No Gilmore Girls fan can forget Dave Rygalski’s legendary speech to Mrs. Kim. Lane wants to go to the prom with Dave, and he’s determined to make it happen!

In this episode, sisters Jackie and Catherine go through his speech, line by line, to explore what makes it so compelling, lovable, and memorable. 

Is it his adherence to safe driving and healthy habits, like flossing?

Is it his renunciation of drugs, carbonation, and video games?

Or is it his jacket, tie, and determined confidence?

Through it all, we can’t help but compare him to Jess and Zach. We have a few thoughts about how he distinguishes himself as boyfriend of the year. 

Because, really, Lane Kim deserved it.
