Gilmore Girls: I'm a Kayak, Hear Me Roar

At Friday night dinner, Lorelai finally decides to tell her parents that her marriage to Christopher has fallen apart, but doesn't get a chance to when an argument breaks out over Emily's new healthy, no-alcohol meals to help Richard recover from his heart attack. Lorelai gets Sookie to cook healthy and tasteful meals for Richard and Lorelai helps Emily with Richard's various business affairs. While helping her mother, Lorelai finally admits to Emily that her marriage to Christopher is over. Meanwhile, Rory attends Logan's birthday dinner and has an awkward encounter with Mitchum who asks Rory to keep Logan on track.

Episode Quotes
Rory: I guess his dad called and wants to take us out to a birthday dinner tonight.
Lorelai: That sounds like a load of laughs.
Rory: Yeah, Mitchum. That man is fundamentally incapable of making me feel anything but small and awful.
Lorelai: Now that’s not true. He’s made you feel incompetent, too.

Rory: So, who else knows?
Lorelai: Nobody. That’s it. Well, you and the Quickie Mart guy.
Rory: You told the Quickie Mart guy?
Lorelai: I was upset. I was standing by the magazines. I didn't want him to think I was verklempt over Nicole Richie.

Emily: (about Richard) The doctor said there's no reason he can't go back to his normal routine, as long as he doesn't do anything too strenuous--and it's not as if sitting down and eating dinner with one's family requires a great deal of effort.
Lorelai: Well, you're right.

Logan: So somebody’s pretty into this whole birthday thing.
Rory: Well if by "birthday thing," you mean the celebration of the miracle of your birth, the anniversary of the day when this world went from being a world without Logan Huntzberger to a world with Logan Huntzberger, then, yes, I'm pretty into it.
Logan: You really love me, don't you?
Rory: Well, you're okay.

Lorelai: I come bearing drugs.
Emily: Please don’t bellow that.
Lorelai: Bellow what? (louder) Drugs?!

Logan: It's okay. You know, it just happened okay. You got Huntzburgered. That’s what my dad does to people. He's a master manipulator. You sit down with him, and you have your own opinions, but by the time you stand up, you hear yourself agreeing with him. And you stagger away confused and slightly queasy.



Episode Goofs
In past episodes, Paris has put a heavy emphasis on apartment security and even installed five locks on the door. However, in this episode she leaves the door unlocked at 6 in the morning.



Cultural References
Episode Title: I'm a Kayak, Hear Me Roar

"I'm a Kayak, Hear Me Roar" is a take on the lyric "I am woman, hear me roar" from the feminist anthem "I Am Woman". The song was written by Helen Reddy and Ray Burton and performed by Reddy.

Lorelai: This house is a giant Skinner box with Chippendale chairs.

B. F. Skinner was a psychologist who focused on the field of behavioral psychology. He often used operant conditioning chambers and performed his experiments with rats. A Chippendale chair is piece of furniture made by Thomas Chippendale.

Lorelai: I was upset. I was standing by the magazines. I didn't want him to think I was verklempt over Nicole Richie.

"Verklempt" is a Yiddish word meaning disheveled. On the Saturday NIght Live sketch Coffee Talk with Linda Richman, which featured actor Mike Myers, Linda would often use the phrase "I'm all verklempt" or "I'm a little verklempt".
