Lorelai Quote #1510

Quote from Lorelai in The Nanny and the Professor

Lorelai: So everyone in the entire world knew the plural of cul-de-sac was culs-de-sac?
Richard: Yes.
Lorelai: Okay. So Mariah Carey is out with some friends and she's had a couple cocktails, she glances down from the roof and says, "Oh, look at all those culs-de-sac."
Rory: Why are they on the roof?
Lorelai: It's a rooftop bar.
Richard: How have you been saying it?
Lorelai: Cul-de-sacs.
Richard: And no one ever corrected you?
Lorelai: No, because that's the way it should be. Even if it isn't technically correct, it should be pronounced that way.
Rory: Mom, Mom, just let it go.
Lorelai: I will never let this go.

Quote from Michel

Michel: I just want to know where my office is going to be.
Lorelai: Fonzie used the bathroom as his office.
Sookie: Yeah, what are you saying, that what's good enough for the Fonz isn't good enough for you?
Lorelai: Yeah.
Michel: Fonzie used that bathroom office only intermittently and not for any business for which he was paid.
He had use of a private office at the auto shop he worked at, then access to the teachers' lounge where he taught night school part time.
Lorelai: Oh my God, you're taking this Fonzie thing way too seriously.

Quote from Lorelai

Richard: You brought up Toblerone. I just said it was better than that because I think it is.
Emily: Marzipan is candy. You like candy.
