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

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.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: Serena mentions knowing that it was Pope Pius XI who canonized Sir Thomas More as a Saint by watching the TV show The Tudors. This is impossible as The Tudors is a historical drama only covering the reign of Henry VIII (1509-1547); Pope Pius XI canonized More as a saint in 1935.

TRIVIA

This is the third time that Blair has a dream in which she is a character that was played by Audrey Hepburn in a movie. The first time this happened was in "Gossip Girl" (2007) {Bad News Blair (#1.4)} with Blair being Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), whom she also impersonated in "Gossip Girl" (2007) {The Blair Bitch Project (#1.14)}. This time she is Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady (1964). It would happen a forth time in "Gossip Girl" (2007) {Seder Anything (#2.21)}.
