Lorelai Quote #870

Quote from Lorelai in Help Wanted

Richard: Good Lord, this place goes on forever!
Lorelai: Oh, it goes on until chair mats and floor mats, but if you're not careful you'll loop back into inks and toners and be here all day. Stay close. Hey, there's a seat in the cart if you want a ride.
Richard: No, I'll pass. I mean, look at the scale of this place. No one needs all these options. It's oppressive. Hundreds of paper clips in every conceivable color and size. Now, who on earth would buy these things?
Lorelai: We would. Now, what's the first thing you do when you get to the office in the morning?
Richard: Well, let's see. I return the calls from Asia first.
Lorelai: That's right, you make coffee, so you need a coffee maker. Let's see. Ugly, crappy, German, ooh, pretty.
Richard: Well, as long as it's pretty.
Lorelai: Why is everything worth having just out of reach?
Richard: Is there no one here whose job it is to actually assist paying customers?
Lorelai: No. That's how they can afford to sell this baby for 40% off.
Richard: 40% off. I had no idea.
Lorelai: Nicely done, Dad. You won't be sorry.
