Rory: So it was just an open-ended plane ticket?
Lane: Just to save money. I guess I kind of overreacted.
Rory: Kind of? You did everything but drown yourself tied to the Statue of Liberty.

Luke: Hey.
Lorelai: Lewis and Clark have returned.
Luke: Which one are you?
Lorelai: I don't know. Which one had to paddle the canoe?

Luke: So, where'd you guys go?
Lorelai: Well, we drove around a little hit a B & B, and we took a tour of Harvard.
Luke: Harvard? Interesting.
Lorelai: It was amazing. Seeing Rory there, in a dorm room, in a classroom... She fit.
Luke: I can see her fitting there.
Lorelai: She was right at home.
Luke: So, how are you taking that?
Lorelai: Taking what?
Luke: Seeing her fit.
Lorelai: I loved it... and I hated it.
Luke: That seems about right.

Lorelai: This is Sever Hall, one of the oldest buildings at Harvard.
Emily: Focus the picture, Lorelai.
Lorelai: It is focused.
Rory: That's how it came out.
Emily: It's hurting my eyes.
Lorelai: Come on, Mom, it's supposed to be a little arty.
Rory: Plus, she doesn't know how to use a camera.
Lorelai: I've only had it six years.
Emily: It's like I have glaucoma.

Rory: Stop complaining about the tunes.
Lorelai: Stop complaining about our location.
Rory: Well, my complaint is legitimate. Yours is infantile.
Lorelai: Okay, you're right.
Woman: [on radio] Nonstop Country
Lorelai: Yes, country music. Must be my lucky day.

Lorelai: The point of this is to be spontaneous to drive and land someplace we've never been and never expected to be.
Rory: Sounds risky.
Lorelai: Sounds exciting.
Rory: Serendipity has never been kind to us.
Lorelai: Ah, yes, but I talked to Serendipity on the phone last night. She feels bad about how she's treated us in the past. We had a nice chat. It's all gonna be different now.

Rory: What did that sign say? It said 'Don't' or 'Death' on it.
Lorelai: Relax.
Rory: We're doomed.
Lorelai: Wrong. We're being guided by fate.
Rory: I think we're lost.
Lorelai: We can't be lost. We don't know where we're going.
Rory: You're going to stop before we drive into the Atlantic Ocean?
Lorelai: I'll try.
Rory: At least we'll know where we are.
Lorelai: Unless it's the Pacific.

Lorelai: You know what? I love road food.
Rory: I love it, too.
Lorelai: I mean, what could be better than the food at Haden's Nut House?
Rory: Unless you don't like nuts.
Lorelai: As if those people exist. You know, if I was in a rock band, touring and stuff, I'd make the driver stop at every Haden's Nut House we passed.
Rory: Wow, your Behind the Music is gonna be really wild.

Lorelai: [on the phone] Listen, do me a favor. Mention canceling the wedding to Miss Patty, will you? That way, by the time we get back...
Sookie: The whole town will know within the hour.
Lorelai: And hopefully, they will all have chatted it out of their systems before we get home.
Sookie: Consider it done.

Lorelai: Well, I think we just found the first room in world history that would have made Liberace say, "Whoa, step back. No one's that gay."
