Richard Quote #48
Quote from Richard in Presenting Lorelai Gilmore
Richard: No. I didn't lose an account. I was taken off an account. I was taken off an account that I personally brought into this company 10 years ago.
Emily: There are other accounts, Richard.
Richard: I have been in charge of that account for 10 years!
Emily: How can you be so angry? Yes, they took you off that account but they also gave you a promotion.
Richard: Oh, Emily.
Emily: You said they moved you upstairs to a larger office and gave you a new title and a better parking space.
Richard: Emily, damn it! I am being phased out.
Emily: You are not.
Richard: What do you mean I'm not? I know whether I'm being phased out. I invented "phased out" for this company. Don't you think I did the exact same thing to Allen Parker?
Emily: Allen Parker retired.
Richard: Allen Parker was phased out. I now have his office. I now have his parking space. You know what happens from here? I lose more accounts slowly, but surely. They will put a younger man on them with me to be trained by the best. And then one day, they'll call and ask me to let that young man take a meeting without me, just to see how fast he's learning. And then, suddenly, that young man is given that account. And this happens again and again and again until I am nothing but a symbolic figurehead that they roll out for banquets and group pictures. And then, one day, Emily I will be asked to leave.

Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: My mother is great at getting someone to agree to something that in another universe they would never consider.
Rory: Mom.
Lorelai: I am still convinced she had something to do with Lily Tomlin doing that movie with John Travolta.
Quote from Lorelai
Lorelai: [on the phone] Now comes the reason for my phone call.
Christopher: All your regular 976 numbers were busy.
Lorelai: Now, I know this is totally not your thing but as you will remember, part of the coming-out process involves the girls being escorted around the dance floor by their dads.
Christopher: Ah.
Lorelai: Now, I know you would rather sit through Endless Love than ever be a part of this scene again but this is very important to your daughter, and she has never asked you for anything. And although no one's keeping track, it seems your constant non-presence in her life, and your lack of showing up when you say you're going to or calling when you say you're going to or basically doing anything when you say you are going to, would tend to indicate that you owe her big time. Now, before you say no, I want you to take a minute and remember you have a great daughter who needs you. And she has a mother who will hunt you down like a half-price Kate Spade purse if you disappoint her.
Quote from Lorelai
Rory: What is going on?
Lorelai: I don't know. I think George and Martha are joining us for dinner.
