In this episode, Paris says that she can't believe she just missed her first "ask out". This actually isn't the first time she had been asked out. In Season 1, Episode 18, "The Third Lorelai, at Rory's urging Tristan asked Paris out and they went to dinner and a movie.
Although Jess appears in this episode, he doesn't say anything.
Luke and Lorelai share their very first kiss in this episode, although some people may not consider it legitimate, since it is only in a dream sequence.
When Lorelai and Rory look inside of Sookie and Jackson's house you can see that the living room is dark blue. Earlier in the episode you can see that the living room is more of an orange color. Sookie was talking about painting the room to make it more "manly", but it would have taken Sookie longer than one day to paint the room and fill it with a bunch of "manly" furniture!
We learn that Luke and Lorelai have still not made up since Rory's accident several months earlier. This will be the longest they go without talking until season seven when they break up.
During the scene between Luke and Lorelai in the diner after her dinner with Richard and Emily, the same couple can be seen walking by the diner at least four times, even after they are seen walking into Miss Patty's.
When Lorelai is following Taylor around the town square after having breakfast with Sookie, you can see a clock behind two cars. The time on the clock clearly reads 5:40. Lorelai never gets up that early, and she just had breakfast so it couldn't be at night. It is also too bright out to be 5:40 in the morning.
When Rory is talking to Lorelai on the phone, if you look at the window behind Rory, you can see that it looks like it is still light out. But when the shot goes back to Lorelai, you can tell that it is dark because of the sounds of crickets in the background. It would not be dark in one place and light outside in the other if both places are on the east coast.
When Paris is freaking out, the camera switches back and forth from Rory to Paris. When the camera is on Rory, you can see the back of Paris' head and her pony tail is partially over her left shoulder. When the shot is on Paris, her pony tail is completely behind her.
When Rory is talking to Lorelai on the phone in her dorm, Rory's laptop screen is up. But when Rory goes over to her desk to look at her letter to Jess, the laptop screen is down.
When Lorelai and Rory are approaching Sookie's front door, you can see the reflection of the camera and the camera operator in the front door.
Lorelai: You're upset.
Rory: I'm not upset.
Lorelai: Yes you are. I can always tell when you're upset, because you look like my mother.
Rory: Thanks a lot!
Lorelai: What? You like my mother.
Rory: Yes, but you don't like your mother, so it's not exactly a compliment.
Paris: I can't do this.
Rory: What?
Paris: Date. I can't date. I'm not genetically set up for it.
Rory: Not true.
Paris: I get no pleasure out of the prospect or the preparation. I'm covered in hives, I've showered four times, and for what? Some guy who doesn't even have the brains to buy a Zagat so we don't wind up in a restaurant that's really just a front for a cocaine laundering ring?
Paris: For example, I can instantly deduce that when someone hears the name "Paris" in the same sentence with the word "date," jaws will drop, confused looks will cover faces, words like "how" and "why" and "Quick, Bob, get the children in the minivan because the world is obviously coming to an end." will immediately fly out of people's mouths.
Lorelai: (to Rory) Look, kid, you have gotta make up your mind. Jess, Dean, Jess, Dean – it's enough already. If you want Jess, that's fine – go get him, there he is. If you think that's the great love of your life, then great ... grab a liver treat and a squeaky toy and run to him.
Lorelai: Hey, I finally figured out how to get the "Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer" song out of our heads - just sing the "Small World" song over and over for the next forty-eight hours. Of course, how to get the "Small World" song out of our heads, I have not worked out yet.
Luke: Anything besides the Q-tips?
Lorelai: Hmm, cotton balls, world peace, Connie Chung's original face back.
Rory: Hello, living room.
Lorelai: (in a squeaky voice) Hello Rory. We missed you. (normal voice) Not the ottoman, of course, but everyone knows he's a snob. Napoleon complex. He only likes the magazine rack.
Lorelai: If you decided you really did want to date Jess, I would help you -- (Rory gives her a look) -- get vaccinated.
Rory: I'm never leaving home again!
Lorelai: Aww, that's my emotionally stunted girl!
Luke: Is that so bad? You've got friends, you've got a house, a job, apparently an iron stomach.
Lorelai: No, it's not so bad. I'm lucky I know. I just, I feel like I'm never gonna have it. The whole package, you know. That person, that couple life. And I swear, I hate admitting it because I fancy myself Wonder Woman but I really want it. The whole package.
Luke: You'll get it.
Lorelai: How do you know?
Lorelai: Hey Rory, I don't want you to freeze out your dad because I am.
Rory: I'm not.
Lorelai: Because I'm fine if you want to go back to the way things were.
Rory: I think that would be a little hard this time.
Lorelai: Okay, maybe not now, but eventually.
Rory: Eventually, maybe but for now, solidarity sister.
Lorelai: Ya-ya!
Rory: You've been waiting 6 weeks to do that haven't you?
Lorelai: Ya-ya!
Rory: Jamie just asked you out on a date.
Paris: He did?
Rory: Yes
Paris: Did I accept?
Rory: Yes.
Paris: I'm going out on a date?
Rory: Yes you are.
Paris: Oh man, I finally get asked out on a date and I missed it. Was it a good ask out?
Rory: It was a very good ask out.
Paris: God I wish I'd been there.
Jamie: So, where's Paris?
Rory: Not quite sure. Last time I saw her she was beating the will to live out of our nation's representatives.
Jamie: She is a hammer isn't she?
Rory: Actually, she is an entire tool box.
(Paris arrives)
Paris: Damn, I always seem to catch the most interesting politicians right when they have to use the bathroom.
(Lorelai calling Rory in Washington after another dream)
Lorelai: He kissed me and talked to my stomach!
Rory: Why would he do that?
Lorelai: Because apparently I'm pregnant!
Rory: What?
Lorelai: With twins. (silenece) Say something.
Rory: You are going to be so fat.
Lorelai: Just analyze the dream, please.
Rory: Okay. Well, your dream was telling you that you are secretly in love with Luke and you wanna marry him and have his twins.
Lorelai: I wonder if Sherry's baby will end up looking like me.
Rory: If the kid knows what's good for it, I'm sure it will.
Lorelai: Rory, what are you doing?
Rory: What do you mean what am I doing? I'm ranting! You should recognize it, I learned it from you.
Paris: Get in the closet.
Rory: What? You're crazy.
Paris: If there's no one to compare me to, I might have a fighting chance.
Rory: Okay but when we get home, get a new therapist because the one you have isn't working.
Lorelai: (to Rory) Do you sometimes think this town is weird or is it just me?
Paris: What if I fall for him but he doesn't like me?
Rory: You'll find someone else.
Paris: What if there is no one else?
Rory: Then you'll get some cats.
Paris: (struggling with her hair) That's it, I'm shaving my head.
Michel: Oh good, just in time. Kirk here is about to tell us the difference between cows and humans.
Lorelai: And all this time I thought you were with Dean!
Rory: I am with Dean!
Lorelai: Running off and kissing another guy is not 'being with Dean.' Ask him, I bet he'd back me up on that!
Lorelai: I'm lying in bed and I'm sleeping and I'm wearing this fabulous nightgown, and like thirty alarm clocks go off, and so I get out of bed and I walk downstairs, and there, standing is the kitchen, is Luke!
Rory: Was he naked?
Lorelai: No! He was making breakfast.
Rory: Naked?
Lorelai: Okay, you've been in Washington way too long.
Lorelai: I got here early and there was nothing to do except feed gummy bears to the bomb-sniffing dogs which, apparently, the United States government frowns upon.
Rory: You got in trouble with the government while you were waiting for me?
Lorelai: Just a little.
Rory: How much is a little?
Lorelai: Learn Russian.
Rory: So, how was dinner?
Lorelai: So, how was Dean?
Rory: So, how was dinner?
Lorelai: So, how was Dean?
Rory: Ladies and gentlemen, the Williams sisters take center stage at Wimbledon once again.

This is a reference to a statement Bill Clinton made when questioned about his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.
Luke: (to Lorelai's belly) Goodbye, Sid and Nancy.
Lorelai: Leopold and Loeb. I changed my mind, don't tell Rory.

Paris: Do you really think it looks good to have the American secretary of the treasury traveling around with Bono? I mean, why not just send Carson Daly over to the Middle East next time Cheney goes, huh? Or hey, hook up Freddie Prinze Jr. with Colin Powell next time he meets with NATO.
Bono is the lead singer of U2.
Carson Daly is a talk show host.
Freddie Prinze Jr. is a movie and TV actor.
Rory: I got to see Archie Bunker's chair at the Smithsonian Museum...
Archie and Edith Bunker's chairs from the television sitcom All in the Family are on view in a showcase with other television memorabilia at the National Museum of American History Behring Center, part of the Smithsonian Institution (not Smithsonian Museum).
Paris: They give up careers and become alcoholics, and if you're Sunny von Bülow, wind up in a coma, completely incapable of stopping Glenn Close from playing you in a movie.
Sunny von Bulow was a socialite who slipped into a coma on December 21, 1980. It was alleged that her husband, Claus von Bulow, administered an insulin injection which caused the coma. Sunny was portrayed by Glenn Close in the 1990 film Reversal of Fortune. She died December 6, 2008 after being in a coma for twenty-eight years.
Sookie: (holding up a frilly lamp) What do you think? Manly?
Lorelai: In an Oscar Wilde sort of way, absolutely.
Oscar Wilde was a famous 19th-century writer and one of the first openly gay celebrities of modern times.
Sookie: So, how are you planning on telling them?
Lorelai: I thought I'd do it like Nell -- you know, "Chicka chicka chicka bee."
Reference to the movie Nell (1994)in which Jodie Foster plays a socially isolated Appalachian girl who speaks in her own invented language.
Lorelai: You're not seriously telling me the future of your marriage depends on Leon Troutsky over there. (gestures at a mounted trout trophy)

Lorelai: Yes
Rory: The doctor is in.
