Popular Gilmore Girls 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.
Emily: You took that girl and completely shut us out of your life.
Lorelai: You wanted to control me.
Emily: You were still a child.
Lorelai: I stopped being a child the minute the strip turned pink, okay? I had to figure out how to live. I found a good job.
Emily: As a maid. With all your brains and talent.
Lorelai: I worked my way up. I run the place now. I built a life on my own with no help from anyone.
Emily: Yes, and think of where you would have been if you'd accepted a little help, hmm? And where Rory would have been. But no, you were always too proud to accept anything from anyone.
Lorelai: Well, I wasn't too proud to come here to you two begging for money for my kid's school, was I?
Emily: No, you certainly weren't. But you're too proud to let her know where you got it from, aren't you? Well, fine, you have your precious pride and I have my weekly dinners. Isn't that nice? We both win.
Lorelai: Behold the healing powers of a bath. So, tell me about the guy.
Rory: You know what's really special about our relationship? The total understanding about the need for one's privacy. I mean, you really understand boundaries.
Lorelai: So tell me about the guy.
Rory: Mom!
Lorelai: Is he dreamy?
Rory: Oh, that's so Nick at Night.
Lorelai: Well, I'm gonna find out anyway.
Rory: Really? How?
Lorelai: I'll spy.
Lorelai: So tell me about the guy.
Rory: Check, please.
Lorelai: No, really, are you embarrassed to bring him home?
Rory: I'm not embarrassed.
Lorelai: Does he talk at all?
Rory: No, Mom, he's a mime.
Emily: Well, let's sit everyone. This is just wonderful. An education is the most important thing in the world, next to family.
Lorelai: And pie. (silence) Joke, joke.
Lorelai: Is something burning?
Sookie: My bangs earlier. Go on, go on, go on.
Rory: When are you going to let your parents know that you listen to the evil rock music? You're an American teenager, for God's sake.
Lane: Rory, if my parents still get upset over the obscene portion size of American food, I seriously doubt I'm gonna make any inroads with Eminem.
(to Sookie about Rory) This is it. She can finally go to Harvard like she's always wanted, and get the education that I never got, and get to do all the things that I never got to do. And then I can resent her for it, and we can finally have a normal mother-daughter relationship.
Lorelai
Lorelai: It's here. It happened. She did it.
Sookie: Okay, I'm gonna need a little bit longer sentence.
Mrs. Kim: So, how was school? None of the girls get pregnant, drop out?
Lane: Not that we know of.
Rory: Though come to think of it, Joanna Posner was glowing a little.
Mrs. Kim: What?
Lane: Nothing, Mama. She's just kidding.
Mrs. Kim: Boys don't like funny girls.
Rory: Noted.
Dean: My family just moved here from Chicago.
Rory: Chicago? Windy. Oprah.
Lorelai: (speaking to Luke) Wow, you look nice. Really nice.
Luke: I had a meeting earlier at the bank. They like collars. You look nice, too.
Lorelai: I had a flagellation to go to.
Luke: So, what'll you have?
Lorelai: Coffee, in a vat.
Rory: I'll have coffee also. And chili fries.
Luke: That's quite a refined palate you got there.
(Luke walks to the counter)
Lorelai: (to Rory) Behold the healing powers of a bath.
