Taylor: What is this, Lorelai, lingering resentment over the parking space issue?
Lorelai: Well, come on, you rejected it because I left out my middle name. How many other Lorelai Gilmores do you know?
Taylor: Well there's your daughter.
Lorelai: Okay, so, you know, two. Bet you can't name a third, unless you knew my grandma! (edit) Kirk: You won't believe, big news!
Lorelai: Kirk sit down.
Kirk: Can't, these aren't my pants. (edit) Dean: Look at us. The college student and the divorcee.
Rory: We'd make a good adult film. (edit) Luke: I'm sorry, are my customers bothering you?
Lorelai: No.
Luke: Okay, cause if they are, I can kick them out or close down.
Lorelai: They're not in the way.
Luke: Okay, I wouldn't want my business to get in the way of your little thing here. (edit) Clara: Rory, I'm so happy to see you! I liked you a lot better than Lindsay.
Dean: CLARA!
Clara: What, I wouldn't have said it to Lindsay! (edit)

Dean tells Rory that he does not wanna parade his relationship around town and in front of an already hurt Lindsey. This is ironic because just two years earlier(season 3)Rory told Jess, although a little nicer, the same thing concerning their relationship and hurting Dean! (edit) In this episode, Jackson's last name is "Belleville", though in previous episodes, he was introduced as Jackson Melville. (edit) When Rory goes to Dean's house and they are in his room, there are several pictures and a Stars Hollow High pennant on the wall. When Dean's mother comes to his door and they are talking, the same pictures and pennant are in a different position. (edit) In this episode, Rory calls Dean's mother, May. In, "Say Goodnight, Gracie", in the wedding announcement for Dean and Lindsay, Dean's mother's name is Barbara. (edit) In this episode it is stated that Stars Hollow has no mayor, just a selectman. However,during season one Harry,who is the town Mayor appears in a couple episodes. Then, in Hay Bale Maze, Rory tells Logan that Taylor is the mayor of Stars Hollow. (edit)

Jackson: (After elected, gets on stage to make a speech) What the hell am I doing here?

A parody of the famous 1992 Vice Presidential debate quote by Admiral James Stockdale (Ross Perot's running mate). His first words at the podium were "Who am I? Why am I here?" (edit) Lorelai: I know, but no votes? None? That's humiliating. That's "Swept Away" kind of humiliating.

Swept Away (2002) is a movie by Guy Ritchie starring Madonna. It was received and rated very badly. (edit) Rory: I don't feel like driving all the way back to school tonight. I have to deal with James Joyce first thing in the morning. Is that okay?

James Joyce is a famous Irish writer. His most famous novel is probably Ulysses. (edit) Lorelai: This is a nice man who is growing some very nice tomatoes, and you just need to oil your knees and go see the wizard and get a heart and drop this!

This is referring to The Wizard of Oz. More specifically the tin man that wanted to ask for a heart. (edit) Lorelai: What's the matter, honey? Justin and Cameron having trouble again?

This is possibly a reference to Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz who were a couple since 2003 and broke up in 2007. (edit)
