Rufus: Lily, she'll be okay.
Lily: This is your fault. It's not fair. I go away, then I come back and my daughter's not going to college. I trusted you.
Rufus: So trust me now. Don't force her.

[to Serena] I know I'm not the first guy that your mom's brought into your life, but if you and Eric will let me, I'd really like to be more to you than just Lily's most recent husband. Let me help you with this.

Rufus: Glad I had the number for City Harvest. This is all a little much.
Dan: A little much? This makes the Four Seasons look like ... one season.

Dan: I see the cat's out of the bag.
Rufus: And topless on Valentino's yacht.
Jenny: That's not fair. Everyone's topless on Valentino's yacht.
Rufus: What about this one where's she's dancing on the table?
Eric: Well, that's what you do in Barcelona.
Rufus: And this one with Prince Harry doing shots off of —
Dan: That's what you do in St. Tropez!

Rufus: Hope I'm doing the right thing.
Jenny: If you want to keep Serena out of the papers, Dad, this is the way to do it.

Rufus: Hey Dan, what's up.
Dan: Hey, you do realize the reason Serena and I broke up was the fact that she was so secretive. Now I'm the one keeping secrets.

Lily: Rufus. Your message said it was urgent. Has something happened?
Rufus: Dan knows. Or he doesn't yet. But I think he will soon. And I imagine he'll tell Serena. And I thought you should know.
Lily: Rufus, wait. What will they think of me?
Rufus: Serena and Eric? Well it's not my problem. We're each on our own, remember?
