Episode Quotes |
| |
Lorelai: Now, these erasers are on lithium so they may seem cheerful, but we actually caught them trying to shove themselves into the pencil sharpener earlier.
| 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.
| (after walking into a globe at the parent's meeting)
Lorelai: What in the world?
| Lorelai: Can parents come?
Mom #1: What?
Lorelai: Yeah, it's a big exciting test. I just thought - I'm sorry, is that stupid?
Max: No, it's not stupid.
Lorelai: I just thought I'd like to see the excitement.
Dad #2: It's a test.
Lorelai: Yeah, I know.
Dad #2: What's exciting about a test?
Lorelai: Do you play golf?
Dad #2: Yes I do.
Lorelai: You explain yours, I'll explain mine.
| Rory: Oh my god, I just got hit by a deer!
Lane: You hit a deer?
Rory: No, I got hit by a deer!
Lane: How do you get hit by a deer?
Rory: I was at a stop sign and it hit me.
Lane: Was it a 4-way stop?
Rory: What does that matter?
Lane: I don't know. I don't know what to ask after you've been hit by a deer.
| Lorelai: I hate when I'm an idiot and I don't know it. I like to be aware of my idiocy, to really revel in it, take pictures. I feel we missed a prime Christmas card opportunity.
| Michel: There's a man with a funny accent on the phone asking for you.
Lorelai: Really? Did you guys exchange the secret handshake?
| Lorelai: This school is so different from Stars Hollow you know. They send home like a thousand pages of updates every week. It's a very intense place.
Sookie: Uh - huh.
Lorelai: Last week there was a huge debate over whether plaid scrunchies were acceptable head wear. People took sides, things got ugly, the scrunchie motion finally passed and I'd like to think I was the tie breaker.
| Rory: Lorelai, go to your room!
Lorelai: Wow, smart girls are mean!
| Michel: Can I kill her?
Lorelai: Not before high tea.
Michel: Fine, then I will curse you constantly and in several languages.
| Lorelai: Sweetie, mommy can’t get up right now. Mommy’s been sleeping at a right angle all night.
| Sookie: Fine is a word you use when someone stops you on the street that you sort of know but you don’t wanna talk to, so they ask you how you are and you say fine and that’s just enough so they don’t have to keep talking because they don’t want to. And then they can feel good about themselves because they’ve been considerate enough to ask and then if God forbid something actually is wrong they’ll actually sit down and take the time to listen, even though they don’t want to.
