Episode Quotes |
| |
Kyle: I'm in the Navy now, you know. My older cousins did two-year stints. It paid for their college and stuff, so I joined up. Of course, we weren't fighting international skirmishes on two or three dangerous fronts like we are now.
| Lorelai: So, he invited us to his wedding.
Rory: And we're having beef.
Lorelai: Well, what was his body language like?
Rory: Tall.
| Lorelai: And apparently, now that I'm the pretty spinster living all alone, he's concerned for my safety.
Rory: Did he tell you all this?
Lorelai: Do you think I labeled myself the pretty spinster?
| Rory: What's going on? Is it the smoke detector? Are we on fire?
| Dean: Chicken or beef?
Rory: What?
Dean: Wait, beef. Of course, beef. I mean, the two of you are definitely beef. I mean, not like you resemble beef or anything.
| (while standing on Lorelai's post-it note path in the hallway; part of the path has been messed up)
Rory: So which one do I follow?
Lorelai: Which one looks more intentional?
Rory: No post-it path looks intentional.
| Dean: I just didn't want you to think ...
Rory: Oh, no, I didn't think, I don't think. I go to Yale now. They think for you.
| Lorelai: Uh, this, uh, call is coming from the house.
Rory: Our house?
Lorelai: It's flashing our number.
Rory: But we're here.
Lorelai: I know. That's the weird part.
| (about Taylor's new ice cream)
Rory: Oh, my God, this is incredible! It's called chocolate chocolate chocolate, but it's seriously chocolate chocolate chocolaty.
