Rory Quote #704
Quote from Rory in I Get a Sidekick Out of You
Rory: Hi, everyone, I'm Rory Gilmore. I'm the maid of honor.
Lorelai: To Rory!
Christopher: To Rory!
Rory: I'm not one for speeches, and I don't have any incriminating pictures of Lane to share, but I do have this letter. This letter was written in 1995 by one Lane Kim. It was slipped into my hands during a spelling test in Miss Mellon's class. I was so shocked by its contents that I missed the word automobile-- o-t-t-o-mobile. That's right, Lane. I remember. I will now share with you the contents of this letter. "Dear Rory, how was your lunch? Mine was bad. Did you have ham again? If you did, I am sorry, but mine was worse. I thought you should know that today at recess I decided that I'm going to marry Alex Backus. He has a very nice head, and his ears don't stick out like Ronnie Winston's do. I will love him forever, no matter what. See you at brownies. Love, Lane." I just thought that Zach should know that in your heart, he will always be second place to Alex Backus and his well-proportioned ears.
Lane: It's true.
Rory: But the bottom line is, I love you, Lane. Congratulations. To the bride and groom.

Quote from Michel
Michel: What time are you picking me up tomorrow?
Lorelai: Noon.
Michel: Oh, noon is fine. That will give me plenty of time to get ready. You know, I hope you don't stay out too late tonight. You'll be tired for tomorrow.
Lorelai: I will not be tired.
Michel: I wouldn't drink too much, either. You'll be puffy.
Lorelai: Okay, I'll keep it to half a box of wine, max.
Michel: I'm just saying, tomorrow is a very special day. You need to be perfect.
Lorelai: Okay, I'm not getting married, Michel.
Michel: [chuckles] I know that, but you are going to be with me, and I'm going to look fantastic, and you know that who you are with is always a reflection of yourself, and I don't want my reflection to look like Judy Garland, the Mark Herron years.
Quote from Lane
Mrs. Kim: Marriage is a job, Lane. There are rewards that come with this job, but there are also sacrifices. There are things you're going to have to do.
Lane: Things?
Mrs. Kim: Terrible things.
Lane: Mama, you don't have to-
Mrs. Kim: You need to hear this. You need to know what to expect. It will start early.
Lane: What will?
Mrs. Kim: The man's expectations. It starts early. At the wedding, actually. At the wedding, you're going to have to kiss him.
Lane: Mama.
Mrs. Kim: You will then be expected to share a bed tonight, and when you're in that bed, you're expected to-
Lane: Mama, please.
Mrs. Kim: You're going to have to do it with this boy, Lane. You're just going to have to do it. Hopefully, if you're lucky like me, you'll only have to do it once. [Lane groans]
Quote from Paris
Paris: When I first started writing, I believed passionately that tenure was a reward for excellent service and a way for a school to attract the very best teachers from all over the country.
Rory: Let's go with that.
Paris: But once I finished writing, I started thinking about the other side of the argument - money and employment for the rest of your life, no matter what? Where is the incentive to keep the standards high? I mean, remember Professor Leavers? He got tenured and lost all interest. Just sat there, dowdy and sleepy. It was like being taught by Jimmy Kimmel.
Rory: Anti-tenure, stamp it, ship it.
Paris: I was thinking, maybe you could print both pieces.
Rory: What?
Paris: Side-by-side, like a point/counterpoint.
Rory: You want me to print a point/counterpoint where both points are written by the same person?
Paris: Bold, huh?
Rory: You have five minutes to pick a side.
