Quote from Rory

Dean: What's that?

Quote from Lorelai

Taylor Doose: The ferocity of attack is not affected by whether they're in the larval or nymphal life stage or whether they're of the one-, two-, or three-host variety.
Miss Patty: Oh, I hate this, Taylor. Every year.
Babette: Yeah, we get it - ticks are bad.
Taylor Doose: Maybe people who are new to our town - thus, new to the town meeting - don't know the hazards of the common tick.
Gypsy: Ticks are bad! Moving on!
Taylor Doose: Don't hate the tick messenger. Hate the tick. Now, to continue-
Lorelai: He's ruined the word "nymphal" for me forever.

Quote from Miss Patty

Miss Patty: Nobody ever runs against Taylor.
Gypsy: He's our Papa Doc.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: We're gonna need buttons and balloons and a slogan. How about something like - I don't know - "Taylor sucks like a tick"? Don't worry. First blurb. We'll work it out.

Quote from Rory

Dean: The college student and the divorcee.
Rory: We'd make a good adult film.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: You did notice that the back of his pants are shorter than the front?
Sookie: How does that happen?
Lorelai: That's Kirk.
Sookie: It certainly is.

Quote from Lorelai

Sookie: How dirty.
Lorelai: I know. All he needed were some lying swift boat captains to complete the ambush.

Quote from Sookie

Sookie: Now we're gonna lose.
Lorelai: No, no, now, he may have the edge, but we've got the heart.
Sookie: Who the hell cares about heart?
Lorelai: We do, and people will. We just have to stay focused and do this one vote at a time.
Sookie: Who are you calling? Ben Affleck?

Quote from Sookie

Sookie: I just voted for my husband. Gimme that sticker. When I married him, I never thought that someday he'd go into politics. Of course, his winning the line-dance championship was also a bit of a shocker, so what the hell do I know?

Quote from Sookie

Sookie: And I'm gonna make stew for Jackson. When he loses, he'll get stew. He likes stew.
Lorelai: He's not gonna lose.
Sookie: Okay. But if he does...
Lorelai: then he'll get stew.
