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.

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.

(about the panic room)
