"Stand up and finish what you started."
-Bob Harper
"As for [him], you'd think he'd be on top of the world ... But no. Have you seen him lately? Red-rimmed eyes, dirty tissues streaming from his pockets, lackluster disposition. Our golden boy appears to be in a terrible funk. Or maybe he caught a sexually transmitted disease from one of those ... tramps he's always rumored to be hooking up with. See? It doesn't pay to be too greedy."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"It was like he was finally tasting the meal he'd been looking at under the glass all those years. He wanted to savor it, but everyone else was eating so quickly, there wasn't time. And there was also this nagging feeling that he'd ordered the wrong thing."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Bitchy and stubborn and selfish and neurotic, Blair was the epitomer of high maintenance, but no matter how many times he'd f***ed up, she'd always taken him back. It usually started with a sidelong glance or an irate phone call, and then he'd show up at her door and they'd kiss and make up. But Blair wasn't sending him any if-you're-really-nice-to-me-I'll-consider-it vibes."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"It was precisely one of those awkward, mundane little moments that made her feel like most of life was just waiting for something to happen."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'She gets all grumpy when you don't come on to her, and then she complains when you don't,' Nate complained, shaking his head. 'I never understood that.' 'But as long as you let her know she's irresistible, she can't make a fuss,' Lord Marcus pointed out. 'That's what's crucial.' Nate turned his head to look at the older boy through a haze ... He'd known Blair practically since he was born. How come this guy, who'd only just met her, seemed to have her all figured out? Was it possible that he and Blair were totally incompatible? Maybe they were never actually meant to be."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She'd done everything she could do. Her fate was in someone else's hands."
-from Gossip Girl: Nothing Can Keep Us Together (Book 8) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I do not love you except because I love you."
-Pablo Neruda
"Believe in absolutely everything. Question even more and never give up. Forgive because it's empowering, and love because it's humbling. Allow someone to hurt you, because it will teach you the kind of person you don't want to be, and how great joy really is. Admire life, because in its chaos it is always teaching a great lesson."
-Unknown
All the following quotes are from Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 4 (The Deer Hunters) ...
Lorelai: "Shopping for school supplies, partay."
Rory: "Nobody demanded that you come."
Lorelai: "Are you kidding? How often do you get to do things like this? I was thinking, while we're going crazy, we should get some toilet paper and a plunger next."
Rory: "I'll just do this later."
Lorelai: "No, I'm teasing. Come on, get that list of yours."
Rory: "Okay ... I need legal pads."
Lorelai: "Got it."
Rory: "Tons of pens ..."
Lorelai: "Right."
Rory: "Some number two pencils, three highlighters, an eraser, a staple remover and a folder."
Lorelai: "You need three highlighters?"
Rory: "Yes."
Lorelai: "Three?"
Rory: "Yes."
Lorelai: "That's a very random number."
Rory: "Three is not a random number."
Lorelai: "No, but I mean, how did you get to the number three."
Rory: "One dries up, one gets lost, I have one left."
Lorelai: "You have really thought this out."
Rory: "Yes, I have."
Lorelai: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Rory: "Can we get back to this list, please?"
Lorelai: "All right. Ooh, hey, legal pads."
Rory: "No. Those are purple."
Lorelai: "Yes, purple is festive."
Rory: "I can't have purple."
Lorelai: "Yes you can, they're on sale."
Rory: "I'm going to serious school now. I need serious paper."
Lorelai: "Paper is paper."
Rory: "Not at Chilton."
Lorelai: "Fine, here is your serious paper."
Rory: "Thank you."
Lorelai: "Ooh, and here are your somber highlighters, your maudlin pencils, your manic depressive pens. Now, these erasers are on lithium, so they may seem cheerful, but we actually caught them trying to shove themselves in the pencil sharpener earlier."
Rory: "I'm going home now."
Lorelai: "No, wait. We're going to stage an intervention with the neon Post-its to make them give up their wacky, crazy ways."
Rory: "I'm never going shopping with you again."
Paris: "Not everyone can be smart. As my mother always says, somebody has to answer the phones."
Lorelai: "What is going on here? We are young fiery women! Studying? Shopping lists? Where's 'to hell with it all?' Where's throwing caution to the wind? Where's--oh, shoot! The linen delivery."
Rory: "You go girl."
Mama Kim (to Rory eating a Snickers bar): "That is chocolate-covered death."
Rory: "With a creamy caramel surprise."
Lorelai (just drank a sip of coffee): "Jesus, Mary, Joseph and a camel. (Other parents look at her.) This is really bad coffee!"
Lorelai (in a parent meeting): "I just thought I'd like to see the excitement."
Random dad: "It's a test."
Lorelai: "Yeah, I know."
Random dad: "What's exciting about a test?"
Lorelai: "Do you play golf?"
Random dad: "Yes I do."
Lorelai: "You explain yours, I'll explain mine."
Luke: "You look like you need pie."
Rory: "I do?"
Luke: "Violent pencil tossing usually signals the need for pie."
Rory: "What if I'd thrown a pen?"
Luke: "I would've brought you a trout."
Rory: "What?"
Luke: "I don't make the rules, I just carry them out."
Lorelai (entering the diner): "Hey, backwards baseball cap - new look for you. She's eating pie? Did she even have dinner?"
Luke: "You raise her. I just serve."
Brian (a server at the in): "May I be fired now?"
Lorelai: "Absolutely."
Lorelai (about Headmaster Charleston): "I didn't yell at him."
Rory: "You called him 'il duce.'"
Lorelai: "Which means 'Kind Sir' in Cantonese."
The next quotes are all from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.5 (Cinnamon's Wake) ...
Emily: "Oh, I'm afraid I have some bad news. Claudia died."
Lorelai: "Who?"
Emily: "Claudia. Your cousin Claudia. (Lorelai is still staring.) Claudia!"
Lorelai: "I'm hearing the name, Mom. I have no idea who that is."
Emily: "Claudia's your cousin, for all intents and purposes."
Lorelai: "Oh, now we're getting to it."
Emily: "She was your father's grandmother's sister's girl. So to you, that would make her--"
Lorelai: "Nothing?"
Emily: "Regardless, the funeral's on Thursday. I thought we'd all go together."
Lorelai: "Ooh, whoa. Two problems. First, impossible to get away from the inn Thursday. Two, I've never met this woman!"
Emily: "You most certainly have."
Lorelai: "When?"
Emily: "Several times."
Lorelai: "I'll take one."
Emily: "We went to her hosue in Groton to see the first moon landing. She'd just gotten a new Philco."
Lorelai: "I have no memory of this whatsoever."
Emily: "Rory, correct me if I'm wrong, but men have walked on the moon, regardless of whether or not your mother rememebrs it or not?"
Rory: "That's the rumor."
Lorelai: "I know men have walked on the moon. I just don't know Claudia."
Emily: "So you're not going?"
Lorelai: "Not this time."
Emily: "I don't think Claudia's planning to die a second time."
Emily: "Oh wait -- Rudolph Gottfried!"
Lorelai: "Another cousin?"
Emily: "No, a Nazi that we knew. I'd forgotten. We stayed with him once in Munich. Nice old man. Interesting stories."
Lorelai: "Mom, you socialized with a known Nazi? That's despicable! That's heinous!"
Emily: "No, dear. That's a joke."
Michel: "You're giving me that look, aren't you? Your patented, 'Do it, or something unspeakable shall befall you' look."
Max: "You like coffee?"
Lorelai: "Only with my oxygen."
Lane (talking about Babette's recently deceased cat, Cinnamon): "They said that they rolled her body into a lamp. (Rory nods.) Did you laugh? (Rory shakes her head.) Did you want to? (Rory nods her head.)"
Lorelai: "I kept information from you."
Rory: "Information I should have had."
Lorelai: "Information that would've come out eventually, like the Iran-Contra scandal."
Rory: "So you're Oliver North?"
Lorelai: "No, I'm Fawn Hall."
Rory: "Mom."
Lorelai: "Well, she's much prettier."
Lorelai (about Emily): "She's working for a sedative manufacturer, keeping that demand sky high."

no surprise there, only lies there ...
"Someone got to him first. Actually, she's always been there and probably always will be."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"The old familiar thrill passed through her. It was always like this when they got back together -- comfortable and thrilling at the same time."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Being the subject of such outrageous tales was nothing new ... [she was] a veteran of half-truths and petty gossip. She knew the best way to handle it, too: ignore it."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She was like Mr. Magoo, running blindly into the most awkward situations, and then walking out of them unscathed and blaming nobody. Hopefully this would be the same."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'I guess I really screwed up,' he admitted to the camera. 'I mean, my girlfriend's life is, like, a train wreck, and I can't even call her."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I know she was the one who said it, but i guess I believed it, too -- that we'd always wind up married."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'You know he loves you,' Serena said, even though she didn't need to. 'And we're all so much happier when we're not fighting.' 'Yeah," Blair admitted. But Nate was going to have to prove it to her on his own. Not that she'd be hard to win over."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Maybe that was the difference between fourteen and eighteen. When you were fourteen, something that seemed like the end of the world today could be completely forgotten tomorrow. When you were eighteen, your life was that much closer to being over."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She wanted to be that girl, she really did. The girl who drank coffee with her boyfriend. A couple. But she didn't want it badly enough to miss the party."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"And now that she'd been through a scandal - or two or three - and come out ahead, she was more resilient. She had a past, a history. She was the girl no one would be able to stop talking about. Big bazongas and all, she ... was destined for success."
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'We don't have to go to the same school or even live together. We can just be.' She wiped her nose with the back of her free hand .... 'No matter what we do, we'll always sort of be together, right?'"
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Nate had forgotten what it was like being with Blair. How touching her wasn't a haunted-house experience, where he blindly had to guess where things were and what they were, and wound up bumping into walls. With Blair, he just knew. And everything seemed to fit just right.'"
-from Gossip Girl: You're the One That I Want (Book 6) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"The best stories begin with one boy and two girls."

-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar

-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"That's the problem with best friends. Sometimes, they know you better than you know yourself."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"But there was someone missing. Someone who'd always been a major piece of the puzzle in his own lovably f***ed-up, cheating way."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"When she really thought about it, this whole year had been a series of highs and lows, with more lows than highs. But so what if her life wasn't turning out the way she'd imagined it in the movie in her head, and her entire supporting cast had turned out to be assholes? She was about ot move the film to a completely new location and she could hire an entirely new cast. And nobody knew how to steal the shower better than Blair did."
-from Gossip Girl: Nobody Does it Better (Book 7) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"I must be cruel only to be kind."
-from Hamlet by William Shakespeare
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend ...
Hey ain't it good to know you've got a friend?
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah, but don't you let them
-"You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Making me believe they're true
Give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
-"A Kiss to Build a Dream On" by Louis Armstrong
In a white room, in a white head
In a cobweb of enterprise
Where the dreams sleep and fears keep
That's where the colors don't go
That's where the colors don't show
In one take, no give
Half live, half ignore
An endless chase in small place
One world, one white flag
One shopping bag and restaurant
No surprise there, only lies there
I want your eyes to color my world
And see our endless longing
-"Where the Colors Don't Go" by Sam Phillips
Margaret: "Why didn't you tell me you were some kind of Alaskan Kennedy?"
Andrew: "How could I? We were in the middle of talking about you -- for the last three years."
-from the Proposal
Margaret: "What am I allergic to?"
Andrew: "Pine nuts. And the full spectrum of human emotion."
-from the Proposal
"You can do this, but that would require to you stop snacking on children while they dream."
-from the Proposal
Margaret: "I'm not getting in that boat."
Andrew: "Fine. See you in three days."
Margaret: "You know I can't swim."
Andrew: "Hence, the boat."
-from the Proposal
"Three days ago, I loathed you. I used to dream about you getting hit by a cab. Then we had our little adventure up in Alaska, and things started to change. Things changed when we kissed. And when you told me about your tattoo. Even when you checked me out when we were naked. But I didn't realize any of this until I was standing alone in a barn, wifeless. Now, you could imagine my disappointment when it suddenly dawned on me that the woman I love is about to be kicked out of the country. So Margaret, marry me - because I'd like to date you."
-from the Proposal
"People put you down enough, you start to believe it ... The bad stuff is easier to believe. You ever notice that?"
-from Pretty Woman
"My special gift is impossible relationships."
-from Pretty Woman
"You left, and suddenly I'm in the middle of 'West Side Story.'"

The next several quotes are all from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.3 (Kill Me Now) ...
Richard: "Oh, I like Sophia."
Emily: "You did not."
Richard: "I didn't?"
Emily: "She was the one who sang."
Richard: "That's right! Terrible woman."
Emily: "And after Sophia, we had Anton."
Richard: "That's right. Anton was the one I liked."
Lorelai: "I'm sorry, Dad, how do you mix up Anton and Sophia?"
Richard: "What do you mean?"
Lorelai: "Well, one is a man and one is a woman."
Richard: "And your point being?"
Lorelai: "That one is a man and one is a woman."
Richard: "I have a lot to do in a day, Lorelai. I do not have time to keep up with the multitude of people that your mother employs."
Lorelai: "... But one is a man, and one is a woman."
Rory: "Hey Grandma, these plates are really pretty."
Emily: "Thank you, Rory. They were your great-grandmother's."
Richard: "Lorelai the First."
Rory: "I thought Mom was the first."
Emily: "Not in the name."
Lorelai: "No, but in so many other things, I was a regular trail-blazer. Just finishing your thought Mom."
Lorelai: "I told her she should go out for the debating team."
Rory: "It's not a sport."
Lorelai: "It is the way the Gilmores play."
Emily: "Why should she pick something else? She needs to learn a sport and Richard can teach her a sport. You can use your mother's old golf clubs. They're upstairs, gathering dust along with the rest of her potential."
Rory: "Maybe it won't be that bad."
Lorelai: "Maybe it won't."
Rory: "Maybe I'll like it."
Lorelai: "Maybe you will."
Rory: "Maybe ... you could come with me?"
Lorelai: "Oh, is there a you're crazy team? 'Cause I think they'd make you captain."
Rory: "Please?"
Lorelai: "Rory. I love you. I would take a bullet for you. But I would rather stick something sharp in my ear than go to the club with you."
Rory: "Fine."
Lorelai: "I'd rather slide down a razor blades into a pool of alcohol."
Rory: "I got it."
Lorelai: "Don't stop me, I'm on a roll. Ooh, I'd rather eat my own hand than go to the club with you. I'd rather have my face surgically altered to look like that lunatic rich lady with the lion head, than go to the club with you."
Rory: "Would you like me to drive so you can continue your diatribe?"
Lorelai: "Wouldja? Thanks. Oh, I'd rather cut off my own head and use it as a punch bowl than go to the club with you."
"To me, you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon."
Kirk: "Where do you want the swans?"
Lorelai: "Well, do you know where the pond is?"
Kirk: "Nope."
Lorelai: "You know the little road you came up?"
Kirk: "Nope."
Lorelai: "Okay. Do you know how to say 'big help,' in Chinese?"
Kirk: "Nope."
Lorelai (calling): "Michel! (Back to Kirk.) This is twenty swans?" (There are two in the cages.)
Kirk: "Sure. Why not?"
Michel: "You screeched?"
Lorelai: "Yeah, I need you to show this guy where to put the swans."
Michel: "Absolutely not."
Lorelai: "Well, I can't leave, okay? I've got a major tulle festival going on out here."
Michel: "I will never go near those filthy birds."
Lorelai: "Why?"
Michel: "I hate the swans."
Lorelai: "These particular swans?"
Michel: "No. All swans. I was attacked by a band of swans in the Luxembourg Gardens when I was a boy. No one forgets that."
Lorelai: "Oh no. Not being attacked by a band of swans. Was it an all boy-band? Kind of a scary, feathery, 'N Sync kind of fiasco?"
Michel: "This is not funny."
Lorelai: "No, I'm sorry, it's not. It's not funny at all. (One squawks and Michel jumps.) Oh my god. C'mon, you have to admit that's a little funny."
Drella (with her harp): "Hey, Pepe le Pew. You wanna give me a hand with this?"
Michel: "No."
Lorelai: "Listen -- it's Drella or the swans."
Michel: "So, it's one beast of terror or another?"
Drella: "What the hell is he babbling about?"
Lorelai: "He's scared of the swans."
Michel: "Thank you."
Drella: "Of course he is. He's French."
Michel (to Kirk): "Okay, I will take you to the pond."
Lorelai: "Thank you."
Michel: "But stay far away from me."
Drella (as he walks away): "Can't stand the talk, love to watch the walk."
"The battle of soup versus salad is waging in the other room. Come quick and settle it please, as I am running out of French curses that they won't understand."
Rory: "Mr. Neville likes all things frilly."
Richard: "Oh my god. He's my broker."
Rory: "Well, I don't think one will affect the other."
Emily: "You brought us used dessert?"
Lorelai: "It's not used. It's left over."
Emily: "How nice. I'll just put it in the kitchen next to my half-empty box of Cheer."
Emily: "So, Lorelai, did Rory tell you all about the wonderful time she had at the club?"
Lorelai: "She sure did."
Emily: "Your father was simply flying all week. She really charmed him."
Lorelai: "Well if anyone could, it would be her."
Emily: "I mean, in this day and age of MTV and one hundred televisino channels, who would've imagined that a young girl could still get a thrill spending a simple afternoon with her grandfather."
Lorelai: "That wine would be really good right now, Mom."
Emily: "I think we should consider getting her a membership at the club, don't you?"
Lorelai: "If she wants, sure."
Emily: "I mean, to have a place where she can go to socialize. That's very important to a young girl."
Lorelai: "Well, now especially that the crack-den is closed on the corner, all her really good friends are gone. What do you think Mom? Should I pursue the career in comedy?"

Margaret: "Why didn't you tell me you were some kind of Alaskan Kennedy?"
Andrew: "How could I? We were in the middle of talking about you -- for the last three years."
-from the Proposal
Margaret: "What am I allergic to?"
Andrew: "Pine nuts. And the full spectrum of human emotion."
-from the Proposal

Margaret: "I'm not getting in that boat."
Andrew: "Fine. See you in three days."
Margaret: "You know I can't swim."
Andrew: "Hence, the boat."
-from the Proposal
"Three days ago, I loathed you. I used to dream about you getting hit by a cab. Then we had our little adventure up in Alaska, and things started to change. Things changed when we kissed. And when you told me about your tattoo. Even when you checked me out when we were naked. But I didn't realize any of this until I was standing alone in a barn, wifeless. Now, you could imagine my disappointment when it suddenly dawned on me that the woman I love is about to be kicked out of the country. So Margaret, marry me - because I'd like to date you."
-from the Proposal
"People put you down enough, you start to believe it ... The bad stuff is easier to believe. You ever notice that?"

Vivian: "She saves him right back."

The next several quotes are all from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.3 (Kill Me Now) ...
Richard: "Oh, I like Sophia."
Emily: "You did not."
Richard: "I didn't?"
Emily: "She was the one who sang."
Richard: "That's right! Terrible woman."
Emily: "And after Sophia, we had Anton."
Richard: "That's right. Anton was the one I liked."
Lorelai: "I'm sorry, Dad, how do you mix up Anton and Sophia?"
Richard: "What do you mean?"
Lorelai: "Well, one is a man and one is a woman."
Richard: "And your point being?"
Lorelai: "That one is a man and one is a woman."
Richard: "I have a lot to do in a day, Lorelai. I do not have time to keep up with the multitude of people that your mother employs."
Lorelai: "... But one is a man, and one is a woman."
Rory: "Hey Grandma, these plates are really pretty."
Emily: "Thank you, Rory. They were your great-grandmother's."
Richard: "Lorelai the First."
Rory: "I thought Mom was the first."
Emily: "Not in the name."
Lorelai: "No, but in so many other things, I was a regular trail-blazer. Just finishing your thought Mom."
Lorelai: "I told her she should go out for the debating team."
Rory: "It's not a sport."
Lorelai: "It is the way the Gilmores play."
Emily: "Why should she pick something else? She needs to learn a sport and Richard can teach her a sport. You can use your mother's old golf clubs. They're upstairs, gathering dust along with the rest of her potential."
Rory: "Maybe it won't be that bad."
Lorelai: "Maybe it won't."
Rory: "Maybe I'll like it."
Lorelai: "Maybe you will."
Rory: "Maybe ... you could come with me?"
Lorelai: "Oh, is there a you're crazy team? 'Cause I think they'd make you captain."
Rory: "Please?"
Lorelai: "Rory. I love you. I would take a bullet for you. But I would rather stick something sharp in my ear than go to the club with you."
Rory: "Fine."
Lorelai: "I'd rather slide down a razor blades into a pool of alcohol."
Rory: "I got it."
Lorelai: "Don't stop me, I'm on a roll. Ooh, I'd rather eat my own hand than go to the club with you. I'd rather have my face surgically altered to look like that lunatic rich lady with the lion head, than go to the club with you."
Rory: "Would you like me to drive so you can continue your diatribe?"
Lorelai: "Wouldja? Thanks. Oh, I'd rather cut off my own head and use it as a punch bowl than go to the club with you."
"To me, you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon."
Kirk: "Where do you want the swans?"
Lorelai: "Well, do you know where the pond is?"
Kirk: "Nope."
Lorelai: "You know the little road you came up?"
Kirk: "Nope."
Lorelai: "Okay. Do you know how to say 'big help,' in Chinese?"
Kirk: "Nope."
Lorelai (calling): "Michel! (Back to Kirk.) This is twenty swans?" (There are two in the cages.)
Kirk: "Sure. Why not?"
Michel: "You screeched?"
Lorelai: "Yeah, I need you to show this guy where to put the swans."
Michel: "Absolutely not."
Lorelai: "Well, I can't leave, okay? I've got a major tulle festival going on out here."
Michel: "I will never go near those filthy birds."
Lorelai: "Why?"
Michel: "I hate the swans."
Lorelai: "These particular swans?"
Michel: "No. All swans. I was attacked by a band of swans in the Luxembourg Gardens when I was a boy. No one forgets that."
Lorelai: "Oh no. Not being attacked by a band of swans. Was it an all boy-band? Kind of a scary, feathery, 'N Sync kind of fiasco?"
Michel: "This is not funny."
Lorelai: "No, I'm sorry, it's not. It's not funny at all. (One squawks and Michel jumps.) Oh my god. C'mon, you have to admit that's a little funny."
Drella (with her harp): "Hey, Pepe le Pew. You wanna give me a hand with this?"
Michel: "No."
Lorelai: "Listen -- it's Drella or the swans."
Michel: "So, it's one beast of terror or another?"
Drella: "What the hell is he babbling about?"
Lorelai: "He's scared of the swans."
Michel: "Thank you."
Drella: "Of course he is. He's French."
Michel (to Kirk): "Okay, I will take you to the pond."
Lorelai: "Thank you."
Michel: "But stay far away from me."
Drella (as he walks away): "Can't stand the talk, love to watch the walk."
"The battle of soup versus salad is waging in the other room. Come quick and settle it please, as I am running out of French curses that they won't understand."
Rory: "Mr. Neville likes all things frilly."
Richard: "Oh my god. He's my broker."
Rory: "Well, I don't think one will affect the other."
Emily: "You brought us used dessert?"
Lorelai: "It's not used. It's left over."
Emily: "How nice. I'll just put it in the kitchen next to my half-empty box of Cheer."
Emily: "So, Lorelai, did Rory tell you all about the wonderful time she had at the club?"
Lorelai: "She sure did."
Emily: "Your father was simply flying all week. She really charmed him."
Lorelai: "Well if anyone could, it would be her."
Emily: "I mean, in this day and age of MTV and one hundred televisino channels, who would've imagined that a young girl could still get a thrill spending a simple afternoon with her grandfather."
Lorelai: "That wine would be really good right now, Mom."
Emily: "I think we should consider getting her a membership at the club, don't you?"
Lorelai: "If she wants, sure."
Emily: "I mean, to have a place where she can go to socialize. That's very important to a young girl."
Lorelai: "Well, now especially that the crack-den is closed on the corner, all her really good friends are gone. What do you think Mom? Should I pursue the career in comedy?"

you knew that i was always on your side
All the quotes below are from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.1 (Pilot) ...
\
Lorelai: "Please, Luke. Please, please, please."
Luke: "How many cups have you had this morning?"
Lorelai: "None."
Luke: "Plus?"
Lorelai: " ... Five. But yours is better."
Luke: "You have a problem."
Lorelai: "Yes I do."
Luke (pours her coffee): "Junkie."
Lorelai: "Angel. You've got wings, baby."
Lorelai: "Hi, Drella. Hi. I was just wondering, um, could you be, uh, nicer to the guests?"
Drella: "I'm sorry. Did you not want a harp player?"
Lorelai: "Yes, I did."
Drella: "And did you want a great harp player?"
Lorelai: "Yes, I did."
Drella: "Okay. I am a great harp player. And this is my great harp. Okay? So if you're looking for someone to just be nice to the guests, get a harmonica player, or some guy who whistles through this nose. Okay? Capisce?"
Lorelai: "What's with the muumuu?"
Rory: "Stop."
Lorelai: "No, I'm just saying, you couldn't find one made of metal, in case anyone has x-ray eyes?"
Rory: "And now, we say goodbye."
Rory: "When are you going to tell your parents you listen to the evil rock music? You're an American teenager for god sakes."
Lane: "Rory, if my parents are still upset over the obscene portion size of American food, I hardly think I'm going to make any in-roads with Eminem. (They stop in front of a Teen Hayride sign.) I have to go to that."
Rory: "The hayride? You're kidding."
Lane: "My parents set me up with the son of a business associate. He's gonna be a doctor."
Rory: "How old is he?"
Lane: "Sixteen."
Rory: "So, he's gonna be a doctor in like, a hundred years."
Lane: "Well, my parents like to plan ahead."
Rory: "God, you have to go to the hayride with him?"
Lane: "And his older brother."
Rory: "Oh, now you're kidding."
Lane: "Koreans never joke about future doctors. So, I guess you're not going, huh?"
Rory: "No. I'm still fuzzy about what's fun about sitting in the cold for two hours with a bundle sticks up your butt."
Drella (playing harp): "Nice, huh?"
Woman: "Beautiful."
Drella: "Yea? Well, tell it to the tip jar."
Rory: "You know, it sucks that after all these years, your mom still hates me."
Lane: "She doesn't hate you."
Rory: "She hates my mother."
Lane: "She doesn't trust unmarried women."
Rory: "You're unmarried."
Lane: "I'm hayriding with a future proctologist. I have potential."
Mama Kim: "Boys don't like funny girls."
Lorelai: "Michel, the phone."
Michel: "Mmmhmm. It rings."
Lorelai: "Can you answer it?"
Michel: "No. People are particularly stupid today, I cannot talk to anymore of them."
Lorelai: "You know who's really nice to talk to? The people at the unemployment agency."
Rory: "It's my mother's name too. She named me after herself. She was lying in hospital think about how men name boys after themselves all the time, you know, so why couldn't women? She says her feminism just kind of took over, though personally, I think a lot of Demerol also went into that decision."
All the quotes below are from Gilmore Girls, Episode 1.2 (The Lorelais' First Day at Chilton) ...
Rory (having her toenails painted by Lorelai): "So, why are you insisting on doing this?"
Lorelai: "Well, because you're starting private school tomorrow."
Rory: "Yes, but I'm going to be wearing shoes. Nobody's gonna see my feet."
Lorelai: "Okay, but everybody knows that private school girls are bad, and bad girls always wear red nail polish. ... Are you nervous?"
Rory: "About what?"
Lorelai: "About starting Chilton."
Rory: "Well, I wasn't until I heard about all those bad girls."
Rory (waking Lorelai up): "MOM!"
Lorelai (in bed): "What?! God. Hi."
Rory: "What are you doing?"
Lorelai: "Having a heart attack."
Rory: "I thought you were up! It's 7:10!"
Lorelai: "What?"
Rory: "It's 7:10!"
Lorelai: "Stop it. It's a quarter to six."
Rory: "No it's not!"
Lorelai: "Yes it is. I set the clock for a quarter to six, so it's ... (Rory shows her the clock) It's 7:10! Dammit!"
Rory: "I can't be late on my first day of school. Do you know what happens to people when they're late on their first day?"
Lorelai: "It's shorter?"
Rory: "For the rest of the year, they're labeled 'The Late Girl.'"
Lorelai: "Oh, so dramatic. Where's the bathroom?"
Rory: "We have to go. What if there's traffic? Mom!"
Lorelai: "Ugh! I had this all planned, you know? I was gonna get up early, I was gonna have coffee, I was gonna take a shower. I was gonna pick up my clothes from the dry cleaners. ... Oh my god. My clothes."
Rory: "What?"
Lorelai: "I don't have any clean clothes."
Rory: "It's 7:15."
Lorelai: "All my nice things were dirty."
Rory: "It's 7:16."
Lorelai: "Oh my god. I was gonna wear my blue suit with the flippy skirt! I look so great in the flippy skirt."
Rory: "It's 7:17."
Lorelai: "Alright, you know what, time lady? Why don't you go down and warm up the car? That would be really super. Thank you."
Rory: "Just hurry."
Lorelai: "This sucks, this sucks, this sucks!"
Rory (calling from downstairs): "It's 7:18."
Lorelai: "Oh, for the love of god! (Looks at her clock.) This is the last time I buy anything just because it's furry!"
Rory (a few minutes later downstairs): "It's 7-"
Lorelai (running downstairs in cut offs and a tie-dye shirt): "Don't even think of finishing that sentence! (Rory stares at her.) What?"
Rory: "Nothing. I just didn't know the rodeo was in town."
Lorelai: "All right, that's it! I'm bringin the baby pictures!"
Rory: "I'm sorry! I love the rodeo! The rodeo rules!"
Emily (to Lorelai): "Do you need a ride, or is your horse parked outside?"
Emily: "How do you leave the house looking like that?"
Lorelai: "It was not planned, believe me."
Emily: "And on Rory's first day of school. What kind of an impression did you think you were going to make?"
Lorelai: "What are you doing here, Mother?"
Emily: "I told you, I came to put in a good word for Rory."
Lorelai: "Well, she didn't need a good word."
Emily: "I'm not allowed here, is that it?"
Lorelai: "I didn't say that."
Emily: "I'm allowed to pay for it, but I can't actually set foot on the premises. I just want to get the rules straight."
Lorelai: "Oh boy."
Emily: "How about the street? Can I drive down the street?"
Lorelai: "Forget it."
Emily: "Maybe I should just avoid this neighborhood altogether, though my doctor's just down the block. Maybe I can get special permission if I'm bleeding from the head."
Lorelai: "I'm sorry. I was just surprised to see you here."
Emily: "I just thought it was important for this school to know they had a Gilmore amongst them."
Lorelai: "A very good thought."
Emily: "And that some of the Gilmores actually own clothing."
Lorelai: "And on that note, I have to get to work. I'll see you later."
Emily: "Dinner, Friday night. No spurs, please."
Lorelai: "I've already had the longest day of my life and, oh look, it's only ten. How nice."
Luke: "There's no coffee."
Lorelai: "That's not funny."
Luke: "I can give you herbal tea."
Lorelai: "This is not an herbal tea morning. This is a coffee morning."
Luke: "Ever morning for you is a coffee morning."
Lorelai: "This is a jumbo coffee morning. I need coffee in an IV."
Luke: "I can give you tea and a Balance bar."
Lorelai: "Please, please, please tell me your kidding."
Luke: "I'm kidding."
Lorelai: "You're sick. You're a sadist. You're a fiend. (Luke brings out the coffee.) You're pretty."
Luke: "For here or to go?"
Lorelai: "To go, please."
Luke: "You wanna know what this stuff does to your central nervous system?"
Lorelai: "Ooh, do you have a chart? 'Cause I love charts."
Lorelai: "My clothes were at the cleaners, and I had the fuzzy clock and it didn't purr on time."
Luke: "It didn't purr?"
Lorelai: "It's fuzzy. It purrs. You know what? Never mind. I gotta go. I had a plan, dammit."
Luke: "Me too. Next time, you're getting tea."
Miss Patty (to her dance/baton students): "Visualize, ladies. It's a Thanksgiving Day parade. You're standing on Fifth Avenue. There's ah undred beautiful boys marching in place behind you. And there you are -- you are out in front, with your fabulous legs and your perfect tush. Your baton is on fire and the crowd goes nuts! Okay ... Cookie time."
Emily: "I'm going shopping this afternoon and I thought I'd pick up a few things for Rory."
Lorelai: "Like what?"
Emily: "Oh, you know, a couple of extra skirts and tops for school."
Lorelai: "Mmkay. I already took care of that, Mom. I got her two skirts and a bunch of tops."
Emily: "But there are five days in a school week?"
Lorelai: "Really? Are you sure? Because my days of the week underwear only go to Thursday."
Emily: "Is that a joke?"
Lorelai: "Mom, two skirts are fine."
Emily: "I never know with you."
Lorelai: "Really, don't bother."
Emily: "Well, what if she gets one dirty?"
Lorelai: "Well then, she'll wear the other one."
Emily: "What if she gets them both dirty?"
Lorelai: "Well then, I'll use this new-fangled thing called a washing machine. The town just chipped in and bought one. My turn's Tuesday."
Sookie: "They're smaller than the last batch."
Jackson: "No, they're not."
Sookie: "Smaller means watery. No good peach taste."
Jackson: "No, there's plenty of peach taste, being as they're, you know, peaches."
Sookie: "What about the ones on the bottom?" (Digging through the crate.)
Jackson: "Oh, great. No, be sure to check them all. That's get. Give every last one of them a nice good squeeze. You wouldn't wanna leave me one that I could sell to somebody else. Oh, wait a minute. You missed one. Now, I'm not gonna tell you which one it is. I'm just gonna wait until your impeccably good radar ... (Pulls a peach out.) There it is! You got it!"
Sookie (holding out a peach): "Taste this."
Lorelai: "Hm. A little watery."
Jackson: "Oh now, you planned this!"
Elderly inn guest (to Michel): "Oh, excuse me sir. Can you tell me where we can find the best antiques?"
Michel: "At your house, I'd guess."
Miss Patty (to her dancers): "Now, walk smooth. That's the new Harry Potter on your heads. If they should drop, Harry will die and there won't be anymore books."
Babette: "I wouldn't trust these boys. Gnome kickin' says a lot about a man's character."
And a few other quotes ...
"Love keeps no record of wrongs."
-1 Corinthians 13:5
I don't know how to say goodbye to you
I'm not good at things that I don't want to do
Should I pretend I don't care, you don't feel what I feel is there?
I don't know how to say goodbye
-"I Don't Know How to Say Goodbye to You" by Sam Phillips
My yesterdays are all boxed up
And neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
You were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side
Everything was easy then
So sweet and innocent
My demons and my angels reappared
Leaving only traces of the man you thought I'd be
Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared
Leaving you with only questions all these years
But is there some place far away, some place where all is clear?
Easy to start over, with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder all alone eternally?
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No, it isn't how it's really meant to be
Oh they say, that love is in the air
But never is it clear
How to hold it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly
And so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side ...
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life?
When you knew that I was always on your side.
-"Always on Your Side" by Sheryl Crow and Sting
"You were meant to be loved perfectly and surely, I have loved you, in the idea of you, my whole life long."
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"Okay, here it is. Your choice. It's simple: Her or me. And I'm sure she's really great. But ... I love you. In a really, really big, pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 2.5)
"There's the school of thought that says the family you're born into is simply a starting point. They feed you, and clothe you, and take care of you, until you're ready to go out into the world and find your tribe."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 2.12)
"Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid."
-John Wayne

Luke: "I can give you tea and a Balance bar."
Lorelai: "Please, please, please tell me your kidding."
Luke: "I'm kidding."
Lorelai: "You're sick. You're a sadist. You're a fiend. (Luke brings out the coffee.) You're pretty."
Luke: "For here or to go?"
Lorelai: "To go, please."
Luke: "You wanna know what this stuff does to your central nervous system?"
Lorelai: "Ooh, do you have a chart? 'Cause I love charts."
Lorelai: "My clothes were at the cleaners, and I had the fuzzy clock and it didn't purr on time."
Luke: "It didn't purr?"
Lorelai: "It's fuzzy. It purrs. You know what? Never mind. I gotta go. I had a plan, dammit."
Luke: "Me too. Next time, you're getting tea."
Miss Patty (to her dance/baton students): "Visualize, ladies. It's a Thanksgiving Day parade. You're standing on Fifth Avenue. There's ah undred beautiful boys marching in place behind you. And there you are -- you are out in front, with your fabulous legs and your perfect tush. Your baton is on fire and the crowd goes nuts! Okay ... Cookie time."
Emily: "I'm going shopping this afternoon and I thought I'd pick up a few things for Rory."
Lorelai: "Like what?"
Emily: "Oh, you know, a couple of extra skirts and tops for school."
Lorelai: "Mmkay. I already took care of that, Mom. I got her two skirts and a bunch of tops."
Emily: "But there are five days in a school week?"
Lorelai: "Really? Are you sure? Because my days of the week underwear only go to Thursday."
Emily: "Is that a joke?"
Lorelai: "Mom, two skirts are fine."
Emily: "I never know with you."
Lorelai: "Really, don't bother."
Emily: "Well, what if she gets one dirty?"
Lorelai: "Well then, she'll wear the other one."
Emily: "What if she gets them both dirty?"
Lorelai: "Well then, I'll use this new-fangled thing called a washing machine. The town just chipped in and bought one. My turn's Tuesday."
Sookie: "They're smaller than the last batch."
Jackson: "No, they're not."
Sookie: "Smaller means watery. No good peach taste."
Jackson: "No, there's plenty of peach taste, being as they're, you know, peaches."
Sookie: "What about the ones on the bottom?" (Digging through the crate.)
Jackson: "Oh, great. No, be sure to check them all. That's get. Give every last one of them a nice good squeeze. You wouldn't wanna leave me one that I could sell to somebody else. Oh, wait a minute. You missed one. Now, I'm not gonna tell you which one it is. I'm just gonna wait until your impeccably good radar ... (Pulls a peach out.) There it is! You got it!"
Sookie (holding out a peach): "Taste this."
Lorelai: "Hm. A little watery."
Jackson: "Oh now, you planned this!"
Elderly inn guest (to Michel): "Oh, excuse me sir. Can you tell me where we can find the best antiques?"
Michel: "At your house, I'd guess."
Miss Patty (to her dancers): "Now, walk smooth. That's the new Harry Potter on your heads. If they should drop, Harry will die and there won't be anymore books."
Babette: "I wouldn't trust these boys. Gnome kickin' says a lot about a man's character."
And a few other quotes ...
"Love keeps no record of wrongs."
-1 Corinthians 13:5
I don't know how to say goodbye to you
I'm not good at things that I don't want to do
Should I pretend I don't care, you don't feel what I feel is there?
I don't know how to say goodbye
-"I Don't Know How to Say Goodbye to You" by Sam Phillips
My yesterdays are all boxed up
And neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
You were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side
Everything was easy then
So sweet and innocent
My demons and my angels reappared
Leaving only traces of the man you thought I'd be
Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared
Leaving you with only questions all these years
But is there some place far away, some place where all is clear?
Easy to start over, with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder all alone eternally?
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No, it isn't how it's really meant to be
Oh they say, that love is in the air
But never is it clear
How to hold it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly
And so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side ...
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life?
When you knew that I was always on your side.
-"Always on Your Side" by Sheryl Crow and Sting
"You were meant to be loved perfectly and surely, I have loved you, in the idea of you, my whole life long."
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"Okay, here it is. Your choice. It's simple: Her or me. And I'm sure she's really great. But ... I love you. In a really, really big, pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 2.5)
"There's the school of thought that says the family you're born into is simply a starting point. They feed you, and clothe you, and take care of you, until you're ready to go out into the world and find your tribe."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 2.12)
"Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid."

no gossip ever dies away entirely if many people voice it ...
"And if you fall and break your face, as many tray sledders do, don't even worry about it, 'cause you can spend the night in the infirmary which is another typical college experience."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.12)
"No gossip ever dies away entirely, if many people voice it: It too is a kind of divinity."
-Hesiod, ca. 800 B.C.E.
"[Her] style had always been preppy-good-girl-meets-cheap-slut, but lately, she'd been erring on the cheap-slut side."
-from Gossip Girl: I Like it Like That (Book 4) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Have you ever noticed how when boys are stressed out, all they want to do is play video games by themselves for hours or got to he park and kick a ball around with the other boys? When we get stressed out, we're productive. We clean our closets, shop for the perfect new bag, get our nails done, our eyebrows waxed, and our teeth cleaned. Sitting still is the last thing we want to do, and the thing we most want is to be around people of the opposite sex. Girls -- even our closest girl friends -- are too competitive and will only weird us out even more, while boys provide a soothing distraction. But how does it work when all the boys are busy hanging with one another, playing ball? ... We can try not to get all competitive and weird on our girl friends and have a little fun with them. Face it, after you're done kissing that certain special boy, all you really want to do is call your girl friends, anyway."

"When you have a tough message to get across, it's always good to have backup."

"I have known a certain boy my whole life and I"m pretty sure I've been in love with him all that time, I just never realized it. He was with my best friend, and now he's with another friend of mine, although I'm pretty sure that's close to being over. I need to find out if he feels the same way about me, but I'm not sure what to do."

i had to let go of the bumper because it hurts too much ...
"I can't take this anymore. Yes, I love Luke, and yes, I wanted to marry Luke. But I didn't want a life separate from Luke, and that's all he could give me. I don't want that. If I'm gonna be with Luke, I want to be with Luke, and he didn't get it and I waited. I mean, god, I waited! It's like Luke is driving a car, okay, and I just want to be in the passenger's seat. But he's locked the door, and -- and so I have to hold onto the bumper, you know? I'm not even asking him to open the door for me. Just leave it unlocked and say, "Come in." But no, he didn't do that, so I'm hanging onto the bumper, and life goes on, and the car goes on, and I get really badly bruised and hitting potholes. And it hurts. I mean, it hurts. So yesterday, I had to let go of the bumper because it hurts too much. It hurts too much!"
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.1)
"You don't have to jump off the Empire State Building to know it's gonna hurt."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.3)
Lorelai: "I never saw myself getting married."
Carolyn: "Never?"
Lorelai: "Not until Max asked me, I think. I mean, I guess I thought about marrying Christopher when everyone was freaking out because I was pregnant, but I never thought about it in a longingly, good way."
Carolyn: "That could be why."
Lorelai: "Why?"
Carolyn: "Well, marriage was just a solution to a problem, not anything romantic or because you were in love ... What about Max? Did you love him?"
Lorelai: "No, I didn't. I wanted to. But I didn't. I don't think I ever really loved anyone, until Luke ... I saw this guy in front of me who was a real man. He was solid, and he was strong. He would protect me, but he -- he got me. I knew all that when we started dating. But that moment, when I realized how much he cared ... Suddenly, I knew I was ready."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"And the crazy thing is, I am ready to get married. I am ready to start the next phase of my life ... I don't want to wait anymore. I don't want to be patient. I've been patient long enough. I'm not happy, and I feel crappy all the time. And I just think I've had it."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"So, what are you going to do? Only you can make you wait. Nobody else can. You need to decide what you want and what you're willing to give up to get it, and then you've got to be okay with that, or you've got to be okay with waiting."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"You don't really seem to have him now, at least not the way you want to have him. You won't get anything unless you ask for it. And if you ask for it and you don't get it, maybe it wasn't worth having in the first place."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"We fixed up the house, right? We have a bigger closet and I didn't get the purple wallpaper because you didn't want the purple wall paper. And if it's between you and the purple wallpaper, I pick you! I pick you!"
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
Luke: "I don't like ultimatums!"
Lorelai: "I don't like Mondays, but unfortunately, they come around eventually."
Luke: "I can't just jump like this."
Lorelai: "Well, I'm sorry to hear that. And I have to go."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.22)
"I'm the perfect storm of caffeine and genetics."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.1)
"There's a giant hole where my wall used to be. It's gonna take a couple of weeks to fix. It's a disaster, but I don't care. I mean, I care, but -- you know what, no. I really -- I don't care. It's like it's not even real to me. it's like my life isn't even real to me unless you're there, and you're in it, and I'm sharing it with you. And, uh, I don't know what I was waiting for and I don't know what I was scared of, but I'm not. I'm not scared, and I'm not waiting. I'm here."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.1)
"Has it ever occured to you that you might be so caught up trying to find the 'right' choice that you've never really stopped to think about the possibility that there may not be a right choice or a wrong choice, just a bunch of choices?"
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.14)
"Well, the only really exciting things in life require more courage thatn we currently have. A deep breath, and a leap. The kind of fear that you're talking about, sometimes, it's how you know that something's worthwhile."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.14)
"It was so right ... and you may not see that right now, but I do. And if I have to wait until we're both 80 years old for you to see it, then I'll wait. I'm not going anywhere. This is it for me. You're it for me, and I can't pretend to feel any less than I do. I'm sorry. I just can't."
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 7.3)
"You're doing something that feels good temporarily, instead of 'healing the wounds.'"
-from Gossip Girl: Because I'm Worth It (Book 4)
"But it's the reluctant heroes of fairy tales that we fall in love with, over and over, despite their flaws."
-from Gossip Girl: Because I'm Worth It (Book 4)
"If anyone had passed by on the road, they'd have seen a mysterious girl ... looking defiantly sure of herself, even though the plot had changed and the script had to be entirely rewritten."

it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars, and those stars lead you back home ...
Lorelai: "Freeze-dried spaghetti?"
Luke: "Just add hot water. Eat it out of the bag."
Lorelai: "Am I gonna find hot water in here."
Luke (pulls a mini burner): "Gotta heat it up on the stove."
Lorelai (pulls our a knife): "Oh ... my god."
Luke: "It's a bowie knife. To cut fish, cut tree limbs."
Lorelai: "To amputate a leg?"
Luke: "Not a leg. It could do a foot."
Lorelai: "This is your back-country bag. Why did you bring your back-country bag?"
Luke: "I didn't know what this weekend was."
Lorelai: "You didn't know we wouldn't be performing surgery on each other?"
Luke: "I wanted to be prepared."
-Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.15)
"I was so scared, I was so terrified ... and I promised myself that if I could just get up, I'd walk over to you, I'd tell you how much I need you and how much I want you, and how nothing else matters."
-from One Tree Hill
"There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of, because when you put a face on it you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it."
-from One Tree Hill
"The only thing I really want is to see him laugh again. You know, hear him sing off-key. Watch him roll his eyes at me when I steal french fries off his plate. I guess what I'm trying to say is: I'm crazy for him."
-from One Tree Hill
"People always leave. But sometimes, they come back."
-from One Tree Hill
"Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is the measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize every day won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember, it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars, and those stars lead you back home."
-from One Tree Hill
"So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall. Because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination."
-from One Tree Hill
"You cannot run away from weakness; you must fight it out, or perish. And if that be so, why not now and where you stand?"

destiny is for losers ...
"God, that's terrible. It's like drinking a My Little Pony."

"Destiny is for losers ... It's just a lame excuse for letting things happen to you instead of making them happen."

"For once it might be nice if he forgot to think about things so much and just went with the damned flow."

"Despite [her] shortcomings, though, he always felt like they really knew each other -- after all, they'd grown up together. And the whole time they'd been going out, he'd felt like they were moving toward something. There was a destination, like the red pin he stuck in his nautical charts when he said his boat into harbor somewhere ... Their lives were moving forward at the same pace, separately, but together."
-from Gossip Girl: All I Want is Everything (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Blair loved how Nate already knew exactly what she wanted without her having to say anything, but she pretended not to notice."
-from Gossip Girl: All I Want is Everything (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She could see that Nate was trying to talk to her like nothing had happened, like he hadn't dumped her for a preschooler and spent the last month avoiding her entirely. It was kind of irritating, but it was also kind of wonderful, like the part in her screenplay where Audrey realized that Colin had been just as terrible to her as she'd been to him and she decided to love him even more for it."
-from Gossip Girl: All I Want is Everything (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Nate had never been in love with her, because he'd never stopped being in love with Blair. And because he lied and pretended he loved her, he wasn't even a good boyfriend."
-from Gossip Girl: All I Want is Everything (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"It wasn't really going to end, she decided now. Not with any sort of finality. The best stories never did. Maybe she'd just cut to the next morning. Audrey would have a funny little exchange with the deli guy she bought her coffee from. Then she would laugh to herself, take a sip of her coffee and walk out the door and into the street, leaving everybody guessing."
-from Gossip Girl: All I Want is Everything (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
-from Gilmore Girls (Episode 6.7)
"Destiny is for losers ... It's just a lame excuse for letting things happen to you instead of making them happen."
-from Gossip Girl: All I Want is Everything (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"If only she knew how to make the things she wanted to happen, happen, without f***ing them up completely."
-from Gossip Girl: All I Want is Everything (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"[He] was like the dumbest Labrador retriever. If you dangled a stick in front of him, he just had to have it, but if you threw a tennis ball, he forgot all about the stick and went after the ball."
-from Gossip Girl: All I Want is Everything (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"For once it might be nice if he forgot to think about things so much and just went with the damned flow."
-from Gossip Girl: All I Want is Everything (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"That was the nice thing about going out with your best friend. You didn't always have to talk."

i can't stand the idea of being just 'average' at anything ...
"I'm very organized. My friends think I'm kind of anal. I'm ambitious. I can't stand the idea of being just 'average' at anything. I'm determined. I push myself to do the best I can. I suppose I'm a little stubborn."

people in my life who are gone now ... people who I am haunted by in different ways ...
"Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to."
-from Miracle on 34th Street
"Arthur always believed that the best answers for life's questions could be found in the movies. Crazy idea, huh?"
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.14)
"This is about how when we go to the movies and you go to buy popcorn, you always make sure you bring back a napkin so I don't wipe grease on my jeans. And this is about how just last week when we were at miniature golf, you took all of the shots first so I would know the correct path."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.14)
"I stand before you aware of the similarities we share. I know that you're feeling, outside of my incredibly stage fright, the same things that I'm feeling -- pride and accomplishment, closure and regret, and a hopeful outlook on the future. But I don't think you need me to elaborate on those feelings. Instead, I wanted to share something personal and tell you that ... That people in my life who are gone now, people I miss very much and people who I am haunted by in different ways, but whether we're separated by death or merely distance, I know that they're still with me because I keep them in my heart. The truth is, in time, that's all we're going to be to each other anyway, this population of memories, some wonderful and endearing, some less so. But taken together, those memories help make us who we are and who we will be. So whether you're here and with each other now or you're merely in other's thoughts, remember each other on that road ahead."

he has this way of hanging onto things since he was like, twelve ...
"As my friend, I hurt him deeply. And living with that fact has caused me no small amount of guilt over the past three months. So yes, I have been preoccupied and it has made my mind wander."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.1)
"Take it from someone who spent the better part of last spring angry at the world -- it's not worth it. I mean, it might numb the pain a little bit, but it's basically just a distraction. My point is, if you do it right ... Loving somebody is gonna hurt and the sooner you let yourself feel that, the sooner you'll be able love again."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.2)
"Look, I know that things between you and I are pretty much beyond repair right now. And I wouldn't presume to be able to solve everything with a conversation, 'cause that'st just not the way it works. But I've been wanting to tell you that I'm sorry ... I'm really sorry for teh way everything went down this spring. For my part in it, for the pain that it must have caused you. And I'm really sorry that I ruined our friendship, because I miss it, badly. And uh, however far off it may be, I do look forward to the day when you and I might be friends again. So, until then ..."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.3)
"[He] has this way of hanging on to things since he was like, twelve. You know, sure, he outgrows them in their proper perspective, but that doesn't always mean that they're gone. Sometimes, I think they're just waiting around for the right moment to come out again ... And maybe if he thinks there's the slightest chance ..."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.6)
"Wherever we go next, it's hard to imagine life without you."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.6)
"You don't face your issues ... You just take them outside. You keep doing that and you're going to do a hell of a lot more than just painting alone."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.7)
"You'll come to realize that you don't always lose people from your life by choice. Sometimes it just happens when you make the wrong ones."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 4.7)
"Do you have any idea how rare it is to have friends that you've known your entire life? So please, don't underestimate that -- because in the end, you always go back to the people that were there in the beginning."

he took something from me. he took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small, i didn't even notice, you know? he wanted me to be something that i wasn't.
"He took something from me. He took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small, I didn't even notice, you know? He wanted me to be something that I wasn't, and I made myself into what he wanted. One day, I was me, Cristina Yang, and then suddenly I was lying for him, and jeopardizing my career, and agreeing to be married and wearing a ring, and being a bride. Until I was standing there in a wedding dress with no eyebrows, and I wasn't Cristina Yang anymore. And even then, I would've married him. I would have. I lost myself for a long time. And now that I'm finally me again, I can't. I love you. I love you more than I loved Burke. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me because when you asked me to ignore Teddy's page, you took a piece of me, and I let you. And that will never happen again."-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 6.13)
"There's constant pressure to adapt to changes. It can be a painful process. But without it, you'll find yourself moving backwards instead of forwards ... We have to keep reinventing ourselves almost every minute because the world can change in an instant, and there's no time for looking back. Sometimes the changes are forced on us, sometimes they happen by accident, and we make the most of them. We cosntantly come up with new ways to fix ourselves. So we change, we adapt, we create new versions of ourselves. We just need to be sure that this one is an improvement over the last."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 6.14)
"Nate didn't understand why, at seventeen, you had to map out your entire life. There would be plenty of time for more school after taking a year or two off ... And yet, all of his classmates at the St. Jude's School for Boys were planning to go straight to college and straight to grad school after college. The way Nate saw it, they were signing their livse away without thinking about what they really wanted to do."
-from Gossip Girl: You Know You Love Me (Book 2)
"If only she and Nate could have the kind of romantic fights couples had in movies. First they would yell hurtful things at each other until she began to cry. She would grab her purse and her coat, fumbling with the buttons because she was so upset. Then, just as she was shakily opening the front door, preparing to walk out of his life forever, he would come up behind her and wrap his arms around her, holding her tight. She would turn around and look searchingly up at him for a moment ... In the end, he'd beg her to stay."
-from Gossip Girl: You Know You Love Me (Book 2)
"What do you get for a boy to remind him that he loves and wants you more than ever?"
-from Gossip Girl: You Know You Love Me (Book 2)
This next one is just a phrase in Latin -- it's used in Gossip Girl: You Know You Love Me (Book 2) but it obviously wasn't coined there or anything ...

love does not conquer all ... love ends and begins again ...
"Pain. It comes in all forms. The small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain, the normal pains that we live with everyday. Then there's the kind of pain you can't ignore. A level of pain so great that it blocks out everything else, makes the rest of your world fade away until all we can think about is how much we hurt. How we manage our pain is up to us. Pain. We anesthetize, ride it out, embrace it, ignore it. And for some of us, the best way to manage pain is to just push through it. ... Pain, you just have to ride it out, how it goes away on its own, hope the wound taht caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers. You just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time, pain can be managed. But sometimes, the pain gets you when you least expect it, hit way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain ... You just have to fight through it, because the truth is, you can't out run it, and life always makes more."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 2.5)
"As friends, as human beings, we all try to do the best we can. But the world is full of unexpected twists and turns. And just when you've gotten the lay of the land, the ground underneath you shifts and knocks you off your feet. If you're lucky, you'll end up with nothing more than a flesh wound, something a band-aid will cover. But some wounds are deeper than they first appear and require more than just a quick fix. With some wounds, you have to rip off the band-aid, let them breathe, and give them time to heal."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 2.20)
"We all go through life like bulls in a china shop. A chip here, a crack there. Doing damage to ourselves, to other people. The problem is trying to figure out how to control the damage we've done, or that's been done to us. Sometimes, the damage catches us by surprise. Sometimes, we think we can fix the damage. And sometimes, the damage is something we can't even see. ... We're all damaged, it seems. Some of us more than others. We carry the damage with us from childhood, then as grownups, we give as good as we get. Ultimately, we all do damage. And then, we set about the business of fixing whatever we can."
-from Grey's Anatomy (Episode 2.24)
"You know what you think you're leaving behind here is just going to be that much bigger when you're out there alone."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.23)
"For what it's worth, I'm not over the pain of this either. Letting go isn't a one-time thing. It's something you have to do over and over again, every day."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.23)
Pacey: "You never asked me to stay. Ever."
Joey: "That's not my decision."
Pacey: "Yes it is. It always has been. You may be too afraid to make it, but let's be honest with each other here -- the decision to be together or not be together has always been yours."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.23)
"You know, I may be undecided, Pacey, but at least I'm not running away. You can dress it up anyway you want, it still comes down to the same thing -- you're giving up."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.23)
"The first time my parents got married, they were very young. They were just out of college. And um, I remember looking at the photo album as a kid and wondering why I wasn't in any of the pictures. It's hard when you love someone that much to imagine them having this entire life that you weren't even there for. And I have to say that being here today, experiencing this first-hand, finally getting to be in all the pictures - I wouldn't trade this for anything. 'Cause I'd much rather be a part of what you have now than what you had then - the point where everything is forgiven. And I think that that's really what love means. That you can forgive anything. So, to my parents, who taught me that love does not conquer all. That love ends and begins again."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.23)
"You have to see for yourself. I can stand here and tell you that it's a colossal mistake and that all roads lead back to me, but that's not going to make any bit of difference. Words and speeches sound great, but they don't add up to anything."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.23)
Dawson: "So why does it hurt so much?"
Andie: "Because our pain makes us real."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.23)
Joey: "I think I'm in love with you."
Pacey: "You think, or you know?"
Joey: "I know. I've known since the moment kissed me and maybe even before that. As scary as it is, I don't want to deny it anymore, Pacey. I don't want to run from it and I don't want to let it run from me."

Dawson: "So why does it hurt so much?"
Andie: "Because our pain makes us real."
-from Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.23)
Joey: "I think I'm in love with you."
Pacey: "You think, or you know?"
Joey: "I know. I've known since the moment kissed me and maybe even before that. As scary as it is, I don't want to deny it anymore, Pacey. I don't want to run from it and I don't want to let it run from me."

we're going to stage an intervention with the neon post-its and make them give up their wacky, crazy ways ...
Loving you the way I do
I know we're gonna make it through
And I will go to the ends of the earth
'Cause darling, to me that's what you're worth
Where you lead
I will follow anywhere
That you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely
And so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train
Where you lead
I will follow anywhere
That you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
I always wanted a real home
With flowers on the window sill
But if you wanna live in New York City
Honey, you know I will
You never know how it's all gonna turn out
But that's okay
Just as long as we're together
We can find a way
-"Where You Lead" by Carole King and Louise Goffin (aka the "Gilmore Girls" theme song)
Rory: "I'm going to a serious school now, I need serious paper."
Lorelai: "Paper's paper."
Rory: "Not at Chilton."
Lorelai: "Alright, fine. Here is your serious paper."
Rory: "Thank you."
Lorelai: "Oh and here are your somber highlighters, your maudlin pencils, your manic-depressive pens."
Rory: "Mom ..."
Lorelai: "Now these erasers are on lithium so they may nseem cheerful but we actually caught them trying to shove themselves in the pencil sharpener earlier."
Rory: "I'm going home now."
Lorelai: "No, wait! We're going to stage an intervention with the neon Post-its and make them give up their wacky crazy ways."

perhaps you should start figuring out right now, because the guy that comes along is not going to be your best friend and he's not going to ask for your permission. the guy that comes along is going to take one look at that woman and just cut right in on ya ...
Why do I do just as you say?
Why must I just give you your way?
Why do I sigh?
Why don't I try to forget?
It must have been that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "I have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall 'til we met.
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who could make me be true
And could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad
Thinking of you.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
-"It Had to be You" by Frank Sinatra
"The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long -- you're just sad, that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid, and you don't know what you're afraid of."
-Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's
"Anything that's worth anything is scary."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.1)
"How could I possibly know what it's like to let somebody go, right? How hard it is to let someone go? The pain of knowing that even though the two of you are right for each other, that doesn't necessarily mean you're right for each other right now. What would I know about that, right? How could I possibly know that sometimes, it just makes you want to scream, hit somebody, or sit out at the end of a dock and cry."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.1)
"We talk like we know what's going on, but we don't. We don't have any idea. Look, we're really young and we're going to screw up a lot! You know, we're going to keep changing our minds and ... and sometimes even our hearts. And through all of that, the only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness. And I couldn't do that. Or at least, I did it too late. Don't let yourself get so angry that you stop loving, because one day, you wake up from that anger and the person you love will be gone."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.2)
"It's just your friends who have to sit here and suffer through the ... morality play. ... Ho-bags willing to put out need not audition."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.3)
"There are certain things in life you're just better off not knowing. And things that you wish you never knew, never asked and never saw."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.3)
"Did you ever stop to think about how much hormonally charged energy you waste on these quick quips and the biting banter? Your life would be considerably more productive if you would just take some more, ah ... oh what is that? More, ah ... action! If you took more action!"
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.4)
"It's the sweet ones that you have to watch out for -- they'll run you over like a Mack truck."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.5)
"You have to have faith that sometimes, things happen when they're least expected."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.5)
"See the hostility? The way they're weary with each other, not to mention the constant bickering and name calling. Now these two are clearly in the early stages of some screwball mating ritual."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.9)
Pacey: "How long did you think it was going to be before some guy comes along and is interested in her? I mean really, dude. And when that happens, what are you going to do?"
Dawson: "I ... I'm just going to take it all as it comes."
Pacey: "You're going to take all as it comes, hombre? Well, perhaps you should start figuring out right now, because the guy that comes along is not going to be your best friend and he's not going to ask for your permission. The guy that comes along is going to take one look at that woman and just cut right in on ya."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.9)
"She's obviously got something that makes boys in emotional turmoil just flock to her."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.9)
"The way something looks from afar might be quite different from the way it appears to your near-sighted eye."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.10)
"I also wanted to remind you that, even though sometimes my emotions - particularly jealous - uh, sometimes get the best of me, I still hear you. No matter how much we yell, or no matter how quiet you are. I hear you."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.11)
"There is no time constraint on how long you can care about someone, no limit on how much -- especially if they've been so much a part of your life already."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.12)
Dawson: "What I don't understand is that you and Dad seem to really like each other, still care about each other."
Gale: "Well we do, honey. Which is what makes the knowledge that we're better off apart even more difficult to bear. I mean, think about your own life."
Dawson: "What about it?"
Gale: "You and Joey. The decision to break up isn't made in one sitting. It's cumulative. You have to re-decide over and over each day."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.12)
"You know you love someone when you can spend the entire night just sitting by the fire, watching him sleep."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.12)
"She ain't easy, alright? She's physically incapable of keeping her mouth shut for more than two seconds at a time. She's got an opinion about everything. I mean, it's uncanny."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.12)
"Why do I feel like I fell asleep on a train and woke up the protagonist in a Kafka story?"
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 3.17)
"The only reason that you don't have any answers is because you've been too scared to ask yourself the right questions."
-Dawson's Creek (3.19)
"But the stubborn falcon wasn't ready to give him up. All she could do was tuck her head under her wing and wait."
-from It Had to be You (Gossip Girl prequel) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She was perplexingly unpredictable. She'd laugh for hours if she spotted a cloud shaped like a toilet seat, or something equally as ridiculous, and the next moment she'd be wistful and sad. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking most of the time."

growing up sucks. not all kisses are magic, and most boys do not live up to your expectations ...
"You've been everything to me. And I have been your sidekick, your confidant, your other half for so long and that's how our relationship works. And it's a nice place for you, but for me, it's scary. 'Cause I realized that aside from you, I don't have anything. My entire life is attached to you."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 2.4)
"The two times I fell in love Dawson, they were both with you. The first time I fell was for my friend, the boy down the creek, the one I grew up with. And the second was after you kissed me. I fell in love all over again. Just because we aren't together doesn't change my feelings for you."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 2.7)
"Growing up sucks. Not all kisses are magic, and most boys do not live up to your expectations. But there are those times when everything -- I mean love, romance, relationships -- it all falls together perfectly and it's incredible. It's those moments, no matter how depressingly few and far between, that make growing up worth it."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 2.7)
Dawson: "I see you've graduated from fruit bowls."
Joey: "We're doing life-sketching. Nude models -- so we're supposed to see the human form; a mass of lines and shadows."
Dawson: "Really?"
Joey: "I'm working on it."
Dawson: "And he does poses for you?"
Joey: "Yeah ..."
Dawson: "Don't you find that uncomfortable? Just sitting in a room with some guy completely in the buff right in front of you?"
Joey: "No."
Dawson: "Does he like ... talk or anything?"
Joey: "Oh yeah. He sings, tells jokes, does a little soft-shoe. No, he doesn't talk, Dawson. He's a model. He sits there."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 2.10)
Dawson: "Here I am, single, sandwiched in between two women who both dumped me. I am pathetic."
Jen: "Hey, look at me -- I'm dating a Bible-thumping hypocrite, okay?"
Joey: "Hey, my boyfriend may be gay."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 2.15)
"Look, it was never about looking for something better, Dawson. It was about looking for someone who wasn't so close to me. Where I could tell where I ended and he began. I mean, our lives have always been so intertwined that in many ways, I feel like you partially invented me ... And that scares me so much. I need to find out if I can be a whole person without you. I need to find out if I can be a whole person -- alone."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 2.16)
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 2.4)

i'm not that girl anymore. i never really was ...
"I'm just saying that every guy that grows up to be one of the good ones ... He was probably a dweeb with girls when he was fifteen, too."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 1.4)
Jen: "So what would you do?"
Joey: "Same as you - I'd get hurt, mad, confused; ask people for advice, maybe the wrong people. And then I'd wait."
Jen: "For what."
Joey: "For him to grow up, come around. Everything."
Jen: "And how long does that take?"
Joey: "Don't go by me. I'd probably be stupid enough to wait forever."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 1.4)
Grams: "I used to be a big fan of motion pictures. Frank Capra -- It's a Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Pocketful of Miracles. Simple desires fulfilled, aspirations realized."
Dawson: "Fears of abandonment turned into fantasy spectacles of security and joy. Frank Capra and Steven Spielberg were often compared for their thematic content."
Grams: "What I like most about those movies is the fact that no matter how far off the pedestal the character fell, they always got a second chance. Forgiveness is one of the greatest gifts the Lord has given us. With it, comes understanding."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 1.4)
"I'm not that girl anymore. I never really was. And I'm not that white-as-snow image you've got, either. I'm somewhere in between and I'm just ... I'm just trying to figure it out."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 1.4)
"I can't apologize for my past. I mean, I've learned from it. I'm a better person. It's gotten me here. And this is my chance to start over. It's my chance, and I would really be nice if you'd be a part of that."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 1.4)
Joey: "You of all people should know that a cliffhanger is merely a manipulative TV standard designed to improve ratings."
Dawson: "No, a cliffhanger's purpose is to keep people interested. Keep them guessing what's going to happen in future episodes."
Joey: "But just like in our own lives, they are so predictable. I mean, the producers put the characters in some contrived situation hoping the audience will think something is going to change. But you know what? It never does -- back to the same way it was before your so-called cliffhanger. It's boring, Dawson."
Dawson: "Well, what if this time it's different. What if this time in the cliffhanger, something changes? You wouldn't want to miss that, would you?"
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 1.13)
"She's great. I mean, she's smart, she's beautiful, she's funny. She's a big ol' scaredy cat. If you creep up from behind her, she'll jump out of her skin. It's pretty amusing. She's honest. She always calls them just like she sees them. You can always count on getting the truth from Joey, even if the truth hurts. She's stubborn. We fight a lot. She can be so frustrating sometimes. But she's a really, really good friend. I know her to a fault. She believes in me -- and I'm a dreamer, so it's good to have somebody like that in my life. If she goes away, I don't know what I'm going to do. I mean, she's my best friend, you know? She's more than that. She's everything."
-Dawson's Creek (Episode 1.13)
"If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with a lot of rain."
-Unknown
"It is not always by thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost."--Richard Bach
