The Roaring Besides Her
In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description!

TAXICAB

Vanessa: "Finally somebody everybody can hate so much that you're nice to me!"
Serena: "Not even Cousin Charlie's ten tons of crazy could possibly affect the balance of power that makes you a worthless pariah pawn."
Vanessa: "Are you kidding me? Rufus just said she stalked her college roommate and ended up wandering through the snow in her bare feet."
Serena: "...What part of that story did you think I wouldn't identify with?"

Vanessa: "Any case, we have to save Dan. Dan Dan Dan."
Serena: "And also Charlie. Trust me when I say that with Rhodes Women, all roads eventually lead to the Crazyhouse."
Vanessa: "But Dan."
Serena: "Look, the reasons Dan hates you have nothing to do with me."
Vanessa: "Not only is that factually untrue, but everything Dan everythings ends up being about you."
Serena: "[Dismissive but satisfied smirk and sigh.]"

CONSTANCE BILLARD SCHOOL FOR LOVESICK CHUMS & AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENTS

Dan: "Good God, Nate. How I have missed you."
Nate: "Let's run away together. Raina just dumped me once again. Let's talk about your problems instead."
Dan: "So I was about to fuck Cousin Peepers on Queller's desk..."
Nate: "Nice!"
Dan: "...But then she's all call me Serena, and I wigged."
Nate: "Sometimes Chuck makes me say that."
ibid., verbatim/awesome: "Just tell her that's not necessary, and get back to doing whatever it is you two were going to do."

If only every crazy scenario in this show could be dismissed with a "that's not necessary," what a wonderful world that would be. Just like when Serena is right she's really right so too does Nate know how to solve problems. He's like the kid that noticed the Emperor was naked. Occam's Razor is a lot easier when you can't handle more than a couple of things.

Dan: "Oh look, it's Chuck. I thought he was going to rehab."
Nate: "He said no, no, no. He said, 'That's not necessary.'"

THE BAR

Chuck: "Eleanor, we've never spoken before. I'm Chuck Bass. I'm kind of a big deal."
Eleanor: "You listen to me. Blair is nowhere to be found, but I'm not worried about it. She would kill a person, literally kill them, to walk into this alumni dinner on the arm of a prince. She's kind of stuck in high school. And you're a ridiculous person, so..."
Chuck: "Nevertheless I am freaking out."
Eleanor, verbatim: "She is finally getting her fairy tale. She doesn't need the Big Bad Wolf to ruin it. Why don't you say good-bye once and for all? And let her go."
Chuck: "thanks for not calling me the Evil Queen, for once, but... Isn't that sort of paternalistic and weird?"
Eleanor: "You're the one with the imaginary systematic abuse going on, you tell me."
