^ The monologue is in the episode before the kiss. It's when Lorelai gets back home after her graduation that Rory has missed because she was late getting back from New York. She basically goes on about how the whole night she was sitting on the bus next to a guy who was spitting into a can and she kept thinking about the myriad of ways she should be punished for missing Lorelai's big day and how she even forgot the album she bought for Lorelai as a gift and it was signed by Belinda but she can find another one and that's going on the list, too. Then she rambles on about how this behavior is not like her at all, and maybe she had a stroke: "What does a stroke feel like?" Lorelai: "Not good, probably."

That is one of my most-watched scenes, probably.
