Quote from Kiss and Tell
Lorelai: Are you crazy? You can't watch Willy Wonka without massive amounts of junk food. It's not right. I won't allow it. We're going in. [Rory stands still] Rory, it's fine.
Rory: It's too weird.
Lorelai: I'm gonna have to meet him eventually.
Rory: Okay, how about next year?
Lorelai: I'm going to be so cool in there, you will mistake me for Shaft.
Rory: There will be no interrogation.
Lorelai: I swear.
Rory: No kissing noises. No stories from my childhood. No referring to Chicago as ChiTown. No James Dean jokes. No father-with-a-shotgun stares. No Nancy Walker impressions.
Lorelai: Oh, come on.
Quote from Kiss and Tell
Rory: That's my mom.
Dean: She's got energy.
Rory: Yeah, well, she's 90% water, 10% caffeine.
Quote from Rory's Dance
Dean: You brought a book to the dance?
Rory: Yeah.
Dean: You thought there'd be a lot of downtime?
Rory: No. I just take a book with me everywhere. It's just habit.
Dean: So, uh, what are you reading?
Rory: The Portable Dorothy Parker.
Dean: "There's little in taking or giving There's little in water or wine This living, this living, this living Was never a project of mine'. Cheery.
Rory: Funny, though.
Quote from Forgiveness and Stuff
Lane: You went shopping.
Rory: Yes, I did. I got a mooing cow-shaped timer for Sookie some Cardio Salsa tapes for Michel, a book for Dean.
Lane: You got Dean a book?
Rory: Yeah, Metamorphosis.
Lane: Metamorphosis?
Rory: It's Kafka.
Lane: Very romantic.
Rory: I think it is romantic.
Lane: I know I've always dreamed that some guy would get me a really confusing Czechoslovakian novel.
Quote from Concert Interruptus
Rory: Tomorrow.
Lane: Wow.
Rory: Yep.
Lane: All three of them, huh?
Rory: "Double, double, toil and trouble."
Lane: Well, it should make for an interesting afternoon.
Rory: "With the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."
Lane: You're doing well in Shakespeare class?
Rory: Not bad.
Quote from Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers
Dean: It's depressing.
Rory: It's beautiful.
Dean: She throws herself under a train.
Rory: But I bet she looked great doing it.
Dean: I don't know, I think maybe Tolstoy's just a little over my head.
Rory: No, that's not true. Tolstoy wrote for the masses, the common man. It's completely untrue that you have to be a genius to read his stuff.
Dean: Yeah, but-
Rory: Now, I know it's big.
Dean: Very big.
Rory: And long.
Dean: Very, very long.
Rory: And many of the Russian names tend to be spelled very similarly, so it's confusing.
Dean: Every single person's name ends with "sky". Now, how's that possible?
Quote from Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers
Dean: So, what book did you bring?
Rory: What?
Dean: Come on. You always bring a book, and I was just wondering what's the three-month anniversary book?
Rory: Actually, I brought The New Yorker.
Dean: A magazine, really?
Rory: It's the fiction issue.
Quote from The Breakup, Part 2
Lorelai: Rory, what's the matter?
Rory: Nothing. I just want to get started. I listed all the things we say we're gonna do on weekends but when weekends comes around you say they're too boring to actually do on a weekend day. So then you say we'll do them during the week which, of course, we never do. So... I think that we should get them all out of the way today once and for all. And to make it interesting, we should come up with, like, a reward system. So once we're done with everything on the list, we could go get manicures. Or we could go to that Swiss place for fondue for dinner. Or we could stuff our purses full of Sour Patch Kids and Milk Duds and go see the Stars Hollow elementary school production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf??
Lorelai: It's 6:00.
Rory: I know.
Lorelai: On Saturday morning.
Rory: That's right.
Lorelai: It's 6:00 on Saturday morning!
Rory: Do you want to wear docks or sneakers?
Lorelai: I want to wear slippers.
Rory: Up, please!
Quote from Nick & Nora/Sid & Nancy
Paris: Problem, Miss Gilmore?
Rory: No. No problem at all. I love this assignment.
Paris: I'm glad.
Rory: I'm going to write the greatest piece on pavement you've ever read.
Paris: I hope so.
Rory: And next week, when you give me the scoop on the new copper-plumbing installation, I'm going to be just as thrilled.
Paris: I like a team player.
Rory: And no matter how many crappy, stupid, useless assignments you throw at me, I'm not going to quit, and I'm not going to back down. So you can go home tonight and think about the fact that no matter what you do and no matter how evil you are, at the end of the year, on my high school transcript it will say that I worked on the Franklin. So, if you'll excuse me, I have some reading to do on the origins of concrete.
Paris: A thousand words on my desk on Tuesday.
Quote from There's the Rub
Dean: Since your mother's going to be gone, maybe I'd come over.
Rory: What? I was thinking of pulling kind of a hermit thing tonight.
Dean: Why?
Rory: I don't know. J.D. Salinger seems to dig it.
Dean: You don't want me to come over?
Rory: No, I just... I almost never get the house all to myself, and I thought with my mom gone I can finally do my laundry exactly the way I like it. You know, not separating into whites and colors, but the colors separated into darks, mediums, and lights. With a separate pile for white T-shirts and T-shirts with some kind of writing on them like "Rock Star", "Evil", or "Kafka Was Here".
Dean: You want to be alone to do laundry?
Rory: And watch TV, and eat the Indian food I love but my mom hates the smell of, and go to bed early, and...
