Dave Rygalski / Adam Brody Appreciation

[BillyLee86]

I forget what episode this scene was in otherwise I would have put it in the episode discussion. Sorry! Anyways, I just loved Dave's speech to Lane's mom about asking her for Lane to go to the prom with him. He hates soda because the whole carbonation thing freaks him out, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink, he doesn't mind wearing a tie, etc. I just love it. If I had a boyfriend like Dave I would be so happy. He's everything a girl like me would want. Bytheway, does anyone know his last name?

i'm so new, but what happened to him? see i'm kind of a new gilmore girls fan and have seen most of the episodes out of order and i kind of missed season 5 altogether but i think he was gone before then anyway...?

[leebeasy]

Dave went to college in California.
In real life Adam Brody went on to star in The OC, hence the reason why they said Dave went to California.

[Krisleigh]

Yup. Kind of like when Tristan went to military schoool in North Carolina and turned up on OTH (set in fictional Tree Hill, North Carolina and shot in Wilmington for you Dawson freaks) a couple years later. Though that was more likely coincidence.

thanks

so how did lane start going out with the other guy? (for someone as obsessed with gilmore girls as me i really should know his name...)

[meg-pie]

I loved Dave and Lane together.  I think they would still be together if Adam Brody hadn't gone to the OC they were so great together. Ya, I think you get the picture I loved Dave espeacially the night he read the whole bible.

Dave's last name is Rigalski (not sure about spelling, and it always sounded to me like "Rogowski) She's with Zach now

[Krisleigh]

Dave Rygalski.

Lane realized she liked Zach in 'A Messenger, Nothing More (5.2)', told him in 'Tippecanoe, and Taylor Too (5.4), she took it back and Zach convinced her to give him some time to process in 'We Got Us A Pippi Virgin (5.5)', and Zach decided he was ready to date Lane, so they started dating in 'You Jump, I Jump Jack (5.7)'. I think I got everything right there. Feel free to correct me.

I really liked Dave.  He was so sweet to Lane  Zach just doesn't do it for me.

Dave: A few weeks ago you told me that Lane had a crush on me. Well, I have a crush on her, too. Now, I know you have very strict rules about dating and boys, but I just want you to know that I'm a good person. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I've never gotten a ticket, I'm healthy, I take care of myself, I floss. I never watch more than 30 minutes of television a night partly because I think it's a waste of time and partly because there's nothing on. I respect my parents, I do well in school, I never play video games in case they do someday prove that playing them can turn you into a serial killer. I don't drink coffee. I hate soda because the carbonation freaks me out. I'm happy to give up meat if you feel strongly about it. I don't mind wearing a tie. I enjoy playing those hymns on my guitar, and I really, really want to take your daughter to the prom.
Dave: [Mrs. Kim doesnt say anything] Mrs. Kim? Please don't make me repeat that list again.
Mrs. Kim: Let never day nor night unhallow'd pass, but still remember what the Lord hath done.
Dave: Okay, thank you.
Dave: [Dave and Lane walk outside] Did you hear what she said?
Lane: Yes, I did.
Dave: What did it mean?
Lane: I don't know.
Dave: Was it a yes, was it a no?
Lane: I'm not sure.
Dave: Well, it's gotta be from the bible, right? So I'll just go home, do some research, look on the Internet, see what I can find. I'll call you when I know something.

hope you like!!!

I love that rant.  And then:

DAVE: I stayed up all night. I read the entire bible cover to cover. I don't know what it means.

MRS. KIM: David.

DAVE: You have to tell me what it means. Is it yes, is it no? I can't feel my right elbow anymore. I don't even know why, but I can't.

MRS. KIM: David.

DAVE: Please, just tell me. I'm so tired.

MRS. KIM: It's not from the bible.

DAVE: What?

MRS. KIM: It's Shakespeare, Henry VI. I like to goof off now and then, too, you know.

DAVE: Shakespeare.

MRS. KIM: That is a very difficult this to do, reading the bible in one night. I myself have only done it three times. You need great determination and excellent light. I'm very impressed. All right

[Laaaura]

^^ I love those two quotes. Dave was a really cool character. And you gotta love Adam Brody. I like Zack too, but I liked Lane better with Dave.

[*a_milo_fan*]

I like Dave's personality better than Zach's...although I do like Zach, but I like the sorta boyish character that Dave had.

[gilmore-girl]

Yeah Dave deserves an appreciation thread and therefore I pretty stick you!!!
