Rory Gilmore quotes from Gilmore Girls

Rory

You brought me to Beirut?

Dean

It's a salvage yard.

Rory

Ah. And yet it looks so much like Beirut.

Rory

I had no idea that three months was the car anniversary.

Dean

Four months you get a plane.

Rory

Boy, relationships sure have changed since I was a kid. [they lean back and look at the stars] I'm having one of those moments right now.

Dean

What moments?

Rory

One of those moments that everything is so perfect and so wonderful that you almost feel sad because nothing can ever be this good again.

Lorelai

Rory, my heart, today is Saturday, the day of rest!

Rory

Sunday's the day of rest.

Lorelai

No, Saturday's the day of pre-rest, see? Then by the time you get to Sunday, you're rested enough...to enjoy your rest.

Rory

That made absolutely no sense.

Lorelai

That's because it's 6:00 in the morning!

Rory

Some people like getting up early.

Lorelai

You lie.

Emily

[So] you were on the phone…

Richard

Long distance.

Lorelai

God?

Richard

London.

Lorelai

God lives in London?

Richard

My mother lives in London.

Lorelai

Your mother is God?

Richard

Lorelai…

Lorelai

So, God is a woman.

Richard

Lorelai…

Lorelai

And a relative! That's so cool. I am gonna totally ask for favors.

Richard

Make her stop.

Rory

Oh, that I could.

Rory

And I need some of Mom, too.

Lorelai

I thought we already had this conversation.

Rory

Yeah, but I don't believe you.

Lorelai

Mother, tell her.

Emily

I don't have any baby pictures of your mother.

Lorelai

Thank you.

Rory

How could you not have any baby pictures of Mom?

Emily

Because, when your mother was seven, I came downstairs and found her burning all of her baby pictures.

Rory

Why would you do that? I'm sure you were a cute baby.

Emily

She was. She was very cute.

Lorelai

4… 3… 2… 1…

Emily

… in most respects.

Lorelai

And we have liftoff.

Rory

What does that mean?

Lorelai

Nothing.

Emily

I don't see what the problem is. You certainly grew into it.

Rory

Grew into what?

Emily

As a child, your mother had an unusually large head.

Lorelai

The best thing about it was that she would tell me — constantly. My first complete sentence was, "Big Head want dolly".

Lorelai

So what time does the judgmental express arrive?

Rory

Grandma gets here at noon.

Emily

That's amazing. What did you use?

Rory

I don't know. We got it from one of those late night tv-ads. Apparently it also gets rust off nails and hinges, waxes your car perfectly and weather-proofs windows and doors.

Lorelai

Hey, I have a huge dilemma that I need your opinion on!

Rory

[annoyed] What?

Lorelai

Am I more beautiful today than I was yesterday?

Rory

Oh boy.

Lorelai

I'm just not sure. 'Cause at first, I looked in the mirror and I thought, 'Yes, definitely a huge improvement!'

Rory

Can I have my pillow back?

Lorelai

And then I thought, 'Maybe it's not that I'm more beautiful today, maybe I was just as beautiful yesterday, only I lacked the self-esteem to recognize it!'

Rory

Where's my tie?

Lorelai

In your drawer?

Rory

I'm looking in the drawer.

Lorelai

Mm, check the living room.

Rory

Why would my tie be in the living room?

Lorelai

Because it's been seeing the doily on the coffee table. I'm sorry, I did not want you to find out this way!

Lorelai

[finding Rory at her parents' house] So, last time I saw you, you said 'I'll see you at home.' You want to fill in the blanks?

Rory

I don't know. I just had to get out, go anywhere.

Lorelai

So you picked Hell?

Lorelai

The freaking Blue Man Group is outside our house!

Rory

I was sleeping through it!

Lorelai

It had to have woken you up.

Rory

No my insane mother, Margot Kidder Gilmore, woke me up.

Rory

You should walk down the aisle to Frank Sinatra, with a huge bouquet of something that smells really good.

Lorelai

Pot roast!

Rory

How am I supposed to get into Harvard if I have no wilderness skills?

Lorelai

I don't know honey. Maybe you'll have to give up your dream of majoring in Logging.

What's that?

Rory

It's my hammer.

That's a hammer?

Rory

Yeah. It's my mom - she takes things she thinks aren't pretty and makes them pretty.

Rory

She's not insane, she just sounds it.
