Episode Quotes |
| |
Richard: (to Rory) Now, did anyone ever tell you to picture the audience in their underwear? Well, don't do it. I did it once and I had nightmares for a week. Bulgarians in Speedos.
| (during the Chilton Bicentennial ceremony)
Richard: It's quite a nice turnout you have here.
Lorelai: Yes, well, we're very proud of the number of people who have nothing to do on a Friday night.
Richard: Your mind never tires for a moment, does it?
Lorelai: It will once people start talking.
| (about Luke's new menu)
Lorelai: When I asked you to add chili-topped Pringles, you said no.
Luke: And I stand by that.
| Paris: I’m not going to Harvard. I got the tiny envelope, the one that reads, "Sorry, Paris. We’re not interested. Try again next year. Love, Harvard." And the thing that’s really funny here is, who in the world deserves to go to Harvard more than me? Have you seen how hard I’ve worked over these past four years? I mean, can anyone here believe that I’m not going to Harvard? I can’t. I’m not going to Harvard. I am not going to Harvard. I had sex, but I’m not going to Harvard.
