    • When Lorelai walks into Luke's in the beginning of the episode to order coffee, you can see through the window that it is raining and everyone is using umbrellas, yet Lorelai walks in without an umbrella completely dry.
    • When Lorelai first comes in from her date with Jason and hears Luke's message, she initially ignores his plea for a ride and heads up the stairs. Once she realizes he is in jail, she turns and heads out. However, it seems a little odd that Lorelai would have even considered ignoring the call after everything Luke has done for her (fix windows, move Rory to Yale,offer to loan her money when she had termites,etc). In fact,he had just loaned her $30,000 a few weeks earlier!
    • Paris says she needs to live vicariously through Rory, which is a repeated line in the series. It was first said by Lane to Rory in episode 1.7 "Kiss and Tell."
    • When Luke kicks the car of Nicole's alleged other man, you can tell the passenger side window is completely open because Luke's fingers are able to reach inside for support.
    • If Rory is so cold after being soaked in the rain, why doesn't she put both her arms under the duvet cover?
    • When you see the first views of the club where the band is playing, you can see the back of Rory and Paris in the crowd around the band, even though they haven't arrived yet.

    • Rory: So are we done? Paris: With what? Rory: Spring break. Are we done? Paris: I don't know. Rory: Well, let's go down the list. Paris: Okay, we came. Rory: Check. Paris: We danced. Rory: Check. Paris: We drank. Rory: Check. Paris: We...threw up. Rory: We didn't throw up. Paris: Give us 10 more minutes. Rory: Right.
    • Paris: I can't be in a car if anybody else is driving, okay? If I die in a car crash, it's going to be at my own hand.
    • Lorelai: You kicked his car? Luke: Oh, hey, I kicked it hard and over and over and over again. Lorelai: Oh, you beat up his car. Luke: And then, all of a sudden, these cops pull up, 'cause some busybody in the neighborhood saw some lunatic attacking a car, and, well, you know the rest. Lorelai: Did Nicole see you? Luke: I don't know. I don't know what she and the sock man saw. It's just... God, I feel like such an idiot. I mean, suddenly I became like one of those guys that gets jealous and, you know, does crazy things. Lorelai: Yeah, you weren't "like" one of those guys. You were one of those guys. Luke: Yeah, well... Lorelai: Was there any damage? Luke: No. (gets out of the Jeep) Lorelai: Luke... (following him) Hey, Luke, where are you going? Luke: See? Nothing- not a scratch. Those stupid dent-resistant panels. Lorelai: This is the car? Luke: Yes, this is the car. He sat there. She sat there. They got out there, walked up there. I jumped out there, ran up here, was handcuffed there, was driven off there. I went to jail. And you drove all the way up here to get me... and they are still in there! Lorelai: Oh, Luke. Luke: I mean, I can't believe they're still in there. What are they doing? Lorelai: Luke, come on. Luke: I know what they're doing. But even if you took one of those pills that they were hawking at the super bowl, you know, they should have been done in four or five hours, tops. I mean, that commercial said it all- "If you're still active after four hours, you should call a damn doctor.
    • Lorelai: Okay. You know what Kirk, this has been really fun, but I think we'll just hoof it the rest of the way. Kirk: But the ride wasn't over yet. Rory: Yeah, but we don't want to hog the cab. Lorelai: 'Cause there's only one. Rory: But we'll tell our friends. Kirk: What was wrong with the ride? Lorelai: Nothing. I mean it's great for tourists who are new to the town and want to make sure they don't miss a thing. Kirk: I wasn't going that slow. Lorelai: No, you just maybe need a little more training before tourist season kicks in. You know, take a spinning class. Or buy some legs. Rory: Sorry. Kirk: You will be sorry. You'll be sorry you turned down a chance to ride in Star's Hollow's first... Rory: Now he's going to hate us forever. Lorelai: No he's not. He's just going to hate us until something shiny comes by. Kirk: (peddling by) Well, well well. I guess it wasn't me that was slowing things down. Guess it was my big fat cargo! Rory: Hey! Kirk: Freshman fifteen! Lorelai: Kirk! Kirk: Can't wait to get my doughnut! Lorelai: Stay away form my doughnut Kirk! I mean it! It's my doughnut.
    • Jason: Here, eat this before it gets cold. Lorelai: You made French toast? Jason: Well, I had a lot of energy after my run, so... Lorelai: You went running? Jason: Well, I had to wait for the laundry to dry. And I had already read the papers. Lorelai: You had an entire day before I woke up. Jason: Here, you want bacon? Lorelai: You went out and slaughtered a pig between the running and the French toast? Jason: Yes, and by the way, that whole ozone-layer problem... taken care of. Lorelai: You're my Green Party hero!
    • Lorelai: No falling out of windows. Rory: Not even a first floor one. Lorelai: And don't drink. And after you're done not drinking, drink tons of water and take two aspirin before you go to bed.
    • Lorelai: (finds Rory's swimsuit) Aha! Bathing suit. Now we just have to find the wimple that goes with it.
    • Rory: Mom, where's my bathing suit? Lorelai: Do you even have a bathing suit? Rory: Of course I do! Lorelai: When was the last time you wore it? Rory: I don't know. Lorelai: Does it include rubber duckies? Rory: No!... I don't think.
    • Luke: (on answering machine) Hey , it's Luke. I'm sorry to be calling you like this, but I was wondering if when you get this message if you could come pick me up, 'cause I need a ride. I'm in Lichtfield, the corner of Mason and pine. It's a big white building, you'll recognize it by the police sign outside, 'cause oh hell, I'm in jail. Okay there I said it. It's a long story, I'll tell you when you get here. Thanks, if you come. Oh, one more thing I need to borrow a little money 300 bucks, it's just a loan, oh hell, it's for my bail.
    • Paris: Excuse me for thinking a banana eating contest was about eating a banana!
    • Rory: But it's spring break. It's girls gone wild and boys doing the twist!
    • Rory: Okay, forget I said 'giant Q-tips'. They're not hitting each other with giant Q-tips. Lorelai: But now I can't get 'giant Q-tips' out of my head. It's too powerful a visual.
    • Girl: Is it raining out? Paris: (drenched) No, it's National Baptism Day! Get your tubes tied!

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Rory: He looked, he saw, he changed his mind. This is a play on the famous quote by Julius Caesar: "veni, vidi, vici" which translates as "I came, I saw, I conquered".
    • Rory: So the person is David Caruso? David Caruso plays Lieutenant Horatio Caine on the CBS drama CSI: Miami, which follows crime scene investigators as they examine evidence to solve crimes.
    • Lorelai:...or taking off with some surfers to find the perfect wave and not inviting me. This quote is actually alluding to Endless Summer, a surfing documentary made in 1966 by Bruce Brown. They go all over the world in search for the perfect wave. Billabong Odyssey (2001) is about high profile big wave surfers in search for the biggest wave. Some participants in the project were the Santa Cruz boys, Layne Beachley, Shane Dorian, Brad Gerlach, and Ken Bradshaw
    • Paris: I shaved 3 hours off the Mapquest estimate. Mapquest is an online site that gives the quickest route to wherever you are going along with an estimate of how long it should take.
    • Lorelai: You did not spend spring break with Bill Moyers! "The Power of Myth" is a series of interviews journalist Bill Moyers conducted with renowned scholar Joseph Campbell on the role of myth in the understanding of how society functions. Think of it as a post-grad My Dinner with Andre -- exactly the sort of material that would captivate Rory and Paris.
