Lorelai – Bewitched? I love Bewitched.

Rory – That's my little Kofi Annan.

Lorelai – Of course, I had no idea we were dealing with the Carringtons. All we needed was a swimming pool and some ball-gowns to really end the evening right.

Jason – Where all the financial wash-ups wash up. It's gonna be me and the Enron boys, smoking cigars while their ankle cuffs beep quietly in the background.

Lorelai – Jack Nicholson and Angelina Jolie just kicked us out with parting gifts.

Lorelai – Of course, my scenario also involved my mother finding her inner Timothy Leary and moving us all out to a commune in Berkeley.
