Episode Quotes |

Lorelai: What about Paris? Does she ever sleep?
Rory: I think she periodically makes a whirring noise and then just shuts down.
| Rory: We're competing against the Michaelangelo of snow!
Lorelai: And we're "Ernest Builds a Snowman".
Rory: We shouldn't look at him anymore.
Lorelai: Heads down! Stay focused!
Rory: We can do this!
Lorelai: Absolutely!
(The head of their snowman falls off)
Rory: Let's get some coffee?
Lorelai: Right behind ya.
| Richard: Lorelai, this is just beautiful! It's like something out of Architectural Digest. You should be very proud.
Lorelai: Thanks, Dad!
Emily: Your dress needs pressing.
Lorelai: Thanks, Mom!
| Paris: Madeline's 500 words on test anxiety spends 400 of them arguing that stretch corduroy is the best material for low-rise jeans.
| Morey: Charlie Parker was late to everything.
Babette: Charlie Parker had more drugs in him than a Rite-Aid. Forget Charlie Parker.
| Sookie: Okay, now guys, look at the materials I gave you, and tell me if a guest asks you how the food's coming, what would be the appropriate Old English response? Rune!
Rune: Greetings!
Sookie: You just read the first thing on the list, didn't you?
| Emily: The man is so sensitive. He reads so much into every little perceived slight.
Lorelai: Yeah. I remember one time when I was a kid, Dad had put on some weight, and he bought a new suit to try to cover it up. And he wore it for us and he said, 'How do I look?' and I said, 'You look fat.' - but I guess that wasn't really a perceived slight … so, I'll think of another example.
| Lorelai: Hey mom, you didn't make it back to the room last night. Did you get lucky?
Emily: Could you be any cruder?
Lorelai: Yeah, I could be cruder. Hey mom, did you get lai -
Rory: Thanks for coming!
| Lorelai: People have too many things.
Rory: Says the woman with 40 pairs of shoes.
Lorelai: Thus proving my point.
| Jess: We should have eaten before we came.
Luke: Shh! And, yeah.
