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
