	Season 2 / Episode 15: - Gone with the Will Serena van der Woodsen: [reads Gossip Girl on Blair's phone] Nothing yet on Lonely Boy though we did find out he brown-bags it for lunch and today's plat du jour, a tuna sandwich.

	Season 2 / Episode 14: - In the Realm of the Basses Serena van der Woodsen: [to Blair] Hey, did Jack find Chuck? Blair Waldorf: Yeah, what was left of him. I'm surprised they made it through Customs. Chuck's body odor could have given a contact high to half of Manhattan.

	Season 2 / Episode 10: - Bonfire of the Vanity Blair Waldorf: He's totally unsuitable. Serena van der Woodsen: Who? Blair Waldorf: Cyrus. He's five feet tall. He has a catchphrase. And he's a hugger. I was expecting Cary Grant and I got Danny DeVito!

[looks at the picture of Emma's mom and another guy kissing] Serena van der Woodsen: Chuck's seeing if the doorman knows Emma's guy. Blair Waldorf: Why? Who cares about him? Serena van der Woodsen: Blair no, this poor little girl's mother's having an affair no wonder she's acting out. Blair Waldorf: So this is my golden ticket. [refers back to the picture] Serena van der Woodsen: You are not blackmailing that woman to get into Yale! Blair Waldorf: Serena! Open your eyes, this is a sign from God he wants me to do this.

Blair Waldorf: The guy gave you a ring pop when you were six, move on. Serena van der Woodsen: It was licorice and I was eight. Blair Waldorf: Ancient unimportant history, focus Serena you got me into this and I'm not losing Yale because that little twarts libido!
	Season 2 / Episode 8: - Pret-A-Poor-J Serena van der Woodsen: Hey, hey do you know what happened? Why is Blair so upset? Dan Humphrey: Look, Blair and Chuck were gonna self disrupt at some point so I just may have helped it along. Serena van der Woodsen: Wait, you intentionally sabotaged Blair? Dan Humphrey: I know your upset and that was not my intention but I just found out they completely screwed over Vanessa. Serena van der Woodsen: No, whatever they did to Vanessa is different. This is about two people who love each other. Dan Humphrey: Blair and Chuck? Come on. Serena van der Woodsen: I don't understand, I thought you wanted to help Blair. Dan Humphrey: No I did this for you because you wanted me to help her. I don't care about Blair Waldorf, all of this is a game to her. Serena van der Woodsen: No, in this case it's not.

	Season 2 / Episode 8: - Pret-A-Poor-J Dan Humphrey: Blair Waldorf in Brooklyn. Are you two lost? Serena van der Woodsen: Will you talk to her please?

	Season 2 / Episode 8: - Pret-A-Poor-J Blair Waldorf: You have to help me destroy Chuck Bass. Dan Humphrey: Alright I'll take that as my cue to leave. Blair Waldorf: Oh your very perceptive. [Dan starts to leave but Serena stops him] Serena van der Woodsen: Dan wait. [starts talking to Blair] If your having a problem with Chuck then a man's perspective could be helpful. Blair Waldorf: Ya know just because you two are making a doomed attempt to being friends doesn't mean I have to play the enabler. Serena van der Woodsen: Blair come on. Dan Humphrey: Well if your plotting against Chuck Bass then I'm sure I can think of something. Blair Waldorf: Fine. I have an itch that only Chuck can scratch and he won't oblige unless I tell him I love him. Dan Humphrey: You need help getting Chuck to sleep with you, really?
	Season 2 / Episode 7: - Chuck In Real Life Serena van der Woodsen: Let them discipline the sibling that actually deserves it. Blair Waldorf: You mean Chuck? [Blair slightly smiles and notices Serena looking at her] What? Serena van der Woodsen: You smiled. Blair Waldorf: No I didn't! I hate Chuck! Don't make me lost my appetite.

	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Serena van der Woodsen: Brown is an Ivy league school. Blair Waldorf: Everyone knows that the only real Ivies are the holy trinity: Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Serena van der Woodsen: Well I know you may find this hard to believe but not everyone wants to go to Yale because not everyone wants to be Blair Waldorf. Blair Waldorf: Not everyone can be. Since we're not friends anymore let me speak frankly, your not that smart. You lack focus and discipline. Charm is all well and good but in the real world knowledge is power. You wouldn't make it past the first round of admissions at Yale no matter how hard you tried. Have fun in Providence. [Blair walks off]
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Blair Waldorf: What are you doing Serena? Serena van der Woodsen: Oh these lovely people were just showing me the course catalog. Blair Waldorf: No, here Yale. Yale is mine. Serena van der Woodsen: Well I admit I came to punish you for the things you said to me this morning. Blair Waldorf: Fine, consider me punished. You can go home now!
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Serena van der Woodsen: I'm so glad they did this alphabetically, cause now I get to see the look on your face when I use your answer even sooner. Blair Waldorf: I can tell you right now the look on my face will be a vindication.
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Serena van der Woodsen: I can't do it anymore Blair. Blair Waldorf: That's because you almost lost. I had you pinned with that chicken wing, don't deny it. Serena van der Woodsen: I don't mean this, I mean everything. The wars, the betrayal, the watching out for every possible land mine. It's exhausting. Blair Waldorf: I'm sick of it too. I'm sick of always looking like Darth Vader next to sunshine Barbie. Life's to short, but you make it feel so long. Serena van der Woodsen: Well if that's how we feel then maybe, maybe we shouldn't be friends. We were probably gonna grow apart in college anyway, so might as well just start now right? Blair Waldorf: Fine by me. You'll live your life, I'll live mine. Serena van der Woodsen: That sounds great. Blair Waldorf: I agree.
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Blair Waldorf: What are you doing here? Making sure the Dean knows it's all my fault? Serena van der Woodsen: No - I came to tell him that Yale is your dream and you deserve to go here more than I do. What are you doing here? Blair Waldorf: Doing the same thing for you.
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Blair Waldorf: I don't wanna not know you. I can't not know you. Serena van der Woodsen: Maybe we just had that fight because the reality of being separated next year is just scary to think about. Blair Waldorf: So... [Serena grabs Blair's hand] Serena van der Woodsen: Wait for me. We'll ride home together. Blair Waldorf: Okay.
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Serena van der Woodsen: I won't accept, I can't like this. [talking about her Yale acceptance] Blair Waldorf: What? No you have to. It doesn't matter how you got it or why, it's an opportunity. Serena van der Woodsen: No your my best friend. What's mine is yours. Blair Waldorf: You can't share this. Serena van der Woodsen: We'll find a way, together. [hugs Blair]
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Serena van der Woodsen: You look calm for someone who no longer has the perfect answer to the Dean's question. Blair Waldorf: You don't think I came all the way here without a backup answer do you? Oh and it's a real crowd pleaser, it's gonna kill.
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Blair Waldorf: Trying to come up with an answer for the Dean's parlor game? Serena van der Woodsen: You manipulated your way in here? Blair Waldorf: I get what I want Serena. Just like I'm gonna win tonight. What's your answer? Oh, no let me guess - Lauren Conrad? Serena van der Woodsen: Try George Sand. Blair Waldorf: Wait that's... Serena van der Woodsen: Your answer? Not anymore. If your gonna cheat your way in then why should I play fair. Oh and I heard that the Dean asks his question in alphabetical order so since V comes before W, looks like the answers all mine.
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - New Haven Can Wait Serena van der Woodsen: I cannot believe you did this. Blair Waldorf: Why? It's not like you don't deserve it. Dean Berube: Ms. van der Woodsen, would you like to explain? Serena van der Woodsen: No, of course Dean Berube. Pete Fairman was a man that I knew. Blair Waldorf: Man slash dealer. Dean Berube: Ms. Waldorf let her speak. Serena van der Woodsen: He died almost two years ago when I was with him. What happened was a tragedy and I am filled with regret over it, but I was not responsible. Blair Waldorf: Were you responsible for the sextape? Serena van der Woodsen: Blair! Blair Waldorf: It wasn't very sexy if you ask me. Serena van der Woodsen: Blair that's enough let's go! Dean Berube, do you mind if we um, sort this out privately please? Dean Berube: Take all the time you need.
