Quote from Emily in Presenting Lorelai Gilmore

Richard: I understand that your social engagements are important.
Emily: They're not just social engagements.
Richard: Anything at which you serve tea is a social engagement.
Emily: That's it. I am going to get a tape recorder so you can hear how pompous and condescending you sound.
Richard: What- Emily-
Emily: No, I don't want you to take my word for it. I might be delirious from all that tea I've been drinking.

Quote from Lorelai

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.
