Gossip Girl (TV Series)

While You Weren't Sleeping (2011)

Alice Callahan: Jessica Leitenberg

Quotes 

• Penelope Shafai : You called us here to Skype?

  Blair Waldorf : No. I called you in to W, but apparently *someone* thought that stood for Waldorf. It's fine. No time to waste on blame.

  Jessica Leitenberg : Oh, thank God.

  [sighs with relief] 

  Blair Waldorf : One does not get promoted without working fifty-hour weeks. Nor does one graduate early without doubling their course load. There are philanthropic positions to secure as well as relations to nurture. Yet, with science so woefully behind in cloning technology, I can only be in one place at a time. Dorota?

  Dorota Kishlovsky : [hands out assignment]  Jessica, Art History essay exam.

  Blair Waldorf : We got the question in advance. You will just sit in front of the proctor and take my dictation over Bluetooth. Penmanship counts. Now, Penelope, gifts for Eric's birthday and my mother's new home in Aix.

  [patronising tone:] 

  Blair Waldorf : And please *do try* to approach my level of taste. New minion...

  Emily : My name is Emily.

  Dorota Kishlovsky : She has no time to care.

  Blair Waldorf : The opera is naming their new board, and I need to be on it, which means I need to meet with Bryn Harold... today.

  Penelope Shafai : [shakes her head]  I don't wanna do gifts.

  Blair Waldorf : I'm sorry, but the time allotted for this interaction is now up.

  [rudely disconnects] 

  Blair Waldorf : Interns! Step in!

  [is unaware that a bemused Donna enters] 

  Blair Waldorf : Now, since the new online blog is moulding minds, I'll do that myself. You... will sort portfolios, draft editorial captions, and research back...

  Donna : Are you talking to me?

  Blair Waldorf : Of course not. Where are my interns?

  Donna : They put in for transfers. Your management style was a little aggressive. One claims she has PTSD and threatened a lawsuit.

  [walks towards door, then turns back] 

  Donna : Oh, good luck. The last assistant who lost her interns, lost her job too.

  Blair Waldorf : [as Dan appears in doorway]  Not to worry. My new intern is already here.
