(to Rory about her yearbook)
Lorelai: Hey, you know what's weird? A lot of the kids in here are calling you valedictorian and if that's anything like a dirty skank, I'll kick their plaid butt right up the sidewalk.
 
Jess: Do they bite?
Sasha: Just those two. (Sasha leaves)
Jess: Which two? Which two!? Great! (to the dogs) If you bite me, I swear I'll bite you back.
 
(about Jess)
Lorelai: Luke.
Luke: I failed him.

(Paris and Lorelai are sitting at the senior party cruise booth and Paris is freaking out that no one's signed up)
Paris: Unbutton your blouse.
Lorelai: What?
Paris: Unbutton the top buttons of your blouse.
Lorelai: Why?
Paris: Guys are attracted to that kind of thing. Well me doing it isn't going to help any.
Lorelai: Paris, you need to stop worrying. You need to stop obsessing. You need to stop looking at my boobs.
 
Rory: Who cares if I'm pretty if I miss my finals?
Lorelai: Wow, you've got that all wrong.
 
Lorelai: Hey, listen, my little Holly Hunter in Broadcast News, I'm gonna let you freak out and study like a mad woman and stress yourself out until finals, but once they're over, we are gonna celebrate big time ... 'cause this is amazing.
Rory: Yeah, it is.
Lorelai: Okay, now go make Mommy nervous.

Rory: Does Gore Vidal live near here?

Gore Vidal is an American author who wrote several essays, novels, and plays and lived in both Los Angeles and Ravello, Italy, but sold his house in Italy shortly after this episode aired.
 
Lorelai: Hey, listen, my little Holly Hunter in "Broadcast News".

Paris: Suddenly, I'm Felicity without the hair issues.

Paris is referring to the television series Felicity. During the series run, show star Keri Russell cut her long, curly hair and shortly after her hair-do change, the show's ratings dropped significantly and the show was canceled. Some fans blame the show's cancellation on Russell's hair cut, while others believe that it was due to a time-slot change.
