Episode Quotes
 
Vanessa: You're sick!
Chuck: You're welcome!
 
Chuck: How glad are you that our two families are merging together, sis?
Serena: So glad that if you ever call me that again it will be the last thing you ever say, Chuck.
 
Chuck: Poor little Humphrey Dumpty. Look, let me clarify something for you. Regardless of who you're currently sleeping with, you and I come from different worlds. In my world, if I'm suspended or expelled, a wing is donated in the Bass name.
Dan: That sounds like quite a world.
Chuck: It's not perfect, I'll admit.
 
Chuck: And in case you were wondering you nark, I only took the key from the party to hide it so we didn't all get blamed. (to Dan) Including you.
 
Chuck: You're taking that paper seriously.
Nate: This isn't a paper it's ... it's a heartfelt letter to Blair.
Chuck: A heartfelt letter? Who spayed you, man? Blair doesn't even want you, she's been crystal about that since we got back.
Nate: Didn't seem that way when she kissed me at the pool.
Chuck: She kissed you?
Nate: Well, I kissed her but ... yeah.
 
Serena: What are you up to besides missing me?
Dan: Just wondering whether you were missing me.
 
Chuck: You know, if my dad and your mom come back from South Africa tomorrow engaged we'll be brother and sister. And you know what they say, the family that plays together stays together.
Serena: Ah. Incest, the universal taboo. One of the, uh, only ones you haven't violated.
Chuck: I'm game if you are.
