Blair: I have to find this recipe before my dad gets here.

Serena: Harold Waldorf’s famous pumpkin pie.

Blair: Well, it may have been Bobby Flay’s but it didn’t stop my dad from taking credit for it. It’s gonna be perfect!

Serena: Look at you. Quite the chipper sous chef.

Blair: Well, I’m in a good mood. It happens. Sometimes ‘cause I increase my lexapro, sometimes because my dad’s in town.

Serena: And sometimes mostly because things are good with a boy. You and Nate get back together?

Blair: You mean since Gossip Girl published pictures of him and some skank?

Serena: So that’s a no. What’s Chuck doing today?

Blair: Why are you asking me?

Serena: Well, you guys are friends and Blair, look, you know you can tell me anything. I’d be the last person to judge anyone.

Blair: With a good reason.

Serena: Blair, I saw you with Chuck.

GossipGirl: As per Gossip Girl’s Thanksgiving tradition, I’m trading my laptop for stovetop and for the next 16 hours, the only thing I’m dishing is seconds. When the cat’s away, the mice will play. Have fun, little rodents.

Blair: I mean, who gets wasted on Thanksgiving?

Serena: The holidays are lonely for people. I wanted to keep ‘em company. Whoo!

Blair: Your mom is freaking out, so my mom is freaking out.

Serena: What, which means you freak out? Blair, just cut the cord. Go nuts. Come on. Let’s do shots. Come on!

Blair: I told Lily that you were buying a pie.

Serena: Oh! Pie.

Blair: Where is your purse?

Serena: My purse…

Blair: Oh, great. All right. You stay here, okay? I’m gonna go look. Don’t drink or hit on anything.

Dan: Pie’s been secured. Thanksgiving no longer needs to be canceled, all right? Um… Hey mom, you know, I need to go. I’m sorry. Bye. Oh, man.

Cab driver: Hey! What are you doing?

Dan: Hey, right of way, pal.

Cab driver: Screw you, buddy!

Dan: Hey, excuse me. Do you need like a crossing guard or a cab maybe?

Serena: Oh, pie.

Dan: It’s more like roadkill now, but… better it than you, right? I’m Dan… Humphrey.

Serena: Hi.

Dan: Hi. I don’t know… we met last year. You might not remember. Yeah, you probably don’t but look, you should be more careful.

Blair: You need to keep your hands off of her.

Serena: Blair!

Blair: Trying to take advantage of her on the holidays. Come on. Let’s go, Serena.

Serena: Bye, Dave.

Dan: Bye. Bye. Bye. Serena.

GossipGirl: Happy birthday to who? Forget cake and ice-cream. I’m saving room for just desserts. Looks like Chuck’s wish might come true.

…

Isabel: Did you guys see this? I can’t believe Gossip Girl would do this to her.

Serena: Maybe she’s wrong. It wouldn’t be the first time. Blair, hey, I’m sorry. I never would’ve thought that this would happen.

Isabel: I hope the slut gave him herpes.

Kati: Cheater totally deserves herpes.

Blair: He isn’t cheating. We broke up, okay? He was gonna get back together with me, but only so my mom would help his dad. You satisfied?

Serena: Blair. Blair, stop! You can talk to me.

Blair: We ended it. I wanted to tell you, but part of me thought that if I didn’t say it out loud, then it wouldn’t be true.

Serena: Shh, shh.

Blair: It was my birthday wish for us to get back together. Now I think it’s really over.

Serena: Oh, Blair, shh.

Blair: Is it okay, if I just wanna be alone for a second?

…

Blair: I’m not in the mood, Chuck. This is pretty much the worst birthday ever.

Chuck: Maybe it can be salvaged.

Blair: Is that our sex tape? It’s the Erickson Beamon necklace. No, I couldn’t.

Chuck: Yes, you can. Something this beautiful deserves to be seen on someone worthy of its beauty. I really am sorry.

GossipGirl: Spotted: B turning a year older, but not necessarily wiser. Guess Chuck’s the gift that keeps on giving. Blow out your candles, B. This will be better in the dark. XOXO Gossip Girl.

Vanessa: Is your friend gonna be okay?

Serena: I’m not sure. She just broke up with her boyfriend, and then they got back together and then, um, I don’t know what just happened.

Vanessa: Well, she’s lucky to have you. Being a good friend is…

Serena: Challenging at times?

Vanessa: Hey, if I’ve been acting however I’ve been acting, it’s just ‘cause I’m protective of Dan.

Serena: And I’m protective of our relationship. I’ve never actually had one before. You guys just have everything in common, and, um, I’m just getting to know him. So, you know, it can be a little intimidating.

Vanessa: Talk about intimidating. You just admitted that you find me intimidating, so how cool does that make you?

Serena: I think you forgot to mention my superior “Guitar Hero” skills.

Vanessa: No, I didn’t forget that. At the next party, I’m asking for a rematch, ‘cause you were about to get smoked.

Serena: Oh, really? Well, I think the only thing getting smoked is you pale imitation of a guitar player.

Vanessa: Hey, I’m a golden god.

Serena: Oh really? Are you now?

Dan: Hey, am I interrupting anything?

Serena: Um, actually, you are.

Vanessa: I’ll give you guys a moment.

Dan: Might that have been bonding that I just walked in on?

Serena: A little bit.

Dan: Yeah? What were you talking about?

Serena: Nothing you need to know about.

Dan: Oh, so you have secrets now. I see. Well, listen, if you want to get out of here, Vanessa can only fit two on her Vespa but I can walk.

Serena: Oh, well, you know I love me a Vespa but I think I gotta stay here and be with Blair. You’re not the only one with a best friend.

Dan: Yeah.

Jenny: I heard about your dad. I’m sorry. Well, if it makes you feel any better, my family’s not doing that great right now either. You know, I actually didn’t want to come to Blair’s party as much as I just wanted to get out of my house.

Nate: Yeah, I know the feeling. Blair’s birthday present.

Jenny: Your mother’s ring. Blair told me about it. It’s beautiful.

Nate: I’m, uh, supposed to give it to Blair tonight.

Jenny: I’m guessing that wasn’t your idea.

Nate: Blair and I broke up, and I know it was the right thing to do. I mean, we just shouldn’t be together right now, you know?

Jenny: Sounds like you’re pretty sure of that.

Nate: I am, and as much as I wanna do the right thing and help out my parents. It’s just… it’s not fair. I mean, to me or to Blair. I just think that if I do this now, when does it ever stop?

Jenny: It’ll only stop when you stop it.

(We hear: Eskimo Joe - How does it feel)

Seventeen Candles - s01e08 - Serena

Serena: I can’t believe you didn’t tell me your mom came home.

Dan: I’m sorry, really.

Serena: What? You didn’t think it was important?

Dan: No, no, of course it is.

Serena: Why bother? You already told Vanessa.

Dan: I tell Vanessa everything, all right? I have since I was 6.

Serena: Well, you’re not 6 anymore, Dan. I just… I was just hoping that I would be the person that you would wanna tell these things to now.

Dan: I want you to be that person, too. Really, I do. This whole girlfriend thing is very new to me, you know? I just… don’t know the rules yet.

Serena: Well, Blair says in a relationship, the best friend is…

Dan: Serena, you’re really taking relationship advice from Blair?

Serena: Good point. Look, I just don’t want to have to compete with Vanessa. You know, with “Guitar Hero”, okay. I’m way more awesome, if you didn’t happen to notice. But, um, not with you.

Dan: That’s fair. All right, so tomorrow, you and I will go somewhere together, just the two of us, and we will talk about my family in excrutiating detail until you are… you’re just so bored, you’re begging for Vanessa to take over, all right? How’s that sound?

Serena: Perfect. Come on. It’s almost midnight.

Dan: What happens at midnight?

Chuck: Are you ready for your present? Ow! If you wanted to play rough, all you had to do was ask.

Woman: Hi.

Blair: Hi. Hello there. Happy birthday to me. You nauseate me.

Chuck: All this talk about how you have to be with Nate or the world will end. Face it. It’s over.

Blair: You sound like a jealous boyfriend.

Chuck: Yeah, right. You wish.

Blair: No. You wish.

Chuck: Please. You forget who you’re talking to.

Blair: So do you. Do you… like me?

Chuck: Define “like”.

Blair: You have got to be kidding. I do not believe this.

Chuck: How do you think I feel? I haven’t slept. I feel sick, like there’s something in my stomach, fluttering.

Blair: Butterflies? No, no, no, no. This is not… not happening.

Chuck: Believe me, no one is more surprised or ashamed than I am.

Blair: Chuck, you know that I adore all of God’s creatures and the metaphors that they inspire, but… those butterflies have got to be murdered.

Chuck: Fine. It wasn’t that great anyway.

Blair: Thanks.

Jenny: Hey, dad.

Rufus: Hi, honey. How was Hudson? Your mother must have been kind of surprised to see you.

Alison: Yeah, she was. Hi, Rufus.

Rufus: Alison. What are you doing here?

Jenny: Well, I asked her to come. You know, I thought you guys could… Talk. Or not. Okay, dad, I know it wasn’t my place to ask mom to come back…

Rufus: Jenny.

Jenny: It’s your life. I get that, but it’s my life, too, and it’s dan’s, and I just felt that nothing’s ever gonna change if someone doesn’t do something.

Rufus: Jenny! Stop. Breathe. I’m not angry.

Jenny: You’re not?

Rufus: Not at you.

Jenny: While you can’t get un-angry at mom if she’s in Hudson, and you’re here, dad, I mean, nothing’s ever gonna change if you’re not in the same room. Can’t you give it a chance?

Rufus: Not on an empty stomach. Come. I’ll make us breakfast.

Alison: Who wants waffles? I mean, you do still like waffles, right, Rufus?

Rufus: You know me, Al. I’m a loyal guy. Once I commit to something, I stick with it.

Jenny: I’ll get the syrup.

Serena: I gotta say…

Dan: No need to say anything.

Girl: God, I hate people in love.

Vanessa: Wow, awkward.

Dan: Vanessa?

Serena: Serena, Dan.

Dan: No, no, no, no. Vanessa’s here.

Girl: Lovebirds ready to order?

Vanessa: Oh, I’ll take ‘em. Hi.

Dan: Hi. So, uh, you work here now?

Vanessa: I did mention that, but you’ve been distracted. Vanessa. Hi. Nice to see you.

Serena: This time you’re seeing less of me.

Vanessa: Sorry about that. Walking in when you were, you know... So you guys are up early. What’d you do last night? Oh, my god. I totally didn’t mean to pry.

Dan: You’re not prying.

Serena: Why would you think you’re prying?

Vanessa and Dan: No reason.

Serena: Did you tell her?

Dan: What? No. What’s to tell?

Vanessa: I know nothing, but if you guys did the thing I know nothing about, then I would totally support that.

Dan: Thanks, Vanessa. Good to know in the event that should happen.

Vanessa: Oh, meaning it didn’t happen?

Dan: Meaning I don’t even know what we’re talking about right now.

Serena: I know I’m lost.

Vanessa: And I should get lost. First day. I have lots of tables.

Dan: Clearly. So, Vanessa works here now.

Serena: Yeah, we should make this our regular spot.

GossipGirl: According to the Catholic Church, mortal sin can only be absolved through the sacred act of confession, but it looks like a certain W.A.S.P. Princess has recently found herself desperately in need of a little unburdening. And who is the man upstairs to discriminate?

Blair: Forgive me, father, for I have sinned. It’s been… a while since my last confession.

Priest: What troubles you, my child?

Blair: After being broken up with my boyfriend for exactly 20 minutes, I… succumbed to inebriation, performed at a speakeasy and surrendered my virtue to a self-absorbed ass. The only good news is that he’s a total pig who will act like it never happened. Thank God. Sorry. Truthfully, I’m not even catholic.

Priest: You don’t say.

Blair: But losing my virginity to Chuck Bass? None of my friends will ever understand. I’m ready for my punishment. Whatever you and God think is fair… flogging, fasting, putting that thing with the teeth around my thigh, like Silas.

Priest: How about some food for thought instead? Don’t drink. Keep your clothes on. Try avoiding those who might cause you to stray.

Blair: Oh, I plan to. Thank you, father. It was very good advice. You don’t grant birthday wishes, do you?

Priest: I’m a priest, not a genie.

Blair: Well, the next time you talk to him, would you ask him to send my boyfriend back to me?

Blair: Thanks for the lift home.

Chuck: You were… amazing up there. Are you sure?

With me – Sum 41

I don't want this moment to ever end,
Where everything's nothing without you.
I'd wait here forever just to, to see you smile,
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you.

Through it all, I've made my mistakes.
I stumble and fall, but I mean these words.

I want you to know,
With everything I won't let this go.
These words are my heart and soul.
I'll hold on to this moment, you know,
As I bleed my heart out to show,
And I won't let go.

Blair: What are you doing?

Nate: I’m going to Victrola. I promised Chuck. It’s important to him.

Blair: I saw your father get arrested. Why didn’t you come to me? I would’ve listened.

Nate: I’ve tried, Blair. But every time I try, something’s got your attention… a dinner party, you know, a masked ball.

Blair: Yeah, let’s talk about that masked ball. While I was waiting for you to find me so that we could finally be together, you were confessing your feelings and kissing Serena. I thought I was doing everything right.

Nate: It’s not your fault.

Blair: Do you love me? You should deal with your father. He needs you. You know what? I don’t.

….

Chuck: Where’s Nate?

Blair: I think we just broke up.

Chuck: What?

Blair: I don’t want to talk about it. I just want to escape. That’s what this place is for, right?

Chuck: I know you don’t want to talk about what happened, but…

Blair: Relief. I feel relief. You know, I got moves.

Chuck: Really? Then why don’t you get up there?

Blair: No, I’m just saying, I have moves.

Chuck: Come on, you’re ten times hotter than any of those girls.

Blair: I know what you’re doing, Bass. You really don’t think I’d go up there.

Chuck: I know you won’t do it.

Blair: Guard my drink.

GossipGirl: As you might have guessed, Upper East Siders, prohibition never stood a chance against exhibition. It’s human nature to be free. And no matter how long you try to be good, you can’t keep a bad girl down.
