Episode Quotes
Rory: I have never seen Grandma so singularly obsessed about a piece of clothing.
Lorelai: Not since I wore my "Gas, Grass, Or Ass — No One Rides For Free" T-shirt to the Junior League spring tea.

Kirk: (to Dean and Rory) Pippi is a great making-out movie. It's better than 'Blood on the Highway' or 'That's My Daughter's Head'.

Dean: Wow! Cool special effects!
Rory: Yeah, but I don't think George Lucas will be shaking in his boots.

(about Pippi Longstocking)
Luke: What happened to her hair?
Lorelai: She's between stylists now. It's very awkward.



Episode Goofs
At the diner when Luke gives Lorelai her coffee to go, he places the cup down with the label facing Lorelai. In the next shot, the label is facing away from her.

After Lorelai finds out that she's not supposed to be tipping Luke, she says that she's been ripped off for 10 years. However, in "Written in the Stars" Luke says that they met eight years ago.



Cultural References
Lorelai: Can you de-Mensa that reference?

Mensa is an international organization of geniuses.

Episode Title: We Got Us a Pippi Virgin!

The episode title comes from Pippi Longstocking, a series of books by Astrid Lindgren that were later made into a movie.

Lorelai: Just hangin' out here with my close friend Tex Watson.

Tex Watson is one of the members of the infamous Manson family headed by Charles Manson.

Kirk: ...the first reel of the movie inexplicably caught fire earlier this evening.
Lorelai: That's what happens when Richard Pryor is your projectionist.

Comedian Richard Pryor sustained bad burns in 1980 after supposedly freebasing cocaine.

Zach: Yo, Kid Flash, slow down. I've got chops, but I'm not Les Paul.

Kid Flash is DC comic book character The Flash's sidekick. Les Paul is an innovator of the electric guitar.

Rory: It's like Rikers Island, except everyone drives a Jag.

Rikers Island is New York's largest prison located on a 415-acre area of land near the East River between Queens and the Bronx that houses over 15,000 felons.

(while discussing Emily's panic room)
Lorelai: Like Jodie Foster?

Actress Jodie Foster starred in the movie Panic Room which told the story of a woman who keeps herself and her daughter safe in a panic room when a group of thieves break into her home.

Lorelai: (to Luke) Bring us some coffee and I promise this grapefruit will be eaten. (to Rory) How long is my nose?

Lorelai is referring to Pinocchio whose nose would grow longer each time he told a lie.

(about the panic room)
Emily: It'll stop a 9-millimeter shell.
Lorelai: Handy for when Suge Knight comes for tea.

Suge Knight is a rapper who has been implicated in several high-profile murders including that of Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.

Lorelai: Cool, we have a short feature to start: "The Katzenjammer Kids Try to Sit on the Couch".

The Katzenjammer Kids is a newspaper comic strip that debuted in 1897.
