Luke: Coffee, and fries (looks at Rory as she's sipping her coffee). I can't stand it. This is so unhealthy. Rory, please. Put down that cup of coffee. You do not want to grow up to be like your mom.
Rory: Sorry, too late.

Lorelai: What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
Sookie: You can have anything I own. My car! Sell my car!
Lorelai: Oh, sweetie, no one wants your car.
Sookie: Yeah.

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: Oh. Oh, I forgot to tell you, we're having dinner with your grandparents tomorrow night.
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: Sookie, I'm going to Chilton!
(Rory and Sookie hug.)
Sookie: I'll make cookies. Protestants love oatmeal.
Rory: I have to call Lane.
(Rory starts to leave but turns to hug Lorelai again.)
Rory: I love you.
Lorelai: I love you.
(Rory rushes out.)
Lorelai: My girl's going to Chilton.

Emily: Mmm. 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. (her parents stare at her) Joke...Joke.
Emily: Ah.

Rory: How many meals is it gonna take 'til we're off the hook?
Lorelai: I think the deli spread at my funeral will be the last one.

(seeing Lorelai's coffee cup) Is that a collector's cup, or can I throw it away for you?

Emily

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

Lorelai

Lorelai: Rory. You've always been the sensible one in this house, huh? I need you to remember that feeling now. You will kick your own butt later if you blow this.
Rory: Well, it's my butt.
Lorelai: Good comeback.
Rory: Thank you.

(to Rory, who doesn't want to go to Chilton because of a boy at her current school) You tell me all about the guy, and I promise not to let my head explode. Huh? Rory? Okay, I'll talk. Don't get me wrong. Guys are great. You don't get knocked up at 16 by being indifferent to guys. But babe, guys are always going to be there, okay? This school isn't. It's more important. It has to be more important.

Lorelai

Does he have a motorcycle? If you're gonna throw your life away, he'd better have a motorcycle!

Lorelai
