Goofs:

Continuity: When Rory sits at Luke's with Lane and eats the coffee cake that Luke has made for her birthday (and that seems to be too light to be a coffee cake), she, Lane and the cake are shown from different ankles during their conversation. But the cake looks slightly different each time. Once there is a piece missing, but from another ankle it is complete again. Furthermore the piece on Rory's plate enlarges while she watches Dean ordering coffee. It would not have made sense for her to get a new piece because she has hardly eaten anything, and the old one had still been on the plate before the camera swung away.

Quotes:

Lorelai: Who the hell rings a doorbell at a party? Bring your ass in here.
