- Jenny Humphrey: You know at least last year it was my face on the cake. And the people at my party might've hated me, but at least they knew who I was. I know that it's hard for you guys to understand, but I like being me and as crazy as it may seem, I choose not to be a Park Avenue Princess on my birthday or any other day.
- Serena van der Woodsen: Penelope's having a party? Since when?
- Hazel Williams: Since always. We were all going, but at least now we don't have to pretend to feel bad about missing yours.
- Serena van der Woodsen: Well, my Mom wanted you to have your dream dress, and we thought Missoni would be right, so I brought a friend to help you make the selection.
- Poppy Lifton: What about this one?
- Jenny Humphrey: [longing] Well, I wish I was the kind of girl who was having the kind of party where I could wear this kind of dress. I'm not, so...
- Jenny Humphrey: [returns, wearing the dress that isn't really the one she likes] So, what do you think?
- Rufus Humphrey: We liked that one better.
- [Serena nods, smiling]
- Jenny Humphrey: Okay, I guess I'll just try it on.
- Dan Humphrey: Wow. You got a lot of board games there. Uh, you know, we're going to a birthday party, it's not a bomb shelter.
- Jenny Humphrey: Yeah, I wanna have options. Do you know if Vanessa's coming?
- Eric van der Woodsen: [rager at the Van der Woodsens] There are strangers having sex in your bed!
- Serena van der Woodsen: [softly] Oh, my God...!
- [runs off to halt proceedings, encounters party-goer wearing expensive dress]
- Serena van der Woodsen: Wait, did you get that out of my mother's closet?
