Richard corners Rory at a family dinner and persuades her to accompany him on a visit to Yale University, his alma mater. Although Rory has her heart set on going to Harvard, she reluctantly accepts the invitation, and the trip becomes a family affair when Emily and Lorelai tag along. Once they arrive on campus, however, Rory is infuriated to learn that she has an appointment with the dean of admissions. Meanwhile, back in Stars Hollow, Luke lays down the law to Jess about his relationship with Rory.

Episode Quotes |

Rory: Why'd you turn the car off?
Lorelai: I’m just getting the sense that I shouldn’t be driving a large vehicle when you tell me this. | Jess: You sure you don’t want a soda?
Rory: Yeah, I’m sure.
Jess: Please let me get you a soda. I gotta do something other than stand here like a moron. | Rory: Are you going to talk to him?
Lorelai: I'll at least match him grunt for grunt.
Rory: Okay. Now, let’s say he’s in the house and there’s a fire, and you can either save him or your shoes – which is it?
Lorelai: That depends – did he start the fire? |

Lorelai: Meet George Michael.
Singer George Michael was arrested in 1998 for "engaging in a lewd act" in a public restroom in a Beverly Hills city park. | Emily: The situation's that dire?

The line "Your money for nothing and your chicks for free" is from the Dire Straits song, "Money for Nothing". | Lorelai: We're lucky it wasn't snowing. It would've been the Donner Party all over again, but with slightly better hair.
