Quote from Lorelai in Will You Be My Lorelai Gilmore?
Lorelai: Oh, my God. The New York Times? Rory: The New York Times! Lorelai: They called you? Rory: They called me. Lorelai: Why did they call you? Rory: Well... Lorelai: Don't even answer. I mean, if I was the New York Times, I would be like, "Get me Rory Gilmore on the phone, stat." Rory: "Stat"? Lorelai: Whatever the equivalent of "stat" is in the news. Rory: "Now"? Lorelai: No! At the New York Times, the language is very fancy. You say "promptly," "presently," "two shakes of a lamb's tail."
