Did I miss the thread about The Gilmore Girls naming Wendy & Lisa?

Did I?

I just love that show. Too witty. PERFECT Herman television.

But here goes. Rory and Lorelai return from Atlantic City and tell Luke all about their 'Rory Turning 21'-festivities.

LORELAI: Oh, and look. [She gives Luke a crumpled piece of paper.]

LUKE: What's that?

RORY: Twenty-one guys' phone numbers.

LORELAI: I must say, I'm proud of how quickly we got them. And also of the fact that no-one questioned us when we said our names were Wendy and Lisa.


Which I think was too cool, way cooler than them naming Prince a few times.

I like Gilmore girls! And they've mentioned Prince at least fifteen times, which makes me like the show even more thumbs up!

All okay.

And I must admit that The Gilmore Girls' superior wit and sense of humour are quite close to mine. Is probably why we clash so often, hehehe. You detest me also, in a way.

I identify with LOADS of stuff in that series. The coffee, the bantering, the music. GREAT acting, not a bad actor in site.

Lorelai Gilmore, 32, has such a close relationship with her daughter Rory that they are often mistaken for sisters. Between Lorelai's relationship with her parents, Rory's new prep school, and both of their romantic entanglements, there's plenty of drama to go around.

That is what IMDB says. The series deals with their relationship, their love interests, their relationship with Lorelai's parents.
Lorelai is basically a free-fought soul that raised her daughter on her own, but established a shaky new attachment to them after Rory shows an interest in them.

All set in the little town of Stars Hollow, full with weird characters. The scripts are SO witty, lots of bantering, weird knowledge facts and a peculiar kind of humour I adore.

Anyways, to be on topic, the show pops up often because the writers/producers love music so much they cannot help but throw in LOADS of musical references and this season one of those was about Wendy & Lisa.

Very funny.

The opening scene from the pilot;


OPEN IN STARS HOLLOW
[Lorelai walks down the sidewalk. She passes a sign that says "Stars Hollow Founded 1779" and crosses the street. She goes into Luke's Diner. Inside, she takes off her coat and picks up an empty mug from a table, then walks up to the counter]

LORELAI: Please, Luke. Please, please, please.

LUKE: How many cups have you had this morning?

LORELAI: None.

LUKE: Plus...

LORELAI: Five, but yours is better.

LUKE: You have a problem.

LORELAI: Yes, I do.

[Luke fills her cup]

LUKE: Junkie.

LORELAI: Angel. You've got wings, baby.

[The phone rings as Lorelai goes back to her table. Luke answers it.]

LUKE: Luke's. [pause] Yeah.

[A young guy seated at the counter turns and watches Lorelai sip her coffee, then gets up and approaches her.]

JOEY: You make that look really good.

LORELAI: Oh, it is really good. It's the best coffee in town.

JOEY: Oh yeah? I'll have to get a cup.

LORELAI: Good plan.

JOEY: Yeah, I've never been here before. Just, uh, passing through on my way to Hartford.

LORELAI: You're a regular Jack Kerouac.

JOEY: Yeah.

LORELAI: Yeah.

JOEY: Hey, you mind if I sit down?

LORELAI: Oh, you know what? Actually, I'm meeting someone so I. . .

[Joey sits down at her table]

JOEY: I'm Joey.

LORELAI: Okay.

JOEY: What, you don't have a name?

LORELAI: No, I do have a name. I just, I'm really meeting someone, so. . .

JOEY: So I guess I should get going.

LORELAI: So soon?

JOEY: What?

LORELAI: I'm just screwing with your mind, Joey. It's nice to meet you. Enjoy Hartford.

JOEY: Enjoy your coffee, mystery woman.

LORELAI: Hm. I like that.

[As Joey goes back to the counter, Rory walks in and sits across from Lorelai.]

RORY: Hey. It's freezing.

LORELAI: Oh, what do you need? Hot tea, coffee?

RORY: Lip gloss.

LORELAI: Aha.

[Lorelai pulls a makeup bag out of her purse.]

LORELAI: I have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and toasted marshmallow.

RORY: Anything in there not resembling a breakfast cereal?

LORELAI: Yes.

[Lorelai pulls out another bag.]

LORELAI: It has no smell but it changes colors with your mood.

RORY: God, RuPaul doesn't need this much makeup.

LORELAI: Wow, you're crabby.

RORY: I'm sorry. I lost my Macy Gray CD and I need caffeine.

LORELAI: Ooh, I have your CD. [pulls the CD out of her purse]

RORY: Thief.

LORELAI: Sorry, and I will get you some coffee.

[Lorelai picks up another coffee cup and goes back to the counter. Luke gives her a look.]

LORELAI: What? It's not for me. It's for Rory, I swear.

LUKE: You're shameless.

[Behind Lorelai, Joey approaches Rory's table.]

LORELAI: Look, Officer Krupke. She's right at that table, right over there.

[Lorelai turns to point to Rory and sees Joey talking to her. Luke fills the coffee cup.]

LORELAI: Ah. He's got quite a pair, this guy. [Lorelai takes the cup.] Thanks.

[Lorelai goes back to the table.]

JOEY: [to Rory] Yeah, I've never been through here before.

LORELAI: Oh, you have, too.

JOEY: Oh, hi.

LORELAI: Oh, hi. You really like my table, don't you?

JOEY: I was just, uh. . .

LORELAI: Getting to know my daughter.

JOEY: Your. . .

RORY: Are you my new daddy?

JOEY: Wow. You do not look old enough to have a daughter. No, I mean it. And you do not look like a daughter.

LORELAI: That's possibly very sweet of you. Thanks.

JOEY: So. . .daughter. You know, I am traveling with a friend.

LORELAI: She's sixteen.

JOEY: Bye.

LORELAI: Drive safe.

[Joey and his friend exit the diner.]
