Michael Winters: Taylor Doose

Quotes 

• Luke : [at a meeting where the town is debating the merits of Luke and Lorelai dating]  All right! That's it! This is my relationship.

  [points at various people] 

  Luke : Not yours! Not yours!

  [to Lorelai] 

  Luke : Yours...

  [to everyone else] 

  Luke : ... but not yours. Mine and hers but not...

  [looking pointedly at Taylor] 

  Luke : yours! There's not gonna be any more debating about whether or not it's a good idea if we're in a relationship, 'cause we're in a relationship!

  Lorelai Gilmore : Show them the horoscope!

  Taylor Doose : But in the event of a breakup...

  Luke : There's not going to be a breakup.

  Gypsy : Well, isn't he the optimistic fellow?

  Luke : Fine. In case of a breakup, I'll move. I'll close up Luke's Diner, I'll go far, far away, and that way you won't have to choose, okay? Every section in town can be pink.

  Taylor Doose : Can we have your word on that?

  Luke : You can have my word and a couple of middle fingers on that, Taylor.

• Taylor Doose : All right, let's move on to the next order of business. Hmm. A very serious matter has been brought to our attention, and I would like to bring to the floor for discussion the possible negative ramifications of the inn owner and diner owner dating.

  Lorelai Gilmore : [Gasps]  That's us.

  Luke : They're talking about us.

  Taylor Doose : Now, as you all know, the relationship we have feared for some time has emerged, and we need to carefully consider whether or not we can support this.

  Lorelai Gilmore : Oh, my God.

  Luke : We're sitting right here!

  Taylor Doose : Yes, we see you, Luke, and, as a member of the town, you are welcome to voice your opinion.

• Taylor Doose : Luke's Diner is a staple in this town. Most of us eat there on a regular basis. The Dragonfly Inn, though newer than Luke's Diner, has also become very important in our community. The co-mingling of the owners of these two establishments can only set the stage for disaster.

  Luke : What the hell is he talking about?

  Lorelai Gilmore : Well he's not happy with our co-mingling.

  Taylor Doose : Think of the consequences. What will happen when the relationship goes sour, as, let's face it, most of Lorelai's relationships do?

  Lorelai Gilmore : Hey!

  Taylor Doose : We'll have to choose. Suddenly you'll either be a 'Luke' or a 'Lorelai', or, if you're Kirk and you can't make a decision to save your life, you'll be neither.

  Kirk Gleason : He's probably right.

• Taylor Doose : People, do I have to remind you about Fay Wellington and Art Brush, huh? Do I?

  [murmurs in the crowd] 

  Lorelai Gilmore : Uh, yeah.

  Babette Dell : Fay owned a flower shop, and Art owned a candy store, and they fell madly in love about 10 years ago; big romance.

  Taylor Doose : And for a while, it all worked very synergistically. Flowers and candy seemed like a perfect match...

  Miss Patty : Until Art met Margie.

  Gypsy : The fudge queen.

  Babette Dell : Ooh, that was bad.

  Taylor Doose : The whole town split right down the middle. Suddenly you could buy flowers or you could buy candy.

  Miss Patty : Valentine's Day was a nightmare.

  Taylor Doose : Eventually, the hostility forced Art to move.

  Babette Dell : Fay never married. She stopped making candy. It was very sad.

  Taylor Doose : And those storefronts were empty for a year. No one wanted to be there.

  Lorelai Gilmore : God, this sounds terrible. Maybe they have a point.

  Luke : No, they don't have a point.

  Lorelai Gilmore : Well, what if something happens?

  Luke : This is crazy. I don't believe that the breakup of Fay Wellington and Art Brush affected the economy of this town one bit.

  Taylor Doose : Well, lucky for you, I brought charts.

  Luke : You have charts concerning the romance of two people who used to live here 10 years ago?
