Mrs. Kim: Here.
Lorelai: Hi, Mrs. Kim. What's this?
Mrs. Kim: Open it.
Lorelai: It's a doorknob.
Mrs. Kim: Not just any doorknob. John Adams' doorknob. You are familiar with our second president, I assume?
Lorelai: Not personally.
Mrs. Kim: You're making a joke?
Lorelai: Little one.
Mrs. Kim: That's what I thought. Anyway, I'm glad to be here, and I wanted you to know that.
Lorelai: Hence the doorknob.

Lorelai: Perfect timing.You save me from a three-hour tour of the S.S. Lurk.
Rory: The what?
Lorelai: Uh, Kirk bought Luke's old boat.
Rory: Does he even have a driver's licence?
Lorelai: I don't think so.
Rory: Well, I'm staying out of the water.
Lorelai: [chuckles] Good kid.

Lorelai: So, what's this I hear about Kirk buying your boat?
Luke: Oh, well I just realized I was never gonna take that thing out. I mean, all that time I spent trying to fix it up... So I bought a new one.
Lorelai: When?
Luke: Today. Got the idea in my head a couple hours ago, went down to the shipyard in Bridgeport, and just did it.
Lorelai: You just bought a boat?
Luke: Yeah, and it's even bigger and better than the old one.It's got everything. It's got a little kitchen, a bathroom, even a place to sleep.
Lorelai: Wow.
Luke: Yeah, I'm gonna keep it in the marina. And then when April comes to visit in the summer, take it out on little trips, go away for a few weeks.
Lorelai: Luke, that sounds really nice.
Luke: Right?
Lorelai: God, I can't believe you bought a boat in a day. It used to take you a week to buy a t-shirt.
Luke: Yeah, well, things change.
