As if the original series could not have gotten any better, writer and director Amy Sherman-Palladino out did herself when it came to the making of the new Gilmore Girls revival series. Four new 90 minute episodes were released via Netflix for us long-awaiting fans to drool over...so can we obsess over it already? We all know witty banter is a Gilmore Girls identity, so here are my top 25 quotes of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life:
WINTER:
1. "Wow Winded!"
"Haven't done that in a while"
"Felt Good."
Rory and Lorelai after a long-awaited reunion.
2."I've missed you kid." -Lorelai
3. "There is a debate going on about whether or not to take the phone booth out."
"Well where would Superman go to change when he comes to save our town from Ben Afflack."
"I made the same, excellent, point."
Our Gilmore Girl's back at it.
4. "...I've started a new business. It's a ride-share business. I call it Ooober." -Kirk explaining his "three O's not U" business.
5. "Did I tell you I attacked Gail Collins?" -Rory
6.“You know, some people might say drinking coffee in the middle of the night could hinder your sleep.”
“People are dumb.”
Yes they are Lorelai, yes they are.
7.“Don’t stand there shaking. Just go. Apologize to your parents, and tell them you’ll pay them back for the two semesters you spent studying Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s effect on the feminist agenda!” -Paris yelling down to her Smith graduate employee. My, she has a way with words.
8.“So, Luke. How are the boys? I’m pretty good at visually sussing out the situation down there.” -Paris
9. "If I get a terminal disease I want to move to Washington to die. They let you do that there."-Emily
SPRING:
10. "Hanging out is not permanent. Marriage is permanent."
"Marriage is permanent? Uh, Liz Taylor just rose from the grave to say, 'Whaat?'"
Emily and Lorelai in one of their comedic gold therapy sessions. Seriously, putting these two in a room to express their every feeling was just brilliant.
11. "We lent them our riding mowers one year, why can't they lend us their gays?"
"Tell that to Hank in Woodbury"
Stars Hollow didn't have enough gays this year to have their gay pride parade...Poor Taylor.
12. "They can't get out of it?"
"Nope not for another 6 million years."
"Well, at least it has a cut off date."
Luke and Lorelai discussing the typical Liz and TJ who just joined a cult with a rather long cut off date.
13. “It’s kill or be killed. I’m not talking about The Art of War. No, that’s a tiptoe through the tulips compared to what you’ll find beyond these walls. Betrayal, deception… and that’s just in the bedroom!”-Paris
...just typical Paris with one of her "motivating" speeches
14. "I just slept with a Wookie!" -Rory
15.“You will be so kind as to let RZA and Busta Rhymes know that they’re not allowed to rap anymore?”
“How does he know those names?”
Trust me Gypsy, we were all stunned Taylor knew these two.
16. "We have a baby on the way."
"You do?"
"Yeah, I think Fredrick ordered one, I'll have to check."
Micheal?? Kids?? What??
FALL:
18."And finally I got up enough courage to look up at him, and he was standing there with with a pretzel. A giant pretzel covered in mustard."-Lorelai's emotional memory about her late father that had us mopping the puddle of tears off the floor.
19."I can't spend any more time and energy on artifice and bulls**t."-Emily (can we say) finally quitting the DAR.
20. "AHH," *icing shoots out of a tube* "wow that was pornographic" -Sookie
21."This right here is all I will ever need. I never imagined that in my wildest dreams that it would happen, that you and me, that we would happen. But we did."-Luke's I'm all in (again) speech to Lorelai..AH
22. "“Before this thing goes on, you gotta realise: the only way out is in a body bag.”
“And now we don’t have to write our vows.”
YES just YES
23."Drop the 'The.' It's simpler." -Lorelai on Rory's book titled The (now dropped) Gilmore Girls.
24. "It was in the cards. Lorelai and you. From the first moment I saw you two together, there was no getting between you guys."-Christopher's reflection on Lorelai and his daughter.
25.And of course.."Mom?"
"Yeah"
...."I'm pregnant."
THOSE FINAL FOUR WORDS THO.
