POP CULTURE

Richard – Oh, you're going to show her the Gutenberg?

Lorelai – Steve?

Richard – (bemused) Bible.

Lorelai – Right.

Lorelai – You're, like, hotter than Willy Wonka.

Luke – I am not hotter than Willy Wonka.

Lorelai – Business? Now you're Willy Loman?

Lorelai – Because you keep those crazy, anal, Bob Graham kind of notebooks.

Rory – Yes, he is. But not as cute as Pushkin. Right this way, missy.

Rory – It's 11 o'clock at night. Who do you hope to hook up with, Spike and Drusilla?

Sookie – I mean, who has three Thigh Masters besides Suzanne Somers?

Lorelai – Great! Then I'll hop a fence and get Richard Widmark to sign my grapefruit.

Paris – Seriously, you've got a minute to make an impression and that's all you can come up with? You want to know my sign too, Jack? Or how about my favorite color? Or if I'm a Britney or a Christina?

Paris – So you've been reading about those skeletons they've been finding on the island of Flores, right?

Doyle – Oh, yeah. And they're only 13,000 years old. That's nothing in geological time.
