LORELAI: I'm not perfect, okay? People make mistakes. I mean, Gwyneth Paltrow dyed her hair that dark brown. It was very unflattering. If she's not perfect, how do you expect me to be?

RORY: You know what, mom? If you're heartbroken, rent "An Affair to Remember," have a good cry, and drown your sorrows in a pint of ice cream. You get a hideously unflattering breakup haircut. You don't sleep with dad.

LANE: Maybe someday, but not now. I have a picture in my head of me as a mother. You know, I can imagine it, and in that picture, I'm wearing a skirt and heels, and my hair is up in a bun. I'm pushing one of those fancy British baby carriages that are called silver surfers or something.
RORY: Very Madonna in her British-mommy phase.

RORY: You don't have to be perfect. I mean, even Gwyneth Paltrow makes mistakes, like "Shallow Hal" and that other movie that nobody saw where she played a stewardess. So who's perfect? Nobody. Not even mothers.

RORY: And, already, you are way ahead of a lot of people as far as parenting skills go, like Britney. Britney Spears does not know which end of a baby goes up. And Courtney Love? She's no LIZ: And then, when you found out you had a daughter, you never told her. That's not normal, Luke. That's not how people in a healthy relationship act. It's like that space-time-continuum thing. You're on a plane over here, and she's on this plane over there, and you were both never here nor there at the same time.

Lane:I wonder if Blanket ever met Tom and Katie's baby, Pillow.
Rory:Yeah, that would be a perfect playdate.
Lane:Yeah, when it's nap time, they would be totally set.
Rory:And then they could invite Gwyneth's Apple over afterward for a little snack.
Lane:And Banjo, Rachel Griffiths' baby could play for them.
Rory:And then they could all jump in Mia Farrow's Satchel and make fun of what's-his-face?
Lane:Oh, Pilot Inspektor Lee

T.J.: It's like string theory.
LUKE: String Theory, what do you know about string theory?
T.J.: Don't underestimate me, Luke. I read. And I watch "Battlestar Galactica."

LIZ: You were on different planes. It could have worked out if there was a wormhole between your plane and her plane.
LUKE: We didn't need a wormhole.
LIZ:It was like that movie with, um, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
T.J.: Exactly!
LIZ: Yeah.
T.J.: Oh, yes! Exactly, exactly!
LIZ: You're living in the same house, man, but you are a couple years apart in the space-time continuum.
T.J.: What house? It was a bus. Oh! I thought you were talking about "Speed." "Speed" applies, too.
