Normally we’re able to narrow the best of Bass and Co.’s snappy lines to 10... but the Gossip Girl Season 5 finale cup runneth over with the wittiest, coldest, most heart-wrenching and heart-warming lines we’ve heard all season.

So here are all of our faves from Season 5, Episode 24: “The Return of the Ring.”
