Bart: It’s a rare occasion to celebrate the merging of two families. And I couldn’t be happier to be here tonight to celebrate Lily’s acceptance of my proposal. So to my lovely bride and our growing family.

Eric: Mom looks about as happy as grandma at her last call.

Serena: I know. It seems Bart’s personality, or lack thereof – is contagious. I don’t even know how she breathes with her blouse buttoned that high.

Chuck: How glad are you to see our families merge, sis?

Serena: So glad that if you ever call me that again, it’ll be the last thing you ever say, Chuck.

Chuck: I love it – our first brother/sister squabble. I hope you’re going to make yourself available for more missed childhood memories – bathing together, for example.

…

Bart: So… Your new stepbrother told me about your problem at school. Frankly, I wasn’t surprised given your propensity for recklessness and adventure.

Serena: I’m sorry?

Bart: Don’t tell your mother, but I made a call.

Serena: You did what?

Bart: It was harder than usual. That new headmistress of yours is a real piece of work. I had to go over her head. Sorry I couldn’t get the charges completely dropped but… at least I got you a minimal sentence.

GossipGirl: One thing about being on the inside: Once you get there, you don’t always get to choose where you stand… or sit.

Chuck: I was just looking out for my family. The new Van Der Woodsen/Bass library should be completed for Eric’s graduation.

Bart: I can see that Lily and I are gonna have our hands full with the two of you.

Serena: Will you excuse me? I need some air.

GossipGirl: Sometimes you need to step outside, clear your head and remind yourself of who you are… and where you want to be.

…

Serena: Hey.

Rufus: Aren’t you supposed to be at your mom’s engagement thing?

Serena: Yeah well, I had to get out of there. It was getting a little hard to breathe, you know?

Rufus: Those parties can be that way.

Serena: So are you… packing up your music.

Rufus: Nah, I just… need to find something new to write about. And I will.

Dan: Hey. You’re a little overdressed for the study date I didn’t know we had.

Serena: You were right about everything.

Dan: You wanna talk about it?

Serena: Can I just sit here with you for a while?

Dan: Yeah.

Serena: Chaucer?

Dan: Yeah, I got a test on Friday.

Serena: Mine’s Thursday.

GossipGirl: And sometimes you have to venture outside your world in order to find yourself. As for me, I’m happy right where I am. I only wanna be with you. XOXO Gossip Girl.
