Chuck Bass Quotes
Lily: I don't care what Russell was doing behind the scenes. That's no excuse for the things you said to me.
Chuck: I can't believe you're on his side. This guy's trying to destroy our company.
Lily: Your company. You had me fired. I'm done trying to protect the Bass legacy. Russell will make a marvelous owner.
Chuck: What is it with this guy? Do you still have feelings for him?
Lily: Please, I'm a married woman.
Chuck: Didn't stop you from cheating on my father. I'm sure you'd do the same to Rufus.
Chuck: Look, you put family before all else. I can't do that. My father was never there for me. My mother abandoned and then betrayed me. My uncle is my worst enemy. But maybe your father isn't as perfect as you think.
Raina: What are you saying?
Chuck: He's the reason I went after Lily. He pitted me against her.
Raina: So you're trying to turn me against him?
Chuck: You think Raina will keep you on that pedestal once she learns what you've done?
Russell: Go find out. I think you know how much family means to Raina. Just as she now knows how little it means to you.
Chuck: We both know you're a socialite, not a businesswoman. You traded musicians for titans of industry. Upgraded from a tour bus to a corporate jet. I'm sorry, but I had to.
Lily: I've done nothing but tried to salvage that company for you. I stepped in so Jack wouldn't take it away. And every day since I have fought for your future. If we had stuck together on this, we would have won.
Chuck: It looks like I did anyway.
Lily: No you haven't, Charles, you've lost. And I'm not talking about Thorpe.
Chuck: I know Lily broke your heart. She broke my father's heart too. I want to be clear. My loyalty is with the Bass name only.
Russell: It's a lovely sentiment. But what does it mean?
Chuck: I'll do whatever it takes to remain with the company. If Lily's an obstacle, I'll handle it.
Russell: Saying it is one thing, Chuck. Following through is an entirely different matter.
Chuck: Do you actually know why your father hates mine? I always assumed it was a business deal gone bad, but maybe there's more to it.
Raina: I don't think so. My dad's too much of a gentleman to hold a grudge. And honestly, I don't even know how seriously they were. Either of them. I was at Penn at the time. Why? What did Lily say?
Chuck: Lily? Say about what?
Raina: You didn't know? She and my dad used to date. She left him for your father.
Chuck: Russell didn't become a billionaire by making money-losing decisions.
Nate: Look, you told me he had an issue with Bart, right? So maybe it isn't a business decision. Maybe it's personal.
Serena: Blair has to follow a socialite around on Valentine's Day. It's for work. She figured you wouldn't mind since everything with Raina is... you know.
Chuck: "I know," what?
Serena: Oh. Blair was wrong. You do have feelings for Raina.
I say where and when, people show up.
Imagine you're at a club. Forget the year, the continent. You don't want the night to end. In this case it doesn't have to. When the time is right you drift upstairs to a private room. You spend the night or just a few hours—it's up to you.
The Bass name has equity. I'd like the chance to prove that. All in one night. Tomorrow, to be exact. I've leased a landmark mansion outside the city. It's a destination. You travel to get there and the reservations are made before.
Lily: Well, I hope hosting this brunch proves to you once and for all I have the company's best interests at heart.
Chuck: And also elegantly forces the enemy to come to you.
Lily: Yes. Sun-Tzu is right beside Emily Post on my bookshelf.
