Episode Quotes


  • Blair: "You may have an Abercrombie campaign and the security code to Clooney’s castle in Lake Como but that doesn’t give you the right to try to steal someone else’s man. Now, take your American Girl hair and your pore-less skin and get out!"
  • Chuck: "You are missing one key detail. Sleeping with the enemy is hot. Why do you think I had that whole Ivanka thing?"
  • Vanessa: "Oh my god. Dan Humphrey’s been seduced by wealth. It had to happen. Even Frodo eventually gave in to the power of the ring."
  • Blair: You’re Chuck Bass.
    Chuck: I’m not Chuck Bass without you.
  • Bree: You’re Nate Archibald!
    Nate: And you’re Bree Buckley!
    Bree: You pulled my hair during Clinton’s Inaugural ball!
    Nate: And your Redneck cousins tried to waterboard me at the Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn…Good to see you again.
  • Rufus: Isn’t all this a little much?
    Dan: A little much? This makes the Four Seasons look like one season.
  • Blair: I know what you did last summer, and who. Cristiano Ronaldo? I hope you got your shots before you traveled – should I be worried?
