Rory and Emily Fight Over Dinner | Gilmore Girls 

She used her mom's dress

Clearly, the message was not subtle.

Thank you for pointing this out I didn't even notice until you mentioned it 😆

I didn't even notice, until I saw your comment, thanks for that 😆

Agreed!! Its like she finally took off the ride tinted glasses and got a taste of reality.

Grandpa didn't do anything her though

@@Felicia-hz1qd thats why she was she was not acting out with him.

Luke was more of a father figure than Christopher in every way. Even Rory could see that.

Exactly Emily had absolutely no right to do what she did

@@rachelmartin5187 lorelai never let rory to be with chris,,,she was always jealous of Rory..christopher loves Rory soo much...

​@@Lisa07-sno the door was always open for him

@@tusselina91 No Christopher was always scared of Lorelei...There was some possessiveness in Loreali for Rory.....Rory always wished to have a Dad in her life childhood..

Sisterhood of Travelling Jeans‼️

SAME I've been searching for this clip for so long!

​@@rayanogIn other videos we only see the aftermath. This was so satisfying to see Emily get the roasting she so Richly deserved.

Relationship with Luke and special? Please. This is a tired talking point. I’m totally with you on everything else. Not only did Emily act in an overbearing and frankly ridiculous manner, she also deserved every bit of additional scrutiny for expecting more out of Rory than dinner. Rory had every right to act as she did. I have no doubts Rory cares about Luke but come on. Their relationship was greatly retconned in later seasons due to Lorelai dating Luke. Luke cared for Rory and went out of his way to help her but Rory clearly didn’t see him as any sort of fatherly figure or uncle. Maybe that’s my perception from Rory’s apathetic emotional projection most of the time. It just didn’t seem to me she thought of Luke as more than a solid dependable friend and positive male force. She at no point really spent time with him one on one or built any true dynamic outside of Lorelai and her knowing him. And it was all just bantering stuff. She probably saw him as just ‘family’ after a while. Without much significant meaning.

And if I'm correct this was after Emily read that letter from Richard's mother and found out Trix had told Richard shouldn't marry Emily. You would have thought after that she would not only understand how it feels. And that was only Trix sending a letter not going and telling the other person to show up at an event where the couple would be and try to get them to dump their partner to be with them.

Funny thing is... the cartoonish villainry is honestly realistic, there are moms like her out there

What she did was awful and it made clear, more than ever, why her daughter always kept her out of her personal life. But Emily's plan wouldn't have worked if Christopher didn't involve himself, if Lorelai wouldn't have hidden going to Christopher's house from Luke when she had no reason to, and if Luke would have listened to Lorelai instead of acting like a child. Emily got the ball rolling, but without all these other characters acting like morons, she wouldn't have succeeded on her own.

Luke is a control freak loser

@@Quirkyalonestercome on you know Emily she did what Trix did to her it’s like she’s blind it’s like Monica and her mom relationship but worse

Rory needed money for Yale. She would have to take out massive student loans to pay for Yale.

@@nina-raedelong158 oh. See I kinda forget the timeline here. Christopher hadn’t taken over the payments yet?

​@@NeptuneNoireNo, not yet. If I remember correctly, after Rory moved out from her grandparents' house and they were not talking, she said that Christopher paying for Yale would actually come in handy. This was I think a couple of months before she even moved in with them.

@@NeptuneNoire This scene in the video takes place in season 5. Christopher paying for Yale happened in season 6, just after Lorelei and Rory reconciled, and Rory reconsidered enrolling back for Yale.

When Lorelei's Dad paid her the dividends from an investment he made in her name when she was born, that pushed Rory out of the price bracket for financial aid to pay for tuition at Yale. Lorelei took that money and paid her parents back for them paying for Chilton. Of course this pissed off Emily. (No surprise.) After some back and forth, Rory was out of options to pay for Yale. The day of her high school graduation, about an hour or so before the ceremony, Rory visited her grandparents house and pitched her case. The money was to be a Loan. Paid back beginning 5-years after she graduated from college. (Giving her enough time to save up and establish herself as a journalist.) While Rory insisted she be charged interest, her grandfather declined. The clutch to the arrangement was to reinstate Friday Night Dinners. (By this time they were no longer an option because of the Chilton loan repayment.) Anyway, fast forward to when Richard and Emily discovered Lorelei's relationship with Jason (Digger). That didn't work out, which set-up the relationship with Luke (Finally). Once the fog lifted over the Jason issue, Emily and Richard reconciled and planned an elaborate Vow Renewal Ceremony. Just before the wedding, Emily dropped by Christopher's apartment to entice/invite him to the wedding. All of which goes HORRIBLY WRONG and Luke leaves angry and heartbroken. The whole incident makes me pissed 😡 off just thinking about it. Lorelei tries to explain and make things better, but Luke needs time apart. Lorelei is found alone, crying in her room. Rory comes back to Stars Hollow to cheer her up. During their honeymoon, Emily sends back postcards from their trip, which both Rory and Lorelei ignore. (And rightly so.) Finally leading the Smack Down Emily Gilmore so richly deserved. Actually, the Smack Down Lorelei gives Emily at Luke's Diner is a solid 1000 in it's own right!

Ignoring someone is being direct. Not everyone is confrontational in the same regard.

Same

@@christinec2625no it’s not if you’re doing it to make someone mad about you ignoring them. It’s dumb. Just speak up or never speak again. Rory wasn’t going to do the latter.

That's the point imo, this is how WASPs act. That's how Emily would act if she were mad at someone. I think it's brilliant that they manage to, subtly, get across that Rory bought into that lifestyle so much that she started acting like them

@@ccroftHONESTLY EMILY WOULD ACT THE SAME she does it plenty to lorelai

Amen

have you forgotten its a contract?? something that happened prior to yale, from chilton even her mother chose?

Lol the madtv sketch

Lol the madtv sketch

She was right in this scene. Her grandmother did a terrible thing.

At home avoiding her mother

@@elliereed1262 I should have known that

are you unspoiled one?

What

Yes 👏

I don't hear you saying Emily's behavior was right.Plus Emily made it a condition of paying for Yale that Rory attend Friday night dinner.So what do you call that kind of behavior in that she was manipulating her granddaughter to spend time with her.

@@aph1976 I mean that's not manipulating her, that's a condition of her paying for her college. In all honesty, she probably shouldn't *have* to do that to get her to spend time with her, in both ways. Rory should spend time with her grandmother (who, incidentally loves her and is very generous toward her) and Emily should work on her relationship with her daughter so she doesn't have to do that. But also like... the idea that Emily could be responsible for breaking up Luke and Lorelai is kind of ridiculous and childish.

Wow what a ridiculous take. Emily’s behaviour was wrong. Period. Her part in breaking up Lorelai and Luke explains why Lorelai why she left in the first place .

Age shouldn't matter. "Respect your elders" only counts if they respect me and if my grandmother did what Emily did I would also not be fond of her and treating her coldly. Applying your own logic, Emily shouldn't have gotten involved in Lorelai's relationship with Luke considering it was between her and Luke.
