Rory: So do you like cake?
Dean: What?
Rory: They make really good cakes here. They're very... round.
Dean: Okay, I'll remember that.
Rory: Good. Make a note. You wouldn't want to forget where the round cakes are. 

    Rory: I don't know. It was just one big, long, scary, tweedy, bad eight hours.
    Lorelai: Add some hair spray, and you've got my day. 

    Rory: I can't be late on my first day of school. Do you know what happens to people when they're late on their first day?
    Lorelai: It's shorter? 

    Emily: Rory, correct me if I'm wrong, but men have walked on the moon regardless of whether your mother remembers it or not.
    Rory: That's the rumor. 

    Rory: Mom's famous for her blowouts.
    Lorelai: The best one was her eighth birthday.
    Rory: Oh yeah, that was good.
    Lorelai: The cops shut us down.
    Luke: The cops shut down an eight year old's birthday party?
    Rory: And arrested the clown. 

    Rory: So, is this party Grandma's having gonna be a big deal?
    Lorelai: Not really. The government will close that day. Flags will fly at half-mast. Barbra Streisand will give her final concert…again. Now, the Pope has previous plans, but he's trying to get out of them. However, Elvis and Jim Morrison are coming and they're bringing chips.
    Rory: You ask a simple question… 

    Lorelai: And it's so hard to believe that at exactly this time many moons ago, I was lying in exactly the same position --
    Rory: Oh, boy. Here we go.
    Lorelai: Only I had a huge, fat stomach and big fat ankles and I was swearing like a sailor--
    Rory: On leave.
    Lorelai: On leave -- right! And there I was --
    Rory: In labor.
    Lorelai: And while some have called it the most meaningful experience of your life, to me it was something more akin to doing the splits on a crate of dynamite.
    Rory: I wonder if the Waltons ever did this.
    Lorelai: And I was screaming and swearing and being surrounded as I was by a hundred prominent doctors, I just assumed there was an actual use for the cup of ice chips they gave me.
    Rory: There wasn't.
    Lorelai: But pelting the nurses sure was fun. 

    [Lorelai invites Dean to Gilmore movie night and then retires to the kitchen to let the kids be alone. Shortly, a panicked Rory enters.]
    Rory: Mom! What are you doing in here?
    Lorelai: [idly flipping though a magazine] Trying to find the best bathing suit for my bust size?
    Rory: Well… get back in there!
    Lorelai: [concerned] Why? What happened? Did the bad boy try something?
    Rory: He's sitting there, and he's watching the movie, and he's perfect, and he smells really good!
    Lorelai: What?
    Rory: He smells really good, and he looks amazing, and I am stupid! I said "Thank you"!
    Lorelai: Whoa, whoa, whoa. You… you said "Thank you"?
    Rory: When he kissed me!
    Lorelai: Wai… He kissed you again? What is he, just out of prison or something?
    Rory: No, not now. Yesterday? At the store?
    Lorelai: Oh, all right. Strike the prison comment. So wait… he kissed you, and you said "Thank you"?
    Rory: [disgustedly] Yes!
    Lorelai: [sweetly] Well, that was very polite.
    Rory: No, it was stupid! And I don't know what I'm doing here, you're sitting here in the kitchen… what kind of chaperone are you?
    Lorelai: Me? I'm not trying to be a chaperone. I'm trying to be a girlfriend.
    Rory: Well, switch gears, 'cause I'm freaking out here!
    [Lorelai smiles.]
    Lorelai: You really like him, don't you?
    Rory: [troubled] Yeah!
    Lorelai: Well, okay then. Just calm down.
    Rory: I just don't want to do or say anything else that's gonna be remotely moronic.
    Lorelai: I'm afraid once your heart is involved, it all comes out in Moron. 

    Rory: You'll never get it past Lorelai. She had a bad reaction to Magnolia. She sat there for three hours screaming "I want my life back!". Then, we got kicked out of the theater. Actually, it was a pretty entertaining day.

    Rory: No? No lecture about kissing a boy?
    Lorelai: Why? Did you do it wrong? 

    Rory: Hey. My mom's not wearing any underwear.
    Lorelai: Oh!
    Rory: Well you aren't.
    Taylor: You're just being selfish, Luke.
    Lorelai: Still they don't notice. I can't take it anymore.
    Taylor: We're talking about the spirit of fall.
    [Lorelai gets the coffee herself and lifts the cover off the muffins.]
    Lorelai: What kind of muffin do you want?
    Rory: Blueberry.
    Luke: You know where you can stick the spirit of fall?
    [Luke hands Lorelai a utensil to pick up the muffins.]
    Luke: Here, don't use your hands.
    Taylor: I don't think you're taking me seriously.
    Luke: What gave you that idea? (to Lorelai, who is leaving) No tip?
    Lorelai: Oh, yeah, here's a tip .. serve your customers.
    Luke: Here's another .. don't sit on any cold benches. 

    Rory: Dean does not hang out in trees.
    Lorelai: He bashed his head on a branch last week when I came out of the house too quickly. 

    Rory: I think you're acting a little immature.
    Lorelai: I'm not acting!
