Eleanor Waldorf
- Laurel: Eleanor, this seating chart is weak. Where are all our "It" girls?
- Eleanor Waldorf: They're there. Look!
- Laurel: Kirsten Dunst? So 2007. Her rehab stint barely made the radar.
- [shakes her head]
- Eleanor Waldorf: Blair says we can't get A-list girls because our show is at the same time as Marc Jacobs'.
- Laurel: But those girls bring press. Without them...
- [shakes her head]
- Jenny Humphrey: Eleanor, Serena has some new friends.
- [shows them the photo of Serena with Poppy Lifton]
- Jenny Humphrey: I bet she could help.
- Eleanor Waldorf: New friends?
- [shakes her head]
- Blair Waldorf: Mom!
- Eleanor Waldorf: Good, you saw the changes we made to the chart. Aren't they marvelous?
- Blair Waldorf: That's not quite the word I was going to use.
- Eleanor Waldorf: Jenny had the inspired idea of putting Serena and Poppy Lifton and her friends in the front row.
- Blair Waldorf: But... I already told you, Poppy and her crowd never miss the Marc Jacob's show. And Serena would never watch a show from anywhere but the backstage without me. It's our ritual. None of them will agree to this.
- Eleanor Waldorf: I spoke to Lily. They already have.
- Blair Waldorf: Even Serena?
- Eleanor Waldorf: Absolutely! Marc is going to eat his grunge corduroys.
- Blair Waldorf: And all this thanks to little Jenny Humphrey.
- Eleanor Waldorf: [sighs] The girl's quite a talent. She shouldered most of the workload at the atelier this week.
- Blair Waldorf: How does she manage that after school?
- Eleanor Waldorf: Jenny doesn't... go to school. She got an, uh...
- Blair Waldorf: Independent study?
- Eleanor Waldorf: [snaps fingers] Independent-study thing this semester.
- Blair Waldorf: [incredulous tone] A tenth-grader with independant study?
- Eleanor Waldorf: Mm-hmm.
- Blair Waldorf: I just realized I forgot a book at school.
- [leaves]
- Eleanor Waldorf: [calling after Blair] Have fun, honey.
- [wouldn't understand the irony of her words]
- Blair Waldorf: [passes Jenny] You never learn, do you?
- Jenny Humphrey: Excuse me?
- Blair Waldorf: Great job ruining my seating chart.
- Jenny Humphrey: Your seating chart? Blair, I didn't know.
- Blair Waldorf: Well, now you do.
- [vindictive glance over her shoulder as she leaves]
