Quotes from Presenting Lorelai Gilmore
Rory: Maybe we should leave.
Lorelai: Are you kidding? We've got dinner theater here.
Rory: This is not how you raise a child. You don't send them out there with a false sense of pride because out there, in the real world, no one will coddle you. I'd rather know now right now if I'm gonna be working at CNN or carrying a basket around its offices with sandwiches in it.
Luke: Go upstairs and change that shirt.
Jess: I like that shirt.
Luke: How can you like that shirt?
Jess: It brings out my eyes.
Rory: I'm coming out.
Lorelai: Out of what?
Rory: Out to society.
Lorelai: What are you talking about?
Rory: I went to grandma's house after school.
Lorelai: Okay, right away, bad.
Rory: And, um, her D.A.R. friends were all there and they're talking about this debutante ball that's being thrown.
Lorelai: Oh no.
Rory: And when I got back from grandpa's office they all invite me out onto the patio.
Lorelai: No, no, no, please tell me you did not go out onto the patio.
Rory: I went out onto the patio.
Lorelai: Oh, Rory, that's like accepting the position as the drummer in Spinal Tap.
Rory: Before I knew it, grandma was telling me how important it is for a person to be properly presented to society.
Lorelai: Uh!
Rory: And how every young girl dreams of this day.
Lorelai: Ah!
Rory: And how there are flowers.
Lorelai: Oh, Lord!
Rory: And music.
Lorelai: Please!
Rory: And cake.
Lorelai: Oh, yeah, the cake's actually good.
Lorelai: This is all the stuff I ran away from, I just assumed you'd be running with me.
Christopher: I figured you had a lot going on what with the engagement and the cancelling of the engagement. How's that going, by the way?
Lorelai: Oh, still cancelled.
Christopher: You okay?
Lorelai: Good... and even better when I'm not talking about it.
Christopher: Moving on, then.
Lorelai: Rory's coming out.
Christopher: Out of what?
Rory: He definitely said "definitely?"
Lorelai: Definitely.
Rory: So there's a fifty-fifty chance!
Lorelai: I don't know, he sounded pretty sure, I'd say sixty-forty.
Rory: Remember Neil Young. Remember that you love me. Remember that I'll be watching Battle Bots with you for a month.
Rory: Dad!
Christopher: Whoah, hold it right there. A lady never runs out to meet a gentleman caller who hasn't been announced.
Rory: Sorry, we haven't tamed my wild ways yet.
Lorelai: Work!
Christopher: You've heard of it?
Lorelai: Yes, but I didn't think you had.
Christopher: Well, it took awhile. I kept getting it mixed up with nap, but then I figured it out.
Miss Patty: Dean, are you leading?
Dean: I have no idea.
Christopher: May I have this dance?
Lorelai: I don't know, do you have a trust fund? Always make sure.
Dean: Hey, uh, do you think it's cool when Neil Young wears a tux?
Christopher: Yeah, of course, but it's Neil Young.
Libby: They say four out of five debs marry their escorts.
Rory: Kind of like the dentists with Trident.
Lorelai: You saved me, I love you, I want to have your baby. Oops, too late.
Rory: What do you think?
Dean: I think you look like a cotton ball.
Rory: Do me a favor?
Christopher: What?
Rory: Just don't let me fall.
Christopher: Right back atcha.
Luke: Back from the ball, huh.
Lorelai: Yes. I left behind a glass slipper and a business card in case the prince is really dumb.
