Jess Quote #105
Quote from Jess in A Family Matter
Luke: So what did you get out of this Kerouac trip of yours? You write the great American novel or something? You learn how to play the harmonica?
Jess: What do you care, you're not my guardian anymore.
Luke: And I bless every day that I'm not.
Jess: Well, when you're not good at something, it's best to cut and run.
Luke: Aww, I'm sorry I tried to give you a decent life, Jess. I'm sorry I didn't think driving a fork-lift for the rest of your life was good enough for you.
Jess: Oh that is condescending, isn't it? I thought you were a friend of the working man.

‘A Family Matter’ Quotes
Quote from Luke
Luke: What a lie it all is!
Lorelai: All what is?
Luke: Families. I mean, they're just messes. It's like this spilled drink that just keeps spilling, and ya gotta keep cleaning it up, and you scrub and you scrub and you just can't get the stain up! Show me a happy family, just one. I mean, didn't that Tolstoy-guy say something about families?
Lorelai: Probably.
Luke: It's a famous thing he said. It's like: "all families are unhappy" or, or, or "happy on the surface", or "unhappy in the same way".
Lorelai: Sounds a little incomplete.
Luke: Well, y'know, maybe he couldn't complete the thought because he was dealing with his stinkin' family.
Quote from Paris
Rory: So, you're just sitting here watching TV?
Paris: I'm studying. Look at Ted Kennedy, huh? I always admired him as a senator, but you see him and think: It's just so unfair that fat men look good in suits. We girls get a couple of pounds and every piece of fashion betrays us.
Quote from Paris
Paris: It was his accent that did it. I'm such the total Anglophile. When I was a kid, I was in love with Neal Kinnock.
Rory: Who?
Paris: The former head of the Labour party. Teeth like a horse, but oh that voice. And then there was Roger Moore.
Rory: English accents are nice.
