Rory Quote #82
Quote from Rory in Rory's Dance
Rory: See, there's this thing at my school on Saturday. Well, it's not really at my school, but it's kind of given by my school.
Dean: What is it?
Rory: Well, it's this kind of thing where you go, and they play music and you're supposed to get dressed up and dance, and then there's chicken.
Dean: Chicken?
Rory: Well, I don't know if there's chicken. But at these kinds of things they often serve chicken because it's probably cheaper and people eat it. So the logic behind the chicken choice really isn't that bad.
Dean: I'm lost.
Rory: It's a dance.
Dean: Ah.
Rory: And it's not like I'm dying to go or anything, but it is a new school and being a part of the social activities is really important at Chilton.
Dean: So are you asking me to go to a dance with you?
Rory: No. Yes. I mean, if you wanted to go, I would go, too.
Dean: Well, that would probably be good since it's your school.
Rory: Right.

Quote from Emily
Lorelai: Well, see, we didn't actually have a big use for the crystal candlesticks. So I kind of... exchanged them.
Emily: For what?
Lorelai: A monkey lamp.
Emily: Pardon me?
Lorelai: It's a lamp with a bunch of monkeys on it.
Emily: Baccarat crystal candlesticks for a monkey lamp?
Lorelai: They're really, really happy monkeys, Mom.
Emily: Where is this lamp? I want to see it.
Lorelai: It's right there on the desk.
Emily: Oh, my God! They're holding coconuts and leering.
Lorelai: It's funny.
Emily: You traded my lovely gift for a semi-pornographic, leering monkey lamp? How could you? This is not just about the bad greeting of returning a gift. This goes to the very heart of the question of taste. You were given something of substance, and you cast it off for a ridiculous, slightly sinister barroom decoration? Explain this to me, Lorelai.
Lorelai: My back hurts.
Quote from Rory
Dean: You brought a book to the dance?
Rory: Yeah.
Dean: You thought there'd be a lot of downtime?
Rory: No. I just take a book with me everywhere. It's just habit.
Dean: So, uh, what are you reading?
Rory: The Portable Dorothy Parker.
Dean: "There's little in taking or giving There's little in water or wine This living, this living, this living Was never a project of mine'. Cheery.
Rory: Funny, though.
Quote from Emily
Emily: You do not go running out the door when a boy honks.
Lorelai: Mom, it's fine.
Emily: It certainly is not fine. This is not a drive-through. She's not fried chicken.
Rory: But I told him to honk and I'd meet him out there. We agreed.
Emily: I don't care what you told him. If he wants to take you out, he will walk up to this door and knock, and say, "Good evening", and come inside for a moment like any civilized human being would know to do.
Lorelai: Now, Mom, this is silly. I have met him already.
Emily: Well, I haven't.
Lorelai: Yeah, but-
Emily: We will wait until he comes to the door.
Rory: He doesn't know he's supposed to.
Emily: He will figure it out. [car honks] [silence] [car honks] He's not a very bright boy, is he?
Lorelai: Mom, please. [doorbell rings]
Emily: Don't rush. A lady never rushes.
