Quotes from Rory's Birthday Parties


Emily to Lorelai: It must be very exhausting to be you.

Rory: So, is this party grandma's having gonna be a big deal?
Lorelai: Not really. The government will close that day, flags will fly at half-mast, Barbra Streisand will give her final concert... again. Now, the Pope has previous plans, but he's trying to get out of them, however, Elvis and Jim Morrison are coming, and they're bringing chips.
Rory: You ask a simple question....

Lorelai: You're serious?
Emily: According to you, I'm always serious.

Emily: Please be serious, we're shopping for Rory.
Lorelai: No, mom, I'm shopping for Rory, you're shopping for your imaginary granddaughter Barbara Hutton.

Luke: She's not here yet.
Lorelai: All right. Well, you'll have to entertain me until she arrives. Okay, burger boy, dance.
Luke: Will you marry me?
Lorelai: What?
Luke: Just looking for something to shut you up.

Rory: I've now used the word "sucks" so much that it's lost all meaning to me.

Lorelai: So, you know what I think?
Rory: What?
Lorelai: I think you're a great cool kid and the best friend a girl could have.
Rory: Backatcha.

Luke: Hey, wrong table.
Rory: Since when is there a right table?
Luke: Since the coffee cake I baked for you and the stupid balloons I blew up are at that table over there.
Rory: You blew up balloons for me?
Luke: Yep.
Rory: Aw, Luke, you old softy.
Luke: I count to three, it's gone.
Rory: Thank you.

Lane: Why are you smiling?
Rory: I'm just thinking about pudding.

Richard: Rory, who's your friend?
Rory: I don't know, but this is Tristan.

Rory: I now officially know what it feels like to have grown up here.
Lorelai: Mmm, it's not official until you're huddled in a corner eating your hair.

Rory: I'll be back in plenty of time to help you decorate.
Lorelai: No, this is your party, you do not work, you lounge and mock those who are. Have I taught you nothing?

Rory: You didn't have to get me anything.
Dean: I'm sorry, that's the rule, as you get older you get a gift.
