Series recurring guest star Jackson Douglas (Jackson Melville) steps behind the camera to direct this episode.

Lorelai: So, what's going on? I thought it was an all-Logan week.
Rory: It was.
Lorelai: Was?
Rory: Boys suck!
Lorelai: Oh, hon.
Rory: They totally suck!
Lorelai: Sometimes they do.
Rory: Tell me it gets better when they get older.
Lorelai: It gets better when they get older.
Rory: It does?
Lorelai: Well, it gets more confusing, more complicated and more complex. Does any of that sounds better?
Rory: No.

Emily: I've come to talk to you about your marriage.
Lorelai: My marriage?
Emily: Yes. I'm concerned. I don't like what I'm seeing and I've come to offer you some friendly advice.
Lorelai: Mom, I really don't want your advice.
Emily: Well, then, consider it unfriendly advice. Christopher is immature, often foolish, and a little lacking in common sense. He doesn't always make the best choices.
Lorelai: Like with me, Mom? Are you saying he chose wrongly in choosing me?
Emily: I'm saying he's your husband, Lorelai, for better or for worse. I like Christopher.
Lorelai: Okay.
Emily: I think he's good for you. But it's not going to be perfect. He's not perfect, and God knows you're not perfect. But marriage is not about always being happy, and often it's about not being happy at all. It's about compromise, which is not you strong suit. Marriage is about swallowing your pride sometimes, about doing what he wants. It's not always about winning an argument, which may make you sad because that's what you love, but....I just don't want to see you ruin this. Marriage is serious business, Lorelai, and if you don't take this very seriously, then this whole thing is going to fall apart faster than you could possibly imagine. Then he'll be gone, and you'll be alone again. A ring is no guarantee.

Kirk: I think it's safe to say they won't be getting that new gym anytime soon.
Luke: You must be proud.
Kirk: I am.

Liz: She's been attached to my boob for 2 weeks, and T.J.'s finally decided to get a work ethic.

Lorelai: She looks just like T.J.
Luke: And hopefully she'll grow out of that.

Lorelai: That diner guy?!
Christopher: I'm sorry, should I be showing more respect to a guy that punched me in the face?

Emily: I have the most exciting news!
Lorelai: You're cancelling my wedding party?
Emily: I caught Randell Farber as your party planner.
Lorelai: So he's cancelling my wedding party?

(on their cell phones)
Rory: How goes the party planning?
Lorelai: What? What happened!?
Rory: That good, huh?
Lorelai: Is he okay!?
Rory: I'm not participating in this.
Lorelai: Oh my God! What can I do? What do you need!?
Rory: You're not using this phone call to get out of party planning help.
Lorelai: I'll be right there.
Rory: Mom!
Emily: I can hear Rory on the other end Lorelai. You're not as clever as you think you are.
Lorelai: Drat!

(to Christopher while grocery shopping)
Lorelai: Avoid the words "Made with real vegetables".

During the party planning, Lorelai makes a reference to the musical Rent and says that it takes place in 1985. However, Rent is set in 1989.

Lucy: Congratulations on buying the internet or whatever.
Logan: Thank you, although Al Gore and I are still negotiating, so it's not a done deal yet.

During the 2000 Presidential campaign, Gore made a comment that he helped create the Internet. There after, Gore's comment has become one of the most infamous quotes from the former Vice President.

Lorelai: It's going to be Burt Bacharach and nothing but.

Burt Bacharach is an award winning musician popular in the pop-scene in the mid-1960s.

Emily: She's a senior at Yale
Randall: Fantastic theater program! Meryl, Jodie.

Oscar Award winning actresses Meryl Streep and Jodie Foster are both Yale graduates.
