Life is short. Talk fast.

Why not?「（提案などに対して）ぜひ！もちろん！」

Gilmore Girls 2-8 よりThe one from Italy had some sort of breakdown. Oh my god. It didn’t hurt Van Gogh. The guy should thank me. A year later I swear I saw him rummaging through our recyclables. I’m happy to sit. If it’s for grandpa, why not? Wonderful. I’ll set it up first thing in the morning. Psst. If you want, I can teach you the Billy Idol.

See if I care. = 私の知ったこっちゃない。勝手にしろ

Gilmore Girls 2-7 よりYou don’t see any validity to my side at all? I am a grown man. You cannot tell me who to date. I’m not telling you who not to date. You can’t tell me that either.

The reception on the phone sucked.「電話口の人、超感じ悪かった」

Gilmore Girls 2-7 よりWhat happened? The reception on the phone sucked, and all I heard was “Rory” and “Chilton” and “Get down here.” We didn’t go to breakfast. What are you talking about? We came here. They broke into the headmaster’s office as the big initiation. Oh, those stupid girls. Mm-hmm.

Gilmore Girls 2-7 よりI have friends. I have a steady boyfriend, and my mother and I are freakishly linked, and Lane and I have been best friends since kindergarten, but you don’t see that because I don’t live in this town.

suspension「停学」detention「居残り」

Gilmore Girls 2-7 よりDisappointment, disillusionment, frustration, astonishment… I suppose you could say I am experiencing all of these emotions. Finding some of Chilton’s best and brightest acting in such a destructive, immoral, and illegal manner will make all of us think long and hard about the manner in which we’re educating you girls. But that is all in the future. How do we handle this now?...
