Gossip Girl: As per Gossip Girl’s Thanksgiving tradition, I'm trading my laptop for Stovetop. And for the next 16 hours the only thing I'm dishing is seconds. When the cat’s away, the mice will play.

Blair: After being broken up with my boyfriend for exactly 20 minutes, I succumbed to inebriation, performed at a speakeasy, and surrendered my virtue to a self-absorbed ass. The only good news is that he's a total pig who'll act it never happened. Thank god. Sorry. Truthfully I'm not even Catholic. Priest: You don't say.…

Blair: You want your dad to invest in a strip joint. How Midtown. Chuck: A burlesque club. A respectable place where people can be transported to another time. Where they can feel free to let loose.

Gossip Girl: I bet you're wondering what Gossip Girl is doing up so early. Truth is, I never went to bed. Why waste precious time dreaming when waking life is so much better. Jenny: So the real question is, though, how are you? Dan: Me? Why wouldn't I be okay? Jenny: You know, at the…
