Lorelai Quote #10

Quote from Lorelai in Pilot

Lorelai: [on the phone] I'm holding for Miss Bell. I've been trying to get ahold of her all day. Lorelai Gilmore. Hi. Oh, hi, hi. Yeah, my daughter Rory has just been accepted. Yay. [chuckles] Thank you. And I got the invoice for your enrollment fee. Wow, that is a lot of zeroes behind that five. Uh-huh. Okay, I guess what I'm wondering is if you couldn't take, say, part of it now, just to get her going? But she's supposed to start Monday. It just doesn't give me a lot of time to pull a bank job. Well, never mind. I was just kidding. No, a bank job is robbing a bank, but... No. [sighs] Uh-huh. Oh, no. No, no, no. I don't want you to give up her space. I'll just... I'll have to figure it out. Okay. No, thank you. It's been a real treat talking to you. Yeah. Bye-bye.

Quote from Dean

Dean: After school, you come out and sit under that tree there, and you read. Last week it was Madame Bovary. This week it's Moby Dick.
Rory: But why would you-
Dean: Because you're nice to look at. And because you've got unbelievable concentration.
Rory: What?
Dean: Last Friday, these two guys were tossing around a ball and one guy nailed the other right in the face. I mean, it was a mess. Blood everywhere, the nurse came out the place was in chaos, his girlfriend was freaking out and you just sat there and read. I mean, you never even looked up. I thought, "I've never seen anyone read so intensely before in my entire life. I have to meet that girl."
Rory: Maybe I just didn't look up because I'm unbelievably self-centered.
Dean: Maybe, but I doubt it.

Quote from Michel

Lorelai: [phone rings] Michel, the phone.
Michel: Mm-hmm. It rings.
Lorelai: Can you answer it?
Michel: No. People are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to any more of them.
Lorelai: You know who's really nice to talk to? The people at the unemployment agency.
Michel: [answers phone] Independence Inn, Michel speaking. No, I'm sorry, we're completely booked.

Quote from Richard

Rory: So, Grandpa, how's the insurance biz?
