Blake Lively: Serena van der Woodsen

Quotes 

• Serena van der Woodsen : So Kati mentioned something about a custom-made corset, and I hear there are wigs involved?

  Blair Waldorf : It's a masquerade. You have to conceal your identity, but I do have something special planned for Nate tonight. It's a game. It's a scavenger hunt. Nate starts the night with a clue which leads him to a lady-in-waiting, who gives him a clue to the next lady..

  Serena van der Woodsen : Wait, hold on, you have ladies now?

  Blair Waldorf : If he finds me before midnight when the masks come off, he can claim his prize.

  Serena van der Woodsen : And what's that?

  [Blair looks at her seductively and wiggles her eyebrows] 

  Serena van der Woodsen : Oh, yeah, right. Sorry.

  Blair Waldorf : I just figured that after everything that's happened or hasn't happened, I should find some way to make it special.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Well, that's really romantic Blair, really. Look, um, if you don't want me to come tonight, I totally understand.

  Blair Waldorf : What? No, I want you to come, in fact I was hoping you'd be one of my ladies. Would you give Nate the last clue?

  Serena van der Woodsen : Are you sure you want me to?

  Blair Waldorf : Tonight is all about starting over. I trust you and him.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Well, then I would be honored to serve you, my queen.

  [the girls laugh] 

  Blair Waldorf : Well, besides, you're bringing Dan, right?

• Serena van der Woodsen : I know him. A masked ball? Dan would never wanna go to something that pretentious where he has to wear a mask and a tux.

  Blair Waldorf : He likes you. He would wear a tux and a mask and one of my mother's dresses if it meant that he could go out with you. Come on, why are you worried that he already has a date? I mean, he is Dan Humphrey.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Shut up. I dunno, I guess a masked ball is better than a regular party because all those kids from school that he hates, he won't even recognize them.

  Blair Waldorf : Alright, invite him, I insist.

• Serena van der Woodsen : Our parents did way worse stuff than we do.

• Dan Humphrey : I'm saving you.

  Serena van der Woodsen : [upset]  I don't need to be saved.

  Dan Humphrey : Really? 'Cause I could see your eyes rolling to the back of your head from across the room.

• Lily van der Woodsen : [holding exotic beaded dress]  Do you think Eleanor Waldorf will find this "night in Tangiers" enough?

  Serena van der Woodsen : Maybe if you brought a goat.
