Laurel : Eleanor, this seating chart is weak. Where are all our "It" girls?
Eleanor Waldorf : They're there. Look!
Laurel : Kirsten Dunst? So 2007. Her rehab stint barely made the radar.
[shakes her head]
Eleanor Waldorf : Blair says we can't get A-list girls because our show is at the same time as Marc Jacobs'.
Laurel : But those girls bring press. Without them...
[shakes her head]
Jenny Humphrey : Eleanor, Serena has some new friends.
[shows them the photo of Serena with Poppy Lifton]
Jenny Humphrey : I bet she could help.
Eleanor Waldorf : New friends?
[shakes her head]

Blair Waldorf : Mom!
Eleanor Waldorf : Good, you saw the changes we made to the chart. Aren't they marvelous?
Blair Waldorf : That's not quite the word I was going to use.
Eleanor Waldorf : Jenny had the inspired idea of putting Serena and Poppy Lifton and her friends in the front row.
Blair Waldorf : But... I already told you, Poppy and her crowd never miss the Marc Jacob's show. And Serena would never watch a show from anywhere but the backstage without me. It's our ritual. None of them will agree to this.
Eleanor Waldorf : I spoke to Lily. They already have.
Blair Waldorf : Even Serena?
Eleanor Waldorf : Absolutely! Marc is going to eat his grunge corduroys.
Blair Waldorf : And all this thanks to little Jenny Humphrey.
Eleanor Waldorf : [sighs] The girl's quite a talent. She shouldered most of the workload at the atelier this week.
Blair Waldorf : How does she manage that after school?
Eleanor Waldorf : Jenny doesn't... go to school. She got an, uh...
Blair Waldorf : Independent study?
Eleanor Waldorf : [snaps fingers] Independent-study thing this semester.
Blair Waldorf : [incredulous tone] A tenth-grader with independant study?
Eleanor Waldorf : Mm-hmm.
Blair Waldorf : I just realized I forgot a book at school.
[leaves]
Eleanor Waldorf : [calling after Blair] Have fun, honey.
[wouldn't understand the irony of her words]
Blair Waldorf : [passes Jenny] You never learn, do you?
Jenny Humphrey : Excuse me?
Blair Waldorf : Great job ruining my seating chart.
Jenny Humphrey : Your seating chart? Blair, I didn't know.
Blair Waldorf : Well, now you do.
[vindictive glance over her shoulder as she leaves]

Jenny Humphrey : It's not as bad as it looks. A girl in my class was e-mailing me my assignments. And I was keeping up with all of my reading.
[shakes her head]
Jenny Humphrey : I just needed to get through Fashion Week and it would have been fine.
Rufus Humphrey : Being a liar and a truant... is not what I would call fine.
Jenny Humphrey : Look, I'm sorry that I cut school and that I lied.
[Rufus nods]
Jenny Humphrey : It's just... I wanted to help Eleanor so badly... and I did. Dad, I'm really good at this.
Rufus Humphrey : I hope you're as good at groveling. I spent thirty minutes on the phone this morning with headmistress Queller convincing her that you shouldn't get expelled. I did my part, now you're gonna do yours.
[Jenny raises her brows quizzically]
Rufus Humphrey : You have an appointment at her office this afternoon. To prove you're an honorable person worthy of a second chance.
[Jenny just stares]
Rufus Humphrey : Go get dressed.
Jenny Humphrey : Dad... It's a Saturday.
Rufus Humphrey : So be glad she's willing to come on her day off.
[Jenny seethes, then dashes off]
