Quotes from the Pilot
Rory to Lorelai: God, RuPaul doesn't need this much makeup.
Joey: I've never been through here before.
Lorelai: Aw, you have too.
Joey: Oh, hi.
Lorelai: Oh, hi! You really like my table, don't you?
Joey: I was just, uh...
Lorelai: Getting to know my daughter.
Joey: Your...?
Rory: Are you my new daddy?
Joey: Wow, you do not look old enough to have a daughter. No, I mean it. And you do not... look like a daughter.
Lorelai: That's possibly very sweet of you. Thanks.
Joey: So, daughter. You know, I am traveling with a friend.
Lorelai: She's sixteen.
Joey: Bye.
Lorelai: Drive safe.
Rory: I'll tell all the ladies what a stud you are.
Michel: I believe that memo has already been sent.
Rory: You have to go to the hayride with him?
Lane: And his older brother.
Rory: Oh, now you're kidding.
Lane: Koreans never joke about future doctors.
Lorelai: I want to take a bath in this sauce.
Sookie: Then we'll make more!
Lorelai: Someday, when we open our own inn, diabetics will line up to eat this sauce.
Rory: You know, it sucks that after all these years your mom still hates me.
Lane: She doesn't hate you.
Rory: She hates my mother.
Lane: She doesn't trust unmarried women.
Rory: You're unmarried.
Lane: I'm hayriding with a future proctologist. I have potential.
Lorelai: Is something burning?
Sookie: My bangs, earlier.
Lorelai: This is it. She can finally go to Harvard like she's always wanted and get the education that I never got and get to do all the things that I never got to do and then I can resent her for it and we can finally have a normal mother/daughter relationship.
Rory: You're happy.
Lorelai: Yeah.
Rory: Did you do something slutty?
Lorelai: I'm not that happy.
Lorelai: What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
Sookie: You can have anything I own. My car! Sell my car!
Lorelai: Oh, sweetie, no one wants your car.
Rory: Today, I was so excited, I dressed for gym.
Lorelai: Oh, you're kidding!
Rory: And I played volleyball.
Lorelai: With other people?
Rory: And I learned that all this time I was avoiding group sports?
Lorelai: Yeah?
Rory: Was very smart, 'cause I suck at them.
Lorelai: Well, hm, you got that from me.
Sookie: You feel like duck?
Lorelai: Ooh, if it's made with chicken, absolutely.
Lane: I have to have a pre-hayride cup of tea with the future doctor. How do I look? Korean?
Rory: Spitting image.
Lane: Good.
Dean: Lorelai. I like that.
Rory: It's my mother's name too. She named me after herself. She was lying in the hospital thinking about how men name boys after themselves all the time, y'know, so why couldn't women. She says her feminism just kind of took over, but personally, I think a lot of Demerol also went into that decision. I never talk this much.
Luke: Red meat can kill you. Enjoy.
Miss Patty: Hands in the air, not in the nose!
Lorelai: You're gonna have to walk faster than that. You're gonna have to turn into friggin' Flo Jo to get away from me!
Lorelai: Does he have a motorcycle? 'Cause if you're gonna throw your life away he better have a motorcycle!
Lorelai: You will kick your own butt later if you blow this.
Rory: Well, it's my butt.
Lorelai: Good come back.
Rory: Thank you.
Lorelai: You're welcome.
Rory: So, do we go in or do we just stand here re-enacting The Little Match Girl?
Emily: It's not every day that I have my girls here for dinner on a day that banks are open.
Rory: So, grandpa, how's the insurance biz?
Richard: Well, people die, we pay, people crash cars, we pay, people lose a foot, we pay.
Lorelai: Well, at least you have your new slogan.
Rory: Mom?
Lorelai: I'm okay, I just... Do I look shorter? 'Cause I feel shorter.
Luke: I can't stand it. This is so unhealthy. Rory, please, put down that cup of coffee. You do not want to grow up to be like your mom.
Rory: Sorry, too late.
