Episode Quotes
 
Paris: I don't know what anything means anymore. I mean, I can't even read my own handwriting. What does this say? The person who wrote this should be dressed in a clown suit stuffing bodies under their porch.
 
Emily: We intend to leave here completely different people.
Lorelai: Yes, I'm going to be Ted Nugent.
 
Rory: I’m not sure if there is an exact definition for what we are, but I do think it falls somewhere in the bizarro friends-ish realm. Come on, stay.
Paris: Okay. But if you’re doing all this so you can freeze my bra, I’ll kill you.
Rory: Duly noted.
 
Lorelai: It’s called Vicious Trollop.
Emily: Oh, stop it! Now why would you name a lipstick something like that?
Lorelai: ‘Cause ‘dirty whore’ was taken?
 
Emily: And I certainly don’t eat at bars. Hookers eat at bars.
Lorelai: Only if they can’t get a table.
