Episode Quotes |
| |
Lorelai: Independence Inn.
Emily: I need the hat rack.
Lorelai: (mysteriously) The fish flies at night!
Emily: What?
Lorelai: I don't know. Who is this?
| Emily: You were on the phone…
Richard: Long distance.
Lorelai: God?
Richard: London.
Lorelai: God lives in London?
Richard: My mother lives in London.
Lorelai: Your mother is God?
Richard: Lorelai…
Lorelai: So, God is a woman.
Richard: Lorelai…
Lorelai: And a relative! That's so cool. I am gonna totally ask for favors.
Richard: Make her stop.
Rory: Oh, that I could.
| Lorelai: Mother, Grandma is a very old woman, I highly doubt that she's going to remember everything she ever bought you.
Emily: She will remember down to the very last shrimp fork and do you know why?
Lorelai: No. (to the dog statues) Do you guys know why?
Emily: Because she doesn't just give you a present, she gives you a present and she tells you where to put it, how to use it, what it costs - for insurance purposes of course - and God forbid you should have a different opinion or you don't think it works in the space or you just get tired of waking up every morning with those horrifying animals staring at you!
Lorelai: (to the dogs) She's just upset.
Emily: Stop talking to the dogs!
| Emily: Do you know that every night at dinner the Kennedy clan would sit around the table having lively debates about everything under the sun. They would quiz each other about current events, historical events and intellectual trivia. Now the Gilmore clan is just as smart and wordly as the Kennedy's so come on someone say something.
Lorelai: Did you know that butt models make $10,000 a day?
Emily: Camelot is truly dead.
| Paris: I brought everything just in case there was some sort of hidden potential in something that I just didn't see. So?
Rory: Well you'd be one well-dressed widow.
| Lorelai: Stupid, naked angel butts. What, did David Mamet just stop by?
| Rory: I swear to God.
Paris: Are you atheist?
Rory: Excuse me?
Paris: Because that affects the validity of your swearing to God.
| Lorelai: (about the rabbit they're having for dinner) You brought it with you from London?
Trix: Yes.
Lorelai: What, did you get it a seat?
Emily: Dry ice.
Lorelai: Wow! That's inventive.
| Paris: I don't know what to wear.
Rory: Ever?
| Lorelai: There's food money on the table and I defrosted some yummy chocolate cake specially for you this morning, and I'll be home early, and did I forget anything?
Rory: Don't be mean to Grandma!
Lorelai: Yeah, yeah, yeah, already broke that record.
| Lorelai: Work.
Rory: Life.
Lorelai: Dig it man.
Rory: Peace out Humphrey.
| Lorelai: Yeah well once you're done with those little sandwiches, there's not reason to pretend you like tea anymore.
