Michel Quote #211
Quote from Michel in I Get a Sidekick Out of You
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 Lorelai
Lorelai: You know, I remember the day I met Lane. It was Rory's first day of kindergarten, and she insisted on wearing my Chico and the Man t-shirt, which I thought would either elicit confused shrugs or label her as a weird '70s-sitcom kid. And we walked in the classroom, and Lane came running up to her and offered to share her crayons with her. And I was so grateful, 'cause I thought even if Lane turned out to be a psycho, bad-seed, serial-killer kid, at least Rory had a friend. Who knew it would turn out to be a lifelong friendship?
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.
