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.

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.

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...

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...

Jenny: Um, I guess I'm gonna go now.

Eleanor: Oh, please. I am not sending you out into a blackout. You can stay till the lights come back on.

Jenny: Okay. Thanks.

Eleanor: As--as long as you're here, come here. Hold this. I just--i cannot-- I cannot decide about this neckline.

Jenny: Really? I think it's cute.

Eleanor: Why don't you try telling the truth? It's not like I can fire you twice.

Jenny: Well, it looks like a pilgrim at a funeral. Uh, I'm sorry.

Eleanor: You're absolutely right.

Jenny: I am?

Eleanor: Yeah. Don't let it go to your head.

...

Eleanor: I spent the last month going around and meeting with the--the stores and the boutiques that carry my clothes.

Jenny: That must have been so exciting.

Eleanor: I felt like a fat cheerleader. As a designer, your worst fear is becoming irrelevant. Then I come back here and find out the teenage intern tells me that exact thing.

Jenny: I'm really sorry.

Eleanor: Maybe that is exactly what I needed to hear.

Jenny: You know, the first real dress I ever bought was one of yours.

Eleanor: Just spare me the pity.

Jenny: It's true. I bought it from--well, from a consignment store... Ah. 'Cause that was the only way I could afford it. Mm-hmm. I was 12, and I just wore it around the apartment for months. It was one of the first things that made me want to become a designer.

Eleanor: Jenny.

Jenny: Yeah?

Eleanor: The light.

Marcus: Duchess, here. Sorry to leave you on your own.

Catherine: Oh, thank you, darling. My pleasure.

Blair: Well, the ancestral home is next to Balmoral. Marcus tells the funniest story about Harry running naked across their lawn.

Nelly: Prince Harry? I love him.

Penelope: But you've been planning on Yale ever since you were a little girl.

Blair: I know, but Marcus keeps begging me to consider Oxford.

Chuck: What a pity. So much wasted potential.

Blair: What are you talking about?

Chuck: The thing that always fascinated me about you. The cool exterior, the fire below.

Blair: You are living proof a person can't buy class.

Chuck: And you can't tell me Bertie wooster is satisfying your needs. Titles aside, a suit of armor makes for a cold bedfellow.

Blair: Not that it's any of your business, but Marcus and I have an amazing sex life.

Chuck: Is that so? Mm. What names does he call you when you make love? Where does he put his hand? Does he... Have sex with me.

Blair: What?

Chuck: Just once. That's all I need.

Blair: You are disgusting, and I hate you.

Chuck: Then why are you still holding my hand?

Blair: I have a party to host.

Blair: Now if everyone will just get a drink and a candle, I'm sure the power will be back in a minute.

Catherine: Blair, have you seen Nate?

Blair: Um, no. It's a blackout.

Catherine: That girl showed up. They went off somewhere together.

Blair: Honestly, Catherine, so what? If they want to be together, you can't stop them. Just deal with it.

Catherine: I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Blair: Hot young guy, aging beauty enjoying her last hurrah before the surgeries start. Tt's called a cliche?

Catherine: Is Marcus everything you could possibly hope for?

Blair: Yes, absolutely.

Catherine: Really? There's not one thing that's missing? That one thing you tell yourself you can live without? That you'd happily sacrifice for the rest? 'Cause I tell you what. You're gonna sacrifice it every day for the rest of your life. Nate makes me feel alive. I'm not gonna give that up.

Vanessa: Nate? Oh, my God.

Blair: Everyone, stay calm. I'm sure the power will be back on in a second.

Nate: Vanessa.

Catherine: Nate.

Marcus: It'll be fine.

GossipGirl: Sorry to break it to you, B, but this party just went over to the dark side.

Blair: It's a citywide blackout, but we have candles. Everything's fine.

Nate: Vanessa.

Marcus: Nate, thank goodness. Would you please tell this young lady she can't go outside in the blackout?

Vanessa: Yeah. Well, I am.

Nate: No, it's okay, Marcus. I got it. I got it. Just come with me, please.

Vanessa: I can't believe this. Here I kept thinking, "Nate's so much different than Blair and all the others," but you're just as bad.

Nate: Look, it's not that simple, okay?

Vanessa: Are you sleeping with that woman?

Nate: Yes.

Vanessa: Is that the reason you keep canceling on me?

Nate: Yes, but--

Vanessa: No, Nate. There are no "but"s. You lied to me, and you're sleeping with some Mrs. Robinson. and while on the Upper East Side that might be totally normal... I didn't sign up for some creepy love triangle with you and someone's mom.

Nate: She's giving me money.

Vanessa: Well, that's just the capper, isn't it?

Nate: No, my mom and I needed help. I just-- I had no other option.

Vanessa: Tell me everything.

Laurel: Jenny?
Jenny: Yeah, I know. I'll clean the atelier as soon as I'm finished here, okay?
Laurel: The bathrooms, too. Someone decided to give us a second look at breakfast.
Jenny: Laurel believes in her interns paying their dues.
Model: You must really want this.
Jenny: Why, 'cause for the past three months I've put up with midnight coffee runs, 15-hour days, cleaning up after the two in-house bulimics, all so that Eleanor Waldorf will spend five minutes looking at my  designs? Yeah. Yeah, I really, really do.
Model: Okay.
Jenny: Uh, I feel like it's not right. Um, hold on.
Woman: Hello. C'est a l'heure? Merci madam. Air France says Eleanor's plane's on time.
Laurel: Oh. All right, I'm gonna meet her at the penthouse. I think Blair's hosting a party there. If the A.C. guy comes, call me. Yes?
Jenny: I think there might be something wrong with the dress.
Laurel: No. This--this is what Eleanor designed.
Jenny: Really? Even--
Laurel: Did you ever see "Cinderella"?
Jenny: The cartoon? Sure.
Laurel: Remember the little birds that helped her dress? Remember how they didn't offer their opinion? Try to imagine that you're one of those birds. Can you do that?
Jenny: Yeah.
Laurel: Now fly away.

Blair: So... The flowers won't arrive until 5:00. Did you get the order from the caterers? Eleanor comes home today.

Serena: You excited she finally gets to meet Marcus?

Blair: And see why he's so wonderful? It's not often you find a man who's intelligent, sophisticated, has an appreciation for golden-age hollywood and is a gentleman to boot. You know, he hasn't pressured me about sex once. Not once.

Serena: Wow. Sounds like you really like him.

Blair: Yes, I do.

Serena: Do you see what I just did there? I expressed an interest in your relationship. Look, I know you know about me and Dan. Even Dorota told me she was happy for me.

Blair: I'm happy for you.

Serena: B, I know you don't approve of him.

Blair: True.

Serena: And I know that he's not the 22nd lord of Westmorelandshire.

Blair: Also true.

Serena: Why can't you support me?

Blair: Have you two talked about everything, all the very real reasons you broke up last year?

Serena: Well, not completely.

Blair: Well, when you do, if you're still together, I'll be happy for you. Till then, I think you're just fooling yourselves. Duchess, to what do I owe this pleasure?

Serena: Okay, I think you've got this taken care of. I'll see you tonight.

Blair: Sneaky little Nate. Yes, I know exactly the girl you're talking about. Her name is Vanessa. She lives in... Brooklyn.
