Episode Quotes |
| |
Lorelai: My mother - she was here. I can feel it. Smell that? The room smells like guilt and Chanel No. 5.
| Lorelai: And take heart in knowing that when it comes to controlling a person, my mother targeted my soul, my independence, and my entire future, and at least with you, she threw in an ottoman.
| Girl: So girls go on adventures, too?
Lorelai: And they go in heels.
| Lane: Well, I wore a bracelet to school today. My parents were called. There was a special service in chapel, and I've been ordered to a soul-searching seminar next week. I'll be sitting between the nail-polish-wearing girl and the spicy condiment user.
| Sookie: I heckle. I have no desire to play with them. Easter egg hunts bore me. I have never borrowed the neighbor's kid to look after for the afternoon.
Lorelai: Good. That's called kidnapping.
| Lorelai: In the movie, only boy hobbits travel to Mount Doom, but that's only because the girls went to do something even more dangerous.
Girl: What?
Lorelai: Have you ever heard of a Brazilian bikini wax?
| Rory: Her name's Janet.
Lorelai: What's she like?
Rory: She jogs.
Lorelai: Enough said.
