  Episode Quotes  
Vanessa: The Pacifier played for like a year.
Dan: And they said Vin Diesel couldn't do comedy.
 
Chuck: Little Jenny Humphrey manages to get my pants off and have me not enjoy it. Quite the accomplishment.
Blair: Good thing someone else in the party was as lecherous as you or you'll still be up on that roof...and no I don't want to know what you had to do to get that tux.
 
Dan: Serena, hey.
Serena: What are you really doing here, Dan?
Dan: What am I doing here? I ran across the city, I rent a tuxedo, I stole this mask from some drunken kid only to look like Robin, I conned my way in here all to see you. I care.
Serena: Well, you didn't seem to care this morning when you were with another girl and lied about it.
 
Gossip Girl: (voiceover) What was it we say about appearances? Yes, they can be deceiving. But most of the time, what you see is what you get.
 
Blair: Is that a bong, mother? I didn't take you for a stoner.
 
Jenny: Let's play a game.
Chuck: I'd say strip poker, but I don't have any cards.
 
Dan: Let me just say. For the record. I like you. Only you.
Serena: Well, that's good because I feel the same about you.
Dan: Glad that's cleared up.
 
Jenny: Everything okay?
Serena: I'm not sure. Dan surprised me by showing up here.
Jenny: Well, go Dan!
Serena: Yeah, except then he threw me through a loop by chasing after some girl named Vanessa.
Jenny: No, V's Dan's best friend.
Serena: Oh, they seemed a little more than that. They kinda have a history, don't they?
Jenny: Sure. But, I mean, Dan's never liked a girl as he likes you. Really, I mean, come on! He's at a masked ball! And I think he'd go basically anywhere with you. Except for maybe in the Ice Capades because that really freaked him out when he was five.
 
Dan: A ball?
Rufus: Haven't you heard? Your sister's Cinderella.
Dan: And let me guess. Your wicked step-sister is Blair Waldorf.
