Rory: Jeez, who's naked?
Lorelai: Uh, Lucien Mills, food critic.
Rory: Yeah? How's his butt?
Lorelai: No, no. He's supposed to review the restaurant.

Lorelai: Yeah. This school is so different from Stars Hollow you know. They send home like a thousand pages of updates every week. It's a very intense place.

Lane: I don't know. I don't know what to ask after you've been hit by a deer.
