  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.

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

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

• Lorelai : [Michel is ignoring the phone]  Michel, the phone.

  Michel : Mmm-hmm. It rings.

  Lorelai : Can you answer it?

  Michel : No, people are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to anymore of them.

  Lorelai : You know who's really nice to talk to? The people at the unemployment agency.

  Michel : [He pickes up the phone]  Independence Inn, Michel speaking.

  [pause] 

  Michel : No, I'm sorry, we're completely booked.

• 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.

• Emily : You took that girl and completely shut us out of your life.

  Lorelai : You wanted to control me.

  Emily : You were still a child.

  Lorelai : I stopped being a child the minute the strip turned pink, okay? I had to figure out how to live. I found a good job.

  Emily : As a maid. With all your brains and talent.

  Lorelai : I worked my way up. I run the place now. I built a life on my own with no help from anyone.

  Emily : Yes, and think of where you would have been if you'd accepted a little help, hmm? And where Rory would have been. But no, you were always too proud to accept anything from anyone.

  Lorelai : Well, I wasn't too proud to come here to you two begging for money for my kid's school, was I?

  Emily : No, you certainly weren't. But you're too proud to let her know where you got it from, aren't you? Well, fine, you have your precious pride and I have my weekly dinners. Isn't that nice? We both win.
