Episode Quotes
 
(after Friday Night Dinner)
Rory: Grandma's mean.
Lorelai: If it flew, swam, or crawled on this earth, we just ate it.
 
Lorelai: Wow! My own cheesecake? No man's ever given me a whole cheesecake before.
Luke: You remember that.
 
Lorelai: It's bubbling and turning brown.
Luke: It's fine.
Lorelai: Well, what constitutes sticking?
Luke: You can't ruin it.
Lorelai: I can, I have powers. Once the Barefoot Contessa was making a soufflé and when it fell, she looked out the TV and said, "Gilmore, was that you?"
 
Emily: You two better be hungry when you get inside, or else!
Lorelai: Or else?
Rory: Sounds serious.
Lorelai: (referring to the kabobs) So, one more?
Rory: Well, two more at the most.
Lorelai: Yeah, 'cause she was really mad.
 
Dean: I don't belong here anymore...do I?
Rory: Dean, no. Don't go.
 
Lorelai: You're the perfect man.
Luke: Thank you.
Lorelai: I used to think it was Kelsey Grammer, but it's not. It's you.
Luke: Finally, I'm one-upping Grammer.
