Serena van der Woodsen
- Blair Waldorf: Serena, can we talk?
- Serena van der Woodsen: About what? How you tried to publicly humiliate me?
- Blair Waldorf: You know about the dress?
- Serena van der Woodsen: Yeah, Laurel told me, she said it was an accident. Clearly she doesn't know you.
- Blair Waldorf: I'm sorry, I was hurt,okay?You, you blew off our most beloved tradition.
- Serena van der Woodsen: Just get over it,Blair.
- Blair Waldorf: Excuse me?
- Serena van der Woodsen: My whole life I have been bending over backwards to protect your feelings, and you know what? It's not my fault you're so insecure.
- Blair Waldorf: And I'm sure it's not your fault you're so conceited.
- Serena van der Woodsen: I'm just tired of trying to hold myself back so I don't outshine you.
- Blair Waldorf: Oh, my God, can you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth?
- Serena van der Woodsen: It's just the truth. From now on, I'm gonna be who I am and if you can support that and not be threatened and competitive, then great, if not...
- [Serena walks away]
- Blair Waldorf: What do you want?
- Serena van der Woodsen: I tried to reach you all night why haven't you returned any of my calls?
- Blair Waldorf: What is there to say? You've only taken over the girls at school and abandoned our oldest tradition to go to my mother's show with a complete stranger.
- Serena van der Woodsen: First of all, I didn't take over the girls at school.
- Blair Waldorf: Are you really gonna pretend like you don't notice what's been going on?
- Serena van der Woodsen: What? These girls are like hummingbirds, they move from flower to flower, they'll be on to someone else next week and then back to you, it's not a big deal.
- Blair Waldorf: And I suppose it's not a big deal that your sitting front row at my mother's show either?
- Serena van der Woodsen: She asked me to do it as a favor.
- Blair Waldorf: Oh and how could you possibly dissapoint my mother? Though you have no problem screwing over your best friend?
- Serena van der Woodsen: Fine I won't go!
- Blair Waldorf: Good!
- Serena van der Woodsen: And then Poppy won't go and her friends won't go and then you can explain to your mother why she has an empty front row, would that make you happy?
- Blair Waldorf: At least I won't have to watch the next episode of the Serena show.
- Serena van der Woodsen: You know I was coming over here to invite you to hang out with us.
- Blair Waldorf: Oh how generous Serena! I should feel so blessed that you would include me in your little group!
- Serena van der Woodsen: You know what Blair I am gonna go to that show and I'm gonna sit front row and I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it!
- Lily van der Woodsen: Something else. There's a Mapplethorpe coming up for auction...
- Serena van der Woodsen: Wait, Mapplethorpe? Isn't that the one who took all the pictures of the naked guys?
- Lily van der Woodsen: Yeah. Not just guys...
- Serena van der Woodsen: Wait. Mom, did you...?
- Lily van der Woodsen: Well...
- Bex: You modeled for Mapplethorpe?
- Lily van der Woodsen: Well, I kept it a secret, but I think you and Eric are old enough now.
- Serena van der Woodsen: It's not one of those artsy shots where you can't tell if it's a bellybutton or...
- [aims her glance downward]
- Lily van der Woodsen: Well, it's very tasteful, I assure you.
- Serena van der Woodsen: You just became the coolest Mom on the Upper East Side.
- Lily van der Woodsen: Oh, thank you.
- Serena van der Woodsen: [as the posse squeals about Serena's magazine appearance] Oh, gosh, I haven't even see that. Blair, where are you going?
- Blair Waldorf: I'll just leave you to your fans.
