Nate Archibald quotes from Gossip Girl

Blair

What are you doing here, Nate?

Nate

Well, I, um... Look, you know, after rehearsal I just, uh, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I mean, the ball's something we've talked about doing together since we were, like ten years old. And I've given you every reason to hate me.

Blair

True. Keep going.

Nate

And the Prince, he's a great dancer and all. But, is there any chance you'd go with me instead? For old times' sake.

Blair

Nate, after what you pulled on my birthday, the only thing we should be doing together is moving on.

Nate

Yeah, I know. [Pause] Look, I haven't worn this sweater since forever. I just pulled it off, and I found this. [Shows Blair the heart pin]

Blair

It's my pin. I sewed it there so you would always have my heart on your sleeve.

Nate

I know. I figured you might want it back or something.

Blair

No! It was a gift. [Considers Nate's offer] The Prince will understand. Maybe we should go to the ball together... as friends.

Nate

Absolutely.

Blair

But only as friends.

Nate

Just friends.

Nate

Did you sleep with her huh? You son of a bitch, I ought to kill you!

Chuck

Can we talk about this without your hands around my neck?

Nate

What did you do? Did you get want you want like you did with all those other girls?

Chuck

Yes, Nathaniel! I took what Blair kept throwing at you and what you kept throwing back!

Nate

Oh, so somehow you screwing Blair for sport is my fault?

Chuck

It wasn't for sport. She needed someone and I was there.

Nate

Oh, so you cared about her?

Chuck

You guys were broken up.

Nate

For how long? A week? An hour?

Chuck

Look, I am sorry, alright! Look, I know how long you and I have been best friends, okay!

Nate

No it's not okay, Chuck. From now on you stay away from me. [Walks off]

Chuck

Nate.

Nate

You hear what I said? You stay the hell away from me, Chuck!

Blair

Cat! Cat! Cat! Ew!

Nate

You don't have a cat, Jenny.

Blair

My name is Blair.

Nate

You don't have anyone. [Smirking]

Blair

But I'm Blair! I'M BLAIR!!!

Nate

Hey, so, I may have told Blair you told me the truth about her and Chuck. And I'm sure she didn't applaud to that. Look, you don't know what you're dealing with here.

Jenny

I'm not scared of Blair, Nate.

Nate

No, I'm not talking about... I'm talking about your new circle. I mean, they've been friends with Blair since forever and look what they're doing to her! You fall out of line, what do you think is going to happen to you?

Jenny

Well, then, I won't fall out of line.

Nate

I'm not saying you're going to... Look, just, you're not like those girls, Jenny.

Jenny

That's weird, Nate. You'd think they're my friends, so we'd have some stuff in common.

Nate

Okay. Well, I will give you this - you've got good aim.

Nate

Next time your sister's band is in town, I want front row seats.

Vanessa

[laughs] You don't strike me as a lesbian punk fan.

Nate

You know, I'm almost offended by how much you underestimate me, Miss Abrams.

Vanessa

You like punk?

Nate

Oh, I didn't hear you... You said punk? Because you had me at lesbian.

Vanessa

[laughs] Right. Didn't see that coming.

Nate

So...

Vanessa

So...

Nate

I guess this is goodnight, then?

Vanessa

I don't live here, you know.

Nate

No, I know.

Vanessa

I'm just grabbing my laptop.

Nate

Oh. [Nate looks as if he really wants to kiss Vanessa]

Vanessa

Do you want to come inside?

Nate

Umm... [looks inside shop]

Vanessa

God, this does feel like that doorstep moment.

Nate

And what moment would that be?

Blair

[to Nate and Chuck] I need your help.

Nate

What's going on with her?

Serena

Dan puts me on a pedestal. If he knew the truth he would never look at me again.

Chuck

You're starting to scare even me. What did you do?

Nate

C'mon, you can tell us.

Blair

We've seen you with vomit in your hair, making out with investment bankers in the men's room at PJ Clarks. You don't have to hide anything from us.

Nate

She's right, Serena, I mean none of us are saints.

Blair

Yeah. [points back at Chuck] I had sex with him in the back of a limo.

Chuck

Several times.

Nate

I had sex with you, at a wedding while I was her date. [looks at Chuck] Once.

Chuck

I'm Chuck Bass.

Blair

You can tell us anything. [Serena shakes her head] We don't judge. We're the non-judging Breakfast Club. We're your best friends. Anything you do is something we did too.

Serena

If I tell you, it can never leave this room.

Nate

What about her?

Serena

Well, something happened the night of the Shepards' wedding.

Blair

I think we're all aware of what happened that night.

Serena

No, something else. Something I've tried to escape but Georgina won't let me. And now she's blackmailing me.

Nate

[shocked] Blackmailing you?

Chuck

With what, exactly?

Serena

Well, it started when Blair thought you and I had too much to drink. She told us to get some air, go outside, sober up.

Serena

If the happy couple didn't want the cashier for the premium bar, they should have made it BYOB.

Serena

Instead, we ended up in the bar and I opened that bottle of champagne and we... well...

Blair

We can skip that part, okay?

Chuck

Go ahead, I'll fill her in later.

Serena

I left in a hurry. I felt so terrible, so guilty for what I'd just done. I just... I had to get out of there.

Serena

[to the cab driver] East Hill Hotel, please.

Serena

Georgina and I had plans to meet up after, so I headed straight to her... little did I know, she had a surprise waiting for me.

Serena

Because I would rather Dan think I cheated on him than know what I really did.

Nate

What you really did?

Chuck

I need to talk to you. Your father's leaving.

Nate

He just stepped out to call my mom.

Vanessa

Everything okay? [Chuck says "no" at the same time that Nate says "yes"]

Chuck

He had his car brought around.

Nate

He probably left his phone in it.

Chuck

Right before the ceremony I saw him with a guy doing a deal. Looked like drugs.

Nate

My father is clean, Chuck. What are you spying on him?

Chuck

Look, I know you hate me. I was in love with Blair and I'm sorry. We do not have time to argue about this.

Nate

Thank you.

Chuck

It's your dad. It's bigger than...all the other stuff.

Nate

I'm sorry...for all of it. [They shake hands]

Chuck

So am I.

Nate

So you said you loved her. Uh, never heard you say that before...about anyone.

Nate

No offense, but don't you think you're a little outmatched?

Chuck

At squash? I've been playing my father since 8th grade, how good can Marcus be?

Nate

No, I mean as a guy. Blair wants to be a princess and your greatest achievement is owning part of a burlesque club.

Chuck

Which is why I have to get to know him. No one is that perfect. Once I get him outta the way, I'll have a clear shot with Blair.

Nate

You know it's love when you start talking like an assassin.

Chuck

I think you're jealous of my new best friend!

Nate

Well I have been hoping someone else would tag in for awhile.

Nate

I told you that in confidence!

Catherine

You told me that in bed.

Nate

You're really sweet with him.

Blair

Me? Sweet? No!

Nate

But you are. I mean worrying about him, offering him food, it's downright maternal.

Blair

I'm not maternal. I've just been spending too much time with Cyrus and I'm turning Jewish.
