Gossip Girl Season 4 Episode 18: "The Kids Stay in the Picture" Quotes
Lily: I can't believe you asked Carol here without clearing it with me first.
Cece: What's to ask? You're her sister! And besides, I knew you'd say no.
This isn't about work or time, Dorota. It's about the truth. Something happened recently that revealed my future and I've been hiding ever since 'cause I don't want to deal with it.
Blair
Blair: Take that away, Dorota! I can't eat! I only rang to tell you to call the doctor. I think I have consumption.
Dorota: Consumption not since 19th century. They have vaccine.
Blair: Well then I'm dying of malaise!
Dan: I mean, it was just once. And it was weird.
Eric: Oh I would expect so. Yes.
Dan: But weird, good? Like "Wow, that's weird this is such a god kiss." Or weird bad, like, you know, just "Wow. Weird."
Eric: I would... She didn't give you any indication at the time?
Dan: No. No. She just walked away—stunned, left me standing there in the foyer.
Eric: Mysterious.
Dan: I know, right? I mean, I did what I thought was the polite thing. Called her the next day, It's been almost a week and I haven't heard back.
Eric: Wait. Wait, why do you care so much? Do you...do you like her?
Dan: What? No no no. I don't like her. No, of course not. Not at all. I'm just curious. And you, I mean, she does... she does smell nice.
Eric: Oh, you are ass backwards crushing on Blair Waldorf!
Dan: You swear not to tell anyone? Or laugh?
Eric: Ah, I'll take your secret to my grave, but laughter is an uncontrollable bodily response.
Dan: I kissed Blair Waldorf.
Eric: Wow I didn't see that coming.
Eric: Thank you for letting me hide out here. I just needed a time out from my mom and my grandma and my dad and... your dad.
Dan: Oh yeah. I mean, of course. My house is your safe house.
Eric: I'm surprised Serena didn't call you and ask you to be her back-up.
Dan: She did. But I figured I'd dodge that war. Hey, does William Carlos Williams go under W or C?
Eric: Hm. This is the first time I've ever seen you pass up a chance to save Serena. And you're alphabetizing. What's up?
Cece: Oh darling! Oh you look lovely in your mug shot. It was smart of you to turn yourself in so you could make sure your hair was done.
Lily: Yes mother. That's why I did it.
[on Blair] I think her "powerful woman" path hit a roadblock, and you know how important that is to her.
Serena
Chuck: How are things with William?
Serena: Well if I cut everyone out of my life who made a mistake I wouldn't have anyone left.
Chuck: On the topic of mistakes, do you know what one I might have made to cause Blair to cut me off?
Serena: You didn't talk to her after your party?
Chuck: She wouldn't let me in her room. When she said she didn't want to talk to me, I didn't think she meant "ever again." She's not seeing someone, is she?
Serena: No, not unless you count Dorota. She hasn't left her bed in a week.
Serena: Aren't you coming over for brunch?
Chuck: Lily thought it would be complicated enough without me.
Serena: What, my grandmother, my step-father, my father—who was last seen fleeing from the police. Complicated is an understatement.
Nate: You okay?
Raina: It's surreal. Everything happening to Lily is because of my dad, and I kind of feel like it's all my fault.
Nate: Look. It probably woulda happened sooner or later anyway.
Blair: Turn that off! And leave me alone, Dorota. I've taken to my bed.
Dorota: I thought hearing someone has life worse than yours would help.
Blair: Well your job isn't to think, it's to serve. So if I need your help I'll ring the bell.
