(I quite enjoy 23, I think it's a pretty stellar Dean moment)

I liked it too but others I like a bit more. Definitely will get tough to decide later on.

I love that whole exchange! It just cracks me up. It's so typical of teenage behavior, yet mixed with some damn good snark from Dean. Love, love, love.

Was that Dean or Dave?

Lane is calling Dave. And hanging up. Dean is the one with the quippy comments about how maybe Dave DOES have a girl over, a girl who's a huge Who fan.

2, 23, 37 out. Still voting against three at least a couple more times.

Phone call scenes - either a character is on the phone, is listening to a message, or is describing a phone conversation.

 

3.  Lorelai calls Luke after their interrupted first kiss.  He hides in the storeroom to talk, she hides in a closet.  "We kissed. ..... You and me, we kissed?"  Pau Pau chews on Taylor's shoe.  (SGTDM)

5.  Lorelai accidentally admits to Emily she went to Cinnamon's wake after missing Cousin Claudia's funeral.  "Hold on. I'm looking up aneurysm in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one."  (Cinnamon's Wake)

9.  Luke has to go help Liz & TJ at the Renn Faire and leaves Lorelai a ton of messages on her answering machine.  "Oh, no, did you leave a message? Sorry, my answering machine dropped dead of exhaustion."  (SGTDM)

11.  Emily comes to the diner to yell at Luke when she thinks he and Lorelai haven't gotten back together.  He speed dials Lorelai.  "Hello?"  "Just because you run a diner and have mastered the art of the blank stare does not mean it’s going to work with me!"  (Pulp Friction)

13.  Rory calls Jess after their picnic basket date.  He's glad she called, since now she can explain to him what the hell Ayn Rand is talking about in The Fountainhead.  "Commit to it one more time and if it still is awful for you, I will make it up to you."  (A'Tisket A'Tasket)

14.  Sookie calls Jackson to ask him out on a date and nervously babbles a message.  "The carrots still look good. It seems like it’s almost a shame to eat them, sort of like you should put them in a vase or -" "Sookie, hang up."  (Double Date)

16.  Lorelai uses her Louis Armstrong voice to talk Luke into doing the successful business owner talk at SH High.  "Have you been diagnosed?"  (OGCATOOD)

17.  Lorelai calls Luke and leaves him a message after the vow renewal, crying over their breakup and rambling about The Way We Were.  She tries to steal the answering machine tape before he listens to it.  (Say Something)

20.  Emily calls to invite Lorelai to the Society Matron's League's annual antique auction.  Lorelai tries to backpedal after calling Emily's friends old and wonders what kind of pieces they'll be offering.  "Basically a lot canes and shawls, a couple of walkers. I believe we finally talked Old Lady Rollins into giving up her teeth."  (Oasis)

26.  Rory calls the diner looking for Lorelai, who hasn't responded to the 21st birthday invitation yet. "I've never heard her say hell. I didn't even know she knew how to say hell. She was mad and she yelled and she said hell."  (21)

27.  Someone calls to make the first reservation at the Dragonfly Inn.  Lorelai has to take his information down on a gum wrapper.  Sookie is excited.  Michel is displeased.  "It's embarrassing. This is an historical document."  (TISL)

28.  Gran has passed away.  Richard is inconsolable.  Emily needs to find some turtleneck soup.  "You could Google it." "Can I? Can I Google it?"  (TRL)

31.  Luke calls Lorelai to tell her he's coming home from the Renn Faire.  She doesn't believe him.   "Oh, what's that, Lucy? A football for me to kick?"  (AMNM)

32.  Lorelai calls Mrs. Kim when Lane sneaks out to play at CBGB's and she is too scared to go home.  "Well, she went out tonight, and I think she was just scared to tell you about it, but she is fine. She's with Rory at Yale and they're safe and they promise to stay put."  (ITCATC)

33.  Lane drunk calls Mrs. Kim from Kyle's party.  "Nothing's wrong. In fact, I'm feeling pretty good right now. Had a beer and a half, nice cold beer. And I just thought I'd tell you, I'm drumming in a band tonight at a party and we rocked. We were The Clash and Rage Against the Machine and Nirvana combined. And I'm in love with Dave Rygalski. He's my guy, not Young Chui. Young Chui's a ship in the night, Mama. Not even a ship, he's a little tugboat tooting along and I'm not gonna go to the prom with him, unh uh. I'm going with Dave, because we rock together, Mama. The charade is over."  (Keg! Max!)

34.  Lorelai comes in from a date and hears a message from Luke on her machine.  "I'm sorry to be calling you like this, but I was wondering if, when you get this message, you could come pick me up 'cause I need a ride. I'm in Litchfield, the corner of Mason and Pine. It's a big, white building. You'll recognize it by the police sign outside because, oh, hell, I'm in jail."  (GIB, BDTT)

36.  Paris calls Rory to let her know Asher Fleming died.  "No, Rory. This great man was not brought down by my vagina."  (WitS)

39.  Sookie calls to tell Lorelai how Jackson took the pregnancy news.  "Well, I came home and I got some flowers and I chilled some glasses and I put some music on and I opened a bottle of champagne, and the cork broke the window so I had to clean up the glass, and then I taped some cardboard over the hole, and then I knocked over the bottle of champagne, so I had to get out the mop." "My finger’s hitting the fast forward button, hon."  (The Big One)

40.  Lorelai catches Jason on the phone with Emily.  "Are you doing like a Mrs. Robinson thing with my mother?" "Yes. I was visiting Richard one day, and he stepped out and Emily lit a cigarette and did that triangle thing with her thigh."  (AFM)

Dangit, 20 is one of the funniest Emily scenes of the entire series to me.  I hope Lorelai never seriously wonders where she got her sense of humor from.  Heh.

13, 20, and 39 out!  Drop to voting against TWO.

Well that went well, not. I enjoyed Lorelai's Louie Armstrong voice. LOL.  Plus I think Lorelai's call in Say Something was so well done. 

 

11, 28

I like them both too, particularly the call in Say Something. It feels very real and we rarely get to see Lorelai that vulnerable. I think one of the things the show does really well is capturing the immediate post breakup time period. It's just tough at this point!

And I always thought of it as feeling her way in the abrupt turn from long time friends to the beginning of a romantic relationship.  Maybe afraid of taking that step and assuming that Luke might not see it in the same way she's hoping he will.  Thus her relief and joy when he said what he did. 

I guess I felt that, having been in that situation!

I agree. I just love how nervous they are.
