Lorelai Quote #17

Quote from Lorelai in Pilot

Lorelai: Listen, can we just start all over, okay? You tell me all about the guy, and I promise not to let my head explode. Huh? Rory, please talk to me. [sighs] Okay, I'll talk. Don't get me wrong, guys are great. I am a huge fan of guys. You don't get knocked up at 16 being indifferent to guys. Babe, guys are always gonna be there. This school isn't. It's more important. It has to be more important.
Rory: I'm going to sleep.
Lorelai: Rory, you've always been the sensible one in this house. Huh? I need you to remember that feeling now. You will kick your own butt later if you blow this.
Rory: Well, it's my butt.
Lorelai: Good comeback.
Rory: Thank you.
Lorelai: You're welcome.
Lorelai: Rory, come on.
Rory: I don't want to talk about this. Could you please, please just leave me alone?
Lorelai: Okay. Fine. [clears throat] We've always had a democracy in this house. We never did anything unless we both agreed. But now I guess I'm gonna have to play the mom card. You are going to Chilton whether you want to or not. Monday morning, you will be there. End of story.
Rory: We'll see.
Lorelai: Yeah, we will. [closes door]

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?
Richard: Oh, people die, we pay. People crash cars, we pay. People lose a foot, we pay.
