Lorelai: Michel, I'm going out. Man the desk until I get back.
Michel: Are you sure you trust me with this job?
Lorelai: Michel.
Michel: I mean, I'll say I'll do it, but you could leave and I could put some fruit on my head and join a conga line somewhere.
Lorelai: I believe you looked for the bracelet, Michel.

Richard: Lorelai?
Lorelai: Yes, Dad?
Richard: May I speak to you for a moment?
Michel: (under his breath; in a sing-song voice) Someone is in trouble.

Michel: (on the phone at the inn) As soon as I can, I will send someone up ... Yes, I will ... I understand ... I understand ... I understand ... I understand ... I understand ... Okay ... I understand. Goodbye. (hangs up)
Lorelai: What do you understand?
Michel: I have no idea. I tuned him out at the first screech.

Michel: Stop that.
Rune: Stop what?
Michel: Stop jumping like a Mexican bean.

(Michel takes a painting off the wall so Rune can clean the top)
Rune: Well, I didn't know you could do that. I thought alarms would go off and guards would pop out.
Michel: That would be if this was a museum and you were the kind of person allowed in a museum.
Lorelai: Excuse me guys, no bickering in the lobby. (walks away)
Rune: Where are we allowed to bicker?

Mia: Michel, how nice to see you. Oh and look at that suit! You are quite the dandy, aren't you?
Michel: Well, I had a feeling that a lovely woman was going to be visiting today so I decided I must look my best for her.
Mia: I'm sorry, honey, I didn't catch a word of that.
Rory: He said he missed you.
Mia: You've been in the U.S. for quite some time Michel, your enunciation, should really be better by now.
Michel: The customers seem to understand me just fine.
Mia: I didn't get that either. Did you get the tapes I sent you?
Lorelai: (to Michel) Hey, maybe you should hit the desk. There are a couple of people looking for help.
Michel: Right away. Mia, I... (he salutes and walks off)
Mia: (to Lorelai and Rory) Are you too busy to sneak off with me for a walk?
Rory: Not if it's okay with the boss.
Mia: It's a demand at this point.
Lorelai: Let's go. Michel, hold down the fort.
Michel: Oh, it's a little slow now, so it's no problem.
Rory: (to Mia) Oh, he says that he's never liked and you and that you're a problem.
Michel: I said no such thing!
Mia: I don't know where this hostility comes from! Can we work this out?
Michel: There is nothing to work out.
Rory: He told you to get out!
Michel: I did not!
Mia: I don't know what I did to make him hate me.

Lorelai: (seeing her mother at table at the night club) What in Lucifer's reach is my mother doing here?
Michel: Oh, I invited her.
Lorelai: You what?
Michel: Just a little surprise for you. I thought it would be a kick.
(Lorelai walks up to Emily)
Lorelai: (to Emily) Excuse me sir. You look just like my mother.

I feel like crap on toast.

(Sookie wants Michel to choose a cookie)
Michel: I don't care.
Sookie: I just need a quick opinion!
Michel: It took me two seconds to tell you I don't care, that's as quick as I get.

Sookie: What are you doing?
Michel: I am weighing my turkey.
Sookie: Why?
Michel: A group of scientists did a study on rats where they cut their daily calories by 30%.
Sookie: And you felt left out?
Michel: No, the rats lived 30% longer. The scientists were so impressed that they cut their own calories just like the rats.
Sookie: It was a very nice display of solidarity.

(after screwing up the computer)
Michel: I pushed nothing 'funky.'
Lorelai: You have the funk, my friend.

(the Inn is overbooked)
Lorelai: Where did the Ruckers come from?
Michel: Judging from their clothing, a town where high rubber fishing boots and spittoons would be considered formal wear.

Gilmore Girls Quotes

(about the pants she's bought for Luke) I don't know what this fabric is, but I think I want to have its baby.

Lorelai

(to Rory) You can use your mother's old golf clubs. They're upstairs gathering dust along with the rest of her potential.
