Gilmore Girls Season 1 Quotes
Christopher: And you brought up Bush because...
Lorelai: It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Lorelai: Did you just curtsy?
Rory: Shut up!
Lorelai: Sorry, milady.
(the morning after the dinner fiasco with Lorelai's and Christopher's parents)
Christopher: Lor?
Lorelai: What?
Christopher: I want to marry you.
Lorelai: And the hits just keep on coming.
(to Christopher) And to top off the whole fabulous fiasco, I stood up a friend of mine who was counting on me and - and he just stood there looking hurt with the paint and the chairs and it hurt me. And it's not your fault but in this parade of stupid and dumb, I am the one twirling the flaming baton!
Lorelai
Christopher: (on phone with Emily) Well, I'm actually sitting here with your girls. (hands the phone to Lorelai) She wants to speak to you.
Lorelai: Mm. Hi Mom.
Emily: Lorelai, Christopher's in town!
Lorelai: (gasps) What?! I didn't know! Although, coincidently I'm sitting across from an amazing Christopher hologram.
Straub: Tell me, Lorelai. What have you been doing with your life anyway, besides hating successful businessmen? I'm just curious.
Emily: Why don't we all go into the dining room?
Lorelai: Well, um, Straub, I run an inn near Stars Hollow.
Straub: Really?
Lorelai: Yes, really.
Christopher: Dad, come on.
Straub: Nice to see you found your calling.
Emily: Dinner's ready.
Francine: Christopher, your tie.
Christopher: Mom, please.
Straub: (to Lorelai) And is your life everything you hoped it would be?
Lorelai: Yes, it is.
Straub: Because it seems to me that you might not want to take such a haughty tone when you announce to the world that you work in a hotel.
Lorelai: (sigh) I've gotta see my parents.
Christopher: (sigh) I've gotta see my parents.
Rory: Ladies and gentlemen, the drama king and queen of Connecticut.
Emily: You remember Straub and Francine don't you?
Lorelai: Oh, yes, the Schnickelfritzes.
Emily: The who?
Lorelai: (rolls eyes) The Haydens.
Rory: (making a bed for her father on the couch) I just want him to be comfortable.
Lorelai: He's gonna come and go as he pleases, babe. You know that.
Rory: I know.
Lorelai: And no amount of bedding is going to change that.
Rory: But he's never been to Stars Hallow before.
Lorelai: I know.
Rory: So that means something's gotta be different, right?
Lorelai: Why don't you just enjoy the time you've got, okay?
Rory: (long pause) Yeah. Okay.
Rory: So where did you guys go?
Lorelai: Nowhere.
Rory: Where's nowhere?
Christopher: Where we were.
Lorelai: All right, I get it. I'm horrible. So why don't you disown me and adopt Christopher? You love him.
Richard: Oh, don't be a martyr, Lorelai. And don't be naive. Do you think I love the boy who got my daughter pregnant? I wanted to kill him. I would have, too, with my bare hands! But there was a proper procedure to be followed in a situation like this.
Lorelai: Marriage.
Richard: Christopher was willing to follow the plan we laid out. You weren't.
Lorelai: What about what I wanted? Dad, didn't that mean anything to you?
Richard: Sometimes, one has to sacrifice something in order to do what is right.
Lorelai: (speechless) I.....I feel indescribably sad for you right now, Dad.
Richard: Well, save your emotions, Lorelai. I've had quite enough of them tonight.
Richard: This little girl is quite smart, Strobe. She could even give you a run for your money.
Strobe: Oh? (Stares at Rory, who stares at the floor) I think my money will be safe.
