Emily – Find out what Jason's going to wear. I don't want the two of you showing up looking like the Bobbsey twins
Tom – Well, the roof's about to cave in so I can stay within our budget, but then I'd just call 'em all Trigger
Lorelai – Is that Condoleeza Rice?
Kirk — Yes, it is. I'm a fan, and her big mouth is perfect for shoving mail in.
Paris – You'd think he was already President. I don't want to be Hillary.
Lorelai – That's a good story. Hans Christian Andersen?
Emily – Shame on you for swearing there's a flier. That's the worst possible thing you could do.
LorelaiLiv Tyler grew up her entire life thinking Todd Rundgren was her real father. You think that might knock this out of first place?
Rory – My dorm room has turned into a Three Stooges movie.
Kirk – Say I was Tom Cruise. Where would you seat me?
Luke – In an acting class
Rory – It's quiet but not Unabomber
Lorelai – Every family has a Fredo.
