(to Rory) Oh, you're not gonna give me the 'Mommie Dearest' treatment forever, are you?

Emily: As a maid! With all your brains and talent!

Emily: Ah.

Rory: We are?
Lorelai: Mmhmm.
Rory: But it's September.
Lorelai: So?
Rory: So what holiday's in September?
Lorelai: Look, it's not a holiday thing. It's just dinner, okay?
Rory: Fine, sorry.
Rory: I don't want to talk about this. Could you please, please just leave me alone?
Lorelai: Okay, fine. We always had a democracy in this house. We never did anything unless we both agreed. But now I guess I'm going to have to play the mom card. You are going to Chilton whether you want to or not. Monday morning, you will be there, end of story.
Rory: We'll see.
Lorelai: Yeah, we will!
Lorelai: (speaking to Luke) Wow, you look nice. Really nice.

Emily: Old.
Lorelai: Well... good.
(Lorelai and Emily sit, opposite to each other)
Emily: You said you were taking a business class?
Lorelai: Yeah, mmhmm, yeah. I'm taking a business class at the college twice a week. I'm sure I told you.
