lorelai gets $75,000

[@ladyanime100]

"I get $75000 for being born" I wish I get $75000 for being born

[@Surfer041]

Don't we all.

[@brownblair98]

This is unquestionably the best scene between Richard and Lorelai EVER!

[@smallworldafterall09]

Blair Brown, I appreciated your comment and feel this is such a lovely scene between the two of them. Pay no mind to that grump, D. Roberts. (I noticed his name grousing repeatedly on another clip.) I absolutely adored Edward Hermann; thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve seen him in.

[@booklight4902]

Hard to spoil $75,000 no strings attached

[@glenndallas7171]

I really like this one, but my personal fave is when he caught her sneaking out of a boring blind date Emily had set up, and he doesn't blow the whistle on her escaping. =)

[@xCanYouFeelTheLovex]

I love their relationship. He wasn't disturbed that she wanted to spend it on shoes, he even gave her advice on what kind haha. I feel they've always had a better relationship since he wasn't as uptight as Emily.

[@Nocturne22]

He's definitely more mellow and less manipulative, but he's also more stuck in his ways. Emily you can work around if you realllllyyyy try hard, but Richard either removes himself from the situation or is just 'NO' and that's it.

[@Surfer041]

xCanYouFeelTheLovex She'll always be his baby girl.

[@maragathm]

The reason is because the moment Lorelai said shoes Emily would have lost her mind rightly so because it is the dumbest shit ever but Lorelai is joking but Emily never understood her ill timed jokes. Emily takes everything literally and Lorelai knows this but takes advantage of it just to piss on her mother nerves things would be much simpler if Lorelai was just straightforward.

[@blairbrown4812]

I suspect that Lorelai has the same shrewd business acumen that her father has,given her success in buying and running the Dragonfly. I think that Richard always respected that. He also doesn't react to Lorelai's barbs the same way Emily does,instead opting to move on in such a way that Lorelai can't take offense.

[@KP-zd3hc]

No, instead he was outraged that she wanted to give her parents the money to pay back for Rory’s tuition. Lol…

[@robertotrejo4215]

This would have been a good story for Lorelai to tell when she was asked at her father's funeral.

[@imogenonscreen8054]

Maybe but remember Lorelai used the $75000 to pay back what her parents gave her to pay for Chilton and it really upset Emily so it might have upset her again if Lorelai told this story.

[@oooh19]

Terrible to be put on the spot like that. They should have respected her wishes and feelings not to make a speech.

[@lauriecarson6483]

No

I like how Richard wasn't perturbed she was thinking about spending it all on shoes.

I like how he gave cheaper shoes as an alternative 😂

[@rafsolo]

I love how he doesn't stop her from buying shoes, he just tells her to make smarter choices about her shopping and purchases

[@lauriecarson6483]

Riichard is still telling her what to do. it's her money know she can buy how many. shoes she wants.

[@jlammetje]

I thought it was quite lovely how he wasn’t outraged she would spend it all on shoes, just outraged at the price of shoes 😂

[@DeepikaGinger]

He is married to Emily

[@ReginaGeorgeSlay-my8fg]

I doubt he actually thought she was really going to spend it on shoes. He knows her kind of humor and without Emily they can breathe a bit in conversation. Otherwise he’d prob find it ridiculous and selfish for a single parent to think spending 75,000 all on shoes is actually appropriate. Sure it’s her money at the end of the day, but the responsible pathway is spending it a way that will benefit your own family. Sure grandparents are rich and all, but if she actually wants to do something for Rory or even her finances life, that money would make sense going to help Rory, stuff like mortgage, wise investments, savings, emergencies, etc. When your a parent you can’t just spend the lottery winnings on a trip to Hawaii, and then complain about the challenges of financing independently your career life, personal life, kids life, etc, all on your own without assistance.

[@BeckytaSU]

I think it's sweet Lorelai was able to fulfill her dream to be an entrepreneur and open her own inn because of this. Richard was a good guy

[@lauriecarson6483]

You do know she gave the whole check to Emily for Chilton right?. Loreai used her own money to get the Inn.

[@BeckytaSU]

@@lauriecarson6483 She used her own money to get the inn because she had the extra money Richard gave her to pay Emily. Lorelai and Rory have a whole conversation about this on Rory's graduation day from Chilton.

[@isaiahstinchcombe3462]

Surprised Richard didn’t react to lorelai screaming for everyone in the cafe she has been given 75000 dollars.

[@lindagarcia5908]

He knew she wouldn’t spend it on shoes he enjoyed her analogy though

[@tybrown7112]

Exactly! That’s why he was smiling while saying, “Enjoy the shoes.” 🥰 Also, he has the highest respect for successful business dealings, and Lorelai being overjoyed immediately instead of angry - was beautiful for him.

[@JackBlackJr123]

this is a moment i enjoy seeing because Its not often Richard and Lorelei enjoy their moments together

[@davido.1233]

If I got 75,000$, the first thing I would do, after depositing a significant portion in my account, would be to send my family on a vacation to somewhere we could all enjoy!

[@sandraeskandar7404]

this is such a sweet comment lol I hope after the virus is gone and the pandemic is over you and your family can go on vacation

[@mmmmmvodka]

With 75000 dollars...I would pay my student loans.

[@jtenorj]

@David Roberts why? You get to remove that debt that that might be hanging over your head for decades to come, and you may also avoid many thousands of dollars of interest you might have otherwise had to pay. Sounds great to me.

[@olliehernandez3934]

I would do that and then buy myself some fancy coffee. Like a Dutch Bros coffee or a Starbucks caramel macchiato.

[@Chrjstheshadow]

This threat makes me feel nostalgic of the times you could still pay off student loan debt with only $75k

[@jessicabrack2846]

Damn, now I'm really happy to be European (German born, Russian heritage, studying in the Netherlands)! I could pay my entire tuition of four years studying Bachelor and Master of Psychology, rent, travel money, food, occasional vaccations, study material (such as a proper computer) and other living costs and still have money to get a few years of studying abroad in like three different countries or something! And I probably still had like 5000$ left for my apprehensionship as psychotherapist ...

[@augustalavenderblue7353]

And when asked for one nice memory of herself and her father at the man's funeral, she couldn’t think of anything to say.

[@BellaRainDrops]

"Enjoy the shoes" what an awesome Dad lol

[@oooh19]

she should use it for her house or her business endeavors (like opening the inn and whatnot). she's always saying she's broke that's why. or maybe even a great vacation somewhere. maybe a bunch of shoes but then spend on other things

[@mmmmmvodka]

I think she did use it for the inn. I could be wrong. It's been a while since I last saw it. Even then, it wasn't enough and she had to borrow money from Luke.

[@katymvt]

@@mmmmmvodka She used it to pay back her parents for Rory's Chilton. It caused a big fight.

She didn't *actually* buy shoes with it, y'know... xD

[@MariaMaria-sr8zg]

You can do it too.

[@bcs1793]

One thing I dislike about GG is how inconsistent they are regarding money. To get 75,000 out of an investment over 35 years you needed to invest ~15,000 dollars. They spent much more than that renovating the pool house - 40,000. Or that episode that Emily goes to the mall and starts buying everything - if I'm not mistaken one yoga mat was 800 dollars. You are telling me that in one day Emily spends more than Richard set aside for his first born child? Or that Richard had to call his business manager to make an investment similar to one shopping spree from Emily?

[@zidneya]

And latter on when she use this money and pays her folks for Chilton, she act like is the noblest thing to do. When as a matter of fact, she didn't work at all to earn this, she was handed over that money by her folks in the first place.

[@lauriecarson6483]

it was, the honeat thing to do and who cares if Lorelai didn't work for the money. She hated asking for the money for Rory to go t o Chilton and paying her parents back was great.

Well she was doing everything by herself from the age of 16 when she gave birth to Rory. It was only when they decided to enroll Rory at Chilton that she decided to start taking help from her parents. And she later uses the 75k to pay them back. She was definitely born into privilege, though.

@David Roberts If Hillary could pull that off in her particular housing market, sounds good to me. She might avoid many years of interest payments, as well as add significant value to her home. That means she should be able to ask a lot more in the future should she choose to take out a mortgage or sell the house.
