Sookie: Where's your pate?
Lorelai: At Zsa-Zsa's Gabor's house?
Sookie: Right. I'm going to the store because you have nothing. You like duck?
Lorelai: OOooohhh, if it's made with chicken, absolutely!

(wrestling large, cumbersome harp through crowded lobby)
Drella: Aw, that's it, lady, tie your shoe NOW... Yeah, d-don't... don't worry, I'll wait!
Lorelai: Hi, Drella. hi... I was just wondering, ummmm... could you be, ahhh... nicer to the guests?
Drella: Oh, ah... um, I'm sorry, did you not want a harp player?
Lorelai: Yes, I did.
Drella: Did you not want a great harp player?
Lorelai: (sighs) Yes, I did.
Drella: OK... I am a great harp player... and this, is my great harp, 'kay?... So, if you're looking for someone to just be nice to the guests, get a harmonica player, maybe some guy who whistles through his nose, okay? Capisce?

Lorelai: (holding up a coffee cup) What? It's not for me. It's for Rory, I swear.
Luke: You're shameless.
Lorelai: Look, Officer Krupke, she's right at that table right over there.

Dean: My family just moved here from Chicago.
Rory: Chicago? Windy. Oprah.

Mrs. Kim: So, how was school? None of the girls get pregnant, drop out?
Lane: Not that we know of.
Rory: Though come to think of it, Joanna Posner was glowing a little.
Mrs. Kim: What?
Lane: Nothing, Mama. She's just kidding.
Mrs. Kim: Boys don't like funny girls.
Rory: Noted.

Lorelai: It's here. It happened. She did it.
Sookie: Okay, I'm gonna need a little bit longer sentence.

(Four girls pass nail polish around Rory, who writes in a notebook)
Girl #1: Maybe it's a love letter.
Girl #2: Or a diary.
Girl #3: I bet it's a Slam Book.
(Girl peeks over Rory's shoulder)
Girl #4: It's the assignment!

(to Sookie about Rory) This is it. She can finally go to Harvard like she's always wanted, and get the education that I never got, and get to do all the things that I never got to do. And then I can resent her for it, and we can finally have a normal mother-daughter relationship.

Lorelai

Rory: When are you going to let your parents know that you listen to the evil rock music? You're an American teenager, for God's sake.
Lane: Rory, if my parents still get upset over the obscene portion size of American food, I seriously doubt I'm gonna make any inroads with Eminem.

Lorelai: Is something burning?
Sookie: My bangs earlier. Go on, go on, go on.

Emily: Well, let's sit everyone. This is just wonderful. An education is the most important thing in the world, next to family.
Lorelai: And pie. (silence) Joke, joke.

Lorelai: So tell me about the guy.
Rory: Check, please.
Lorelai: No, really, are you embarrassed to bring him home?
Rory: I'm not embarrassed.
Lorelai: Does he talk at all?
Rory: No, Mom, he's a mime.

(Lorelai and Emily sit, opposite to each other)

Lorelai: (to Rory) Behold the healing powers of a bath.
