  • Gossip Girl: (Voice Over) Well, Serena's mystery man is a mystery no longer. His name is... oh, who cares. Now that he and S are over, so are his fifteen minutes. But his sister Jenny was spotted with a new dress... gifted from Blair herself. Everyone knows an Eleanor original is the uniform of B's private army. But will J be a loyal soldier? Or will she side with S's rebel forces? And as for S herself: We hear she left today's brunch with no friends, no boy and nowhere left to run. It looks like the ultimate insider has become a total outsider. It's your move, Serena. And you know who'll be watching: Gossip Girl. edit »
  • Bart: Why do you think I do all this? Huh? This party is for you, okay, so you can meet people. You know, become a part of something, make some kind of change.
    Chuck: Really? I thought it was another excuse for an open bar and, ah, rehiring of the nearly nude statues.
    Bart: Do me a favor, will you? Lose the scotch. It's barely noon. edit »
  • Serena: I can't believe you told her.
    Nate: You just expected me to keep it a secret?
    Serena: Yes, Nate. There's nothing wrong with keeping a secret if the truth is gonna hurt someone.
    Nate: That's a hell of a way to look at things.
    Serena: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize all of the sudden you're the most honest guy on the planet. edit »
  • Chuck: Poor Daniel... so little time, so many sluts to defend... edit »
  • Chuck: Better a broken nose than a broken heart.
    Nate: I didn't even talk to Serena last night.
    Chuck: Who said anything about Serena? edit »
