    • Quotes

      Serena van der Woodsen: Blair, Blair, wait, where are you going? Blair, wait, why are you so mad?

      Blair Waldorf: Why am I mad? You mean why aren't I furious! I can't believe for one second I thought it would be different this time.

      Serena van der Woodsen: You thought what would be different?

      Blair Waldorf: You couldn't deal with the spotlight shining on me for once, could you?

      Serena van der Woodsen: What are you talking about? I was told we were doing this together. What, did you not get my message?

      Blair Waldorf: What about this morning then? When you glanced at the call sheet, did you see my name on it? When I wasn't in hair and makeup, didn't that seem strange? When the dressing room only had your name on the door, what, did you think they just forgot?

      Serena van der Woodsen: I was told you were running late and they asked me to do some tests shots first. Blair, they told me you wanted me here.

      Blair Waldorf: And you believe them?

      Serena van der Woodsen: Look, Blair, I encouraged you to do this. Why would I try to steal something from you that I pushed you to do?

      Blair Waldorf: Because you take everything from me! Nate, my mom!

      Serena van der Woodsen: Blair!

      Blair Waldorf: You can't even help it, it's who you are. I just thought maybe this time it would be different. I should've known I'd be wrong.

    Blake oh so Lively! oh so lovely!
    Couple days ago I did a review for the pilot that got rejected. I was all about this being another show that featured university-aged actresses pretending to be schoolkids.

    Another reviewer here pointed out how Blake Lively in that scene "put your hands on your hip and POP" inspired her... AND SAME HERE. Really, I'm in... I'm in... I'm in!

    Johnny-come-lately on DVD thirteen years later, but smirk at me long-time-fans, I still have the experience AHEAD of me, so thank you very much :)
