Quotes 

• Blair Waldorf : Serena, can we talk?

  Serena van der Woodsen : About what? How you tried to publicly humiliate me?

  Blair Waldorf : You know about the dress?

  Serena van der Woodsen : Yeah, Laurel told me, she said it was an accident. Clearly she doesn't know you.

  Blair Waldorf : I'm sorry, I was hurt,okay?You, you blew off our most beloved tradition.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Just get over it,Blair.

  Blair Waldorf : Excuse me?

  Serena van der Woodsen : My whole life I have been bending over backwards to protect your feelings, and you know what? It's not my fault you're so insecure.

  Blair Waldorf : And I'm sure it's not your fault you're so conceited.

  Serena van der Woodsen : I'm just tired of trying to hold myself back so I don't outshine you.

  Blair Waldorf : Oh, my God, can you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth?

  Serena van der Woodsen : It's just the truth. From now on, I'm gonna be who I am and if you can support that and not be threatened and competitive, then great, if not...

  [Serena walks away] 

• Blair Waldorf : Don't ever go to high school, Dorota! The girls there are spoiled, stupid, and ungrateful. One snapshot with a socialite and it's all Serena, Serena, Serena!

  Dorota : Some tea will calm your nerves.

  Blair Waldorf : Don't they know that without me they'd never see the inside of a fashion tent? They'd be stuck behind the barricades with PETA. In fact I will leave them outside with PETA, maybe that'll teach them some manners.

  [Blair looks down at her seating chart for the fashion show] 

  Blair Waldorf : Something's different. Who put Serena and that Poppy person in the front row and all these socialites? Someone changed this chart, the chart my mother asked me to do, who changed it?

  Dorota : Eleanor said Ms. Jenny change.

  Blair Waldorf : Jenny Humphrey? I guess she didn't learn her lesson last year. Looks like someone needs a refresher course.

• Blair Waldorf : What do you want?

  Serena van der Woodsen : I tried to reach you all night why haven't you returned any of my calls?

  Blair Waldorf : What is there to say? You've only taken over the girls at school and abandoned our oldest tradition to go to my mother's show with a complete stranger.

  Serena van der Woodsen : First of all, I didn't take over the girls at school.

  Blair Waldorf : Are you really gonna pretend like you don't notice what's been going on?

  Serena van der Woodsen : What? These girls are like hummingbirds, they move from flower to flower, they'll be on to someone else next week and then back to you, it's not a big deal.

  Blair Waldorf : And I suppose it's not a big deal that your sitting front row at my mother's show either?

  Serena van der Woodsen : She asked me to do it as a favor.

  Blair Waldorf : Oh and how could you possibly dissapoint my mother? Though you have no problem screwing over your best friend?

  Serena van der Woodsen : Fine I won't go!

  Blair Waldorf : Good!

  Serena van der Woodsen : And then Poppy won't go and her friends won't go and then you can explain to your mother why she has an empty front row, would that make you happy?

  Blair Waldorf : At least I won't have to watch the next episode of the Serena show.

  Serena van der Woodsen : You know I was coming over here to invite you to hang out with us.

  Blair Waldorf : Oh how generous Serena! I should feel so blessed that you would include me in your little group!

  Serena van der Woodsen : You know what Blair I am gonna go to that show and I'm gonna sit front row and I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it!

• 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] 

• Serena van der Woodsen : [as the posse squeals about Serena's magazine appearance]  Oh, gosh, I haven't even see that. Blair, where are you going?

  Blair Waldorf : I'll just leave you to your fans.

• Blair Waldorf : [trying to put Jenny in her place]  Don't you have socks to darn?
