Gilmore Girls

Lorelai: (leaving Christopher a phone message) Hi, it's me again. Um, Dad's out of surgery, and it went well, and he's doing fine, so.....it's good news. I just wanted you to know.....because......I don't know why, because you haven't returned any of my calls, but I just thought I would, uh, tell you what's going on because......I'm your wife, and I think that's what I'm supposed to do. I have no idea how to be your wife, but I'm trying. You're my husband, you know, and it seems like you should be here or call me back. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's what married people do is be there for each other. I know you're upset, and I know we had a fight, but this is just bigger than that, you know? It's my dad, and he's had a heart attack, and everybody's been here. I've talked to Sookie and even Michel, and Patty, and Babette, and they've all been here for me, but......my husband's.......not here. That's not okay, Chris, you know? That's not okay.

Emily: I can hardly tell what anything is! What is that pale misshapen thing? Is that a sandwich or a piece of chicken? Lorelai: Maybe it's a chicken sandwich. Oh no, it's quiche. Emily: That's a quiche? Lorelai: That's quiche. Emily: That blobby white thing is supposedly quiche Lorraine? Lorelai: It doesn't say quiche Lorraine; maybe it's quiche blobby white thing.

(after Emily gives Luke some things to do and taking a call about fish) Lorelai: Sorry, we're all a little bit (waves her arms) and she read an article about how fish can prevent heart attacks and now she thinks it's the key to everything. Luke: Well, fish is good. Alright, I should get going. Lorelai: Okay, well, thanks. (later Luke returns to the hospital with bags of food from his diner) Luke: Alright, so look, I got a couple of burgers, an assortment of sandwiches, there's some salad, just in case all of a sudden you want to eat some salad. Alright? Couple pieces of pie, half a dozen chocolate chip cookies. (Christopher arrives at the hospital and sees them; he looks upset) And of course there is the fish bag. Lorelai: You brought a fish bag? Luke: Well, I heard somebody talking about fish. (Christopher approaches them) There's two filets, okay, lobster roll, fish taco, tuna fish sandwiches, some fried fish and fish sticks. Lorelai: (sees Christopher) Hey, you're here. Christopher: I'm here. Luke: Alright, well, I'm going to get going. Christopher: Yeah, you should. Luke: (gives him a pointed look, after a pause he tells Lorelai) I'm glad your dad's doing good. (leaves the hospital)

Luke: Hey, I was just in the diner and Babette came in and told me your dad had a heart attack. Lorelai: Yeah. Luke: I swear, I didn't even know what I was doing. I just walked right out of the diner and drove straight here. But now that I'm here, I realize I might be in the way. If there is anything I can do, I want to do it.

Zack: You know what was freaking me out before? I'm about to hand people food that they're going to eat. I could do anything to it and they would have no idea. I mean, they would just eat it! (looks at customers who have overheard him) Not that I would, of course. But it's just intense. Everything smells so good. I can see why Lane digs this job so much.

Logan: Emily, Lorelai, I'm so sorry. How are you holding up? Lorelai: We're holding. Emily: Logan, it was so good of you to come. Logan: Is there anything at all I can get for you? A cup of tea, maybe? Lorelai: Oh, I already asked her. She doesn't want tea. Emily: I would love a cup of tea, Logan. That is very kind of you. Logan: I'm on a tea hunt, then. (leaves) Emily: That's a fine young man there, Rory. Rory: (smiles) Yeah, I like him. Emily: He's one of the good ones.

Lorelai: Bing, why doesn't anybody name their kid "Bing" anymore? Rory: You could have named me "Bing." Lorelai: I thought about it but you didn't look like a Bing. Rory: I don't even know if I should be insulted.

Emily: These are things that need to be dealt with. Lorelai: No what has to be dealt with is that dad could be dying. What you're dealing with is phone calls and a checklist. You're not his secretary. You're his wife. Emily: Yes and what do you know about being a wife? You've been married for what -- 40 days? That's nothing. Your father and I have been married for over 40 years. For 2/3 of my life, I have been the wife of Richard Gilmore. I run his household. I plan his meals. I buy his clothes, entertain his business associates. When he loses his reading glasses, I find them. When he wants a nightcap. I make it for him. If he can't remember the name of a colleague's wife, I whisper it in his ear. That's what I do -- I take care of him. That's my job. That's who I am. If I could be performing his surgery right now, I would be, but I can't -- it's out of my hands. It's out of my hands, and there's nothing I can do but wait. I could lose him, Lorelai. He's my whole life, and there's nothing I can do!

Emily: Do we like this table or are we too close to that man with the IV. Honestly shouldn't there be a separate dining area for sick people, doesn't seem right.

Lorelai: It's not a cliché its more an over used saying like um "Sweating bullets" or "It's as cold as ice". Emily: Well some over used sayings are true, like "Children should be seen and not heard". Lorelai: "Mother knows best" Emily: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".

Emily: You do know how to drive a European car, don't you? Lorelai: Mom. Luke: Absolutely. Don't worry. Emily: There's nothing to yank. It's a jaguar, not a lawn mower.

Emily: Gilmore! Richard Gilmore! I'm his wife, and I would like to see him now. Nurse: I'm sorry he's in the cath lab right now getting an angiogram. But the doctor will come find you as soon as they're done. Emily: There's no need to be cheery about it. Nurse: I didn't mean… Emily: Honestly someone with your chipper personality ought to be a weather girl or a preschool teacher. Nurse: I'm sorry you feel that way. Emily: Oh, please. Don't mope.

Emily: I don't know if you like salmon. Lorelai: Uh, no, but I do like a nice, juicy, cedar plank.
