Quotes 

• Rory : Sounds like you're over thinking this. Maybe if you just put pen to paper.

  Lorelai : I tried that, I thought, "I'll just sit down and write whatever comes - no judgment, no inner critic." Boy was that a bad idea.

  Rory : Really? Why?

  Lorelai : Because my brain is a wild jungle full of scary gibberish. "I'm writing a letter, I can't write a letter, why can't I write a letter? I'm wearing a green dress, I wish I was wearing my blue dress, my blue dress is at the cleaner's. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue, 'Casablanca' is such a good movie. Casablanca, the White House, Bush. Why don't I drive a hybrid car? I should really drive a hybrid car. I should really take my bicycle to work. Bicycle, unicycle, unitard. Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants!"

  Rory : Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants?

• Lorelai : I'm so mad at you!

  Rory : What kind of greeting is that?

  Lorelai : What kind of daughter doesn't let her mother pick her up at the airport?

  Rory : The kind who parks her car at the airport car park.

  Lorelai : But I'm the kind of mother who picks her daughter up at the airport, you know, with flowers and coffee and a fake chauffeur's sign. Why would you mess with my sense of self?

  Rory : My car was parked at the airport car park.

  Lorelai : So what, I could have driven to the airport, picked you up, brought you back. Then we both could have driven to pick up your car and come here.

  Rory : Yeah, 'cause that wouldn't be a waste of gas or anything.

• Rory : It smells so good in here with all our trees.

  Lorelai : It's like a dozen car air fresheners.

  Rory : Just imagine how good it's gonna be once all our trees are here.

  Christopher : This is crazy!

  Lorelai : Seven trees.

  Christopher : Which was crazy.

  Lorelai : What? Buck a tree.

  Rory : Dad, we have to have at least one tree in the kitchen.

  Georgia 'GG' Hayden : Yeah, dad.

  Christopher : I'm in a forest of crazy.

• Rory : I love our trees!

  Georgia 'GG' Hayden : Me too!

  Christopher : You don't think our trees are...

  Lorelai : What?

  Christopher : Maybe a little homely?

  Lorelai : Homely?

  Christopher : I'm just saying.

  Rory : What!

  Lorelai : What are you saying?

  Christopher : That our trees are not classically good-looking. I mean if you were to look up "tree" in the dictionary, you would not find one of these fellows.

  Lorelai : Why would you look up "tree" in the dictionary?

  Rory : So we don't have classically good-looking trees.

  Lorelai : [At Chris]  You don't know what a tree is.

  Rory : Come on, look at that tree.

  Christopher : I'm looking.

  Rory : That tree has character.

  Lorelai : It does.

  Rory : That tree has earned character by persevering through freezing winters and forest fires and floods.

  Lorelai : This tree's a fighter.

  Rory : Woodpeckers, I mean maniacal woodpeckers just pecking at its trunk.

  Lorelai : Survivor.

  Rory : Peck, peck, peck, day in and day out.

  Lorelai : That tree's a champion.
