- Lorelai – I'm telling you, it's knocking ‘whatcha talking ‘bout, Willis?' right out of first place.
- Lorelai – You're pulling a Mr. Freeze on me.
- Luke – I also enjoyed the Garfield stationery.

- Madeline – The hairstyles alone prove that the Farrelly Brothers are not making it up.
- Paris – Who would be the yin to my yang, Joel to my Ethan, Damon to my Affleck
- Paris – See, that is exactly what I need from you, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm for the new millennium. Hey wear some braids tomorrow with bows. I mean, hell, let's sell it, sister!
- Christopher – It was counting up how many Brigadoon references you could come up with to torture him with on a later date.
- Lorelai – My face is calling Gloria Allred when we get home.
