Emily – All right. I’ll come straight to the point, Christopher. Now, I have known you a long time. I watched you grow up. You were a charming boy. A weak, but charming boy. And to be completely honest, I never thought much of you. I still don’t
Chris – Wow. That’s great of you to come by and share that with me

Come Home is the 12th episode of Season 5 of Gilmore Girls.

LITERATURE

  • My Lai 4: A Report on the Massacre and Its Aftermath by Seymour M. Hersh
  • The Nancy Drew Series by Carolyn Keene
POP CULTURE
Lorelai — But Charlie Rose, Jon Stewart, Pink Lady and Jeff.
Lorelai — Or Mel Brooks is on and he's so funny and you think, what a wonderful world we live in that there is a Mel Brooks to go to sleep to.
Luke — Mel Brooks is never on Charlie Rose, and when he is on he's talking about Nazis, and then you go to sleep and you dream about Nazis and they all look like Nathan Lane, and you're creeped out for days.
Lorelai: Say goodnight, Gracie. Luke: Goodnight, Gracie (Referencing George Burns and Gracie Allen).
Doyle – Now I'm Logan's journalistic Godfather, and I can't even get the punk to show up.
Lorelai — For the past few weeks after I have checked a room and found the honor bar intact, the next day, Toblerones are missing.
Lane – My Sam Ash catalogues!
My old Madonna t-shirt!
I look like the Korean Buddy Holly.
We’re not Maroon 5 or the gee whiz Slickee Boys.
Rory — How can meeting Seymour Hersh be boring? I love him. I read My Lai Four when I was twelve and I’ve been obsessed with him ever since.
Rory — Well, I polished off Nancy Drew that year too.
Lorelai — Or Patrick Swayze
Sookie — In search of his lost career.
Lane – Uh, Gil? The AC/DC ring.
I can’t believe you’ve never seen The Office!
Sookie — A few weeks ago I read in the paper that there was going to be an episode of Dark Shadows on, the one where Barnabas is released from his tomb, and I used to love Dark Shadows, and I just suddenly really wanted to see it.
Gil — Aw, yeah! Awesome! You guys rock. Do you know In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida?
Miss Celine — Ah, Emily. Wonderful timing. Please start with the Oscar de la Renta. Susan Hayward never wore anything but de la Renta in her final days. Clark Gable never knew what he was missing. [laughs] He was a cad, but the crease in his pants was immaculate. [She emerges from the closet and gasps.] Oh, my God! It’s Natalie Wood.
Miss Celine — Olive oil on the inside and on the outside. Anna Magnani taught me that.
Miss Celine — You’ll try them all. I had the worst row with Dietrich once. I told her, “Marlene, until you actually become a man you must try dresses on like a woman.” And that means all of them.
Miss Celine — Oh, my God, you’re Mary Martin. Take it off immediately.
Miss Celine — When I was dressing Marilyn for her wedding to Arthur Miller, I told her, I said, “Marilyn! Wear a flat hat on your head. It will remind him of a book.” She didn’t, and we all saw how that turned out.
Miss Celine — Oh, very elegant. Very nice, oh. There you go, Mrs. Oscar Lavant, love that. Here, try the Dior just for giggles, hmm?
Luke — Hey, twice a week you’re going to bed at 9:30 like a 72-year-old woman because I have early deliveries, so I figured the least I could do is make sure you don’t miss your Charlie Rose or your Patrick Stewart
Time for Tele-Tubby!
Chris – Yes, I have a maid-nanny combo.
Emily – Ah. How McDonald’s of you.
