When Rory tells Logan she loves him, and then says she doesn't expect anything, telling him of a time when someone said 'I love you' to her and she wasn't expecting it, she is referring to Dean and their first breakup, when Dean told her he loved her and she didn't reply. I could also be a reference to when, in season 4, Jess told Rory that he loved her, got in his car and drove away, while Rory was in shock.
When Richard and Emily are seperated in Season 5, the girls snoop in the poolhouse for information on Richard, and Rory shows concern about this. In this episode, Richard and Emily go into the poolhouse for information about Rory, and Richard shows concern about it.
When Richard brings the dollhouse to Lorelai, you notice that is the same house that Mrs. Kim had in the store when Lane is talking to her. Mrs. Kim even made a joke about the dolls in the house in the season 5 episode "A House is Not a Home".
How is it possible that the alternative street names Taylor suggests predate even Stars Hollow's founding? Explanation: This is possible as long as those names were kept once the city was founded.
Why was Taylor running the town meeting although Jackson has been elected as the new Town Selectman?
Discussing the name "Sores and Boils Alley"
Michel: You know what this means. Don't you?
Lorelai: It means nothing
Sookie: It means my next review will be in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Sookie contemplating acceptable alternatives for "Sores and Boils Alley".
Sookie: Why couldn't it be something that did'nt ooze or run? Like a wort or a bunion, bunions are okay. They're sort of onions mixed with buns and that's sort of appetizing if you don't think to hard.
Michel: You have coffee Luke: You mean here at my coffee shop? Yeah. Michel: Give it!
Emily: Have you seen Logan around lately, Richard? Richard: No, I haven't. Emily: Neither have I. I wonder where he is. Richard: School, work. He's young, young people are busy. Emily: I know that, but I haven't seen him in days. (The doorbell rings) Conzuela, get the door. Conzuela? Now where is she? She's proabalby harvesting sugar cane in the garden. (Leaves) Richard: Maybe Conzuela and Logan have run off together.
Sookie: This is just like in Spanish class when you get your Spanish name! Lorelai: What was yours? Sookie: Sookia, I don't think its an actual Spanish name, I think they just put an "a" on the end.
Richard: (arriving with Lorelai's old dollhouse) I thought you'd want this. Lorelai: Thanks. I do. Richard: And...we need to talk about Rory.
Logan: I'm sorry but there isn't a bag inside the bag inside the bag inside the box inside the bag.
Rory: Logan's very nice, he bought me this terrific gift just completely out of the blue. Emily: Is that so? Rory: Totally unexpected. It's called a Birkin bag. Emily: A Birkin bag? Oh my God. A Birkin bag? Rory: You've heard of it? Emily: Of course! That's a very nice purse. Rory: Oh, maybe I shouldn't use it. Emily: Oh no, a Birkin bag is meant to be used. And seen. Rory: I had no idea. Emily: Well, well, well, a Birkin bag. A Birkin bag, a Birkin bag for Rory. Rory: Grandma.. Emily: I'm just saying. I mean Richard never bought me a Birkin bag. Oh, this is exciting! Rory: I guess it is! Emily: A Birkin bag! I'm gonna remember this day.
Logan: This cloak and dagger stuff can be a little tricky if you don't own a dagger...and you look funny in a cloak.
Rory: Wow, you made good time. Logan: Silly, rabbit. Speed limits are for kids.
Rory: I love you. Logan: Wow. The lady who sold that purse to me said this was gonna happen.
Lane: So, what's going on in the world? Lorelai: Nothing. Lane: Nothing? Lorelai: Good. Nothing good. There's absolutely nothing positive going on anywhere in the world. How could that be? Lane: That's why I don't read the paper anymore. Lorelai: You will mine. I am starting my own. The Good News Daily -- nothing but good news every day. Lane: Sounds good. Lorelai: "No civil war in Canada" -- big article. "Cars drive down road without incident" -- front-page news. "Puppies -- how cute are they?" In-depth exposé. And the subscription is free. How happy is that? Lane: I'm in a better mood.
Luke: You want some coffee? Lorelai: I'm beyond coffee. Luke: Beyond coffee. This is big. Lorelai: I'm fueled by my righteous indignation, I'll fill you in later.
Richard: They had a small fire there last week. Emily: They had a fire!? Richard: Well don't get excited. Emily: Is Lorelai okay? Richard: She's fine. Emily: Did you talk to her? Richard: I talked to her. Emily: You talked to her. Richard: Yes Emily, she had a small fire. Emily: Well how did she sound? Richard: Just like she'd had a small fire. It was a very quick face to face, and then I left. Emily: Face to face? You saw her face to face? Richard: Well I had to go over there. Emily: Why did you have to go over there? Richard: Because Emily, she'd just had a small fire. Emily: How did she look? Richard: Fine. Emily: Was she thin, heavy? Did she look tired? What was she wearing? And is she still in that nether-world of "I don't know what my hair is supposed to be?"
Lorelai: Sorry, I'm late. I found Paul Anka hiding underneath the kitchen sink, chewing on one of my favorite pairs of shoes. Sookie: Boy, that guy's career has really hit the skids.
(Logan is visiting Rory at the pool house with a big orange shopping bag) Rory: For me? Logan: For you. Rory: Wow, what's the occasion? Logan; Where is it written I need an occasion. Rory: Wow, you did it. You brought me the head of Alfredo Garcia. Logan: Open it, Ace. Rory: Wow, cool a bag. Logan: Look inside! Rory: Ok. Wow, cool a bag! (Rory looks inside the bag) Logan: I'm sorry but there isn't a bag inside the bag inside the bag inside the box inside the bag. (When they're ready to go, Rory grabs her old small purse, so she can put all the stuff inside her new purse. Then she sees that the new purse is so big, she puts the whole old purse in her new big one) Rory: Let's go.
Rory: Logan, it's ok. You can use the front door. Logan: No, this is cool. I got a tree stump I can use as a boost out here...or you can let down your hair.
Lorelai: For days, she's been emptying her house, sending me everything she doesn't need anymore, trying to smoke me out of my foxhole. Luke: Well, call her and tell her to knock it off. Lorelai: Oh no, that's exactly what she wants. I poke my head out of the foxhole, it gets blown off. Then I have no head, Luke.
Lorelai: We are the Inn on 'Sores and Boils Alley'. Michel: Oozing, festering. Sookie: Draining.
Lorelai: Kiss? Luke: I'm too mad.
Emily: (as she and Richard snoop through Rory's things) Oh don't worry, I used to do this all the time with Lorelai. One time I opened the drawer and it was chockfull of Tootsie Rolls. Hundreds and hundreds practically spilling out. What could a girl possibly want with a drawer full of Tootsie Rolls? Richard: Perhaps it was what was under the Tootsie Rolls? Emily: Under the Tootsie Rolls? Oh my God I should have looked under the Tootsie Rolls. Oh that is going to bother me.
Emily: (about Rory) Logan bought her the most beautiful and prestigious handbag in the world. Richard: A handbag? Emily: A Birkin bag! I've shown you pictures before? Around my birthday? So sophisticated.
Lorelai: Oh my God, I made it. Me, food, give. Luke: BLT emergency? Lorelai: Chili fries and black & white milkshake emergency.
Logan: If I'm not back in 5 minutes I'm probably in the big house picking out china patterns with Emily.
Richard: The apple doesn't fall very far from the tree. Logan: Not if the tree has anything to do about it.
