Paris: As his parting shot to me, Charleston never responded to the three aspects of the pledge that I had an objection to and considered rewriting. That's not going to stop me from using air quotes.

Sookie: Not crying, right?
Lorelai: Not crying. Keeping our cool so we don't miss anything.
Sookie: Tears get in your eyes.
Lorelai: Then you miss things.
Sookie: So we're not crying.
Lorelai: Not crying.
Sookie: Not crying.
Jackson: Not crying. [to Luke] Not crying.
Luke: What?
Lorelai: No crying.
Luke: I'm not crying.

Emily: Where is she, do you see her?
Lorelai: She's the one in the robe.
Emily: Lorelai, please.
Lorelai: She's lost in a sea of blue polyester, Mom. I couldn't point her out if I wanted to.

Jackson: Richard, how much to insure all this?
Richard: Well, the insurance is probably not prohibitive, but the deductibles would be enormous. Well into six figures.
Luke: Six figures?
Jackson: That's like having no insurance at all.
Luke: So if there was a fire...
Sookie: Guys, please stop assessing the value of the building and pay attention. Rory's coming up.

Rory: Well, good, I'm glad you found me. I wanted to say goodbye, too.
Paris: Good. Well, good luck.
Rory: You know, it's weird, most of the time I really hated you.
Paris: Yeah, I really hated you, too. [they hug]

Richard: Rory, there is your gift. It's the one with the bow.
Rory: Grandpa.
Emily: Richard.
Richard: Oh, for Pete's sake. Well, it was the only one there when I drove it up.
Emily: You should've put a more distinctive bow on it.
Richard: Well, how was I supposed to know that every kid at Chilton was getting a car?
Rory: You got me a car?
Richard: We got you a car.

Emily: Have fun in Europe. Both of you.
Lorelai: Thank you, Mom.
Emily: When do you get back?
Lorelai: The 27th.
Emily: Terrific. We'll see you that Friday for dinner.
Lorelai: [to Rory] Explain the win-win-win thing again.
Rory: Everybody wins, that's what it is.

Rory: [on the phone] Jess, is that you? Jess, I'm pretty sure it's you and I'm pretty sure you've been calling and not saying anything but wanna say something. Hello? You're not going to talk? Fine, I'll talk. You didn't handle things right at all. You could've talked to me. You could've told me that you were having trouble in school and weren't going to graduate, and that your dad had been there, but you didn't. And you ended up not taking me to my prom and not coming to my graduation and leaving again without saying goodbye again, and that's fine, I get it, but that's it for me. I'm going to Europe tomorrow and I'm going to Yale and I'm moving on. And I'm not going to pine. I hope you didn't think I was going to pine, okay? I think... I think I may have loved you, but I just need to let it go. So, that's it, I guess. I hope you're good. I want you to be good, and... Okay, so, goodbye. That word sounds really lame and stupid right now, but there it is. Goodbye.

Rory: What are we doing?
Lorelai: Leaving our mark. Got a knife?
Rory: A knife? For what?
Lorelai: Carving our initials. Come on, knife, knife.
Rory: Like the switchblade I keep in my sock? No, I left it at home.

Lorelai: Somewhere in the floor?
Rory: This marble is two hundred years old. Harriet Beecher Stowe walked on this marble.
Lorelai: The banister.
Rory: Was donated by Robert Frost.
Lorelai: The sconce.
Rory: Was ceremonially lit for the first time by Thomas Edison.
Lorelai: Geez, is there anything in this whole room that some famous dead person didn't have something to do with. [a student walks by] Cool it, cool it. And this is some very interesting architectural do-dads and hoo-ha's.
Rory: And wingdings and tum-tum's.
Lorelai: That was close.
