Episode Quotes |
| |
Luke: Dating. It's a horror.
Lorelai: It's the only cure for the singleness thing, barring ordering a spouse off the internet.
Luke: If I had dated a lot, I'd still be single. I'd just have spent a lot of bad nights at Tony Roma's.
| Emily: I just found out that Sookie was pregnant!
Lorelai: Don't look at me, I had nothing to do with it.
| (while Lorelai is gardening)
Lorelai: Oh, it got my hand! It got my hand!
Rory: Shake it off. Shake it off.
Lorelai: Oh, it won't go! It won' t go!
Rory: Aah! You wiped it on my shirt.
Lorelai: It was a reflex.
Rory: To ruin my shirt?
| Lorelai: You've been stomping around, barking at people for days.
Luke: I have not.
Lorelai: Yes, Cujo, you have.
Luke: I always talk to people like that.
Lorelai: No, Benji, you don't.
Luke: I'll be fine tomorrow.
Lorelai: Really, Lassie? Why is that?
| Rory: What are you doing?
Lorelai: Well, I'm gardening.
Rory: What are you doing?
Lorelai: I'm gardening.
Rory: What are you doing?
Lorelai: Why don't you come over here and see, honey, since you seem so confused?
Rory: Oh, my God. You are gardening.
| Luke: Stop doing that
Lorelai: Doing what?
Luke: Looking at me!
Lorelai: Vain party, table for one!

Episode Goofs |
| |
When Lorelai is talking to Luke at his diner, she is wearing a red sweater vest over a white collared shirt. Everytime the shot cuts between her and Luke, the collar goes from being tucked under the vest to being untucked a few times.
| When Rory comes into her dorm room to answer the phone, she empties out the contents of her book bag, including her cell phone, on the desk. Later in the scene, Rory suggests that Paris call Jaime outside using her cell phone, which she pulls out of her emptied book bag, despite having left it on her desk.
| Emily is surprised to find out that Sookie's pregnant. But in "Those Are Strings, Pinnochio", Emily saw Sookie at Rory's graduation and she was obviously pregnant.
| At dinner, Trevor asks Rory if she has any siblings. Rory answers "no", but Rory does in fact have a sibling -- her half sister Gigi.
