- Rory: Because sometimes you have something you need to say, but you can't because the words won't come out, or you get scared, or you feel stupid. But if you could write a song and sing it, then you could say what needed to say, and it would be beautiful, and people would listen, and you wouldn't make a complete idiot out of yourself. But all of us can't be song writers, so some of us will never get the chance to say what we're thinking, or what we want other people to know that we're thinking, so we'll never get the chance to make things right again ever... So give this guy a license!

- Luke Danes: Breaking into the back door.

- Luke Danes: It's the only way I could get in!
- Lorelai Gilmore: You have crossed over into the dark side, Luke!
- Luke Danes: [Puts his toolbox down on the desk that he accidentally left at Lorelai's house] So, Rachel left.
- Lorelai Gilmore: What?
- Luke Danes: Last night, she left, for good.
- Lorelai Gilmore: Oh, Luke, I'm so sorry.
- Luke Danes: Yeah well she had her own thoughts.
