Lane: I've had it.
Rory: Had what?
Lane: I'm getting to the bottom of this.
Paris: Spank his bottom!
Lane: He can't do this! We're friends too, as well as lovers if we ever get married. [storms off]
Paris: She walks funny.

Taylor Doose: [v.o.] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Stars Hollow dioramic history room presentation.
Please stand toward the center of the room, and remember, no talking, no smoking, and please, no lewd behavior of any kind during our presentation.
Luke: Hey.
Lorelai: I'm just getting the lewd behavior out of the way before the presentation.
Taylor Doose: [v.o.] It's the dawn of time. And whether you believe that a Supreme Being created the earth, or in the more and more discredited theory of evolution, one thing's for certain. Early man walked the land we are now on. And while no printed record survived, there's no proof that the first tools weren't invented right here in Stars Hollow. [caveman grunts]
Lorelai: That wrench is really getting him hot.
Luke: Hey, there's people!
Lorelai: That's half the fun.

Taylor Doose: I'm thinking we should keep it open for at least a year. Even if it doesn't make money. At that point, we've got the publicity. We've made the guidebooks. My God, we'll have a Cooperstown-type attraction on our hands.
Luke: Taylor, no.
Taylor Doose: What?
Luke: Are you blind? This place is a piece of crap.
Taylor Doose: What? A piece of-
Luke: Look at it. The old man's stuff, it's not even historical. It's all a bunch of stuff that may have belonged to people who may have distantly related to people who may have been historically meaningful. And the diorama...

Luke: I want the house.
Taylor Doose: What?
Luke: I want this house, Taylor. All my life, I've loved this house. They don't build them like this anymore. I mean, you saw the banisters, right?
Taylor Doose: Well, yeah, but-
Luke: No. I've always said to myself, if you're going to have a family and buy a house, then it's got to be this house.
Taylor Doose: Oh.
Luke: It's why I volunteered, okay? I got involved with this whole thing to stay close to the house and keep on your good side. You had the control.
Taylor Doose: I should have known that you were doing this for selfish reasons.
Luke: Taylor, look. I know you don't like me and I can't change that. But I've got to be honest here. This museum is not going to make it. This property, these expenses, the taxes, the upkeep. I mean, the floor broke through from just the cannonball. It's going to take money. Do you want to keep a money loser on the books? Do you want that to be your legacy in Stars Hollow? Because that's what this is, Taylor. It's a money pit.

Lorelai: We have got to bring everyone we know to this thing immediately, before the Nederlanders swoop in and whisk it away to Broadway.
Sookie: And at three bucks a pop. That crappy Abba show costs a hundred bucks.

Dean: They want more than this. Don't you see that? And all you are is this.
Luke: Rory was a kid, Dean. She grew up. She moved on. Accept it.
Dean: You accept it. This town, it's all you are, and it's not enough. She's going to get bored, and you can't take her anywhere. You're here forever.
Luke: It's different.
Dean: It's not different. You and me. Same thing.
