Trivia and QuotesQuotes Lane: Oh my God, you guys walk fast. I`ve been chasing you for the past two blocks.
Rory: Hey, we were being followed.
Lorelai: I told you I wasn`t just being paranoid. Maybe next time you`ll take me seriously when I tell you furniture moved itself. Luke: Crazy people. Whole town should be medicated and put in a rec room with ping pong tables and hand puppets. Lorelai: Do you know how to make coffee?
Christopher: Yes, I do.
Lorelai: My coffee?
Christopher: One bag of coffee per cup of water, right?
Lorelai: Perfect. [while studying for exams]
Rory: Okay. You should get back to your studying.
Lorelai: Fine. Oh, great.
Rory: What?
Lorelai: I think I`ve already forgotten everything I read in the last two hours.
Rory: No, you haven`t.
Lorelai: Yes, I have. In fact, I may have forgotten everything that I`ve ever known. Child, what be your name?
Rory: Study. [on swans]
Michel: I will never go near those filthy birds.
Lorelai: Why?
Michel: I hate the swans.
Lorelai: These particular swans?
Michel: No, all swans. I was attacked by a band of swans in the Luxembourg Gardens when I was a boy. No one forgets that.
Lorelai: [laughing] Oh no - not being attacked by a band of swans. Was it an all-boy band? Kind of a scary, feathery *NSYNC kind of fiasco?
Michel: This is not funny. [while playing a carnival game]
Clara: Jess can`t throw.
Jess: I can, too.
Clara: You missed every time.
Jess: I can`t concentrate with your annoying midget voice yammering on and on. It`s like having Stuart Little shoved in my ear. Emily: You`re having a baby - do you know that, Lorelai?
Lorelai: Well, that explains the stomachache. Rory: But we want to be spontaneous. Jump a train to Paris, head off to Spain.
Lorelai: Oh no, it`s raining in Spain. But since the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain...
Rory: Looks like Italy for us.
Lorelai: Mamma mia. [looking at baby Rory]
Christopher: She`s pretty.
Lorelai: She`s perfect. Dean: I gotta place an order.
Jess: Talk into the clown.
Dean: I am. Rory: [reading titles of travel books] "Selected Hotels of Europe," "Hotels, Restaurants and Inns of Great Britain and Ireland, 1986", "Myra Waldo`s Travel and Motoring Guide to Europe, `78."
Lorelai: Wow, these will be an enormous help in planning our trip. Hey, you wanna go see the Berlin Wall?
Rory: Sounds great. Young Christopher: Let`s celebrate.
Young Lorelai: Celebrate what?
Young Christopher: No more midterms.
Young Lorelai: Hear, hear.
Young Christopher: Okay, I say that we drink to it.
Young Lorelai: Hear, hear.
Young Christopher: Scotch, vodka, or gin?
Young Lorelai: Hear, hear.
Young Christopher: Okay.
Young Lorelai: And put a cherry in it. [after Michel has begged Lorelai to take him to an auction run by her mother]
Lorelai: Michel, if you wanna go to this auction, you have to be in the lobby at six o`clock Friday morning. You have to hand out towels and water bottles, you have to show them the hiking trails, and you have to let them give you a nature name.
Michel: Fine, I will let them give me a nature name.
Lorelai: All right, then, you can come.
Michel: Thank you.
Lorelai: Buttercup.
Michel: You cannot give them suggestions. Paris: Pack up the chastity belt, Gilmore. You`re going to Harvard. Luke: You tuck a bed in on both sides?
Lorelai: Yeah, and then I slip in, like it`s a straightjacket.
Luke: Oh, you must feel at home there. Zach: Hey, you guys are not gonna believe this.
Liza: You`re Mr. Announcement Guy today.
Zach: What, are you going to pipe in every time I talk?
Liza: Can it.
Zach: Stuff it.
Lorelai: They`re in love.
Sooke: Clearly. Rory: How come we don`t have a tiki bar?
Lorelai: Because we`re not two wild and crazy guys.
Rory: You like pina colodas.
Lorelai: And getting caught in the rain. Rory: Why me?
Paris: Because people like you. You`re quiet. You say "excuse me". You look like little birds help you get dressed in the morning. ["Gilmore Girls: Beginnings" opening narration]
Lorelai: There are many paths in life. There`s the "Hey, you`re cute, sure, I`ll marry you after graduation and med school" and the "Can you drive Susie to soccer today, `cause I`ve got a pediure?" path. And then there`s my path, where I found myself 16 and pregnant and I realized "I have to get a job, I have to raise a kid and being me, I have to do it all by myself." Not easy. But the thing with my path was, when I reached the end, I turned around and realized I`d ended up someplace really good. [Lorelai`s parents walk into the Inn]
Lorelai: [moaning] They`re here.
Rory: Who?
Lorelai: The Joyless Luck Club. [Jimmy`s girlfriend`s daughter, Lily, likes to read under tables and in closets]
Jess: She do that a lot?
Jimmy: All the time.
Jess: You ever find it a little weird?
Jimmy: All the time. [Lorelai swallows several pills]
Emily: What are you taking?
Lorelai: Rufies?
Rory: Aspirin. Paris: I pierced my nose. And within an hour of having it done, my nose swelled up to four times its normal size, blocking all nasal passage, making it impossible to breathe. I went to the emergency room, where they pried the thing out of my nose and shot me up with antibiotics. I spent the night with an ice pack strapped to my face.
Rory: Oh, Paris.
Paris: It seems that I was allergic to the crap metal hoop that I paid $19.95 to have jammed into my nose.
Louise: Did you take a picture?
Paris: No, Louise, I did not take a picture. I was a little busy trying to get air to my brain cells, a burden you`ve not yet faced. Rory: Solidarity sister.
Lorelai: Ya Ya.
Rory: You`ve been waiting all summer to say that haven`t you?
Lorelai: Ya Ya. [to Luke]
Lorelai: Date her, marry her, make her Mrs. Backwards baseball cap. See if I care. Rory: I need you, I need you here, I need you now. I cannot do this alone. I need my Mommy, and dammit, I don`t care who knows it. [Lorelai and Rory arrive late to the town meeting]
Taylor: Late again, are we?
Lorelai: Ooh, yes, I hope I`m not pregnant.
Taylor: What?
Lorelai: Are these seats taken? [Luke`s deceased Uncle Louie is being buried with his prized possessions]
Luke: Taylor and the guys were right. I was cutting Louie slack out of respect for my dad, but the man was rotten and mean and selfish all his life. For God`s sake, he`s even selfish in death. Other people would`ve loved to have had those baseball cards. I would`ve loved to have those baseball cards. He`s got Lou Gehrig`s rookie card, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, tons of others - but no. My uncle, King Tut, has to take all of them to the afterlife with him. Luke: What was wrong with that place?
Jess: It was pink.
Luke: We can paint it.
Jess: You mean I can paint it.
Luke: *We* can paint it *together*
Jess: Great, and afterwards we can hold hands and skip around. [Kirk is sitting at a table with a cup of coffee. Luke is trying to give him his check]
Luke: You`ve been sitting there for two hours.
Kirk: I just want a little more coffee.
Luke: You`ve had eight refills.
Kirk: You know, in France, when you sit and order, you can have the table as long as you want.
Luke: I bet you know what I`m gonna say next.
Kirk: That we`re not in France?
Luke: Give or take a profanity.
Kirk: Fine, I`ll go. Can I have my check?
[Luke picks up the check already on the table and slams it down] Paris: I didn`t get into Harvard. I had SEX, but I didn`t get into Harvard. If you had asked me last year which I thought was more likely, it WOULD NOT have been not getting into Harvard. Luke: I`m closing down the diner for a couple of weeks and taking Nicole on a little trip.
Rory: Fun.
Luke: We`re driving through Western Canada and then taking a cruise up to Alaska.
Rory: A cruise?
Lorelai: Intimate.
Luke: I guess. Is it?
Lorelai: [singing] The Love Boat.
Luke: What?
Lorelai: A cruise is a good spot to get down on one knee.
Luke: And do my ventriloquist act? Lorelai: [walking into Luke`s diner] Give me a burger, onion rings, cheese fries, and a list of people who killed their parents and got away with it. I`m lookin` for some heroes. Jason: I didn`t know you were so close to your mother.
Lorelai: I`m not.
Jason: Then why are you defending her?
Lorelai: Every family needs its Fredo.
Jason: Yeah, and Fredo`s family put two bullets into the back of his head. Jason: You`re still mad about that.
Lorelai: I was fully dressed.
Jason: I remember. Green T-shirt, no bra.
Lorelai: What?
Jason: Trust me. I was the hero of Cabin 5 for the rest of the summer. Kirk: If you`ll just follow me, I would like to present you with my new line of one-of-a-kind mailboxes.
Lorelai: Wow. They look very nice, Kirk.
Kirk: And whimsical. They say to the world, "I`ll take my mail with a smile."
Lorelai: Yes, they do say that.
Kirk: And since you are one of our preferred customers, with the purchase of one of our mailboxes, I`ll throw in a carved-duck doorstop and a garlic peeler.
Lorelai: Wow. That`s quite an offer, Kirk. But I think it`s a little early to pick a mailbox. We haven`t even settled on a color for the inn yet.
Kirk: Well, whimsy goes with everything.
Lorelai: Kirk, I promise, just as soon as... is that Condoleezza Rice?
Kirk: Yes, it is. I`m a fan and her big mouth is perfect for shoving mail in. Jason: And trust me: nothing bonds two businessmen together more than one of them finding the other hungover with a hooker in their bed the next morning. Emily: You have the word "Juicy" on your rear end.
Lorelai: Well, if I knew you were coming over, I would`ve changed.
Emily: Into what? A brassiere with the word "Tasty" on it? Lorelai: Jason, my mother is a corporate wife. Her job is putting these parties on. And you put her out of work. You know that; your mother does the same thing. Imagine if you took these functions away from her. What would she have left?
Jason: More time with the pool boy? Luke: I don`t even like kids. They always have jam on their hands. Even when there isn`t any jam in the house, they get jam on their hands. I can`t deal with jam hands. Emily: You know, some men retire.
Richard: Yes, and some men tattoo their mother`s names on their biceps.
Emily: I don`t think the two are necessarily linked. Lorelai: My mother - she was here. I can feel it.
Rory: Grandma hasn`t been here.
Lorelai: Smell that?
Rory: Smell what?
Lorelai: The room - it smells like guilt and Chanel No. 5 Rory: Janet`s out jogging so I don`t know what she thinks, but I have to hope she`s pleased `cause that girl`s in shape and can kick my butt.
Lorelai: Well, just make sure there`s something she likes on the TV when she gets home. Something soothing to runners - maybe something that goes in a circle over and over. Sookie: A child is not a duvet cover. You can`t just take it back if it doesn`t like you.
Lorelai: Luckily, duvet covers notoriously like whoever they go home with. They`re like golden retrievers.
Sookie: You know what happens when kids don`t like you? They tie you to a chair. They brain you with a bat. They set fire to the house and blame it on the neighbors.
Lorelai: Wow, now you can`t have kids or live next door to them. Lorelai: This is a misogynistic truck.
Luke: What?
Lorelai: It`s anti-woman, it`s gender-selective, it`s "Oh, let`s drink a beer and watch the game and hike our shorts up." Luke: Okay, if I give you my lawyer`s name, will you leave?
Russell: I will leave.
Luke: Okay, you ready?
Russell: Yes.
Luke: His name is Don Dewey. He works at the firm of Dewey...
Russell: Dewey.
Luke: Cheatham...
Russell: Cheatham.
Luke: And Howe.
Russell: Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe. That was very immature. Lorelai: Well, I can`t take it back to Yale.
Luke: I`m not storing your microbe mattress, forget it.
Lorelai: Well, then I`m stuck here.
Luke: Fine, because I need my truck back.
Lorelai: Fine, but that leaves you with the mattress.
Luke: I`m not taking the mattress.
Lorelai: Then let me take the truck.
Luke: But that means you take the mattress.
Lorelai: I can`t take the mattress.
Luke: Then you can`t have the truck.
Lorelai: But that sticks you with the mattress.
Luke: If you take the truck, it comes with the mattress.
Lorelai: I can`t take the mattress.
Luke: Then you can`t have the truck.
Lorelai: And that sticks you with the mattress.
Luke: We`ve been here before.
Lorelai: I recognize that tree. Lorelai: All right, I should go. I called Luke last night and he made me promise to get the truck back by two hours ago, so if I leave now it`s sooner than I planned. Rory: If we were caught smuggling hash over the border and we were thrown in some Turkish prison, wouldn`t you want someone to know that we were in Turkey?
Lorelai: Where`d we get this hash we were smuggling?
Rory: You were at a café, you met a guy, he was sweet-talking you, he put the stuff in your purse when you weren`t looking.
Lorelai: At least tell me he was cute.
Rory: He was not bad for a hash dealer. Lorelai: She`s making cocoa `cause you gave her an itinerary.
Rory: I may have given her the itinerary, but you`re the one who got us busted for drug smuggling.
Lorelai: Reality has absolutely no place in our world. Rory: [on why she doesn`t want to date Trevor] He carries a bottle of water around with him all the time. That`s weird.
Lorelai: Right. Hydration. *Very* creepy. Emily: I *just* found out that Sookie is pregnant.
Lorelai: Uh huh...
[Emily stares in disbelief]
Lorelai: Don`t look at me, I had nothing to do with it. Lorelai: Well I`m a leftover girl. I`ll just have the burgers tonight and the Chinese food during the week.
Luke: Then you should`ve just ordered the Chinese fresh tomorrow instead of tonight.
Lorelai: I don`t like fresh Chinese food. I like *stale* Chinese food! [Rory tells Lane about her first kiss]
Rory: Oh my God, He kissed me.
[Mrs. Kim comes up to the girls]
Mrs. Kim: Who kissed you?
Lane: The Lord, Mama.
Mrs. Kim: Oh, OK then
[Mrs. Kim leaves] Kirk: What time is it?
Luke: I`m not going to tell you.
Kirk: Why not?
Luke: Because I just told you 30 seconds ago.
Kirk: *45* seconds, if you count all the bickering. [Luke is shoveling Lorelai`s walk after they had a fight]
Lorelai: Ooh, this is great. Can we fight again, `cause I need my roof gutters cleaned. Paris: Gandalf the Grey is still falling down that hole; it`s a big hole! Rory: That had all the tact of a Nazi Storm Trooper. Lorelai: Someday, when you`re a little older, you`ll be introduced to something that is extremely seductive but fickle. A fair weather friend who seems benigned but packs a whallop like a donkey kick, and that is the Long Island Ice Tea. The Long Island Ice Tea makes you do things you normally wouldn`t do, like lifting your skirt in public or calling someone you normally wouldn`t call at really weird times. Paris: Ladies, thank you for seeing me. I know you`re busy with work and have families to get home to, so I really appreciate your courtesy, and I`ll make it brief. Having Grad Night on a yacht is the worst idea since Neville Chamberlain told the people of England, "Hey, don`t worry about Hitler. He`s a stand-up chap." Forget the inconvenience of being at sea with guests unable to leave if the party is dull or if the band, which will inevitably be composed of accountants with semi-mullets, decides to do a half-hour tribute to Kenny G. The seasickness factor alone, abetted by snuck-in flasks and badly cooked food, could lead to an epidemic, which may lead to lawsuits the school could ill afford. These points conclusively call for a change in venue to a hotel ballroom, a restaurant facility, several of which I`ve already called. Here are the results of my research. I`ve also included a list of maritime disasters from the past fifty years - capsizings, onboard fires, et cetera - and trust me, it`ll put you off your lunch. Thank you for your time and cooperation.
[leaves] [Kirk`s planning the annual Stars Hollow Firelight Festival]
Kirk: After we light the bonfire, the dancers should come through.
Miss Patty: Okay, Kirk.
Kirk: They`ll circle the gazebo. Jazz hands, jazz hands, jazz hands. Then out come the flaming batons.
Miss Patty: That sounds good, Kirk.
Kirk: Are you ignoring me?
Miss Patty: Since you were old enough to walk, Kirk. Lorelai: I`m going to make out in the coatroom. Don`t eat my chicken.
Rory: That`s going on your tombstone. [after Floyd tells the Gilmores that Jason is dating Lorelai]
Jason: I have a bottle of vodka back at my place. A big bottle of vodka. The world`s biggest bottle.
Lorelai: What`ll you drink?
Jason: Gin. [Lorelai is buying collector`s stamps while Luke is signing for his divorce]
Lorelai: Do you have any Lucille Balls left?
Kirk: Yes, I have some Balls.
[Luke stares at him] [Lorelai is avoiding her parents after they found out she`s dating Jason]
Rory: Did you talk to your parents yet?
Lorelai: No.
Rory: Have you *tried* talking to your parents yet?
Lorelai: No.
Rory: That`s my little Kofi Annan! Luke: Junkie.
Lorelai: Angel. You`ve got wings, baby. Lorelai: Oh, hi. You really like my table don`t you?
Joey: I was just, uh...
Lorelai: Getting to know my daughter.
Joey: Your...
Rory: Are you my new daddy?
Joey: Wow. You do not look old enough to have a daughter. No, I mean it. And you do not look like a daughter.
Lorelai: That`s possibly very sweet of you, Joey. Thanks.
Joey: So... daughter. You know, I am traveling with a friend.
Lorelai: She`s sixteen.
Joey: Bye. Rory: When are you going to let your parents know that you listen to the evil rock music? You`re an American teenager, for God`s sake.
Lane: Rory, if my parents still get upset over the obscene portion size of American food, I seriously doubt I`m gonna make any inroads with Eminem. Rory: You know, it sucks that after all these years your mom still hates me.
Lane: She doesn`t hate you.
Rory: She hates my mother.
Lane: She doesn`t trust unmarried women.
Rory: You`re unmarried.
Lane: I`m hayriding with a future proctologist. I have potential. Emily: Champagne, anyone?
Lorelai: Oh, that`s fancy.
Emily: Well it`s not every day I have my girls here for dinner on a day the banks are open. Mrs. Kim: Boys don`t like funny girls.
Rory: Noted. Lorelai: This is it. She can finally go to Harvard like she`s always wanted and get the education that I never got and get to do all the things that I never got to do and then I can resent her for it and we can finally have a normal mother-daughter relationship. Michel: People are particularly stupid today. I can`t talk to any more of them. Rory: And we get to wear uniforms. No more having people check you out to see what jeans you`re wearing `cause everyone`s dressed alike in boring clothes and just there to learn.
Lane: Okay, there`s academic-minded and then there`s Amish. Rory: So do you like cake?
Dean: What?
Rory: They make really good cakes here. They`re very... round.
Dean: Okay, I`ll remember that.
Rory: Good. Make a note. You wouldn`t want to forget where the round cakes are. Lorelai: The freaking Blue Man Group is outside our house!
Rory: I was sleeping through it!
Lorelai: It had to have woken you up.
Rory: No, my insane mother Margot Kidder Gilmore woke me up. Lorelai: Luke, we sleep around here. Okay, we like it. It makes us pretty and keeps us from killing our crazy friends. Rory: Obviously he`s met one of those Thursday afternoon girls.
Lane: What`s a Thursday afternoon girl?
Rory: They`re those slutty girls that get guys to switch their Thursday afternoons with another checkout guy so they can go do slutty Thursday afternoon things. Rory: Taylor thinks I`m casing the place. Like I would ever shoplift there.
Lane: You have shoplifted there. Tristan: You should decorate this thing.
Rory: I did.
Tristan: Well, I mean with something other than a bunch of dead black and white women.
Rory: What, like curtains? Madline: Judy Garland is trendy?
Paris: Completely.
Louise: She was neo-addict retro chic.
Madline: No one tells me these things. Taylor: All right, the nays have it. Let the record reflect it. Lorelai, I hope that`s not food in those bags. Food is not allowed at town meetings.
Lorelai: No, Taylor. It`s not. It`s, um, diapers for the little ones.
Taylor: What?
Lorelai: Dorsal fins and Cucamonga.
Taylor: What did she say?
Lorelai: [whispers to Max] I confuse him till he loses his train of thought and then he moves on. Hot dog? Taylor: I don`t get this, people. This man is practically a vagrant. I mean, where do you even live? What do you do for a living?
Grant, the 1st Troubadour: I don`t want people to know those things!
Taylor: Why not?
Grant, the 1st Troubadour: Because that`s part of being a troubadour.
Taylor: What is part of being a troubadour?
Grant, the 1st Troubadour: The mystique!
Taylor: Oh, this is absolutely ridiculous. Do you subscribe to this troubadour mystique?
The 2nd Troubadour: I run a Kinko`s in Groton.
Grant, the 1st Troubadour: You see, that proves it. He doesn`t respect the code. You`re not supposed to talk. You`re not supposed to run a Kinko`s. You`re supposed to speak through your music. That`s the whole point. Louise: Nothing`s wrong with her Mary.
Rory: Mary? Oh no, not this Virgin Mary thing again.
Louise: Not virgin. Typhoid. Michel: Am I or am I not the head man in charge of floral deliveries?
Lorelai: Yes, and one of the few men I know who would proudly declare that fact. [Paris is getting concerned about the age difference between her and a professor she`s dating]
Paris: I`m 19. I should be rollicking. Asher doesn`t rollick.
Rory: Well, he probably didn`t rollick when he was younger either. He`s British. Kirk: I have night terrors.
Luke: Night terrors?
Kirk: Basically, I freak out at beddy-bye. About an hour after I fall asleep, I wake up in panic. Everything around me seems threatening, scary, out to get me. Two nights ago, I was suddenly gripped with the overwhelming feeling that there was an assassin in my house.
Luke: Jeez.
Kirk: I had to get out of the room before he got me, so I jumped out of bed and locked my pillow in the bathroom.
Luke: Why?
Kirk: Because it was a bomb.
Luke: Of course.
Kirk: After neutralizing my pillow, I ran up the stairs, climbed out the bathroom window, scaled the trellis up the side of the house, and hid on the roof...
Luke: Huh.
Kirk: Completely naked.
Luke: Aw, jeez!
Kirk: The worst part of night terrors is it always ends up with me on top of the roof completely naked or running down the street completely naked or swimming in the community-center pool completely naked. That was the time I thought I was on fire. [Luke thinks Lorelai is still dating Jason even though he, Luke, has `made his intentions clear`]
Luke: I thought we were on track, and now you`re standing there looking at me like I`m crazy.
Lorelai: I`m not looking at you like you`re crazy!
Luke: You know the last time I bought flowers for someone? Never! That`s when! Very easy stat to remember!
Lorelai: I loved the flowers!
Luke: And then when I walked you home after the wedding, there was a moment. I thought there was a moment.
Lorelai: There was! There was a moment.
[Luke looks at her and then moves closer]
Lorelai: What are you doing?
Luke: Will you just stand still?
[he gathers her in his arms and they kiss. Lorelai moves away, and then steps closer to Luke]
Luke: What are you doing?
Lorelai: Will you just stand still?
[they kiss again] Dean: I hear Taylor`s a big hip-hop fan.
Rory: Oh, he hops with the hippest of them. Luke: Hey, Kirk, what`s with the...?
Kirk: It`s not a purse!
Luke: I wasn`t going to say "purse". What`s with the gay bag? Lorelai: [upon entering the church] Would it kill God to dust? [Rory is supposed to be swiping ID cards for the cafeteria, but she is reading and not paying attention]
Glenn: Hey, Rory, if you`re gonna completely ignore me, I might as well go hang out with my ex-girlfriend. Same thing.
Rory: Oh, sorry, Glenn.
[swipes his card]
Glenn: Everyone is going to be sorry one day - everyone.
Rory: You really gotta stop watching "Taxi Driver," Glenn. Rory: Dean... wait!
Dean: Why?
Rory: Because... because I love you, you idiot! [on Paris`s relationship with Asher Fleming]
Paris: I`m not denying that we`ve got a May-December romance going on here.
Rory: This is not May-December, this is May - Ming Dynasty.
Paris: An age difference like this is very common. People dating people the same age are passe now.
Rory: My grandfather introduced you to him. Do you see how awkward this is for me?
Paris: Well, hot men tend to run in packs.
Rory: Do not ever say anything like that again. Rory: [playing a video game] Where`d I go?
Lane: I don`t know!
Rory: What`d I do?
Lane: I don`t know!
Rory: [the video game makes an explosion noise] Did I lose?
Lane: Well, you have no head, so I would say yes [weeping over the death of Fran Weston]
Miss Patty: It`s times like these that you realize what is *truly* important in your life. I`m so glad I had all that sex. Taylor: "The Last Supper" cannot be funky. Lorelai: So, where are you now?
Luke: I`m about 10 minutes from If-I-lived-here-I`d-blow-my-brains-out.
Lorelai: Ah yes, I hear it`s lovely there. Lorelai: I need you to look at Kirk`s butt.
Sookie: Why?
Lorelai: Well, because he ran into some rose bushes and he`s got some thorns stuck in it and I thought of you.
Sookie: Me? Why me?
Lorelai: Well, because... you`re a chef. Zach: Hey, Lorelai, get yourself a wink-winker?
Lorelai: What?
Lane: Please erase this from your brain.
Lorelai: I will definitely try. Sookie: Call me Belinda, `cause my lips are sealed! Lorelai: Hey, I should bring steak sauce, right?
Rory: For what?
Lorelai: Pizza.
Rory: I just got back from Italy.
Lorelai: So?
Rory: So they`d shoot you in Italy for that.
Lorelai: Ah, but this is America, where we unapologetically bastardize other countries` cultures in a gross quest for moral and military supremacy.
Rory: I forgot. Bring on the imperialistic condiments. Luke: I didn`t kick you out, you got yourself kicked out.
Jess: Nice spin, you should work for Bush! Taylor: What if there`s a break-up?
Luke: There will be no break-up!
Gypsy: Mr. Optimist! [Luke is trying to subtly flirt with Lorelai at his diner]
Luke: Those jeans are really working for you.
Lorelai: Yeah?
Luke: They`re working for me, too.
Lorelai: You`re flirting with me.
Luke: Something like that.
Lorelai: Finally. Do it some more.
Luke: Your shoes work well with that... shirt.
Lorelai: Gee, Carson, thanks. [Having moved into the pool house, Richard now has his own valet/butler, Robert]
Rory: Do you think he`s happy?
Lorelai: I do. I think he`s very happy out here with his books and his special friend, Robert.
Rory: Don`t be gross.
Lorelai: What? I`m just saying two grown men out here alone with Hungarian cheese and swim trunks...
Rory: Oh, jeez.
Lorelai: Don`t be so puritanical. After all, Heather has two mommies. Luke: [bringing their plates to the table] Hot plates.
Lorelai: [to Rory] See? He called me `Hot Plates.` He so likes me.
Luke: [embarrassed] Geez... Rory: How was your summer?
Marty: I met Nicole Richie, and then spent the next six weeks showering. [Luke and Lorelai`s first real date; they have just read a long story on the back of a menu, hence the menu line]
Lorelai: Hey, do you remember the first time we met?
Luke: What?
Lorelai: I`m just trying to remember the first time we met. It must have been at Luke`s, right?
Luke: [nods] It was at Luke`s, it was at lunch, it was a very busy day, the place was packed, and this person...
Lorelai: Ooh, is it me? Is it me?
Luke: This person comes tearing into the place in a caffeine frenzy.
Lorelai: [happily] Ooh, it`s me.
Luke: I was with a customer. She interrupts me, wild-eyed, begging for coffee, so I tell her to wait her turn. Then she starts following me around, talking a mile a minute, saying God knows what. So finally I turn to her, and I tell her she`s being annoying - sit down, shut up, I`ll get to her when I get to her.
Lorelai: Y`know, I bet she took that very well, `cause she sounds just delightful.
Luke: She asked me what my birthday was. I wouldn`t tell her. She wouldn`t stop talking. I gave in. I told her my birthday. Then she opened up the newspaper to the horoscope page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me.
Lorelai: God, seriously. You wrote the menu, didn`t you?
Luke: So I`m looking at this piece of paper in my hand, and under Scorpio, she had written `You will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she`ll go away.` I gave her coffee.
Lorelai: [grins] But she didn`t go away.
Luke: She told me to hold on to that horoscope, put it in my wallet, and carry it around with me -
[takes a piece of paper from his wallet and gives it to her]
Luke: one day it would bring me luck.
Lorelai: [teasing] Well, man, I will say anything for a cup of coffee
[reads it, grows serious]
Lorelai: Um... I can`t believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet?
[sees his face]
Lorelai: You kept this in your wallet.
Luke: Eight years.
Lorelai: [emotionally] Eight years. Rory: [At a town council meeting] That woman`s staring at me.
Lorelai: Oh, Mrs. Van-uppity? Well, maybe you`re just her type.
Lorelai: [after the woman staring at Rory is introduced to give a speech] Hey, it`s your future wife.
Rory: Shut up.
Lorelai: [Finally, as the meeting breaks up] Wait.
Rory: Why?
Lorelai: I wanna see if she asks you out. Rory: [She is being stared at in the diner] I feel like a used car. [Max and Lorelai are talking on the phone, Max is in the Teacher`s Lounge at Chilton]
Lorelai: Grunt like a gorilla.
Max: I will not grunt like a gorilla.
Lorelai: If you grunt like a gorilla I`ll tell you what color underwear I`m wearing.
Lorelai: [pause] Had you considering the grunt, didn`t I?
Max: Yes.
Lorelai: Boy, I`m good. [Rory and Dean try unsuccessfully to arrange a date, due to conflicting schedules]
Rory: Well, they do say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Dean: Sex is also pretty good at that. Emily: You have a gentleman friend of significance.
Lorelai: [in a Southern accent] Rhett is my gentleman friend, yes. [Lorelai is rejoicing over being able to go down to Luke`s diner and get pie whenever she wants]
Lorelai: Oh, it`s heaven! One quick trip downstairs and I have all the treats I want. You`re like Willy Wonka but hotter.
Luke: I am not hotter than Willy Wonka.
Lorelai: Slap on a purple top hat and you`re close. [on the phone]
Lorelai: Oh, you know what? I have someone standing abnormally close to me right now. I`ll call you later.
Rory: Okay, say hi to Kirk for me. [Logan and Colin storm Rory`s class and pretend to fight over her. Finn enters dressed as an English policeman]
Finn: All right, that`s enough, break it up, you two!
[pulls Colin and Logan up by their collars]
Finn: Rory Gilmore, you should be ashamed of yourself. Toying with these boys like this. They used to have pride. They used to have dignity. They used to have balls. Damn it Gilmore, give `em back their balls! [after Logan`s prank in front of her class]
Rory: I have no words...
Logan: It was just a joke!
Rory: Oh, no, wait. I thought of some. Jerk! Ass, arrogant, inconsiderate, mindless, frat-boy, low-life, butt-face, miscreant!
Logan: `Butt-faced miscreant`!
Rory: Why would you do something like that?
Logan: I`m sorry, `butt-faced miscreant`? [Mrs. Kim is angry that Dean has come over unannounced]
Mrs. Kim: You`re science partners?
Lane: Yes Mama, I invited him over to work.
Mrs. Kim: Work?
Lane: On our science project.
Mrs. Kim: [very suspiciously] Reproduction?
Lane: Spores, molds and fungus. Brad: Through good times and bad, Chilton formed us, brought us hope, honed our insight, gave us encouragement. Though my time here was briefly interrupted by my period spent on Broadway hanging out with Stephen Sondheim, I still consider Chilton the most rewarding experience of my young life. Now it had always been my plan in closing to recite a short poem I`d written.
Louise: But you reconsidered.
Madline: Come on, Brad. Go out a winner.
Brad: But as I read it aloud, I realized the sentiments I wanted to share with my fellow students were better expressed in a favorite song of mine.
[sings]
Brad: Cherish is the word I use to describe... bong, bong. Bong, bong.
Rory: Oh, Brad. [Lorelai is organizing a wedding at the Independence Inn for two bratty twin brides, and their mother is getting stressed]
Mrs. Shales: [to Lorelai] Do you have children?
Lorelai: I have a daughter.
Mrs. Shales: Do you hate her?
Lorelai: No.
Mrs. Shales: Not ever?
Lorelai: Well, I wasn`t wildly fond of her during labor.
Mrs. Shales: That was the high point for me. [Miss Patty`s ballerinas are practising walking around with books on their heads]
Miss Patty: Now, walk smooth. That`s the new Harry Potter on your heads. If they should drop, Harry will die, and there won`t be anymore books. Customer: I`ve been waiting for 10 minutes!
Luke: Sorry, not even close to the record. Dean: Wanna hammer something?
Rory: Always. Rory: [into phone] And then he showed up with a black eye.
Lorelai: [into phone] A black guy?
Rory: [into phone] No, eye! French Businessman: [walks up to the front desk] Bonjour, monsieur. Vous Ítes FranÁais? Vous parlez FranÁais?
[Hello, sir. Are you French, do you speak French?]
Michel: No, sorry.
French Businessman: Mais vous avez une accent FranÁais. Vous parlez pas FranÁais?
[but you have a French accent. Don`t you speak French?]
Michel: Sir, I`m just a simple country boy from Texas. I do not understand this "FranÁais" business you`re babbling about.
Lorelai: [approaches] Pardon.
[takes Michel aside]
Lorelai: He knows you are not from Texas.
Michel: [looking over at the businessmen] Smile when you say that.
Lorelai: Michel, I told you there would be a French group here for a couple of days, and it`s your job to keep them happy.
Michel: Lorelai, I don`t know how many French people you`ve met over the years, but most of them are insufferable.
Lorelai: [sarcastically] Really?
Michel: Mm. That is why I left France.
Lorelai: Huh. I thought it had something to do with the torches and the villagers. Michel, talk to them.
Michel: Never.
[turns away from Lorelai, she just glares at him]
Michel: You are giving me that look, aren`t you? Your patented "Do it or something unspeakable shall befall you" look.
[pause, sighs]
Michel: Fine, I shall be French, but I shall not be happy.
Lorelai: Then you will be yourself. Good choice.
Michel: [trudges over to the businessmen] Bonjour, messieurs. Je m`appelle Michel, ce soir pour vous aider.
[Hello, gentlemen, my name is Michel, I am here to assist you]
French Businessman: [laughs] Vous avez fait un blague to?t • l`heure! TrËs drÙle, trËs drÙle, Michel!
[you played a joke just now! Very funny, very funny!]
French Businessman: [kisses both his cheeks]
Michel: [pretends to laugh, to Lorelai] Kill me now. Michel: There`s a man with a funny accent on the phone asking for you.
Lorelai: Really? Did you guys exchange the secret handshake? Emily: Well, I had this wonderful idea. Christopher`s parents are in town too. You remember Straub and Francine don`t you?
Lorelai: Ah yes - the Schnickelfritzes.
Emily: The who?
Lorelai: The Hayden`s. Lorelai: Are you two completely out of your mind? There is a ceremony going on in there. Young girls in ugly dresses and stupid fans are parading around in circles for God knows what reason, and you two are ruining it. Rory: Uhh, Barry Manilow.
Lorelai: Ugh, stop.
Rory: Looks like we made it...
Lorelai: Oh, yeah? Spice Girls.
Rory: Duran Duran.
Lorelai: Dido.
Rory: Olivia Newton John.
Lorelai: The Macarena. You and Lane for hours and hours, for weeks on end.
Rory: Hey, we were mocking. You can`t mock the mocking.
Lorelai: All right. It`s getting ugly. Let`s stop.
Rory: Let`s be friends again.
Lorelai: All right.
Rory: Hmm-hmm.
Lorelai: Stop it. Lorelai: I thought all butlers` names were Jeeves. Kirk: Man, I wish my mom would let me have a car, or a bike... or my roller skates back. Sookie: [to Lorelai about Luke] He has had to watch you go from one guy to another, and then the engagement was on, and then the engagement was off, and patiently, he`s waited. And in walks this kid and he says "My God, will she date anyone else in the world before she`ll date me?"
Kirk: I love carrot sticks, especially the crinkle cut kind. Lorelai: Oh! One of them has seen Ghostbusters a hundred and twenty-seven times.
[sarcastic]
Lorelai: Can you say score? Lorelai: Women don`t eat at all. They just look at food then jump on the treadmill. Jackson: You better be as pathetic as you sound.
Kirk: You bet. Luke: I`ll bring back brownies.
Lorelai: Ooh, the pouting has left the building. [Jess and Rory are walking to that bridge thing and Jess sits down]
Jess: I like this place.
Rory: Wow. A place in Stars Hollow you actually like.
Jess: And it has so many memories... see over there?
[points]
Jess: That`s where Luke pushed me in. Paris: [talking to her maid in Portuguese about eating at Rory`s] Mucho Mac n` cheese! Rory: Whoa, Logan, where are we going? Slow down!
Logan: You slow down, you die.
Rory: Yeah, you go to fast in heels and you kind of die, also. Richard: Has anyone ever told you to picture the audience in their underwear?
Rory: Yes.
Richard: Don`t do it. I tried it once and had nightmares for weeks. Bulgarians in Speedos. Paris: Sick people freak me out.
Rory: You`re pre-med! Mrs. Kim: [talking to relative at a Kim wedding] Ming-Jei. Look good. Lost weight. Not so fat. Luke: You`re not a contractor, you`re a craftsman!
T.J.: Wow. I`m a craftsman! Like Jesus! Paris: I could really call you?
Lorelai: Anytime. Anywhere.
Paris: I`m gonna hold you to that.
Lorelai: Okay. It`s not a threat, sweetie if someone makes the offer willingly. Rory: [at town meeting, during the town-troubadour debate] ... sometimes you have something you need to say but you can`t, because the words won`t come out or you get scared or you feel stupid. So, if you could write a song and sing it, then you could say what you need to say and it would be beautiful and people would listen and you wouldn`t make a complete idiot out of yourself. But all of us can`t be songwriters, so some of us will never be able to say what we`re thinking or what we want other people to know we`re thinking, so we`ll never be able to get the chance to make things right again... Sookie: I got the idea in a dream. I was back in cooking school, and I was late for my final, so I run over to an oven and I open it up and sitting there is the s`mores wedding cake. And I present it to my teacher, and he starts weeping, and the whole class starts applauding and cheering. And then, of course, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise come leaping out of the cake screaming about how amazing it is, so that made the whole thing a little creepy, but up until then... Lorelai: [on Michel] He`s snarky.
Sookie: And sarcastic.
Lorelai: He`s snarkastic. Logan: You can do anything. You just have to believe in yourself. Did we learn nothing from "Mad Hot Ballroom"? Lorelai: [while on the phone with each other, Lorelei and Rory are watching their Roombas together] Is this more or less fun than watching the same TV show at the same time?
Rory: I think more.
Lorelai: If we were to die right now and decompose, they would vacuum us up. No one would ever know.
Rory: Freaky. Lorelai: Brazzlefrat. Lorelai: Rory took a break from Yale.
Christopher: And the apocalypse is this week? Next week? [Kirk is preparing for a date, and wants to get the best seat at Luke`s]
Kirk: Say I was Tom Cruise. Where would you seat me?
Luke: In an acting class. Rory: Ishkabibble. Lorelai: Stop saying "mother" like that.
Rory: Like what?
Lorelai: Like there should be another word after it. Lorelai: Well, as Maid of Honor, if you`re not there I`m gonna have to get drunk and make out with the best man, who is Rory, so you can see all the very creepy ramifications of your absence here. Lorelai: [to Rory] You`ve got Bambi voice. Michel: Every day that you breathe you make my life harder. Christopher: Who could not like being kissed by a Gilmore girl? Rory: [on phone with Lorelai] I told you to call my landline. My cell phone bill is astronomical.
Lorelai: But a conversation with me - priceless. [Lorelai and Rory haven`t seen each other in a while because of their busy schedules, and are talking on the phone about it]
Lorelai: I`m mad and needy, and I ended up going out to dinner alone with my parents, who bickered the whole time about which Beatle is alive and which is dead.
Rory: So, where`d they land?
Lorelai: John and Keith are dead. Paul and Bingo are still kicking.
[Lorelai is bummed over an argument with Luke and doesn`t know what to do with her evening]
Rory: Mom, you have to do something.
Lorelai: I need a suggestion.
Rory: Have you read "The Bell Jar"?
Lorelai: [gasps] Not funny! Luke: [rushing to leave the diner so he can remove the chuppah from Lorelai`s yard after she and Max break up] Hey, we`re closing early! Chew it or lose it! Richard: Lorelai?
Lorelai: Yes, Dad?
Richard: May I speak to you for a moment?
Michel: [under his breath; in a sing-song voice] Someone is in trouble. Lane: [upset and exasperated with the results of her career aptitude test] Sales!
Rory: Lane.
Lane: Sales!
Rory: It`s just a stupid test.
Lane: Lane Kim, you show a genuine aptitude for sales!
Rory: [trying to placate Lane] It doesn`t mean anything!
Lane: [speaking even faster than normal] Hello, ma`am, I see you`re eyeing the new Whipomatic! Nice Choice! This baby`s right off the truck! And let me tell you if you`re looking for something to fulfill all your whipping needs, you`ve come to the right place, because as Devo says, "When trouble comes along you must whip it!" As long as you whip it with a Whipomatic.
Rory: [bemused] Wow, you *are* good.
Lane: Stop it!
Rory: I`ll take two.
Lane: I don`t want to be in sales.
Rory: You don`t have to be.
Lane: I want to be in something cool!
Rory: How about refrigerators?
Lane: You`re not funny! Zach: Welcome to the SH, bitch. Luke: [Lorelai is whining because the noisy workers have left without saying goodbye] I thought you`d be happy!
Lorelai: Yeah, I am, but sad at the same time. Never been with a woman before? Lane: Lorelai!
Lorelai: Hi Lane!
Lane: You`re in possession.
Lorelai: Of what?
Lane: Of the wedding dress.
Lorelai: Oh, um yeah, it`s safe and sound. I was just starting to dig into it.
Lane: Don`t dig! Slice, kick, maim, destroy!
Lorelai: What?
Lane: Stick a mad pack of wolves on it, douse it with lighter fluid and turn it into ash, I cannot wear that dress!
Lorelai: Yeah I know. It`s a little old world.
Lane: Have you looked at it?
Lorelai: Parts of it.
Lane: Exactly, you can`t take it in all at once, the human eye is not capable.
Lorelai: Oh, it`s not that bad.
Lane: Its got pants.
Lorelai: [intakes breath] No!
Lane: You didn`t look at it very carefully.
Lorelai: Well, I will remove the pants.
Lane: Oh, it`s every girl`s dream to hear the woman altering her wedding dress say "I`ll remove the pants."
Lorelai: I`m sure once I alter it a little...
Lane: No don`t alter it, have and accident! Leave a warm iron on it, spill a vat of acid on it, run your car over it!
Lorelai: Lane. Lane! I haven`t even put it on the mannequin yet. Let me startwork on it and I will keep you fully posted every step of the way.
[Later Lorelai is looking at the awful thing, picks up the hoop skirt end and notices the tiny white pants with gold trim underneath, steps away for a second then steps back and spills the coffee she is holding all over it] Mrs. Kim`s Foriegn Exchange Student: What are we doing here?
Lane: I`ve tried to explain it to her but it is not working.
Rory: We are throwing my grandmother a bachelorette party.
Mrs. Kim`s Foriegn Exchange Student: But She is Married.
Rory: Yeah, but, they are doing it again.
Mrs. Kim`s Foriegn Exchange Student: but why?
Rory: Because, they want to tell each other they love each other all over again.
Mrs. Kim`s Foriegn Exchange Student: But why?
Rory: `cause they do.
Mrs. Kim`s Foriegn Exchange Student: But why?
Rory: Because its fun.
Mrs. Kim`s Foriegn Exchange Student: But why?
Rory: Because,
[looks at Lane]
Lane: Hey, you even lasted one more "but why" than I did. Finn: Good morning, New Haven! My, you look lovely this morning!
Man in apartment: Shut up!
Finn: God has spoken to me... rather rudely. Michel: Are you sure it wasn`t another Michel?
Sookie: You called me! You kept me on the phone for over an hour. I missed the beginning of Queer Eye For the Straight Guy and by the time I got back, they were all gay! Mrs. Kim: Watch it. You break it, you buy it. Ten percent off for cousins, twenty percent off for nephews and nieces Rory: Please, just tell me why you`re here.
Dean: I don`t even know...
Rory: Yes, you do!
Dean: Because I thought that you? Oh, forget it.
Rory: No.
Dean: I thought you were trying to talk to me.
Rory: Oh?
Dean: I mean, you came to my house?
Rory: Oh, no that? that wasn`t me.
Dean: It *was* you.
Rory: It must have been someone that looked like me...
Dean: My sister recognized you from the pictures in my box.
Rory: What box?
Dean: The box I have of us, pictures and letters from you and everything...
Rory: You have a Rory box?
Dean: And what was going on at that town meeting, all that stuff about writing a song?
Rory: I don`t know what I was talking about...
Dean: And it had nothing to do with me?... Well, I must have imagined it all, then. Your boyfriend is waiting.
Rory: He`s not my boyfriend, I *hate* him!
Dean: Whatever.
Rory: Dean!
Dean: What?
Rory: Stop!
Dean: Why?
Rory: Because I love you, you idiot! Dean: We sat down and started reading a book and we fell asleep.
Lorelai: Well, pick a more interesting book next time Jackson: I think we should get married.
Sookie: But - uh, but...
Jackson: Soon.
Sookie: Are you pregnant? Rory: So, Grandpa, how`s the insurance biz?
Richard: Oh, people die, we pay. People crash, we pay. People lose a foot, we pay.
Lorelai: Well, at least you have your new slogan. Emily: You were on the phone?
Richard: Long distance.
Lorelai: God?
Richard: London.
Lorelai: God lives in London?
Richard: My mother lives in London.
Lorelai: Your mother is God?
Richard: Lorelai...
Lorelai: So, God *is* a woman.
Richard: Lorelai.
Lorelai: *And* a relative. That`s so cool. I`m gonna totally ask for favors Dave: What we need is a name.
Brian: I made my suggestion.
Zach: Yeah, and we vetoed "The Harry Potters." Next.
Brian: So yours is better?
Zach: "Follow Them to the Edge of the Dessert" is memorable and classy.
Brian: I run out of breath every time I say it.
Zach: You`ve got asthma, dude. You run out of breath saying your name Lorelai: Everybody in this room named Lorelai is over the moon about the going to Yale. Lorelai: Luke, will you marry me?
Luke: What?Trivia Michael DeLuise (T.J)`s brother David DeLuise plays his onscreen brother Kelly Bishop is a professional dancer Edward Herrmann was a bit hesitant about the dance scene in Richard & Emily`s renewal of their vows as Kelly Bishop is a professional dancer. Sookie`s real name is Susan St James Nathan Wetherington was originally cast to play Dean, instead of Jared Padalecki. Alex Borstein was originally cast to play Sookie, instead of Melissa McCarthy.
Alex Borstein, who was originally cast to play Sookie, has many appearances, including Drella, the Harp player at the Independence Inn; and Miss Celine, who is in the season 5 episode "Come Home". In season 1, episode 5 ("Cinnamon`s Wake"), Lane is found in Rory`s room "skanking to Rancid". In season 4, episode 19 ("After Boom"), "Hep Alien" performs that same song at their gig.
The entire town of Stars Hollow is the Warner Bros Studios backlot set called "Midwest Street" built in 1946 for the film Saratoga Trunk (1945) (a small section usually unseen on the show - behind the church - was added in the early 1990`s for no particular television or film project). The residential street attached is called Kings Row and was built in 1941 (predating the town set) for the Ronald Reagan film of the same name. No new structures have been added to the backlot for the "Gilmore Girls," although the backlot set remains dressed for the show throughout the television shooting season (July through March or April). The mountain often seen on the show is actually Mount Hollywood. Due to the fast pace speech in the show, the average script for an episode of the show runs 75-80 pages, as opposed to 45-50 for a standard hour-long television show. During the 101st episode, a black and white movie from the 1930s is being shown. Lorelai looks at the movie and says they "talked fast" in those movies. When the character Brad Langford (Adam Wylie) returns to Chilton Academy after an absence of several months, he explains that he was away playing Jack in "Into the Woods" on Broadway. Wylie really was away from the series to play Jack in the 2002 Broadway revival of "Into the Woods". Lane`s boyfriend, Dave (Adam Brody), left the show after his first season. To explain his absence, Lane claims that he went to university in California. Brody left the show in order to play the part of Seth in "The O.C." (2003), which takes place in California. Also, when Chad Michael Murray (playing Rory`s Chilton classmate, Tristin Dugray) left the show, his absence was explained by the character being sent to military school in North Carolina, which is where Murray filmed his recurring role on "Dawson`s Creek" and later "One Tree Hill". Lane`s father lives with Lane and her mother, but never appears in the show. Sean Gunn, who plays Kirk, made his first appearance in episode 1.2 ("The Lorelais` First Day at Chilton"), but not as Kirk. His character was named "Mick" and he was installing a DSL server at the Lorelais` home that was ordered by Emily.
He also delivered a goose to the Independence Inn as an unnamed character. Emily and Richard Gilmore have a new maid every episode.
The exterior shot of "The Dragonfly Inn" is actually the home of TV`s "The Waltons" (1972). Liza Weil originally tested for the role of Rory and did not get the part, but the producers liked her so much that they wrote her the role of Paris Gellar.
The town of Stars Hollow is based on Washington Depot, Connecticut. Creator Amy Sherman stayed there while on a trip with her husband to look at Mark Twain`s wallpaper. The character of Lane Kim is based on Helen Pai, a co-producer of the show and the best friend of creator Amy Sherman. Logan`s very wealthy family runs a venerable publishing empire. Their last name, Huntzberger, is a reference to the Sulzberger family, who have owned The New York Times since Arthur Hays Sulzberger succeeded his father-in-law Adolph S. Ochs as publisher in 1935. The exterior shots of the girls` home and the foyer and hallway are all filmed on the outdoor set, while nearly all of the interior house scenes are filmed across the studio front lot in a sound stage, where the entire first floor of the home is built to scale. Scott Patterson, who plays Luke, was not originally hired to be a series regular. He was only signed on for the pilot episode, but it was only after the discovery of the undeniable chemistry between him and Lauren Graham that he was contracted for more episodes, and quickly became a series regular. Lorelai`s dog is named Paul Anka, after the 60`s rock and roll artist, Paul Anka. Alexis Bledel can not stand coffee, but Rory her character loves it. Her coffee cup is filled with coke . In the episode, "Lorelai`s Graduation Day", we discover that Lorelai`s middle name is Victoria. Rory`s given first name is also Lorelai, but her middle name is Leigh. "Lorelei Lee" is the name of a main character in "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" (played by Carol Channing in the original Broadway production and by Marilyn Monroe in the movie version). Lane`s band`s name is "Hep Alien". The writers named it after producer Helen Pai; "Hep Alien" is an anagram of her name. In the show they mention Dirty Dancing (1987) several times. Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore) stars in the movie as Marjorie Houseman. After the sixth season, the show was picked up by The CW because The WB merged with UPN to form The CW. The character of Jess (played by Milo Ventimiglia) was supposed to have a spin-off called "Windward Circle" which was picked up by the WB for midseason 2004, in which the character moves in with his estranged father (played by Rob Estes) and his girlfriend (played by Sherilyn Fenn) from Connecticut to California. But due to the high cost of filming on location in Venice, California, the WB changed their minds and decided not to go forward with it.
Sherilyn Fenn was to have starred alongside Milo Ventimiglia and Rob Estes in the California-set spin-off "Windward Circle". After The WB dropped the project, "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman wanted to work with Fenn again and wrote the character of Anna Nardini with Fenn in mind, in order to bring her back in the series. The character of Anna was originally to have a strong enough presence to be a potential threat to the character of Lorelai. However, after Sherman left the show, the producers changed the direction originally intended for the character, as they decided to make her a villain in a custody battle. In the season 5 opener "Say Goodbye to Daisy Miller", when Luke is leaving Lorelai messages on her answering machine, he states his phone number is (860) 294-1986. This number was used as a bid for donations toward the new Children`s and Maternal Hospital at Hopkins to which the number belongs. Luke is played by Children`s Center Director George Dover`s brother-in-law, Scott Patterson. Milo Ventimiglia was originally supposed to make only a few guest appearances as Jess, Luke`s nephew. The producers liked him so much they offered him a 6 season contract as a series regular. He asked to be signed for only 2 years.
The exterior "Midwest" sets, which incorporate Stars Hollows` town square, the Gazebo, Luke`s Diner and Doosey`s Market, are also featured prominently in "The Dukes of Hazzard" (1979). They can also be seen in a scene in the original theatrical version of The Music Man (1962). There are several subtle references to this fact, including in season 7, Rory`s friend referring to Stars Hallow as the perfect small town where "you expect Harry Hill to come to town and con people into buying band instruments". Luke`s character was originally written to be played by a woman, but the producers figured that "there wasn`t enough testosterone" in the series and that resulted in Scott Patterson turning the character around. At one point Jason (Chris Eigeman) sarcastically states that he`s a hologram. Eigeman played Arnold Rimmer in the first pilot of the ill-fated Red Dwarf (1992) (TV) (a version of the British sit-com "Red Dwarf" (1988)). The character of Rimmer is a hologram. SPOILER: At the end of season 5 after Rory steals a yacht, Lorelai says that Rory`s court date is June 3rd. That is the same day Lorelai sets as her wedding date to Luke later in season 6. | ||
