CONSTANCE BILLARD

Sage: "You know what 17-year-old girls hate? Walking to school with their dorky dad and trophy stepmom."
Barry Watson: "Am I dorky? I was pretty hot on Samantha Who?, and that was only like five years ago."
Sage: "Any case, I am going to take every single one of you motherfuckers down with me."
Serena: "Are you honestly saying that I carry no social currency at Constance at all? I am like, the entire reason Gossip Girl exists."
Sage: "Gossip Girl? Bitch, ain't nobody got time for that. Gossip Girl is for old people, irrelevant people, whatever words hurt you the most."

Barry Watson: "So that's kind of what you'll be dealing with, sorry I didn't mention her before."
Serena: "You're underestimating my self-absorption to a level that is like, hurtful. What do I care if your daughter's a bitch or not? Won't kill my buzz none. Frankly, I plan to welcome any excuse to ignore her."

NEXT WEEK

Alexa Chung! For like thirty seconds. Chuck and, unexpectedly, Serena and Sage help Blair with her first runway show, but of course Sage ruins everything for everybody because she's awful. Nate and Dan run an exposé on Rufus and Ivy Dickens, to which the UES responds with a resounding "We don't know who those people are!"
