- Quotes
Chuck Bass: Are you ready for your present?
[Blair grabs his hair and pulls]
Chuck Bass: Owww! If you wanted to play ROUGH all you had to do was ask!
Blair Waldorf: You nauseate me!
Chuck Bass: All this talk about how you have to be with Nate, or the world will end. Face it, it's over!
Blair Waldorf: You sound like a jealous boyfriend.
Chuck Bass: Yeah, right! You wish!
Blair Waldorf: No. You wish!
Chuck Bass: Please, you forget who you're talking to.
Blair Waldorf: So do you. Do you... like me?
Chuck Bass: Define "like"?
Blair Waldorf: Ohh! Ahh! You have got to be kidding! I do not believe this.
Chuck Bass: How do you think I feel! I haven't slept, I feel sick - like there is something in my stomach... fluttering.
Blair Waldorf: Butterflies? Oh, no, no, no, no, no! No, no, no! This is not happening!
Chuck Bass: Believe me, no one is more surprised or ashamed than I am.
Blair Waldorf: Chuck, you know that I adore all of God's creatures and the metaphors that they inspire, but those butterflies have got to be murdered!
Chuck Bass: Fine! It wasn't that great anyway.
Blair Waldorf: Thanks!

Secondly, the scene between Blair and Chuck at night is great. She says to him: 'Wait a minute. Do you like me?' Horror of horrors, he does. 'You have got to be kidding', she says. 'How d'you think I feel?' Chuck responds. 'I haven't slept. I feel like butterflies fluttering in my stomach.' Blair ends the conversation by saying: 'This is not happening. Those butterflies, have got to be murdered.' Not only is this good writing, but Leighton Meester's delivery of these lines is exquisite. She really is a good actress even though she's playing a superficial character.
This scene is followed by another scene where Dan is introduced to Blair at her 17th birthday. Blair whispers to Serena: 'This is such a problem.' I know exactly how that feels. I've been introduced to people in church and I could see in their eyes them saying to themselves: 'This is such a problem. Why do I have to engage with this person?'
Dan's experience in high society is a universal experience that transcends the place and culture of the series.
