Quotes 

• Chuck Bass : The prodigal daughter returns. How was Spain?

  Serena van der Woodsen : Amazing. Perfect.

  Chuck Bass : I'm sure. You and Poppy dancing on tabletops in Barcelona. Sunbathing nude on Costa del Sol.

  Serena van der Woodsen : More like me and Poppy and her boyfriend, Gabriel, on the coast. Uh... I just read and ate, and, you know, swam.

  Chuck Bass : [voice low]  So there was nude sunbathing?

  Serena van der Woodsen : [seems evasive]  Hey, uh, is my Mom around?

  Chuck Bass : I haven't seen her. But I have been occupied.

  [in the doorway, comely girl comes to bid adieu] 

  Chuck Bass : Last night's entertainment. She's a synchronized swimmer. She can hold her breath for five minutes.

  Serena van der Woodsen : So you, you found a way to get over Blair, then?

• Cyrus Rose : I can certainly look into the legalities of It, but... I think you should tell your mother.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Well, we're not in a good place right now. I don't think I could go to her and say: "Sorry, but I sort of got married in Spain. But don't worry, Cyrus is helping me get a quickie annulment."

  Cyrus Rose : She's your mother. She...

• Serena van der Woodsen : Two days into the trip, Poppy and Gabriel get in this huge fight, and then she just leaves, abandoning me and Gabriel, and so I, I stayed around to keep him company.

  Dan Humphrey : Well, you did a bang-up job.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Dan, please. Gabriel and Poppy were over. And it's not like either one of us planned this. This thing between us just happened and we couldn't stop it.

  Dan Humphrey : This, this thing was a marriage. What were you thinking?

  Serena van der Woodsen : I don't know. I wasn't. I don't even know if I am married. That's what Cyrus is figuring out.

  Dan Humphrey : [with folded arms]  How does one not know if one is married?

  Serena van der Woodsen : Well... there was a dinner, and then... we had a lot of Rioja, and then... dancing, and then more Rioja, and then we took off our clothes and went swimming in the ocean.

  Dan Humphrey : Oh, just skip that part.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Yeah, yeah. Uhm, the next thing I know, Gabriel is just screaming "I love you, I love you!" and he's banging on this church door trying to wake up a priest. And...

  Dan Humphrey : Okay, okay, so there was a priest. Did you say "I do"?

  Serena van der Woodsen : Well, I, I said sí. I don't know. It was all in Spanish. It was... it was crazy.

  [chuckles] 

  Dan Humphrey : You're smiling!

  Serena van der Woodsen : What?

  Dan Humphrey : You ran off in Spain with a guy you barely know and you got married and you're... admit It, you're smiling.

  Serena van der Woodsen : No, I woke up the next day and I thought what have I done? This is crazy. And I got on the next flight out and here I am talking to Cyrus.

  Dan Humphrey : You're out...? You're a wife.

  Serena van der Woodsen : No, I'm not. Maybe I am. Are you jealous?

  Dan Humphrey : Serena, we were together for a year and we didn't make it to junior prom. You're with this guy less than a month and you get married, so, I mean, yes, it's a little bit insulting. I... I have to get back to work.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Uh... are you serving Eleanor's Seder?

  Dan Humphrey : No. Sort of... I mean, yes. Yes. You're the wife of the landed gentry and I'm a... cater waiter at a Seder.

  [walks off] 

  Serena van der Woodsen : Dan, wait..

• Serena van der Woodsen : [at ceremony]  Cyrus, this wine is delicious.

  Cyrus Rose : [patiently]  Oh, well, thank you, dear. We're not supposed to drink it until the blessing, but, uh, we'll make an exception this time.
