Dan, Serena and others in “A Thin Line Between Chuck and Nate”

Hey! What are you doing here?

I need to know why you love me.

Because I do.

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.

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

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

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.

Now you're embarrassing me.

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.

Yeah, well, I tried to be.

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

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.

What? what--what is it this time?

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