Episode Quotes
 
Lorelai: It should be magical. There should be music playing and romantic lighting and a subtle buildup to the popping of the big question. There should be a thousand yellow daisies and candles and a horse and I don't know what the horse is doing there unless you're riding it, which seems a little over the top, but it should be more than this.
 
Lorelai: What's going on?
Kirk: Am I or am I not the head man in charge of floral deliveries?
Lorelai: Yes, and one of the few men I know who would proudly declare that fact.
 
Michel: Daisies no less. As if I would order these pitiful little things. Foul things, these daisies. And just a notch up from weeds. And look how many. I mean, there must be at least -
Lorelai: A thousand of them. A thousand yellow daisies.
 
Lorelai: What's the opposite of ennui?
Sookie: Off-ui. Hey, I'm cured!
 
Lorelai: The freaking Blue Man Group is outside our house!
Rory: I was sleeping through it!
Lorelai: It had to have woken you up.
Rory: No my insane mother Margot Kidder Gilmore woke me up.
 
Lorelai: Luke, we sleep around here, okay? We like it. It makes us pretty and keeps us from killing our crazy friends.
 
Taylor: All right, the nays have it. Let the record reflect it. Lorelai, I hope that's not food in those bags. Food is not allowed at town meetings.
Lorelai: No, Taylor its not. Its, um, diapers for the little ones.
Taylor: What?
Lorelai: Rancho Cucamonga!
Taylor: What did she say?
Lorelai: (to Max) I confuse him till he loses his train of thought and then he moves on. Hot dog?
 
Max: We can't keep getting this close just to have something completely derail us again. And frankly there's only one thing I can think of that could solve it.
Lorelai: Break up.
Max: Ugh.
Lorelai: Well, I'm not interested in a murder-suicide kind of thing ...
Max: We should get married.
(long pause)
Lorelai: Give me a clue as to whether you're kidding or not.
Max: I am not kidding.
Lorelai: Good clue.
 
Luke: Doesn't matter what time it is. I'll always be around.
 
Dean: Your boyfriend's waiting.
Rory: He's not my boyfriend! I hate him!
Dean: Whatever.
Rory: Dean!
Dean: What?
Rory: Stop!
Dean: Why?
Rory: Because I love you, you idiot!
 
Max: So did you date Luke?
Lorelai: No, I did not date Luke.
Max: You can tell me.
Lorelai: I did not date Luke.
Max: There was a vibe.
