- Emily: This is a serious problem. These Friday dinners are the only proper food that child eats all week.
- Richard: Rory, are you in any way malnourished or in need of some international relief organization to recruit a celebrity to raise money on your account?
- Rory: I'm good.
- Richard: She's good, Emily.
- Emily: Your sense of humor rears its ugly head at the oddest of times, Richard.
- Lorelai: When I was five, I had a really bad ear infection and I had been home in bed for a week and I was very sad. So I wished really hard that something wonderful would happen to me, and I woke up the next morning and it had snowed. And I was sure that some fairy godmother had done it just for me. It was my little present.
- Luke: Your parents never explained the concept of weather to you?
- [at a town meeting, about the Battle of Stars Hollow re-enactment]
- Lorelai: Where's Luke?
- [Rory spots him a few seats ahead of them]
- Rory: There.
- Mayor Harry Porter: Patty will be circulating a sign-up sheet for those of you who would like to participate in the re-enactment of the aforesaid battle.
- Rory: [watching Luke] He's turning red.
- Mayor Harry Porter: All right. "It was a frigid November night some 224 years ago..."
- Lorelai: [watching Luke] He's shifting in his seat!
- Mayor Harry Porter: "... Stars Hollow Militia stood in wait for the redcoats."
- Rory: He's adjusting the cap.
- Lorelai: *gasp* Ooh!
- Mayor Harry Porter: "Tired and hungry, 12 proud men took their positions in the town square."
- Lorelai: He's fighting the urge, he's fighting the urge!
- Mayor Harry Porter: "... and imminent death in their valiant efforts..."
- Luke: [bursting out] Oh for God's sake, do we have to go through this every damn year?
- Lorelai: Yes!
- Rory: And the urge wins by a long shot.
- Lorelai: [to Lane who is upset because she has randomly touched a guy's hair] Hey, do you wanna talk? I'm not Rory, but we do use the same blow dryer.
