Quotes 

• Taylor Doose : [at the town meeting]  All right, everybody! That's enough! The meeting has come to order. Now before we get down to official business, I would like to unofficially thank all of you for your concerns over my health. I'm doing much better, thank you.

  Babette Dell : We never heard. What did you do?

  Lorelai Gilmore : Yeah, what happened?

  Miss Patty : I heard you slipped in the tub.

  Taylor Doose : That's right, I did. Let that be a lesson to all of you. Bathroom safety is a serious business. One can never be too careful. Now, on to...

  Gypsy : I thought the paramedics found you in your living room.

  Taylor Doose : Well, yes. The tub was, in fact, a pedi-spa. I have bunions, and I was soaking, but it still was exceedingly slippery.

• Taylor Doose : Onto the next order of business. Our esteemed friend and neighbor Kirk would like a permit to do his performance art piece called "Kirk-in-a-box" in the town square.

  Kirk Gleason : It isn't a performance art piece. It is a feat of endurance - an attempt to stretch the bounds of human possibility.

  Miss Patty : And what exactly is "Kirk-in-a-box"?

  Kirk Gleason : I will be suspended 20 feet above the street in a clear Lucite box with no food or water.

  Lorelai Gilmore : Like David Blaine.

  Kirk Gleason : Not at all. My box is smaller.

  Babette Dell : Why?

  Kirk Gleason : Because Lucite is very costly.

  Babette Dell : No. Why are you doing it?

  Kirk Gleason : To see if I can.

  Taylor Doose : Let me point out that something like this could draw a crowd.

  Gypsy : Hey, if Kirk wants to sit in a box, let him sit in a box.

  Morey Dell : Yeah, what do we care?

  Babette Dell : Yeah, you don't have to look. It's a good idea! Let's vote!

  Taylor Doose : Very well. All those in favor...

  [Town votes Aye] 

  Taylor Doose : All right, all right. But don't complain to me when and if we run into a parking situation.
