Quotes 

• Lorelai Gilmore : Hi, Dad. It's Lorelai.

  Emily Gilmore : Lorelai?

  Lorelai Gilmore : Mom?

  Richard Gilmore : Emily?

  Emily Gilmore : Richard?

  Lorelai Gilmore : Rowan? Martin?

  Richard Gilmore : Lorelai called me, Emily.

  Emily Gilmore : She did? What for?

  Richard Gilmore : I don't know, she hasn't told me yet.

  Emily Gilmore : Lorelai, why did you call your father?

  Lorelai Gilmore : Well I just wanted to know how he was doing.

  Richard Gilmore : I'm doing fine.

  Lorelai Gilmore : Very glad to hear that.

  Richard Gilmore : All right. It's good of you to check in.

  Emily Gilmore : Goodbye, Lorelai.

  Lorelai Gilmore : Whoa, guys, wait.

  Richard Gilmore : Is there more?

  Lorelai Gilmore : More than the nothing there just was? Yes, there's more.

• Lorelai Gilmore : I just wanted to tell you that there was no mistake with your Yale check.

  Richard Gilmore : There wasn't?

  Lorelai Gilmore : No, um, they sent you back your check because Yale has already been paid for.

  Emily Gilmore : By whom?

  Lorelai Gilmore : By Christopher.

  Emily Gilmore : Christopher who?

  Lorelai Gilmore : Christopher Isherwood. That "cabaret" money was burning a hole in his pocket. You know what Christopher, Mom... His grandfather passed away recently and left him some money and he just wanted to do something for Rory. He's trying to be a dad for once. I thought it seemed like a good idea.

  [Emily slams down the phone] 

  Lorelai Gilmore : Hello? Guys, are you there?

  Richard Gilmore : [deflated]  I'm here, Lorelai. Your mother had to go.

  Lorelai Gilmore : Oh, Dad, please don't read too much into this. I mean, when was the last time Christopher wanted to do anything for Rory? He wants to contribute. This is a good thing... This is not a snub, dad, I swear. Rory and I are so grateful for everything you and mom have done, all the help you've given her. She would not be in Yale right now if it weren't for you and she would never have gone to Chilton. She would have graduated Stars Hollow High and then gone to community college and then beauty school.

  Richard Gilmore : I have to go, Lorelai.

  Lorelai Gilmore : Dad!

  Richard Gilmore : I appreciate the phone call. I simply wish it had come before I called every person in the bursar's office a moron.

  Lorelai Gilmore : Well... if it will make you feel any better, odds are, at least two of them truly deserved it.
