Richard: Emily?
Emily: She's right. I don't know my daughter at all.
Emily: Lorelai, I just tried some of those hors d'oeurves. They're unbelievable. Who is your caterer?
Lorelai: Sookie.
Emily: What's a Sookie?
Lorelai: (pointing to Sookie) That's a Sookie.
Lorelai: You invited all these Chilton kids without even asking her.
Emily: They're her schoolmates. I assumed they were her friends.
Lorelai: Well, you know what they say when you assume things.
Emily: No, I don't, what do they say?
Lorelai: That -- you shouldn't.
Emily: Very clever.
Emily: You know, you could get a maid in here once a week to at least tidy the place up.
Lorelai: I like it cluttered.
Emily: You can't even find the bed.
Lorelai: Yes I can. It's the thing I crash into on the way to the closet.
Emily: Tomorrow our lawyer, Joseph Stanford, is coming by.
Lorelai: Ugh. Crazy Sissy's dad.

Lorelai: Mom, Sissy talked to her stuffed animals and they answered her.
Emily: Could you be serious? We're shopping for Rory.
Lorelai: No Mom, I'm shopping for Rory, you are shopping for your imaginary granddaughter, Barbara Hutton.
(Lorelai and Rory are in Lorelai's room in Emily's house)
Rory: I guess I should go downstairs and apologize to Grandma.
Lorelai: Oh, give it a minute...
Emily:(appearing in doorway) There you are!
Lorelai: She'll find us.
Emily: (About Rory) I spent days planning this party, making sure everything was perfect. Making sure the food, the music, the guests, everything was perfect. And she humiliated me in front of my friends.
Lorelai: You don't know her! You've never tried to know her! Like you never tried to know me!
Emily: Oh, you'd like to think that, wouldn't you? I know you perfectly. Do you think I sit going "Why does Lorelai do this? Or that? I don't know. She's such a mystery to me."
Lorelai: That's it. I give up.
Emily: Oh, if I had a dollar for every time you gave up-
Lorelai: (In tears) You could pay for this party, couldn't you?
If I wanted to talk to a machine, I'd talk to my VCR.
Emily: A funeral? Whose?
Lorelai: It was for the neighbors', uh, cat. (silence) Mom?
Emily: Hold on. I'm looking up "aneurysm" in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one.
(Emily on the phone with Lorelai after finding out that Lorelai attended a cat's wake instead of her unknown cousin's funeral)
Lorelai: It's late, I have a big day tomorrow.
Emily: You're going to a raccoon's wedding?
Emily: So you're not going?
Lorelai: Not this time.
Emily: I don't think Claudia's planning to die a second time.
