Michel: That wouldn't be at all eccentric.
 
Rory: I got home from this awful setup.
Lane: The guy your grandmother brought by?
Rory: That's the one.
Lane: He was that bad?
Rory: James Spader in Pretty in Pink.

Lorelai: It was a slow dance - a waltz. Luke can waltz.
Rory: Luke can waltz?
Lorelai: Luke can waltz.
Rory: Look how you just said "Luke can waltz."
Lorelai: What, I'm just saying, I'm surprised that Luke can waltz.
Rory: That sounded more like, "I'm surprised I still have my clothes on."
 
Rory: I can't believe you didn't wake me up.
Lorelai: Me and what army?
 
Lorelai: Tom, I'm loving you like a two dollar whore.
Tom: Terrific. I'll tell the wife.

Rory: Stop it!
Lorelai: Rory!
Rory: I hate you for ruining this for me!
 
Lorelai: You gave me space? We broke up.

  Episode Goofs  
At the diner, Luke pours Lorelai and Rory's coffee. Luke stops pouring, but the pouring noise continues.

  Cultural References  
Rory: What's your damage, Heather?

The 1989 movie Heathers follows cliques of mean high school girls, three of which are named Heather.
 
Taylor: It's the details that distinguish the Barbra Streisand's from the Roslyn Kind's.

Barbra Streisand is a well-known singer and actress. Roslyn Kind, Streisand's half-sister, is an actress who hasn't achieved the same degree of stardom as her half-sibling.
 
Rory: Well, who died and made you Hayley Mills?

Hayley Mills starred as identical twins in the 1961 version of The Parent Trap, the movie in which her characters plot to reunite their divorced parents, much like Lorelai is attempting to do with Emily and Richard.
 
Lorelai: (about Jason)No, Mom, he doesn't have a room. He just showed up because apparently it's Blake Edward's night at the Dragonfly.

Blake Edwards is a filmmaker best known for slapstick comedies The Great Race, Blind Date, and and the Pink Panther series.
 
  Episode References  
Rory: (to Lorelai) I'm sorry I didn't talk to you about it first. I know I promised I would.

Rory is referring to "Swan Song" in which she promises Lorelai that she will talk to her about having sex before it happens.
