Luke Quote #216
Quote from Luke in A Family Matter
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 Lorelai
Lorelai: Were you supposed to meet me here?
Rory: No, I'm a surprise.
Lorelai: As was your conception.
Rory: I'll just be two minutes.
Lorelai: As was your conception.
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.
