Some families actually do make the Yuletide gay, managing to leave their troubles far away. [scene cuts to the Humphreys] Other families have a merry little Christmas even when their troubles aren't so far away. [scene cuts to the van der Woodsens] Some presents might end up getting returned. Some gifts are for keeps. [scene cuts to Rufus standing outside the Palace] Other presents come when you least expect them. [scene cuts back to Bart Bass down on one knee] And everyone knows the biggest present comes in the smallest box. [scene cuts to Blair picking up her phone to read Chuck's text message] Then there are those boxes you wish you had never opened. Have a holly, jolly Christmas! XOXO Gossip Girl.

How glad are you that our two families are merging together, sis?
So glad that if you ever call me that again it will be the last thing you ever say, Chuck!
Who knew B and C were such patrons of the arts? Call it philanthropy or bribery, it looks like everyone has their price...
You're sick!
You're welcome!
Spotted -- Lonely Boy learning that when the punishment fits the crime, there's no reason you can't serve your sentence in style...
[to Chuck]: What's that? Your stripper money?
[to Ms. Queller] I'm innocent. Well, except for a crime of passion. I did something stupid with someone and even worse than doing that stupid thing I did the same stupid thing with someone else and pretended I had never done that stupid thing before. You look confused, should I walk you through it?
So what will it be, Dan? Cheerios and Chaucer, or an illegal party at your prep school pool with your high society girlfriend and her nasty cohorts?
Dad. Vanessa and I are going out.
[to Serena] Why don't I turn that one-piece into a no-piece?
If you didn't pay your rent with it, what did you do with Chuck's money?
I may have created a medical grant for teens with genital herpes. In his name.
S1 E13A Thin Line Between Chuck and Nate
I need to know how you and Jenny would feel if I went out tonight, for a drink...with a woman.
Well, I guess I'd feel like you shouldn't wear that shirt or there will not be a second date.
Really?
Really, really.
Thanks. Now I guess I just have to worry about Jenny then.
[Jenny comes in]
Good morning.
Hi.
Good morning sunshine!
Dad. Where'd you get that shirt?
What's wrong with this shirt?
Nothing, as long as you don't plan to wear it out of the house.
Worse. He plans on wearing on a date.
For drinks, if that's okay.
Whatever.
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]
Is there a reason you're here?
Stay. Don't let these things make you run away like it did me. Like it does everybody in our world.
Every thing's horrible. My whole life is falling apart.
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.
I'm so embarrassed. I'm so...
So, what? Start over. It can be done, I should know. We can get through this together.
Promise?
Promise. [hugs Blair]
Did you tell Dan I slept with Chuck?
What?
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!
No, Blair - Dan and Jenny aren't like that. They would never do that.
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!
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.
I will.
You're all I have left.
Actually, you don't even have me.
Enough.
I'll try to be more succinct. You held a certain fascination when you were beautiful, delicate and untouched. But now you're like...one of the Arabians my father used to own. Rode hard and put away wet. I don't want you anymore and I can't see why anyone else would.
