You have to look at what a gift says to the other person, not to you. Remember two years ago, I got my mom that perfume?
Yeah.
Okay, to me that said, "Hey Mom, you work hard, you deserve something fancy". Now to my mother, it said, "Hey Mom, here's some smelly sex juice, the kind I use to lure boys with", and resulted in me being sent to Bible camp all summer.
I feel like this is one of those moments when I should be remembering all the great times I had with my dad, you know. The time he took me shopping for a Barbie or to the circus or fishing but my mind is a complete blank.
Well I'm sure it happened.
No it didn't. We never did any of that. He went to work, he came home, he read the paper, he went to bed, I snuck out the window. Simple. He was a very by the numbers guy. I was never very good with numbers.
I'm sure he loves you.
You know my dad is not a bad guy.
I'm sure he's not.
He lived his life the way he thought he was supposed to. He followed the rules taught to him by his non-fishing-non-Barbie-buying dad. He worked hard. He bought a nice house. He provided for my mom. All he asked in return was for his daughter to wear white dresses and go to cotillion and want the same life that he had. What a disappointment it must have been for him to get me.
I can't imagine anyone seeing you as a disappointment.
[as Lorelai avoids going into her father's hospital room] So, who are you going to go find now?
Stop.
How about Jimmy Hoffa? That'll keep you busy for a while.
I said stop.
You can't avoid going in that room forever.
I'm not avoiding anything. I'm going to find coffee.
The machine is jammed.
There are other machines.
Admit you're afraid.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
The truth hurts.
No, you know what hurts? Having a screwdriver jammed in the side of your head.
What? [Looks behind him and sees a person on a gurney] Oh, my God!
[about Lorelai and Luke] So what exactly is going on between the two of you?
Nothing. Really. We're friends, that's it.
You're idiots, the both of you.
Rory, there are only two things that I trust in this entire world. The fact that I will never be able to understand what Charo is saying no matter how long she lives in this country, and you.
Hopefully not in that order.
