My Top 50 Gilmore Girls scenes
As soon as I saw the theme for this month's challenge over picspammy I already knew I wanted to do this. I was going to rank the scenes but it's impossible. Gilmore Girls is too perfect for me rank 50 fricken scenes, so they are in chronological order. I probably forgot quite a few scenes that I love. And some I had to leave out 'cause there weren't good screencaps out there (for example: Luke punching Christopher). But well that's what I managed to do. It took me a really long time, but this probably was the picspam I had most fun doing, so... I really hope you enjoy it.
I'm going to explain why most of the scenes are on this list. But I don't have an explanation for a few of them. I just love them for some reason. So on to it...
SEASON ONE
Why: This scene is a classic. And I love how it's the 3 of them there, like the family they always were.
LUKE: Coffee. . .fries. I can't stand it. This is so unhealthy. Rory, please, put down that cup of coffee. You do not want to grow up to be like your mom.
RORY: Sorry, too late.
LORELAI: So tell me about the guy.
RORY: Check, please.
LORELAI: No, really, are you embarrassed to bring him home?
RORY: I'm not embarrassed.
LORELAI: Does he talk at all?
RORY: No, Mom, he's a mime.
Why: This was the first scene of the show that I saw. I can still remember how I was zapping channels and I stopped when I saw two girls tilting their heads and talking fast... I was hooked ever since.
RORY: I remember it being smaller.
LORELAI: Yeah. And less. . .
RORY: Off with their heads.
LORELAI: Yeah. *tilts her head and peers up at the building*
RORY: What are you looking at?
LORELAI: I'm just trying to see if there's a hunchback up in that bell tower.
Why: Lorelai/Rory being cute. And the idea of telling Rory's birth story to her every single year is quite endering. I actually tell my sister the story of her birth day every year because of this scene :D
LORELAI: I can't believe how fast you're growing up.
RORY: Really? Feels slow.
LORELAI: Trust me, it's fast. What do you think of your life so far?
RORY: I think it's pretty good.
LORELAI: Any complaints?
RORY: I'd like that whole humidity thing to go away.
LORELAI: All right. I'll work on that.
RORY: So do I look older?
LORELA: Oh, yeah. You walk into Denny's before 5, you've got yourself a discount.
RORY: Good deal.
LORELAI: So you know what I think?
RORY: What?
LORELAI: I think you're a great, cool kid, and the best friend a girl could have.
RORY: Right back at ya.
LORELAI: And it's so hard to believe that at exactly this time many moons ago, I was lying in exactly the same position --
RORY: Oh, boy. Here we go.
Why: 'That Damn Donna Reed' is my Top 2 episode, the amount of L² on this episode is just too awesome. I was like 11/12 when I watched this episode so I can't really recall it, but I'm almost sure I started shipping them after watching this episode. Back when I didn't even knew what shipping meant.
LORELAI: Yeah, it is. But let's not spruce this particular spot.
LUKE: That sounds good.
LORELAI: OK.
*They look at each other then hear voices outside. Luke starts to get up*
LUKE: Oh, jeez --
LORELAI: No, no, don't get up.
LUKE: But if I don't get up --
LORELAI: They'll go away. They'll go away, trust me. Shh.
Why: I love how he looks so cocky when thinking there wasn't any chick lost. LMAO!
LORELAI: Stella! Stella!
LUKE: You really do have a chick loose in here.
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.
RICHARD: [to Rory] Make her stop.
RORY: Oh that I could.
Why: One of the things I like the most about this show is Emily/Lorelai's relationship. They are so damaged and one hurt the other pretty badly. But still, they love each other very deeply. Kelly breaks my heart on this scene; Emily looking around the place and realizing her daughter gave up on everything for that, it must be heartbreaking for a mother.
EMILY: Why is it weird to do something for my granddaughter?
LORELAI: I don't know. I mean, it's not like you bought her a car. By the way, don't. It's a room and . . .you know, you're right. It's nice. I'm sorry. I'm just being silly.
EMILY: Maybe you don't like the fact that now she has a place away from you, some place that's just her own.
LORELAI: I said I was fine.
EMILY: Or maybe its because its so large and spacious and has four solid walls around the bathtub.
LORELAI: What?
EMILY: I mean, it may not be exciting or bohemian, but at least it doesn't have shovels propped up against the sofa either, now does it?
LORELAI: I'm sorry. I missed the checkered flag, when did the argument start?
EMILY: Is it because it's not a shack in the woods? Or is it the proximity to me that's making it so uncomfortable for you?
LORELAI: What are you talking about?
EMILY: You hated us that much?
LORELAI: What?
EMILY: You had to take that little girl away. That was bad enough. But to that? To live there, in a shed, like a hobo?
LORELAI: Who uses the word hobo anymore?
EMILY: I saw it. I saw that horrible little pit you so proudly ran to. I saw what you chose over your own family. You would've lived in the gutter, in the street, it a cardboard box, anywhere as long as you didn't have to be near us, isn't that true?
LORELAI: Mom...
EMILY: Isn't that true Lorelai?
LORELAI: Mom, I was very young and I was very unhappy and I needed to be some place that wasn't here.
EMILY: Excuse me.
Why: From season 1 to season 3 I really liked Dean. He was very boyfriend material and was always so nice to Rory. And he truly loved her. Too bad they had sex and he became a total jerk. But I still like oldschool!Dean. And thsi scene is super cute.
DEAN: I thought you were trying to talk to me.
RORY: Oh.
DEAN: I mean, you came to my house.
RORY: That wasn't me.
DEAN: It was you.
RORY: It must've been someone that looked like me.
DEAN: My sister recognized you from the pictures in my box.
RORY: In what box?
DEAN: The box of stuff I have of us. Pictures and letters and everything from you.
RORY: You have a Rory box?
DEAN: And what was going on at the town meeting, all that stuff about writing a song?
RORY: I don't know what I was talking about.
DEAN: That had nothing to do with me? Well I must have imagined it all then. Your boyfriend's 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.
Why: I guess if I were to actually rank this picspam, this scene would be on my top 10. It's just so beautiful. I've always been a Lorelai/Luke shipper, but Max is just such a great guy. But I guess he wasn't quite ready to enter Lorelai's world, I guess he's way too down to Earth and methodical for them to have worked together. But the proposal was kickass, I mean he's speech was *___* I don't even like daisies, but I would love a proposal like this.
MAX: I couldn't find a horse.
LORELAI: You didn't have to.
MAX: Don't say anything, 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.
LORELAI: Max.
MAX: No, listen, I woke up this morning and I realized that I have studied and talked a great literature all my life and those stories are replete with characters that let opportunities slip by. But what I teach is more than just literature, its lessons in life. And if I don't follow the tenants of those lessons, I'm not the man I thought I was. The man I want to be.
LORELAI: God, you talk so good.
MAX: I don't want an answer now. I've thought about this. I want you to do the same. I love you Lorelai Gilmore. And I know this to be true. I'll talk to you later.
SEASON TWO
SOOKIE: Hi, Mrs. Gilmore? It's Sookie St. James, Lorelai's friend. I don't know if you remember me.
EMILY: Oh yes, you're the chef at the Inn.
SOOKIE: That's right. Listen, I'm sorry to call so late, but I need to ask you a question. I'm planning a surprise wedding shower for Lorelai and Max, and it's gonna be more like a big party actually. But I've cleared the date with everybody around here, so we're all set to go, but I wanted to make sure you guys were gonna be around before I finalized everything. It's going to be Saturday the 21st.
EMILY: I don't know, I'd have to check.
SOOKIE: Okay, Okay. You check, and then you call me at the inn, okay?
EMILY: Yes, I'll get back to you.
SOOKIE: Okay.
[CUT TO RICHARD'S OFFICE]
EMILY: I want you to call Rory tomorrow and apologize.
RICHARD: What?
EMILY: I want you to call her and tell her you're sorry. That you weren't feeling well and you think that Dean is a lovely boy and he's welcome here anytime.
RICHARD: Have you gone insane? Under no circumstance will I ...
EMILY: Our daughter is getting married. She's getting married and she didn't tell us. When Rory decides to get married, I'd like her to tell us. Call her tomorrow.
Why: It's the chuppah. He loves her, she's marrying someone else, and he makes a chuppah for her ♥
LORELAI: What is that?
LUKE: Oh, it's a chuppah.
LORELAI: A what?
LUKE: A chuppah. You stand under it, you and Max. It's for your wedding.
LORELAI: Did you make that?
LUKE: Yeah, I had some time, so…here, give me a hand, huh?
LORELAI: Luke, it's beautiful.
(...)
LUKE: I guess if you can find that one person, you know, who's willing to put up with all your crap, and doesn't want to change you or dress you or you know, make you eat French food, then marriage can be all right. But that's only if you find that person.
LORELAI: Yeah, if you find that person.
[They both get up and stand under the chuppah.]
LORELAI: No one has ever made me a chuppah before.
LUKE: Well, you only get married once. Theoretically.
LORELAI: Yeah, you only get married once.
Why: Because he's her right guy ♥
LUKE: So the participation in this thing was purely for home improvement reasons?
LORELAI: Yes. And I don’t know, it’s a nice concept.
LUKE: What is?
LORELAI: Just having someone who you love or have some kind of crazy crush on bid on your basket and then share a romantic lunch, it’s a nice concept.
LUKE: Well, I’m sure someday you’ll manage to find the right guy and drag him out to this thing and make him by your stupid basket and then you’ll be sitting out here with him.
LORELAI: Yeah, someday.
LUKE: You know what?
LORELAI: What?
LUKE: This is nice.
Why: It's fricken hilarious. And super cute.
MARY: It’s a very quiet street and the owner keeps the building up beautifully. He hasn’t remodeled it at all. Plus, I bet he could be persuaded to give the floor a little spruce if you like.
LORELAI: Oh yeah, we’d like a spruce.
LUKE: A spruce is unnecessary.
LORELAI: Hey, you never turn down a spruce.
MARY: She’s right - listen to her.
LORELAI: Yeah, listen to me.
LUKE: You rarely give me a choice.
LORELAI: Come here so I can lick your face.
LUKE: What?
MARY: Now, I went over the square footage and the details of the lease with your husband this morning. Did he fill you in?
LUKE: What? Oh no, we’re - .
LORELAI: No, no, he didn’t, but you know how men are. The minute that ball game comes on, all the realities of life just go right out the window.
MARY: Don’t I know it.
LORELAI: I mean, I could answer the door wrapped in cellophane but unless I was wearing a Yankees cap. . .ugh, he wouldn’t even notice.
LUKE: Geez.
LORELAI: Oh, don’t be embarrassed Snuffy, I’m just teasing. It’d be a Mets cap.
LUKE: Hey Mary, could you possibly leave me and little missus alone for just a minute?
MARY: Why, of course.
LORELAI: I promise we won’t do anything dirty.
MARY: Oh please, if my husband and I looked anything like the two of you, we’d never get dressed.
LORELAI: Oh, you are bad!
Why: I got so giddy when I watched this. Even Emily knew, back then, that they were meant to be together.
EMILY: I know that in a million years, you would never let me plan your wedding. I gave up on that dream a long time ago. Yours was going to be a Russian winter theme - the Romanovs.
LORELAI: Before the firing squad, I assume?
EMILY: Snow white roses, trees with white lights and candles, snow everywhere, you arriving in a silver sleigh with white horses.
LORELAI: Wow.
EMILY: You hate the idea.
LORELAI: No, no, I just - .
EMILY: You just hate it.
LORELAI: No, it just doesn’t seem like me.
EMILY: Yes, well, it would’ve been beautiful.
LORELAI: I’m sure it would’ve been.
EMILY: Anyhow, it’s obvious that wouldn’t even be appropriate anymore being as I’m probably standing in your reception hall.
LORELAI: Excuse me?
EMILY: Burgers and fries for the dinner? The bride walks down the aisle with a ketchup dispenser in her hand.
LORELAI: Please tell me what you’re talking about.
EMILY: I’m talking about Luke.
LORELAI: Luke? Mom!
EMILY: Well, it’s obvious, Lorelai.
LORELAI: No, it’s not, Mom.
EMILY: You’re with him constantly.
LORELAI: He feeds me.
EMILY: You bring up his name constantly.
LORELAI: Once again, he feeds me.
EMILY: The moment he calls, you run to his side.
LORELAI: He’s my friend, he needed me, I had to be there.
EMILY: Yes, I know you did.
[Luke comes down the stairs and walks over to them]
LUKE: Hi.
EMILY: Hello. I have to go. I’ll see you for dinner tonight, Lorelai. And Luke, I’m sure I’ll see you again soon. What do you think of the Romanovs?
LUKE: They probably had it coming.
EMILY: A match made in heaven.
Why: I love their acting on this scene. And I'm weird, I like couples fighting; it's so much fun... except when it's heartbreaking. But this one was just them bickering. And ya know what people say about bickering cough*foreplay*cough. Oh and I love how he says he cares more about Rory than he cares about himself ♥
LUKE: I have to find out where Jess is.
LORELAI: Well, I’ll tell you where he’s not - he’s not in the emergency room having him arm plastered up!
LUKE: Hey, I am sorry about Rory. You know I care more about her than I do myself, but at least you know where Rory is and at least you know that she’s okay. Now, I have to find Jess and I have to make sure that he’s okay, and if that cuts into your screaming time, well that’s just too damn bad!
LORELAI: Go to hell!
LUKE: Right back at ya!
Why: proud!Emily + proud!Richard + accomplished!Lorelai = ♥
SEASON THREE
Why: For 2 minutes we thought this was for real. And then...The fandom exploded. And 'til the last season we hoped this dream would come true one day. But I guess it did on every JJ shipper mind :D
LUKE: Goodbye crazy lady. [to Lorelai’s stomach] Goodbye Sid and Nancy.
LORELAI: Leopold and Loeb.
LUKE: What?
LORELAI: I changed my mind, don’t tell Rory.
LUKE: Decaf.
LORELAI: Never.
LUKE: They’ll both have two heads.
LORELAI: More to love.
Why: He's her whole package *__*
LORELAI: I always thought if he could just get it together, grow up - maybe we could do it. Maybe we could really be a family, in the stupid, traditional ‘Dan Quayle, golden retriever, grow old together, wear matching jogging suits’ kind of way. And then he did get it together - he became that guy. . . and he gets to be that guy with her. Chris is gonna have a baby with his girlfriend. He’s gonna marry her. . .and he’s gonna be there for her while she’s pregnant and he’s gonna be there with her while her child grows up, and he’s gonna be there for her while she does. . . whatever it is she does. And I am in exactly the same place that I was in before.
LUKE: Is that so bad? I mean, you got Rory.
LORELAI: Yes, I do.
LUKE: You got friends, you got a house, a job, apparently an iron stomach.
LORELAI: No, it’s not so bad. I’m lucky, I know. I just. . .I feel like I’m never gonna have it. . .the whole package, you know? That person, that couple life, and I swear, I hate admitting it because I fancy myself Wonder Woman, but. . .I really want it - the whole package.
[Luke puts a donut on a plate, then slides it down the counter to her]
LUKE: You’ll get it.
LORELAI: How do you know?
LUKE: I know.
LORELAI: How do you know?
LUKE: Because I know, okay? I know. Now eat your donut.
Why: All the three Gilmore Girls go against Christopher. Fucking finally. The heavens sang a "Hallelujah", not even kidding.
RORY: I didn’t call you back because I didn’t want to. Me - Mom had nothing to do with it.
LORELAI: Okay, honey, calm down.
RORY: You promised me. You promised me at Sookie’s wedding that this was going to work, that you were going to be there, you promised me.
CHRISTOPHER: Honey, please understand -
RORY: No, I always understand, and I don’t wanna understand! I don’t even really wanna talk about this right now. I’ve got Mom, that’s all I need. Go be somebody else’s dad!
CHRISTOPHER: Don’t say that.
RORY: I’m going upstairs. Call me when he’s gone.
(...)
CHRISTOPHER: I didn’t want things to turn out this way!
LORELAI: But they did turn out this way!
CHRISTOPHER: But I didn’t want that!
LORELAI: Christopher, is Sherry still pregnant?
CHRISTOPHER: Of course she is.
LORELAI: Are you still with her?
CHRISTOPHER: Yes.
LORELAI: Are you gonna marry her?
CHRISTOPHER: Yes.
LORELAI: Then, honey, we are where we are! Accept it.
CHRISTOPHER: I can’t.
LORELAI: Don’t you understand that I can’t talk to you because it hurts talking to you, really hurts! Standing here right now is killing me, okay? Don’t you understand that?
EMILY: Christopher, I think you’d better go now.
CHRISTOPHER: Emily, I . . .
EMILY: Leave now, please.
LORELAI: I had a dream once that you set eighteen alarm clocks to get me up, which is not a bad way to get me up.
LUKE: Where were we?
LORELAI: We were, um, at my house. I got up, I went downstairs for coffee, and you talked to my stomach.
LUKE: Why on earth I do that?
LORELAI: Well, because I was pregnant. Twins.
LUKE: Mine?
LORELAI: What am I, dream tramp? Of course yours.
LUKE: We were married?
LORELAI: Um, yeah. Did I not mention that?
LUKE: No. You know, you shouldn't drink coffee when you're pregnant.
LORELAI: Uh, true.
LUKE: It's probably why Rory's a caffeine addict.
LORELAI: Right, you're right.
LUKE: Dream go beyond that?
LORELAI: No. Um, you talked to my stomach and then you ki. . .well, no.
LUKE: Oh, okay. Well. . .night.
LORELAI: Yeah, night.
RORY: Jess and Dean got into the fight.
LORELAI: Over you.
RORY: I was a contributing factor.
LORELAI: Was anyone hurt?
RORY: No.
LORELAI: And that's why the cops came and broke up the party?
RORY: Yes.
LORELAI: So not only did you go to a cop-raided party but you started the raid?
RORY: Yes.
LORELAI: This fence is broken because of you, this crap is on the ground because of you.
RORY: What's your point?
LORELAI: [sings] Did you ever know that you're my hero?
RORY: Oh my God!
LORELAI: [sings] You're everything I would like to be. And I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Why: I guess... maybe this is my favorite GG scene. It pretty much sums up the essence of this show. The unconditional love that Rory and Lorelai had towards each other. I was so proud of both of them when I watched this. They are amazing women and role models to so many of us. This scene always makes me cry. Oh hell, even reading the transcript makes me cry. Oh and I also love how Luke was there and crying. To me, he's Rory true dad. period.
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 have been my mentors - so many people who have 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.
SOOKIE: Uh oh.
LORELAI: Hang in there.
RORY: 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.
SOOKIE: Not crying.
LORELAI: Crying a little.
SOOKIE: Crying a little, but not blubbering. That's what we meant when we said no crying, no blubbering.
RORY: Thank you, Mom. You are my guidepost for everything.
SEASON FOUR
LORELAI: We'll be those dirty, filthy, almost-French Stars Hollow girls. [in French accent] Oh, we spit on you, you repressed puritanical ninnies.
RORY: [in French accent] We smirk in your general direction.
LORELAI: [in French accent] We cast sidelong glances that are vague but slightly threatening.
RORY: [in French accent] We eschew your quaint double entendre for the appealing lasciviousness of the entendre singular.
LORELAI: We. . .eh. . .I'm out.
RORY: Me, too. Get the light.
(...)
[they hear a howling sound]
LORELAI: Is that some guy howling?
RORY: I don't know, sounded like it.
[they hear another howl]
LORELAI: Sounds like the guys' floor had some fun tonight, too.
RORY: I'd say so.
[there's another howl; Lorelai responds with a howl]
RORY: Mom!
LORELAI: Well, if no one answers him, he may never stop.
[several guys start howling]
LORELAI: Or it'll get a bunch of other guys howling, one or the other. [howls again]
RORY: Oh, boy.
LORELAI: It's fun.
[Rory howls]
RORY: It is fun.
[they both howl]
LORELAI: What?
RORY: I don't know.
Why: :'(
LORELAI: So, this is really it.
RORY: Yup.
LORELAI: You good?
RORY: I'm good. Just keep your pager with you.
LORELAI: Always.
Why: Bickering + she almost admits it.
LUKE: You know, none of this is any of your business.
LORELAI: It's absolutely my business.
LUKE: How?
LORELAI: Because! I wasted a week of my life adjusting to the idea that you had moved only to find out that you haven't moved.
LUKE: How much adjusting did you have to do? Nothing's changed! I still see you everyday, I still cook your food, I still serve your coffee. What do you care?
LORELAI: I care.
LUKE: Why?
LORELAI: Because I don't want you to move.
LUKE: Why? Why don't you want me to move?
[Lorelai stares at him for a second, but a door opens behind them and Lorelai and Luke lower their heads guiltily. Reverend Skinner walks in.]
REVEREND: Lorelai? Luke? [Sees the tools.] Oh, thank God! Carry on.
Why: He's there for her, once again. I love how she always ends up turning to him; how he's her best friend and how she always describes this perfect guy and this perfect relationship and all the time, it's her conscience describing Luke.
LUKE: [concerned] Everything okay?
LORELAI: What?
LUKE: Are you okay?
LORELAI: Why?
LUKE: Because you don't look okay.
LORELAI: Well, geez, take me now, sailor.
LUKE: I mean, you look distracted.
LORELAI: Distracted, no. Well, maybe -- yeah. Distracted, okay, sure. I'm very distracted.
LUKE: Anything I can do?
LORELAI: You know, there are very few times in my life when I find myself sitting around thinking, "I wish I was married," but today, I mean -- I'm happy. You know? I like my life. I like my friends. I like my stuff. My time, my space, my TV.
LUKE: Yeah, sure.
LORELAI: But every now and then, just for a moment, I wish I had a partner, someone to pick up the slack. Someone to wait for the cable guy, make me coffee in the morning, meet the stupid sink before it gets sent back to Canada. [wanders to nearby bench and sits]
LUKE: What happened? [joins her on bench]
LORELAI: [ Voice breaking ] Um... [ Sniffles ] I just thought I had everything under control, but I didn't, and the inn is just falling apart. This has been my dream forever, and I have it, and it's here, and I'm failing. I can't handle it. I just spend every minute running around and working and thinking. [Luke puts his arm across the back of the bench and listens quietly.] And I thought I would have help, but Sookie has Davey, and Michel has Celine, and I'm -- I can't do it all by myself. [Luke moves closer.] And I don't even have time to see my kid, and hell, forget see her, just even talk to her. And I miss her. And I sat there in my parents' house just listening to my grandmother basically call me a charity case, and I couldn't even argue with her. I couldn't even say anything, because I am. I'm running out of money, and I don't know what to do about it, and I was gonna, I was gonna ask you for $30,000 at dinner tonight. That's how pathetic I am.
LUKE: Thirty thousand dollars. Well, okay, I mean if you --
LORELAI: I don't want to talk about it now. I don't want to think about it. [hiding face, she leans against his chest] I'm failing. [ Sobs ] I'm failing.
[Luke hugs her close, strokes her hair, and gently rubs her arm.]
LUKE: You are not failing.
LORELAI: [muffled] I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
LUKE: [gently] It's okay.
Why: He sees her face ♥
MAN ON CASSETTE: Whose phone calls or visits are never unwanted or too long? Do you see her face? Who would you most like to have in your life to ward off moments of loneliness? Do you see her face? When you travel, who would make your travels more enjoyable? Do you see her face? When you're in pain, who would you most like to comfort you? Do you see her face? When something wonderful happens in your life -- a promotion at work, a successful refinancing -- who do you want to share the news with? Do you see her face? Whose face appears to you, my friend? Whose face?
LUKE: Whoa.
Why: Because it's Lorelai and Luke DANCING. And smiling. And being cute. And finally starting things.
RORY: What's your damage, Heather?
LORELAI: I think I'm dating Luke.
RORY: What?
LORELAI: I'm not sure. It's just a possibility. I could be wrong.
RORY: But how? When?
LORELAI: I went with him to his sister's wedding, and it was really nice. We had a really good time. We laughed a lot, and we ate, and then we danced.
RORY: Danced? How?
LORELAI: We pop-locked.
RORY: Was it a fast dance, slow dance, group dance?
LORELAI: It was a slow dance. What is "group dance?"
RORY: The hustle, the hora.
LORELAI: No hustle, no hora. It was a slow dance -- a waltz. Luke can waltz.
RORY: Luke can waltz?!
LORELAI: Luke can waltz.
RORY: Look how you just said, "Luke can waltz."
LORELAI: What, I'm just saying, I'm surprised that Luke can waltz.
RORY: That sounded more like, "I'm surprised I still have my clothes on."
LORELAI: Oh, stop.
Why: Well, if you need a reason for THIS...
LUKE: Aw, I don't want to calm down! I did everything right! I did exactly what the book said!
LORELAI: The book?!
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 gazes at Lorelai, then moves closer.]
LORELAI: What are you doing?
LUKE: Will you just stand still?
[He gathers her in his arms and they kiss. Lorelai pulls away then moves back closer to Luke.]
LUKE: What are you doing?
LORELAI: Will you just stand still?
SEASON FIVE
Why: He kept the horoscope for 8 years. Eight fucking years. *____*
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: [gasps] Ooh, is it me? Is it me?
LUKE: This person comes tearing into the place in a caffeine frenzy.
LORELAI: [gleeful] 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: [dryly] 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: [grinning] 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 - [pulls a small scrap of paper from his wallet and holds it out to Lorelai] one day it would bring me luck.
LORELAI: [teasing] Well, man, I will say anything for a cup of coffee [unfolds the scrap and reads it with new remembrance] Um...I can't believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet? [sees his serious expression] You kept this in your wallet.
LUKE: Eight years.
LORELAI: [touched] Eight years.
[Luke sighs and returns the precious scrap to his wallet]
LUKE: Lorelai, this thing we're doing here -- me, you -- I just want you to know I'm in. I am all in.
LORELAI: I can't believe you kept that horoscope.
LUKE: You're just lucky I never clean out my wallet.
LORELAI: You can't take it back now. You've exposed yourself. You've been pining for me.
LUKE: [ Chuckles ] I have not been pining.
LORELAI: I'm your Ava Gardner.
LUKE: God help me. [ Sighs ] Okay. Let's get something out of the way right now. [reaches over to the nightstand and picks up a pad of paper and pencil]
LORELAI: What? What are you doing?
LUKE: Tell me what CD's to get so I don't have to hear about it.
LORELAI: Seriously?
LUKE: And skip any '80s groups where the guys dressed up like pirates. I draw the line at pirates.
LORELAI: [kisses his shoulder] This has been a really great first date.
LUKE: It only took us eight years to get here.
Why: I don't actually ship Rory+someone. I liked her with Dean when he wasn't a prick, I liked Jess but I never liked him with Rory and I liked Rory and Logan. Actually, since Rory dropped Yale I never liked her as much as I used to and this saddens me to no end, you have no idea. I mean, I still love Rory to death, but I got really disappointed on her. But back on season 6 when I wanted to slap her, I at least could enjoy her scenes when Logan was around. And this scene is the beginning of everything. And it's awesome.
LOGAN: You trust me?
RORY: You jump, I jump, Jack.
CROWD: In Omnia Paratus!
(...)
LOGAN: You did good, Ace!
RORY: Once in a lifetime experience!
LOGAN: Only if you want it to be.
Why: Emily thinks Hello is a line! kashpofkashpofkashpof
EMILY: You get over here right now!
LORELAI: Who is this?
EMILY: This is you in twenty years! Who is this, I swear!
LORELAI: Mom, calm down.
EMILY: He'll be here in one hour and I have no idea what to wear. You've got
to come right now.
LORELAI: Who'll be there in one hour, Dad?
EMILY: Simon McLane!
LORELAI: Who is Simon McLane?
EMILY: He's my date!
LORELAI: What?!
EMILY: I have no idea what to put on. I'm in a blind panic and it's all your
fault.
LORELAI: How is it my fault?
EMILY: Because I used your line and it worked!
LORELAI: What line?
EMILY: Hello!
LORELAI: Hello is not my line. Hello is not a line. Hello is hello.
EMILY: Well all I know is I hello-d him today and now he's taking me to
dinner.
LORELAI: Mom -
EMILY: If you don't get over here right now I'm going to book a DAR function
at the Dragonfly every single weekend from now until I die!
LORELAI: I'll be right there!
LORELAI: What in the world inspired you to do this?
LUKE: Well, I felt kind of bad about you and snow, the rough time you were
having, and I really wasn’t helping any by saying all that stuff about snow
being a pain and impractical, and it’s just icy water falling from the sky,
and I thought maybe I’d get you two back together. Make you feel better
about snow again.
LORELAI: Oh, yeah?
LUKE: I’m grumpy about stuff but I don’t want you to be.
Why: This scene is another classic. I've always overlooked Emily's misleads because I do think that she always tried to do what she thought was the best for Lorelai and now I can even forgive her for bringing Christopher back into picture, but back then I was really glad Lorelai was done with her.
LORELAI: You and me, we're done.
Why: Because it breaks my heart. Because he went there even though they had broken up, just because she needed him. And 'cause Lauren is a genious.
LORELAI [sighs]: You got my message.
LUKE: Yeah, I was home and I couldn't reach the phone, so I ran over here. I
knocked, there was no answer, so I tried the loose window, but I fixed that
last week, and then I realized I fixed all the stupid ways there were to get
in your house, and I broke the back door lock and I ran inside and you
weren't there.
LORELAI: Oh, my God.
LUKE: It's okay, I can fix it.
LORELAI: I'm so sorry, Luke. I will never do this to you ever again. I am
absolutely humiliated. I was hurting, and I knew if I called you you'd come.
I never should have done that.
LUKE: It's okay.
LORELAI: No, it's not okay. It's not okay. I am not that girl. I am not the
one who cries and falls apart and calls her ex-boyfriend to come and save
her. Thank you so much for coming, and for breaking my door. You're an
amazing guy for doing that. [She hands him the tape.]
LUKE: What's that?
LORELAI: It's the tape from your answering machine.
LUKE: From my answering machine?
LORELAI: The last crazy thing you will ever have to endure from me, I
promise. [Pause.] I just want you to know that I heard you when you said
that you're out. I did. I'm going to respect that from now on.
LUKE: Okay.
LORELAI: You should go. It's cold. I'll be fine.
Why: This kiss is fricken hot! The way he just grabs her and *___*
Why: I love the way she looks at him as he comes up with a plan to get Rory back on track; and how she realizes right there he's the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with. I really don't know what I love the most, her proposing to him or the fact that Luke cares so much about Rory.
LORELAI [quietly]: Rory dropped out of Yale.
LUKE: What?
LORELAI: She dropped out of Yale and she moved in with my parents, who I
went to for help, and they stabbed me in the back. Everything we worked for.
All these years. Her whole future. She was supposed to have more than me.
She was supposed to have everything. That was the plan. We had a plan.
LUKE: Okay, I’m sorry. I have to jump in here. Uh, I know you think you have
this thing handled, but I can help. First off, we call Yale and we tell them
something like, uh, Rory had a chemical imbalance and she was mentally out
of her mind when she told them she was dropping out. And then we get her out
of your parents house whatever way we can. We lock her up in her room with
you, because you can talk anybody into anything. And if worse comes to
worst, we will drive her to school every day and we will follow her to class
and camp out there to make sure she goes. I’ll take morning classes, you
take afternoon classes, or the other way around, if it works out better for
your schedule. And I know there’s a few kinks to work out, the kidnapping
thing might be a little problematic but either way, she is not quitting
school. This was her dream. I am not going to let this happen.
[He takes a deep breath. Lorelai is gazing at him.]
LUKE: What?
LORELAI: Luke, will you marry me?
LUKE: What?
SEASON SIX
Why: H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S.
RORY: Sorry I'm late.
PSYCHOLOGIST: Well, considering how many times you rescheduled, I'm just happy you're here at all.
RORY: I was just spending some time with my mother. You know. We were apart for a while.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You were?
RORY: Yeah.
PSYCHOLOGIST: Falling out?
RORY: Nothing major, just mother-daughter stuff. [The psychologist nods.] I don't have to lie down, do I?
PSYCHOLOGIST: No, that's not a lying down couch.
RORY: Good. [She sits.]
PSYCHOLOGIST: So, did this falling out have anything to do with your dropping out of school?
RORY: Boy, we just jumped into this, didn't we?
PSYCHOLOGIST: You want to talk about something else first?
RORY: No.
PSYCHOLOGIST: I mean, we're here to talk about your leaving school, so I figured let's just start there. What happened?
RORY: Nothing. We fought. Uh, I'm fine. We're fine.
PSYCHOLOGIST: I hear you had some legal problems.
RORY: My, those are some big ears you have there, Grandma.
PSYCHOLOGIST: Stealing a boat is a pretty big deal.
RORY: I was upset.
PSYCHOLOGIST: About what?
RORY: About life, and things and - stuff.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You spent a night in jail?
RORY: Yes, I did.
PSYCHOLOGIST: How did that feel?
RORY [pauses]: Great.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You don't want to talk about this either?
RORY: I'm just, I'm sick of talking about it, that's all.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You seem very agitated.
RORY: I'm not agitated. I - so I spent a night in jail. Big deal. So did Martin Luther King!
PSYCHOLOGIST: Are you comparing yourself with Martin Luther King?
RORY: No, I'm not. I just, I'm saying that he spent a night in jail too.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You were arrested with your boyfriend?
RORY: Yes, I was.
PSYCHOLOGIST: Tell me about that.
RORY: About what? He was my boyfriend then and now he's not.
PSYCHOLOGIST: He's not.
RORY: No, he's not. We broke up. Oh, no, I'm sorry. He broke up. I thought that we were just taking some time, but apparently I'm a moron!
PSYCHOLOGIST: Does this Logan -
RORY: Wha - you have his name, too? Super! Do you also have the picture of him hijacking me in my hallway earlier today?
PSYCHOLOGIST: I'm sorry, what?
RORY: I mean, how fair is that? He's gone, and then he shows up out of the blue, "You can't live here! This place is a dump! And by the way, I love you!" I love you? Is he serious?
PSYCHOLOGIST: I don't know.
RORY [emotionally]: Nothing for weeks, and then he just decides that he loves me? So what happens now? I get another Birkin bag? And how long until he doesn't love me again, huh? [The psychologist holds out a box of tissues. She snatches it from him.] I stole a boat with him! I never stole a boat with Dean!
PSYCHOLOGIST: Who's Dean?
RORY [crying]: My married ex-boyfriend who I lost my virginity to!
PSYCHOLOGIST: Wow.
RORY: Yeah, I'm a treat! I don't know what I'm going to do! I don't think I can take running into him every day in the halls, and in the paper, and the coffee cart! Oh my God! I'm going to have to quit drinking coffee! And I love coffee!
[She weeps openly. The psychologist raises his eyebrows and writes something down.]
RORY [waving around a handful of tissues]: I really love coffee!
Why: I kinda have a love/hate thin gwith this scene. I hate how she shows him the dress, because I'm supertitious and I'll forever blame this scene for making us never have an actual wedding. But that's being silly. And I absolutely love the way he looks at her, completely mesmerized, and in love. Even though this dress is just UGH.
LORELAI [OS]: I will come down, but I'm coming down in my wedding dress!
LUKE: What? No!
LORELAI: Yes!
LUKE: It's bad luck for me to see the wedding dress.
LORELAI: I know, but I need you to see this dress. There's something not right up here. It was too easy. I can't be objective anymore.
LUKE: But -
LORELAI: I'm coming down!
LUKE: I don't -
[Lorelai comes down in the dress and veil.]
LORELAI: Well?
LUKE [stunned]: It's - you're perfect.
LORELAI: Really? Have you seen the back? I think the train's a little weird,
and I can still take it back if you don't think -
LUKE: It's perfect.
LORELAI: Are you sure?
[Luke kisses her. She smiles.]
LORELAI: Okay. It's not bad luck if it's under five minutes. [She runs back upstairs. Luke watches her, then sighs.]
Why: TOP 2 SCENE!!!!! The dialogue, the cameras, the fights, the jokes, more fights, it's *__________* Friday Night Dinners have always been one of my favorite things about GG. Oh and it's hilarious how Lorelai and Emily always go back to the fact Lorelai didn't marry Christopher.
LORELAI: Hey! [They stop walking.] This is not going to happen! You're not going back to your moonscape, you're not going back to work and you're not going home! Now, we all agreed to have Friday night dinner, and we're here and I smell dinner. And, yes, apparently there are some issues to be worked out, but no one, and I mean no one is leaving here until we do!
(...)
LORELAI: The Huntzbergers told her she wasn't good enough and Mitchum told her she didn't have it! [Mimicking Richard] He what? [Back to herself] Yes! And now she's dropped out of Yale but between the three of us we can knock some sense into her! [Mimicking Emily] Of course we'll help you! This is not happening! [Richard] I'll call Charlie Davenport tomorrow! [Herself] Thank you, guys, so much! Just thank you! End scene! [She bangs the table impatiently.]
(...)
LORELAI: This is really good sorbet.
EMILY: I know, isn't it? Theresa made it herself.
RORY: Mango?
EMILY: Passion fruit.
LORELAI: Delicious.
RICHARD: It certainly is.
(...)
EMILY: So I lead her over to the good tables, smiling like we're the best friends in the world, and I tell her, 'Shira, you don't think Rory is good enough to be in your family? She is. We are just as good as you are. After all, you are nothing but a two-bit gold digger and how you managed to bag Mitchum I will never know!’
(...)
RICHARD: So, how's Luke?
LORELAI [matter-of-fact]: He has a kid.
(...)
LORELAI: We were sixteen! We didn't want to get married!
EMILY: When you get pregnant, you get married! A child needs a mother and a father!
LORELAI: Oh, my God!
LORELAI: The roses are amazing, Mom.
EMILY: Thank you, Lorelai.
RORY: I like them too, Grandma.
EMILY: Thank you, Rory.
RICHARD: You are an expert flower arranger, Emily. Perhaps you missed your calling.
EMILY: Thank you, Richard.
LORELAI [smiles widely]: Well done, everyone. Well done!
EMILY: Oh, stop it, Lorelai.
LORELAI: What? I'm just commenting on how nice and civil that moment was. Never mind. Go on, go on. This is so cute.
[An awkward pause.]
RORY: The roses are nice, Grandma.
LORELAI: Already covered that, move on!
RICHARD: So, Rory. How are things going at Yale? [He says 'Yale' with a lot of meaning.]
RORY: They're fine.
EMILY: I didn't know we were allowed to talk about Yale.
LORELAI: Mom.
RICHARD: Oh, no. We're allowed to talk about it. We're just not allowed to pay for it.
LORELAI: Dad.
EMILY: I wonder if we're allowed to visit it.
LORELAI: Okay, hold on.
RICHARD: Perhaps if we dress in disguise.
LORELAI: Guys!
EMILY: Plastic nose with glasses attached.
LORELAI: Hey, come on. We were doing so well there for a while. And then you had to start with the Yale.
EMILY: So we can't talk about Yale!
RICHARD: I should make a list. What else am I not allowed to discuss in my house?
LORELAI: No, of course you can talk about Yale. Yale is Dad's Alma Mater and Rory goes there, so we have to talk about it, okay? But maybe not now.
EMILY: Fine.
RICHARD: Fine with me.
LORELAI: Now I know a lot of stuff has happened but we all agreed we were going to put all that behind us and just move on, okay? So let's take a step back and, uh, start again. [She smiles at Emily.] And five, four, three, two - those roses are amazing Mom.
EMILY: Thank you, Lorelai.
LORELAI: That-a-girl.
RICHARD [weary]: Your mother has a way with flowers. Perhaps she missed her calling.
LORELAI: Okay, we don't have to have exactly the same conversation we just had.
Why: Because as you probably realized, I love scenes that break my heart. And Lorelai crying. I'm weird.
LORELAI: Let's elope.
LUKE: [Stunned] What?
LORELAI: Come on, Luke. Grab your keys. Let's go.
LUKE: Elope?
LORELAI: You said that would be fine at Martha's Vineyard. Didn't you say that would be fine at Martha's Vineyard?
LUKE: Yes, I did. I'm just…
LORELAI: Come on, then! Let's go! We can drive to Maryland. What the hell, right? I mean, you have to see Maryland eventually. We can drive there, get married, and then come back here. And you'll get your stuff, and you'll move in.
LUKE: Okay, hold on.
LORELAI: I mean we have the plan already, right? We just have to put the plan in motion.
LUKE: Let's calm down. We don't have to figure all this out now, do we?
LORELAI: Yes, we do, because we've been waiting and putting it off, and I don't want to put it off anymore.
LUKE: But right now?
LORELAI: Yes, now is the right time. It's the best time because it's now!
LUKE: Come on. [Opens the door]
LORELAI: Your car or mine?
LUKE: Lorelai, let's just talk this through.
LORELAI: No I don’t wanna talk, all we've done for months is talk. I want to do. I want to go.
LUKE: We can't just take off and get married.
LORELAI: Why not, Luke? Don't you love me?
LUKE: You know I do.
LORELAI: But I love you, Luke. I love you. But I have waited, and I have stayed away, and I have let you run this thing, and no more. I asked you to marry me, and you said yes.
LUKE: Yeah, I'm just trying to think here.
LORELAI: We fixed up the house, right? We have a bigger closet, and I didn't get the purple wallpaper because you didn't want the purple wallpaper. And if it's between you and the purple wallpaper, I pick you!
LUKE: I didn't tell you not to get the purple wallpaper.
LORELAI: Oh my God you didn't like it.
LUKE: I don't care about wallpaper!
LORELAI: Do you care about me?
LUKE: Yes!
LORELAI: Because I'm going crazy here. I made a commitment to you, and I need to make it happen.
LUKE: It will, it will happen, okay? I just have April to consider.
LORELAI: But once we're married, everything with April will be fine. Anna said so.
LUKE: Anna said so, what does that mean?
LORELAI: When I talked to Anna…
LUKE: When did you talk to Anna?
LORELAI: After the party…
LUKE: I didn’t know you talked to Anna, you weren't supposed to talk to Anna.
LORELAI: I know. I'm sor… God, no! I'm not gonna defend myself! For months now, I've been skulking around not saying anything, not having an opinion, like I'm Clarence Thomas or something, and I… I'm done with that. I-I've been waiting for a long time, and I don't want to wait anymore.
LUKE: I have to think this through.
LORELAI: No!
LUKE: I have April!
LORELAI: You're gonna have to figure out how April fits into our lives, not the other way around.
LUKE: I'm trying.
LORELAI: Well, try married!
LUKE: Just wait!
LORELAI: No! I'm not waiting! It's now or never!
LUKE: I don't like ultimatums!
LORELAI: I don't like Mondays, but unfortunately they come around eventually.
LUKE: I can't just jump like this.
LORELAI: Well, I'm sorry to hear that. [Sniffles] And I have to go.
SEASON SEVEN
Why: After a whole season with them acting OOC and another season of them being apart, on this episode, in this scene, we got Lorelai and Luke back. I can't even put in words how happy I was after watching this. This scene never fails on putting a smile on my face.
LUKE: Oh, for god's sake.
LORELAI: What?
LUKE: You're being ridiculous.
LORELAI: Why?
LUKE: You don't buy a car based on a feeling.
LORELAI: No. You don't buy a car based on a feeling.
LUKE: It's not just me. It's the whole rest of the population.
LORELAI: Really? You took a poll, and you know how everyone else buys their car?
LUKE: I don't have to. I already know what they're gonna say.
LORELAI: Well, I am the person buying the car, and so the only opinion that matters is mine.
LUKE: Oh, that is so like you. I mean this is bathroom tiles all over again.
LORELAI: I was right about the tile.
LUKE: No, you weren't.
LORELAI: The tile was too big for the bathroom.
LUKE: Tiles are not too big for a bathroom. You buy the amount of tiles based on their size that fit into the room you are tiling!
LORELAI: So narrow-minded.
LUKE: That's not narrow-minded. Okay it's sane, and here's a news flash for you, okay? Sports cars don't think they're better than other cars. Okay. Hatchbacks don't have SUV inferiority complexes.
LORELAI: Now who's ridiculous?
LUKE: And sedans aren't afraid to get dirty.
LORELAI: You know what I think it is? That you're hungry.
LUKE: What? No.
LORELAI: Sometimes you get like this when you're hungry.
LUKE: I’m not.
LORELAI: I think I have some cookies in here, some Oreos.
LUKE: I’m not and besides I wouldn't eat anything that came out of that bag.
LORELAI: They're in a wrapper.
LUKE: I can't believe you still haven't cleaned that thing out.
LORELAI: Please.
LUKE: How much time do you lose a day looking through that thing? 5, 10 minutes? Multiply that by a year. I bet you'd gain a month if you just took an hour and cleaned it out, but no -- what?
LORELAI: Nothing.
LUKE: You're smiling.
LORELAI: What? No. You've got low blood sugar.
LUKE: I do not have… okay, are you gonna buy a car or not?
LORELAI: Not.
LUKE: Okay can we get out of here, then?
LORELAI: Gladly.
LUKE: And we're not listening to any of that crap on the radio.
LORELAI: It's not crap.
LUKE: Yeah, it's crap.
LORELAI: It's Air Supply. You know what you need a milkshake.
LUKE: We're not stopping for a milkshake.
LORELAI: Okay let's rock, paper, scissors.
LUKE: No, no, no.
LORELAI: So you forfeit?
LUKE: No, I…
[Opens the truck door for her]
LORELAI: Well, that's how it goes. If you don't play the game, then you forfeit.
LUKE: Let's get you in the car.
[Guides Lorelai in]
LORELAI: That means a giant milkshake for you, my friend.
LUKE: We're not stopping.
LORELAI: Chocolate. That's gonna set you up.
LUKE: We're not stopping. Not gonna happen.
Why: DU-UH.
LORELAI: I hope life treats you kind,
and I hope you have all you dreamed of,
and I wish you joy and happiness,
but above all I wish you love,
and I-I-I will always love you,
I will always love you,
I will always... love you
Why: We didn't get the wedding or the twins. But we got Luke looking out for her and Rory and making her happy, like he always did. And that's perfect for me.
LORELAI: Hey.
LUKE: Hey.
[Both sigh]
LORELAI: Thank you.
LUKE: Oh, it's...no big deal.
LORELAI: Luke.
LUKE: I just... like to see you happy
THE END.
Do not hotlink. Do not repost it. They aren't bases. Don't post on tumblr. I have my own TUMBLR. I'll be posting the pics, if you're interested, follow me.
Comments make me very very very happy. Just sayin'.
I'm going to explain why most of the scenes are on this list. But I don't have an explanation for a few of them. I just love them for some reason. So on to it...
SEASON ONE
Why: This scene is a classic. And I love how it's the 3 of them there, like the family they always were.
LUKE: Coffee. . .fries. I can't stand it. This is so unhealthy. Rory, please, put down that cup of coffee. You do not want to grow up to be like your mom.
RORY: Sorry, too late.
LORELAI: So tell me about the guy.
RORY: Check, please.
LORELAI: No, really, are you embarrassed to bring him home?
RORY: I'm not embarrassed.
LORELAI: Does he talk at all?
RORY: No, Mom, he's a mime.
Why: This was the first scene of the show that I saw. I can still remember how I was zapping channels and I stopped when I saw two girls tilting their heads and talking fast... I was hooked ever since.
RORY: I remember it being smaller.
LORELAI: Yeah. And less. . .
RORY: Off with their heads.
LORELAI: Yeah. *tilts her head and peers up at the building*
RORY: What are you looking at?
LORELAI: I'm just trying to see if there's a hunchback up in that bell tower.
Why: Lorelai/Rory being cute. And the idea of telling Rory's birth story to her every single year is quite endering. I actually tell my sister the story of her birth day every year because of this scene :D
LORELAI: I can't believe how fast you're growing up.
RORY: Really? Feels slow.
LORELAI: Trust me, it's fast. What do you think of your life so far?
RORY: I think it's pretty good.
LORELAI: Any complaints?
RORY: I'd like that whole humidity thing to go away.
LORELAI: All right. I'll work on that.
RORY: So do I look older?
LORELA: Oh, yeah. You walk into Denny's before 5, you've got yourself a discount.
RORY: Good deal.
LORELAI: So you know what I think?
RORY: What?
LORELAI: I think you're a great, cool kid, and the best friend a girl could have.
RORY: Right back at ya.
LORELAI: And it's so hard to believe that at exactly this time many moons ago, I was lying in exactly the same position --
RORY: Oh, boy. Here we go.
Why: 'That Damn Donna Reed' is my Top 2 episode, the amount of L² on this episode is just too awesome. I was like 11/12 when I watched this episode so I can't really recall it, but I'm almost sure I started shipping them after watching this episode. Back when I didn't even knew what shipping meant.
LORELAI: Yeah, it is. But let's not spruce this particular spot.
LUKE: That sounds good.
LORELAI: OK.
*They look at each other then hear voices outside. Luke starts to get up*
LUKE: Oh, jeez --
LORELAI: No, no, don't get up.
LUKE: But if I don't get up --
LORELAI: They'll go away. They'll go away, trust me. Shh.
Why: I love how he looks so cocky when thinking there wasn't any chick lost. LMAO!
LORELAI: Stella! Stella!
LUKE: You really do have a chick loose in here.
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.
RICHARD: [to Rory] Make her stop.
RORY: Oh that I could.
Why: One of the things I like the most about this show is Emily/Lorelai's relationship. They are so damaged and one hurt the other pretty badly. But still, they love each other very deeply. Kelly breaks my heart on this scene; Emily looking around the place and realizing her daughter gave up on everything for that, it must be heartbreaking for a mother.
EMILY: Why is it weird to do something for my granddaughter?
LORELAI: I don't know. I mean, it's not like you bought her a car. By the way, don't. It's a room and . . .you know, you're right. It's nice. I'm sorry. I'm just being silly.
EMILY: Maybe you don't like the fact that now she has a place away from you, some place that's just her own.
LORELAI: I said I was fine.
EMILY: Or maybe its because its so large and spacious and has four solid walls around the bathtub.
LORELAI: What?
EMILY: I mean, it may not be exciting or bohemian, but at least it doesn't have shovels propped up against the sofa either, now does it?
LORELAI: I'm sorry. I missed the checkered flag, when did the argument start?
EMILY: Is it because it's not a shack in the woods? Or is it the proximity to me that's making it so uncomfortable for you?
LORELAI: What are you talking about?
EMILY: You hated us that much?
LORELAI: What?
EMILY: You had to take that little girl away. That was bad enough. But to that? To live there, in a shed, like a hobo?
LORELAI: Who uses the word hobo anymore?
EMILY: I saw it. I saw that horrible little pit you so proudly ran to. I saw what you chose over your own family. You would've lived in the gutter, in the street, it a cardboard box, anywhere as long as you didn't have to be near us, isn't that true?
LORELAI: Mom...
EMILY: Isn't that true Lorelai?
LORELAI: Mom, I was very young and I was very unhappy and I needed to be some place that wasn't here.
EMILY: Excuse me.
Why: From season 1 to season 3 I really liked Dean. He was very boyfriend material and was always so nice to Rory. And he truly loved her. Too bad they had sex and he became a total jerk. But I still like oldschool!Dean. And thsi scene is super cute.
DEAN: I thought you were trying to talk to me.
RORY: Oh.
DEAN: I mean, you came to my house.
RORY: That wasn't me.
DEAN: It was you.
RORY: It must've been someone that looked like me.
DEAN: My sister recognized you from the pictures in my box.
RORY: In what box?
DEAN: The box of stuff I have of us. Pictures and letters and everything from you.
RORY: You have a Rory box?
DEAN: And what was going on at the town meeting, all that stuff about writing a song?
RORY: I don't know what I was talking about.
DEAN: That had nothing to do with me? Well I must have imagined it all then. Your boyfriend's 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.
Why: I guess if I were to actually rank this picspam, this scene would be on my top 10. It's just so beautiful. I've always been a Lorelai/Luke shipper, but Max is just such a great guy. But I guess he wasn't quite ready to enter Lorelai's world, I guess he's way too down to Earth and methodical for them to have worked together. But the proposal was kickass, I mean he's speech was *___* I don't even like daisies, but I would love a proposal like this.
MAX: I couldn't find a horse.
LORELAI: You didn't have to.
MAX: Don't say anything, 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.
LORELAI: Max.
MAX: No, listen, I woke up this morning and I realized that I have studied and talked a great literature all my life and those stories are replete with characters that let opportunities slip by. But what I teach is more than just literature, its lessons in life. And if I don't follow the tenants of those lessons, I'm not the man I thought I was. The man I want to be.
LORELAI: God, you talk so good.
MAX: I don't want an answer now. I've thought about this. I want you to do the same. I love you Lorelai Gilmore. And I know this to be true. I'll talk to you later.
SEASON TWO
SOOKIE: Hi, Mrs. Gilmore? It's Sookie St. James, Lorelai's friend. I don't know if you remember me.
EMILY: Oh yes, you're the chef at the Inn.
SOOKIE: That's right. Listen, I'm sorry to call so late, but I need to ask you a question. I'm planning a surprise wedding shower for Lorelai and Max, and it's gonna be more like a big party actually. But I've cleared the date with everybody around here, so we're all set to go, but I wanted to make sure you guys were gonna be around before I finalized everything. It's going to be Saturday the 21st.
EMILY: I don't know, I'd have to check.
SOOKIE: Okay, Okay. You check, and then you call me at the inn, okay?
EMILY: Yes, I'll get back to you.
SOOKIE: Okay.
[CUT TO RICHARD'S OFFICE]
EMILY: I want you to call Rory tomorrow and apologize.
RICHARD: What?
EMILY: I want you to call her and tell her you're sorry. That you weren't feeling well and you think that Dean is a lovely boy and he's welcome here anytime.
RICHARD: Have you gone insane? Under no circumstance will I ...
EMILY: Our daughter is getting married. She's getting married and she didn't tell us. When Rory decides to get married, I'd like her to tell us. Call her tomorrow.
Why: It's the chuppah. He loves her, she's marrying someone else, and he makes a chuppah for her ♥
LORELAI: What is that?
LUKE: Oh, it's a chuppah.
LORELAI: A what?
LUKE: A chuppah. You stand under it, you and Max. It's for your wedding.
LORELAI: Did you make that?
LUKE: Yeah, I had some time, so…here, give me a hand, huh?
LORELAI: Luke, it's beautiful.
(...)
LUKE: I guess if you can find that one person, you know, who's willing to put up with all your crap, and doesn't want to change you or dress you or you know, make you eat French food, then marriage can be all right. But that's only if you find that person.
LORELAI: Yeah, if you find that person.
[They both get up and stand under the chuppah.]
LORELAI: No one has ever made me a chuppah before.
LUKE: Well, you only get married once. Theoretically.
LORELAI: Yeah, you only get married once.
Why: Because he's her right guy ♥
LUKE: So the participation in this thing was purely for home improvement reasons?
LORELAI: Yes. And I don’t know, it’s a nice concept.
LUKE: What is?
LORELAI: Just having someone who you love or have some kind of crazy crush on bid on your basket and then share a romantic lunch, it’s a nice concept.
LUKE: Well, I’m sure someday you’ll manage to find the right guy and drag him out to this thing and make him by your stupid basket and then you’ll be sitting out here with him.
LORELAI: Yeah, someday.
LUKE: You know what?
LORELAI: What?
LUKE: This is nice.
Why: It's fricken hilarious. And super cute.
MARY: It’s a very quiet street and the owner keeps the building up beautifully. He hasn’t remodeled it at all. Plus, I bet he could be persuaded to give the floor a little spruce if you like.
LORELAI: Oh yeah, we’d like a spruce.
LUKE: A spruce is unnecessary.
LORELAI: Hey, you never turn down a spruce.
MARY: She’s right - listen to her.
LORELAI: Yeah, listen to me.
LUKE: You rarely give me a choice.
LORELAI: Come here so I can lick your face.
LUKE: What?
MARY: Now, I went over the square footage and the details of the lease with your husband this morning. Did he fill you in?
LUKE: What? Oh no, we’re - .
LORELAI: No, no, he didn’t, but you know how men are. The minute that ball game comes on, all the realities of life just go right out the window.
MARY: Don’t I know it.
LORELAI: I mean, I could answer the door wrapped in cellophane but unless I was wearing a Yankees cap. . .ugh, he wouldn’t even notice.
LUKE: Geez.
LORELAI: Oh, don’t be embarrassed Snuffy, I’m just teasing. It’d be a Mets cap.
LUKE: Hey Mary, could you possibly leave me and little missus alone for just a minute?
MARY: Why, of course.
LORELAI: I promise we won’t do anything dirty.
MARY: Oh please, if my husband and I looked anything like the two of you, we’d never get dressed.
LORELAI: Oh, you are bad!
Why: I got so giddy when I watched this. Even Emily knew, back then, that they were meant to be together.
EMILY: I know that in a million years, you would never let me plan your wedding. I gave up on that dream a long time ago. Yours was going to be a Russian winter theme - the Romanovs.
LORELAI: Before the firing squad, I assume?
EMILY: Snow white roses, trees with white lights and candles, snow everywhere, you arriving in a silver sleigh with white horses.
LORELAI: Wow.
EMILY: You hate the idea.
LORELAI: No, no, I just - .
EMILY: You just hate it.
LORELAI: No, it just doesn’t seem like me.
EMILY: Yes, well, it would’ve been beautiful.
LORELAI: I’m sure it would’ve been.
EMILY: Anyhow, it’s obvious that wouldn’t even be appropriate anymore being as I’m probably standing in your reception hall.
LORELAI: Excuse me?
EMILY: Burgers and fries for the dinner? The bride walks down the aisle with a ketchup dispenser in her hand.
LORELAI: Please tell me what you’re talking about.
EMILY: I’m talking about Luke.
LORELAI: Luke? Mom!
EMILY: Well, it’s obvious, Lorelai.
LORELAI: No, it’s not, Mom.
EMILY: You’re with him constantly.
LORELAI: He feeds me.
EMILY: You bring up his name constantly.
LORELAI: Once again, he feeds me.
EMILY: The moment he calls, you run to his side.
LORELAI: He’s my friend, he needed me, I had to be there.
EMILY: Yes, I know you did.
[Luke comes down the stairs and walks over to them]
LUKE: Hi.
EMILY: Hello. I have to go. I’ll see you for dinner tonight, Lorelai. And Luke, I’m sure I’ll see you again soon. What do you think of the Romanovs?
LUKE: They probably had it coming.
EMILY: A match made in heaven.
Why: I love their acting on this scene. And I'm weird, I like couples fighting; it's so much fun... except when it's heartbreaking. But this one was just them bickering. And ya know what people say about bickering cough*foreplay*cough. Oh and I love how he says he cares more about Rory than he cares about himself ♥
LUKE: I have to find out where Jess is.
LORELAI: Well, I’ll tell you where he’s not - he’s not in the emergency room having him arm plastered up!
LUKE: Hey, I am sorry about Rory. You know I care more about her than I do myself, but at least you know where Rory is and at least you know that she’s okay. Now, I have to find Jess and I have to make sure that he’s okay, and if that cuts into your screaming time, well that’s just too damn bad!
LORELAI: Go to hell!
LUKE: Right back at ya!
Why: proud!Emily + proud!Richard + accomplished!Lorelai = ♥
SEASON THREE
Why: For 2 minutes we thought this was for real. And then...The fandom exploded. And 'til the last season we hoped this dream would come true one day. But I guess it did on every JJ shipper mind :D
LUKE: Goodbye crazy lady. [to Lorelai’s stomach] Goodbye Sid and Nancy.
LORELAI: Leopold and Loeb.
LUKE: What?
LORELAI: I changed my mind, don’t tell Rory.
LUKE: Decaf.
LORELAI: Never.
LUKE: They’ll both have two heads.
LORELAI: More to love.
Why: He's her whole package *__*
LORELAI: I always thought if he could just get it together, grow up - maybe we could do it. Maybe we could really be a family, in the stupid, traditional ‘Dan Quayle, golden retriever, grow old together, wear matching jogging suits’ kind of way. And then he did get it together - he became that guy. . . and he gets to be that guy with her. Chris is gonna have a baby with his girlfriend. He’s gonna marry her. . .and he’s gonna be there for her while she’s pregnant and he’s gonna be there with her while her child grows up, and he’s gonna be there for her while she does. . . whatever it is she does. And I am in exactly the same place that I was in before.
LUKE: Is that so bad? I mean, you got Rory.
LORELAI: Yes, I do.
LUKE: You got friends, you got a house, a job, apparently an iron stomach.
LORELAI: No, it’s not so bad. I’m lucky, I know. I just. . .I feel like I’m never gonna have it. . .the whole package, you know? That person, that couple life, and I swear, I hate admitting it because I fancy myself Wonder Woman, but. . .I really want it - the whole package.
[Luke puts a donut on a plate, then slides it down the counter to her]
LUKE: You’ll get it.
LORELAI: How do you know?
LUKE: I know.
LORELAI: How do you know?
LUKE: Because I know, okay? I know. Now eat your donut.
Why: All the three Gilmore Girls go against Christopher. Fucking finally. The heavens sang a "Hallelujah", not even kidding.
RORY: I didn’t call you back because I didn’t want to. Me - Mom had nothing to do with it.
LORELAI: Okay, honey, calm down.
RORY: You promised me. You promised me at Sookie’s wedding that this was going to work, that you were going to be there, you promised me.
CHRISTOPHER: Honey, please understand -
RORY: No, I always understand, and I don’t wanna understand! I don’t even really wanna talk about this right now. I’ve got Mom, that’s all I need. Go be somebody else’s dad!
CHRISTOPHER: Don’t say that.
RORY: I’m going upstairs. Call me when he’s gone.
(...)
CHRISTOPHER: I didn’t want things to turn out this way!
LORELAI: But they did turn out this way!
CHRISTOPHER: But I didn’t want that!
LORELAI: Christopher, is Sherry still pregnant?
CHRISTOPHER: Of course she is.
LORELAI: Are you still with her?
CHRISTOPHER: Yes.
LORELAI: Are you gonna marry her?
CHRISTOPHER: Yes.
LORELAI: Then, honey, we are where we are! Accept it.
CHRISTOPHER: I can’t.
LORELAI: Don’t you understand that I can’t talk to you because it hurts talking to you, really hurts! Standing here right now is killing me, okay? Don’t you understand that?
EMILY: Christopher, I think you’d better go now.
CHRISTOPHER: Emily, I . . .
EMILY: Leave now, please.
LORELAI: I had a dream once that you set eighteen alarm clocks to get me up, which is not a bad way to get me up.
LUKE: Where were we?
LORELAI: We were, um, at my house. I got up, I went downstairs for coffee, and you talked to my stomach.
LUKE: Why on earth I do that?
LORELAI: Well, because I was pregnant. Twins.
LUKE: Mine?
LORELAI: What am I, dream tramp? Of course yours.
LUKE: We were married?
LORELAI: Um, yeah. Did I not mention that?
LUKE: No. You know, you shouldn't drink coffee when you're pregnant.
LORELAI: Uh, true.
LUKE: It's probably why Rory's a caffeine addict.
LORELAI: Right, you're right.
LUKE: Dream go beyond that?
LORELAI: No. Um, you talked to my stomach and then you ki. . .well, no.
LUKE: Oh, okay. Well. . .night.
LORELAI: Yeah, night.
RORY: Jess and Dean got into the fight.
LORELAI: Over you.
RORY: I was a contributing factor.
LORELAI: Was anyone hurt?
RORY: No.
LORELAI: And that's why the cops came and broke up the party?
RORY: Yes.
LORELAI: So not only did you go to a cop-raided party but you started the raid?
RORY: Yes.
LORELAI: This fence is broken because of you, this crap is on the ground because of you.
RORY: What's your point?
LORELAI: [sings] Did you ever know that you're my hero?
RORY: Oh my God!
LORELAI: [sings] You're everything I would like to be. And I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Why: I guess... maybe this is my favorite GG scene. It pretty much sums up the essence of this show. The unconditional love that Rory and Lorelai had towards each other. I was so proud of both of them when I watched this. They are amazing women and role models to so many of us. This scene always makes me cry. Oh hell, even reading the transcript makes me cry. Oh and I also love how Luke was there and crying. To me, he's Rory true dad. period.
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 have been my mentors - so many people who have 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.
SOOKIE: Uh oh.
LORELAI: Hang in there.
RORY: 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.
SOOKIE: Not crying.
LORELAI: Crying a little.
SOOKIE: Crying a little, but not blubbering. That's what we meant when we said no crying, no blubbering.
RORY: Thank you, Mom. You are my guidepost for everything.
SEASON FOUR
LORELAI: We'll be those dirty, filthy, almost-French Stars Hollow girls. [in French accent] Oh, we spit on you, you repressed puritanical ninnies.
RORY: [in French accent] We smirk in your general direction.
LORELAI: [in French accent] We cast sidelong glances that are vague but slightly threatening.
RORY: [in French accent] We eschew your quaint double entendre for the appealing lasciviousness of the entendre singular.
LORELAI: We. . .eh. . .I'm out.
RORY: Me, too. Get the light.
(...)
[they hear a howling sound]
LORELAI: Is that some guy howling?
RORY: I don't know, sounded like it.
[they hear another howl]
LORELAI: Sounds like the guys' floor had some fun tonight, too.
RORY: I'd say so.
[there's another howl; Lorelai responds with a howl]
RORY: Mom!
LORELAI: Well, if no one answers him, he may never stop.
[several guys start howling]
LORELAI: Or it'll get a bunch of other guys howling, one or the other. [howls again]
RORY: Oh, boy.
LORELAI: It's fun.
[Rory howls]
RORY: It is fun.
[they both howl]
LORELAI: What?
RORY: I don't know.
Why: :'(
LORELAI: So, this is really it.
RORY: Yup.
LORELAI: You good?
RORY: I'm good. Just keep your pager with you.
LORELAI: Always.
Why: Bickering + she almost admits it.
LUKE: You know, none of this is any of your business.
LORELAI: It's absolutely my business.
LUKE: How?
LORELAI: Because! I wasted a week of my life adjusting to the idea that you had moved only to find out that you haven't moved.
LUKE: How much adjusting did you have to do? Nothing's changed! I still see you everyday, I still cook your food, I still serve your coffee. What do you care?
LORELAI: I care.
LUKE: Why?
LORELAI: Because I don't want you to move.
LUKE: Why? Why don't you want me to move?
[Lorelai stares at him for a second, but a door opens behind them and Lorelai and Luke lower their heads guiltily. Reverend Skinner walks in.]
REVEREND: Lorelai? Luke? [Sees the tools.] Oh, thank God! Carry on.
Why: He's there for her, once again. I love how she always ends up turning to him; how he's her best friend and how she always describes this perfect guy and this perfect relationship and all the time, it's her conscience describing Luke.
LUKE: [concerned] Everything okay?
LORELAI: What?
LUKE: Are you okay?
LORELAI: Why?
LUKE: Because you don't look okay.
LORELAI: Well, geez, take me now, sailor.
LUKE: I mean, you look distracted.
LORELAI: Distracted, no. Well, maybe -- yeah. Distracted, okay, sure. I'm very distracted.
LUKE: Anything I can do?
LORELAI: You know, there are very few times in my life when I find myself sitting around thinking, "I wish I was married," but today, I mean -- I'm happy. You know? I like my life. I like my friends. I like my stuff. My time, my space, my TV.
LUKE: Yeah, sure.
LORELAI: But every now and then, just for a moment, I wish I had a partner, someone to pick up the slack. Someone to wait for the cable guy, make me coffee in the morning, meet the stupid sink before it gets sent back to Canada. [wanders to nearby bench and sits]
LUKE: What happened? [joins her on bench]
LORELAI: [ Voice breaking ] Um... [ Sniffles ] I just thought I had everything under control, but I didn't, and the inn is just falling apart. This has been my dream forever, and I have it, and it's here, and I'm failing. I can't handle it. I just spend every minute running around and working and thinking. [Luke puts his arm across the back of the bench and listens quietly.] And I thought I would have help, but Sookie has Davey, and Michel has Celine, and I'm -- I can't do it all by myself. [Luke moves closer.] And I don't even have time to see my kid, and hell, forget see her, just even talk to her. And I miss her. And I sat there in my parents' house just listening to my grandmother basically call me a charity case, and I couldn't even argue with her. I couldn't even say anything, because I am. I'm running out of money, and I don't know what to do about it, and I was gonna, I was gonna ask you for $30,000 at dinner tonight. That's how pathetic I am.
LUKE: Thirty thousand dollars. Well, okay, I mean if you --
LORELAI: I don't want to talk about it now. I don't want to think about it. [hiding face, she leans against his chest] I'm failing. [ Sobs ] I'm failing.
[Luke hugs her close, strokes her hair, and gently rubs her arm.]
LUKE: You are not failing.
LORELAI: [muffled] I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
LUKE: [gently] It's okay.
Why: He sees her face ♥
MAN ON CASSETTE: Whose phone calls or visits are never unwanted or too long? Do you see her face? Who would you most like to have in your life to ward off moments of loneliness? Do you see her face? When you travel, who would make your travels more enjoyable? Do you see her face? When you're in pain, who would you most like to comfort you? Do you see her face? When something wonderful happens in your life -- a promotion at work, a successful refinancing -- who do you want to share the news with? Do you see her face? Whose face appears to you, my friend? Whose face?
LUKE: Whoa.
Why: Because it's Lorelai and Luke DANCING. And smiling. And being cute. And finally starting things.
RORY: What's your damage, Heather?
LORELAI: I think I'm dating Luke.
RORY: What?
LORELAI: I'm not sure. It's just a possibility. I could be wrong.
RORY: But how? When?
LORELAI: I went with him to his sister's wedding, and it was really nice. We had a really good time. We laughed a lot, and we ate, and then we danced.
RORY: Danced? How?
LORELAI: We pop-locked.
RORY: Was it a fast dance, slow dance, group dance?
LORELAI: It was a slow dance. What is "group dance?"
RORY: The hustle, the hora.
LORELAI: No hustle, no hora. It was a slow dance -- a waltz. Luke can waltz.
RORY: Luke can waltz?!
LORELAI: Luke can waltz.
RORY: Look how you just said, "Luke can waltz."
LORELAI: What, I'm just saying, I'm surprised that Luke can waltz.
RORY: That sounded more like, "I'm surprised I still have my clothes on."
LORELAI: Oh, stop.
Why: Well, if you need a reason for THIS...
LUKE: Aw, I don't want to calm down! I did everything right! I did exactly what the book said!
LORELAI: The book?!
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 gazes at Lorelai, then moves closer.]
LORELAI: What are you doing?
LUKE: Will you just stand still?
[He gathers her in his arms and they kiss. Lorelai pulls away then moves back closer to Luke.]
LUKE: What are you doing?
LORELAI: Will you just stand still?
SEASON FIVE
Why: He kept the horoscope for 8 years. Eight fucking years. *____*
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: [gasps] Ooh, is it me? Is it me?
LUKE: This person comes tearing into the place in a caffeine frenzy.
LORELAI: [gleeful] 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: [dryly] 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: [grinning] 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 - [pulls a small scrap of paper from his wallet and holds it out to Lorelai] one day it would bring me luck.
LORELAI: [teasing] Well, man, I will say anything for a cup of coffee [unfolds the scrap and reads it with new remembrance] Um...I can't believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet? [sees his serious expression] You kept this in your wallet.
LUKE: Eight years.
LORELAI: [touched] Eight years.
[Luke sighs and returns the precious scrap to his wallet]
LUKE: Lorelai, this thing we're doing here -- me, you -- I just want you to know I'm in. I am all in.
LORELAI: I can't believe you kept that horoscope.
LUKE: You're just lucky I never clean out my wallet.
LORELAI: You can't take it back now. You've exposed yourself. You've been pining for me.
LUKE: [ Chuckles ] I have not been pining.
LORELAI: I'm your Ava Gardner.
LUKE: God help me. [ Sighs ] Okay. Let's get something out of the way right now. [reaches over to the nightstand and picks up a pad of paper and pencil]
LORELAI: What? What are you doing?
LUKE: Tell me what CD's to get so I don't have to hear about it.
LORELAI: Seriously?
LUKE: And skip any '80s groups where the guys dressed up like pirates. I draw the line at pirates.
LORELAI: [kisses his shoulder] This has been a really great first date.
LUKE: It only took us eight years to get here.
Why: I don't actually ship Rory+someone. I liked her with Dean when he wasn't a prick, I liked Jess but I never liked him with Rory and I liked Rory and Logan. Actually, since Rory dropped Yale I never liked her as much as I used to and this saddens me to no end, you have no idea. I mean, I still love Rory to death, but I got really disappointed on her. But back on season 6 when I wanted to slap her, I at least could enjoy her scenes when Logan was around. And this scene is the beginning of everything. And it's awesome.
LOGAN: You trust me?
RORY: You jump, I jump, Jack.
CROWD: In Omnia Paratus!
(...)
LOGAN: You did good, Ace!
RORY: Once in a lifetime experience!
LOGAN: Only if you want it to be.
Why: Emily thinks Hello is a line! kashpofkashpofkashpof
EMILY: You get over here right now!
LORELAI: Who is this?
EMILY: This is you in twenty years! Who is this, I swear!
LORELAI: Mom, calm down.
EMILY: He'll be here in one hour and I have no idea what to wear. You've got
to come right now.
LORELAI: Who'll be there in one hour, Dad?
EMILY: Simon McLane!
LORELAI: Who is Simon McLane?
EMILY: He's my date!
LORELAI: What?!
EMILY: I have no idea what to put on. I'm in a blind panic and it's all your
fault.
LORELAI: How is it my fault?
EMILY: Because I used your line and it worked!
LORELAI: What line?
EMILY: Hello!
LORELAI: Hello is not my line. Hello is not a line. Hello is hello.
EMILY: Well all I know is I hello-d him today and now he's taking me to
dinner.
LORELAI: Mom -
EMILY: If you don't get over here right now I'm going to book a DAR function
at the Dragonfly every single weekend from now until I die!
LORELAI: I'll be right there!
LORELAI: What in the world inspired you to do this?
LUKE: Well, I felt kind of bad about you and snow, the rough time you were
having, and I really wasn’t helping any by saying all that stuff about snow
being a pain and impractical, and it’s just icy water falling from the sky,
and I thought maybe I’d get you two back together. Make you feel better
about snow again.
LORELAI: Oh, yeah?
LUKE: I’m grumpy about stuff but I don’t want you to be.
Why: This scene is another classic. I've always overlooked Emily's misleads because I do think that she always tried to do what she thought was the best for Lorelai and now I can even forgive her for bringing Christopher back into picture, but back then I was really glad Lorelai was done with her.
LORELAI: You and me, we're done.
Why: Because it breaks my heart. Because he went there even though they had broken up, just because she needed him. And 'cause Lauren is a genious.
LORELAI [sighs]: You got my message.
LUKE: Yeah, I was home and I couldn't reach the phone, so I ran over here. I
knocked, there was no answer, so I tried the loose window, but I fixed that
last week, and then I realized I fixed all the stupid ways there were to get
in your house, and I broke the back door lock and I ran inside and you
weren't there.
LORELAI: Oh, my God.
LUKE: It's okay, I can fix it.
LORELAI: I'm so sorry, Luke. I will never do this to you ever again. I am
absolutely humiliated. I was hurting, and I knew if I called you you'd come.
I never should have done that.
LUKE: It's okay.
LORELAI: No, it's not okay. It's not okay. I am not that girl. I am not the
one who cries and falls apart and calls her ex-boyfriend to come and save
her. Thank you so much for coming, and for breaking my door. You're an
amazing guy for doing that. [She hands him the tape.]
LUKE: What's that?
LORELAI: It's the tape from your answering machine.
LUKE: From my answering machine?
LORELAI: The last crazy thing you will ever have to endure from me, I
promise. [Pause.] I just want you to know that I heard you when you said
that you're out. I did. I'm going to respect that from now on.
LUKE: Okay.
LORELAI: You should go. It's cold. I'll be fine.
Why: This kiss is fricken hot! The way he just grabs her and *___*
Why: I love the way she looks at him as he comes up with a plan to get Rory back on track; and how she realizes right there he's the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with. I really don't know what I love the most, her proposing to him or the fact that Luke cares so much about Rory.
LORELAI [quietly]: Rory dropped out of Yale.
LUKE: What?
LORELAI: She dropped out of Yale and she moved in with my parents, who I
went to for help, and they stabbed me in the back. Everything we worked for.
All these years. Her whole future. She was supposed to have more than me.
She was supposed to have everything. That was the plan. We had a plan.
LUKE: Okay, I’m sorry. I have to jump in here. Uh, I know you think you have
this thing handled, but I can help. First off, we call Yale and we tell them
something like, uh, Rory had a chemical imbalance and she was mentally out
of her mind when she told them she was dropping out. And then we get her out
of your parents house whatever way we can. We lock her up in her room with
you, because you can talk anybody into anything. And if worse comes to
worst, we will drive her to school every day and we will follow her to class
and camp out there to make sure she goes. I’ll take morning classes, you
take afternoon classes, or the other way around, if it works out better for
your schedule. And I know there’s a few kinks to work out, the kidnapping
thing might be a little problematic but either way, she is not quitting
school. This was her dream. I am not going to let this happen.
[He takes a deep breath. Lorelai is gazing at him.]
LUKE: What?
LORELAI: Luke, will you marry me?
LUKE: What?
SEASON SIX
Why: H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S.
RORY: Sorry I'm late.
PSYCHOLOGIST: Well, considering how many times you rescheduled, I'm just happy you're here at all.
RORY: I was just spending some time with my mother. You know. We were apart for a while.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You were?
RORY: Yeah.
PSYCHOLOGIST: Falling out?
RORY: Nothing major, just mother-daughter stuff. [The psychologist nods.] I don't have to lie down, do I?
PSYCHOLOGIST: No, that's not a lying down couch.
RORY: Good. [She sits.]
PSYCHOLOGIST: So, did this falling out have anything to do with your dropping out of school?
RORY: Boy, we just jumped into this, didn't we?
PSYCHOLOGIST: You want to talk about something else first?
RORY: No.
PSYCHOLOGIST: I mean, we're here to talk about your leaving school, so I figured let's just start there. What happened?
RORY: Nothing. We fought. Uh, I'm fine. We're fine.
PSYCHOLOGIST: I hear you had some legal problems.
RORY: My, those are some big ears you have there, Grandma.
PSYCHOLOGIST: Stealing a boat is a pretty big deal.
RORY: I was upset.
PSYCHOLOGIST: About what?
RORY: About life, and things and - stuff.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You spent a night in jail?
RORY: Yes, I did.
PSYCHOLOGIST: How did that feel?
RORY [pauses]: Great.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You don't want to talk about this either?
RORY: I'm just, I'm sick of talking about it, that's all.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You seem very agitated.
RORY: I'm not agitated. I - so I spent a night in jail. Big deal. So did Martin Luther King!
PSYCHOLOGIST: Are you comparing yourself with Martin Luther King?
RORY: No, I'm not. I just, I'm saying that he spent a night in jail too.
PSYCHOLOGIST: You were arrested with your boyfriend?
RORY: Yes, I was.
PSYCHOLOGIST: Tell me about that.
RORY: About what? He was my boyfriend then and now he's not.
PSYCHOLOGIST: He's not.
RORY: No, he's not. We broke up. Oh, no, I'm sorry. He broke up. I thought that we were just taking some time, but apparently I'm a moron!
PSYCHOLOGIST: Does this Logan -
RORY: Wha - you have his name, too? Super! Do you also have the picture of him hijacking me in my hallway earlier today?
PSYCHOLOGIST: I'm sorry, what?
RORY: I mean, how fair is that? He's gone, and then he shows up out of the blue, "You can't live here! This place is a dump! And by the way, I love you!" I love you? Is he serious?
PSYCHOLOGIST: I don't know.
RORY [emotionally]: Nothing for weeks, and then he just decides that he loves me? So what happens now? I get another Birkin bag? And how long until he doesn't love me again, huh? [The psychologist holds out a box of tissues. She snatches it from him.] I stole a boat with him! I never stole a boat with Dean!
PSYCHOLOGIST: Who's Dean?
RORY [crying]: My married ex-boyfriend who I lost my virginity to!
PSYCHOLOGIST: Wow.
RORY: Yeah, I'm a treat! I don't know what I'm going to do! I don't think I can take running into him every day in the halls, and in the paper, and the coffee cart! Oh my God! I'm going to have to quit drinking coffee! And I love coffee!
[She weeps openly. The psychologist raises his eyebrows and writes something down.]
RORY [waving around a handful of tissues]: I really love coffee!
Why: I kinda have a love/hate thin gwith this scene. I hate how she shows him the dress, because I'm supertitious and I'll forever blame this scene for making us never have an actual wedding. But that's being silly. And I absolutely love the way he looks at her, completely mesmerized, and in love. Even though this dress is just UGH.
LORELAI [OS]: I will come down, but I'm coming down in my wedding dress!
LUKE: What? No!
LORELAI: Yes!
LUKE: It's bad luck for me to see the wedding dress.
LORELAI: I know, but I need you to see this dress. There's something not right up here. It was too easy. I can't be objective anymore.
LUKE: But -
LORELAI: I'm coming down!
LUKE: I don't -
[Lorelai comes down in the dress and veil.]
LORELAI: Well?
LUKE [stunned]: It's - you're perfect.
LORELAI: Really? Have you seen the back? I think the train's a little weird,
and I can still take it back if you don't think -
LUKE: It's perfect.
LORELAI: Are you sure?
[Luke kisses her. She smiles.]
LORELAI: Okay. It's not bad luck if it's under five minutes. [She runs back upstairs. Luke watches her, then sighs.]
Why: TOP 2 SCENE!!!!! The dialogue, the cameras, the fights, the jokes, more fights, it's *__________* Friday Night Dinners have always been one of my favorite things about GG. Oh and it's hilarious how Lorelai and Emily always go back to the fact Lorelai didn't marry Christopher.
LORELAI: Hey! [They stop walking.] This is not going to happen! You're not going back to your moonscape, you're not going back to work and you're not going home! Now, we all agreed to have Friday night dinner, and we're here and I smell dinner. And, yes, apparently there are some issues to be worked out, but no one, and I mean no one is leaving here until we do!
(...)
LORELAI: The Huntzbergers told her she wasn't good enough and Mitchum told her she didn't have it! [Mimicking Richard] He what? [Back to herself] Yes! And now she's dropped out of Yale but between the three of us we can knock some sense into her! [Mimicking Emily] Of course we'll help you! This is not happening! [Richard] I'll call Charlie Davenport tomorrow! [Herself] Thank you, guys, so much! Just thank you! End scene! [She bangs the table impatiently.]
(...)
LORELAI: This is really good sorbet.
EMILY: I know, isn't it? Theresa made it herself.
RORY: Mango?
EMILY: Passion fruit.
LORELAI: Delicious.
RICHARD: It certainly is.
(...)
EMILY: So I lead her over to the good tables, smiling like we're the best friends in the world, and I tell her, 'Shira, you don't think Rory is good enough to be in your family? She is. We are just as good as you are. After all, you are nothing but a two-bit gold digger and how you managed to bag Mitchum I will never know!’
(...)
RICHARD: So, how's Luke?
LORELAI [matter-of-fact]: He has a kid.
(...)
LORELAI: We were sixteen! We didn't want to get married!
EMILY: When you get pregnant, you get married! A child needs a mother and a father!
LORELAI: Oh, my God!
LORELAI: The roses are amazing, Mom.
EMILY: Thank you, Lorelai.
RORY: I like them too, Grandma.
EMILY: Thank you, Rory.
RICHARD: You are an expert flower arranger, Emily. Perhaps you missed your calling.
EMILY: Thank you, Richard.
LORELAI [smiles widely]: Well done, everyone. Well done!
EMILY: Oh, stop it, Lorelai.
LORELAI: What? I'm just commenting on how nice and civil that moment was. Never mind. Go on, go on. This is so cute.
[An awkward pause.]
RORY: The roses are nice, Grandma.
LORELAI: Already covered that, move on!
RICHARD: So, Rory. How are things going at Yale? [He says 'Yale' with a lot of meaning.]
RORY: They're fine.
EMILY: I didn't know we were allowed to talk about Yale.
LORELAI: Mom.
RICHARD: Oh, no. We're allowed to talk about it. We're just not allowed to pay for it.
LORELAI: Dad.
EMILY: I wonder if we're allowed to visit it.
LORELAI: Okay, hold on.
RICHARD: Perhaps if we dress in disguise.
LORELAI: Guys!
EMILY: Plastic nose with glasses attached.
LORELAI: Hey, come on. We were doing so well there for a while. And then you had to start with the Yale.
EMILY: So we can't talk about Yale!
RICHARD: I should make a list. What else am I not allowed to discuss in my house?
LORELAI: No, of course you can talk about Yale. Yale is Dad's Alma Mater and Rory goes there, so we have to talk about it, okay? But maybe not now.
EMILY: Fine.
RICHARD: Fine with me.
LORELAI: Now I know a lot of stuff has happened but we all agreed we were going to put all that behind us and just move on, okay? So let's take a step back and, uh, start again. [She smiles at Emily.] And five, four, three, two - those roses are amazing Mom.
EMILY: Thank you, Lorelai.
LORELAI: That-a-girl.
RICHARD [weary]: Your mother has a way with flowers. Perhaps she missed her calling.
LORELAI: Okay, we don't have to have exactly the same conversation we just had.
Why: Because as you probably realized, I love scenes that break my heart. And Lorelai crying. I'm weird.
LORELAI: Let's elope.
LUKE: [Stunned] What?
LORELAI: Come on, Luke. Grab your keys. Let's go.
LUKE: Elope?
LORELAI: You said that would be fine at Martha's Vineyard. Didn't you say that would be fine at Martha's Vineyard?
LUKE: Yes, I did. I'm just…
LORELAI: Come on, then! Let's go! We can drive to Maryland. What the hell, right? I mean, you have to see Maryland eventually. We can drive there, get married, and then come back here. And you'll get your stuff, and you'll move in.
LUKE: Okay, hold on.
LORELAI: I mean we have the plan already, right? We just have to put the plan in motion.
LUKE: Let's calm down. We don't have to figure all this out now, do we?
LORELAI: Yes, we do, because we've been waiting and putting it off, and I don't want to put it off anymore.
LUKE: But right now?
LORELAI: Yes, now is the right time. It's the best time because it's now!
LUKE: Come on. [Opens the door]
LORELAI: Your car or mine?
LUKE: Lorelai, let's just talk this through.
LORELAI: No I don’t wanna talk, all we've done for months is talk. I want to do. I want to go.
LUKE: We can't just take off and get married.
LORELAI: Why not, Luke? Don't you love me?
LUKE: You know I do.
LORELAI: But I love you, Luke. I love you. But I have waited, and I have stayed away, and I have let you run this thing, and no more. I asked you to marry me, and you said yes.
LUKE: Yeah, I'm just trying to think here.
LORELAI: We fixed up the house, right? We have a bigger closet, and I didn't get the purple wallpaper because you didn't want the purple wallpaper. And if it's between you and the purple wallpaper, I pick you!
LUKE: I didn't tell you not to get the purple wallpaper.
LORELAI: Oh my God you didn't like it.
LUKE: I don't care about wallpaper!
LORELAI: Do you care about me?
LUKE: Yes!
LORELAI: Because I'm going crazy here. I made a commitment to you, and I need to make it happen.
LUKE: It will, it will happen, okay? I just have April to consider.
LORELAI: But once we're married, everything with April will be fine. Anna said so.
LUKE: Anna said so, what does that mean?
LORELAI: When I talked to Anna…
LUKE: When did you talk to Anna?
LORELAI: After the party…
LUKE: I didn’t know you talked to Anna, you weren't supposed to talk to Anna.
LORELAI: I know. I'm sor… God, no! I'm not gonna defend myself! For months now, I've been skulking around not saying anything, not having an opinion, like I'm Clarence Thomas or something, and I… I'm done with that. I-I've been waiting for a long time, and I don't want to wait anymore.
LUKE: I have to think this through.
LORELAI: No!
LUKE: I have April!
LORELAI: You're gonna have to figure out how April fits into our lives, not the other way around.
LUKE: I'm trying.
LORELAI: Well, try married!
LUKE: Just wait!
LORELAI: No! I'm not waiting! It's now or never!
LUKE: I don't like ultimatums!
LORELAI: I don't like Mondays, but unfortunately they come around eventually.
LUKE: I can't just jump like this.
LORELAI: Well, I'm sorry to hear that. [Sniffles] And I have to go.
SEASON SEVEN
Why: After a whole season with them acting OOC and another season of them being apart, on this episode, in this scene, we got Lorelai and Luke back. I can't even put in words how happy I was after watching this. This scene never fails on putting a smile on my face.
LUKE: Oh, for god's sake.
LORELAI: What?
LUKE: You're being ridiculous.
LORELAI: Why?
LUKE: You don't buy a car based on a feeling.
LORELAI: No. You don't buy a car based on a feeling.
LUKE: It's not just me. It's the whole rest of the population.
LORELAI: Really? You took a poll, and you know how everyone else buys their car?
LUKE: I don't have to. I already know what they're gonna say.
LORELAI: Well, I am the person buying the car, and so the only opinion that matters is mine.
LUKE: Oh, that is so like you. I mean this is bathroom tiles all over again.
LORELAI: I was right about the tile.
LUKE: No, you weren't.
LORELAI: The tile was too big for the bathroom.
LUKE: Tiles are not too big for a bathroom. You buy the amount of tiles based on their size that fit into the room you are tiling!
LORELAI: So narrow-minded.
LUKE: That's not narrow-minded. Okay it's sane, and here's a news flash for you, okay? Sports cars don't think they're better than other cars. Okay. Hatchbacks don't have SUV inferiority complexes.
LORELAI: Now who's ridiculous?
LUKE: And sedans aren't afraid to get dirty.
LORELAI: You know what I think it is? That you're hungry.
LUKE: What? No.
LORELAI: Sometimes you get like this when you're hungry.
LUKE: I’m not.
LORELAI: I think I have some cookies in here, some Oreos.
LUKE: I’m not and besides I wouldn't eat anything that came out of that bag.
LORELAI: They're in a wrapper.
LUKE: I can't believe you still haven't cleaned that thing out.
LORELAI: Please.
LUKE: How much time do you lose a day looking through that thing? 5, 10 minutes? Multiply that by a year. I bet you'd gain a month if you just took an hour and cleaned it out, but no -- what?
LORELAI: Nothing.
LUKE: You're smiling.
LORELAI: What? No. You've got low blood sugar.
LUKE: I do not have… okay, are you gonna buy a car or not?
LORELAI: Not.
LUKE: Okay can we get out of here, then?
LORELAI: Gladly.
LUKE: And we're not listening to any of that crap on the radio.
LORELAI: It's not crap.
LUKE: Yeah, it's crap.
LORELAI: It's Air Supply. You know what you need a milkshake.
LUKE: We're not stopping for a milkshake.
LORELAI: Okay let's rock, paper, scissors.
LUKE: No, no, no.
LORELAI: So you forfeit?
LUKE: No, I…
[Opens the truck door for her]
LORELAI: Well, that's how it goes. If you don't play the game, then you forfeit.
LUKE: Let's get you in the car.
[Guides Lorelai in]
LORELAI: That means a giant milkshake for you, my friend.
LUKE: We're not stopping.
LORELAI: Chocolate. That's gonna set you up.
LUKE: We're not stopping. Not gonna happen.
Why: DU-UH.
LORELAI: I hope life treats you kind,
and I hope you have all you dreamed of,
and I wish you joy and happiness,
but above all I wish you love,
and I-I-I will always love you,
I will always love you,
I will always... love you
Why: We didn't get the wedding or the twins. But we got Luke looking out for her and Rory and making her happy, like he always did. And that's perfect for me.
LORELAI: Hey.
LUKE: Hey.
[Both sigh]
LORELAI: Thank you.
LUKE: Oh, it's...no big deal.
LORELAI: Luke.
LUKE: I just... like to see you happy
