Lorelai Quote #1581

Quote from Lorelai in The Incredible Sinking Lorelais

Luke: Anything I can do?
Lorelai: You know, there are very few times in my life when I find myself sitting around thinking, "I wish I was married," but today, I mean... I'm happy. You know? I like my life. I like my friends. I like my stuff. My time, my space, my TV.
Luke: Yeah, sure.
Lorelai: But every now and then, just for a moment, I wish I had a partner, someone to pick up the slack. Someone to, uh, wait for the cable guy, make me coffee in the morning, meet the stupid sink before it gets sent back to Canada. What happened? I just thought I had everything under control, but I didn't, and the inn is just falling apart. This has been my dream forever, and I have it, and it's here, and I'm failing. I can't handle it. I just spend every minute running around and working and thinking. And I thought I would have help, but Sookie has Davey, and Michel has Celine, and I'm... I can't do it all by myself. And I don't even have time to see my kid, and hell, forget see her, just even talk to her. And I miss her. And I sat there in my parents' house just listening to my grandmother basically call me a charity case, and I couldn't even argue with her. I couldn't even say anything, because I am. I'm running out of money, and I don't know what to do about it, and I was gonna, I was gonna ask you for $30,000 at dinner tonight. That's how pathetic I am.
Luke: Thirty thousand dollars. Well, okay, I mean if you...
Lorelai: I don't want to talk about it now. I don't want to think about it. [sobs] I'm failing. I'm failing.
Luke: You are not failing.
Lorelai: I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
Luke: It's okay.

Quote from Lorelai

Lorelai: [leaving a message] Hi, Rory, it's me. How's school? You learning stuff? Listen, we have the horses, Desdemona and Cletus, and the first two rides have to be me and you. And hopefully, you're over the time that I took you for the pony ride, and the pony was old and just sort of stopped and laid down, and you sort of rolled off into the ditch. It's really not likely to happen again. I promise. So, call me, call me.

Quote from Michel

Lorelai: Michel?
Michel: I'm at the Tally Rand making the money that keeps me from having to stand at expressway off-ramps selling bags of cherries.

Quote from Rory

Rory: [leaving a message] Mom, it's me, I left you a message at home, too. I love that you got horses. As far as that pony ride when I was a kid, you were forgetting one little tidbit there. That pony did not lie down. He died, okay? He died. And then the owner dragged him away by the back legs. Every time I use glue, I think of him. But I'll watch you ride, how's that? Call me back, bye.
