Dorota: But those are your friends.
Blair: Then invite strangers. I have to present myself as a crown jewel, surrounded by other smaller, slightly flawed gems, but quality stones nonetheless. And try to round up a couple of people who can vote so it doesn't feel like a total high school party.
Nate: So you're happy with Chuck. Don't I deserve to be happy as well?
Blair: Trust me, Nate, I know women, and none of us are that nice.
Vanessa: You really think you're better than me?
Blair: I think we both know the answer to that.
Blair: Dorota, these martinis taste like tap water. Don't be a scrooge with the gin!
One of my favorite Blair scenes ever is the one in Enough About Eve:
Blair:I've never been Bette Davis before. I'm Audrey Hepburn! Not some plain baby Jane.
Chuck: We both know this is about NYU. Now it may take time, but one day you will hold that school in the palm of your dainty hand.
It's great because it's so hilariously contradictory. Blair, with her all of her entitled privilege, diabolical feuding around (and over-the-top outfits), obviously could not be more different than Audrey Hepburn. It's reminiscent of Joan Cusack's Malibu Barbie tirade in Adams Family Values:
"The day comes, I open my presents, and what did I get? MALIBU BARBIE! That's not what I wanted, that's not who I was. I was a ballerina! Delicate! Graceful! ..."
