Lorelai: See; now only a lady can gracefully walk around a room with a book on her head while eating Kung pow chicken. I mean a great lady can even spit the peanuts back into the container without anyone noticing.
Rory: Wow!
Lorelai: Yeah, well don't be intimidated. You have to practice and practice to get to my level.
Rory: Anyone want the last egg roll?
Dean: Err...no!
Lorelai: Hey, where are you going?
Rory: To get the last egg roll.
Lorelai: Getting the egg roll yourself?
Rory: Yes!
Lorelai: No, ladies never get their own egg rolls, ladies never get their own anything they don't even get their own ideas.
Rory: Oh Boy!
Lorelai: They just sit helplessly and wait for some young strong man to come by and assist them. They don’t step in puddles, they don’t step over puddles, and they can’t even look at puddles. They actually need to be blindfolded and thrown in a sack and carried over puddles.
Rory: Isn’t there a moratorium on how long ladies are supposed to talk?
Lorelai: Err…no! Now repeat after me “I am completely helpless”.
(edit) (Jess comes down the stairs drssed in a flannel shirt and a backwards baseball cap)
Lorelai: Uh, Luke...
Luke: What? (sees Jess) What do you think you're doing?
Jess: Working.
Luke: So, you think this is funny.
Jess: I'm sorry, I thought this was the uniform.
Luke: You know what? That's fine. Have your little joke, doesn't bother me at all. Clean that table.
Jess: Yeah?
Luke: I'm ignoring you. You do not exist.
Jess: Okay. (Jess starts to clean table)
Luke: That's it, gets upstairs and change.
Jess: Whatever you say, Uncle Luke.
Luke: It's Luke. Just Luke. Mister Luke. In fact, don't address me at all! (edit) Emily: You don't want your granddaughter admitted to society?
Richard: To hell with society! (to a table of people) And yes, I'm talking about you! (edit) Rory: So?
Dean: So what?
Rory: It's good, isn't it?
Dean: It's the Rock-n-Roll hall of fame induction.
Rory: And doesn't Neil Young look cool?
Dean: I guess.
Rory: And you'll notice he's wearing a tux.
Dean: Neil Young looks cool because he's Neil Young, not because he's wearing a tux.
Lorelai:(on phone with Emily) I don't have to ask her Mom, I know the answer... I know the answer... yeah, no, I don't have to... yeah, hold on. (to Rory) Rory, would you like Grandma's hair stylist to come and set your hair before the ball? (Rory makes a face) Oh, I did not coach her, Mom. Go back to talking about gloves!
Rory:(to Dean) I think you're going to look great in a tux.
Lane: Tails.
Dean: What?!
Lane: Yeah, according to this, all escorts must be properly attired in black tails, white cumberbuns and white gloves.
Dean: What?!
Rory: I'm sure the gloves are optional!
Lane: Not according to this.
Dean: Tails? Gloves?
Rory: Remember Neil Young. Remember that you love me. Remember that I'll be watching battlebots with you for a month!
Dean: Show me Neil Young again. (edit) Lorelai: I swear, there is nothing in the world my mother is better at than getting someone to agree to something that in any other universe, they would never ever consider.
Rory: Mom.
Lorelai: I am still convinced she had something to do with Lily Tomlin doing that movie with John Travolta (edit)

In the final scene, when Lorelai drops by her parents' house, she says she went to hang. She clarifies, "Talk. Don't talk. Whatever." This is the exact same quote that Lane says to Rory in ep. 1.17 "The Breakup, Part 2." (edit) When Rory runs out to meet her dad, the first clip shows her running and stopping then switches to another shot where she is stopping again. (edit) When Christopher and Lorelai walk in to Miss Patty's, the music is loud and then when they are talking to Dean and Rory the music is turned down and then it isn't even on. When Lorelai and Christopher start dancing, Christopher turns the music on and it's at the beginning of the song again. (edit) At the diner at the end, Rory's pinkie finger goes up at the request of Lorelai for her to act like a lady. When the camera is behind her, the finger stays up, but when the angle moves around, in split second, it is back on the burger. (edit) In the episode "Love and War and Snow," Rory pulls out a picture album of old photos. Inside that album was a picture of Lorelai in her debutant dress. The dress in the picture looked nothing like the one that Rory was wearing, even though they were supposed to be the same dress. Why are the dresses different? (edit)

Rory: At one point Miss Patty thought Dean was gonna get hurt, she made me sit in the corner and watch.
Lorelai: Hey! Nobody puts Baby in the corner.

Lorelai is referring to a scene in Dirty Dancing. Patrick Swazye (Johnny) takes Jennifer Grey (Baby) from her parents (one of whom was played by a younger Kelly Bishop), who were sitting at a corner table, to dance in the resort's final show. (edit) Lorelai: That's like accepting the position as the drummer in Spinal Tap.

In the 1984 Rob Reiner movie This Is Spinal Tap, spoof "rockumentary" about the fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap, it's not unusual for their drummers to die in a freak gardening accident, to explode onstage, or even to die from choking on someone else's vomit. (edit) Rory: Remember that I'll be watching Battle Bots with you for a month.

Battle Bots is a TV show where people build robots that fight each other in a ring. (edit) Lorelai: (to Christopher about the ball) Now, I know that you would rather sit through Endless Love than ever be a part of this scene again.

Endless Love is a movie about teenagers who fall in love and become very obsessive about each other. (edit) Lorelai: Oh Shecky, you kill me.

Shecky Greene is a comedian and actor. (edit)
