Poppy: What an idiot I am! Using my connections for your company?
Gabrielle: Poppy, it is not like that. You know it's not. 

connections: 人际关系，也可以用network。networking这个单词也可以做动词用，表示“搞人际关系，经营人际关系”

Jenny: Dad, my whole life, you said that I could do anything if I was willing to risk falling flat on my face. So why doesn’t that same advice apply to you? Right?
Rufus: Good point. 

fall flat (on one’s face): to fail to achieve a desired effect达不到预期效果, 完全失败
good point: 有道理

Chuck: So I heard you, uh, first met Serena on one of her infamous nights with Georgina. You know, I've always wanted to know what happened. It must be quite the story. 

infamous: 臭名昭著的，声名狼藉的
It must be quite the story: 肯定大有文章，肯定有猛料 

10.
Lily: Well, this is just the sort of thing that some of us at bass have been pushing for. Doing well by doing good.
Gabrielle: Yes. But the only thing is there's a ticking clock. Some of the major internet corporations are pushing to do a similar thing. If we act now, we block them completely and we make at least triple our investment.

a ticking clock: 时间不等人，老外还很喜欢说The clock is ticking, tick就是钟表的“滴答”声，同样也是表示urgent的意思。
