- Lorelai – And what are your plans today, Persis Khambatta?
- Rory – Well, how are we supposed to get out of our house?
- (Lorelai crosses her arms, nods her head and blinks)
- Rory – It looks like heaven or a Victoria's Secret commercial which, to some people, is basically the same thing.
- Lorelai – We know where all those Calvin Klein ads went to die.
- Sookie – I missed the beginning of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and by the time I got back, they were all gay.
