Season 5 Quotes

05x21 - Season 5 / Episode 21: -

Rufus Humphrey: Apparently you had a dinner here tonight... so I read from a news feed about having your own sister arrested.
Lily Van Der Woodsen: Carol hurt this family with her scam with Ivy too badly for her to just get away with it. She had it comming for a long time.
Rufus Humphrey: You sound just like your mother.
Lily Van Der Woodsen: Well, I'll take that as a compliment. My mother would have done anything to preserve our family name in high society.
Rufus Humphrey: Right, and no matter what the actually consequences to actual family members. I'll bet you even paid off that nurse to testify against Ivy in court today so that she would lose her case. Now with Carol out of the picture, you are the sole heir to your mother's wealth and power. You manipulated everything to your own advantage after I bluntly told you not to.
Lily Van Der Woodsen: So what if I did? Wouldn't you do anything to protect your family?
Rufus Humphrey: No, I wouldn't. Not this low and underhanded way. I thought we'd grow old together, but if this is the person who you want to be... then I don't want to have anything to do with it.
Lily Van Der Woodsen: Rufus, are you saying you'd like a divorce? Because where exactly are you going to find some other wealthy Upper East Side woman to take care of you the way I have? Not to mention, I now have the money and resources to take everything away from you... including that loft in Brooklyn you love so much.
Rufus Humphrey: Spoken like a true Rhodes. The evil spirit of CeCe does live within you. You just made my decision for us to spend more time apart much easier.
05x08 - All The Pretty Sources Season 5 / Episode 8: - All The Pretty Sources

Charlie Rhodes: I never wanted to have to tell you this, but for some time now... I've been pretending to be... Ivy Dickens.
