Vanessa: You’re not autographing those and selling them on Ebay, are you?

Dan: No, no. No. I’m just checking out some of the previous publishees and I’m in great company here. It’s “The New Yorker” V. how can I top this? I can’t, really. Unless I rig the Oscars for one of your documentaries.

Vanessa: You got in on your own merit. The only gift I gave you was to lick a stamp and as for me, the annual Dan Humphrey Christmas CD mix is more than enough.

Dan: All right, yeah.

Blair: I can’t believe you’re okay with this.

Eleanor: Who said I am okay with this? What am I supposed to do, make a scene? Behave like some pathetic, scorned wife? No.

Blair: Roman does not even know how to ice-skate. Can’t you escort him out of the park on your way to the meeting? Maybe drop him at a nail salon?

Eleanor: I cannot bother myself trying to wrestle Roman away from you. I have to mentally prepare. I am meeting with the CEO of Victoria’s Secret, after all.

Roman: Victoria’s Secret?

Eleanor: Yes, I’m designing a line of retro-chic sleepwear and lingerie and I…

Blair: I’m looking forward to the samples. We’re all very proud. In fact, mom, why don’t you tell Roman all about it?

Eleanor: Oh, yes.

Lily: Blair. Oh, happy holidays.

Blair: Happy holidays! Mrs.Van Der Woodsen, Mr.Bass, I didn’t think that you were still in town. I figured that you were with…

Bart: With Charles? No. Sadly, I am stack here on business while he suns himself at my hotel in Monaco. I have my staff keeping an eye on him and I’ll join him for New Year’s.

Blair: Oh, right. I was wondering why he’d been so quiet and Monaco answers my question.

Bart: Yeah.

Blair: Lovely to see you two. Bye.

Serena: Blair, there you are.

Blair: I can’t talk right now, Serena. I’m late and I have…

Serena: A huge sweet tooth?

Blair: They’re for my dad and me. We get them every year and he landed from Paris 27 minutes ago.

Serena: Oh, then vite, vite!? Come on, I said vite!

Rufus: Yeah. Hello.

Alison: Eleanor’s?

Rufus: Oh, this is my wife, Alison.

Alison: Hi.

Bart: How do you do?

Lily: Well, it’s lovely to see you both. Excuse me, please.

GossipGirl: Hey, Upper East Siders. It’s Christmas in New York and along with the season comes the Constance Billard/St. Jude’s bazaar, where the only thing bizarre are the donated items for sale.

Dan: How about an antique butter churn?

Serena: Oh, my gosh. That would go so well with my loom. I know what I’m getting you for Christmas now.

Dan: Oh, for when I move to Siberia? No. Come on. New York hardly ever gets cold anymore and it never snows. Who wants chestnuts roasted on an open fire when it feels like Florida?

Serena: Okay, global warming Grinch.

Dan: I’m just saying, Christmas should be white and snowy. I’d even settle for Manhattan slush.

Vanessa: There you are.

Dan: Hey, Vanessa. What are you doing here?

Serena: Hey.

Vanessa: Merry Christmas.

Chuck: Hey. Have you seen Blair Waldorf?

Woman: Up there.

Blair: It was so hot how you punched Carter out. I’d never seen you do anything like that before.

GossipGirl: Spotted: Chuck Bass losing something no one knew he had to begin with… his heart. It’s often said that no matter the truth, people see what they want to see. Some people might take a step back and find out they were looking at the same big picture all along. Some people might see that their lies have almos caught up to them. Some people may see what was there all along. And then there are those other people… the ones who run as far as they can, so they don’t have to look at themselves.

Driver: Where to, Mr. Bass?

Chuck: The airport.

GossipGirl: And as for me? I can see clearly now. XOXO Gossip Girl.

Blair: Have you seen Nate?
Chuck: Nate was asked to leave but here I am.
Blair: I know that look. That's your look when your plan falls into place. You're enjoying this. You knew Carter was going to my house. You tipped off Gossip Girl. You ruined my cotillion on purpose. You did all this for your own enjoyment and didn't care what it would do to me, which is exactly why you and I could never work.
Chuck: Wait. Slow down there, Waldorf.
Blair: You make me sick. This thing between us. It's over for good.

Carter: It's okay. It doesn't hurt nearly as bad as waking up that morning in Santorini and finding you'd jumped on a boat.
Serena: Yeah well, that night wasn't exactly what I signed up for either. The whole thing caught me a bit by surprise.
Carter: No, I get it, which is why I was surprised when your grandmother called me last week.
Serena: Wait. Last week? I wasn't even going to cotillion last week.
Carter: Yeah, but Cece said she thought you'd change your mind.

Blair: You don’t understand. It was custom-made.

Serena: Blair, it’s okay.

Blair: My mom is gonna be angry.

Serena: Jenny! Jenny, hey, we need you. Please?

Jenny: I have to go. I have my mom’s thing.

Blair: Jenny, fix my dress and all is forgiven.

…

Jenny: Mom, I’m sorry. I thought I could make it in time.

Alison: Yeah, I know. I accept your apology but it doesn’t really make it okay. Sweetie. Honey, as you get older, every choice that you make defines who you’re gonna turn into, so rather than apologizing to me, you need to look at yourself and ask if you like the person you’re becoming.

Lily: Oh, you make a fool of the presenter, then you start a brawl, I mean, what’s next, Serena? “Girls gone wild”?

Serena: Serena Van Der Woodsen wants to work for the junior league and have two children?

Lily: It’s a society ball, Serena. You have to represent yourself well.

Serena: How is it representing myself well if it’s all lies? What happened to you between our talk and now? I did it because I knew how important it was for you and grandma and you said that if I did it, I could be myself. You don’t really want that, do you?

Lily: No, it’s not entirely true.

Serena: All you care about when people look at me is what they think of you. How am I supposed to accept myself if my own mother doesn’t accept me?

Lily: Oh, honey. Of course I accept you.

Serena: No, you don’t but let me tell you something. If I ever do have those two children, I would never do this to them. I would accept them for who they are, including who they date, no matter what, and I’d make sure they damn well know it.

Man: Thanks so much for your time, Miss Waldorf. I guess I’ll see you and the Prince later tonight.

Blair: Actually, I’m not going with Prince anymore. I’m going with Nate Archibald. Given our history, it was only right. He is the perfect gentleman, the perfect date.

Chuck: Chuck Bass.

Man: Hi, John Mayberry. “New York Times”.

Chuck: I’d just like to say how proud I am of Miss Waldorf and her commitment to Mr. Archibald even though he ruined her 17^th birthday and slept with…

Blair: Thank you. That was great, right?

Man: Take care.

Blair: All right. Have a good one. What was that?

Chuck: I should ask you the same question. “Perfect gentleman”? “Perfect date”? That broken record was a hit last year. Get with the times. He bores…

Blair: You almost made a fool of me in front of New York Times, which proves my very point: you can’t be trusted. Nate is a gentleman. He would never cause a scene.

Chuck: Never get your blood going either.

Blair: Speaking of going, that’s what you should do. Carter Baizen is on his way here right now.

Chuck: What? What the hell are you doing with Carter Baizen?

Blair: He left his jacket here yesterday and I’d rather you be gone when he got here. There’s been enough scenes for today.

Cece: Do you like it here, Mr. Humphrey?

Dan: Well, it’s a little bit like a museum, a little cold, although the water pressure is unparalleled.

Cece: That’s not what I meant, but of course, you would make a joke, that goes to my point.

Dan: Excuse me? Did I miss something here?

Cece: Oh, yes. The way you feel? It never goes away. It just gets worse.

Dan: I’m sorry. I don’t quite…

Cece: You’ll always use your dessert fork for your entrée. You’ll always feel underdressed, no matter what you wear, and at dinner parties, it will be as if there’s a language that sounds like english, and you think you speak it, but they don’t hear you, and you don’t understand them. As time passes, you’ll feel the people never see you when they look at you but wonder really whether you’re Serena’s whim or her charity case, until the day comes when you realise that girls like Serena don’t end up with Dan Humphrey. They end up with the Carters of the world, and, um, people like you they turn into coctail party anecdotes of their foolish youth. So why don’t you, uh, give it up and spare yourself the pain, hmm? I’m sure Serena will understand.

GossipGirl: This just in we hear there’s a cold war brewing between lonely boy and a certain blue blood. We never thought we’d say this ourselves…

Serena: There you are. What’s going on?

Dan: I’ll tell you what’s going on. I just became your escort to the ball.

Serena: Ooh!

Alison: Look… I know that my coming back has been rocky… but I can’t keep being afraid that if I act more like your mother and less like your friend, that I’m gonna lose you.

Jenny: If you were still in Hudson, I’d be able to go.

Alison: Well, I am not there. I am here and I don’t really care if that make you happy or unhappy. I’m still your mother. You can come to my show tomorrow and then you are grounded for a week.

Jenny: What?! Come on, mom. That’s so unfair!

Hi, Society - s01e10 - Serena

Hi, Society - s01e10 - Serena by thegossiplook featuring glitter high heels

Serena: Thank you so much for being so understanding.

Dan: Oh, come on. I would do anything for an ill grandparent and besides, my mom has her art opening, so we’re both doing things for our families.

Serena: Well, my thing isn’t without conditions, believe me. I had a long talk with my mom and I said if I’m gonna do this, then I’m gonna be myself in every possible way.

Dan: Well then, can you promise me being yourself as they auction you off, that you won’t go for anything less than a million dollars?

Serena: Okay. Did you get that out of your system?

Dan: Yeah, I think I’m good.

Lily: And your father is okay with you volunteering as well?

Alison: Excuse me. Jenny.

Lily: Alison. Didn’t expect to see you… here.

Alison: That’s me, unexpected.

Jenny: Mom, can I talk to you for a minute?

Alison: No, sweetie, we’ll have a plenty time to talk about later.

Lily: You know what? It is so nice of you to let Jenny come to our little event. You know, cotillions really are instructive. They teach young girls good social graces…

Alison: Well, then I’m sure she’ll learn a lot. I’m gonna go.

Jenny: Um, I’ll come with you.

Alison: No need. I’ll see you later.

Man: Is everything all right, Mr. Archibald?

Nate: Oh yes, everything’s fine. It’s just my… my date. She’s never late, and she likes to have final approval.

Blair: Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry. My cappuccino was decaf and I couldn’t find my phone. It took forever to get a cab.

Nate: But you live up the street.

Blair: I wasn’t home.

Nate: Well, everything’s taken care of. I’ll pick you up at 5:00 in the car. I got that Laurent Perrier you like. I also thought we’d stop by the Modern afterwards for dessert ‘cause that’s your favourite, Blair.

Blair: Oh, we don’t have to go anywhere afterwards.

Nate: It’s fine. Sorry. Who’s texting you so much?

Blair: Serena. I gotta go back to my house. My mom was supposed to throw this tea for Serena’s grandmother and she had to jet to Paris at the last minute, so it’s all on me.

Nate: Okay hey, I’ll stop by and help you out.

Blair: It’s all right. I got it. Thanks.

Nate: Who are you and what did you do with Blair Waldorf?

Blair: Not bad, Archibald. I almost forgot how handsome you are.

GossipGirl: Spotted: Nate Archibald learning you don’t know a good thing till it’s gone and found someone else.

Jenny: I don’t understand why you don’t get this, okay? A depudante ball is all a girl could ask for. It’s gorgeous and formal and totally legendary.

Dan: Don’t forget out of touch and totally classist.

Jenny: And if that’s how you feel, then why are you even going?

Dan: I’m not going and neither is Serena, actually. I’m just going to meet her grandmother to make a good impression and… take off before I put foot in my mouth like I usually do.

Serena: Well, she doesn’t really like to stand on since I found out she used to be my boyfriend’s father’s biggest fan.

Blair: Yeah.

Serena: Ew! It sounds so gross when you say it out loud.

Blair: Silly me. Here I actually thought you wanted to go.

Serena: I’m here with you, aren’t I?

Blair: Yeah, only ‘cause your grandmother’s meeting you here.

Serena: Blah-blah-blah.

Hi, Society - s01e10 - Blair by thegossiplook featuring printed tops

GossipGirl: Hey, Upper East Siders, it’s that time of year, when the mere act of descending a staircase means you’re a woman. That’s right: debutante season. And from what we hear, there’s been some changes to the lineup.

Blair: I’m actually glad I’m going with Prince Theodore instead of Nate. The further we get from the break-up, the more self-involved I see he was. Always so brooding, so tortured. Ugh. A girl wants Romeo, not Hamlet.

Serena: Romeo died.

Blair: Yeah, but he died for something exciting and I want my debutante ball to be something to die for.

…

Blair: All I get with Nate is some rose in the back of a town car but with the Prince, I get a security detail and a high-speed chase to the Pierre after it’s over.

Serena: Ooh! I can see you on the cover or “Hello!” already.

Blair: Yeah, well, try the “New York Times”. They’ve chosen me for “a night out with” and I’m gonna give them the most perfect night out of the year.

The annual Cotillion Ball is about to take place. Blair is not going with Nate, but she finds herself being featured in The New York Times and is enjoying her secret affair with Chuck. Serena is not going, so her grandmother, CeCe, shows up to change her mind. Jenny volunteers for the ball and Lily takes her under her wing. But the night of The Cotillion is the night of Alison's first art opening, and Rufus and Alison say Jenny cannot attend the ball. Jenny decides to defy them both. Refreshed by Blair's newly buoyant attitude, Nate asks her to The Cotillion and she says yes, which makes Chuck jealous. CeCe tells Lily and Serena that she is sick and her last dying wish is to see Serena go to the ball, and she wants Serena to go with Carter Baizen. CeCe insults Dan and offers to pay Rufus off to convince Dan not to go with Serena. Dan learns of this and tells Serena that he does not think very highly of CeCe, which results in a huge fight between them. Serena decides to go to the ball with Carter. Chuck manipulates Nate into thinking Carter is having an affair with Blair, so Nate punches Carter at the ball.

Blair: Well, I was going to wait till after dinner but I guess now is as good a time as any. Did you call daddy and say that I didn’t want to see him this thanksgiving?

Eleanor: Of course not. What a ridiculous accusation.

Blair: So you didn’t tell him that I was so angry at him for leaving, that I didn’t ever want to talk to him today? You had no right to uninvite him.

Eleanor: When are you gonna get it through your head? He left us.

Blair: He didn’t leave us. He left you.

Eleanor: That’s enough. That’s enough. If you want to take this up with me, we can discuss it later after our guests have left. Right now you either eat or you leave the table.

Blair: I told you, I’m not hungry.

Eleanor: Or maybe dessert will change your mind.

Blair: Where’s daddy’s pie?

Eleanor: Hmm?

Blair: I don’t see his pumpkin pie.

Eleanor: Well, there were so many delicious choices coming from the caterer, we just sent that one down to the doorman. What is thanksgiving after all, hmm? Now choose one of those amazing desserts.

Jenny: No. I never should have asked mom to come home but I didn’t see this coming.

Dan: Who could’ve? Don’t worry about it.

Jenny: It’s so weird to think that our parents had lives before us, you know?

Dan: I know, or that they had lives before each other, huh?

Jenny: Yeah, Lily seemed pretty upset. I wonder what happened while we were gone.

Dan: I don’t know but it looks like we’re about to find out.

Rufus: Hey! Who’s in the mood for a little Humphrey family scrimmage? What’ll it be? Kids againgst the parents? Boys against the girls?

Jenny: Oh, definitely. Girls against the boys because last year I got burned by Dan’s weak forward pass.

Dan: Hey, I was nursing a rotator cuff injury from aught-5.

Jenny: Come on, mom. Let’s go work out our plays.

Alison: Yep.

Dan: So dad, not that I’m mad exactly, but not telling me about Serena’s mom was extremely uncool.

Rufus: I should’ve said something, I know. And I’m sorry.

Dan: Given the ick factor alone, I would say that you set my progress back by at least several months.

Rufus: Oh, come on. You’re Humphrey man. No daughter of Lily’s could ever resist.

Dan: How’d you leave it back there with her?

Rufus: Well, I wouldn’t be expecting Lil over for dinner anytime soon. Your mom and I need to focus on the future, not the past. That’s a lot easier for all of us without her around.

Dan: Well… well, let’s play with the old pigskin then.

Alison: I have been killing myself trying to make up for what happened in Hundson.

Rufus: Which is not an overreaction, I might add.

Alison: And then I find out that the two of you are making out at theme parties?

Lily: Oh, it was hardly making out and there’s explanation.

Lily: Well, I don’t know what you’re complaining about. I’m just trying to provide my family with a home-cooked meal.

Eric: You don’t know how to cook.

Lily: Well, don’t blame me. Talk to your sister. She’s the one that got us exiled from the Waldorf’s.

Serena: Oh, I’m sorry.

Eric: And even if you did cook, we don’t have an oven.

Lily: Preaching to the converted, Eric. Look, we’ll just pick up a few things and try to make do.

Eric: Like Peking duck on thanksgiving.

Lily: Hmm, not a bad idea.

Serena: No, mom.

Lily: All the other shops are closed. There’s nothing wrong with having chinese food on thanksgiving.

Serena: What?
