Episode Quotes
 
Lorelai: Ugh. There have been very few moments in my life where I have actually wished I had one of those enormous cream pies you can just smash in someone's face, but this is definitely one of them.
Jess: Well, now, that's not very neighborly.
 
Lorelai: Yeah, but Luke, he's new in town. He doesn't know his way around yet.
Luke: Way around what? This is Stars Hollow. You take three left turns and you're back in the center of town
 
Rory: (to Jess) It's Tuesday night in Stars Hollow. The 24-hour mini mart just closed 20 minutes ago.
 
Rory: Oh my God, I hate her.
Lorelai: Ah, me too.
Rory: You have no idea who I'm talking about.
Lorelai: Solidarity, sister.
 
Taylor: Have some respect. These boys have just completed the first leg of their outdoor survival training.
Luke: Meaning you had them sit under a tree and glue rocks together for two hours.
Taylor: You're a very jaded man, Luke. What happened to you as a child?
Luke: Some creepy guy in shorts and knee socks tried to sit me under a tree and glue rocks together for two hours.

Episode Title: Nick & Nora/Sid & Nancy

The episode title comes from Nick and Nora, the main characters of The Thin Man series, who would bicker at each other but still remained a happy couple.

Lorelai: Yes, I respect that, but what if he turns out to be Fredo?

In The Godfather, Fredo betrayed his family then was killed due to his betrayal.
 
Rory: Yeah, Riff, everything's fine.

In West Side Story, Riff was the leader of the Jets.
