Gossip Girl Quotes From "Summer Kind of Wonderful"

You can imagine our reaction when we opened our office door yesterday morning to find a DVD of the Gossip Girl Season 2 premiere: O.M.F.G.

Yes, the CW sent us a copy because we're that awesome. Or because they think we'll tell you about it, then you'll get excited and wanna watch.

We'll post a full recap of "Summer Kind of Wonderful" tomorrow for those of you who love Gossip Girl spoilers. Right now? A small tease.

Below are some of the best lines from the episode. These Gossip Girl quotes don't give away too much, but if you want to be totally surprised on September 1, we suggest you cease reading this post at this time...

Dan: [to Serena] I haven't been able to get you out of my head all summer. I was hoping when I saw you, I would know that we did the right thing. But I don't feel that way. I don't feel that way at all.

Chuck: [to Nate] By the way, Archibald, now that the summer's over I can tell you I never believed any of the talk that you hit it with my sis... [sees Blair] Morning, Waldorf.
Blair: It was until now.

Blair: [to Serena] At least I could have gotten a more interesting stand-in than James. You know how hard it is to find a good fake boyfriend on short notice?

Blair: I would be in my cabana at the Hotel de Cat, and there he would be. Amid all the fireworks on Bastille Day, all I could see was that... Chuck Bass-tard!

Jenny: [on the phone] Look, ... I know I acted like a complete and total raging bitch last year, but what you don't know is how bad I felt about it all summer. You were the only person who was friends with me for me, and I hurt you the worst.
Eric: Well, you did get yours in the end. And since I don't have many friends myself, I guess I could use every lying, manipulating, backstabbing one I can get. What did you have in mind?

Chuck: You're lying.
Blair: I am not.
Chuck: Your eyes are doing that thing where they don't match your mouth.
Blair: I wasn't aware that robots got jealous. Did they update your software while I was away?

Blair: What about all those rumors about you and Nate?
Serena: Mmm mmm. Not true. They just got people off my back so I could stop being sad, and Nate could go do whatever he wants, so it worked out for both of us.
Blair: You mean you haven't had ANY fun with anyone all summer?
Serena: There's this hot lifeguard that asked me out, but I, you know, I turned him down
Blair: A hot lifeguard is like kleenex! Use once and throw away. You could ask for a better rebound!

Gossip Girl: Unlike the rest of us, sex lies and scandal never take a vacation. Instead, they take the Long Island Expressway and head east - to the Hamptons! Some of us would say summer is the busiest season. Think Park Avenue, but with Tennis whites, and Band de Soleil. The players change, but the game remains the same.

Nate: She knows ... that I'm seeing someone... that I'm not ready to introduce to everyone yet.
Katherine: [slams him against the seat]
Nate: ... Or ever?

Gossip Girl: They say summer love is fleeting. But sometimes what starts as a fling, can lead to the real thing. A simple trip to the beach can be all it takes to clear our heads and open our heads, and write a new ending to an old story. There are those who got burned by the heat. They just want to forget and start over. While there are others who want each moment to last forever. But everyone can agreed on one thing - tans fade, highlights go dark, and we all get sick of getting sand in our shoes. But summer is the beginning of a new season, so we find ourselves looking to the future. You ain't seen nothin' yet. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Chuck: Please don't leave with him.
Blair: Why? Give me a reason... and "I'm Chuck Bass" doesn't count.
Chuck: 'Cause you don't want to.
Blair: That's not enough.
Chuck: 'Cause I don't want you to.
Blair: That's not enough.
Chuck: What else is there?
The true reason I should stay right where I am and not get in the car. Three words. Eight letters. Say it... that I'm yours.
Chuck: I... I ... [pause]
Blair: Thank you. That's all I needed here.

Katherine: Why did you kiss Serena?
Nate: You said we were through!
Katherine: I can't believe you would try to make me jealous in front of my husband and our friends.
Nate: [pause] Did it work?
Katherine: Completely.

Serena: Dan... Dan wait.
Dan: No thank you.
Serena: Dan, I didn't expect to see you. You surprised me.
Dan: Well, I have to say... you didn't.

Dan: I miss that little laugh of yours.

Gossip Girl: When words get in the way, there's really only one thing left to do.

James: We have something in common.
Blair: I look good too?
James: Not just that. I'm afraid I haven't been honest with you. It's what I was trying to tell you before ...
Blair: Okay spill it.
James: I don't go to Georgetown or Princeton or any other school for that matter. I'm afraid I slipped up on that detail. My name is actually Marcus Beaton. I'm actually British and... a Lord.

Gossip Girl: Spotted: Serena and Nate in a massive display of PDA... and that's exactly what Dan Humphrey is. Pretty. Damn. Angry.

Blair: Is something wrong?
James: You're just using me to make that guy jealous.
Blair: I ...
James: It's no wonder you hate Charade. It hits too close to home.
Blair: Chuck is an awful person. He does awful things.
James: And you think you're any different? I can't believe I've been so stupid. I bet you don't even like me at all.
Blair: Not really. I mean... you're kinda boring.
James: Am I? Or are you just too interested in yourself to get to know me? You two deserve each other.

Eric: [about Chuck] He's got a P.I. on speed-dial?!

Dan: I've tried not to think about her all summer. I was afraid that if I did, that ... I'd see that I made a huge mistake.
Rufus: Well, you've been running all summer. Maybe it's time you turned around and faced it.

Katherine: Well Nathaniel, you have a choice. Either under the bed or out the window.
Nate: Your husband? I thought he wasn't going to home until next week!
Katherine: Seems he's home early.

Blair: Damn that mother Chucker! He's totally right! I don't even like James!
Serena: Thank you. I was totally waiting for that.

Eric: [to Chuck] Yeah... 'How Well Do You Know Blair Waldorf' is a little boring to those of us who actually know Blair Waldorf.

Gossip Girl: Chuck Bass waiting for the Jitney. A dozen roses in one hand, his heart in the other. You know what they say: A man is a good thing to come home for. But an even better thing to come home with.

Gossip Girl: Ain't karma a bitch? We know Blair Waldorf is.

Gossip Girl: Spotted: Blair Waldorf at Charles de Gaulle, homeward bound. What could possibly make Queen B abandon her two dads before Labor Day? We bet Chuck Bass wants to know.

Skank on Beach: Mister Chuck, is there anything you need caretaking of?
Chuck: The only thing I need to take care of... is you. (looks at other skanks) And you, and you ...

Serena: Blair will never forgive you for what you did to her.
Chuck: Who told you that little piece of advice, your boyfriend Nate?
Serena: Nate didn't say anything ...
Chuck: Good. I don't think it's wise taking relationship advice from someone in a FAKE relationship. Call me crazy. (pause) Enjoy another night alone with your thoughts.
Serena: Good luck on your suicide mission!
