Emily Quote #515
Quote from Emily in Merry Fisticuffs
Emily: It's not about the party. I've come to talk to you about your marriage.
Lorelai: My marriage?
Emily: Yes, I'm concerned. I don't like what I'm seeing, and I've come to offer you some friendly advice.
Lorelai: Mom, I really don't want your advice.
Emily: Well, then consider it unfriendly advice.
Lorelai: Okay.
Emily: Christopher is immature, often foolish, and a little lacking in common sense. He doesn't always make the best choices.
Lorelai: Like with me? Are you saying he chose wrongly in choosing me?
Emily: I'm saying he's your husband, Lorelai, for better or for worse. I like Christopher.
Lorelai: Okay.
Emily: I think he's good for you. But it's not going to be perfect. He's not perfect, and God knows you're not perfect. But marriage is not about always being happy, and often it's about not being happy at all. It's about compromise, which is not your strong suite. Marriage is about swallowing your pride sometimes, about doing what he wants. It's not about winning an argument, which may make you sad, because that's what you love. But I don't want to see you ruin this. Marriage is serious business, Lorelai, and if you don't take this very seriously, then this whole thing could fall apart faster than you could possibly imagine. And he'll be gone, and you'll be alone again. A ring is no guarantee. Sorry for scaring you.

Quote from Kirk
Kirk: You've got your stoking plant, your festive ornament collage, your snowman trio, your peekaboo Santa.
Miss Patty: Well, it's lovely, Kirk, but I already bought my wrapping paper from the kids from the Stars Hollow middle school.
Kirk: Well, then, you got ripped off.
Miss Patty: What?
Kirk: Those kids are gouging you. I'm selling the same wrapping paper for 20% less.
Luke: Aren't the kids selling the wrapping paper to help raise money for a new gymnasium?
Kirk: Yeah.
Luke: Well, why are you?
Kirk: To raise money for myself. I'm not a school, Luke. No one's raising money for me. I saw the opportunity to enter the market at a lower price point and I took it.
Miss Patty: Ho, ho, ho.
Kirk: What, schoolchildren are the only ones allowed to sell wrapping paper? It's a free country. [a boy enters] Hey, Jacob! Beat it. This is my territory.
Quote from Lorelai
Rory: [on the phone] So why would he do it?
Lorelai: I have no idea. Mars and Venus, you know?
Rory: Yeah, see, I don't think that's right. Because Mars and Venus are both planets, right? So they have something in common. I think it's more like Mars and a bowl of soup.
Lorelai: Venus and a bowl of soup.
Rory: What?
Lorelai: Venus is the woman. Venus and the bowl of soup.
Rory: Really, Mom?
Lorelai: Well, I'm just saying.
Quote from Lorelai
Emily: You're here.
Lorelai: I'm here!
Emily: You're 37 minutes late, but you're here.
Lorelai: Uh... traffic.
Emily: It's Sunday morning, Lorelai. The roads are empty.
Lorelai: Will you let me finish, Mom? Traffic cones everywhere. I mean, you wouldn't believe it. It's like a crazy obstacle course out there. It's a miracle I survived. Maybe we should do this another day when I'm less stressed from the traffic-cone dodging.
