  Episode Quotes  
Rory: I guess his dad called and wants to take us out to a birthday dinner tonight.
Lorelai: That sounds like a load of laughs.
Rory: Yeah, Mitchum. That man is fundamentally incapable of making me feel anything but small and awful.
Lorelai: Now that’s not true. He’s made you feel incompetent, too.
 
Rory: So, who else knows?
Lorelai: Nobody. That’s it. Well, you and the Quickie Mart guy.
Rory: You told the Quickie Mart guy?
Lorelai: I was upset. I was standing by the magazines. I didn't want him to think I was verklempt over Nicole Richie.
 
Emily: (about Richard) The doctor said there's no reason he can't go back to his normal routine, as long as he doesn't do anything too strenuous--and it's not as if sitting down and eating dinner with one's family requires a great deal of effort.
Lorelai: Well, you're right.
 
Logan: So somebody’s pretty into this whole birthday thing.
Rory: Well if by "birthday thing," you mean the celebration of the miracle of your birth, the anniversary of the day when this world went from being a world without Logan Huntzberger to a world with Logan Huntzberger, then, yes, I'm pretty into it.
Logan: You really love me, don't you?
Rory: Well, you're okay.
 
Lorelai: I come bearing drugs.
Emily: Please don’t bellow that.
Lorelai: Bellow what? (louder) Drugs?!
 
Logan: It's okay. You know, it just happened okay. You got Huntzburgered. That’s what my dad does to people. He's a master manipulator. You sit down with him, and you have your own opinions, but by the time you stand up, you hear yourself agreeing with him. And you stagger away confused and slightly queasy.

Lorelai: This house is a giant Skinner box with Chippendale chairs.

B. F. Skinner was a psychologist who focused on the field of behavioral psychology. He often used operant conditioning chambers and performed his experiments with rats. A Chippendale chair is piece of furniture made by Thomas Chippendale.
 
Lorelai: I was upset. I was standing by the magazines. I didn't want him to think I was verklempt over Nicole Richie.
