Lorelai Quote #86

Quote from Lorelai in The Deer Hunters

Hanlin Charleston: My goodness, you do like to throw fits in your family.
Lorelai: What are you talking about?
Hanlin Charleston: Your daughter threw a similar, if not as manic, fit of her own this morning.
Lorelai: Oh, please. Rory doesn't throw fits. She's the most even-tempered person I know.
Hanlin Charleston: Well, she did a lovely impression of you.
Lorelai: Ms. Gilmore, everything you said in your rant was absolutely true without the colorful embellishments of course. We do set impossible standards and such standards do foster highly competitive children. However, that is life, and that is Chilton.
Lorelai: Rules can change. You can change them.
Hanlin Charleston: I told your daughter when she came here, that this place was not for everyone and might not be for her. I will now tell you the same thing. She doesn't have to be here. She doesn't have to go to Harvard. Maybe she shouldn't. If she can't handle the pressure, she should leave. Now, you're going to take your daughter home now and decide what it is you intend to do. However, another outburst like this from either of you will not be on the options list. Thank you for coming in. That will be all.

Quote from Sookie

Sookie: He said my risotto was fine.
Lorelai: Isn't it?
Sookie: No, it's not fine. Fine is a word you use when someone stops you on the street that you sort of know, but you don't want to talk to. They ask you how you are, and you say "Fine." And that's enough so they don't have to keep talking to you, "cause they don't want to. Then they can feel good because they've been considerate enough to ask and if, God forbid, something actually is wrong they'll actually sit down, take time and listen, even if they don't want to.
Lorelai: Sookie, I don't think he meant fine as a slam or as a monologue.
Sookie: He couldn't have meant it any other way.
Lorelai: Sookie, I hate to see you get so upset over one little review.
Sookie: This is pride, Lorelai. I mean, you know about this risotto. I mean, on my mother's deathbed-
Lorelai: You made the risotto and she lived three more years.
Sookie: She was supposed to be dead. The doctor said she wouldn't live through the night.
Lorelai: And she lived because of the risotto, the magic risotto.
Sookie: And this guy had the nerve to say it was fine.
Lorelai: I don't think he knew the story.

Quote from Lorelai

Rory: I'm sorry.
Lorelai: You should have told me.
Rory: I couldn't.
Lorelai: You couldn't tell me? You tell me everything.
Rory: It was too humiliating.
Lorelai: Honey, you once told me that you loved Saved By the Bell. What could be more humiliating than that?
