Gilmore Girls Season 1 Episode 9: "Rory's Dance" Quotes
Lorelai: What were you thinking? Staying out all night? Are you CRAZY?
Rory: I'm sorry. It was an accident.
Lorelai: You're talking to the queen of staying out all night, okay? I invented the concept, you cannot do this. Period!
Rory: Nothing happened! We fell asleep!
Emily: If she doesn't want to go [to the Chilton dance], then it must be because of something you said.
Lorelai: Mom, I promise, all I ever said to her about dances is that you go, you dance, you have punch, you eat, you take a picture, and then you get auctioned off to a biker gang from Sausalito.
Lorelai: (shouting) C'mon already!
Rory: (from in her room) I'm primping!
Lorelai: You're sixteen, you've skin like a baby's ass, there's nothing to primp!
Rory: OK, OK, here I come!
(Rory walks down the hall to Lorelai, looking very lovely in her evening gown)
Lorelai: Wow, someone hit you with a pretty stick!
Emily: "We're in here", that's how you answer the door?
Lorelai: Well, I was all out of Saran wrap.
Emily: I don't even want to try to figure that one out.
(after spraying Rory's hair) Ok, that will be good for 6 slow dances, 4 medium ones, 1 lambada. But if you plan on doing any moshing, I suggest another coat.

Emily: (about Dean) What do you know about this boy?
Lorelai: Well, I know Rory likes him, and his parole officer has high hopes for his rehabilitation.
Emily: Does he drink?
Lorelai: Like a fish!
Emily: Explain this to me right now, Lorelai!
Lorelai: My back hurts. (burrows down in the couch and sticks her lip out)
Dean: Are you asking me to the dance?
Rory: No.....yes.
Emily: (about the mashed banana on toast) I used to make this all the time for you when you were a little girl.
Lorelai: You did?
Emily: Yes! Whenever you got sick, I made this.
Lorelai: Are you sure it wasn't the other way around?
Emily: What are you doing?
Lorelai: I'm taking out the avocado.
Emily: Since when don't you like avocado?
Lorelai: Since I said "Gross, what is this?" and you said "Avocado".
....(later)...
Emily: What's wrong with the tomato?
Lorelai: It was fraternizing with the enemy.
Lorelai: Mom?
Emily: Yeah?
Lorelai: I made the dress.
Emily: You did a nice job.
Lorelai: Thanks.
Emily: With Rory and the dress.
Lorelai: Thank you.
Lorelai: Do you have any idea what it's like to wake up with my mother here and find out that you never came home?
Rory: So this is all about Grandma being here.
Lorelai: No, it's about the feeling of complete terror when your kid isn't in her bed in the morning!
Rory: I'm sorry.
Lorelai: And then it's about a whole different kind of terror when you find out she spent the night with some guy.
