LORELAI: Come on Luke I can really help you here.
LORELAI: I’m not saying you can’t, I know you're an expert, but I need to do this. Then do it. I'm just saying, let me be part of it.
LUKE: No.
LORELAI: Why?
LUKE: Because it's too soon.
LORELAI: Why is it too soon?
LUKE: Because the minute you get involved in her life, it'll be all over for me.
LORELAI: What that's ridiculous.
LUKE: No, it's not ridiculous. You're colorful and funny. You're practically a cartoon character. Kids love you. I wouldn't hang out with me either after meeting you.
LORELAI: Luke!
LUKE: She'll like you better. That is just a fact.
LORELAI: No, you're her dad.
LUKE: Yes, I am her dad, and this is the way I want it to be.
LORELAI: Okay.
LUKE: I'll be a couple of minutes.
LORELAI: [Looking a little mad] I'll be right here.

RORY: Hey.
LOGAN: Hey.
RORY: You're awake.
LOGAN: Or hallucinating, pretty good hallucination.
RORY: Oh, you're awake.
LOGAN: I must look like crap.
RORY: Now I know why you never let me see you without makeup.
LOGAN: I guess maybe base jumping with very little preparation wasn't the hottest idea.
RORY: You're gonna be fine, you’re gonna make a full recovery.
LOGAN: Hey Robocop made a full recovery. Look where that led him.
RORY: This is the best hospital in the city, and the best hospital in New York city is basically the best hospital in the country, and that's basically the best hospital in the world, so all in all, you're in the best place you could be, all things considered.
LOGAN: [Groans]
RORY: Hey, what do you think you're doing? Lay down.
LOGAN: [Sighs] I'm really sorry about this.
RORY: It's okay.
LOGAN: No, it's not okay. I was showing off. I knew it wasn't safe from that cliff. I was so drunk, I was lucky I pulled my chute at all.
RORY: But you're going to be fine, and I will be here as long as you want me to be. I've located the gift shop and the good cafeteria, "good" being a relative term, and the maternity ward, in case I want to play a little practical joke, swap the newborns around.
LOGAN: What about the paper, school?
RORY: I have my laptop. I can stay on top of my schoolwork. And Bill can run the paper for a while.
LOGAN: I don't want you to fall behind, miss too many classes. You already have more than enough to do without having to see me…
RORY: Shh. Logan, just relax. Get some rest. I'll be here.
LOGAN: I'm glad.

APRIL: I don't want to extend the experience.
LUKE: Wait, is that my gift?
LORELAI: It says it's from Luke.
APRIL: The new "way things work." I was gonna get this. And a gift certificate to the discovery store. Thanks, Luke! I love it! [She gets up and hugs Luke] Thank you so much!
LUKE: You're welcome. [Too Lorelai] Thank you.

LUKE: So, what's up?
ANNA: I can't believe you did this.
LUKE: Did what?
ANNA: You said you wanted to throw her a party, Luke, you.
LUKE: I know, I did.
ANNA: No, you had your girlfriend throw her a party, a girlfriend I don’t even know a girlfriend I've never even met. This is not our agreement.
LUKE: Wow wait a minute I did throw the party. Lorelai was just helping out.
ANNA: Helping out?
LUKE: Yes.
ANNA: April said you spent the night downstairs.
LUKE: Yeah well, I spent the night in the storage room. I though it would be a little weird…
ANNA: So when you were in the storage room, your girlfriend was upstairs with the girls.
LUKE: Well yeah.
ANNA: How am I supposed to explain that to the other girls' parents? How am I supposed to tell them that I left their kids all alone with a woman I've never even met? Who does that!
LUKE: I'm sorry. I didn't think that it was gonna cause…
ANNA: If I can't trust you, Luke, this arrangement is not gonna work. April is not a sweater that you're borrowing. She's my kid. I have to know where she is and who she's with always.
LUKE: I know, I'm sorry. You can trust me, I swear.
ANNA: You know what? I am too mad. I can't even look at you.
LUKE: Anna.

ANNA: I want her to have stability.
LORELAI: Right. But Luke and I, we are engaged. We are stable.
ANNA: Engaged isn't married. People get engaged all the time.
LORELAI: Look, this is not something casual, Luke and me. This is not something we're rushing into, by any means. This has been a long time coming, a long time. This is real.
ANNA: That’s wonderful, I'm really happy for you, but that doesn't change anything. Luke just came into April's life. I'm still nervous about that. He's not a kid guy, never has been, and she's getting very attached. I need to know he's sticking around first. And then, when you're married, we'll deal with that then. I'm not trying to be a hardass here. April’s my world. I don't know if my way is the right way. I just have to go with my gut. This is how I want to do it…You said you're a single mom.
LORELAI: I have a daughter, just like you.
ANNA: You get where I'm coming from at all?
LORELAI: I really do. Anyway, thank you for hearing me out.
ANNA: Sure. It's no problem.
LORELAI: Okay. [Lorelai turns to leave]
ANNA: Hey. If it makes you feel better, she had a really great time at that party.
LORELAI: I'm glad. [Lorelai waves goodbye]
