Quotes 

• [after Jess admits a swan attacked him] 

  Luke : I've just never heard anyone use "beaked" as a verb before.

• Luke : [Lorelai comes down the stairs from the apartment in the diner, she needed a book]  Find everything ok?

  Lorelai : Oh yeah, found everything, including a couple coupling.

  Luke : Oh Rory and Jess?

  Lorelai : No Ben and J LO, yes Rory and Jess.

  Luke : Guess I shoulda told ya.

  Lorelai : You knew they were up there?

  Luke : They're up there all the time.

  Lorelai : On the couch. Horizontal. On the couch.

  Luke : They come up for air every so often.

  Lorelai : And you just allow this? Luke!

  Luke : Settle down, I go up there every 10 minutes pretending to get something to keep them from doing something we don't want them to do. You just going up there just down saved me a trip.

  Lorelai : Glad to be of service.

  Luke : It's a good system. It works.

  Lorelai : Every 10 minutes?

  Luke : Like clock work.

  Lorelai : Even if you're serving a customer, it's every 10 minutes?

  Luke : If I'm in mid-pour, I stop and go up.

  Lorelai : [ponders about that]  Hmm, 10 minutes. Yup, pretty much the time it took to create Rory. And that included getting dressed and freshing my lipstick.

  [turns to walk away] 

  Lorelai : Thanks for the book!

  Luke : [turns to chef]  Ceaser, cover for me.

  [then proceeds to run upstairs] 

• Luke : Where'd you get the black eye?

  Jess Mariano : You wouldn't believe it.

  Luke : Try me, tough guy.

  Jess Mariano : A swan.

  Luke : Excuse me?

  Jess Mariano : I was attacked by a swan. Okay, you happy? A stupid swan.

  Luke : -laughs- Now, how about the real story?

  Jess Mariano : That is the real story. It hangs out by Larson's dock. I was just walking by, and the thing came out of nowhere and beaked me right in the eye.

  Luke : It "beaked" you.

  Jess Mariano : You still don't believe me.

  Luke : I've just never heard the word "beaked" used as a verb before.

• Luke : [said sarcastically about a beautiful, white swan that Jess claims attacked him:]  Yes, its butt is terrifying.
