Serena van der Woodsen quotes from Gossip Girl

Dan

Hey! What are you doing here?

Serena

I need to know why you love me.

Dan

Because I do.

Serena

I really want to trust you when you say those words, Dan, so maybe if I knew why, I'd stop being so scared of hearing them and afraid to say them.

Dan

Okay. Well, if you want to talk about why...

Serena

It has to do with my mom and her many marriages.

Dan

There. that's why. Because I actually like it when you interrupt me, which is often, by the way. I love you because you make no apologies about being exactly who you are... Beautiful, smart, sexy as hell.

Serena

Now you're embarrassing me.

Dan

That's another reason. You're totally unaware of the effects you have on me. You're also completely unaware that you laugh like a 4 year old. [Serena laughs] Just like that. And I love you because you can be with someone like me and still be best friends with someone like Blair.

Serena:

Yeah, well, I tried to be.

Dan

I know you do, and that's not easy, but you never give up on her. That is how amazing you are.

Serena

Well, you're amazing, too, for being able to say all of those things, you just are. [They kiss] And I love you... But I have to go.

Dan

What? what--what is it this time?

Serena

One of the many reasons you love me. [Blows Dan a kiss]

Blair

Is there a reason you're here?

Serena

Stay. Don't let these things make you run away like it did me. Like it does everybody in our world.

Blair

Every thing's horrible. My whole life is falling apart.

Serena

So, rebuild it. You're a Waldorf, remember? People don't tell you who you are, you tell them. Stay and fight. I'll fight with you.

Blair

I'm so embarrassed. I'm so...

Serena

So, what? Start over. It can be done, I should know. We can get through this together.

Blair

Promise?

Serena

Promise. [hugs Blair]

Blair

Did you tell Dan I slept with Chuck?

Serena

What?

Blair

You did You told your low rent boyfriend and he told his social climbing sister who wears my hand-me-downs who blabbed to Nate!

Serena

No, Blair - Dan and Jenny aren't like that. They would never do that.

Blair

You don't get it, do you? The rules are different for the Serena van der Woodsens of the world. People expect you to be party and be wild, sleep with whoever you want, run away, come back...You shot your reputation to hell a long time ago. It doesn't matter what you do but I'm a Waldorf!

Serena

Well since you and your reputation obviously don't need me and my low rent tastes, you and the Waldorf name can weather this storm alone.

Blair

I will.

Serena

What are you doing?

I'm hiding from my valet. He wanted to put my socks on me this morning. Your servants are very attentive.

Chuck

You should meet Brigita.

Serena

No, no, he should not meet Brigita! He's fourteen! Avoid this person.

Chuck

Do I have to remind you, Serena, that you USED to have a sense of humor?

Serena

No! [gives death stare]

Blair

What does she think she's doing?

Serena

She's giving you the perfect opportunity for niceness. C'mon, be nice!

Jenny

Serena, I know you're doing something with Dan tonight. But Blair, um, we're all going to Butter and I was wondering if you wanted to join us?

Serena

She'd be delighted. YES! [Serena claps for excitement] BUTTER!

Jenny

Great.

Serena

Great! [Serena smiling happily]

Blair

Very nice.

Serena

Thank you.

Blair

How do you manage to get out of everything unscathed?

Serena

Because I'm nice. You should try it sometime. C'mon, um, compliment me, tell me my hair looks beautiful.

Blair

But your hair looks disgusting. Did you even shower today?

Serena

[To Chuck who is in her bathroom, sitting on the sink with the water in the shower running] What are you doing?

Chuck

Alright, Ladies, my sister needs to shower. Make room. [Serena looks at the empty shower stall] I'm just messing with you.

Serena

[Sees his discarded marijuana joints] I can't believe you lit up in my bathroom!

Chuck

Well if I lit up in mine, the folks would know it was me, sis.

Serena

Oh okay, let's get one thing straight. Our parents may be insisting on blending households but I am not your sister. I do not share any of your DNA, nor do I ever wish to.

Chuck

Then I suggest you get new hand towels.

Serena

You don't even talk to her. Why do you care how she does?

Blair

Nelly Yuki has her sights sets on Yale, too. What are the odds of them accepting two girls from Constance? And have you seen Nelly Yuki's extra-curriculars? I need to kick her well-rounded ass!

Serena

And they say you've lost your edge...

Blair

Nelly Yuki must be destroyed.

Serena

Why do you keep saying her name?

Blair

Because it's Nelly Yuki! [Serena laughs] Ew, gross, incoming Chuck. You coming?

Serena

No, I gotta wait for Dan. He's stressed, he doesn't do very well with tests so...

Blair

Performance anxiety? [grins at Serena]

Serena

Bye Blair.

Georgina

I'd like to propose a toast: To the new you.

Serena

To the new me.

Georgina

Oh, hi, sweetie. Let me just call someone to... [Serena cuts in]

Serena

I don't want you to ever contact me again.

Georgina

Just because of a few nights of harmless fun?

Serena

It wasn't fun waking up and not knowing where I was. It wasn't fun missing the SATs and it DEFINITELY wasn't fun lying to Dan.

Georgina

[snorts] And this is all my fault because... [Serena cuts in]

Serena

It's my fault because I make huge mistakes when I'm with you.

Serena

This is not about last year, Georgina, it's about last night!

Georgina

Like you are some innocent bystander who walked in on... [Serena cuts in]

Serena

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT IT, GEORGINA, OKAY? And neither are you. If I'm going down, you're going down with me. In the meantime? Stay out of my life.

Georgina

I don't need anyone in my life who doesn't want to be there.

Serena

Then we're agreed.

Lily

Where do you think you're going?

Serena

I can't talk right now Mom, I'll explain later.

Lily

If you invite an old friend to our quiet family dinner, I expect you to stay and eat.

Lily

You know how I'd always love it when Georgina came around.

Georgina

I ran into Lily in the lobby. You totally forgot to tell Lily I was coming for dinner.

Georgina

Did you get my present?

Blair

What happened? What's wrong? Talk to me.

Serena

[Serena starts crying] I can't.

Blair

Of course you can.

Serena

[sobbing] No, no, B, this is the one thing I can't tell you. I can't tell anyone.

Blair

I'm not anyone. I'm me, you can tell me anything.

Serena

[sobbing] No I can't, because then you'll be a part of this and I can't let you be a part of this.

Blair

What are you talking about? You're starting to scare me.

Blair

Hey, hey, hey, we're sisters. You're my family. What is you is me. There's nothing that you could ever say to make me let go. I love you.

Blair

What is it?

Serena

I killed someone.

I mean, people thought that I was Gossip Girl.

Serena

[laughs] You have to admit, it made sense at the time.

Serena

This is not a game!

Georgina

Aww c'mon, I'm just having a little fun.
