Episode Quotes
Luke: Where's the stuff?
Lorelai: What stuff?
Luke: The party stuff.
Lorelai: Oh my God I left the circus elephants in my car and I didn't crack a window.

Lorelai: All right, everybody! Line up single-file behind us.
April: Oh, we already went to the bathroom.
Lorelai: Oh, I know. This is going to be so much better.

Anna: I can't believe you did this, Luke. You said you wanted to throw her a party. YOU.
Luke: Yeah, I did. I threw her a party.
Anna: No. You had your girlfriend throw her a party. A girlfriend I don't know, a girlfriend I've never even met!

Lorelai: But Luke and I are getting married.
Anna: You're engaged. People get engaged all the time.

Lorelai: You didn't plan any activities? It's a birthday party,
Luke: I thought that was the activity.

April: So, you have a daughter, right?
Lorelai: Yes. Rory.
April: That's good. You'd be, like, totally wasted on a son.



Episode Goofs
When Lorelai and Sookie are talking in the kitchen, the bowl of tomatoes appears and disappears behind Sookie.

In the scene where Rory is talking to Honor, the motorbikes behind Honor change positions between shots. The red scooter on the right changes to the left and back again.



Cultural References
Lorelai: It's like betting on Secretariat.

Secretariat is a racehorse that won the Triple Crown in 1973.

Anna: They're beginning to call you Hagrid.

In the Harry Potter series of books, Hagrid is the friendly half-giant that Harry becomes friends with.

Lorelai: And yes, that is the guy from Two and a Half Men. All right, enjoy.

The movie that Lorelai puts on for the girls is the 1980s hit Pretty in Pink. The movie stars Jon Cryer, who currently stars in Two and a Half Men, as Ducky.



Analysis
Paris and Rory

This episode is a great example of Paris and Rory’s relationship. Though they were originally enemies, this episode shows how their relationship has developed from the first season into the best friends they’ve become. Though Rory isn’t able to get the doctors to give her information about Logan’s condition, Paris is able to come through for Rory and get the information on Logan’s condition for her.
