S1 E10Forgiveness and Stuff

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.

S1 E11Paris Is Burning

Dumb girls crave smart men. It's the whole Marilyn Monroe-Arthur Miller syndrome.

Buttercup is a special dog. She's extremely skittish and tends to react badly towards blonde haired females, brunette males, children of either sex, other animals, red clothing, cabbage or anyone in a uniform.

[Luke walks up to them.]

[to Luke] Hey, we just found the doggy version of you.

Who's Skippy?

Skippy was our hamster.

He doesn't care

[asking curiously] What happened to Skippy?

[Defensively] Nothing happened to Skippy.

Every time Mom put her hand in his cage, he'd bite her.

And laugh.

Hamsters don't laugh.

Oh, this one laughed, trust me.

So finally she got fed up.

Of being laughed at by a hamster?

Well yeah!

And she stopped cleaning it's cage. Instead, every day she'd stuff some Kleenex in there.

You didn't.

It was the quilted kind.

So this keeps going on and the cage is just a cage full of Kleenex that moves a little, and the smell - really good.

I can imagine.

No, no, you can't!

So she takes the cage to the place where we bought him, waits for the sales guy to go behind the desk, and dumps it on the counter, then bolts.

You abandoned your hamster?

Look, I know it was bad, but this was a vicious hamster. This was like a "Damien" hamster with little beady eyes and a big forked tail and a cape with a hood and... bye bye Buttercup. Bye, Luke.

You did the right thing.

Uh, I want a pet.

S1 E12Double Date

After three cheeseburgers, you're done unless you're expecting Elijah to stop by.

I have like six thousand pages of case studies to memorize and this whole big test on the Wal-mart phenomena coming up on Friday and because I have a life, and a job and business school's not the only thing I have to concentrate on, I'm behind and I'll probably fail, and then that little eighteen year old annoying gnat who sits behind me will get another A and make that 'I'm smart, you're dumb' face to me for the rest of the week and I'll be very upset and will possibly cry.

The music's too loud?

Yes.

Got it.

[to Lorelai] Well, not everyone is cut out to be their own boss. Maybe you are more of a worker bee, a follower, a ticket ripper, or the man at the concert with the orange glow stick directing you where to park.

S1 E13Concert Interruptus

Hey, you didn't wake me up!

I set the clock.

The clock stops ringing when you throw it against the wall, giving me ample time to fall back asleep. You, however never shut-up no matter how hard I throw you against the wall, thus ensuring the wake-up process.
