Lorelai Quote #2087

Quote from Lorelai in Twenty-One is the Loneliest Number

Richard: Lorelai, Rory is turning 21 years old in 10 days. Do you realize that?
Lorelai: Yes, Dad, I realize it.
Richard: She's 21. That's not a child. 21-year-olds need to be working towards something.
Lorelai: Rory will figure it out.
Richard: Oh, please, she's 21. I couldn't tie my shoe at 21.
Lorelai: Well, Rory's advanced. She had the shoe thing down at 3.
Richard: I'm getting a little tired-
Lorelai: No, I'm getting a little tired of this conversation. I'm not interested in your plan. I'm not going to bribe my daughter with cars and money, mainly because it wouldn't work. And if you'd ever met Rory, you would know it wouldn't work. Rory can't be bought, and I'm not gonna try and buy her. I want Rory to want to go back to school. She used to love to learn and read and study. And that was freakish, but it was her. And she's got to get herself back there.
Richard: But-
Lorelai: No, when Rory wants help, she will ask for it. And the minute she does, I will fly in faster than the Gulfstream I'm sure you're gonna offer to buy her next. But until then, I'm sorry, you're on your own.
Richard: Impossible girl.
Lorelai: My native American name, I believe.

Quote from Sookie

Sookie: I can't believe Rory's turning 21. It seems like just yesterday she was crying because you told her Charlotte Bronte couldn't come to her sleepover... because she's dead.

Quote from Paris

Paris: That's right. Paris Geller is the new editor of the Yale Daily News. I was worried about the intimidation factor 'cause people tend to be afraid of me, but I campaigned hard and I really worked the "my parents left me broke" angle, got a little sympathy vote, and the next thing I know, I am the man.
Doyle: My woman is the man.
Paris: I mean, it's so incredible. Last year, I was sleeping with the editor.
Doyle: And this year, I am.
Paris: I can't wait. The changes I'm going to make.
Doyle: Hold on to your hats, people.
Paris: I'm going to crack that whip, raise that bar. The last person that ran the shop was too busy ironing his petticoat to put out a decent paper.
Doyle: That's about to change.
Paris: You know it is.
