Episode Quotes
 
(to a mother at the SAT prep class)
Paris: She's got a C average which means she's either lazy or stupid. I can work with either. Frankly sometimes stupid is easier. I can scare the stupid out of you, but the lazy runs deep.
 
Rory: So Logan and I were on the couch...
Lorelai: Wah, wah, wah!
Rory: Chachi, right?
Lorelai: Proud!
 
Rory: Tell us more about this racquetball.
Michel: Well, it's very simple: A four walled room, a racquet and a rubber ball.
Lorelai: Get to the good part - what are the clothes like?
Rory: Can we wear cute outfits?
Michel: I do!
Lorelai: I think racquetball sounds great!
