Episode Quotes
Emily: I am going to Europe, Richard. I am going to Europe, and I'm going to have a marvelous time. I'm going to get up at 10:00, and I'm going to have two glasses of wine at lunch every single day.
Richard: Only prostitutes have two glasses of wine at lunch.
Emily: Well, then buy me a boa and drive me to Reno because I am open for business.

Sookie: I'm so happy!
Lorelai: I'm so glad you're so happy! Is this is a normal happy or was there cooking sherry involved?

Rory: We need a song. A song that will be ours so we can always remember this moment.
Dean: Oh, trust me, I'll always remember this.

Lane: Where did you do it the second time?
Rory: Miss Patty's
Lane: You did it at Miss Patty's?
Rory: Yeah.
Lane: She would be so proud.

Michel: (about Taylor) That man is why mail-order brides were invented.

Lorelai: You and me, we kissed?
Luke: I remember.
Lorelai: And it was ... unexpected.
Luke: Lorelai, relax. I'm fine if you want to just forget it ever happened, really.
Lorelai: No, I don't want to forget it ever happened. It was a great kiss.
Luke: Yeah?
Lorelai: If one of us had been a frog, it would have had some seriously impressive consequences.

(while talking about Rory and Dean sleeping together)
Rory: Why are you whispering?
Lane: Because I just think that no matter where she is, my mom can hear this conversation.

Emily: Lorelai, Rory, Richard and I have separated.
Lorelai: And?
Emily: What do you mean "and"? That's not enough? You need some sort of mob-related offing to make it interesting?

Lorelai: So, where are you right now?
Luke: About 10 minutes from "if I lived here, I'd blow my brains out."
