* Luke, in his exhaustion and delirium over [[spoiler:Lorelai fleeing to California to figure herself out]] is swamped with people in the diner because someone figured out the [=WiFi=] password. Jess, seeing how scarily quiet the diner and how overwhelmed Luke is, just yanks out the router and tosses it to Luke as he leaves.
-->'''Jess''': You didn't give me that password for ''six months'' and I lived here.

* Emily verbally eviscerating Mrs. Huntzberger in season 6.6, in the episode "We've Got Magic to Do." Here's the whole scene, truly a sight to behold.
-->'''Emily:''' So Richard tells me we have a little problem.\\
'''Shira:''' Really? With what?\\
'''Emily:''' With the kids. Logan, Rory. I understand you're not exactly thrilled with the match, that you let that be known to Rory at the dinner she had at your house.\\
'''Shira:''' Oh, well, I wouldn't say "not thrilled".\\
'''Emily:''' Then what would you say?\\
'''Shira:''' Oh, Emily, this is a party.\\
'''Emily:''' I'm just curious.\\
'''Shira:''' This may not be the time and place, Emily.\\
'''Emily:''' ''(to two guests walking by)'' Hello, you two, drop by our table later. ''(back to Shira)'' Let's make it the time and place.\\
'''Shira:''' Consider the discrepancies, Emily.\\
'''Emily:''' Well, that's what's confusing me. They both come from good families, both have good values. Money doesn't seem to be an issue. We all have money.\\
'''Shira:''' Frankly, Emily, there's ''your'' money, then there's ''our'' money.\\
'''Emily:''' Oh?\\
'''Shira:''' And our family has a lot of responsibilities that come with that. An image to maintain.\\
'''Emily:''' Ah, yes! Well let me tell you this, Shira. We are just as good as you are. You don't think Rory is good enough for your son, as if we don't know Logan's reputation. We do. But he is welcome in our home anytime, and you should extend the same courtesy to Rory.\\
'''Shira:''': Emily...\\
'''Emily:''' Now let's talk about ''your'' money. ''You'' were a two-bit gold digger, fresh off the bus from Hicksville when you met Mitchum at whatever bar you happened to stumble into. And what made Mitchum decide to choose you to marry amongst the ''pack'' of women he was bedding at the time, I'll never know. But hats off to you for bagging him. He's still a playboy, you know? Well, of course you know. That would explain why your weight goes up and down 30 pounds every other month. But that's your cross to bear. But these are ugly realities. No one needs to talk about them. Those kids are staying together for as long as they like. You won't stop them. Now, enjoy the event.

* Rory ripping into Mitchum over the phone for not coming to see Logan in the hospital.
-->"I just thought I’d call and remind you that Logan is lying in a hospital bed with a partially collapsed lung and a whole host of other potentially life-threatening injuries. And I’m figuring a guy like you, surrounded by nothing but a bunch of terrified sycophants might not have someone in his life with the guts to tell him what an incredibly selfish, narcissistic ass he’s being, so I thought I’d jump on in. Swallow your pride, get in your car, and ''come down here and see your son, '''now'''''!"

You are the luckiest man on the planet to have a girl like that looking out for you and caring about you, and if you say so much as one unkind word to her, I'm gonna personally break every bone in your body.
