- Chuck Bass: Look, I never should have abandoned you. I knew I made the wrong decision as soon as your plane took off. I distracted myself all summer, hoping I wouldn't feel it, but I still do.
- Blair Waldorf: And?
- Chuck Bass: I was scared. Scared that if we spent the whole summer together, just us, you would see...
- Blair Waldorf: See what?
- Chuck Bass: Me... please don't leave with him.
- Blair Waldorf: Why? Give me a reason. And 'I'm Chuck Bass' doesn't count.
- Chuck Bass: Because you don't want to.
- Blair Waldorf: Not good enough.
- Chuck Bass: Because I don't want you to.
- Blair Waldorf: It's not enough.
- [Blair on the verge of tears]
- Chuck Bass: What else is there?
- Blair Waldorf: The true reason I should stay right where I am and not get in the car, three words, eight letters... say it and I'm yours.
- Chuck Bass: I... I...
- Blair Waldorf: Thank you. That's all I needed to hear.
- Blair Waldorf: [turns] Chuck, aren't you done trying to ruin my night?
- Chuck Bass: Look, I never should have abandoned you. I knew that I had made the wrong decision as soon as your plane took off. I distracted myself all summer, hoping that I wouldn't feel it. But I still do.
- Blair Waldorf: And?
- Chuck Bass: I was scared. I was scared that if we spent the whole summer together, just us... you would see.
- Blair Waldorf: See what?
- Chuck Bass: Me.
- [steps closer]
- Chuck Bass: Please don't leave with him.
- Blair Waldorf: Why? Give me a reason. And "I'm Chuck Bass" doesn't count.
- Chuck Bass: 'Cause you don't want to.
- Blair Waldorf: Not good enough.
- Chuck Bass: 'Cause I don't want you to.
- [gets closer]
- Chuck Bass: What else is there?
- Blair Waldorf: The true reason I should stay right where I am and not get in the car. Three words, eight letters. Say it, and I'm yours.
- Chuck Bass: [quiet] I... I www...
- Blair Waldorf: Thank you. That's all I needed to hear.
- [turns and joins Marcus in the car]
- Serena van der Woodsen: Oh God. Hot lifeguard has a Camaro. And not in an ironic-I've-got-a-Camaro kind of way.
- Blair Waldorf: Damn that mother-Chucker! Ugh! He's... he's totally right. I don't even like James.
- Serena van der Woodsen: Thank you, I was waiting for that.
- Blair Waldorf: I only hooked up with him a week ago because I knew that I couldn't get off the plane alone, and it would kill me if Chuck knew that he ruined my summer.
- Serena van der Woodsen: Oh, B, I'm so sorry. Was it really bad?
- Blair Waldorf: I would be in my cabana at the Hotel Du Cap, and there he would be. Amid all the fireworks of Bastille Day, all I could see was that Chuck Bass-tard.
- Blair Waldorf: I wasn't aware that robots got jealous. Did they update your software when I was away?
- Nate Archibald: [to her husband she's cheating on] Could you excuse me a moment?
- [walks past Nate]
- Nate Archibald: You trying to ruin my marriage?
- [returns to husband]
- Nate Archibald: [to his party date, Serena] Get me drunk.
- Serena van der Woodsen: Absolutely.
- Chuck Bass: Please don't leave with him.
- Blair Waldorf: Why? Give me a reason. And, 'I'm Chuck Bass' doesn't count.
- Chuck Bass: Because you don't want to.
- Blair Waldorf: That's not good enough.
- Chuck Bass: Because I don't want you to.
- Blair Waldorf: Not good enough.
- Chuck Bass: What else is there?
- Blair Waldorf: The true reason I should stay right where I am and not get in the car. Three words. Eight letters. Say it... and I'm yours.
- Chuck Bass: I... I...
- Blair Waldorf: Thank you. That's all I needed to hear.
- Nate Archibald: I can be really sneaky.
- Duchess Catherine Beaton: Sneaky is cute at your age. A couple decades later, not so much.
- Chuck Bass: [leaves to try hook up with returning Blair] Enjoy another night alone with your thoughts.
- Serena van der Woodsen: Good luck on your suicide mission.
- Tinsley Mortimer: It's so nice to meet you, Jenny.
- Jenny Humphrey: It's so nice to meet you too. I have a 'look book' of photos from magazines that I cut out, and you're in, like, all of them. You have amazing taste.
- Tinsley Mortimer: That is so sweet. Thank you. You know, Eric said you were an aspiring designer. Are you wearing one of your own pieces?
- Jenny Humphrey: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I am.
- Nate Archibald: So when am I going to get to see you again?
- Vanessa Abrams: Depends. Can I depend on you not to cancel at the last second?
- Nate Archibald: That will never happen again.
- Vanessa Abrams: That's okay.
- Nate Archibald: No, no. I'm serious. Like, I mean, everything with my family's been so crazy but... when you called today it was like I could breathe again. So I wanna do this. I wanna make this - us - right.
- Vanessa Abrams: [smiles] Okay. Tomorrow night?
- Nate Archibald: [hesitates] Uh, tomorrow night I've got to take my mom to this school party.
- Vanessa Abrams: Fine. Come to the gallery. You can bring me lunch.
- Nate Archibald: Oh... well...
- Vanessa Abrams: Well, it was a good speech.
- Nate Archibald: No, no, no, no! I'm serious. I mean, I have family stuff. But I'll reschedule... And they'll just have to deal with it.
