse me, hi. I am not seeing my coat here, and it was very cute and it was on sale, and I will fling myself off a building if I lose it.
Woman: We put some of the coat racks in the classroom over there, take a look. Otherwise the staircase to the roof is on your right.
Lorelai: Thank you. Took two hundred years, but somebody at Chilton finally cracked a joke.

Quote from Lorelai

Max Medina: So, is Rory okay?
Lorelai: Oh, yeah, I just went back there. She's taking care of Paris, but she's good, thanks.
Max Medina: I must say, I've been a teacher for ten years now, and it wasn't until today I realized, it must be really hard to be a girl.
Lorelai: And with the invention of Sephora, really expensive, too.
Max Medina: I'm very sorry.
Lorelai: Oh, don't be. At least we get to wear skirts without being Scottish or riding a float in the gay pride parade.
Max Medina: That'll change someday my friend, and when it does, I still won't wear a skirt. But I'll applaud those that do, and then cross the street so nobody sees I'm with them.

Quote from Sookie

Jackson: Did I tell you how happy I am?
Sookie: No, you didn't.
Jackson: I have never been happier about anything in my entire life.
Sookie: Really?
Jackson: Our wedding day, but this is running a really close second.
Sookie: Jackson.
Jackson: Now if you would just get rid of the knives, I think it could make it a tie. [Sookie kisses Jackson] I wasn't kidding about the knives.
Sookie: Goodnight Jackson.
Jackson: If I could read you the statistics just one more time.
Sookie: I love you, Jackson.

Quote from Rory

Lorelai: The big one.
Rory: Looks like Paris was right.
Lorelai: [finds another two large envelopes] Apparently, you are the biggest virgin in the world. Wow. So, what?
Rory: I don't know.
Lorelai: Well, what does this mean?
Rory: I don't know.
Lorelai: Which one are you gonna choose?
Rory: I don't know.
Lorelai: I guess we better go inside. We both have a lot of things to figure out, huh? So what are the odds that Paris is ever gonna have sex again in this lifetime?
Rory: I don't know.
