Quotes 

• Mrs. Kim : How was school? Any of the girls get pregnant, drop out?

  Lane Kim : Not that we know of.

  Rory : Oh come to think of it JoAnna Pozner was glowing a little.

  Mrs. Kim : What?

  Lane Kim : Nothing Mama. She's just kidding.

  Mrs. Kim : Boys don't like funny girls.

  Rory : Noted.

• Rory : You're happy.

  Lorelai : Yeah.

  Rory : [suspiciously]  Did you do something slutty?

  Lorelai : I'm not that happy.

• Lorelai : You really like my table, don't you?

  Joey : I was just... uh

  Lorelai : Getting to know my daughter.

  Joey : Your...

  Rory : Are you my new daddy?

  Joey : Wow. You do not look old enough to have a daughter. No, I mean it. And-and-and you do not look like a daughter.

  Lorelai : That's possibly very sweet of you. Thanks.

  Joey : So. Daughter. You know, I am traveling with a friend.

  Lorelai : She's sixteen.

  Joey : Bye.

• Lorelai : So who is he?

  Rory : There's no guy.

  Lorelai : Dark hair, romantic eyes, looks a little dangerous?

  Rory : This conversation is over.

  Lorelai : Tattoos are good too.

  Rory : I don't wanna change school because of all the reasons I've already told you a thousand times. If you don't wanna believe me, that's fine. Goodnight.

  Lorelai : Does he have a motorcycle? 'Cause if you're gonna throw your life away he'd better have a motorcycle!

• Lorelai : [after leaving Emily and Richard's house]  Do I look shorter? 'Cause I feel shorter.

  Rory : Hey, how about I buy you a cup of coffee?

  Lorelai : Oh yeah. You drive though. OK? 'Cause I don't think my feet will reach the pedals.

• Lorelai : What do you need? Hot tea, coffee?

  Rory : Lip gloss.

  Lorelai : Aha.

  [Opens her purse] 

  Lorelai : I have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and toasted marshmallow.

  Rory : Anything in there not resembling a breakfast cereal?

  Lorelai : Yes.

  [pulls out another bag] 

  Lorelai : It has no smell but it changes colors with your mood.

• Dean : So, how are you liking Moby Dick?

  Rory : Oh, it's really good.

  Dean : Yeah?

  Rory : Yeah, it's my first Melville.

  Dean : Cool.

  Rory : I mean, I know it's kind of cliché to pick Moby Dick as your first Melville but... Hey, how did you know I was reading Moby Dick?

  Dean : Uh, well, I've been watching you.

  Rory : Watching me?

  Dean : I mean, not in a creepy, like, "I'm watching you" sort of way. I just - I've noticed you.

  Rory : Me?

  Dean : Yeah.

  Rory : When?

  Dean : Every day. After school you come out and you sit under that tree there and you read. Last week it was Madame Bovary. This week it's Moby Dick.

  Rory : But why would you...

  Dean : Because you're nice to look at, and because you've got unbelievable concentration.

  Rory : What?

  Dean : Last Friday these two guys were tossing around a ball and one guy nailed the other right in the face. I mean, it was a mess, blood everywhere, the nurse came out, the place was in chaos, his girlfriend was all freaking out, and you just sat there and read. I mean, you never even looked up. I thought, "I have never seen anyone read so intensely before in my entire life. I have to meet that girl."

  Rory : Maybe I just didn't look up because I'm unbelievably self-centered.

  Dean : Maybe, but I doubt it.
