  Episode Quotes  
Luke: I’ve got to get a new pair of pants.
Lorelai: Okay. That didn’t exactly follow.
Luke: You know, for the party they’re going to throw you.
Lorelai: You don’t need new pants. You just need pants. And the party’s in New York, so you may not even need pants.
 
Lorelai: I love ranting Luke.
Luke: Why does this song keep playing?
Lorelai: Because I put the CD player on repeat with my fancy remote in my fancy limo. Hey, do a limo rant. I bet that’s a good one.
Luke: No, that’s right, they sent you a limo. You deserve it.
Lorelai: And it enabled us to drink and not drive.
Luke: That’s good too.
 
Lorelai: I think I might be pregnant.
Rory: Oh . . . wow.
Lorelai: I just ate an apple.
Rory: Oh.
Lorelai: And liked it.
Rory: Whoa.
 
Rory: Hey, um, did you ever mention this pregnancy scare to Luke?
Lorelai: My God, no. Can you imagine? "Uh, Luke, you’re going to be a daddy". Suddenly there’s nothing left but a puff of smoke and a baseball cap spinning on the floor.
 
  Episode Goofs  
Lorelai claims that she hasn't eaten an apple since she was pregnant with Rory. However, in "Rory's Birthday Parties", Lorelai eats an apple while she is on the phone with Emily.
 
When Mitchum Huntzberger is giving Rory her evaluation, the door to the left of them goes from being open, to shut, to back open between shots.
 
In the limo, Luke claims that he hasn't gotten drunk in years. However, in "You Jump, I Jump, Jack" Luke gets drunk while he's at the club with Richard and in "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels", Luke got drunk after a fight with Jess.
 
  Cultural References  
Episode Title: Blame Booze And Melville

The "Melville" part episode title is a possible reference to two things: Melville is Jackson's last name or it could refer to Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, who is blamed for Rory stealing the boat.
 
Lorelai: Whatever Pola wants, Pola gets.

This is a take on the song from the musical Damn Yankees entitled "Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets".
 
Lorelai: Mom, it was meant as a joke! The Pol Pot, the walking anthrax. I was just being edgy, like Chris Rock!

Pol Pot was the Prime Minister of Cambodia from 1976 to 1979 and blamed for the deaths of over 2 million. Chris Rock is a popular comedian and creator of the sitcom Everybody Hates Chris.
 
Rory: It’s like one of those phrases, like "Drop It Like It’s Hot" that I really wish I’d never heard.

"Drop It Like It's Hot" is a song by Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams.
 
Kirk: Mm. An oral agreement’s only as good as the paper it’s written on. Hey, that would be a good line for Dennis the Menace after he fails to mow Mr. Wilson’s lawn. I should send that in.

Dennis the Menace is a television show of a precocious little boy and his neighbors, the Wilsons.
 
Lorelai: Imperialist propaganda.
Rory: I think Noam Chomsky would agree.

Noam Chomsky is a political analyst and often criticizes US foreign policy.
