Season 1
Season 2

{Season 1 and 2 list of moments made by Erin}

Lorelai: I think you’re a great, cool kid and the best friend a girl could have.
Rory: Right back at ya. ("Rory's Birthday Parties")

-------
Lorelai: I would like to propose a toast to the one thing in my life that is always good, always sweet, and without whom I would have no reason to get up in the morning. My pal Rory. Cheers! ("Rory's Birthday Parties")

-------
Lorelai: Rory is my life. She’s my pal. My everything. And I would never ever do anything that would hurt her. ("Cinnamon's Wake")

-------
Rory: But my ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the dazzling woman from whom I received my name and my life's blood, Lorelai Gilmore. My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her. Thank you Mom, you are my guidepost for everything. ("Those are Strings, Pinocchio")

(list of quotes above made by the wonderful people in the Lorelai and Rory thread on the Alexis Bledel board)

-------
Lorelai: Made me imagine, you know, what its going to be like after she leaves. It's going to be hard to be without her. ("Gilmore Girls Only")

-------
Rory: When's soon?
Lorelai: When the big hand hits the "S" and the little hand hits the "OON." ("Hammers and Veils")

-------
Rory: I don't get it.
Lorelai: What?
Rory: How can you be so okay with everything? Ever since I've told you that I'm leaving, you're just all busy with shopping and packing, and you seem fine with it.
Lorelai: [Sighs] It's too soon.
Rory: What?
Lorelai: If I stop to think about you leaving now, I'm gonna fall apart. We still have time left. It's too soon.("Bon Voyage")
-------
Rory: To my mom, who is just everything to me and everything I am and who I'm gonna miss so much. ("Bon Voyage")

-------
Rory: Mom…You've given me everything I need.
Lorelai: [Sighs] Okay. ("Bon Voyage")
