Quotes 

• Blair Waldorf : Did you choose Serena over me? You could've picked a stranger; you didn't have to choose my best friend. What, you think I wouldn't have found out?

  Eleanor Waldorf : I was going to tell you tonight at dinner. There was no right decision. There wasn't any time. I know you can understand all this. It was mishandled, the whole thing from top to bottom.

  Blair Waldorf : You actually want me to agree with you.

  Eleanor Waldorf : Bendel's will legitimize this company. It will take everything to the next level, you know how hard I have worked for that. You've always been my biggest supporter, my biggest fan.

  Blair Waldorf : I'm your daughter.

  Eleanor Waldorf : And as my daughter, I knew that you would forgive me, in time, but if my company had lost this deal because of you, I'd never forgive myself.

  Blair Waldorf : I hope you never do.

• Gossip Girl : [voice-over, as Blair wakes up]  The rules for a model the day of the photo-shoot are similar to that of a patient pre-surgery. No food or drink twelve hours prior,

  [Blair's bare feet glide into her slippers] 

  Gossip Girl : wear comfortable clothing, and make sure your affairs are in order. You never know what could go wrong in a flash.

  Serena van der Woodsen : [Blair's cell-phone beeps]  Hey, B, you must either be sleeping or already on your way. I can't wait to see you. We're gonna have so much fun!

  Eleanor Waldorf : [as Blair goes downstairs]  Oh, thank God you're awake!

  Blair Waldorf : Am I late? Oh, my God, oh, my God, did I oversleep?

  Eleanor Waldorf : Darling, I have some bad news. Terry, that fool of a photographer, thinks we need to go in a different direction.

  Blair Waldorf : With the theme?

  Eleanor Waldorf : With the model.

  Blair Waldorf : Oh.

  Eleanor Waldorf : Darling, I hired these people for their expertise. And ultimately, they feel that... we would be doing the brand a disservice. I... I cannot apologize enough. I know you were really looking forward to this.

  Blair Waldorf : No, I wasn't. I'm glad... I'm glad I don't have to go. I hate shoots. They're so boring. You should have Alessandra Ambrosio, not an amateur.

  Eleanor Waldorf : We"ll have dinner afterwards, yes?

  [hugs her daughter] 

  Eleanor Waldorf : Steak frites and crepes at Cafe Desertistes. Just like old times. I will see you later.

  [goes off, blowing kisses] 

  Blair Waldorf : [leaving voice-mail]  Hey, S. I hope you're not already there, because as it turns out, my modeling career is over faster than Jessica Simpson's acting one. Now that I think about it, maybe we should crash the shoot anyway. See who they replaced me with. Make fun of the skinny bitch?
