Lorelai: God, I beat that dead horse.
Rory: With glee.

Emily: "Can you expand on that? Answer – Gee, how much time do you have?"
Lorelai: Okay, see –
Emily: "I mean, if you guys have a lunch or an afternoon squash game or something. . .you look like the kind of guys who play squash. And hey, why's it called squash? Is it something to do with the fruit? Or vegetable, right? A squash is a vegetable, though if you ask me, it's gross no matter what you call it. Well, anyway, what I'm saying is you might want to clear your afternoon."
Lorelai: I was flustered. He was using lawyer tricks.
