■ MUCH 'I DO' ABOUT NOTHING BEST QUOTES
  • Blair: (to Georgina) Haven't you heard? I'm the crazy ***** around here.
  • Chuck: (to Nate) Look, I know you hate me. I was in love with Blair, and I'm sorry. We do not have time to argue about this.
  • Blair: (referencing her vengeance on Georgina) Dan Humphrey actually lent a hand, it was nice to see him get his dirty for once. Not sure how much fun he had, though. No one ever enjoys their first time.
    Chuck: Except you. Save me a dance?
  • Rufus: I just got the call. Lincoln Hawk is hitting the road. We're opening for The Breeders. I guess that Luscious Jackson reunion didn't work out.
  • Chuck: Let's take it slow this time. Do it right.
    Blair: (stunned) Ugh... Chuck Bass is a romantic, who knew?
    Chuck : Now you do, and that's all that matters.
  • Dan: (to Serena) I get it. "Hey I killed someone and I'm being blackmailed by a crazy girl pretending to be someone else" doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
  • Lily: Rufus, what are you doing here? I thought we had security.
    Rufus: You want them to throw me out?
    Lily: Well I'd like the option considering how much I'm paying them.
  • Nate: (to Chuck, referring to Blair) So you said you loved her. That's ah... well, never heard you say that before. About anyone.
  • Blair: (referring to Chuck) What can I say? He brings out the worst in me. And weirdly, I think I bring out the best in him. He's been a perfect gentleman this whole week.
  • Gossip Girl: The only thing feared by the spawn of Satan, Mom and Dad. Leave it to Blair Waldorf to know that ******* don't just happen, they're made. By parents even more wicked than their offspring.
  • Blair: (to Vanessa) I just feel sorry for you. Dating an Archibald is a tortured process. The endless supply of family drama, the fact that he never really got over Serena... Though, falling for someone who's in love with Serena, you already know how that feels, don't you?
