Quotes 

• William van der Woodsen : [to Eric]  I have a lot to make up for.

  Eric van der Woodsen : I'm sorry. The window for that closed somewhere between my 12th birthday and, um, my suicide attempt.

• Serena van der Woodsen : Well, at least he's been honored. I've never been honored. I did win a contest once at boarding school, and I think there was a plaque, but... I'm not sure that really counts.

  Jenny Humphrey : What kind of contest?

  Serena van der Woodsen : [to shut her up:]  It was for drinking hot chocolate at the winter fair.

  William van der Woodsen : I had a buddy that went to Exeter. The stories he tells would make Keith Richards blush.

  Serena van der Woodsen : [looks down]  Yeah, well, uhm, I wasn't really into the party scene. I was there more for the academics.

  [causing Jenny to look up sharply] 

  William van der Woodsen : Sounds like you've made some great choices, Serena. I'm glad. The bad ones have a way of... following you.

  [Serena looks down guiltily] 

  Jenny Humphrey : [to Serena]  You know, I've never heard that hot chocolate story.

  [shakes her head] 

  Serena van der Woodsen : [snaps]  You know, there are a lot of stories going around.

  Jenny Humphrey : True, but I did hear this one. My ex-boyfriend went to boarding school with Serena and he tells a great one...

  [Serena looks uncomfortable] 

  Jenny Humphrey : about her and his teacher one night at a, uh, bed and breakfast.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Jenny!

  Jenny Humphrey : Although I'm sure they were just studying. You know, like she says, she was all about the academics.
