Episode Notes |
| |
Every scene at Yale is filmed on the set which specifically built to replicate actual locations at Yale University in Connecticut.
| Rory's dorm suite is actually twice as big as any dorm at Yale in order for the cameras to be able to get the shots necessary.
| It took $650,000 to build the set Gilmore Girls uses for shots at Yale.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Paris: So do you like your adoptive parents?
Tanna: Yeah.
Paris: I think it's good to be adopted. If you get sick of them, you can just dump this set and go find the originals.
| Lorelai: This parent orientation I went to is a non-stop litany of the horrors of meeting college freshmen. You're supposed to carry a whistle, a flashlight, a crucifix, and a loaded Glock with you at all times.
| (in French accents)
Lorelai: That'll get the girls talking. We'll be those dirty, filthy, almost-French Stars Hollow girls. Oh, we spit on you, you repressed puritanical ninnies.
Rory: We smirk in your general direction.
Lorelai: We cast sidelong glances that are vague but slightly threatening.
Rory: We eschew your quaint double entendre for the appealing lasciviousness of the entendre singular.
Lorelai: We ... eh ... I'm out.
| Rory: Everything's so foreign. I have to share a bathroom. I've never shared a bathroom with anyone but you. So I'm gonna be running into people in the bathroom, we're gonna have to make small talk. I don't know any bathroom small talk.
Lorelai: Um ... gee, your hair smells terrific?
| Luke: A shift diagram for the truck, nice and simple. "D" is for drive, "R" is for --
Lorelai: The "R" in drive!
Luke: "R" is for reverse.
Lorelai: Right, reverse.
Luke: And "1" is --
Lorelai: The loneliest number that you'll ever know!
| Rory: Say something to make me hate you.
Lorelai: Go Hitler?
| Lorelai: I can't take the mattress.
Luke: Then you can't have the truck.
Lorelai: And that sticks you with the mattress.
Luke: We've been here before.
Lorelai: I recognize that tree.
