Gilmore Girls

Lorelai: Well, let's call him. Rory: Now? Lorelai: Yes, yes, there's no time like the present, come on. His name is Darren Springsteen of Westport, Connecticut, Harvard class of '74. Uh! Ask if he has a brother named Bruce. Rory: I'm not gonna ask him that. (dials phone number) It's ringing. Lorelai: Hee! (Rory hangs up the phone) Lorelai: Why'd you hang up? Rory: I'm not good at these things. Lorelai: Did he answer? Rory: Yes. Lorelai: Yes? Rory, that's a really terrible first impression. (phone rings) Uh oh. Rory: Him? Lorelai: Maybe. Rory: He star sixty-nined us? Lorelai: Well, the Harvard people can afford all the latest technology. Answer! Lorelai: (on answering machine) Hey, you've reached Suffragette City, and if you're calling about Lane Kim's ad, sorry we're not in, but don't commit rock and roll suicide – just crank a message with some feedback. Rory: Oh geez. Lorelai: Well, if he is related to Bruce, he can dig it.

Lorelai: (to Rory) Hey, maybe instead of going to college, you should drop out and I could quit my job and we could form an all girl band with Lane. You know like Banana-Rama. We could call it... Tangerine-A-Rama or Banana-Fana-Fofana-...Rama or something.

Darren: Do you like sports? (Lorelai and Rory answer at the same tiem) Lorelai: Yes! Rory: No. Lorelai: That is, we follow certain things. Rory: We enjoy various aspects of certain sporting endeavors. Lorelai: But it wouldn't be that kind that you could ask any follow-up questions on. Rory: It's a general interest.

Lorelai: (about Rory getting into Harvard) Mom, everything's gonna be fine. Rory's special. Emily: Well, I know that and you know that, but those idiots at Harvard might not necessarily know that!

Lorelai: (reading Rory's Harvard application) "Mother's Name." Breathtaking. Rory: I think they just want your name. Lorelai: "Father's Name." Ostracized.

(Rory kisses Dean and goes running out of Luke's diner) Luke: Wow, fast runner. Dean: Must be the coffee. Luke: Not your face? Dean: What? Luke: Nothing, just missing my youth years. OK, I'm back.

Lorelai: (to Rory about getting into Harvard after having talked to Emily) All those people coming from China and India and God knows where else, they're all nuts for traveling – that's why they're traveling here! And jobs are dropping and dot-com bombing and something's acting like a yo-yo, I don't know what, but it's not good! And over my dead body is Kate Hudson getting your spot, let me just say that right now!

Lorelai: (to Rory about her meeting with Headmaster Charleston) Well, we spent the first ten minutes on him bugging me to volunteer for more stuff at school, or in lieu of that to make a donation to build the new basketball court, and then another couple of minutes of me convincing him that what sounded like me going "Ha!" was really me clearing my throat, but after that we had a very pleasant, productive conversation.

Rory: He's gonna be expecting Chilton High School senior Trixie McBimbo. Lorelai: And her mother, Bambi McBimbo.

Paris: (to Rory) What the hell did Romaine mean when he was going on about weeding out the hyper intense in the interview process? He stopped just short of calling me by name. I'm losing it!

Emily: So, she's meeting you here? Lorelai: Yeah, she had a thing after school, a rumble or something. She said she'd be over after. Emily: A rumble? Lorelai: Yeah, a bunch of kids meet in an alley, they pirouette, they pull knives, it's a whole to-do.

Luke: Taylor, no, no, no, no, and every day from now on 'til the end of my life, I am gonna come in here and say, "Taylor, no!" And when I die, I'm gonna have them freeze me next to Ted Williams, and when they find the cure to what I died of and they unfreeze me, my first words are gonna be, "How's Ted?" followed closely by, "Taylor, no!" Taylor: But the space is empty! Luke: Not for long. Taylor: And what are your plans for it? Luke: A skateboard and pop bottle shop. Taylor: That's not funny. Luke: With in-house experts to teach the craft of street slaloming. Taylor: Still not funny. Luke: Well, I'm not in a very funny mood! Kirk: Luke, are you taking applications for jobs at your skateboard and bottle shop? Luke: Yeah, I'm interviewing people today, Kirk. Kirk: Great. Shall I go home and change or will casual suffice? Luke: I like the going home part. Kirk: I don't understand.

Lorelai: We need perspective. Rory: We need therapy. Lorelai: And booze! (pause) For those of us over 21, of course.

(while filling out a college application together) Lorelai: State your full name. Better not get that one wrong, and nickname if any. Rory: That would be Rory. Lorelai: Or Droopy Drawers. Rory: That was never my nickname. Lorelai: Wrong! I called you that as a baby. Rory: What? Lorelai: That's right. Once you had these little Oshkosh cords and they were way too big. Once at the mall they fell right down to your knees and I said "Whoa there Droopy Drawers". I'm just afraid if we don't answer every thing accurately the Harvard police will come an hit you with an Atlas and say something mean in Latin.

Lorelai: This is an uncontaminated area. I even cleaned the table with something other than the sleeve of my sweater and spit! Rory: Lovely image.

Rory: (to Lorelai) Hold your horses there, little Miss Horsy-Holder. Lorelai: You know, they're going to expect a higher level of wit over at Harvard.
