Rory Gilmore quotes from Gilmore Girls

Well, there they are, the two most lovely ladies in the room.

Emily [glares]: Hello, Logan. [To Rory] I have to check on your cake. [She leaves.]

Huh. Is it me, or could the penguins march through here?

Rory

She's probably mad because she found out we're having sex.

She what?

Rory [shrugs]: She found out we're having sex.

How the hell'd she find that out?

Rory [sweetly]: I told her minister.

But - but, why would you do that?

Rory

Because - he was going on and on about my virtue being a gift, and now you have it, so I'm going to have to buy the next guy a sweater! I just wanted him to stop.

And all this without a drink in my hand.

Rory

Come on, let's get you a Rory.

Ah. Dealing with this family is stressful.

Rory

Oh, tell me about it. And once you've had that drink, I can tell you how I've been moved out of the pool house and into a room right next to my grandparents. So from now on, we'll have to have sex in our invisible suits. [Logan's head falls.] Two Rorys, please.

S6 Twenty-One Is the Loneliest Number

Does your grandfather know also?

Rory

Oh, yeah.

Logan [to the bartender]: Make it four.

Rory

What are you doing here?

I got a job. Professional driveway skulker.

Rory

Pay's good?

Yeah, but the hours suck.

View quote →

So I just basically wanted to show you that....and tell you... tell you that I couldn't have done it without you.

Rory

[touched] Thanks.

View quote →

I parked in the street so she wouldn't see.

Rory

You're very good at covert ops.

Years of practice, so where d'you wanna go?

Rory

I don't know, I don't know the area that well.

You LIVE here!

Rory

I know, but Hartford's still a mystery. [Jess shakes his head] Even when I went to Chilton, I got right on the bus and headed home, so I don't even have any old high school hangouts to revisit. And these days I've just been eating here.

View quote →

Well, I just prefer not going some place that has food in the title.

Rory

Meaning?

Olive. Chili. Soup. No gardens, no plantations.

Rory

Got it. Something funkier.

Steer me to the college district, I'll find us something funky.

Rory

Jess! Wait! [she catches up with him] Jess, I'm sorry.

We shouldn't have done this.

Rory

He's just in a bad way lately-

He's a jerk!

Rory

He was in there, definitely. I am SO sorry.

I read that guy the second I saw him, I should have begged off.

Rory

Well, I didn't want you to!

He'd better not come out here!

Rory

Please, Jess, he had a lot to drink, he's tired from travelling... this isn't him, I swear.

What the hell is going on?

Rory

I told you! He's tired, and his family's bugging him right now-

No, I mean, with you! What's going on with you?

Rory

What do you mean?

You know what I mean! I know you, I know you better than anyone! This isn't you!

Rory

[defensive] I don't know.

What are you doing? Living at your grandparents' place - being in the DAR - no Yale - why did you drop out of Yale?!

Rory

It's complicated!

It's not, it's not 'complicated'!

Rory

You don't know!

This isn't you! This! You going out with this jerk? With a Porsche? We made fun of guys like this!

Rory

You caught him on a bad night.

This isn't about HIM! Okay? Screw him! What's going on with you? This isn't you, Rory, you know it isn't! What's going on?!

Rory

[defensive] I don't know! [softly, unsure] I don't know...

You're not gonna believe this. Over the music, the crowd, I hear one girl's voice cutting through all the folk singers, she's in the corner with her boyfriend, sent them all a round of drinks, I mean, what the hell? [offhand] He gone?

Rory

[angry] Yes. He's gone.

Writers. They're so sensitive.

Rory

You were a jerk, Logan.

I was just challenging him, geez! Hey, if Hemingway could take it, so can he! Hey, if he wanted to, he could have taken a pop at me, pugnacity! It's a vital component of literary life, again, consult your Hemingway. Come on, do not let this guy get to you.

Rory

You're getting to me!

Me?

Rory

Yes, you were an ass!

Rory

Jess wrote a book. He wrote a book and you mocked him!

I did not mock him!

Rory

He's doing something!

Good, fine, he's doing something, everybody in the world is doing something, more power to him.

Rory

I'm not! I mean, what am I doing? I'm living with my grandparents-

That's temporary, have a drink.

Rory

'Temporary' can turn into 'forever'.

You're not living with the Gilmores forever.

Rory

I'm palling with my grandmother, I'm being waited on by a maid, I come home and my shoes are magically shined, my clothes are magically cleaned, ironed and laid out! My bed is magically turned down! I'm in the DAR! I'm going to meetings and teas and cocktail parties?!

Again, temporary, have a drink.

Rory

I'm wasting my time, partying and drinking, just 'hanging out' doing nothing-!

Woah, woah, woah, don't pull me into this!

Rory

I didn't say anything about you.

Yes, you did, don't make me feel guilty for your drinking and partying, that's your choice, I'm not forcing you, when I ask you out, you can say no!

Rory

It's all we do!

It's not 'all we do'!

Rory

It's all YOU do!

[aggressive] It's my prerogative, you know? You're damn straight, I'm gonna party, I'm gonna do it while I have the chance, because come June, my life is over!

Rory

[sarcastically] Oh! Yes! Your horrible life, let's hear about it!

Got a week?

View quote →

Rory

You have every door open to you! You have opportunities that ANYONE would kill for, including me!

No one's stopping you from making whatever you want happen! Go into journalism, go into politics, be a doctor, be a clown, do whatever you want!

Rory

It's not as easy when it's not HANDED to you!

Really? It's all so easy for me? I don't WANT that life! It's FORCED on me! You talk about all these doors being open? All I see is ONE door, and I'm being pushed through it! I have NO choice, you try living without options!

Rory

How hard are you fighting it?!

[infuriated] I didn't tell you to quit Yale! You did that! I gave you one month, you went beyond a month, it had nothing to do with me, it was all you! Now, you wanna change, change it, but don't blame me, don't you dare blame me!
