Default "New York, New York"

I was watching New York,New York today and I've seen it for the first time and I thought it was hilarious! The fights between Blair and Dina/Jo and Jessie were just great, I wrote down the scene because it was just so great, I just hope to share it with you I don't know if everything is written down word-for-word but it's close enough. Here is the scene:

(Episode from New York, New York)

Blair: Ahem
Jo: Oh, ah Jessie this is someone who goes to my school, Blair Warner.
Jessie: Hi
Blair: Hello
Blair: Ahem
Jo: And this is her friend Princess Die
Dina: Dina Decker
Blair: So youre Jessie! Jos told me so much about you!
Jessie: Oh, yeah same here, you werent kidding were you?
Dina: Jessie and Jo, did you two arrive at the Dolphin game?

(Stranger Bumps into Jessie)

Jessie: Aye, watch it, old people; you cant turn around without bumping into half of the cast of Shoji!
Blair: And I suppose your family came over on the Mayflower, don?t you know New York is a melting pot, different people, from different places; we should try to make them feel at home.
Jo: Blair likes to think of herself as hostess of the world.
Blair: I simply speak the international language.
Jo: Yeah, shopping!
Dina: Speaking of charge, have I got a weekend plan, there is not one store in Manhattan. That we wont be giving some serious attention!
Jessie: Oh, their going shopping how divine!
Blair: And what are you two planning to do this weekend? Knocking over a few candy stores!
Jessie: How would you like to gargle egg shells, sweetheart?
Jessie: Why dont we just hang out tomorrow, you know, checking out the old labels.
Jo: Great, yeah.
Dina: This ones right out of the sweat hogs!
Jessie: Youre asking for it, Barbie doll!
Blair: I?ll take you not, to take that tone with my friend!
Jo: She will take whatever tone she wants with your friend!
Dina: How De Classe! Oh, that means low!
Jessie: In your ear, that means in your ear!
Blair: Little words, for little minds.
Jo: And whos mind you calling? Muffin head!
Blair: Hers, and don?t call me names, you grungy grease monkey!
Jessie: Why dont you go to the garbage dump and turn yourselves in!
Dina: Why dont you (pauses) turn blue!
Blair: Thats telling her Dina!
Jo: Come on, Jessie lets both.
Blair: No you dont, we?ll both first!
Dina: Is this all you brought?
Blair: I was in a hurry!
(Commercial Break)


So, don't you like that episode? If there are any corrections you should add please tell me, thanks!

I loved the episode, and I finally got to hear the "Turn Blue" quote. I may have to try that the next time someone irritates me. lol

Yeah, it's Becker, and it's spelled "Princess Di", not "Die", as in stop livin'. lol

And instead of "Shoji", I'm 99% sure she said "Shogun" instead.

That particular episode would have to be in my top 15. It is a Blair/Jo classic!

Excellent episode! I liked the way how Jo stood up to Jesse to help that guy pick up his checker piece.

It's definitely one of the classics, but like others have said, I probably couldn't watch it over and over. There aren't many episodes I could do that with anyway anymore...
