Lorelai: Hey, tomorrow, if you have time, I'm planning on despising everyone who says, "Hey, how's it going?".
Luke: You're on.
(A woman enters Luke's)
Woman: Hey, how's it going?
Lorelai: (to herself) Oh, now that's just too easy.
Luke: Rachel!
Lorelai: (to Luke) Your Rachel? (to Rachel) You're Rachel?
| Luke: No, I believe you. If you say there's no reason for the mood, then there's no reason for the mood. You're simply nuts.
Lorelai: Or bipolar. That's very big nowadays.
| Rory: I had no idea that three months was the car anniversary.
Dean: Four months you get a plane.
Rory: Boy, relationships sure have changed since I was a kid.
| Rory: You brought me to Beirut?
Dean: It's a salvage yard.
Rory: Ah. And yet it looks so much like Beirut.
| Taylor: This festival is commemorating the founding of our town, young lady.
Lorelai: I know Taylor. I'm sorry.
Luke: She's bipolar.
Miss Patty: Really? But you're so young.
| Rachel: So since we're both being blunt, what's the deal with Lorelai?
Luke: What are you talking about?
Rachel: I'm talking about Lorelai, the lady who runs the inn, the one you've told me absolutely nothing about, and been very careful to leave out of every story, anecdote, or gossip about the town.
Luke: There is no deal with Lorelai. We're friends.
Rachel: For now?
Luke: Yes.
Rachel: And in the future?
Luke: Well, Lorelai is, she's just uh…I don't know. I mean, at time it seems like, I don't know.
| Lorelai: I miss Max.
Rory: I know.
Lorelai: I had a dream about him the other night.
Rory: Really? Dirty?
Lorelai: No, absolutely not. And when you're 21, I'll tell you the real answer.
| Lorelai: So, where's Rachel?
Luke: She's a founder's party punch junkie.
Lorelai: God, even the nice girls aren't safe.
