Popular Dan Humphrey Quotes
Blair: You'd better hope I can stop your fantasy life from destroying my real one.
Dan: Blair, I never wanted us to come between you too.
Blair: When are you going to get it through your head? There's no us! There never was. There's nothing here but friendship, and even that's gone now.
Chuck: You're making a big mistake.
Louis: In thinking that Blair could be trusted? Yes. She will always have her secrets. She can't exist without them/ You were right after all.
Chuck: You shouldn't listen to me. If you read Dan's book you know how I turn out. You have a chance at having love in your life. Not ending up alone, hanging in a closet. Don't give up. Or your own fact will be someone else's fiction.
Dan: I'm sorry you're not hurt.
Serena: No, not hurt. Mystified. In high school, you were the only one who saw me for who I really was. Or who I wanted to be. You helped me be somebody that I was more proud of.
Dan: I didn't know.
Dan: If you can't tell the difference between what I did to Blair and what I did to you, then maybe your portrayal in the book is more accurate than you thought.
Serena: That sounds exactly like something Dylan Hunter would say.
Dan: Hey Dad.
Rufus: Your reviews. I guess you have a lot of reading to do today.
Dan: Is everything okay?
Rufus: Well last night was your big night. I didn't want to ruin it for you.
Dan: Well it kind of went down on its own. What's going on? Did you not like the book?
Rufus: Of course I did, you're a beautiful writer. It just... broke my heart.
Dan: Dad.
Rufus: I gave up my career to raise you and I never regretted it, not once. Until yesterday when I read what you really think about it. A has-been turned trophy husband who married for money.
Dan: No, that is not what I think of you. You more than anybody should understand artistic license.
Rufus: I never expected to be your hero. I just didn't think I'd end up the fool.
Chuck: Humphrey, I'm feeling like my old self again.
Dan: Me too. Although not in a good way. I really thought the days of everyone turning their backs on me were over.
Chuck: Well, at last this time it's because they hate you and not because they don't know you exist. Be patient. Soon your literary misdeeds will be forgotten.
Serena: I may have overreacted about how you portrayed me in the book.
Dan: Thank you so much. You know I have to admit it's been kind of hard. My dad and Nate and Blair still won't talk to me.
Serena: Well things are looking up then. One down, three to go.
Dan: Never thought you'd be the first.
Serena: I am full of surprises. You know that.
Alessandra: Public television is the last bastion of the intellectual. If this goes well, Charlie Rose could be next.
Dan: Oh, that's a good tactic. Piling on the pressure right before your already-prone-to-nervous-rambling client goes on live television for the first time.
Serena: I followed Jane all the way done to her town car apologizing, and even then I don't think it was enough. Thank you for waiting.
Dan: I didn't want to. You scared away everyone, and now no one wants the book.
Serena: Dan—
Dan: Your apology this morning was just strategic, wasn't it?
Serena: Yeah. Pretty much.
Serena: I finally finished the book.
Dan: I told you, it's not you. Yes, there are parts of you. And Daisy Buchanan. And Amy March. And Gwyneth Paltrow. Five different roles she's played. But it's a novel. It's inspired by a lot of things. It isn't speaking to some deeper truth.
Serena: Are you sure? Because I know this may sound crazy or selfish or... like I'm living in the past or something. But you were the love of my life, Dan. I don't know, I just thought I was yours too.
Dan: Without you inspiring me from the beginning I wouldn't have been able to write anything, so I owe you one. And despite the events of the day, you know, I trust you. I do have one condition: I want to write the screenplay.
