Quotes 

• Blair Waldorf : I wanted a Harry Winston choker for my birthday. Instead I got a conscience.

• Blair Waldorf : I am Grace Kelly, Grace Kelly is me.

• Serena van der Woodsen : Plenty of women have been both lover and muse to famous artists. Like Picasso.

  Blair Waldorf : Serena, a guy starts out in his blue period and everything's great. But it's only a matter of time until he's all into cubism and it's some other girl's eye coming out of her forehead.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Okay, I'm going to go.

  Blair Waldorf : Wait, what about the gnome? I have to take him down!

• Blair Waldorf : He's totally unsuitable.

  Serena van der Woodsen : Who?

  Blair Waldorf : Cyrus. He's five feet tall. He has a catchphrase. And he's a hugger. I was expecting Cary Grant and I got Danny DeVito!

• Blair Waldorf : You're still here.

  Cyrus Rose : I sent my driver to dinner because I thought I would be at the party ringing in your birthday.

  Blair Waldorf : You threw in the towel rather easily. I expected a harder fight.

  Cyrus Rose : I'm smart enough to know that getting into a war with Eleanor's daughter is never gonna result in a victory.

  Blair Waldorf : So, you retreated with dignity.

  Cyrus Rose : Who says I gave up?

  Blair Waldorf : Oh my god. You out maneuvered me. You deliberately let me win, counting on the fact that Cyndi Lauper would prey on my emotions.

  Cyrus Rose : I'm a lawyer. I do think a few moves ahead. Some of us can't rely entirely on our looks, you know.

  Blair Waldorf : Well done.

  Cyrus Rose : Not enough!

  Blair Waldorf : Fine. You're a genius. You better be good to my mother, or I'll be coming for you.

  Cyrus Rose : Those are fair terms.

  Blair Waldorf : Now, come upstairs and stand next to me while I tell my mom the whole truth about The Golden Lion. She'll be furious with me. So, I may need an attorney.

  Cyrus Rose : Oh!

  [Cyrus hugs Blair. Blair grimaces, smiles, then shakes her head] 

  Blair Waldorf : You're not what I had in mind.

  Cyrus Rose : Well, you're not what I had in mind.

• Blair Waldorf : Dorota, are you insane?

  Dorota : I don't know.

  Blair Waldorf : You used the everyday china. Cyrus will think we're just common upper-middle class. Get the Objet and hurry up!

• Blair Waldorf : Screw Grace Kelly. I need a scheme.

  Dorota : Oh no...

  Blair Waldorf : That tiny man must have a secret I can exploit.

• Blair Waldorf : How can you possibly love Cyrus? He's all the things you hate! He uses the wrong fork, he slurps his soup, he wears sport socks! He is short, and pushy! He's nothing like daddy.

• Blair Waldorf : [posse gathering]  Though it seems like just yesterday Serena and I were eight and playing dress up in my mother's vintage Manolos, my eighteenth birthday has finally arrived.

  [all the girls chuckle] 

  Blair Waldorf : The party needs to be perfect. So, blood-orange martinis at Beluga and Belvedere.

  Penelope Shafai : Why don't we make different drinks tonight and make a taste test?

  Blair Waldorf : Oh, I can't. I'm meeting my mother's new boyfriend.

  Hazel Williams : Even moms have boyfriends. And I don't.

  Blair Waldorf : [while Serena receives messages from Aaron]  Cyrus has been one of my Mom's attorneys since the divorce. He asked her out when they first met, but she didn't wanna mix business with pleasure. Finally, his amorous overtures wore her down, and she agreed to dinner. She's been smitten ever since.

  Isabel Coates : Aw...

  Nelly Yuki : Oh, it's so romantic.

  Blair Waldorf : One thing my mother has is good taste in men. Maybe a dashing stepdad is just what I need.

  Penelope Shafai : Speaking of good taste in men, how's the sexy artist, Serena?

  Serena van der Woodsen : Oh, Aaron's amazing. He's been sending me these maps to the most beautiful places. The other day I ended up in a private room in the Cloisters overlooking the gardens.

  Blair Waldorf : Spare them the details, Serena. Hazel will kill herself from envy.

  [Hazel glares balefully at her] 

• Hazel Williams : There's a totally cute guy over there.

  Penelope Shafai : The busboy?

  Hazel Williams : Beggars can't be choosers.

  Isabel Coates : How's your totally cute boyfriend, Serena?

  Serena van der Woodsen : Oh, he.. he's not exactly my boyfriend.

  Hazel Williams : [totally ready to pounce!]  You mean he's free?

  Blair Waldorf : [arrives]  Hazel... I can hear your desperation from the other room.
