mmmmm, hungry....

"Just a Burger? Just a burger. Robin, it’s so much more than "just a burger." I mean… that first bite—oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then…a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a…a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Robin. This is God, speaking to us in food."

Lessons learnt from Gilmore Girls

Luke:
Oh! Uh, congratulations.

Emily:
For what?

Luke:
You know, your thing tomorrow, renewing your vows.

Emily:
You congratulate the groom. You offer the bride best wishes.

Luke:
Oh.

*awkward silence*

Uh, best wishes.

Emily:
Why, thank you Luke. How sweet of you to say.

Richard:
*whispering* Psst, Lorelai. I need you to do something.

Lorelai:
Oh, spy voice. Cool.

Richard:
Focus, please?

Lorelai:
I am a camera.

Richard:
I want to give your mother a present. But I don't know what her dress looks like. So, I need you to take these, wait till she's not looking, hold them up to the dress, pick the one that looks best, bring it back to me and I will give it to her. Got it?

Lorelai:
Got it.

Richard:
Go.

*She goes upstairs to Emily's room*

Lorelai:
*walks in and holds out both necklaces* Which one do you want?

Emily:
That one. The other for my birthday.

Rory:
Look at that! It's so fancy.

Emily:
Your grandfather has perfect taste in necklaces and earrings. It's very important to find a man who can pick out your jewelry.

Lorelai:
Or steal it!
