There Is No "We" in Summer, Only "U" and "Me"

My fave quotes and moments from tonight's episode of Gossip Girl...
blair and serena
Blair: It's like Roman Holiday. Only I'm Gregory Peck, and he's Audrey Hepburn.

* * * * *

Blair: Just because Marcus is the perfect post-Bass palate cleanser doesn't mean he isn't a tasty dish of his own!

* * * * *

What other show would feature the lascivious eating of chocolate-covered strawberries on the Jitney set to The Fratellis' "Tell Me a Lie"? Faaabulous.

* * * * *

Nate: Blair wants to be a princess, and your greatest achievement is owning part of a burlesque club.

* * * * *

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

* * * * *

Bromance at the squash court! Oh so very!

* * * * *

Blair: Dan likes soccer, right? Or football, as Marcus calls it. Think it would be too weird if he came?
Serena: Not necessarily.
Blair: Good. You'll call him?
Serena: Does this mean you actually think Dan has a redeeming quality?
Blair: As long as knows his arse from his Arsenal, I think he's aces.

* * * * *

Gossip Girl: Lordy, Lordy, look who's 40...or at least a well-preserved 38.

* * * * *

Chuck: I thought you might like to meet my friend.
Blair: Why? So she can warn me about the effects of too much Botox?
Catherine: Blair, is it? I'm Duchess Beaton.

* * * * *

Gossip Girl: What's this? Chuck's date and Blair's date are mother and son? And Nate and Blair are exes? And Nate and the mother are in a book club? Now there's a novel plot twist.

* * * * *

Blair: She made Waldorf rhyme with Spears! I may as well have gone commando and held my party at Nyla's Burger Basket!

* * * * *

Chuck has a heart of gold! He sells his club to help Nate's family! Basstronomical! ComBassionate! [swooning]

* * * * *

Really glad there was no Li'l J in this epi. She is a snore-bore.

* * * * *

Blair: Oh my effing God!

In the background, Santogold's "The Creator" accompanies Nate and Catherine's indiscretion. The lyrics are perfect.

Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion

* * * * *

Blair: Can I just say how sorry I am that I judged you earlier? I thought you were just a callow, social-climbing former swimsuit model who married above her station only to be enslaved by her own insecurities. When I saw you rolling around on the floor with my adolescent ex, I realized you have a compassionate side.

* * * * *

LCD Soundsystem's forlorn "New York, I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down" plays as Nate stands up Vanessa. Boo! Stop fooling around with the Duchess! Pick Vanessa, damn it!

  1. I don't watch GG, but after reading this: "Can I just say how sorry I am that I judged you earlier?

    I really wonder why. Hilario.

  10. Basshole=amazing!

    Favorite clothes moments:

    - Blair's Marc Jacobs two tone bow dress
    - Blair's pearl headband duruing the party
    - - Serena's necklaces during the party
    - Dorota's sunglasses during the party

    And I too am starting to like Vanessa. Just wish she'd quit it with all the gross clothes. I get it you don't have GG money! No need to look cheap tho.

  11. Basshole. Love it. Love, love, love GG.

  12. All GG aside, since I can't get into it - are you watching Fringe? I can't seem to get into that either.

  13. Maybe it's because I'm a bitch, but I cannot get behind the Vanessa character. I'm just so disinterested in her. But ditto your thoughts on Lil' J. Get rid of her already. Send her to boarding school in Switzerland or let her get an internship in France or something. Ugh. Disappear already.

    Definitely snickered at "Basshole."

    I don't know what the diff is between last season and this season, but I find Ed Westwick SUUUUUUUUPER sexy now!!

  14. So glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like Vanessa. She bores me too. My hubby thinks she's hot, which of course is even more annoying. I have a girl-crush on Blair. :)
