Robert John Burke as "Bartholomew Bass"

made by Alysha

quotes
Bart: The invitation said black tie, not black eye. Are you okay? I mean, if you're in some kind of trouble..
Chuck: Only of my own making.
Bart: Why do you think I do all this? Huh? This party is for you, okay. So you can meet people. You know, become a part of something. Make some kind of change.
Chuck: Really? I thought it was another excuse for an open bar and uh, rehiring of the nearly nude statues.
Bart: Do me a favor, will you. Lose the scotch. It's barely noon. [1x02]

Bart: When can I go public with you?
Lily: My kids have to know first.
Bart: Well, your secret's safe with me.
(Chuck comes in.)
Chuck: Father?
Bart: Chuck!
Lily: Um..well...Bart..um..I think your points earlier were excellent and um I plan to bring them up at the next parent-teacher meeting...
Bart: Thank you, Lily.
(Lily leaves.)
Chuck: Not much future as an actress.
Bart: You don't say anything to Serena, you don't say anything to anyone. Lily would like this to play out in a certain way.
Chuck: So, you're serious about her?
Bart: What's with the business formal? Are you being arraigned for something?
Chuck: I have an investment idea that I think is utterly unique to your company. Something avantgarde, yet nostalgic. It is the perfect way for you to loosen the top button off Bass Inc. like you've been wanting, sir.
Bart: I am so pleased.
Chuck: You are?
Bart: Are you kidding me? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to be interested in something other than partying?
Chuck: You should come see the place. It sells itself!
Bart: Um...I have some meetings, but uh how's after -
Chuck: After's great! After's good. [1x07]

Bart: As my best man, I expect you to keep things smooth until the wedding.
Chuck: Best man? Um, I'd be honored, sir. [1x14]

Dan: What was your father like?
Chuck: Me. Only older and meanier. [2x05]

Bart: Can I come in?
Chuck: I Can't stop you.
Bart: I want to apologize, son.
Chuck: Apologize?
Bart: I never blamed you for your mother's death. I read that short story that Dan Humphrey wrote about you and your mother. I had no idea you felt that way. That's my fault. I know I've had trouble...being close to you...but it's not for the reasons you think. It's just hard because...everytime I look at you, I see her.
Chuck: You miss her.
Bart: You have no idea. I've made some terrible mistakes in my life, but I don't want to make another. I want to know my son. So, any uh interest in going to that hockey game?
Chuck: I'll uh clear my calendar. [2x10]

My favorite Bart line ever

Add me! I loved Bart!

**Kiss of Death** · 12-12-2008, 02:04 PM

ROTFLMAO! He's got some amazing lines when he spoke.

I just rewatched the C/Bart 2x10 scene when I was writing the quote, and I cried. again. I really think I need to wait a while until I watched their scenes.

Glad you love him!

If anyone has any quotes/graphics/reasons, just let me know.

It'd have been nice to open that before he died.

He didn't talk much but had awesome lines.

whataboutbob? · 12-12-2008, 02:08 PM

OMMGGG I must be added

to bad he had to die before we made him a thread

**Gisele** · 12-12-2008, 02:09 PM

We know where Chuck got his fabulous wit from

**Kiss of Death** · 12-12-2008, 02:21 PM

I know, I kept thinking about a thread, but I finally just went to look and nada. But, better late than never, yes?

MOLLY! I love the sig and icon! <3

And Chuck totally gets it from Daddy. I LOVE how alike the kids are to their parents.

And I love their expressions. Totally father-son. (I believe that's Issa's.)

jesaispas · 12-12-2008, 02:23 PM

Beautiful avie.

**Kiss of Death** · 12-12-2008, 03:42 PM

I agree. I love that moment. I swear, I almost thought Bart would tell Chuck to get him. Granted, next scene of them, Chuck does, but I don't think it was Bart saying anything.

breakmyheart · 12-12-2008, 03:52 PM

Add me please. I literally broke into tears when I heard he was dead

I loved Bart's little inputs into GG.
He shall be missed.

_CuteandPsycho_ · 12-12-2008, 04:14 PM

Why??? Why did he have to die? ""sob"""

Why didn`t they kill jenny?

Well I love how Bart was portrayed tough I think he left to soon. There should have been more bonding between him and chuck.

Add me!

Hottest Dad On Tv

**Kiss of Death** · 12-12-2008, 04:39 PM

Everyone's been added!

OMG, I agree. It was too soon. Especially since 2x10 said he wanted to get to know his son. This is bull! I wish we got a full season before they decided on this sad plot. I mean, I love that Chuck gets this storyline and that we get Ed's amazing acting, but it's too soon. Though, I guess, that's why it works? eck.

I think they should've explored their relationship more.

**Kiss of Death** · 12-12-2008, 04:41 PM

There's so much more to it! I think it's one of the only parent-child relationship that wasn't developed enough, and probably with the most potential for a lot of moments and actual development.
