Babette Quote #38

Quote from Babette in The Long Morrow

Babette: I heard about the fight between you and Luke.
Lorelai: You did?
Babette: Yeah. You know Adrian Bittenberg's daughter, Becky? She got a huge mouth.
Lorelai: Becky is not a gossip.
Babette: But she has a huge mouth. And she and Eileen Whitewin were behind Doose's market seeing how many devil dogs Becky could stuff in there, and when she got up to four, completely cut off her oxygen. So Eileen went running over to Luke's to see if she could get some help, and then she saw the two of you in the streets screaming at each other.
Lorelai: Well, I'm glad she had the presence of mind to listen in on our argument while her friend was choking to death.

Quote from Lorelai

Rory: It's just a model rocket. I mean, what could that mean? Who gives someone a rocket?
Lorelai: I don't know. I don't know. We'll figure it out, though. Rocket, rocket, rocket. Rocket man. "Rocket Man." "Crocodile Rock" was good. "Bennie and the Jets," "Candle in the Wind."
Rory: Are you just naming Elton John songs?
Lorelai: He is just so talented.

Quote from Babette

Babette: You're back!
Lorelai: [screams] Oh! God, Babette, you scared me.
Babette: Yeah, it's my voice. It frightens the hell out of people. I don't know what to do about it.
Lorelai: Well, you could start by not hiding in people's houses and leaping at them when they come home.
Babette: It's the nodules.
Lorelai: Who?
Babette: It's the nodules on my vocal chords. The more I strain my voice, the more they grow. It's nature's way of trying to get me to talk softer.
Lorelai: Babette, one. Nature, nada.

Quote from Lorelai

Luke: Look, I'm sorry about yesterday, but you kind of ambushed me, out of nowhere, and then you didn't give me a chance.
Lorelai: I gave you every chance.
Luke: You were going so fast.
Lorelai: Yeah, that's me. I'm fast. I'm the perfect storm of caffeine and genetics.
