  • Luke Danes: How many cups have you had this morning?
  • Lorelai: None.
  • Luke Danes: Plus?

  • Luke Danes: Junkie.
  • Lorelai: Angel. You've got wings, baby.
  • Rory: You're happy.
  • Lorelai: Yeah.
  • Rory: [suspiciously] Did you do something slutty?
  • Lorelai: I'm not that happy.
  • Lorelai: [Michel is ignoring the phone] Michel, the phone.
  • Michel: Mmm-hmm. It rings.
  • Lorelai: Can you answer it?
  • Michel: No, people are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to anymore of them.
  • Lorelai: You know who's really nice to talk to? The people at the unemployment agency.
  • Michel: [He pickes up the phone] Independence Inn, Michel speaking.
  • [pause]
  • Michel: No, I'm sorry, we're completely booked.
  • Lorelai: You really like my table, don't you?
  • Joey: I was just... uh
  • Lorelai: Getting to know my daughter.
  • Joey: Your...
  • Rory: Are you my new daddy?
  • Joey: Wow. You do not look old enough to have a daughter. No, I mean it. And-and-and you do not look like a daughter.
  • Lorelai: That's possibly very sweet of you. Thanks.
  • Joey: So. Daughter. You know, I am traveling with a friend.
  • Lorelai: She's sixteen.
  • Joey: Bye.
  • Lorelai: So who is he?
  • Rory: There's no guy.
  • Lorelai: Dark hair, romantic eyes, looks a little dangerous?
  • Rory: This conversation is over.
  • Lorelai: Tattoos are good too.
  • Rory: I don't wanna change school because of all the reasons I've already told you a thousand times. If you don't wanna believe me, that's fine. Goodnight.
  • Lorelai: Does he have a motorcycle? 'Cause if you're gonna throw your life away he'd better have a motorcycle!
  • Lorelai: [after leaving Emily and Richard's house] Do I look shorter? 'Cause I feel shorter.
  • Rory: Hey, how about I buy you a cup of coffee?
  • Lorelai: Oh yeah. You drive though. OK? 'Cause I don't think my feet will reach the pedals.
  • Lorelai: What do you need? Hot tea, coffee?
  • Rory: Lip gloss.
  • Lorelai: Aha.
  • [Opens her purse]
  • Lorelai: I have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and toasted marshmallow.
  • Rory: Anything in there not resembling a breakfast cereal?
  • Lorelai: Yes.
  • [pulls out another bag]
  • Lorelai: It has no smell but it changes colors with your mood.
  • Emily: You took that girl and completely shut us out of your life.
  • Lorelai: You wanted to control me.
  • Emily: You were still a child.
  • Lorelai: I stopped being a child the minute the strip turned pink, okay? I had to figure out how to live. I found a good job.
  • Emily: As a maid. With all your brains and talent.
  • Lorelai: I worked my way up. I run the place now. I built a life on my own with no help from anyone.
  • Emily: Yes, and think of where you would have been if you'd accepted a little help, hmm? And where Rory would have been. But no, you were always too proud to accept anything from anyone.
  • Lorelai: Well, I wasn't too proud to come here to you two begging for money for my kid's school, was I?
  • Emily: No, you certainly weren't. But you're too proud to let her know where you got it from, aren't you? Well, fine, you have your precious pride and I have my weekly dinners. Isn't that nice? We both win.
