Lorelai Quote #1430

Quote from Lorelai in The Fundamental Things Apply

Emily: [on the phone] Do you know what one of life's great mysteries is?
Lorelai: Uh, Mom?
Emily: Whether or not you're going to be joining us for Friday night dinner. And since you pretend to be ignorant of the concept of the RSVP even though I know it was taught to you as a child, I am reduced to calling and asking you, are you coming?
Lorelai: Uh-huh.
Emily: Is that "Uh-huh, yes, I'm coming" or "Uh-huh, I was reading while you were talking"?
Lorelai: Tell you what, Mom - plan on me coming, and if I don't, then it'll just be a little more for everyone else.
Emily: Lorelai, you know very well our dinners do not work like that. There is careful planning and shopping and preparation that goes into every meal no matter how boring and simple it may seem to you.
Lorelai: Oh, Mom- [Lorelai throws food at Luke's back]
Luke: Hey, what- Get off that phone!
Lorelai: Oh, shoot, Mom, there's no cell phones in here. I'll call you back later. Bye. [hangs up] And when I need you, nowhere.

Quote from Luke

Lorelai: Hey, Luke. What's going on?
Luke: Oh, well, Tom called. The banister on the stairs has to be replaced. It'll be $4,000. Tamsin Cordally called. He needs a deposit on the quartersawn oak. It'll be $4,000. Julio the landscaper called. I have no idea what he said, but it's going to be $4,000. Vicki from Vicki's Horse Supply called. She thinks Pepper and Gunsmoke would suit your needs, but Gunsmoke snores, so the stables can't be too close to the guests' bedrooms. Rory's looking for her black Converse, and, oh, one last thing... I'm not taking messages for you anymore!
Lorelai: Sorry.
Luke: What did you do, have business cards printed up?
Lorelai: People just know I'm here a lot.
