  • Gossip Girl: Have you heard, Upper East Siders? Burlesque is all the rage again... and sometimes a little raging is exactly what you need.

  • Lily: Um... Long night?
    Chuck: (drunk) I found someone who made me a omelet. I may have washed it down with a Bellini or two.
    Lily: (smiles gently) Father didn't go for you business proposal... (Chuck doesn't say anything) Come on, let me help you.
    Chuck: He was born poor, I was born loaded. But if the only way to impress him is that I started with nothing, why doesn't he just take it all away?
    Lily: Because he loves you. No good parent likes to see his child go without.
    Chuck: I had the idea, I did the work. He tells me I can't be committed and he is the one screwing 25-year-old, when he is supposed to be committed to you. edit »
  • Bart: (to Chuck) I came down here because I saw the effort you made. Do you want to impress me with your commitment on something? Try get some few A's at school and, maybe, a part time job.

  • Bart: (to Chuck) What's with the business formal? Are you being arraigned for something?
    edit »
  • Lily: (sees Rufus dusting the ceiling) Well... this is a new strain of obsessive compulsive.
    Rufus: The new art piece projects up to the ceiling.
    Lily: Oh, still doing anything to get a girl on her back, huh? edit »

  • Blair: Yes, it would be very nice, if I was sailing up on the Mayflower.
