Quotes
Dan : "I don't know about Serena, Dad. I can't tell if she's worth it."

Rufus : "What do you mean?"

Dan : "Well, uh, she's best friends with this girl, Blair Waldorf, who is basically everything I hate about the Upper East Side distilled into one 95-pound, doe-eyed, bonmot-tossing, label-whoring package of girly evil."

Rufus : [chuckling] "No one's that bad."

Dan : "She is. I would barely be exaggerating if I told you Medusa wants her withering glare back."

Gossip Girl : "This just in, S and B committing a crime of fashion. Who doesn't love a five fingers discount, especially if one of those fingers is the middle one..."

Eleanor : "Now, get some sleep. And I will see you in the morning. We're going to the photo shoot together."

(Eleanor tucks in Blair and caresses her hair)

Blair : "You haven't done this since I was little."

Eleanor : "You haven't been in bed by ten since you were little."

Chuck : [to Nate ] "The real world. Everyone out there wants to be us."

Serena : "Britney with the umbrella!... Posh Spice in America!"

Gossip Girl : [voice-over] "Spotted: Lonely Boy's rude awakening. Upper East Side queens aren't born at the top, they climb their way up in heels no matter who they have to tread on to do it."

Blair : Serena sent you here to talk to me?

Dan : No believe it or not I actually came here myself.

Blair : Normally I wouldn't be this close to you without a tetanus shot.
