Scenes with Chuck Bass 104

Just because you're dressed poorly doesn't mean you're not Chuck Bass.

Chuck

Why would I wanna be him ?

You should've told me you got shot.

Chuck

I'm surprised you didn't shoot me yourself.

I have. Many times. In my dreams. The good ones.. But if you were really hurt, i would wanna know.

Chuck

When I woke up, my ID was gone. Nobody knew who I was, nobody was coming to look for me. I realized that I might be alive but Chuck Bass doesn't have to be.

Changing your name doesn't change who you are.

Chuck

It's a good start. A chance to live simply, earn people's respect. Maybe become a person someone could love.

Someone did love you. And you owe it to her and everyone else you are leaving behind not to run away, which is what you're doing. And I don't think that great man you're talking about wanting to be.. is a coward. I think he would face up to what he did.

Chuck

I destroyed the only thing I ever loved.

I don't love you anymore. But it takes more than even you to destroy Blair Waldorf.

Chuck

Your world would be easier if i didn't come back.

That's true. But it wouldn't be my world without you in it.

I know more than anyone what it’s like to want to reinvent yourself. But just because people are mad at you doesn’t mean you should disappear. My mom is really worried about you.

Chuck

I’m sure she’ll come to celebrate my absence. As will all the people who’ve wished me dead since the day I was born.

I know things were bad in New York, but if you don’t come home you’ll lose the Empire, you’ll lose everything you ever cared about.

Chuck

I lost the only thing I cared about. They can have everything else.

Chuck

I know what you did Blair. It was despicable even for you. Do you hate me so much you can't stand to see me happy?

No!

Chuck

So why did you drive the person I care most about out of town?

Eva left? Chuck, I never meant to—

Chuck

Make her leave me? Of course you did. I need to know why. Is it possible you still love me?

How could I still love you after what you did?

Chuck

So you did it just to hurt me. Eva made me into someone I was proud to be. You just brought back my worst self. This means war Blair.

Chuck.

Chuck

Me versus you. No limits.

S4 E4 Touch of Eva
View quote →

[After finding Chuck at her door] If you're here to deliver any further humiliation Dorota can sign for it.

Chuck

Jenny was right. If we keep going we'll end up dead and I like myself too much to let that to happen. I assume you feel the same way.

About myself, more. What do you suggest?

Chuck

A truce.

Why don't you just sky-write the word 'double cross'? It'll be more subtle.

Chuck

Look, we can keep blaming each other for what happened that night or we can admit a harder truth. It was no one's fault. It was fate. Tragedy.

If Serena hadn't kissed Dan then Nate wouldn't have been at the hospital looking for her. And Jenny wouldn't have come looking for Nate...

Chuck

If Dorota hadn't gone into labor...

Maybe everything would be different. But it's not.

Chuck

We're holding onto the pain because it's all we have left. But we don't have to. We have a choice.

[Sighs deeply and extends her hand] Truce? [Chuck takes her hand and after a few seconds she pulls away] You can see yourself out.

Chuck

I know the way.

S4 E6 Easy J

But it's the true warrior who knows that wars don't end. They simply change. And there can never be peace as long as guns are still loaded and there's plenty of ammunition.

What are you still doing here, Chuck? I threw you out hours ago.

Chuck

I wanted to let you know the treaty is over.

Fine with me. This pretense of civility was exhausting.

Chuck

Being amicable isn't in our blood. I've realized we're not friends. Friends have to like each other and after what happened tonight, I could never like you.

I could never like you either, in fact, I hate you.

Chuck

I've never hated anyone more.

Every nerve ending in my body is electrified by hatred.

Chuck

There is a fiery pit of hate inside me, ready to explode.

So it's settled, then?

Chuck

We're settled.

JJuliet

I have proof that Serena Van der Woodsen is having an affair with her professor.

DRDean Reuther

Miss Sharp, I am with friends. This is the one night of the year I can try to put everything else out of my mind and enjoy myself.

[Enters with Nate, Serena and Collin] Dean Reuther, may I please have a moment with you?

DRDean Reuther

Of course you're involved with this Miss Waldorf, I told you and Miss Van der Woodsen to stay off my radar.

JJuliet

Dean Reuther I am not lying.

CCollin

What's going on?

DRDean Reuther

Nothing that concerns you professor, or concerns anyone for the moment.

JJuliet

Actually it does concern Collin, he was the one in the photos with Serena.

DRDean Reuther

Is that why you resigned your position today?

CCollin

While it's true that I resigned because of my involvement with a student, it's nobody's business who that student is. All that matters is that the responsibility is mine and I took it, by leaving my post.

DRDean Reuther

That's somewhat admirable, Collin, and while usually it's the professor in the professor student relationship that takes propriety, if that student is under the suspicion of trading sex for grades in the past, I think we might need to examine the situation a little more closely.

Let me get my camera.

JJuliet

[Sticks out the flashdrive] Here, look as close as you like.

[Takes the flashdrive] Let me help you with that. [Drops it in her glass of champagne] Whoops. You didn't wanna look at those photos anyway because it wasn't Serena in them. It was me.

Blair, you don't have to do this.

Why would I jeopardize my college career by lying? [To the Dean] So, go ahead, fire Collin. Oh wait, he already quit. So let's just go in and enjoy some jeté. Allegro.

Chuck

[Comes up from behind Blair] If I could say something. I for one can fully corroborate Miss Waldorf's story. She was indeed having an affair with Professor Forrester. I know this because I keep tabs on everyone Blair sees and talks to, due to my insatiable jealousy. Though she did state something to the effect that he didn't quite satisfy her like I used to.

It's true.

JJuliet

Don't you see? They're all protecting each other.

This is what they always do.

DRDean Reuther

[To Vanessa] I'm sorry. Who are you? [To Juliet] Miss Sharp, the reality is that with no proof I can't tell who is telling the truth.

JJuliet

Yeah, well there was proof! Until Blair drowned it.

DRDean Reuther

Juliet, I don't like tattletales much more than I like young women who use their sexuality to further their academic careers. So if you will please excuse me, I'm going to try my best to to enjoy this performance. Which, hopefully, is a little more graceful than the one I've just seen. Good evening.

S4 E8 Juliet Doesn't Live Here Anymore
View quote →

Now it's our turn.

Chuck

You're obsession with Serena has grown tiresome.

Just because you have no money and delusions of grandeur, does not make it okay for you to be a single white trash female.

JJuliet

Nate, this isn't me. You know that.

How would I ever believe anything you say again.

Well you can believe the part where she does her own hair.

You tried to destroy my friendship with Blair, my reputation, my academic career...

Chuck

You failed every time, and now it's time for you to go.

JJuliet

I'm trying to.

He's talking about Columbia.

You don't belong there anyway.

Chuck

If we catch you hanging around there again there will be consequences.

And we're really good at payback.

Spotted: One ugly duckling exiled. Let's hope she doesn't turn into a black swan.

Chuck

[After Blair has been turned down for Anne Archibald's charity because of her relationship with Chuck] I'll give you the money to start whatever foundation you want.

It won't change anything. Anne's right. As long as I'm with you I'm Hillary in the White House. And I want to be Hillary, Secretary of State but... with better hair.

Chuck

Then you'll find another way to show the world you're a force to be reckoned with. We'll build our futures together.

I followed my heart all last year and it led me nowhere. Now I need to follow my head.

Chuck

You don't need to chose between them. Look at Brad and Angelina. They take turns on top.

Yeah, but she won an Oscar first. I'm sorry, but I have to be Blair Waldorf before I can be Chuck Bass' girlfriend.

Chuck

I love you.

I love you too. [Pause] I don't expect you to wait.

Chuck

If two people were meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back.

Do you really believe that?

Chuck

I do.

So do I.

S4 E9 The Witches of Bushwick
View quote →

What are you doing here? I don’t have the energy to rehash tonight’s hysterics. I think you should leave.

Chuck

I’m not here to apologize about what happened tonight.

Then what are you here to apologize for?

Chuck

Everything else. I’m sorry for losing my temper the night you told me Louis proposed to you. I’m sorry for not waiting longer at the Empire State Building. I’m sorry for treating you like property. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I loved you when I knew I did. Most of all I’m sorry that I gave up on us when you never did.

Thank you. I hope never giving up on people isn’t going to be my downfall.

Chuck

That’s why you’re going to be an amazing mother. You’re always there for the people you love. Even when they don’t deserve it.

You know that’s never going to change.

Chuck

It’s okay if it has to. Starting tonight I’m going to take care of myself.

Is that all?

Chuck

[Pauses] Yeah.

Chuck

Dr. Krueger thought you were upset I returned the ring.

He has too many PhDs. They cancel each other out and make him a moron.

Chuck

I returned it because you asked me to let you go. I wanted to move on to give you the happy life you deserve.

All this time, I've blamed you for pulling me into the dark. But I was wrong. It was me who brought out your dark side. And now that I'm with Louis, I've done the same to him. I'm sorry.

Chuck

You never pulled me to the dark side, Blair.

I appreciate you trying to make me feel better, but I have my answer.

Chuck

You were the lightest thing that ever came into my life.

Then... why did it take letting me go to find this whole new side of yourself?

Chuck

I only turned dark and desperate because I was afraid of losing you. Your love kept me alive.

But you survived without me.

Chuck

The worst thing happened, and I didn't die. But I had to find a new way to move on with my life. I only want you to be happy. I'm just sorry it couldn't be with me.

S5 E9 Rhodes to Perdition
View quote →

[On the phone with Chuck] Do you think you could love another man's child?

Chuck

Why are you asking me this?

I'm...paralyzed. I can't move, I can't breathe... You have to help me.

Chuck

I can't make this decision for you, Blair. You're the one that has to live with it.

But what's the right choice, Chuck?

Chuck

I can't imagine it would be a mistake to marry to father of your child. Right?

S5 E10 Riding in Town Cars with Boys
View quote →

What's going on? Did you have something to do with this?

Chuck

No. Dan arranged it for us.

What "us"?

Chuck

The us I should have fought for when you called. The us that is not just you and me, but you, me and your baby.

Then w-why did you tell me choose Louis?

Chuck

I thought it was selfish if I was the one to tell you to break up your family.

That was the moment you chose not to be selfish?

Chuck

Timing has never been our strong suit. I had it all wrong. Just because Louis is the father of your baby, does not mean you should be with him, you should be with me.

Why?

Chuck

Because I'm going to love your baby as much as I love you.

S5 E10 Riding in Town Cars with Boys
View quote →

What are you doing here?

Chuck

Trust me, the last thing I wanted to do was show up today, but even your own mother seems to think we need to talk.

Well, what I need is for you to—

Chuck

Don't marry him.

Chuck.

Chuck

Don't marry him.

All those people out there are waiting for me.

Chuck

Yes, they are. But they also want you to be happy, which you're not going to be if you go through with this. Tell me I'm wrong and I'll leave. [Blair stays silent] You can't. Because it should be us up there and you know it.

It's not that simple.

Chuck

It's only that simple, you told me you loved me and I know that was true.

It is! Of course I love you, Chuck. I've always loved you. I love you more and more every day if it's even possibly to love someone that much.

Chuck

Get out of here with me, right now. We can go anywhere, just as long as we're together.

I know you don't understand and I don't expect you to. But even if I weren't with Louis... I couldn't be with you. Just know that... not living with you is the hardest thing I've ever done. But at least I have someone who loves me by my side. You should find someone who loves you too.

Chuck

I have. She's standing right in front of me.

I know it sounds crazy, but I really am doing this for you.

S5 E13 G.G
View quote →

I love you. I'm in love with you. I've tried to kill it, to run away from it, but I can't... I don't want to anymore.

Chuck

So what?

So now we can be together. It's not what you want?

Chuck

It was. Before I lost everything.

Chuck

I always put you first. And you bet against me every time. Now I have nothing.

You have me.

Chuck

It's not enough. I need a future.

Than let me be part of it.

Chuck

I dont't want to be Mr. Blair Waldorf. I'm Chuck Bass.
