Lorelai: It's not just Luke.
Christopher: Lor...
Lorelai: I mean you were right. There are feelings there...because...when that ended I just jumped.
Christopher: I pushed you.
Lorelai: I jumped. But if that's all there was...if that's all it was...we could fix it, you know...with time.
Christopher: But it's not.
Lorelai: (Lorelai shakes her head) You've always been this...possibility for me. (She looks at him affectionately) This wonderful possibility but it's just not right...and I'm so sorry. (Shakes her head) I am so sorry.
Christopher: (Sadly, hanging his head) Yeah. I guess I should have known, huh. It took me 20 years to get you to say yes.
Lorelai: (Breaking into tears) I need you to know...that you're the man...I want to want.
Christopher: I know.
Lorelai: (Sobbing) You have no idea how badly I wish.
Christopher: I do. I do know. (After a long pause) I do. (He grabs her hand.) (edit) Christopher: Clearly we have some issues.
Lorelai: Issues, what issues, we got in a fight, you took off.
Christopher: I was mad.
Lorelai: (being sarcastic) Ohh, you were mad, then you should've taken off. (edit) Logan: Can I ask you a question.
Rory: Yeah, anyting.
Logan: Has Paris ever belly danced before?
Rory: No, I think this is her first class.
Logan: Another question?
Rory: Shoot.
Logan: Why the hell aren't we over there watching her? (edit) Rory: (romance face)
Paris: What's with the goony look?
Rory: Hmm?
Paris: It's right out of a, harlequin romance. (edit) (talking about how Chris left and hadn't come home for two days)
Rory: Look, I'm not a kid anymore, okay? I get to have an opinion, and I get to pick a side. And I'm on your side, like it or not.
Lorelai: Okay.
Rory: And it's not just because you're right and he's wrong. I'm on your side, no matter what.
Lorelai: No matter what? I mean, even if I cut off all your hair while you were sleeping, would you still be on my side then?
Rory: Yep.
Lorelai: What if I signed you up for a camping trip and made you go?
Rory: Even then.
Lorelai: What if I put a secret clause on your birth certificate that says when you turn 23, your name changes to Hildegarde?
Rory: There's no such thing as a birth-certificate clause.
Lorelai: I had a really good lawyer. (edit)
Christopher: Lor...
Lorelai: I mean you were right. There are feelings there...because...when that ended I just jumped.
Christopher: I pushed you.
Lorelai: I jumped. But if that's all there was...if that's all it was...we could fix it, you know...with time.

Lorelai: I had a really good lawyer. (edit)
In this episode Lorelai apologizes for her behaviors and takes full blame for the marriage ending.However,it is Christopher who really bails out! So why would she take the blame,she was still willing to try,whether or not she still had feelings for Luke or not she was completely willing to work on the marriage,it was Chris who was not!
(edit)
Paris: I went to the Sigma Chi party without you.
Sigma Chi is an actual fraternity that was founded in 1855 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. They split from Delta Kappa Epsilon. (edit) Episode Title: Farewell, My Pet
It is most likely derived from the 1993 Chinese Movie Farwell, My Concubine that has two parallel, intertwined stories. It is the story of two performers in the Beijing Opera, stage brothers, and the woman who comes between them. At the same time, it attempts to do no less than squeeze the entire political history of China in the twentieth century into a three-hour time-frame. (edit) Rory: I'm supposed to be at a wrestling match. We're supposed to trade notes later.
Logan: Use the term "half Nelson".
Rory: I'll use the term "whole Nelson". I'm not afraid.
A Nelson Hold (sometimes simply referred to as a Nelson) is a grappling hold which is executed from the backside of the opponent. One or both arms are used to encircle the opponent's arm under the armpit, and secured at the opponent's neck. Several different nelson holds exist, and they can be separated according to the positioning of the encircling arm(s).
(edit) Michel: After all, "My Heart Will Go On" was Chin-Chin's favorite song.
"My Heart Will Go On" is the theme song of the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic. With music by James Horner and lyrics by Will Jennings, it was recorded by Céline Dion. Originally released in 1997 on Dion's album Let's Talk About Love. (edit) Michel: I don't even know why we are bothering to select music. Why not just turn on the radio and hope for the best? Maybe we'll get lucky and a hip-hop station will be playing Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg is an African American rapper, record producer, and actor. Snoop is best known as an MC in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of producer Dr. Dre's most notable protégés. (edit)
