• Lorelai: I was just trying to remember the first time we met. It must have been at Luke's, right?
• Luke: It was at Luke's, it was at lunch, it was a very busy day. The place was packed. And this person...
• Lorelai: Oh, is it me? Is it me?
• Luke: This person comes tearing into the place, in a caffeine frenzy...
• Lorelai: Ooh, it's me!
• Luke: I'm with a customer, she interrupts me, wild-eyed, begging for coffee. So I tell her to wait her turn. Then she starts following me around, talking a mile a minute, saying God knows what. Finally I turn to her, and tell her she's being annoying. Sit down, shut up, and I'll get to her when I get to her.
• Lorelai: You know, I bet she took that very well, 'cause she sounds just delightful...
• Luke: She asked me my birthday. I wouldn't tell her, she wouldn't stop talking, finally I gave in. I told her my birthday. She went and got the newspaper, opened it up to the horoscopes page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me. So I was looking at this piece of paper in my hand, and under Scorpio, she had written You will meet an annoying woman. Give her coffee, and she'll go away. So I gave her coffee.
• Lorelai: But she didn't go away!
• Luke: She told me to hold onto that horoscope, put it in my wallet, and one day it would bring me luck.
• Lorelai: Boy, I will say anything for a cup of coffee! I can't believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet? You kept this in your wallet...
• Luke: Eight years.
• Lorelai: Eight years...
