PARIS: My Thanksgiving is turning into a Wes Craven movie.

Antha — Thu, 27 May 2010 16:57:30 -0700

In the episode “A Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving,” in reference to Wes Craven.

RORY: How so?

PARIS: I called shelters to volunteer to serve food. Its Thanksgiving – you’d think they have needs. Nope. Every stupid soup kitchen in town turned me down because they have enough volunteers.

MADELINE: Bummer.

PARIS: I’m on a couple waiting lists, but it doesn’t look good.

Paris means that her Thanksgiving is horrific or nightmarish by referencing Wes Craven, who is best known as the creator of many horror films. Wes Craven was the director of films such as Scream, a Nightmare on Elm Street, and The People Under the Stairs.

LORELAI: Godot was just here. He said, "I ain't waiting for Richard," grabbed a roll and left.

In the episode “Back in the Saddle Again,” in reference to Waiting for Godot.

EMILY: We’re waiting for your father.

LORELAI: It’s gonna get cold.

EMILY: We are waiting for your father.

LORELAI: We’ve been waiting forever.

EMILY: We have not been waiting forever!

LORELAI: Forever. Godot was just here. He said, “I ain’t waiting for Richard,” grabbed a roll and left. It’s been forever!

Waiting for Godot is a famous play by Samuel Beckett. The title of the play is very self-explanatory, the characters in the play wait for Godot the entire play. The catch is, he never arrives.

ZACK: Whatever, man. I'm not saying bulwark.

In the episode “Face-Off,” in reference to A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.

ZACK (singing): A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing. (stops singing) Dude, what’s a bulwark?

BRIAN: What?

ZACK: It says, “A bulwark never failing.”

BRIAN: I think it’s a wall.

ZACK: Then why don’t they just say that? Bulwark sounds totally gay.

BRIAN: I don’t think you’re supposed to call a hymn gay. It’s like a sin or something.

ZACK: Whatever, man. I’m not saying bulwark.

Zack and Brian are rehearsing hymns in Rory’s garage to play for Mrs. Kim. They begin to play “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” When Zack sings a line about a “bulwark never failing,” he goes nuts and claims such a word is gay. Brian chips in that calling a sin gay is a huge sin, and so on.

PARIS: I'm not denying that we've got a May-December romance going on here.

In the episode “A Family Matter,” in reference to May-December romances.

RORY: Well you gotta choose Paris, because this is becoming pretty clear that the whatever you want to call it with the professor is not a short-lived thing.

PARIS: I’d say that’s accurate, and you can just call him Asher.

RORY: No, he’s my teacher, so I think I’ll stick with “professor.”

PARIS: “Professor” just makes him sound old.

RORY: He is old.

PARIS: He’s sixty. Today’s sixty is what fifty was twenty years ago, and he’s got the body of a forty year old.

RORY: I really don’t want to talk about his body.

PARIS: I’m not denying that we’ve got a May-December romance going on here.

RORY: This is not May-December, this is… May… Ming Dynasty!

Paris says this when Rory challenges her about her relationship with Asher Flemming. Paris is refering to a British TV series from the late 80’s to early 90’s called May to December . It was about Alec Callendar, a solicitor who meets and falls in love with Zoe Angel, a woman half his age.

MICHEL: Whatever. I'm outie 5000.

In the episode “Hay Bale Maze,” in reference to Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

MICHEL: Whatever.

SOOKIE: Michel, people stopped saying “whatever,” like, 2 years ago.

MICHEL: Whatever. I’m outie 5000.

“Outie” is a shortened version of “I’m outta here,” but flavored with the name of the Audi 5000, a popular German automobile.

The character Romulox on Aqua Teen Hunger Force used this phrase.
