Paris: What if I fall for him but he doesn't like me? Rory: You'll find someone else. Paris: What if there is no one else? Rory: Then you'll buy some cats.
Paris: I can’t do this. Rory: What? Paris: Date. I can’t date. I’m not genetically set up for it. Rory: Not true. Paris: I get no pleasure out of the prospect or the preparation. I’m covered in hives, I’ve showered four times, and for what? Some guy who doesn’t even have the brains to buy a Zagat so we don’t wind up in a restaurant that’s really just a front for a cocaine laundering ring?
Lorelai: Okay. Kirk asked me out. Rory: Shut up! Lorelai: Yesterday he came to the inn and asked me to dinner. Rory: That’s so sweet. Lorelai: Sweet? Rory: You should wear your dress with the ponies on it. I bet he likes ponies. Lorelai: Rory, I cannot go out with Kirk. Rory: Why? Lorelai: Uh huh. . .why? He's. . .he's Kirk! Rory: Well, as long as he loves you. Lorelai: You are not serious. Rory: I just want you to be happy. Lorelai: Hello Headmaster Charleston, this is my stepfather Kirk. Please don't make any sudden movements, he's a fear biter.
Emily: A man is dead, a young woman ruined. Lorelai: Consider the subject dropped. Emily: At least she had a husband to kill.
Lorelai: So, I think I'm in touch with the other side. Rory: The other side of… Lorelai: The other side. Rory: With Republicans?
Emily: You should really identify yourself when you answer the phone at work. Lorelai: Sorry, Independence Inn, major disappointment speaking. Better?
Andrew: I'd rather have bird crap fall on my head. Lorelai: There it is — our new town slogan.
Lorelai: Because one day, I decided that instead of being hurt and upset by your disapproval, I'm gonna be amused. I'm gonna find it funny. I'm even going to take a little bit of pleasure in it. Emily: You take pleasure in my disapproval? Lorelai: I encourage it sometimes just for a laugh.
Lorelai: I look adorable! No one ever told me that if you fish, you get to buy an outfit. I'll do just about anything if I can buy an outfit!
Lorelai: [about a package] It’s from my mother. Rory: What is it? Lorelai: It’s heavy. Must be her hopes and dreams for me. Rory: I thought she discarded those years ago.
Paris: You know, it’s funny, me standing here before you right now. I’ve thought about nothing else for four years but this school, this big important school with all of its history and tradition and really super teachers. And I dedicated myself to it completely, heart and soul, believing in its power, believing in its ability to get me where I needed to go. Harvard. I thought of nothing else. Many of you out there can attest to that fact. I was on my way and nothing could stop me. And here’s the really funny thing – after four years of slaving away, I go home today and I found this. [holds up an envelope] I’m not going to Harvard. I got the tiny envelope, the one that reads, "Sorry, Paris. We’re not interested. Try again next year. Love, Harvard." And the thing that’s really funny here is, who in the world deserves to go to Harvard more than me? Have you seen how hard I’ve worked over these past four years? I mean, can anyone here believe that I’m not going to Harvard? I can’t. I’m not going to Harvard. I am not going to Harvard. I had sex, but I’m not going to Harvard.
Rory: It's a Friday night. We should be out, I don't know, partying with the homies. Lorelai: Our Stars Hollow homies are all in bed by now.
Rory: Headmaster Charleston, faculty members, fellow students, family and friends, welcome. We never thought this day would come. We prayed for its quick delivery, crossed days off our calendars, counted hours, minutes and seconds and now that it's here, I'm sorry it is, because it means leaving friends who inspire me and teachers who've been my mentors, so many people who've shaped my life, and my fellow students lives impermeably and forever. I live in two worlds. One is a world of books. I've been a resident of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, hunted the white whale aboard the Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, committed absurdities with Ignatius J. Reilly, rode a sad train with Anna Karenina and strolled down Swann's Way. It's a rewarding world, but my second one is by far superior. My second one is populated with characters slightly less eccentric, but supremely real, made of flesh and bone, full of love, who are my ultimate inspiration for everything. Richard and Emily Gilmore are kind, decent, unfailingly generous people. They are my twin pillars, without whom I could not stand. I am proud to be their grandchild. But my ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the dazzling woman from whom I received my name and my life's blood, Lorelai Gilmore...My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her.
