Episode Quotes
Gossip Girl: (opening voiceover)I bet you're wondering what Gossip Girl is doing up so early. Truth is I never went to bed. Why waste precious time dreaming when waking life is so much better? Is there really anything better than a lazy Sunday? Reading the paper in bed, sipping coffee, scrambling an egg or two. Yeah right, we Upper East Siders don't do lazy. Breakfast is brunch, and it comes with champagne, a dress code, and 100 of our closest friends.

Lily: Don't try to be cute, okay, those days are long behind you.
Rufus: And here I thought I was getting better looking every day.

Serena: (to Dan) Well, I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was, but what's happened is in the past and all I can do is try to change but if you can't accept that then (pause) you aren't who I thought you were. (she walks away)

Chuck: (about Dan) If I knew his name I'd hunt him down and kill him.
Nate: What, because you kill people now? You gonna strangle him with your scarf?
Chuck: Don't mock the scarf Nathaniel; it's my signature.
Nate: Just saying, death by scarf - not that intimidating.

Gossip Girl: (voiceover) Looks like Blair and Chuck came with quite the appetite ... for destruction, that is.

Gossip Girl: (voiceover) Well, Serena's mystery man is a mystery no longer. His name is ... oh, who cares. Now that he and S are over, so are his fifteen minutes. But his sister Jenny was spotted with a new dress gifted from Blair herself. Everyone knows an Eleanor original is the uniform of B's private army. But will J be a loyal soldier? Or will she side with S's rebel forces? And as for S herself, we hear she left today's brunch with no friends, no boy and nowhere left to run. It looks like the ultimate insider has become a total outsider. It's your move, Serena. And you know who'll be watching: Gossip Girl.

Chuck: (to Blair) I'm honored to be playing even a small role in your deflowering.

Nate: You happy now?
Blair: Not even close.

Lily: Don't try to be cute, okay, those days are long behind you.
Rufus: And here I thought I was getting better looking every day.

Blair: (to Serena) I must have totally blanked on the part where I invited you over.
