Emily Gilmore: That’s a pretty color. What is that?
Lorelai Gilmore: It’s called “Vicious Trollop”.
Emily Gilmore: Oh stop it.
Lorelai Gilmore: [holds up the lipstick tube for Emily’s inspection]
Emily Gilmore: Now why would you name a lipstick something like that?
Lorelai Gilmore: ‘Cause “Dirty Whore” was taken?
Emily Gilmore: You frighten me.
Lorelai Gilmore: Wanna try some?
Emily Gilmore: No thank you!
Lorelai Gilmore: Come on, mom, try it.
Emily Gilmore: It won’t look good on me.
Lorelai Gilmore: Sure it will!
Emily Gilmore: Well all right. But if I look ridiculous …
Lorelai Gilmore: I’ll be the first one to point it out.
[chanting]
Lorelai Gilmore: You’re a Vicious Trollop, you’re a Vicious Trollop…
Emily Gilmore: Lorelai.
Lorelai Gilmore: Sorry.
– Gilmore Girls, There’s the Rub
I’ve been thinking about this scene a lot lately, in fact, every time I read Framley Parsonage by Anthony Trollope. 😉

A BIBLIOPHILE'S STYLE 
You’re making me wanna marathon Gilmore Girls after I finish Merlin…I’d stopped religiously watching it as it aired around season 3? 4? How many did they end up with anyway?

It was on for 7 seasons. The first 3 seasons were the best, IMHO. In season 4 Rory went away to Yale (you’d probably like some of the Yale scenes). I really liked some of Lorelai’s storyline in the last four seasons, but Rory’s storyline was absolute crap. Still, I was heavily invested in the characters and loved the show as a whole.

Was it because of the boys Rory got involved in? I really liked the bad boy one that took her away from the tall one. LOL. Can you tell it’s been a while?

Yes, it was the boys. After freshman year at Yale Rory got impossibly stupid about boys (and life in general). I didn’t like Jess (bad boy) the first time around, but they really redeemed his character later and now I prefer him to Dean (nice boy who got assassinated in seasons 4 & 5).

WOT?! WOT?! Assassinated? Spoilers, sweetie!

Well, not physically assassinated. 😛 I just didn’t like the way they wrote the character.

Oh, whew! Okay, good. That’s more in keeping with the show’s genre. 😀
