- Emily Gilmore: You are becoming more like your mother with every passing day.
- Rory Gilmore: And you're becoming more like my mother's mother with every passing day.
- Lorelai: I tried so hard. I have a list of things that he's afraid of on the fridge. And I try to do the right thing. I should not have socialized him at Kirk's doggy day care the other day. I should have taken him to the best doggy day care in the country, even if it was in Seattle. That's where I should have taken him.
- Luke: He's fine hanging with Kirk.
- Lorelai: I did this wrong. I did this all wrong! How could I have let this happen? How did I not see it coming? How didn't I step in and do something? And why can't I fix these things?
- Luke: Hey.
- Lorelai: I'm a bad mother!
- Luke: You're not a bad mother.
- Lorelai: Well, Oliver Twist just kindly asked for a little more gruel, and you kicked him right in the junk.
