Blair: Get your hands off of me! Or are you trying to kill me, too?

Serena: A guy died, and you use it as part of a game. Who does that?

Blair: It isn't a game, and this isn't just another thing on a laundry list. This is Yale, my dream. You crossed the line.

Serena: And so did you when you brought up Pete. As far as my being here, you take that up with the school. You did not just do that.

Blair: Why did you think you were invited? You know on paper you're not Yale material. Could it be your face on "page six," your name everywhere? Face it, Serena. Yale needs to up their "Q" rating, just like all the other schools, and they're gonna use girls like you to do it.

Serena: You shut up!

Blair: You shut up! Aah! No!

Serena: Blair! And I really hate those stupid headbands.

Blair: Aah! My headband!

Serena: No! You!

Blair: Trying to come up with an answer for the Dean's parlor game?

Serena: You manipulated your way in here?

Blair: I get what I want, Serena, just like I'm gonna win tonight. What's your answer? Oh, no, let me guess. Lauren Conrad.

Serena: Try George Sand. Wait. That's-- your answer? Not anymore. If you're gonna cheat your way in, then why should I play fair? Oh, and I heard that the Dean asks his question in alphabetical order, so since "V" comes before "W," it looks like the answer is all mine.

...

Man: Although I love Henry VIII, I prefer Sir Thomas more.

Blair: I think it's great that Pope Benedict canonized him when he did.

Serena: Oh, thank you. Don't you mean Pope Pius XI?

Man: That's quite right, miss, uh...

Serena: Van Der Woodsen.

Man: Van der woodsen, is it? Hi. Most people don't know their popes in succession.

Serena: Oh.

Man2: Excuse me.  Can I borrow you for a minute?

Blair: How do you even know that? You slept through history class last year.

Serena: I love "The Tudors." Henry Cavill is a total babe. You look pretty calm for someone who no longer has the perfect answer to the Dean's question.

Blair: You don't think I came all the way here without a backup answer, do you? Oh, and it's a real crowd-pleaser. It's gonna kill.

Dean: Everyone. Everyone. It's time for my favorite part of the evening, which has delightfully become known over the years as probatur.

Blair: That's latin for "the quiz."

Dean: We will begin with Mr. Applebaum.

Rufus: Oh, after that shower, there won't be any hot water left in the building.

Jenny: I wasn't in the shower the whole time. I was waiting for something.

Vanessa: I got here as fast as I could.

Jenny: I know. I, uh, saw you running up the block from my window.

Rufus: What's going on here?

Jenny: Did you know that Vanessa's applying for NYU next fall?

Rufus: Something you wouldn't be able to do without finishing high school.

Jenny: Which she's doing by homeschooling.

Rufus: Which she has to do because she has to work to support herself. Living as an adult when you're a teenager is not something any parent wants for their child.

Jenny: Well, what about what I want for me?

Rufus: Well, until you're 18, what you want gets trumped by what I want.

Vanessa: Plan B.

Jenny: Come to the atelier with me today.

Rufus: Come with you?

Jenny: I'll make you a deal. Spend the day with me, and by the end of the day, if you honestly think that I should go back to Constance on Monday, I will.

Rufus: Jenny, I've seen all your designs, heard about your internship all summer long. What more is there?

Jenny: Well, things are different now. Well, at least we'll be moving forward in one way or another.

Rufus: It's a deal.

Jenny: You mean it?

Rufus: You have my word. 

Jenny: Thank you!

New Haven Can Wait - s02e06 - Chuck by thegossiplook featuring christian dior fragrance

Chuck: Just make sure they're up for anything. This crowd can get particular. Well, I know you're not a geography whiz, but you aware that Providence is in Rhode Island?
Serena: I don't have time to explain. I've been invited to the Dean's house tonight. I have to get ready.
Chuck: The Dean's house? Uh-huh. Nice. What's your answer to his question?
Serena: Yes?
Chuck: No, no, no. "What person, real or imagined, living or dead, would you most like to have dinner with?" The rumor is, if your answer impresses the Dean enough, it's gets you on the short list for early admission, or so says Blair.
Serena: Oh, I should have given my spot to her.
Chuck: You got invited, and she didn't? You're lucky to be alive.
Serena: Yeah, well, I won't be much longer if I don't find an answer fast.
Chuck: Steal Blair's. She has no use for it anymore.
Serena: No. No, I can't, no matter how good it is.
Chuck: George Sand.
Serena: I did not want to know that. And how do you even know that? Wait. Why does Blair want to go to dinner with some guy named George?
Chuck: A hot girl named George. She dressed like a man and apparently is the Dean's favorite writer. And I know this because talking with Blair about how she's going to get into Yale gets her really...
Serena: Chuck, no. You just told me two things I never wanted to hear, and one is gonna haunt me for the rest of my life.

New Haven Can Wait - s02e06 - Blair by thegossiplook featuring a zipper bag

Dean: I have to say, your application is most impressive, miss Waldorf. There's just one thing I'd like to know. Tell me something about you that isn't in that packet.
Blair: Oh. Not in there?
Dean: Do you like to drive race cars? Can you cook authentic szechuan? The young lady before you told me delightful story. She was recently in a fashion show just for fun.
Blair: I know I must seem rather traditional compared to that young lady, but isn't tradition what Yale is all about?
Dean: Well, yes, but we've been trying to change that image. Too stuffy. So?
Blair: Well... I'm aware I lack some people's easy grace with strangers, and I don't exactly make  you feel like you've known me forever even though we just met. When I laugh, you might not smile just at the coquettish sound of it. And I may not be "spontaneous" or "delightful" or "full of surprises," and my hair might not sparkle when it catches the light... Everything worth knowing about me is in that folder. I made sure of it. Well, isn't there anything else you'd like to ask me? Maybe about what my plans are for tonight?
Dean: Uh, there's so much to do on campus. I'm sure you'll find something.
Blair: It was so nice to meet you.
Dean: Right. Uh, good luck then.
Blair: Oh, god.

New Haven Can Wait - s02e06 - Serena by thegossiplook featuring a black tote bag

Man: This weekend concludes college visits. The schools you will be visiting-- Harvard, Yale and Brown-- are among the best in the world. You are ambassadors of Constance Billard and St. Jude's, as well as your own families. We urge you to present yourselves in the best possible light. Good luck.
Chuck: I wonder what lucky school will be the subject of the next nursery rhyme penned by Brooklyn's lamest fiction writer?
Dan: Actually, Chuck, I think the Dean of admissions at Yale will actually appreciate my ability to write about, uh, damaged characters. 
Chuck: Looks like we'll be spending the weekend together.
Dan: How nice.
Chuck: Say hello to the characters on public transportation for me.
Serena: So you're off to yale?
Blair: Your deductive reasoning skills are perfect for a place like Brown.
Serena: A place like Brown?
Blair: An enclave of trustafarians and children of celebrities who major in drum circles and semiotics, whatever that is. I can't wait for you to come home next thanksgiving a militant veganista, anemic and proud.
Serena: Brown is an ivy league school.
Blair: Everyone knows that the only real ivies are the holy trinity-- Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
Serena: I know you may find this hard to believe, but not everyone wants to go to Yale. Because not everyone wants to be Blair Waldorf.
Blair: Not everyone can be. Since we're not friends anymore, let me speak frankly. You're not that smart. You lack focus and discipline. Charm is all well and good, but in the real world, knowledge is power. You wouldn't make it past the first round of admissions at Yale, no matter how hard you tried. Have fun in Providence. Oh, and, you know, maybe you can get your hair dreadlocked while you're there.
GossipGirl: Gossip girl's hardly a war buff, but I did cram for a quiz or two on the American Revolution. The last time new haven was invaded was in 1779.
Serena: Hey, mom. Change of plans. Tell the driver we're going to Yale.
GossipGirl: Heads up, B. There's a cannonball coming your way.

Lily: Ready?

Serena: Oh, yeah. Um, I'm all packed up. You excited, me at your alma mater?

Lily: So I guess that means you turned down this, uh, personal invitation to tour yale?

Serena: Brown's always been my plan, just like it was for you.

Lily: And I loved it there but if Yale had invited me, I would have said yes. The, uh, invitation is handwritten, Serena, in cursive.

Serena: Yale is for overachieving bookworms and preppies-- the Blairs of the world. Even though the two of us aren't exactly on speaking terms, there's no way I would step on that particular land mine.

GossipGirl:  Rise and shine, early birds. Gossip girl here. We all have dreams-- some good, some bad, some fun and freudian...

Dorota: Morning, Miss Blair.

GossipGirl: And some are the dreams we've had our whole lives.

Blair: Dorota, can you believe that in just three short hours, I'll be stepping through the gates of Yale?

Dorota: You used to sleep in your father's sweatshirt every night until it fell apart.

Blair: I'll get a new one, right after I attend the Dean of admissions' private reception, of course. Most candidates think it's an urban legend, but daddy was invited when he visited.

Dorota: Your mother already left for work, but she was very specific about your breakfast. Some kombucha, Miss Blair?

Blair: Since the Dean handpicks the guests right after their interviews, I'm a shoo-in. If there's one thing I know, it's that I give good interview. I could make Larry King cry.

Dorota: I am so proud of you.

Blair: And I'm so ready to be surrounded by people more like me and less like... Her. You've got to be kidding me.

Serena: The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.

Blair: Serena, can we talk?
Serena: About what? How you tried to publicly humiliate me?
Blair: You know about the dress.
Serena: Yeah, Laurel told me. She said it was an accident. Clearly, she doesn't know you.
Blair: I'm sorry. I was hurt, okay? Y-you blew off our most beloved tradition.
Serena: Just get over it, Blair.
Blair: Excuse me?
Serena: My whole life, I have been bending over backwards to protect your feelings. And you know what? It's not my fault you're so insecure.
Blair: And I'm sure it's not your fault you're so conceited.
Serena: I'm just tired of trying to hold myself back so I don't outshine you.
Blair: Oh, my God. Can you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth?
Serena: Just the truth. From now on, I'm gonna be who I am, and if you can support that and not be  threatened and competitive, then great. If not...

Eleanor: You did this on purpose. You put Serena into your dress so you could sneak it into my show.
Jenny: No, I didn't. I swear.
Eleanor: When I expose your eve harrington ways, your bright future will be snuffed out like a candle.
Laurel: Eleanor, Andreleon Talley is raving about the finale dress. He said it was the perfect culmination to your line, loved it.
Blair: They loved the dress?
Jenny: My dress? Eleanor, I used scraps of fabric I found around the atelier, and I adapted one of your old patterns. It's basically your design. Please take credit for it.
Eleanor: I am Eleanor Waldorf. I do not have to take credit for a dress made by a child.
Blair: Mom, Jenny saved the show. It was her idea to use the socialites. And look. It's a smash success. Take your bow.
Eleanor: Please?
Blair: What else are you gonna do, mom?
Eleanor: What the hell.
Woman: A guy's acting crazy outside, wants to be let in, says he's your father. Should I put him on the list?
Jenny: Um, no. My dad's out of town. It must be a mistake.
Woman: Okay.

Bart: Lily, I'm home. I have missed you.
Lily: Good, because I am going to steal your passport and lock you in our room.
Bart: That sounds like the perfect plan. But not before I give you something. I mean, if it's not your taste, we can exchange it.
Lily: Oh, no, no, no. The necklace is exquisite. It's... It's just-- You didn't happen to buy a piece of art recently? Perhaps a Mapplethorpe?
Bart: Yes, I did.
Lily: You did. Oh! You did. You got it for me. Oh! How did you know and when can I see it?
Bart: Well, you can't. No one can.
Lily: I don't understand.
Bart: Lily, I'm a powerful man, And that makes me and those around me a target, and it is my job to protect this family from anything that can be used against us.
Lily: Used against us? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. H-how did you even know about it? Did you hire someone to look into my past? Do you have a Lily Bass dossier? I want to see it.
BartL Lily...

Poppy: Hey. Why aren't you dressed?
Serena: I don't think I'm gonna do this. Blair would be crushed. If anybody's gonna walk the runway in Eleanor's designs, it's her.
Poppy: Serena, I've only known you for a few weeks, but it's pretty clear you've spent your whole life worrying about Blair and what she thinks and how she feels.
Serena: You don't understand.
Poppy: I was best friends for years with this girl that was just like Blair, and it was subtle, but I was always having to make myself less sparkly so that she wouldn't feel insecure. Till one day I finally realized that is crazy... 'Cause a true friend would want you to be your most beautiful,  vibrant self.
Serena: No, I just--I really don't want to hurt her.
Poppy: I know. I know. But is that a good reason to hide your light? You're gorgeous, sweet, amazing. If Blair's a true friend, she'll support you.
Serena: You're right.
Poppy: Yeah? Okay. Come on.
Serena: Eleanor, where's my dress?
Blair: Here. Here.
Serena: Blair.
Blair: This will be beautiful on you. It's for the finale.
Serena: Are you sure?
Blair: Yes, yes. It's fine. Just hurry.

Poppy: Oh. Is there a problem, Serena?
Serena: Yeah, there is. Excuse me. I think there's been a mistake. My name is Serena Van Der Woodsen, and someone else's name is on my seat.
Woman: Let me check.
Blair: There's no mistake. Miss Van Der Woodsen is sitting in the back row.
Jenny: No, she's not. She's in the front row with Poppy Lifton.
Blair: What are you doing here?
Jenny: My job, no thanks to you.
Blair: Don't you have socks to darn?
Jenny: Blair, this is not about you or me. Go find Serena's name card and put it on the correct seat.
Blair: Don't touch Serena's name card. It remains where it is.
Eleanor: Jenny, why aren't you backstage? Oh. What's going on?
Jenny: Uh, it seems like someone's moved Serena's seat.
Serena: Yeah, someone.
Eleanor: What is the matter with you? I am so sorry, Serena. Would you take care of this right away, please? Could you just spare me the dramatics for one day? Go backstage. Try not to get underfoot. Jenny, I am so glad that you are here.

Woman: I did.

Lily: Did you offer the seller whatever they want for it?

Woman: I didn't have to. You already know the man who bought it.

Lily: Excuse me?

Woman: Your husband. Bart bought it anonymously. I had to call in a favor with a friend at Sotheby's to get his name.

Lily: But I never mentioned it to him. No one knows about that Mapplethorpe.

Woman: I highly doubt it was a coincidence. He's Bart Bass. I'm sure he found out about it and bought it for you as a gift.

Lily: I hate to say that I'm surprised that he knows me so well but that is the kind of husband I've always wanted.

Blair: What do you want?
Serena: I tried to reach you all night. Why haven't you returned any of my calls?
Blair: What is there to say? You've only taken over the girls at school and abandoned our oldest tradition to go to my mother's show with a  complete stranger.
Serena: First of all, I didn't take over the girls at school.
Blair: Are you really gonna pretend like you don't notice what's been going on?
Serena: What? These girls are like hummingbirds. They move from flower to flower. They'll be on to someone else next week and then back to you.  It's not a big deal.
Blair: And I suppose it's not a big deal that you're sitting front row at my mother's show either.
Serena: She asked me to do it as a favor.
Blair: Oh, and how could you possibly disappoint my mother?! Though you  have no qualms about screwing over your best friend.
Serena: Fine. I won't go.
Blair: Good!
Serena: And then Poppy won't go, and her friends won't go, and you can  explain to your mother why she has an empty first row. Would that make you happy?
Blair: At least I won't have to watch the next episode of the Serena  show.
Serena: You know, I was coming here to invite you to hang out with us.
Blair: Oh, how generous, Serena. I should feel so blessed that you would  include me in your little group.
Serena: You know what, Blair? I am gonna go to that show, and I'm gonna  sit front row, and I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it.

Rufus: Blair, what could we have done to deserve a visit from you?
Blair: I heard Jenny wasn't feeling well, so I brought her some chicken soup.
Rufus: That's thoughtful of you. Uh, but I think you have the wrong information.
Blair: You mean Jenny's not sick? That's strange. When I ran into headmistress Queller, she told me Jenny Humphrey hadn't been to school in ten days due to a bad case of mono. Apparently, her mother called to make sure the school knew.
Rufus: You know that Jenny's working with your mom tonight. I also know that you don't have my daughter's best interests at heart.
Blair: Whatever my motives may be, Mr. Humphrey, facts are facts, and the fact is, Jenny hasn't been to school in two weeks. I happen to have headmistress Queller's home number in my phone. Why don't you ask her yourself?
...
Jenny: Dad, what are you doing here?
Rufus: I suggest you get up and come with me without another word.
Jenny: I can't. Eleanor and Laurel are gonna be back any minute.
Rufus: I don't care. As of this minute, your fashion duties are over.
Jenny: Dad, I promised Eleanor I'd fix this hem. She's counting on me, okay?
Rufus: And I counted on you to show up to school, the school to which I pay tens of thousands of dollars every year, might I add. So I think you've had plenty of practice letting people down.
Jenny: Dad, please. I can explain, okay?
Rufus: Why would I believe anything you say? Let's go.
Jenny: Okay.
GossipGirl: They say in fashion, you can become a success overnight. But one minute you're in, and the next you're out.

Woman: And making a statement on the stairwell-- Richard Phillips.

Serena: Hi, mom. I borrowed your necklace.

Lily: Oh, it's stunning! Serena, do you think—

Serena: It's a necklace, mom.

Lily: Oh, but I'm talking about the art collection. Isn't it just breathtaking?

Woman: Any museum would be thrilled.

Lily: Let's hope Bart is when he gets back from luxembourg this week.

Serena: It's really great, mom. Your art consultant has exquisite taste.

Lily: You got in late last night.

Serena: Oh, yeah. I had the M.O.M.A. event with, uh, Poppy. Mm. We were perfect ladies, though. We sipped on sodas all night.

Woman: Oh, Poppy Lifton, the socialite?

Lily: Yes, they met at a charity affair the other week and they've been attached at the hip ever since. Now for over here...

Woman: Yes, the Ryan Mcginley.

Lily: Yes. Uh, something else. There's a Mapplethorpe that's coming up for auction. Serena: Uh... Wait. Mapplethorpe-- Isn't that the one who took all the pictures of the naked guys?

Lily: Yeah. Um, not just guys.

Serena: Wait. Mom, did you... 
Woman: You modeled for mapplethorpe?

Lily: Well, I kept it a secret, but I think you and Eric are old enough now...

Serena: No, but it's not one of those artsy shot where you can't tell if it's a belly button or a...

Lily: Well, it's very tasteful, I assure you.

Serena: You just became the coolest mom on the Upper East Side.

Lily: Mm. Thank you.
