Babette Quote #6

Quote from Babette in Cinnamon's Wake

Babette: You know, I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself now. You live to take care of your kids.
Lorelai: I know, sweetie, but you gave her everything you had.
Babette: Yeah. She was so tiny when I got her, she could sleep in my shoe.
Lorelai: The other day, I came across a hat that I made for Rory. It was like a doll hat.
Babette: Oh, they grow up so fast.
Lorelai: And then they take your clothes.
Babette: I guess, eventually, you have to move on. Figure out what your life is gonna be when you're not busy taking care of somebody else. Jeez, look at this place. Not a clean glass in sight.
Lorelai: Let me help you with that.
Babette: Here, sugar, use this. Morey sits on it when he helps me.
Lorelai: How does Morey get around in here?
Babette: Oh, just fine. He had a couple of concussions his first year here. But he never complains. He's just the best thing. Don't know what I'd do without him.
Lorelai: Oh, Babette. What do you mean without him?
Babette: I saw on Oprah a few weeks ago she had on couples who lost a child. Most of the marriages went belly up for the pain of it all. Even though they loved each other.

Man: [speaks French]
Michel: No, sorry.
Man: [speaks French]
Michel: Sir, I'm a simple country boy from Texas. I do not understand this Francais business you're babbling about.
Lorelai: Pardon. He knows you are not from Texas.
Michel: Smile when you say that.
Lorelai: Michel, I told you there would be a French group here for a couple days and it's your job to keep them happy.
Michel: Lorelai, I don't know how many French people you've met over the years, but most of them are insufferable.
Lorelai: Really?
Michel: That is why I left France.
Lorelai: Huh. I thought it had something to do with the torches and the villagers. Michel, talk to them.
Michel: Never. You are giving me that look, aren't you? Your patented "do it or something unspeakable shall befall you" look. [sighs] Fine. I shall be French, but I shall not be happy.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: I really like him, Rory. I can't help it. It's been a long time since I've felt like this. You can't always control who you're attracted to. I feel like the whole Angelina Jolie-Billy Bob Thornton thing really proves that.
