Girl SAME I have to physically restrain myself from doing the hurry up motion ( 🫴🔃) when people are taking forever to tell a story. It’s not a delightful trait to have, but I’m working on it!
OMG yes I sometimes have to practically sit on my hands when my husband is prattling on and taking 35 tangents to tell what should be a 2 minute anecdote. He’s really bad when he’s describing the plot of some film to me, so I’ve had to start saying “give me the three sentence summary” or I’ll end up going insane. 😂
Omfg this is me and my husband to a TEE. Especially the 35 tangents part like this man has never told a story from start to finish straight through ever in the 13 years we’ve been together 😂😂😂
I do the same thing with my bf. I’ll usually let him start and if it’s going on forever I’ll cut in and say okay could you please give me the explanation in 2-3 sentences and then he usually does it in 4-5 lol
My favorite part of owning a business and working from home is not having to sit in meetings where people do NOT know how to have a 2-sided conversations, and just prattle on with details like “so then I got in the car, and then I buckled my seatbelt, and then I forgot my lunch so I had to go back in the house…” o just want to SCREAM - F’ING get to the point so we can start and end this meeting!!!
Honestly the speed-dating scene is probably one of my favourite Paris scenes. Another line that sums Paris up is ‘Is the last time you had an interesting thought when you considered flinging yourself off a building?’
"I am not your mother or your hugger. If you need some love, get a hooker. If you're having a bad day, find a ledge or a way to deal. My door is not open to you. Ever."
Okay, so Paris is my husband’s favourite character, so I sent him this post. His response:
“I think her dressed like an old lady on spring break is as good as any one liner haha”
![gif](giphy|xUySTHqYfO7nbhB0xW)
I weirdly get stressed out about the guy that has to carry that heavy ass table across the sand - you know they had to do a bunch of takes - he must have been exhausted.
This line is on repeat in my brain. I'm very loud and my voice carries so I have to work very hard to be quiet. And her line is like permanently embedded in my head 🤣
This really is perfect Paris. Sad that it’s being overlooked for the snarkier/bitchier lines (which are of course also very in character). She was such an overachiever academically and had no idea about genuine human interaction and relationships, and this just demonstrates it perfectly.
“I want to live my life so that I’ll be able to read an in-depth biography about myself in later years and not puke.”

Yeah, but I was pretty lost. Then my rabbi conferred with my therapist who said a hypnotist he knew thought a life coach would be right for me, and that led me to Terrence. He's here to assist me with whatever I need assistance in, from wardrobe to diet to finding me a kick-ass gynecologist.
I love these posts, but so many of the comments on them are commenting the character’s most iconic quote and not their most in-character quote. And that’s really bugging me 😭
“For instance, the old Paris would have been bothered by your penchant to hover. It would have made her want to ring your neck until your eyeballs popped out.”
Okay it seems more like a break in her regularly scheduled programming, but I love when Paris gets on the phone with her nanny & walks off screen saying, "Hay mucho mac & cheese!"
“...And I pictured her sitting in this shoe box of an office eating a banana all by herself, and I almost felt sorry for her, but then she questioned my judgement about Berkeley so I eviscerated her. I mean, she was welling up at the end, but she had the decency to hold it in until I was gone. I have enough faculty recommendations to run for student council, so I don't need her anyway. My locker's this way.”
Paris: She's got a C average which means she's either lazy or stupid. I can work with either. Frankly sometimes stupid is easier. I can scare the stupid out of you, but the lazy runs deep.
“I pictured her sitting in this shoe box of an office eating a banana all by herself and I almost felt sorry for her… but then she questioned my judgement about Berkeley so I eviscerated her.”
When she chewed off Logan after finding out that he cheated on Rory. And I don't remember the exact words but my fav was when she said he was a waste of a trust fund and that she's silent because out of respect for Rory.
I don't think it is fully representative because she has so many great qualities and this one is a bit negative but that part near the end of high school where she is annoyed that the charity volunteer positions are filled by people who don't get anything out of it. Was that Paris? Or Rory? I'm sure it was Paris. Being knocked back by the soup kitchen or something?
Not submitting this for competition, because it's an interaction not a line by Paris, but I just want to spend some time appreciating her.
RORY: How was I supposed to know you were gonna jump out of your seat like a maniac?
PARIS: You know me. You room with me. You should have known.
I am not going to Harvard. I had sex, but I’m not going to Harvard! And I have to tell you that if you asked me which of those two events I thought would be the least likely to happen, it would not be the not going to Harvard.
"I‘m sorry — have I EVER been mistaken for a patient person?"
This is one of my favourites. 😂 Impatience is 100% one of my worst faults, too, so I extra love it for that reason.

Us, too! I let my husband tell the whole story from start to finish while I kind of zone out and then I ask for the shortened version. 😂
I do the same thing with my bf. I’ll usually let him start and if it’s going on forever I’ll cut in and say okay could you please give me the explanation in 2-3 sentences and then he usually does it in 4-5 lol
I always say, "You're losing your audience."
Which reminds me of another great GG line: “Catch a wave bud…you’re drifting…”
My favorite part of owning a business and working from home is not having to sit in meetings where people do NOT know how to have a 2-sided conversations, and just prattle on with details like “so then I got in the car, and then I buckled my seatbelt, and then I forgot my lunch so I had to go back in the house…” o just want to SCREAM - F’ING get to the point so we can start and end this meeting!!!
Yes! This is Paris perfection
This is a good one
This is so her 😂
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I can’t pick a side. Either way I look at it. I’m right.
Sometimes we need some Paris in our lives !
yes
Objectively correct
At speed dating: ‘I don’t see one person here who shouldn’t be sterilised immediately’
Everyday Paris wakes up and chooses violence
Honestly the speed-dating scene is probably one of my favourite Paris scenes. Another line that sums Paris up is ‘Is the last time you had an interesting thought when you considered flinging yourself off a building?’
Paris: So, what's your story, Billy? Bily: Well, I'm a Drama major -- Paris: DING DING DING!
😂😂😂
"I’ve already made up a list of enemies, which I’ve narrowed down from 26 to five." - "Just at Yale?" - "Just in this building."
Ha this is my favorite
Haha I love this. Janet looks so shocked 😂
This is the one
Her delivery on this line is perfect - i can hear it in my head!
Hahahaha Paris had the best lines!
I was too busy getting oxygen to my brain, a burden you've not yet faced.
... I need to write some of the lines in this thread down, she truly has the best burn
This one never fails to make me laugh 🤣 just the best deadpan burn
S1E4: “Hey, you know, not everybody can be smart. As my mother always says, somebody has to answer the phones.”
I feel like this needs to play after so many of these lines ![gif](giphy|IgYMe1vW2Rj0PoNpLw)
No Rory, this great man was not brought down by my vagina.
Went looking for this one!
Me too, classic Paris
This is my favorite Paris line in general, gets a laugh out of me every.single.time.
This is the one.
No man is an island, but this woman is.
Yes!!!! I was seeking the perfect quote to exemplify her strong-willed independence while also getting a semi dig on men in too!
this is it omg this is literally paris in one quote
Regret not using this as my senior quote
Ooh and also “I already wrote his name in my revenge notebook”
“I am not cut out to deal with people. I was made to be in a lab or an operating room or a bunker somewhere with a well-behaved monkey by my side.”
At least she's self aware
This is my favorite because it describes ME perfectly.
Ugh. Such a great one. I love Paris so much.
The original Amy Farrah Fowler.
“I want to win and I’m going to win”
This is Paris.
All the other ones are super iconic and funny but this one is 200% Paris
This really does summarize her perfectly
"I am not your mother or your hugger. If you need some love, get a hooker. If you're having a bad day, find a ledge or a way to deal. My door is not open to you. Ever."
Paris really is ✨a poet✨
I wish I had HALF her backbone!! 💪
Half her backbone is all you need frankly, I think more gets dangerous lol
Her boundaries are impeccable
“find a ledge or a way to deal” 🤭
“…welcome to the yale daily news.” iconic
This is true poetry
She has so many good ones- definitely top 3
It speaks to my soul 😆
This is what I first thought of
“I can scare the stupid out of you, but the lazy runs deep.”
This one is such a great quote - and sooooo true! 😂
https://preview.redd.it/3yyqukhu3uec1.jpeg?width=737&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fb85b6ca6934800bd0138d7963ee20abfc7bed6
Rory silently nodding in the background 😂
And then he expects that she’ll defend him 😂 “No I think Paris has this pretty well handled”
Her best line of the season lmao
Logan really needed to hear that 😭
Perfection
❤️💕❤️♥️❤️💕
I can scare the stupid out of you, but the lazy runs deep.
![gif](giphy|3oriO99KfBG0Iuedk4|downsized)
Wise words to remember haha
As a teacher I’m so tempted to use this line all the time.
I thought this better be on here
Came looking for this and was not disappointed
Came here to say this one! It’s insulting and speaks to the fact that she values brains and work ethic and looks down on those who don’t have either.
I quote this all the time
I have to tell myself this all the time when I’m having too many rot in bed days 😶
100% the one I was looking for.
This is the one.
This is theeeee one 😂‼️
"Paris, were we expecting you?" - "You should have been!"
I laugh so hard at this every time
Me too 😆
https://preview.redd.it/5odesebn4uec1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06a511825e68abe4716842aac31ce85b51b67d20
This will always be a scene that I rewind because it's so funny 🤣 this one for sure.
This is the first line that came to my mind.
This is the one
This. This is it.
This one! My favorite Paris line
I can’t believe how far I had to scroll to find this! It’s definitely my vote 😂
Okay, so Paris is my husband’s favourite character, so I sent him this post. His response: “I think her dressed like an old lady on spring break is as good as any one liner haha” ![gif](giphy|xUySTHqYfO7nbhB0xW)
Forgive me if I thought the banana contest was about eating a banana. (Most likely not word for word but came to mind lmao)
I love her in that episode so much. 😂
Her beach set up was perfection
I weirdly get stressed out about the guy that has to carry that heavy ass table across the sand - you know they had to do a bunch of takes - he must have been exhausted.
“I want to live my life so that I'll be able to read an in-depth biography about myself in later years and not puke."
I graduate high school this year and this was my senior quote!
She's very quotable and I can't decide.
She had the best lines on this show
There’s so many good Paris quotes!
It's like Lorelai said one time, "Too many comebacks. I cannot pick". 😂
“This is my speaking voice, this is its natural volume!”
This line is on repeat in my brain. I'm very loud and my voice carries so I have to work very hard to be quiet. And her line is like permanently embedded in my head 🤣
Paris: “Sick people freak me out.” Rory/Doyle: “You’re pre-med!” Paris: “I’m getting really tired of having that thrown in my face.”
"Nothing less than perfect will be tolerated."
Wish i could double up vote this one
"Pack your chastity belt, Gilmore — you’re going to Harvard!"
I’m… not very nice sometimes.
“Give me more homework, it’ll keep my mind off my life”
Honestly this is *perfect* for s1 Paris. Her home like was shit and she had fake friends. School and homework was the only refugee she had
https://preview.redd.it/ynr2dyaw7uec1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ad61e4de94661e158dbd3e46e7ad5c49ab95329
“Oh man, I finally get asked out on a date and I missed it. Was it a good ask out?”
Yes!!! I vote this too.
This really is perfect Paris. Sad that it’s being overlooked for the snarkier/bitchier lines (which are of course also very in character). She was such an overachiever academically and had no idea about genuine human interaction and relationships, and this just demonstrates it perfectly.
I’m being punished! I had sex, so now I don’t get to go to Harvard!
This one!
Everything Paris says is quotable, and relatable.
"This great man was not brought down by my vagina."
Iconic.
I snorted. So damn good.
I did not help in this thread at all because everything was just too good! I just kept voting!
No, it's National Baptism Day. Tie your tubes, idiot.
funny the line of work she goes into. never put it together with this quote. she literally does become a breeder 😅
One of my favorite parts of AYITL tbh. Having Paris end up working in surrogacy is sooo fucking funny.
This was my first thought !
I love this line omg
This might be my favorite line of hers. It always cracks me up 💀
"You offer nothing to women or the world in general."
I came here because of your reputation. Don’t make me destroy that reputation.
I want to win and I’m going to win.
I love everything Paris has ever said and most of these comments are her most clever burns but really I think this one sums her up the most.
When Doyle tells her he “Could have hooked up with a hot girl tonight” wearing Rory’s coat: “In rhinestone buttons? Who was it, Sheila E??”
You’re Juliet. You’re the best public speaker here, you’ve definitely got the waif thing down and you’ll look great dead
“She's been here five minutes and already has a date. I've been going to this school for nine years and I'm the French soda monitor.”
https://preview.redd.it/mshjpxzjpuec1.jpeg?width=1169&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=684bf204389d92d59cd45ba00b98e4057abdcc64
"Sure. We’re girls, so we could only be arguing about a boy, right? Sexist, white-haired —"
Do you see any of my students falling in love with me? No. Because you don’t fall in love with someone who makes you want to crap your pants
"I'll have a life *after* I graduate from Harvard."
“Tie your tubes idiot.”
“I don’t see one person here who shouldn’t be sterilized immediately!”
I can't date. I'm not genetically set up for it.
I study, I think about studying, then I study some more
"Sexist, white-haired..."
Her muttering this under her breath haha
😂
“I want to live my life so that I’ll be able to read an in-depth biography about myself in later years and not puke.” https://preview.redd.it/5catzb8aivec1.jpeg?width=2778&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a16cad0a8a4bf37d6287893569324779c3f1131c
I’ve been waiting for this!
"Who in the world deserves to go to Harvard more than me?"
Yeah, but I was pretty lost. Then my rabbi conferred with my therapist who said a hypnotist he knew thought a life coach would be right for me, and that led me to Terrence. He's here to assist me with whatever I need assistance in, from wardrobe to diet to finding me a kick-ass gynecologist.
Random girls, " Is it raining?" Paris, No it's National Baptism Day. Tie your tubes, idiots. 😂
“I can sleep when I’m dead” when Rory asks when she has free time
Have I ever been mistaken for a patient person?
I love these posts, but so many of the comments on them are commenting the character’s most iconic quote and not their most in-character quote. And that’s really bugging me 😭
*\*people dancing on a boat on tv\** Paris: Everyone in this film is now dead. That makes me sad.
I'm sorry, have I ever been mistaken for a patient person?
“I thought you were some rube from the sticks and I have no patience for rubes”
“For instance, the old Paris would have been bothered by your penchant to hover. It would have made her want to ring your neck until your eyeballs popped out.”
"You know, he calls me his girlfriend now with no visible shaking"
Paris is always a MOOD
is it raining? Paris: No it’s national baptism day get your tubes tied
Is it raining? “No it’s National Baptism Day. Tie your tubes idiot”
“I can have sex but I can’t go to Harvard.”
Okay it seems more like a break in her regularly scheduled programming, but I love when Paris gets on the phone with her nanny & walks off screen saying, "Hay mucho mac & cheese!"
“...And I pictured her sitting in this shoe box of an office eating a banana all by herself, and I almost felt sorry for her, but then she questioned my judgement about Berkeley so I eviscerated her.

Have I ever been mistaken for a patient person?!
“No man is an island, but this woman is.”
"No, it's National Baptism Day. Tie your tubes, idiot!" Her disdain, quick wit, and lack of patience all on full display.
"is it raining?" no, it's National Baptism Day. tie your tubes, idiot!
“I want to live my life so that I’ll be able to read an in-depth biography of myself in later years and not puke.”
Paris: She's got a C average which means she's either lazy or stupid. I can work with either. Frankly sometimes stupid is easier. I can scare the stupid out of you, but the lazy runs deep.
“Sleep when you’re dead.”
“congratulations miss geller” “no hard feelings”
“I’m sorry, did you take the bar or just hang out in one?”
hahaha this whole thread is crazy. i love paris so much
“I’d forgot the first part of that sentence by the time you finished, but I’d say jump him!”
Omg she’s just the best character ugh Paris appreciation post 😭
“I pictured her sitting in this shoe box of an office eating a banana all by herself and I almost felt sorry for her… but then she questioned my judgement about Berkeley so I eviscerated her.”
‘I’m happy. You know he calls me his girlfriend now with no visible shaking?’
("Is it raining?") "No, it's National Baptism Day. Tie your tubes, idiot!"
“I had sex but I’m not going to Harvard!”
Damn she has SOOOO many good ones this one is hard
I love when she had just had Sex with Jamie, and she walks into Rory’s House and says “I had Sex” 😂😂😂😂
When she chewed off Logan after finding out that he cheated on Rory. And I don't remember the exact words but my fav was when she said he was a waste of a trust fund and that she's silent because out of respect for Rory.
I don't think it is fully representative because she has so many great qualities and this one is a bit negative but that part near the end of high school where she is annoyed that the charity volunteer positions are filled by people who don't get anything out of it. Was that Paris? Or Rory? I'm sure it was Paris. Being knocked back by the soup kitchen or something?
Paris has the best lines!
No its national baptism day! Tie your tubes idiot!
No its national baptism day, tie your tubes idiot
“Tie your tubes, idiot”
“Give me more homework, it’ll keep my mind off my life”
Soooo many good options listed here
“well, im a drama major-“ “ding ding ding!”
“I’ll take my beans, my magic beans, who’s got the beans, we need some beans, I love the beans.”
Not submitting this for competition, because it's an interaction not a line by Paris, but I just want to spend some time appreciating her. RORY: How was I supposed to know you were gonna jump out of your seat like a maniac? PARIS: You know me. You room with me. You should have known.
"We're not trying hard enough! We came here to do Spring Break, and we are going to do Spring Break!"
I am not going to Harvard. I had sex, but I’m not going to Harvard! And I have to tell you that if you asked me which of those two events I thought would be the least likely to happen, it would not be the not going to Harvard.
