"He's still a playboy, you know? Well, of course you know. That would explain why your weight goes up and down 30 pounds every other month." Taken from Gilmore Girls S06E05
I love that even though she DESTROYS Shira here she still upgrades her to the better table. Emily wasn't about to let Shira get away with how she treated Rory, but she still knows the rules of her social circle and is going to play by them, while still finding a way to cut a bitch. Pure class.
Yep, it's a power move. As someone familiar with that world, I can assure you that being a gracious hostess is vital to maintaining your reputation and influence. The rules are unspoken, but if you break them, you'll suffer a major loss in social points. Shira was in over her head. Got hitched and thought she could skim over Emily Post and not stick out like a sore thumb. Nouveau riche without a pedigree.
Emily moves about the room like she owns it. And she does. She knows everything about everyone. She's also hella classy with boss moves. The way she upgraded her, tore her down in private, then walked away waving to some showed her dominance and superiority but she doesn't flaunt it. I love her.
What I love about Emily is that she refuses to let anyone believe that they’re better than her. If anyone tries to act superior, she’ll knock them down in the most tactful way possible. She was so quick to remind this woman that her wealth and her power comes from her husband and without him she is a nobody.
I loved Emily in this scene. I love the fact that she remained composed during the whole thing even though she being mean. But Logan's mother should know, never mess with Emily Gilmore. Ever.
Emily: " You are a two bit gold-digger fresh off the bus from Hicksville, when you met Mitchum from whatever bar you happened to stumble in to and what made Mitchum decided to marry you amongst the pack of women he was bedding at the time I'll never know. But hats of to you for bagging him, he's still a playboy you know. Well of course you know, that would explain why your weight goes up and down 30 pounds every other month. But that's your cross to bare, but these are ugly realities that nobody needs to talk about." 😂😂😂 Emily just gives it.
“Now let’s talk about YOUR money.” You knew shit was about to go down. Love how Shira doesn’t even know how to respond, all she could do is sit there & fake laugh lol
Yup the bitch couldn’t handle the truth! That’s why if you want to act as if you’re above everyone else, please make sure your past doesn’t contradict the facade you currently putting on
I really don't get what is so great about Emily in this scene??? She is rude, cinical and very intrusive, as usually. She thinks she has right to be supperior and put down who ever she wants. But when someone is snobbis as much as she is, and does the same thing to her and her family, oh that's a problem. Actually, I like what happened at Logan's. At least for one time someone treated their granddaughter the same way they (especially Emily) treated someone else's children and grandchildren, Luke, Christopher, Christopher's little daughter, Dean, Jess.... And yes, people are totally allowed to dislike or disprove Rory.
@@merikvant4557 she’s showing that she’s more authoritative and that though they may not like rory, they have no reason to and shira was trash talking the Gilmore’s so it was pretty great
The fact that she kept it to an appropriate volume and tone so that no one would take notice of their argument is a huge talent, especially in a room full of people in every direction
Oh trust me when I tell you there were many eyes on the encounter that knew Emily destroyed Shira without ever having to hear a word. That's how it's done in certain circles Richard's dear mother did the same to Emily viscous women
Emily Gilmore. Sometimes she is so terrible you can't help but hate her, and sometimes she is so wonderful that you can't help but love her. Definitely one of the more complex characters on TV. How can she be so amazing at times, then be so horrible at other times? That's a sign of good writing and great acting by Kelly Bishop.
Emily was my favourite character in this whole series. The only thing I didn‘t like about her is how she prejudiced Luke and thought He would stop Lorelei even though he is the one who saved Lorelei when she couldn‘t afford to finish the Dragonfly Inn. But still Emily was the best out of them all.
Emily was definitely the most interesting character, for me. Most of the time, I really liked her character, & actually felt sympathy for her. A lot of the time, I felt the way Lorelei to treat her was unfair. However, Emily did do some terrible things. Not long before this scene, she tried to break up Lorelei & Luke, because she thought of Luke as “less than”, & tried to set Lorelei up with Christopher.
@@lexi219 Emily was horrible in many situations, especially towards Lorelei. she kinda treated Lorelei like sh*t when she was little (I am not talking luxury, I am talking love, warmth and all that) even yelling at her when she was going into labour. she keeps blaming Lorelei for the past, she treats Luke absolutely awful and even gets them split up. Emily has great moments but she is also a huge snob and has awful moments too - let's be fair.
Emily Gilmore may not be the ‘best person’ but Kelly Bishop damn well made her the best character to watch throughout this show. Whether you love her or you hate her.... she ignites emotion either way, which makes her thrilling to watch every time she’s on screen
Oh my gosh, Yes! Kelly did a wonderful job with Emily’s character. And there were certainly times when you just wanted to slap the haughtiness out of Emily and then there were times like this when you just wanted to sit back and enjoy her shredding Shira to bits as she slowly fed her into a wood-chipper in front of everyone without barely making a scene. Edward, Scott, and Milo make my top list for actors/characters in this Show. Kelly is certainly among the top in my list for actresses/characters on GGs.
emily gilmore.... a masterclass in the art of dissing. she should get an honorary ghetto pass for being awesome... and free tea at luke's..... oh wait a minute, she probably already does if the show is still around where she is luke's mother-in-law.
Maddison Kenefsky oh, it refers to the fact that shira is so desperate to be with her husband that she would lose weight to win him over even though he cheats on her as she would eat a lot to cope. besides, shira is a woman that is full of herself as she is in denial that she has a weight and image problem. emily just laid the smackdown on her roody-poo candyass.
thevoid99 I think that she meant that Shira would binge eat, or like eat due to stress caused by her husband cheating on her. But, she could have meant it like how you said, I just always interpreted it the other way.!
In her messed up way, she just couldn’t equate working class with high quality. That is what Luke was. The biggest douchebags can be from ALL classes of men.
Kelly Bishop should have received an Emmy for this episode. Emily was a complex character. Sometimes it was easy to dislike her but when you become a parent, you understand her so much more. Brilliant actress!!
This was arguably one of the five best bits Emily had in the entire series, especially when you add it to her telling the girls about it later with Richard.
Oh yes just with how she said her name, without show context you either get that this is a woman who is very very sweet and reuniting with a friend or someone who is fake and trying to keep a certain appearance... and you keep watching to find out which she is
"Frankly Emily, there's your money and our money...." My God...how obnoxious this broad can be...well done Emily!!!!! There's no need to stop beeing classy during a fight :)
That look she gives Shira after Richard tells her what they did. It's like she's thinking, "Don't worry Richard, I'm going to tear that cocktail waitress a new one."
Her face before she walks over (not in this clip) after Richard tells her what's happening is priceless. When Emily is coming for you you best watch yourself.
I like how Emily defended rory and wanted her to stay with Logan as long as she wanted because she never received that treatment from her late mother in law who always disapproved of her and Richard. I guess part of her also did not want rory to experience the same feeling she did when constantly shamed by Trix
“Let’s talk about your money shall we? You were a two bit gold digger fresh off the bus from Hicksville and met Mitchum from whatever bar you happened to stumble into…” My wife watches this show but, I swear I love this woman.
Rory knew how much they loved them both. But you have to remember Lorelai is still coping with years and years of them emotionally manipulating her, trying to shove their expectations on her, their passive aggressiveness, and when she got pregnant she had to deal with their constant disappointment, their little digs at her, their unwillingness to address their problems. I’m not saying Lorelai was innocent. But her history with them is years and years of emotional trauma.
@@juliamiller5120 No parent is perfect, But Emily bought her and Luke a house, Richard invested and gave her thousands of dollars, He always helped with her insurance issues. I saw the way Emily cried at her graduation and the way she reacted to the shed. Loralie got a lot more than most ppl and judging by her behavior at Richard's funeral she didn't deserve it.
@@MrRumpunch70 Emily also manipulated Chris into declaring his love for Lorelai in front of Luke. Richard manipulated Rory into an interview at Yale and shoved boys at her when she started dating Dean again. They always meddled regardless of Lorlai and Rory’s feelings. They’re manipulative and calculating and have no regard for anyone’s happiness if they deem it “inappropriate” or “not good enough”.
@@juliamiller5120 Well, agree to disagree. I'm a little biased, I've developed a real antipathy towards Loralie the way she treated Max, the caricature of female independence she presents, and her general moronic chatter deluge she dumps on ppl dulls whatever supposed good qualities she may have.
Shira acting all chill and polite to Emily, as though she didnt totally disrespect Rory in her home and talk down to her, got exactly what she deserved here. Because people can say Emily and Richard did similar things to the people that Riry dated but at least they held true to their way if thinking and werent two faced about it like Mitchum and Shira were
Goes to show. No matter how much she fights with them, if Lorelai or Rory are in any way wronged by someone, no god will protect that person from Emily.
I love this scene. When Shila mentioned the "your money and our money" that was karma for treating Luke and others the way she did. But the way she gave Shila a reality check that she is no queen of England was just a master class. Not hair out of place, no scandal, no whispering among the audience...no one even notices Shila had been bitchslapped by Emily Gilmore. Wish we had more classy characters on tv right now, everything is s** hitting the fan on social media...just not that creative!
This clip is only missing the look on Emily's face before she heads toward Shira. It's priceless. When I originally saw it, for some reason I thought of Al Pacino's pause before he tears into Kevin Spacey in "Glengarry Glen Ross." Also, I initially thought she said "Hats off to you for banging him," which seemed a little out of character. But I figured it out after a moment.
She said "bagging", not "banging" - as in landing Mitchum as a husband. Although I do love the thought of Emily Gilmore making an outright reference to sex!
That would have been even more hilarious, especially since he was adamant about discussing “unsuitable people” marrying into their family. They were both strong-willed and intense people.
I am only realizing now how Kelly Bishop slayed in this role. Everyone was great but this character is so complex and had such an important impact on what would come next for Lorelei and Rory. She made Emily come alive. She is too good!
I also like the one where acuses Rory of being a spoiled only child. While I'm usually ready to put my fist through the screen at her, it's still a good one. Honorable mentions go to any scenes where Trix, her mother-in-law puts Emily in her place. Go Marion Ross for this part!
My daughter came home from school the one day, crying. The one girl in her class had invited everyone everyone except her to a birthday party. She'd never fit in with the rest, but this was done as blatantly as possible. My wife, a pleasant woman, very friendly and polite, went into town, and bought the most beautiful charm bracelet. And told her to give it to the girl on Monday as a birthday present... in front of the entire class. She scares me sometimes.
Someone mentioned in a different video that Emily is an older Blair Waldorf and I just can’t unsee this now. A lot more class than Blair as one would expect to come with growing older but Blair nonetheless.
THIS. THIS is what Emily Gilmore does well-- she PROTECTS her family even if she had to bring up Shira's "lucky" past. Now we all know to never mess with one Emily Gilmore. Period
Emily Gilmore is my favorite character in the series. Kelly Bishop nailed the part; so complex. She can go from arrogant to vulnerable in a split second. What an actress.
While I love Emily in this scene, Shira wasn’t the real villain at that dinner. It was Logan’s grandpa who was the real a** and he’s the one who really needed to be told off. Mitchum was second with his fake offer to help Rory just to crush her and then Shira was third with her stuck up attitude ( when she doesn’t have money of her own and wouldn’t have anything at all if it weren’t for Mitchum).
Emily was the lesser of the two elder Gilmore's, because they wrote her to be hated by Laurelai. But by gosh, Kelly Bishop seriously pushes through that contrivance here to demonstrate how much she loves her family.
Emily Gilmore... though she may be the Bane of her daughters existence is with out a doubt the Classist B.A.M.F I've ever seen! Edit: 5 years later this still holds up
I love how they're making veiled and snide and outright insulting comments to each other all while maintaining polite smiles and displaying nothing but civility to each other
"Confronts" Shira is a bit of an understatement! :D Emily swallowed the pretetious, toxic gold digger and spit her back out without causing any scene whatsoever! With that talent to unmask your opponent in a clear, argumentative style while keeping your cool + class, imagine what a lawyer Emily Gilmore would've made!
I love that even though she DESTROYS Shira here she still upgrades her to the better table. Emily wasn't about to let Shira get away with how she treated Rory, but she still knows the rules of her social circle and is going to play by them, while still finding a way to cut a bitch. Pure class.
That and probably also so that she could talk with her alone rather than around all of Shira's friends.
Yep, it's a power move. As someone familiar with that world, I can assure you that being a gracious hostess is vital to maintaining your reputation and influence. The rules are unspoken, but if you break them, you'll suffer a major loss in social points.
Shira was in over her head. Got hitched and thought she could skim over Emily Post and not stick out like a sore thumb. Nouveau riche without a pedigree.

She is soo annoying.

Emily shows how much she loves Rory in every episode. What are talking about?
*IT SHOWS THAT SHE LOVES HER FMLY* incl. Lorelei.
Do not fuck with Emily Gilmore.
You wanna talk about female rage? THIS is the ultimate female rage example.
This has to be my favourite moment out of the series.
The savagery in this scene is unparalleled
Emily reading this woman to filth never gets old 👏🏾
THIS. THIS is what Emily Gilmore does well-- she PROTECTS her family even if she had to bring up Shira's "lucky" past. Now we all know to never mess with one Emily Gilmore. Period
That was a BRUTAL dressing down. 10/10
the way that she handled that, said what needed to be said, AND STAYED CLASSY biggggg purrrrr
love this scene! she told her!
Legend has it that Shira is still recovering from that 3rd degree burn 😎
So loved Emily in this moment 💜 Logan's mom was just asking for it !
Emily Gilmore is my favorite character in the series. Kelly Bishop nailed the part; so complex. She can go from arrogant to vulnerable in a split second. What an actress.
While I love Emily in this scene, Shira wasn’t the real villain at that dinner. It was Logan’s grandpa who was the real a** and he’s the one who really needed to be told off. Mitchum was second with his fake offer to help Rory just to crush her and then Shira was third with her stuck up attitude ( when she doesn’t have money of her own and wouldn’t have anything at all if it weren’t for Mitchum).
Emily has always been my favorite character. Kelly Bishop is a gem.
Presenting Emily Gilmore, the unsung queen of Gilmore Girls, also the first mean girl and sass queen
In the south we refer to that as "Nice Nasty." My Mom is an expert at it but Emily held her own.
Go Emily! This scene was classic. Don't mess with the bull or you'll get the horns.
She's definitely one of my favorite actors/actresses on this entire show. I mean damn she's good!
the best scene of the show UGH her mind
Emily took her down and the smile never left her face.
Emily is pure class. She’s my favourite Gilmore Girl!
Watching in 2022, and still as iconic as the first time I saw it 👑.
i love grandam's. all grandmas, they are bad ass, to me, they know everything, and they enunciate their hate so eloquently.
Emily was the lesser of the two elder Gilmore's, because they wrote her to be hated by Laurelai. But by gosh, Kelly Bishop seriously pushes through that contrivance here to demonstrate how much she loves her family.
Emily Gilmore, and Judge Judy....my spirit animals. Thank you, ladies
I think this is my favorite scene in the whole series ❤️
kinda an insult
"You were a two bt gold digger fresh off the bus from Hicksville..." Ah so nice.
"But that's your cross to bear." 😮😂🙅🏻
Hands down one of my favourite moments in the show!
This is the dream... I know it's writing, acting, etc. But when every element fits... ❤
One of my favorite scene on this whole show Emily ate her UP😭
Emily Gilmore... though she may be the Bane of her daughters existence is with out a doubt the Classist B.A.M.F I've ever seen!
Edit: 5 years later this still holds up
Alex Davis what's a BAMF
I love how they're making veiled and snide and outright insulting comments to each other all while maintaining polite smiles and displaying nothing but civility to each other
I'm not a fan of Rory but when that dinner happened I was like "TELL YOUR GRANNY WHAT THEY SAID TO YOU!" She didn't disappoint.
This lives in my head rent free 😫 ICONIC!!!
Definitely one of my favorite moments :D So goooood
"Confronts" Shira is a bit of an understatement! :D Emily swallowed the pretetious, toxic gold digger and spit her back out without causing any scene whatsoever! With that talent to unmask your opponent in a clear, argumentative style while keeping your cool + class, imagine what a lawyer Emily Gilmore would've made!
Get her Emily ! What an ICON!
