‘Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days’

Season 3, Episode 1 -  Aired September 24, 2002

Lorelai is having strange dreams about Luke and has still not told her parents that Christopher left her again. Meanwhile, Rory is about to return from Washington and needs to make up her mind between Dean and Luke.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: Look, kid, you have gotta make up your mind. Jess, Dean, Jess, Dean, it's enough already. If you want Jess, that's fine – go get him, there he is. If you think that's the great love of your life, then great... grab a liver treat and a squeaky toy and run to him. Don't worry about that girl because I'm sure he will have moved onto somebody else in about an hour. But do something. Dean has been sweet and supportive and incredibly patient, and now you are officially treating him like dirt, and I'm sorry, but not only is that not you, he doesn't deserve that. God, I wish they knew another song!

Quote from Lorelai

Rory: I know all of this about Dean.
Lorelai: You do?
Rory: Yes, I do. I know how great he is. I knew it before you did!
Lorelai: Well, knowing this has apparently not stopped you from dragging his heart all over this town.
Rory: Not fair!
Lorelai: Yes, fair, the fairest, the Snow White of fair.
Rory: I don't wanna talk to you about this anymore.
Lorelai: Okay, listen, if you don't wanna be with Dean anymore, cut him loose. Let him find someone who does because this is just so... wrong!

Quote from Emily

Emily: Lorelai, nice to see you.
Lorelai: Oh, sorry I'm late, Mom.
Emily: No, don't be sorry. That's what the warm setting was invented for.

Quote from Richard

Richard: I may have to take one more call tonight, Emily. Ben Stellen and I got cut off. Hello Lorelai.
Emily: Well, come outside with us until he calls back. Lorelai's about to tell us something.
Richard: Oh, perhaps that she's decided to buy an accurate timepiece.
Emily: Oh, Richard.

Quote from Richard

Richard: If Christopher has found someone who will actually allow him to be a father to his own child, then of course, that's what he's going to do.
Emily: So you support this?
Richard: I understand this.
Emily: I am appalled by your attitude.
Richard: And I am shocked by your naïveté. Did you really expect this to work out? Did you really have pictures of Norman Rockwell family Christmases dancing in your head? Lorelai had her chance for a family, she walked away from it. That was her choice. He has a chance to be a father. I applaud him.
Emily: Then you're an idiot.
Richard: If you'll excuse me, I'm going into my study.

Quote from Lorelai

Luke: We're closed.
Lorelai: I know. Look, I didn't come here to make up, or to try to get you to forgive me, or talk. I wouldn't even have come here at all but I had a really crappy night and I really, really need a cup of coffee. So just pretend I'm not me. I'm Mimi, a new customer. I've never been in here before. I was just walking down the street and I spotted this place. "Ooh, hey, nice place". And I came in. Now Mimi is going to pour herself a cup of coffee and sit over here, way, far away from you, and she promises, just as soon as she's done, she will rinse out her own cup and leave.

Quote from Luke

Luke: You'll get it. [slides Lorelai a donut]
Lorelai: How do you know?
Luke: I know.
Lorelai: How do you know?
Luke: Because I know, okay? I know. Now eat your donut.
Lorelai: I'm really not very hungry.
Luke: Well, take it with you. You will be later. [Lorelai goes to pay] Forget it, first time customers are on the house. Mimi, was it?
Lorelai: Yeah.
Luke: Come again, Mimi.
Lorelai: Thanks, I will. Seems like a very nice place.

Quote from Rory

Rory: So how was dinner?
Lorelai: So how was Dean?
Rory: So how was dinner?
Lorelai: So how was Dean?
Rory: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Williams' sisters take center stage at Wimbledon once again.
