- Christopher Hayden: [Unexpectedly shows up at Emily's house unannounced] Lor, I need to talk to you.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Chris, what are you doing here?
- Christopher Hayden: You won't return my calls!
- Lorelai Gilmore: [to Emily] Did you do this?
- Christopher Hayden: I needed to be here.
- Emily Gilmore: I did not do this.
- Christopher Hayden: You gave me no choice.
- Lorelai Gilmore: [to Emily] After I told you to just stay out of it?
- Emily Gilmore: [Swearing] Lorelai, I did not do this!
- Lorelai Gilmore: You got to go.
- Christopher Hayden: I'm not going until you talk to me.
- Emily Gilmore: Christopher, Lorelai, come back here!
- Christopher Hayden: Why won't you call me back?
- Lorelai Gilmore: There could've been a worst time to have this conversation.
- Christopher Hayden: Really, because this seems to be the only time to have this conversation.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Look, go home, okay? I promise I'll talk to you tomorrow.
- Christopher Hayden: Well, sure, I believe that.
- Lorelai Gilmore: I never lie to you. There's no reason to doubt my word.
- Christopher Hayden: Really, 45 unreturned phone calls isn't a reason?
- Lorelai Gilmore: No, it isn't.
- Christopher Hayden: You shutting me out like this is wrong.
- Lorelai Gilmore: I'm not discussing this with you here in my mother's house.
- Christopher Hayden: You don't get to dictate this. I need to talk to you, you won't call me back, and I did what I had to do, and I'm sorry, but after all we've been through, especially over these past few months, you shutting me out is wrong. And you know what hits me the hardest, Lor?
- Lorelai Gilmore: Apparently it isn't the door on your way out.
- Christopher Hayden: You keeping Rory from me.
- Lorelai Gilmore: What?
- Christopher Hayden: I never ever saw you do that.
- Lorelai Gilmore: I'm not keeping Rory from you!
- Christopher Hayden: Oh really? Then why didn't she call me back, huh? I mean no matter where you and I have been in our lives, my daughter has always called me back until now.
- Rory Gilmore: I didn't call you back because I didn't want to. Me? Mom had nothing to do with it. You promised me. You promised me at Sookie's wedding that this was going to work, that you're going to be there. You promised me.
- Christopher Hayden: Honey, please understand.
- Rory Gilmore: No, I always understand. And I don't want to understand. I even really don't want to talk about this right now. I've got mom, that's all I need. Go be somebody else's dad.
- Christopher Hayden: Don't say that.
- Rory Gilmore: I'm going upstairs. Call me when he's gone.
- [Runs upstairs]
- Christopher Hayden: She did not get there by herself.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Hey, have you ever met your daughter? She can get anywhere by herself. She can get into the third dimension by herself. She was helping the crossing guard when she was 4.
- Christopher Hayden: I'm going to talk to her.
- Lorelai Gilmore: No, you're not. She wants to be alone and cool off. Respect that! I'll talk to her later.
- Christopher Hayden: You'll talk to her? Great, that makes me feel a whole lot better.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Ok, you need to leave, right now!
