Emily Quote #183

Quote from Emily in I Can't Get Started

Emily: The wedding is in one week?
Lorelai: Yes.
Emily: So this is a pity invite?
Lorelai: A what?
Emily: Someone canceled at the last minute and rather than being left with two empty seats Sookie asked you to ask us. How nice.
Lorelai: That's not what happened.
Emily: No, that's quite all right. Far be it for me to be invited with the first batch of actual wanted guests. This is just fine.
Lorelai: Mom, it's not a pity invite. She really wants you to come.
Emily: Is that so?
Lorelai: Yes, that's so.

Quote from Sookie

Sookie: Well, those are some alternative songs, but I really like this one.
Lorelai: Alternative songs? Good. Let's see. "Hey Jude"?
Sookie: Paul wrote it for Julian to cheer him up.
Lorelai: "Seasons In The Sun"?
Sookie: A sentimental favorite.
Lorelai: "Cat's In The Cradle"?
Sookie: Oh, it makes you reexamine your priorities.
Lorelai: "Don't Cry Out Loud?" Sookie, do you even like Jackson?

Quote from Michel

Lorelai: Michel, how is the RSVP list coming?
Michel: Well, I must say this has been especially challenging for me. When you are talking about a wedding with up to 40 people all living within a five-mile radius, how can one person be expected to keep track of all of that?
Lorelai: Just an answer will do.
Michel: You know, it got a little hairy there for a moment. I almost needed a second sheet of paper.
Lorelai: I'm not going to let you annoy me out of making you handle it.
Michel: Oh, we'll see.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: You know what I just realized? "Oy" is the funniest word in the entire world.
Rory: Hmm.
Lorelai: I mean, think about it. You never hear the word "oy", and not smile. Impossible. Funny, funny word.
Emily: Oh, dear God.
Lorelai: "Poodle" is another funny word.
Emily: Please drink up, Lorelai.
Lorelai: In fact, if you put "oy" and "poodle" together in the same sentence you'd have a great new catchphrase. Like, "Oy with the poodles already". [Rory laughs] So from now on, when the perfect circumstances arise we'll use our favorite new catchphrase: "Oy with the poodles already". I'm telling you, it's knocking "What you talking about, Willis?" out of first place.
