I think we can all agree that after a 10-year absence, we welcomed our favorite mother-daughter duo back with open arms (and refused to let go after Rory’s final words - which by the way if you still haven’t seen GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER IT’S BEEN OVER TWO MONTHS). There’s something comforting about that opening melody that makes the audience feel right at home. I, myself, may or may not have started crying a little when that beautiful song reappeared in the revival last November. It’s like visiting Mother’s house and tasting her heavenly hot chocolate after not having tasted it for 10 years. Indescribable.
As I reflect on the original series and how everything - including on and off camera circumstances - affected the revival, I recall several quotes that inspired me to live the life I live today. These quotes have all either made me laugh, given me a secret insider with other GG fans, or have allowed me to take another look at my life in order to improve it. Amy Sherman-Palladino did a brilliant job in carefully crafting every word said to fit that character’s persona in order for the line to resonate with viewers. These are only a few, as I’m sure you wouldn’t want to read over 10,000 pages worth of quotes. (disclaimer for hardcore fans- images may not directly match to quote)
“Nothing say coffee like six in the morning.” -Lorelei
Got that right! *Walks around like zombie...
“People are particularly stupid today and I can’t talk to any more of them.” -Michel
If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
“People can live a hundred years without really living for a minute.” -Logan
When was the last time you tried something so daring, so anti-yourself that it opened up your eyes to what you were missing? Are you living life or just watching it happen?
“You jump I jump, Jack.” -Rory
To find someone you just met and have so much faith in them and are willing to put your life on the line - that’s love. Or completely idiotic.
“That makes me so mad. And sad. I’m smad.” -Sookie
And a little loopy.
“Okay, no wait I thought of some: jerk, ass, arrogant, inconsiderate, mindless, frat-boy, lowlife, butt-faced miscreant.” -Rory
You tell 'em. Just throw all of them in there. Like an insult omelet.
“You have to sleep; it’s what keeps you pretty.” -Lorelei
Nothing else matters if you’re not pretty.
“Mom, you’ve given me everything I need.” -Rory
At the end of the day, it is vital to always give extra thanks to those that have stuck with you through the good and bad times and never let you fail. They are the Lorelei to your Rory. Don’t let them go. “Gilmore Girl” isn’t as catchy of a title.
It is silly to claim that a silly television show has had such an impact on one’s life, however, I know I am not alone. It’s helped me understand the mindset of a completely dedicated mother whom gave everything up to make her own name in the world and give her daughter even more. It didn’t seem like that big a deal back when I was 10, but it means everything now. I can’t wait to be the Lorelei Gilmore to my future her daughter (and to her misunderstood best friend).
