Many people accidentally drink too much coffee and start talking too fast. Their heart races and they promise that they'll stick to one or two cups from now on. On Gilmore Girls, Lorelai consumes too much caffeine on a daily basis and it's totally her choice. Thanks to her constant coffee-high, Lorelai is a fast-talking, bubbly woman who spouts monologues on a frequent basis.
Over the course of seven seasons, Lorelai feels a lot of things, whether dealing with her up-and-down love life, her relationship with her daughter Rory, or her career dreams. She delivers many great quotes that give fans all the feels, whether she's making a joke to hide her true feelings or she has some genuinely good advice.
10 "This is it. She can finally go to Harvard like she's always wanted..."
...and get the education that I never got and get to do all the things that I never got to do and then I can resent her for it and we can finally have a normal mother-daughter relationship.
Lorelai dreams of Rory attending the elite private school Chilton, the setting for many crazy moments.
In the pilot episode, Lorelai says that she's so excited for her daughter to finally have this great opportunity, and she's definitely feeling many different emotions. This is one of her most emotional quotes as she has been working so hard for this moment and it means so much to her that she can offer her daughter a better education. Of course, Lorelai has her special type of humor, and she finishes the quote with a joke about how she and Rory are more friends than normal mother and daughter.
9 “It's all any of us wants, to find a nice person to hang out with until we drop dead. Not a lot to ask!”
While some pairs on Gilmore Girls work out better than others, Lorelai has always had eyes for diner owner Luke Danes. It just takes her a while to realize it.
This is another one of Lorelai's best quotes, and while it's not quite as emotional as some others, it's still easy to see the passion behind it. She's fed up with being single and all of the tough parts of dating, and she doesn't know why it's so tough to find that one special person. Lorelai has been through the wringer as she has ended her engagement to Max, struggled to figure out how she feels about Rory's dad, Christopher, and dated a few other guys along the way. Chances are that many Gilmore Girls fans find this quote to be very relatable.
8 "My life stinks. Hey, let's look into each other's eyes and say 'I wish I were you' at exactly the same time — maybe we'll pull a Freaky Friday."
With her trademark clever sense of humor, Lorelai says something super emotional while still making a joke. She can't help but make people smile, even when she's feeling down.
Most people would say "my life stinks" and then start complaining about all the things that are going wrong, from tiny annoyances like getting stuck in traffic and spilling coffee to bigger problems. Not Lorelai, though. She jokes about a Freaky Friday situation and this is one example of why she has so many fans. While Lorelai is admitting that she's having a tough time, she's still in a good enough mood to make a funny joke.
7 "That Lothario over there has wormed his way into my daughter's heart — and mouth — and for that, he must die!"
Lorelai says this to Luke in the season 1 episode "Kiss and Tell" as she's really upset about Rory and Dean's blossoming relationship.
While Lorelai wants her daughter to be happy and wouldn't stop her from dating someone, she can't believe that Rory is ignoring her. This is the first sign of trouble in Gilmore Girls paradise and it makes Lorelai very nervous. While Lorelai is sad about this change in their mother-daughter bond, she knows she'll feel better once Rory talks to her.
6 "Give me a burger, onion rings, and a list of people who killed their parents and got away with it. I need some heroes."
Fans can tune into these episodes featuring Lorelai and her mother to see the complicated connection they have.
This quote is a perfect example. Lorelai says this to Luke as she's mad at her parents for what is probably the thousandth time in the series. She can never truly understand her parents' actions and they feel the same way about her. While Lorelai is trying to mask her pain with humor, she's still livid that after all this time, her mom and dad still don't get her as a person.
5 "We were gonna go to Atlantic City. We were going to sit at a Blackjack table at 11:59 and order martinis..."
We were gonna play 21 when she turned 21. Then were were going to buy 21 things. And there's a thing about 21 guys that wouldn't be appropriate since the engagement, but it was a good plan.
Lorelai says this quote in the season 6 episode "Twenty-One Is the Loneliest Number" and it's one of the most emotional things she has ever said because she's remembering the plans that she and Rory had for her 21st birthday.
Instead of celebrating in a grand and exciting way, Lorelai knows that nothing like that will happen, as she and Rory are in a big fight. Ever since Rory stole a yacht and left Yale, she and Lorelai are ignoring each other as they can't come to an agreement, and it's tearing Lorelai up.
4 "Wait, wait. Look around for a second. Notice? It's not so scary anymore."
Before Rory has a hard time at Yale, she attends Chilton, which is enough to intimidate even the most brilliant students.
Lorelai says this emotional quote at the end of the third season. Rory has graduated from her private high school and Lorelai says that while they were totally freaked out by this place at the beginning, now it's just a building and it's really no big deal. This is one of the most emotional moments between the popular mother and daughter as so much is wrapped up in Lorelai's words. Rory realizes that she has been on a long and hard journey, but now she's arrived at her future, and it's all going to happen for her.
3 "I have to make her understand that I'm okay with the guy thing. 'Cause not talking about guys and our personal lives — that's me and my mom. That is not me and Rory."
There are many episodes for fans who ship Dean and Rory, and it's a big deal when Rory gets her first-ever boyfriend... for both mother and daughter.
Lorelai is talking to Luke about how she can't imagine a world where Rory hides her love life from her. She says that this is the way that she has always been with her own mother, Emily, and she doesn't want that to continue. This is a great quote as Lorelai is pouring out her heart but also proving that she's self-aware enough to notice familial patterns. It really hurts Lorelai's feelings when Dean kisses Rory and Rory won't talk to Lorelai about it.
2 "Well, how will people know you're the world's greatest reporter?"
In the series finale (before the Netflix revival, that is), Lorelai says that she got Rory a hat and mug that says "World's Greatest Reporter." Lorelai asks her daughter how people will be able to tell that she's so good at her job if she doesn't announce it with her clothing and accessories. Rory says, "I don't know," and Lorelai replies, "I guess they'll just have to read your stuff."
Rory isn't a perfect reporter but her mom is still so proud of her, especially at the end of season 7. Rory is leaving Stars Hollow to write about Obama's political campaign, and Lorelai is feeling a lot of excitement yet a bit of sadness about the future. It's finally time to let her daughter go.
1 "I'm beyond coffee... I'm fueled by my righteous indignation."
In the sixth season episode "Welcome to the Dollhouse," Luke asks if Lorelai wants a cup of her favorite drink, and this is her response." When Luke says, "Beyond coffee. This is big," Lorelai shares that she's got "righteous indignation."
Lorelai has many coffee quotes throughout the series and this is definitely her most emotional. She shares that she can't even drink coffee because she's so upset and angry, and as Luke says, this isn't something that anyone would expect to hear from her. The fact that Lorelai can still surprise people is why she's remained so beloved after all these years.
