Episode Quotes
 
Lorelai: Oy with the poodles already.
 
Kirk: I'm just so darn lonely. You know, not even Animal Planet does it for me anymore.
 
Sookie: Pink is for girls. Jackson's not a girl. Jackson doesn't like pink. I have all this pink, it's like saying, 'Hey, screw you. You want a say in this? Well, grow some ovaries.'
 
Lorelai: Not at all sad?
Rory: About getting my arm back? No.
Lorelai: Really? ‘Cause I’ve kind of gotten used to Casty over here. I mean, we decorated him, we talked to him, we protected him from getting wet in the shower.
Rory: Okay, it’s time to wean you off of getting attached to inanimate objects.
Lorelai: Casty, no one understands you like I do. What? No, I did not know Mr. Band-Aid said that to you. Ugh, I will talk to him when we get home.
 
Lorelai: Huh. You know what I just realized? Oy is the funniest word in the entire world.
Rory: Huh.
Lorelai: I mean, think about it. You never hear the word oy and not smile. Impossible. Funny, funny word.
Emily: Oh, dear God.
Lorelai: Poodle is another funny word.
Emily: Please drink your drink, Lorelai.
Lorelai: In fact, if you put oy and poodle together in the same sentence, you'd have a great new catch phrase, you know? Like, oy with the poodles already. So from now on, when the perfect circumstances arise, we will use our favorite new catch phrase.
Rory: Oy with the poodles already.
Lorelai: I'm telling you, it's knocking ‘whatcha talking ‘bout, Willis?' right out of first place.
Emily: Lorelai, for God's sake, be quiet.
 
Miss Patty: Ooh, ooh, a toast, everybody, a toast!
Kirk: Ladies, gentlemen, honored guests. Who owns the silver Volvo 'cause you're blocking me in?
Miss Patty: Well, it's better than the toast he made at the Ubromowitz wedding.
