  Episode Quotes  
Lorelai: You smell as good as you look.
Christopher: I haven't showered since Seattle.
Lorelai: Really? Well, I'm hot.
 
Sookie: I don't know why I'm getting so nutty about this, I mean I hear myself getting nutty and I know that there's no one coming for lunch and I know that Norman Mailer's not responsible for no one coming for lunch and I tell myself it's just temporary, that there's still dinner and breakfast and that's good and I can do a lot with that, and I try to calm myself down and that just only seems to make me crazier, and all I want to do is cry and scream and oh . . . my God, I'm pregnant!
 
Lorelai: Come on Kirk. And I'm sorry but why a hotdog? The Dragonfly doesn't serve hotdogs.
Kirk: Well the quiche made me look fat.
 
Christopher: I can’t do this.
Lorelai: What, shower? Oh, you’ve done it before. Just turn the water on, step in. Oh wait, remove clothes, then step in.
Christopher: I can’t raise her. I cannot raise her all by myself.
Lorelai: Yes you can.
Christopher: What makes you think so?
Lorelai: Because you have to. Chris, she’s your daughter, and you’re going to find a way. I did. I did it with Rory.
Christopher: You’re different.
Lorelai: Yes, I was sixteen.
