Rory Gilmore Quotes
Rory: So, do we go in or do we just stand here re-enacting The Little Match Girl?
Lorelai: Okay, look. I know you and me are having a thing here, and I know you hate me, but I need you to be civil, at least through dinner and then on the way home you can pull a Menendez. Deal?
Rory: Fine.
Dean: So, how are you liking Moby Dick?
Rory: Oh, it's really good.
Dean: Yeah?
Rory: Yeah, it's my first Melville.
Dean: Cool.
Rory: I mean, I know it's kind of clich to pick Moby Dick as your first Melville but hey, how did you know I was reading Moby Dick?
Dean: Uh, well, I've been watching you.
Rory: Watching me?
Dean: I mean, not in a creepy, like, "I'm watching you" sort of way. I just - I've noticed you.
Rory: Me?
Dean: Yeah.
Rory: When?
Dean: Every day. After school you come out and you sit under that tree there and you read. Last week it was Madame Bovary. This week it's Moby Dick.
Rory: But why would you
Dean: Because you're nice to look at, and because you've got unbelievable concentration.
Rory: What?
Dean: Last Friday these two guys were tossing around a ball and one guy nailed the other right in the face. I mean, it was a mess, blood everywhere, the nurse came out, the place was in chaos, his girlfriend was all freaking out, and you just sat there and read. I mean, you never even looked up. I thought, "I have never seen anyone read so intensely before in my entire life. I have to meet that girl."
Rory: Maybe I just didn't look up because I'm unbelievably self-centered.
Dean: Maybe, but I doubt it.
Rory: So did I ask you if you like cake?
Dean: Yeah, ya did.
Rory: Oh, because they have really good cake back there. (Dean laughs)
(after leaving Emily and Richard's house)
Lorelai: Do I look shorter? 'Cause I feel shorter.
Rory: Hey, how about I buy you a cup of coffee.
Lorelai: Oh yeah. You drive though. Ok? 'Cause I don't think my feet will reach the pedals.
Michel: (to Lorelai while Rory's looking for stamps) What is your offspring doing?
Rory: I need stamps, can I have these?
Michel: No.
Lorelai: Take them.
Luke: Coffee, and fries (looks at Rory as she's sipping her coffee). I can't stand it. This is so unhealthy. Rory, please. Put down that cup of coffee. You do not want to grow up to be like your mom.
Rory: Sorry, too late.
Rory: I don't want to talk about this. Could you please, please just leave me alone?
Lorelai: Okay, fine. We always had a democracy in this house. We never did anything unless we both agreed. But now I guess I'm going to have to play the mom card. You are going to Chilton whether you want to or not. Monday morning, you will be there, end of story.
Rory: We'll see.
Lorelai: Yeah, we will!
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.
Lane: Koreans never joke about future doctors. So, I guess you're not going, huh?
Rory: No, I'm still fuzzy on what's fun about sitting in the cold for two hours with a bundle of sticks up your butt.
Rory: Don't expect me to clear it up for you.
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.
Rory: (when she sees the Chilton skirt) I'm gonna be in a Britney Spears video?
Sookie: You're going to Chilton! (Lorelai smacks her arm) Sorry.
Lorelai: You did it babe. You got in.
Rory: How did this happen? You didn't sleep with the principal did you?
Lorelai: No honey, that was a joke.
Rory: (wearing her Chilton skirt) Mom, so what do you think?
Sookie: Wow, it makes you look smart.
Rory: Okay, no more wine for you. (to Lorelai) Mom?
Lorelai: You look like you were swallowed by a kilt.
Rory: Fine, you could hem it. A little, only a little.
Lorelai: Okay. Or I could hem it a lot.
Rory: No, you're not. I don't want it to be too short.
Rory: How many meals is it gonna take 'til we're off the hook?
Lorelai: I think the deli spread at my funeral will be the last one.
