Episode Quotes
 
Lane: I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I've already figured out that our Spin cover should be against a bloodred backdrop with a skull hovering over us.
Lorelai: Oh, well, very Norman Rockwell.
 
Lorelai: How's your research coming along, Kirk?
Kirk: Good, although I got off to a slow start. I didn't realize Jesus wasn't in the Old Testament 'til I hit page 368.
 
Lorelai: I just thought of the perfect painting for Luke to be in. "Cranky Guy in Baseball Cap."
Rory: Was that Manet or Monet?
Lorelai: That was mustard on my hamburger and a side of fries, please.
Rory: She's the queen of segues.
Luke: She's the queen of something.
 
Sookie: Yours came out. How'd you get yours out?
Lorelai: I swallowed a map.
 
(to Sookie about the day Rory was born)
Lorelai: She was the most beautiful pink all over. She even smelled pink. That sounds weird. I can't describe it - that little, pink, baby smell. The first time her eyes focused on me and her little fingers reached out ... I was someone new. She had me.
 
Sookie: This is the position I'm going to be in for the baby. She wants me to get used to it.
Bruce: Less tearing this way.
Lorelai: Oh, smack that image right out of my head.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Lorelai: Oh, well, very Norman Rockwell.

Norman Rockwell was an early 20th century American painter. His works enjoy a broad popular appeal in the United States, due to his patriotic homespun images.
 
Lorelai: Well, look at you folding your laundry all haughty and powerful.
Rory: Bada-bing all over his nice ivy-league suit.

Rory is referring to a line from The Godfather: "You gotta get up close like this ... Bada-Bing! ... You blow their brains all over your nice Ivy League suit."
