Gossip Girl (TV Series)

The Blair Bitch Project (2008)

Matthew Settle: Rufus Humphrey

Quotes 

• Rufus Humphrey : Blair said... they told you the original party had fallen through... so that they could surprise you with a better one.

  Jenny Humphrey : Blair's a liar. You got played.

  Rufus Humphrey : She also said that you were afraid the... girls wouldn't accept everything about you. She knew you were wrong... and she wanted you to feel like you had nothing to be ashamed of. Was that a lie too?

  [no answer, he sighs] 

  Rufus Humphrey : Where did you get the dress? And I know you didn't make it, because your sewing machine is gone!

  Jenny Humphrey : [shakes her head, sniffles]  You have no idea how hard it is, Dad. I sold my sewing machine, okay?

  Rufus Humphrey : What?

  Jenny Humphrey : Yeah, and a lamp, and some jewelry.

  Rufus Humphrey : Why?

  Jenny Humphrey : Because I had to! Dad, you think that you can just send me off to school with a plaid skirt and a MetroCard and everything will be okay.

  Rufus Humphrey : I am not apologizing... for not having a private plane for you, Jenny.

  Jenny Humphrey : [shakes her head]  You think I'm ashamed of where I come from?

  [tearfully:] 

  Jenny Humphrey : No, Dad, what I'm ashamed of is having... to bring a brown-bagged lunch to school, and, you know, eat it in the bathroom, and then go out with my friends and pretend that I'm not hungry when I go to lunch with them.

  Rufus Humphrey : You don't have to do those things, Jenny. You're making a choice.

  Jenny Humphrey : [sobs]  What don't you get?

  [shakes her head] 

  Jenny Humphrey : You want me to choose to have no friends? Well, clearly, I mean, that's not even a choice anymore, because that's just done!
