Next Episode: s02e05 - The Serena Also Rises:

As Gossip Girl narrates the so-called Fashion Week where the students of the Upper East Side gather for the annual fund raiser, Blair becomes angry with her mother when she gives Serena and her new socialite friend, Poppy Lifton, front row seats to the Eleanor Waldorf Fashion Show. Hurt and betrayed by both Serena and her mother, Blair decides to sabotage the show. Meanwhile, Dan, also humiliated and shunned by Serena (who has fully returned to her former bad-girl self), starts hanging out with Chuck and his life of parties.

Isabel: Blair, where were you yesterday?
Blair: I was home, just taking care of--
Penelope: Serena! Where are we going tonight?
Isabel: The Dalton guys keep texting us. It was a feeding frenzy
last night.
Serena: Hey, I left you four messages. You okay?
Blair: Yeah. I-I wasn't feeling well.
Serena: You poor thing.
Blair: I actually have to get the assignments I missed yesterday.
Serena: Oh. Of course. I'll see you later.
Chuck: Well, well, look who's back on top. I wonder how that happened. Wait. Now that I think of it, I know exactly how that happened.

Vanessa: Nate.
Nate: What are you doing here?
Vanessa: I came to apologize. I didn't know what Blair was doing with the deal and the money and...
Nate: You think I care about the money? I mean, I asked you point-blank if anything was wrong. You lied to me.
Vanessa: I had to. I didn't know what to do.
Nate: What, so you confided in Dan? I mean, Blair? Really? Everyone but me. I gotta get to school.
Vanessa: So that's it? We can't even be friends?
Nate: Well, we were never really friends, remember?

Dan: Harris hated him. He called Rilke the Mitch Albom of the 19th century.
Serena: Rilke?
Amanda: Rainer Maria Rilke? "Letters To A Young Poet"?
Dan: Yeah, I-I gave it to her, actually, but she never read it. Though on her defense, she never read "Tuesdays With Morrie" either.
Amanda: This comparison coming from a man who does his best writing sloshed at a pub.
Serena: When did you start writing in a pub?
Dan: No, no, no, not me.
Amanda: Harris.
Serena: Oh. Uh, you know what? I'm gonna go get another glass.
Dan: Okay.
Man: Another soda?
Serena: Belvedere Martini, two olives, please.
Penelope: Doing okay, S?
Serena: I will be.
Isabel: So don't be mad, but we may have something that'll cheer you up.
Penelope: Several somethings, actually. Serena, this is Jenns, Captain of the Dalton lacrosse team.
Jenus: Can I buy you a drink?
Serena: How about next one?
GossipGirl: Even the most chivalrous knight is not above a little romantic retaliation. It turns out Lonely Boy is a worthy opponent, and it's time for S to bring in the cavalry. Wild horses couldn't keep us away.

Rufus: Lily, what-- what are you doing here?
Lily: Well, Serena and I were supposed to have a movie night, but she cancelled, so I thought...
Rufus: "Pretty In Pink."
Lily: It's only a supporting role, but Harry Dean Stanton is excellent.
Rufus: It's 9:00 at night.
Lily: Oh. Well, I guess I should have called, but I just thought I'd take a chance--
Rufus: Lily... What are you doing here?
Lily: I don't know. Bart is being doing business, as he did most of our trip. The kids are living their own lives, and my life... is in an empty house or in a crowded restaurant, and I don't know which one makes me feel more alone. I need a friend, and that's why I came to see you yesterday.
Rufus: I'm sorry, Lily. I... really am, but I can't be your friend. Yesterday reminded me of how easy it is to fall back into old patterns. I can't be your safety net anymore. It's not fair. You made your choice to be Mrs. Bass. You need to go do that. We both need you to go do that.
Clare: Rufus? Sorry I'm late.
Rufus: Hey. Uh, Clare, this is Lily.
Lily: Nice to meet you.
Rufus: Okay.
Lily: This used to be your favorite.

Marcus: I-I can't wait for you to join us at Markworth for the Holidays-- snow on the grounds, crackling fire, just the two of us under the stars.
Blair: You sure it won't be awkward?
Marcus:Awkward? How?
Blair: Juggling two women under one roof. You are sleeping with Catherine, right? Or do you prefer "Mom"?
Marcus: I can explain.
Blair: Hooking up with your dad's second wife? I thought my family was twisted, but you people take the cake.
Marcus: It's only happened a few times, and I put a stop to it when I met you. I really opened myself up to you. Can't--can't we still--
Blair: Oh, please. I just want to get through this without throwing up
in my mouth.
Catherine: Get through what exactly? I got your message. What's going on here?
Blair: Take a seat.
Catherine: I beg your pardon?
Blair: Oh, no. Not yet... But you will.
Catherine: What do you want?
Blair: Let's talk about your exit strategy.

Dan: So... Are you sure you want to eat here? 'Cause this is, uh, I'm thinking this is maybe not a great idea.
Amanda: Why? Everyone comes here. Dan, it's time to send a message.
Isabel: I am not sharing my lump crab.
Penelope: Check it out.
GossipGirl: What Dan Humphrey does with the other serfs in the village is his business. But when he brings his new maiden to court...
Isabel: I can't believe he brought her here.
GossipGirl: It's a declaration of war. Sound the trumpets, strumpets.

Vanessa: I'm so sorry, Blair. Like I said, Catherine knows where the Captain is. She threatened to expose him if I ever took Nate away from her. But with this, I was hoping that you might be able--
Blair: Who else knows?
Vanessa: What?
Blair: Who's seen this?
Vanessa: Dan. Just Dan.
Blair: If you or Humphrey ever breathe a word of this-- one word to anyone-- you'll regret it for the rest of your lives. Do you understand?
Vanessa: I just want Nate free from Catherine. I don't want him or anyone else finding out about this.
Blair: Good. I'll take care of it.
Vanessa: I'm trusting you, Blair.
Blair: Like you have a choice.

Rufus: Lily?

Lily: Hello, Rufus.

Rufus: What are you doing? I had no idea you were here. How was the trip? How--how's Bart?

Lily: Good. Good. Um, he's still in Beijing. On business, you know.

Rufus: So... What brings you down here, Lily?

Lily: Oh, I just thought it would be nice to, um, to say hello, maybe catch up.

Rufus: Actually I was on my way out.

Lily: Of course. I should have called first. You're busy with work and..

Rufus: No, I just... "Repo Man" is playing at the Sunshine. You know how I love my Harry Dean Stanton.

Lily: Playing Hooky?

Rufus: Yeah, don't tell anyone.

Lily: Not if you take me with you.

Rufus: You want to go to "Repo Man"?

Lily: Yeah.

Rufus: As I recall, we went to "Repo Man" once, and you walked out.

Lily: Well, that was 20 years ago.

Rufus: And you stole my soda.

Lily: Well, I'll buy you another.

Rufus: All right. Let's go to "Repo Man".

Dan: Hey.
Serena: Hey.
Dan: I-I just, uh... I waved.
Serena: I was wondering when I'd bump into you.
Dan: Mm. Yeah. So how's your, uh, how's your first day going? Or something slightly less cliche?
Serena: Good. Uh, yeah. School's...
Dan: School.
Serena: School.
Dan: Wow. Wow. This is...
Serena: Yeah, I know.
Dan: You know, I-I've been really nervous about seeing you all week. In fact, I still am.
Serena: You were?
Dan: Yeah.
Serena: You are?
Dan: Uh, l-look, why don't we just fast-forward past all this-- this weirdness and be friends?
Serena: That sounds so good.
Dan: Yeah.
Serena: You know what? What are you doing for lunch today? Friends eat lunch together, right?
Dan: They--you're right. They do. Uh, the thing is, I--
Amanda: Dan. Hey.
Dan: Uh, Amanda, this is Serena. Amanda's new, so I sort of already asked her if she, uh...
Serena: Right. Great. Well... Um... Welcome. I hope you have... I'll see you... Later.
Chuck: Who would have thought Humphrey would be the one to move on first? They look very sweet together. Did I overhear something about a lunch?

Nate: Vanessa, hey. Wait up.
Vanessa: Nate, what are you doing here?
Nate: Uh, you haven't returned my phone calls.
Vanessa: I've been busy.
Nate: No, wait. Just hold on for a second. You crash the party and you tell me to break it off with Catherine and then you pull an 180 and you tell me to stay with her and then you just bolt. I-I mean, did I do something, or--or what happened?
Vanessa: I'm late.
Nate: Whoa, whoa. So--so that's it? I mean, we're not even friends now?
Vanessa: We were never really friends, Nate.
...
Catherine: What a lovely little gallery.
Vanessa: What are you doing here?
Catherine: I know Nate paid you a visit this morning, and I just wanted to thank you. You show my appreciation for respecting our agreement.
Vanessa: Great. You can show me by leaving.
Catherine: See, I was thinking something a little more tangible.
Vanessa: What is this?
Catherine: Open it and see.
Vanessa: Unbelievable. You really think that...

...
Girl: And my brother goes to Dalton. Lacrosse captain. Cute friends.
Blair: Lunch. 1:00 sharp. Every year the Projects pile shrinks while the Victims pile...
Penelope: I blame the voucher system.
Isabel: It's like the Government doesn't even care.
Chuck: Last minute transfer. I thought you should be up-to-date.
Blair: Dates will not be my problem this year. Thanks to your little performance last week, the Lord and I are better than ever. Now if you'll  excuse me... I have to find Serena.

Serena: Hey. Sorry I'm late.
Dan: Oh, no. It's not a problem. You--you look great, as always.
Serena: Thank you.
Dan: Oh. Oh, that's, uh, that's troubling.
Serena: Maybe we should just go. Yeah.
Dan: Did I say you look nice?
Serena: Yeah. Thanks again, though.
Dan: Yeah. You're welcome.
Serena: Did you do anything this afternoon?
Dan: No. No. You?
Serena: No. Chuck had a Japanese stewardess over today.
Dan: Oh... It's a slow elevator.
...
Dan: Yeah, my name's Dan Humphrey. Yeah. Uh, the elevator's stuck. Okay. Okay. All right. Thank you. Well, it's a citywide blackout, so the guy says we just have to wait, hope the power comes back on soon. What? No. No, I know when you're thinking of something. Just tell me.
Serena: No, it's--it's nothing.
Dan: Serena.
Serena: Well, you--you probably should have mentioned my name.
Dan: Are you kidding?
Serena: Just forget it.
Dan: No, seriously. You think that there's, like, a box that says, "open in event of Serena Van Der Woodsen emergency"?
Serena: I live in the building. That's all.
Dan: No, it's a citywide blackout, so there--there must be hundreds of people stuck in elevators right now.
Serena: Okay, if you're not gonna call them, can we not talk about it
You're making it hotter.
Dan: Okay.
Serena: No, Dan--
Dan: Why not? Yeah, hey. It's Dan Humphrey again. Uh, Humph--Humphrey, the guy in the elevator? Yeah. I know, I know, but I forgot to say that I'm with Serena Van Der Woodsen. Okay. Thanks. Well, they're gonna send someone, so...
