- Christopher Hayden: [Christopher, feeling down, talks with Lorelai after finding the letter she wrote about Luke] I read your letter.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Honey, it's not a letter. It's just a character reference that Luke asked me to write for his court case.
- Christopher Hayden: Reads like a letter.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Oh, yeah?
- Christopher Hayden: Almost like a love letter.
- Lorelai Gilmore: No, it's a favor that Luke asked cause he needed...
- Christopher Hayden: You know what? Before you go through a whole list of excuses, let me just ask: Is our marriage for you basically just marking time?
- Lorelai Gilmore: What?
- Christopher Hayden: No, come on, Lore.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Of course not.
- Christopher Hayden: I mean, obviously, you still have very deep feelings for the guy.
- Lorelai Gilmore: No, no, I just have known him a long time, and he's...
- Christopher Hayden: Always been there, always will be there.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Luke needed a character reference for court to prove that he deserves partial custody of April and I know him very well.
- Christopher Hayden: Yes, you do.
- Lorelai Gilmore: And so it just made sense that he would ask me to write that character reference.
- Christopher Hayden: I can't believe I just had coffee from his place.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Coffee? Sweetie, I told you Sookie brought that, okay?
- Christopher Hayden: Do you- do you still talk to him? I mean, do you- do you see him?
- Lorelai Gilmore: This is crazy.
- Christopher Hayden: Hey, I got a right. I have the right to know.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Occasionally I see him because we live in the same town.
- Christopher Hayden: Yeah, and I know you, Lore.
- Lorelai Gilmore: And?
- Christopher Hayden: And I know that you're not done with him.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Ok, this is ridiculous. This is a ridiculous conversation, ok? I have a history with him, yes. I was engaged to him, yes. But I married you.
- Christopher Hayden: Tell me you're not in love with him.
- Lorelai Gilmore: I'm not in love with him.
- Christopher Hayden: I should've known. I mean, all the signs were there.
- Lorelai Gilmore: What signs?
- Christopher Hayden: Well, the fact that you didn't want to leave Stars Hollow, that you were dead set against redoing the wedding, that you didn't want to have a baby with me. I mean, it's all because of him, right?
- Lorelai Gilmore: No. How can I tell-- It's over, ok? What I had with him, it's over, Chris.
- Christopher Hayden: Then why did you hide the letter from me?
- Lorelai Gilmore: I wasn't hiding it. I put it in the drawer in case they lost the typed copy, or the judge spilled coffee on it, the dog ate it. I don't know why I didn't tell you about it.
- Christopher Hayden: I think that it's because you're still in love with him.
- Lorelai Gilmore: No, I love you, I love you.
- Christopher Hayden: You know what, Lore? I'm sorry, I just, I can't handle this.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Handle what?
- Christopher Hayden: This, you and him, I just-- I can't handle being your 2nd choice. I thought I could, but I can't, all right? I can't be your rebound. I'm sorry.
- [Leaves]
- Lorelai Gilmore: Chris!
