Episode Quotes
 
Jess: If a horse-drawn carriage shows up here, my throwing up will be eternal.
 
Lorelai: He decided the golf theme was dull. And he doesn't want to be remembered as dull.
Michel: Would he like to be remembered as limping? Because I can be a fabulous help with that.
 
Lorelai: Tell Sherry to keep her legs crossed ‘til I get there.
Rory: Does that work?
Lorelai: No. Bye.
 
Emily: I’m not an invalid, Lorelai.
Lorelai: Well, of course you are, Mother. Why else would I suggest a DVD player?
 
Emily: Lorelai, you're having a baby!
Lorelai: Well, that explains the stomachache.
 
Michel: Here’s an idea – it’s a retirement party, yes? Okay. So what happens after you retire? You die. So, why don’t we dig a big hole, throw him in, hand everybody a shovel, they take turns covering him up. We go inside, have dinner, the wife gets used to eating alone.
 
Lorelai: And the second thing is, you need to tell me why you’re sitting like that.
Sherry: Maureen told me that Howard Stern said that if you squat, it makes the baby come out faster.
Lorelai: Okay, as long as you have a sane reason from a reliable source.
