Quotes 

• Serena van der Woodsen : [covers Dan's eyes and kisses him] 

  Dan Humphrey : Oh, Chuck, I had no idea you felt that way about me!

• [the Palace Hotel calls Dan's cell] 

  Dan Humphrey : Hey, I've been wondering where you were.

  Chuck Bass : You mean all your life?

• Rufus Humphrey : [to Jenny]  You used to cry when I didn't walk you to school.

  Jenny Humphrey : That wasn't me. That was Dan.

  Dan Humphrey : I was six. It was a very emotional time for me, post T-ball.

• Dan Humphrey : [thinks it's Serena on the phone]  Hey, I've been wondering where you were.

  Chuck Bass : [but it's not Serena]  You mean all of your life?

  Dan Humphrey : Don't take this the wrong way, Serena, but you sound just like this jackass we know.

  Chuck Bass : Serena has food poisoning. She's too sick to come to your play date.

  Dan Humphrey : Put her on the phone.

  Chuck Bass : The bathroom doesn't get reception.

  Dan Humphrey : Somehow I don't believe you.

  Chuck Bass : And I would like to say I'm a little glad about that, but my poor sick sister has asked for my assistance in the matter, so I'll leave it at this. She's not coming. Don't try calling. Humphrey, always a pleasure.

• [Serena covers Dan's eyes and kisses him] 

  Dan Humphrey : Oh Chuck, I had no idea you felt like that about me.

• Dan Humphrey : I can't concentrate.

  Jenny Humphrey : The sound of your own voice annoying you?

• Dan Humphrey : [Dad bought Jenny a sewing machine to replace the one she had pawned]  No one's happier than me to see this. You know how much it costs to have a zipper repaired?

  Rufus Humphrey : I figured since you'd be spending so much time at home...

  Jenny Humphrey : Wait, what...?

  Dan Humphrey : So I guess you're still grounded.

  Rufus Humphrey : [admonishing]  Dan!

  Jenny Humphrey : Dad, wait. I met this really nice guy, I'm supposed to meet him in the park for lunch tomorrow.

  Rufus Humphrey : Well, grounded or not grounded, you're not old enough to date.

  Jenny Humphrey : It's not a date, he's just a friend.

  Dan Humphrey : Who is this guy?

  Jenny Humphrey : You don't know him. He goes to Unity.

  Rufus Humphrey : Wait, Upper East Side Unity?

  Dan Humphrey : I'm thinking it's Upper West Side, Dad.

  Jenny Humphrey : How are you helping?

  Rufus Humphrey : I thought you wanted to take a break from that whole crowd.

  Jenny Humphrey : What whole crowd?

  Rufus Humphrey : The one that made you feel like compromising your character was a prerequisite to hanging out with them.

  Jenny Humphrey : So, it's okay for Dan to be dating someone rich now?

  Dan Humphrey : Oh, well, not without its complications, believe me.

  Rufus Humphrey : [to Jenny]  I thought you said it wasn't a date.

  Jenny Humphrey : [looks intensely at Dad, then goes:]  Oh!

  [storms off angrily]
