Michel, it's the first snowfall of the season. It's very lucky! Make a wish.
Get away from me.
Oh, you're not supposed to say it out loud.
[Michel answers the phone.]
[dreamily to herself] The world changes when it snows. It's quiet. Everything softens.
It's your mother.
And then the rain comes.
[to Lorelai, about the town Reenactment] Tradition is a trap that allows people to stick their head in the sand. Everything in the past was so quaint, so charming. Time's were simpler, kids didn't have sex, neighbors knew each other. It's a friggin' fairy tale. Things sucked then too, they just sucked without indoor plumbing.
[Emily has called Lorelai to warn her of the heavy snowfall.]
Have you seen the news?
Ever?
A bad storm is heading your way. It's already hitting us here.
Well, don't panic. I'll get the ark, you get the animals.
I just sent Lance to pick up Rory at school. The roads are terrible — black ice everywhere. It's just a mess out there. I hate this kind of weather. So, anyhow, what time will you get here?
Well, uh, gee, Mom, I don't know. Let me see… black ice, treacherous roads. I'll just put on my red, white, and blue leotard, grab my golden lasso, and fly the invisible plane on over?
You're not coming.
Well, if it's as bad as you say it is, I don't see how I can get there.
Well, I guess it'll just be the three of us then.
I guess so.
And you know, Rory should probably spend the night tonight also.
Uh, okay.
And if it's still bad tomorrow…
Mom? Why don't you wait to see what the weather does before you fill out a change of address card for her?
[The elder Gilmores, entertaining Rory, are left without the services of their cook, who is snowed in.]
This is a serious problem. These Friday dinners are the only proper food that child eats all week.
Rory? Are you in any way malnourished, or in need of some international relief organization to recruit a celebrity to raise money on your account?
I'm good.
She's good, Emily.
Not everyone finds the idea of being pelted with frozen water appealing.
I know, and how sad for them.
The thrilling sensation of getting lost in a blizzard, of freezing to death in the woods and having to eat your friend's buttocks to stay alive. That is lost on many people.
