PARIS: That kid was on the Colin Farrell freeway about to pull over into the Robert Downey, Jr. rest stop.

TimK — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 10:37:47 -0800

In the episode “Farewell, My Pet,” in reference to Robert Downey, Jr..

PARIS: It’s amazing. I thought you guys were never going to last… I’m just being honest. I mean, Logan Huntzberger? Between the women and the drinking, that kid was on the Colin Farrell freeway about to pull over into the Robert Downey, Jr. rest stop.

Both Colin Farrell and Robert Downey, Jr. had trouble with drugs and alcohol. Robert Downey, Jr. went to jail for it. In 1996, he was arrested for drunk driving and in possession of cocaine and heroin. The judge sentenced him to 3 years probation, but a year later he violated parole and was sentenced to 6 months in jail. The court also ordered him to undergo rehabilitation. Then in July, 1999, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison for another parole violation, but this sentence was later overturned, because of the court-ordered rehab. The next year, he was arrested again, all drugged up, for Valium possession. And again the next year after that.

Despite all this, Robert Downey, Jr. has been an award-winning actor and singer.

PARIS: Let's see... Gender Trouble, Judith Butler...

TimK — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 10:31:17 -0800

In the episode “Farewell, My Pet,” in reference to Judith Butler.

PARIS: Let’s see… Gender Trouble, Judith Butler… It should be here.

RORY: Are you sure this is where you hid it?

PARIS: Of course, I had an Aunt Judy who loved to travel, hence the travel section. Then I used my standard covert alphabetizing system, using the third letter of the author’s last name T followed by the third letter of the author’s first name D. So, it should be right here, after Taben but before Thoreau… Wait a minute. This whole shelf is a mess. Why is Congwen Shen before Tony Griffiths.

PARIS: What a shame Elizabeth Barrett Browning wasn't here to witness this.

TimK — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 11:20:06 -0800

In the episode “Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers,” in reference to Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

SUMMER: So, meet me after biology?

TRISTIN: And if I don’t?

SUMMER: You will.

TRISTIN: Oh, yes I will. Ah. To be young and in love.

PARIS: What a shame Elizabeth Barrett Browning wasn’t here to witness this. She’d put her head through a wall.

Tristin can be a disgusting jerk sometimes. He has Summer plastered against Rory and Paris’s lockers, and he’s sucking her tonsils out, in front of everyone. It’s really irking both Paris and Rory. That’s probably why Tristin’s putting on such a display.

Finally, Summer has to go to class, leading to this dialogue.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning is a world renowned poet from the Victorian era. Her poems are tender and delicate, strong and deep. Her most well known poem begins, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” This is from her most famous collection, Sonnets from the Portuguese, a collection of love poems.

Paris responded to Tristin’s reflection on love, contrasting his disgusting display to the deep, tender love in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s work. If she had witnessed that, she’d have put her head through a wall in frustration.
