Dan: I don't understand. Did I do something wrong?
Serena: No. Look, I wanted a date with you, just not the date you thought I wanted. It's fine.
Dan: Alright, alright. (as he takes his tie off) Well, then. If it's a real Dan Humphrey date that you want, then it's a real Dan Humphrey date that you're gonna get. Let's go.
