The 18 best quotes from the Gilmore Girls revival
Gilmore Girls is back, and so are the zingy lines that made us all obsessed with it. Sixteen years after the first episode aired, and Lorelai and Rory Gilmore stole our hearts (and made us all crave coffee, pizza and I Love Lucy re-runs like nobody's business), we have four more episodes to look forward to in the shape of the Gilmore Girls revival, A Year In The Life.
You can watch all the old and new episodes now, and we've rounded up the best quotes from the new series – Emily Gilmore has the best zingers, natch, and then take a tour of the real Gilmore Girls house in Stars Hollow
“Wow. Winded!”
“Haven’t done that for a while.”
“Felt good.”Lorelai and Rory (and us) get back into the swing of the fast pace of Gilmore-speak.
“Grandma, it’s so good to see you! How are you?”
“Well… I am a Gilmore.”Emily Gilmore, the woman, the legend.
“He’s like a superhero, but his power is that you can’t remember him no matter how much time you spend with him. Kind of like every Marvel movie ever.”
Lorelai says the truth about Rory's barely-there boyfriend Paul (but is so wrong! Think of the Captain America films, people!)
**“Explain to me again who that person is.”
“Oh, that I could.”**
Lorelai thinks about trying to explain the concept of Kirk to Emily, and rightly gives up.
"Your father was a great man, a pillar of the community, a man amongst men. And you dishonoured him today like this in his own house."
Lorelai really, really messed up at her father's funeral. The fight between her and her mother four months later just goes to show that she's learned absolutely sod all over the past 16 years.
“Everything in my life has something to do with coffee. I believe in a former life, I was coffee.”
Lorelai says what we've all been thinking for the past 16 years.
“Hey yo look, I’m rapping!/Just like Hamilton!”
The Stars Hollow musical took us on a seriously un-serious tangent, and it was pure joy. THOSE LYRICS!
“There just aren’t enough gays in Stars Hollow!”
“How is that possible?”
“We have such cute houses.”
“And antique shops!”Taylor explains the cancellation of a planned Pride parade in the town to a stunned gathering.
“This adult stuff is hard, isn’t it?”
Lane has some great moments in A Year In The Life (but we needed more! More friendship!). It's brilliant to see Hep Alien jamming again, and she and Zach soundtracking Stars Hollow's secret bar, as well as looking after their twins, Steve and Kwan. And still she manages to find just the right thing to say to Rory after she breaks off her affair with Logan (seriously, Rory, stop having affairs with people who are about to get hitched.)
“What are you doing?”
“Organising my magazines by Kardashian.”Surely Luke knows this is how Lorelai files her magazines by now!
"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. Listen, I know I'm not the easiest guy in the world to build a life with, and to share a house with, but there is no one who will be more here for you than me. I will never leave. I will never think about leaving. I will do whatever it takes to fix what's wrong."
Oh LUKE!
**“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.”**
Luke and Lorelai get serious while Luke slips an engagement ring on her finger (YES!)
Luke: "What was that all about?"
Jess: "Oh, just a thing between us."
Luke: "Between you?"
Jess: "A work thing between us."
Luke: "A work thing, huh? So then you're over that, right?"
Jess: "Yup, long over."That being Rory. And judging by the lingering look Jess has after her through her window, it's not really long over.
"You're still a contender."
Rory is seriously struggling in A Year in the Life. She's not a great freelance journalist, her planned book with Naomi Shropshire fell apart, and she gave up her home to flit between London and her mother's house.
Leave it to Jess to give her the short, sharp, boost she needs.
“I can’t spend any more time and energy on artifice and bullshit.”
Emily, you absolute bad ass. THIS is how to deal with the D.A.R. True fact: all the best Gilmore Girls gifs involve Emily being monumentally shady in some way or other. Bring on more Emily Gilmore attitude.
The quizzically confused expressions of three people who are possibly being confronted by one of Kurt and Miss Patty's recitals.
"I wanna remember it all. Every detail."
Rory's preparation for leaving Stars Hollow for good. And ours! We're not ready!
Rory: "Mom"
Lorelai: "Yeah?"
Rory: "I'm pregnant."OH. MY. GOOD. LORD.
