okay, please. You were right
last night. I shouldn't have
proposed to you like that. It was stupid. It was the wrong place, and the
wrong time, and I kicked myself the entire night for doing it. But you
were wrong about something too. I didn't propose to you because we
were fighting. I proposed because I love you. We're in a bad pattern
Lorelai and we have to break it. And other than that murder suicide thing
you were talking about, which would be illegal and messy, I can only
think to be impetuous.

high road so that the general
had to travel by the lowerroad, through town, to reach
his troops.

TAYLOR: No, they were
much slyer than that. They
had a brave lady of the town
use her wiles to draw the
general to her rooms and keep
him occupied. That delayed the general's arrival which allowed Lafayette the
opportunity to ambush the waiting British troops.
CRAIG: This simple, common woman whose livelihood defied laws of morality
but acting in a fashion which God would forgive her, led the British general to the
warmth of her boudoir. She saved Stars Hollow.

Well, you know, I only saw this guy once for like ten minutes and the lighting was

TAYLOR: You mean the place that burned down on your watch?
LORELAI: We wait. So why didn't you tell me you were getting your hair cut?

As he is speaking, Grandmother Kim becomes upset by something and begins whispering to
Mrs. Kim with hostility.
Mrs. Kim attempts to appease her but she becomes so upset that she walks out. Mrs. Kim follows
her.
Because! There's fifty-eight seats and sixty-two Koreans!
She didn't sound drunk at all.
Um. Now, there were a couple of stains on it. Just probably from age, so I had to make a fewminor adjustments, but I think you'll see, all in all, that the integrity of the dress has remained
intact.

EMILY: That is just wonderful! I'll call Ralphie right away and tell him to bump another
Baptist. We'll have a wonderful time, you and I. It'll be just like "Gigi." Lorelai, I'm
gonna use your phone.
LORELAI: Be my guest, Mom. [Emily exits. Long pause] Europe? Cool. [Rory give
Lorelai a cool look] What?
RORY: So, what is this, a Henry James novel? The young lady acts up, and her family
ships her off to Europe?
LORELAI: Oh, come on.
RORY: How fast did you tell Grandma that I had nothing to do this summer?
LORELAI: I'm not shipping you off.
RORY: Oh, please!
LORELAI: I'm not. I'm just -- okay, maybe I am.

RORY: Ha!
LORELAI: I wasn't planning on it, but maybe in the back of my mind, I just thought -
RORY: - Say Goodbye to Daisy Miller.
LORELAI: Okay, fine, so maybe I suggested the trip to give you some time to --
RORY: Travel back to the turn of the century?
LORELAI: To think -- but you did not have to accept.RORY: I did too.
LORELAI: No, Rory, you didn't. You're 19 now, remember? You're all grown up, and
you can handle your own affairs. Sorry. That's a bad choice of words. You can handle
your own life events, so if you didn't want to go to Europe, all you had to do was say you
didn't want to go, but you didn't, so I assume you do want to go. [sees Rory's expression]
You do want to go? How come? I mean, what about Dean? You're just gonna go off and
leave now?

Sookie: I mean, lunch is my thing. Why do we have to get rid of one of my things?
Why cant we get rid of one of Michels things?
Michel: What things? I stand behind a desk and answer a phone. What of mine can
you possibly get rid of?
DOYLE: So, some day when Im running the circulation desk at the Muncie
Messenger and Glenn his accepting his Pulitzer Prize, I can point up at the screen
at the local bar where I regularly stop on my way home to get drop dead drunk, and
say, I helped him get there.
LORELAI: And opening this inn has been a dream of mine and of Sookie's for
most of that time. Along with Michel, we plan to make this community as proud of
the historic Dragonfly Inn as you were when the same team was running the
Independence Inn.
TAYLOR: You mean the place that burned down on your watch?
LORELAI: We wait. So why didn't you tell me you were getting your hair cut?
KIRK: And since you two have reconciled, it's only appropriate that the
citizens of Stars Hollow take off their pins and start to heal.
LULU: No, Kirk! I like my ribbon! It's pink! I like pink!

KIRK: This is bigger than your love of pink!

In my case, literally. I caught about an inch of chest-flesh with this sharp little sucker.
And if it was physically possible to make love to a hot
beverage, this would be the one.
Whoa! Oh, I've never seen the cereal completely full before. I'm never here early enough!
I knew they had Cocoa Puffs.
Ribbons here! Return your ribbons here!
That was not a snore. That was a groan.
It was not a painful play.
You're wearing sunglasses inside?
That's a very negative way of looking at it.
Oh, okay, thanks. That's enough there. Just make sure you get the stairs now.

The point of this is to get crap out of here, not to trade it in for new crap.
A big furry purple thing that could be either a hat, a toilet paper cover or some kind
of dirty hand puppet.
I think Luke did and judging by his very hostile reaction he obviously wasnt done
wearing it yet.
Ok, just checking. Hey, Im starving, is it pizza time yet?
They were so thrilled with the volcano wedding cake that they wanted to do
something nice for me and since Mr. Birnbaum runs a ticket agency and I knew
you were dying to so, so I asked him if he could...
Im sorry, Im looking but there is nothing in here.

Ok, but I have to explain something first.
Ok, so rummage sales Sunday, today is Tuesday. At this rate, we are going to be
sleeping in the yard by Thursday. We have got to start getting some of this stuff
out of the living room.
The red and black halter top?
Its got rhinestones and zebra stripes on it.

I usually wind up re-making the bed after the maid makes it because she made it wrong in
the first place.
Yeah. Remember Don? He came for a couple days, tops, once. Six weeks later he's still
here. Ate all my Cheese Nips. But when I confronted him with the box, he said they were
just settling. Dude had Cheese Nip breath as he told me they were just settling.
Bring me a donut while I wait?
I'm not going to be back until Tuesday, so you're going to have to deal with Alla
Hadengrow yourself. I will leave you the check.
Oh, yes it is. It is not lost on me that the burgers with my world-famous rub are almost
gone, while your butter burgers are still sitting there on the plate.
I already have the other two samples. This is my last stop. I go to the lab tomorrow and
the fair's on the sixteenth. And, if I win, there's going to be a banquet on the eighteenth,
and you get to choose any two kinds of spaghetti that you want. There's going to be at
least ten options, though I know what I'm getting. Split order. Half mushroom, half
Myzithra cheese.

I am more than willing.
This is painful.

Yeah, Mom, Yale is broadening her world view.
Digger was in his element.
You mean Jason was in his element.
Fine work, Rory. The Yale Daily News is lucky to have you.
The slot machines were talking to you, Mom? Are you sure it wasn't just you?
I'm being discriminated against. Go, enjoy.
I'm being attacked by green things!
Page 19
Dad is going after Jason, and...it's complicated but it's really bad. And I went over there to try to
talk to him about it, and he was horrible.
Or maybe Dad will be fine, and Emily will be on the attack. Yeah, a little good cop/bad cop if
you know what I mean. Keep me on my toes. I won't be expecting that.
Well, reading is good for you. You learn things.
Cheesecake would be good with the meatball explosion.
Tip her well when she waits on you at Luke's. Head over to the church with her, share a pew.
All we needed was a swimming pool and some ball gowns to really end the evening right.
The real one won't have the sandwich on it.
Is it really necessary?
Is what really necessary?
Mom, it's really important to me that you don't back out of Friday night dinners. They're the only
time that the whole family gets together. Sometimes it's the only time that I get to see you, and I
like having it there. It's really important to me.

Anyhow, Mrs. Wright invites this whole posse of people over for dinner and theyre all sitting
around eating, and Mr. Disgruntled Servant Guy goes outside and locks all the doors and
windows and douses the whole house in gasoline and sets the place on fire.
All Im saying is sometimes eating a walnut is preferable to getting hacked to death or set on fire
during dinner.
The date was set, invitations mailed out.
Why are you sitting over there?
Thank you. See, its nice sitting at the grown-up table, isnt it?
Its gonna need some glue if you dont sit down pretty soon.
Its time to lay down a few ground rules, sit. All right, first off, when she is up here, that door
stays open.
Hello, Blaine! Yes, you were about to explain to me the reason you
once again raised our premium here.
Not the dog Paul Anka, the real Paul Anka.
Or you could just run on the bus, that's really good too.
