(about Rory) It's not about what she would buy. I don't care if she buys a house or a boat or the elephant man's bones.

Lorelai

Paris: I don't know what to wear.
Rory: Ever?

Lorelai: Work.
Rory: Life.
Lorelai: Dig it man.
Rory: Peace out Humphrey.

Rory: (about Paris) She's going out on a date with Tristan.
Lorelai: How'd that happen?
Rory: I did a little matchmaking.
Lorelai: (in a Ricky Ricardo voice) Lucy, how many times have I told you not to butt into other people's business?
Rory: Never.
Lorelai: (normal voice) Good going.

Hi, for that much money you wake her up! You hire a singing telegram! Women jump out of cakes! People dress up like bankers and dance around with those toasters!

</i> Sookie

Sookie: (about Rory) Call her now. Ooh, page her, or page her and have her call my cell phone and we can sing the money song from 'Cabaret.' You be Liza, I'll be Joel.
Lorelai: I don't know.
Sookie: Hey I'm Joel.

Rory: Louis, I think this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship.
Tristan: (pause) Who's Louis?
Rory: Think about it.

Paris: God, this is so weird. I can't stop smiling.
Rory: Good, then it's a good time to talk about our over taxed peasants.
Paris: Oh, let them eat cake.

Louise: Those who simply wait for information to find them spend a lot of time sitting by the phone. Those who go out and find it themselves have something to say when it rings.
Rory: Nietzsche?
Louise: Dawson.
Rory: My next guess.

Lorelai: Mother, Grandma is a very old woman, I highly doubt that she's going to remember everything she ever bought you.
Emily: She will remember down to the very last shrimp fork and do you know why?
Lorelai: No. (to dogs) Do you guys know why?
Emily: Because she doesn't just give you a present, she 'gives' you a present and she tells you where to put it, how to use it, what it costs - for insurance purposes of course - and God forbid you should have a different opinion or you don't think it works in the space or you just get tired of waking up every morning with those horrifying animals staring at you!
Lorelai: (to the dogs) She's just upset.
Emily: Stop talking to the dogs!

Lorelai: Where's it going?
Emily: Third floor.
Lorelai: How about second floor?
Emily: Third floor.
Lorelai: How about first floor on a ladder?

Paris: I just wanted to tell you again that I had so much fun last night.
Tristan: Yeah, after five messages on my answering machine, I kinda got that impression.
