How is it that the Inn was even set up for Chris to have lunch? The restaurant had no kitchen staff working because several weeks earlier the lunches were discontinued due to it's not making any money!
When Lorelai sits in the living room with Emily for Friday night dinner, Emily joins her on the same couch. Then Lorelai remarks how odd it is that she is so close. However, there have been several times in the past that Emily has sat next to Lorelai on the couch.
Rory tells Marty that she broke up with her boyfriend this week. Dean broke up with Rory on a Friday night. The next Friday Lorelai and Rory split Friday night dinner and Christopher came for lunch on Saturday. When Rory is with Marty it is almost the end of the week so it would have been 2 weeks that Rory was broken up with Dean.
Technically, the date of this episode fell in the Islamic month of Shawwal, the month after Ramadan.
When Lorelai is showing Christopher around the Dragonfly, Gigi is nowhere to be found. However, in the next shot, Gigi is with them at the table. It's highly unlikely that a random guest or Michel is looking after her while Christopher is touring the inn. Obviously Gigi couldn't just sit in the dining room alone either.
When Lorelai is in the diner talking to Luke about his gloating behavior, two people (all dressed in black) walk by twice.
When Lorelai and Rory are just about to order lunch at the inn, a woman wearing a denim jacket walks by twice.
As Lorelai and Rory are leaving Emily's house, an inch of a camera lens is visible in the top left corner.
Emily: I have no idea what to put on. I'm in a blind panic and it's all your fault.
Lorelai: How is it my fault?
Emily:Because I used your line and it worked!
Lorelai: What line?
Emily: Hello!
Lorelai: Hello is not my line. Hello is not a line. Hello is hello.
Emily: Well all I know is I helloed him today and now he's taking me to dinner.
Lorelai: This is the second time I've told it. Both times, crickets. (sips her coffee) I mean, Rory and Christopher looked at me like I was Pauly Shore.
Luke: Christopher?
Lorelai: Rory's Dad. He came for lunch today. I had lunch with him today. And Rory. Had lunch with Rory and Christopher. And Gigi, his daughter with
Sherry, he brought her 'cause Sherry moved to France and he's a full time dad now and we all had lunch. All of us, together, today. And when I told the Bathrobe Bandit story they all acted like that. (Laughs nervously)Except Gigi, who spit up, 'cause she's a baby. That's what they do.
Lorelai: I lied to my kid, Sookie. I hate that I lied to her. But I didn't
want her to think there was any weird reason why I didn't tell Luke.
Sookie: Was there any weird reason that you didn't tell Luke?
Lorelai: Sookie, come on.
Sookie: I don't know. Maybe you were afraid that he would get jealous. I'd be afraid that Jackson would get jealous.
Lorelai: I was not afraid that he'd get jealous.
Sookie: He did beat up a car.
Lorelai: One time.
Sookie: That we know of.
Lorelai: No, I didn't tell him because it was no big deal! (She sighs) I thought it was no big deal. I should have told him, right?
Sookie: Well -
Lorelai: Yeah. I should have told him. Now he's going to think I'm hiding something from him and I'm not. Damn it. He's going to beat up my car.
Sookie: It's American, it can take it.
Rory: I went to see Dad.
Lorelai: When, today?
Rory: No, a while ago. Right after Sherry left. I went to see him and I told him that I didn't want him to call you anymore.
Lorelai: Why?
Rory: Mom. Come on.
Lorelai: (confused) No "Mom, come on". Why, why did you do that?
Rory: I didn't want him to screw anything up between you and Luke.
Lorelai: Oh, kid. You are so far off here. That is not going to happen.
Rory: Every time he comes back he ends up messing up your life.
Lorelai: Not true!
Rory: It's completely true. He wants you back and then he disappears or Sherry gets pregnant or he loses his job or he just takes off, whatever. No
good reason necessary. And it's been like this forever and you just let him do it, you can't help it.
Lorelai: (offended) Rory, come on!
Rory: You can't just break free of him.
Lorelai: What are you talking about?
Rory: You're engaged to Max and then suddenly you're not.
Lorelai: Christopher had nothing to do with Max.
Rory: Who was the person you were calling from your bachelorette party?
Lorelai: I was drunk. I tried to call Abe Vigoda too, if you remember.
Rory: You're just always waiting for him to get himself together.
Lorelai: No, no, hon. I am not always waiting for him. There have been times when, yes, it would have been nice to actually be with the father of my kid,
but not now. I'm with Luke, completely.
Rory: What did he say when you told him?
Lorelai: Told who what?
Rory: Luke. What did he say when you told him you were having lunch with Dad?
Lorelai: Nothing.
Rory: He didn't care?
Lorelai: No. He didn't care. He didn't have to care, 'cause there's nothing to care about.
Emily: Your father has proven to me once and for all he's moved on with his life.
Lorelai: You don't think that moving on with his life would've actually
included moving?
Emily: No.
Lorelai: Okay.
Emily: We attended the Dorman School Bazaar last week - it was a big, formal gala, all our friends were there - and at dinner he made me reach for the
butter.
Lorelai: What?
Emily: It was sitting right there in front of him, and yet he didn't offer me the dish. He buttered his own roll, offered the dish to the man next to him, and that was it.
Lorelai: And that's why you think he's moved on?
Emily: It was a total disregard for my needs. I might as well not have had a roll in front of me at all.
Lorelai: Well, Mom, I'm sorry.
Emily: Very upsetting. But at some point you have to face facts, and the facts are, he's moved on. And therefore I should move on also.
Lorelai: Absolutely. Move on dot org.
Rory: I am sick of humoring Grandma and Grandpa during this stupid
separation of theirs. This "drinks here, dinner there" is dumb. It's not working, and we should not do it anymore.
Lorelai: Well, if you feel it is best to end the Friday night dinners, then, as your mother, I feel it is my duty to support you.
Rory: I'm not saying we should end Friday night dinners.
Lorelai: Okay, well, then, as your mother, I feel it is my duty to tell you that you're wrong.
(Lorelai spends Friday night dinner with Emily while Rory spends it with Richard, Emily sits down right next to Lorelai on the couch in her house to have a drink)
Lorelai: Isn't this weird to you?
Emily: What?
Lorelai: Sitting next to each other?
Emily: Would you like me to move?
Lorelai: No! It's fine. It's just close.
Emily: Will you explain to me again why we are doing this?
Lorelai: I have no idea, cause you usually sit over there.
Emily: I'm talking about Rory being in the pool house, Lorelai!
(Emily called Lorelai for help on her date. Lorelai enters Emily's room)
Lorelai: Mom? Have you...(A shirt flies through the air almost hitting her) Ah, Chanel attack!
Emily: (to Simon) I'm very dangerous. Ask my maids.
(about Emily wanting to see other men)
Rory: What? Why?
Lorelai: He wouldn't butter her roll.
Richard: When you're entertaining an elegant young lady for dinner, then dinner is to be expected.
Rory: But I just sprang this on you. You can't be held accountable for your lack of elegant young lady food.
Lorelai: So, which one do you want me to take?
Rory: How about I'll take Grandpa and you'll take Grandma.
Lorelai: Blagh! No.
Rory: OK, then I'll take Grandma, you take Grandpa.
Lorelai: Blagh! No.
Rory: Mom!
Lorelai: Can't I take the butler? He doesn't talk much and as far as I can tell, thoroughly enjoys the way I dress.
Rory: OK, so I've got an idea.
Lorelai: Finally, this Yale thing's kicking in.
Sookie: When I worry too much about how I'm treating Jackson, I just remember Brandy.
Lorelai: Brandy?
Sookie: Christopher's Brandy.
Lorelai: Christopher's Sherry?
Sookie: Oh, I knew it was something like that!
Lorelai: Hi, T.J.
T.J.: Three feet, Lorelai, because I haven't showered in as many days.
Lorelai: Uh! Bye, T.J.
Lorelai: Michel ripped his pants, and his underwear is pink and shiny.
Emily: You see a man. You walk up to him, and you say -
Lorelai: Hello.
Emily: Is that too forward?
Lorelai: So Mom, do you think you and Dad are getting back together?
Emily: Absolutely not!
Lorelai: Okay. Got any peanuts?
Paris: People came to America to escape religious persecution.
Marty: Well, what religion is anti-leftovers?
Emily: I think it's time for me to date.
Lorelai: (Chokes on drink) Oh my God!
Emily: I want to go on a date.
Lorelai: With a man?
Emily: No, a weasel. Of course with a man!
Lorelai: I'm not hearing this!
Emily: Well, why shouldn't I date? I'm still a viable commodity.
Lorelai: I need a paper towel and a valium, please.

French episode title: "Emily Sort!", meaning "Emily Goes Out".

(Jackson is holding giant scissors that were left at his front door)
Jackson: This is a threat!
Lorelai: Yeah, those people at Butterick patterns are a real threat.
Butterick patterns are used for fashion and home sewing projects.
Rory: Apparently that wasn't enough Peyton Place for me.
Peyton Place was a novel, then movie, then TV series, about scandalous lives in a small New England town.
Emily: (about Richard) The facts are he's moved on, and therefore I should move on also.
Lorelai: Absolutely. Move On dot org.
Lorelai is alluding to the liberal political action group and website, something that would appall Emily if she caught the allusion.
Lorelai: (To Christopher about not calling her) I thought you'd turned Amish and couldn't make any calls until Rumspringa.
Rumspringa is the traditional coming of age time for Amish teens when they are allowed to drink, smoke, party and experience the modern world before they either commit to the church and give it all up or chose to continue living in the modern world for the rest of their lives.
Lorelai: Good thing we ditched that Audi in Marseilles, now we just have to find that tracking device.
