How's your mom?
Copy !req
20. Fine.
- She's good.
Copy !req
21. Uh, fine and good.
She's—she's good
and—and fine.
Copy !req
22. Like, "maybe i never should've

Copy !req
23. or "taking a time-out
from my marriage
Copy !req
24. was the best idea

Copy !req
25. Dad, you know what?
I-i am, uh, I'm starving.
Copy !req
26. let's go home. I'm cooking.

mozzarella di bufala.
Copy !req
28. Yeah, I'm gonna
make you guys...
Copy !req
29. Spotted—lonely boy.
Copy !req
30. Can't believe the love
of his life has returned...
Copy !req
31. If only she knew who he was.
Copy !req
32. But everyone knows Serena,
Copy !req
33. and everyone is talking.
Copy !req
34. Wonder what
Blair Waldorf thinks.
Copy !req
35. Sure, they're b.F.F.S,
but we always thought
Copy !req
36. Blair's boyfriend Nate
had a thing for Serena.
Copy !req
37. design a dress
for this woman.
Copy !req
38. Blair, if you're gonna wear
one of my designs,
Copy !req
39. tell me so we can at least
get it properly fitted.
Copy !req
40. Thanks, mom.
Keep that in mind.
Copy !req
41. Great party.
Copy !req
42. She is
my best advertisement.
Copy !req
43. So, Nate, you started thinking
about college?
Copy !req
44. but I'd like
to check out west.
Copy !req
45. Dartmouth is
far enough away for her.
Copy !req
46. Yes, well,
dartmouth is my first choice.
Copy !req
47. Excuse me, captain.
Copy !req
48. Nate, can i borrow you?
Copy !req
49. Uh, sure. Will you excuse me
for a second?
Copy !req
50. Nathaniel...
Copy !req
51. Any interest
in some fresh air?
Copy !req
52. When i get back?
Copy !req
53. If he gets back.
Copy !req
54. what's going on?
Copy !req
55. I wanna do this...
It... Now.
Copy !req
56. Now now?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
57. I thought you wanted to wait.
Not anymore.
Copy !req
58. Better lock it down
with Nate, b. Clock's ticking.
Copy !req
59. Oh, my god! You'll never
believe what's on "gossip girl."
Copy !req
60. Someone saw Serena getting off
the train at grand central.
Copy !req
61. Good. Things were getting
a little dull around here.
Copy !req
62. Thank you.
Copy !req
63. I love you...
Copy !req
64. Nate Archibald.
Copy !req
65. Always have, always will.
Copy !req
66. I love you, too.
Copy !req
67. Serena Van Der Woodsen?
Is that you?
Copy !req
68. Blair, it's Serena!
Copy !req
69. Serena?
Copy !req
70. Serena's at school.
Copy !req
71. Kiss me.
Copy !req
72. No, i just heard
your mom say she's here.
Copy !req
73. Don't you wanna go say hey?
Copy !req
74. Yeah...
Copy !req
75. Totally.
Copy !req
76. But i heard
she was pregnant.
Copy !req
77. No, but it's rehab.
Sign me up for that.
(Boy) She looks good.
Copy !req
78. So i told him, "forget it.
Copy !req
79. I don't care if it's murakami.
It clashes with my sofa."
Copy !req
80. Mom. Mom.
Copy !req
81. Hey.
Copy !req
82. Oh!
- Hey, good to see you.
Copy !req
83. Serena, darling. Oh!
Copy !req
84. Um, so where is he?
Copy !req
85. What, they haven't
let him out yet?
Copy !req
86. Oh, let's not
discuss that right now, okay?
Copy !req
87. I thought you might wanna
see some of your friends.
Copy !req
88. Thanks.
Copy !req
89. hi!
- Hi!
Copy !req
90. Serena!
It's so good to see you!
How are you? Good to see you!
Copy !req
91. Yeah, actually, um,
there's somewhere i have to go.
Copy !req
92. You're leaving?
- Yeah, i-i just—
i don't feel well.
Copy !req
93. Aw.
I just wanted
to come by and say hi.
Copy !req
94. I'll see you
at school tomorrow.
Copy !req
95. school? So i guess
she's back for good.
Copy !req
96. Didn't you know
she was coming?
Copy !req
97. Of course i did.
Copy !req
98. I just... wanted it
to be a surprise.
Copy !req
99. Word is
that s. Bailed on b.'S party
Copy !req
100. in under 90 seconds
Copy !req
101. and didn't even have
one limoncello.
Copy !req
102. Has our bad girl
really gone good?
Copy !req
103. Or is it all
just part of the act?
Copy !req
104. Young lady, you can't be here.
Visiting hours are over.
Copy !req
105. I'm family.
Copy !req
106. He's my brother.
Copy !req
107. Why'd she leave?
Why'd she return?
Copy !req
108. Send me all the deets.
And who am i?
Copy !req
109. That's one secret
I'll never tell...
Copy !req
110. The only one.
Copy !req
111. X.O.X.O., gossip girl.
Copy !req
112. Serena?
Copy !req
113. Serena?
Copy !req
114. Hey.
Copy !req
115. Hey, how are you?
Copy !req
116. You know...
I've been better.
Copy !req
117. Eric, i know I've been
a terrible sister...
Copy !req
118. Oh, I'm just so happy
to see you.
Copy !req
119. Must be a lot of rumors
why you're back.
Copy !req
120. Yeah, but none of them
mention you.
Copy !req
121. Just like mom wants, huh?
What do i want, baby?
Copy !req
122. For Serena to sleep in her own
bed, possibly wearing pajamas.
Copy !req
123. Morning, mom.
Copy !req
124. Hey, i was just about
to ask the doctor
Copy !req
125. if i could take Eric
to breakfast. Wanna come?
Copy !req
126. Um... no.
Copy !req
127. I think what I'll do is go get
him a croissant down the street.
Copy !req
128. Serena, don't.
Copy !req
129. Let me guess—
you told everyone
Copy !req
130. Eric's just visiting grandpa
in Rhode Island.
Your aunt Carol in Miami.
Copy !req
131. So you're actually hiding him?
He tries to take his own life,
Copy !req
132. and you're worried it's gonna
cost you "mom of the year"?
Serena, you've been gone,
Copy !req
133. doing who knows what
with god knows who—
Copy !req
134. i told you, boarding school
was not like that.
Then you know what?
Copy !req
135. As happy as i am
to have you home,
Copy !req
136. you have no idea
what it's been like.
Copy !req
137. guess whose dad is cool?
Copy !req
138. It's a trick question.
Yeah, 'cause it can't be ours.
Copy !req
139. Ha ha, ha ha. Look at this.
Copy !req
140. "Top ten forgotten bands
of the '90s."
Copy !req
141. Yeah, check out
who's number nine.
Copy !req
142. He's very proud.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
143. Hey! Hey, way to be forgotten.
But that's how
you get remembered.
Copy !req
144. Maybe you'd care if dad's band
was on "gossip girl."
Copy !req
145. What?
I don't read "gossip girl."
Copy !req
146. That's—that's for chicks.
So that wasn't your laptop
open to it last night
Copy !req
147. reading all about
Serena Van Der Woodsen?
"Rolling stone"? Wow.
Copy !req
148. Let me take a look
at this again, dad. Très cool.
Copy !req
149. (Dan) Lincoln hawk—
number nine.
Copy !req
150. Everyone's going.
Copy !req
151. You were invited to that?
Copy !req
152. Well, no offense
if i sound surprised
Copy !req
153. since I've never been invited.
One of the girls in my art class
saw my calligraphy,
Copy !req
154. and she said that if i addressed
all the invitations
Copy !req
155. that i could have one.
Sounds very fair. The sweatshops
could learn a thing or two.
Copy !req
156. Dad, this is not a platform
Copy !req
157. for one of
your anticapitalist rants.
Yes, it is.
Copy !req
158. Besides, you make us
go to private school.
That's for your education.
Copy !req
159. So we should just be anonymous
losers who eat lunch alone
Copy !req
160. and never get invited
to parties?
(Dan) Works for me.
Copy !req
161. Mom thinks it's a good idea.
And her judgment
is always sound, right?
Copy !req
162. Jenny, you wanna go
to that party, you should go.
Copy !req
163. You kids could use some fun.
Copy !req
164. Nate?
Copy !req
165. Oh, hey.
Copy !req
166. Uh, your mom told me
Copy !req
167. you guys were staying here
at the palace.
Copy !req
168. Yeah, uh,
we're renovating again.
Copy !req
169. You know my mom—
if it's not broke, break it.
Copy !req
170. So what are you doing here?
Copy !req
171. Oh, i just wanted
to see how you were.
Copy !req
172. You seemed kind of upset
last night.
Copy !req
173. I-i gotta get going and change
for school. I'm gonna be late.
Serena—
Copy !req
174. no. No.
Copy !req
175. But you're back now—
i didn't come back for you.
Copy !req
176. Look, Blair's my best friend,
and you're her boyfriend,
Copy !req
177. and she loves you.
Copy !req
178. That's the way
things are supposed to be.
Copy !req
179. (Man) Hey,
watch where you're going!
Copy !req
180. Serena looked effing hot
last night.
Copy !req
181. There's something wrong
with that level of perfection.
Copy !req
182. It needs to be violated.
Copy !req
183. You are deeply disturbed.
And yet, you know I'm right.
Copy !req
184. You're telling me
if you had the chance—
i have a girlfriend.
Copy !req
185. You guys have been dating
since kindergarten
Copy !req
186. and you haven't
sealed the deal.
Copy !req
187. Who says, "seal the deal"?
Copy !req
188. Come on.
Copy !req
189. Are you following us
or something?
Copy !req
190. No, i-i go to your school.
Copy !req
191. Identical uniforms?
Is that kind of a tip-off?
Copy !req
192. That's funny.
Copy !req
193. So you guys wanna
sit together at lunch?
Copy !req
194. So cute!
These should
be framed or something.
Copy !req
195. Not bad work.
Copy !req
196. And here's yours, as promised.
Copy !req
197. Thanks.
Copy !req
198. Hey.
Copy !req
199. Here you guys are.
Copy !req
200. I looked all over
the dining hall for you.
Copy !req
201. Oh, hi, I'm Serena.
Copy !req
202. I know.
I mean, hi, I'm Jenny.
Copy !req
203. Hi.
Copy !req
204. So...
Copy !req
205. When's the party?
Copy !req
206. Saturday.
Copy !req
207. And...
You're kinda not invited...
Copy !req
208. Since until 12 hours ago,
Copy !req
209. everyone thought
you were at boarding school.
Copy !req
210. Now we're full, and, uh,
Jenny used up all the invites.
Copy !req
211. Um, actually—
you can go now.
Copy !req
212. Sorry.
Copy !req
213. No, that's okay.
Copy !req
214. I got a lot of stuff
to do anyway.
Copy !req
215. Well,
we should get going then.
Copy !req
216. Unless you want us
to wait for you.
Copy !req
217. Looks like
you got a lot of yogurt left.
No, go ahead.
Copy !req
218. Blair,
think we could meet tonight?
Copy !req
219. I'd love to,
Copy !req
220. but I'm doing something
with Nate tonight.
Copy !req
221. The palace. 8:00?
Copy !req
222. Nate will wait.
Spotted on
the steps of the met—
Copy !req
223. an s. And b. Power struggle.
Copy !req
224. I could probably do
a half-hour.
Copy !req
225. Did s. Think
she could waltz home,
Copy !req
226. and things would be
just like they were?
- Thanks for making the time.
Copy !req
227. You're my best friend.
Copy !req
228. Did b. Think s.
Would go down without a fight?
Copy !req
229. Or can these two hotties
work it out?
Copy !req
230. There's nothing
gossip girl likes more
Copy !req
231. than a good catfight,
Copy !req
232. and this could be a classic.
Copy !req
233. Uh, you know—you know, dad,
Copy !req
234. there's this thing
called MySpace
Copy !req
235. where you can post
all this information online.
Copy !req
236. Save some trees. Have a blog.
Copy !req
237. Maybe if musicians
got off their blogs
Copy !req
238. and picked up their guitars,
Copy !req
239. the music business
would be in better shape.
Copy !req
240. Spoken like a true relic.
Thanks, son.
Copy !req
241. Hey, dad, listen, um, i gotta
run. Are you gonna be okay?
Copy !req
242. Yeah. Yeah,
your mom will be back.
Copy !req
243. She's always been
a free spirit.
Copy !req
244. That's one of the reasons i fell
for her in the first place.
Copy !req
245. I meant with the fliers.
Copy !req
246. Luckily,
staple guns are old school.
Copy !req
247. go. I'm gonna be fine.
- All right.
Copy !req
248. We're going to Bendel's, just
for an hour, though, i swear.
Copy !req
249. I had a really bad day.
Really?
'Cause i had a great day—
Copy !req
250. a couple of pills,
bunch of rorschach tests.
Copy !req
251. We gotta get you out of here
before mom shows up.
Copy !req
252. Jenny, what is it?
Copy !req
253. What's wrong?
Copy !req
254. Do you like this on me?
Copy !req
255. Wait—wait a second.
Is that why you needed me?
Copy !req
256. I thought
this was an emergency.
A fashion emergency.
Copy !req
257. I mean come on, I've never
been to a big dance before.
Neither have i.
Copy !req
258. Yeah, but mom's gone, and dad's
allergic to department stores.
Copy !req
259. well, you look good, Jen.
Copy !req
260. You do, really.
Copy !req
261. Thanks.
Copy !req
262. I mean, too bad
it's more than our rent,
Copy !req
263. but i think i can
sew something like it.
Copy !req
264. Oh, my gosh, it's Serena.
Copy !req
265. Hi, Serena!
Copy !req
266. Hey!
Copy !req
267. hey. Jenny, right?
- Yeah. Hi.
Copy !req
268. This is my—
Copy !req
269. stylist and personal shopper
Eric. Hi.
Copy !req
270. Uh, hi.
Um, this is my brother.
Copy !req
271. Or...
Copy !req
272. Um, so is—is that your dress
for the kiss on the lips party?
Copy !req
273. Sort of.
Copy !req
274. Speaking of that, um, here.
Copy !req
275. I made you one
during free period,
Copy !req
276. but if anyone asks where
you got it, i know nothing.
Copy !req
277. Thanks.
Copy !req
278. Dan? Dan?
Copy !req
279. Jenny?
Copy !req
280. That dress would look
even better in black.
Copy !req
281. Black. Cool. Thanks.
Copy !req
282. this is some good stuff.
Copy !req
283. Yeah, I'm gonna need it.
Copy !req
284. Blair's mom's
at the country house.
Copy !req
285. Yeah? Well, then maybe i should
swipe some of my dad's Viagra...
Copy !req
286. Or my mom's Paxil?
Copy !req
287. Nathaniel, you're finally
about to have sex
Copy !req
288. with your girlfriend.
Copy !req
289. It's like you're headed
to your execution.
Copy !req
290. No, man, I'm good.
Copy !req
291. Talk to Chuck, buddy.
Copy !req
292. You and Blair
have been dating forever.
Copy !req
293. All of a sudden
there's a problem?
There's no problem.
Copy !req
294. It's just...
Copy !req
295. Do you ever feel like
Copy !req
296. our whole lives
have been planned out for us,
Copy !req
297. that we're just gonna
end up like our parents?
Copy !req
298. Man, that's a dark thought.
Copy !req
299. And aren't we entitled
to choose, just to be happy?
Look, easy, socrates.
Copy !req
300. What we're entitled to
is a trust fund,
Copy !req
301. maybe a house in the Hamptons,
a prescription drug problem.
Copy !req
302. But happiness does not
seem to be on the menu,
Copy !req
303. so smoke up
and seal the deal with Blair,
Copy !req
304. 'cause you're also entitled
to tap that ass.
Copy !req
305. so how's your mom doing
with the divorce and everything?
Copy !req
306. Great.
Copy !req
307. So my dad left her
for another man.
Copy !req
308. She lost 15 pounds,
got an eye lift.
Copy !req
309. It's been good for her.
I'm really sorry.
Copy !req
310. Yeah, i could tell,
since you didn't call or write
Copy !req
311. the entire time
it was happening.
Copy !req
312. No, i-i know, i was just—
boarding school is like—
i don't even know why
Copy !req
313. you went to boarding school
to being with.
Copy !req
314. Do you know how it felt
Copy !req
315. calling your house when
you didn't show up at school
Copy !req
316. and having your mom say,
"Serena didn't tell you
Copy !req
317. that she moved
to Connecticut?"
Copy !req
318. I just...
I-i had to go. I just—
Copy !req
319. i needed to get away
from everything.
Copy !req
320. Please, just trust me.
Copy !req
321. How can i trust you when i feel
like i don't even know you?
Copy !req
322. Let's fix that.
Copy !req
323. I saw you at school
with—with Katy and is,
Copy !req
324. and i-i get it.
Copy !req
325. I-i don't want to take
any of that away from you—
Copy !req
326. because it's just yours
to take if you want it.
Copy !req
327. No, that—that's not
what i mean. I...
Copy !req
328. I miss you.
Copy !req
329. I just want things to go back
to the way they used to be—
Copy !req
330. you know,
walking to school together,
Copy !req
331. dancing on tables
at bungalow,
Copy !req
332. night swimming
at your mom's country house.
Copy !req
333. You were like my sister.
Copy !req
334. You know,
and with our families...
Copy !req
335. We need each other.
Copy !req
336. Well...
Copy !req
337. You missed some classic
Eleanor Waldorf meltdowns.
Copy !req
338. If it wasn't such a tragedy,
it would've been funny.
Copy !req
339. Actually, it kind of was.
Copy !req
340. Hmm, well, i wish
i could've been there.
Copy !req
341. You are now.
Copy !req
342. I have to meet Nate.
Copy !req
343. Kinda have
something special planned.
Copy !req
344. Well, i don't want
to keep you, but, um...
Copy !req
345. I love you, b.
Copy !req
346. I love you, too, s.
Copy !req
347. Spotted at the palace hotel—
Copy !req
348. s. And b.
Having a heart-to-heart.
Copy !req
349. Hmm, why so thirsty, s.?
Copy !req
350. You may have
won over b. For now,
Copy !req
351. but we still think
you're hiding something.
Copy !req
352. Hey.
Copy !req
353. Ah,
the invisible man returns.
Copy !req
354. You know, i really had no idea
you could move that fast.
Copy !req
355. Yeah, well, uh, your fashion
emergency was solved,
Copy !req
356. so i figured
my work was done.
- Come on, Dan.
Copy !req
357. Serena said hi to you
at a ninth grade birthday party,
Copy !req
358. And I'm pretty sure she
thought i was someone else.
Copy !req
359. You know,
she's actually nice.
Copy !req
360. And if she did know you,
i think she'd really like you.
Copy !req
361. I don't know. I think she
might be a tad overwhelmed
Copy !req
362. by the glitz and the glamour
of the Humphrey lifestyle.
Copy !req
363. Well, i heard she's living
at the palace hotel...
Copy !req
364. Well, my—my point exactly.
Copy !req
365. Probably sitting at the bar
by herself,
Copy !req
366. sipping Martinis, all alone.
Copy !req
367. You know,
it's actually kind of sad.
Copy !req
368. Oh, and, um, dad's
at the gallery working late.
Copy !req
369. He, uh,
left money for dinner,
Copy !req
370. so i was thinking Indian.
Copy !req
371. You know—you know what?
I think I'm...
Copy !req
372. I'm gonna go out.
Copy !req
373. okay.
Copy !req
374. Good,
'cause i already ordered
Copy !req
375. and only got enough for one.
Copy !req
376. move, please.
Copy !req
377. I love this town.
Copy !req
378. I'm going to have
to tell my parents
Copy !req
379. the hotel they just bought
is serving minors.
Copy !req
380. And if you get a drink,
they're also serving pigs.
Copy !req
381. Actually, i prefer them
when they're not talking.
Copy !req
382. Mm, I've missed
your witty banter.
Copy !req
383. Let's catch up, take our clothes
off, stare at each other.
Copy !req
384. How about
i just get a bite to eat?
Copy !req
385. I've been drinking
on an empty stomach.
Copy !req
386. I heard
you didn't do that anymore.
Copy !req
387. Special occasion.
Copy !req
388. Oh.
Copy !req
389. Well, how about a grilled cheese
with truffle oil?
Copy !req
390. You do love truffles.
Copy !req
391. Enough to know
it's not on the menu.
Copy !req
392. Good thing I'm connected.
Copy !req
393. whoa.
Copy !req
394. Only 'cause I'm hungry.
Copy !req
395. wow.
Copy !req
396. Hi.
Copy !req
397. Hi.
Copy !req
398. Is it too much?
Copy !req
399. I want it to be special.
Copy !req
400. What's wrong?
Copy !req
401. Look, i don't know
how to say this...
Copy !req
402. Or if it's even
the right thing to do,
Copy !req
403. but, um...
Copy !req
404. There's something
i need to tell you.
Copy !req
405. Alfonso, you're a stud.
Copy !req
406. Now, uh, have a good night.
We're closing the kitchen early.
Copy !req
407. Oh, my god.
This is so good.
Copy !req
408. Well, if you're looking
for a way to thank me,
Copy !req
409. I've got a couple ideas.
Copy !req
410. It's a sandwich, Chuck.
Copy !req
411. This is... mnh-mnh.
Copy !req
412. This is not happening
right now.
Copy !req
413. You worried
Nate'll find out?
Copy !req
414. What?
Copy !req
415. Last year...
The Shepherd wedding.
Copy !req
416. You think i don't know
why you left town?
Copy !req
417. Come on, hurry up.
Copy !req
418. to put up the cash
for the premium bar,
Copy !req
419. they should have
made their wedding b.Y.O.B.
Copy !req
420. No!
- Let me see it.
Copy !req
421. No, make me.
I can do it. I can do it.
Copy !req
422. No, you can't.
Let me just show you.
Here, come here. Let me see it.
Copy !req
423. I can do it. Stop.
- Let me see it.
Copy !req
424. Ooh!
- Oh, no.
Copy !req
425. Nate!
That never happens to me.
Copy !req
426. It's okay.
You're still a man in my eyes.
Copy !req
427. Come here.
Copy !req
428. Look at you. You're a mess.
Copy !req
429. So are you.
Copy !req
430. but... that was it.
Copy !req
431. You guys kissed.
Copy !req
432. Best friend
and the boyfriend.
Copy !req
433. That's pretty classy, s.
Copy !req
434. I think you're more like me
than you'd admit.
Copy !req
435. No.
Copy !req
436. No, that—that was then.
I... I'm trying to change.
Copy !req
437. I liked you better before.
Copy !req
438. Chuck, stop it. Stop.
Copy !req
439. No! Chuck, stop it!
Copy !req
440. I knew it! I always knew
there was something! Get out!
Copy !req
441. Chuck! No!
Copy !req
442. get off of me!
Copy !req
443. Oh!
- Oh!
Copy !req
444. - I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
445. Are—are you okay?
Copy !req
446. And just when
b. And s. Had built a bridge,
Copy !req
447. it all had to come
crashing down.
Copy !req
448. But dry your eyes.
Copy !req
449. The kiss on the lips party
is around the corner.
Copy !req
450. And you know who loves parties?
Gossip girl.
Copy !req
451. Nice try, son.
Copy !req
452. Maybe next time.
Copy !req
453. You seem upbeat
this morning.
Copy !req
454. Did you have fun with Blair
last night?
Copy !req
455. Actually, we got
into a pretty big fight.
Oh, you want my advice?
Copy !req
456. Apologize,
even if it was her fault.
Copy !req
457. Flowers, maybe some jewelry
if she's really upset.
Copy !req
458. Always works for your mom.
I don't know. I think
it might be for the best.
Copy !req
459. Wait a minute.
You guys broke up?
Copy !req
460. Yeah, i guess we did.
Copy !req
461. Blair is a great girl.
Copy !req
462. I know. I'm just not sure
if she's the girl for me.
Copy !req
463. And you guys have been dating
since kindergarten.
So i keep hearing.
Copy !req
464. Well, you love her,
don't you?
- Yes, i do.
Copy !req
465. I just think
Copy !req
466. it might be good for us
to take a break, you know?
Copy !req
467. Maybe not right now.
Copy !req
468. Eleanor Waldorf is gearing up
to take her company public,
Copy !req
469. and I've been
courting her for months
Copy !req
470. to let me handle the deal.
Then you should get it.
Copy !req
471. I will get it. If you could just
help me out a little bit...
Copy !req
472. What?
You love her. She loves you.
Copy !req
473. It's just a rough patch,
that's all.
Copy !req
474. You don't give up
just because things are hard,
Copy !req
475. not in business, or if
your family is depending on you.
Copy !req
476. How do you know
it was miss Van Der Woodsen's
Copy !req
477. if you didn't read it?
Copy !req
478. And if you're not a guest
at the hotel,
Copy !req
479. what were you doing here?
- What?
Copy !req
480. Uh, look, when prince charming
found cinderella's slipper,
Copy !req
481. they didn't accuse him
of having a foot fetish.
Copy !req
482. Uh, and you're
prince charming?
- Well...
Copy !req
483. Well, there's
miss Van Der Woodsen now.
- No, no!
Copy !req
484. Uh, Serena?
- No, no, no, no, no.
Copy !req
485. What are you doing? Don't.
Hey, um, do you know
this young man?
Copy !req
486. She doesn't know me.
Nobody knows me.
Copy !req
487. It's cool. It's fine.
Copy !req
488. Uh... from last night.
Copy !req
489. Are you...
Copy !req
490. Um, I'm sorry about that.
Copy !req
491. You remember me?
Copy !req
492. She remembers me.
Copy !req
493. Well, he claims
he found your cell phone.
Copy !req
494. Oh! You found it.
Copy !req
495. Hey, mom.
Guess what i got for you—
a dress for kiss on the lips.
Copy !req
496. I saw the invitation
on the nightstand.
Copy !req
497. Yeah, um, see,
the problem is, um,
Copy !req
498. by—by the time
i got the invitation,
Copy !req
499. i, um, actually
already had plans.
Copy !req
500. Plans with whom?
Copy !req
501. My friend.
Copy !req
502. Uh... yeah, hi.
Copy !req
503. Uh, nice to meet you,
Mrs. Van Der Woodsen.
Copy !req
504. I'm Dan Humphrey.
Copy !req
505. What are you and Dan Humphrey
doing?
Copy !req
506. We...
Copy !req
507. Uh...
Copy !req
508. Uh, uh, we're—we're
going to a concert tonight.
Copy !req
509. Lincoln hawk?
Yeah,
"rolling stone" named them
Copy !req
510. one of the top ten
forgotten bands of the '90s.
Copy !req
511. Whoo! I'm a huge fan.
Copy !req
512. Mm.
- Well, this party would've been
the perfect opportunity
Copy !req
513. for you to announce
your return,
Copy !req
514. but i guess I'll just, uh,
keep the dress for myself.
Copy !req
515. Thank you.
Copy !req
516. Yeah, no, uh...
It's not a problem, really.
Copy !req
517. So you'll pick me up
at 8:00?
Copy !req
518. You'd really go out
with some guy you don't know?
Copy !req
519. Well, you can't be worse
than the guys i do know.
Copy !req
520. Thanks for meeting me.
Copy !req
521. Look, Blair,
i-i really hurt you,
Copy !req
522. and i know that,
and i wanna fix it.
Copy !req
523. I'm not gonna see Serena again
or even talk to her.
Copy !req
524. It'll be like
she doesn't exist.
Copy !req
525. i think that's a good idea.
Let's not mention it again.
Copy !req
526. You gonna eat that?
Copy !req
527. That's it?
Copy !req
528. 'Cause you were pretty upset
last night.
Copy !req
529. I mean,
should we talk about this?
There's nothing to talk about.
Copy !req
530. I overreacted.
Copy !req
531. If you say it's in the past,
it's in the past.
Copy !req
532. I'm sure you have no feelings
for her anymore.
Copy !req
533. i just feel bad for Serena.
She'll really miss you.
Copy !req
534. What time
does the limo come?
- 8:00.
Copy !req
535. Perfect.
Copy !req
536. Lily.
Copy !req
537. Are you shopping for some art
to match your furniture?
Copy !req
538. Why is my daughter
going to one of your concerts?
Copy !req
539. 'Cause we're awesome.
Copy !req
540. With your son.
Copy !req
541. Dan scored
a date with Serena?
Copy !req
542. Mm-hmm.
- Well, our kids
were bound to meet.
Copy !req
543. It's a small island.
Are you sure it's not some ploy,
your using my daughter
Copy !req
544. to get to me
now that your wife left you?
How do you know about Alison?
Copy !req
545. Like you said—
small island.
Copy !req
546. Oh, i get it.
Copy !req
547. You hear about Alison,
Copy !req
548. use your daughter as an excuse
to start something.
Copy !req
549. Yeah.
In your dreams.
Copy !req
550. Well, you are in my dreams,
Lily,
Copy !req
551. and one in particular recurs—
it involves finding you
Copy !req
552. in the back
of a nine inch nails bus
Copy !req
553. with your shoes in your earrings
and Trent reznor—
Copy !req
554. oh.
That happened.
Copy !req
555. No need to rehash
details of decades past.
Copy !req
556. So i moved on—
Copy !req
557. yeah, from Trent
to Layne to Perry,
Copy !req
558. till you switched up rock stars
for billionaires.
Copy !req
559. You think you're so cute...
Copy !req
560. Washed-up band,
crappy so-called art gallery.
Copy !req
561. Well, not all of us
have settlements
Copy !req
562. from multiple divorces
to sustain us.
Copy !req
563. Just stay out of my life,
Rufus.
Copy !req
564. you're going out with Serena,
Copy !req
565. and I'm going
to kiss on the lips.
Copy !req
566. Who said this family
wasn't cool?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
567. Well, listen, i don't want to be
late, but good luck, all right?
Copy !req
568. Same.
Copy !req
569. See you at the concert,
right, dad?
Copy !req
570. Uh... okay.
Copy !req
571. Oh, my god.
Copy !req
572. My daughter's a woman.
Copy !req
573. Dad, you could just
tell me i look nice
Copy !req
574. instead of turning this
Copy !req
575. into a sermon
on the passage of time.
Copy !req
576. You look like...
Copy !req
577. Your mother.
Copy !req
578. Thanks.
Copy !req
579. Mmm.
Copy !req
580. Blair, let me see
how it looks.
Copy !req
581. Why are you wearing
that one?
Copy !req
582. Didn't you see the dress
i left on the bed?
Copy !req
583. I like this one.
Copy !req
584. This one is not
as elegant a choice as that one.
Copy !req
585. Why do you care so much?
Copy !req
586. Because i love you.
Copy !req
587. Blair, you will never be
more beautiful or thin or happy
Copy !req
588. than you are right now.
Copy !req
589. I just want you
to make the most of it.
Copy !req
590. I guess i have time
to change.
Copy !req
591. And put some product
in your hair. The ends are dry.
Copy !req
592. Jenny Humphrey.
She's a freshman.
Copy !req
593. I love freshmen.
They're so...
Copy !req
594. Fresh?
Copy !req
595. Anything about her
on "gossip girl"?
Copy !req
596. No.
- Hmm, until you're done
with her.
Copy !req
597. hi. I'm Chuck.
Copy !req
598. I know. Um, i mean...
Hi, I'm—I'm Jenny.
Copy !req
599. It's, uh,
it's nice to meet you.
Copy !req
600. You, too.
Copy !req
601. Thank you.
Copy !req
602. Looks like
little j. Might end up with
Copy !req
603. a new boy and a ticket
to the inner circle.
Copy !req
604. Or will c.
End up with another victim?
Copy !req
605. I told you i love parties.
Copy !req
606. so I'm a little overdressed,
aren't i?
Copy !req
607. Honestly, i don't really have
a problem with your appearance.
Copy !req
608. Hey, come on. I want you to meet
one of the guys in the band.
Copy !req
609. Oh, so you're a groupie?
Copy !req
610. Well, not quite.
Copy !req
611. Serena, I'd like you to meet
Rufus Humphrey.
Copy !req
612. Dad, this is Serena.
Copy !req
613. Serena Van Der Woodsen.
Copy !req
614. Oh, uh,
i don't know how i know that.
Copy !req
615. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
616. Nice to meet you, too.
Copy !req
617. You guys
are a little early.
Copy !req
618. It's gonna be a while
before we take the stage.
Copy !req
619. Yeah, i-i may have slightly
overbudgeted for travel time.
Copy !req
620. (man) Hey.
Copy !req
621. I should go tune that.
Excuse me. Enjoy the show.
Copy !req
622. Son, talk to you later.
Copy !req
623. Dad, see you.
Copy !req
624. you took me to meet your dad
on a first date?
Copy !req
625. So this—this is a date?
Copy !req
626. oh.
Copy !req
627. Maybe i should've
worn my loafers then...
Copy !req
628. Dressed down a little bit.
Copy !req
629. Let's go
and talk somewhere quieter.
Copy !req
630. Okay.
Copy !req
631. Well, this is
definitely quieter,
Copy !req
632. but, um, do you actually
know where we're going or—
Copy !req
633. here looks pretty good.
Copy !req
634. so... uh, you said
you wanted to talk.
Copy !req
635. Um, what'd you want
to talk about?
Copy !req
636. How into you i am.
Copy !req
637. okay, I'm—I'm sorry.
Uh...
Copy !req
638. If you don't want to do
anything, that's—that's cool.
Copy !req
639. Let—let's start over.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
640. Yeah?
Um, do you want to start over
back at the party?
Copy !req
641. Uh, have a glass of champagne.
Please?
Copy !req
642. Maybe one.
Copy !req
643. thanks.
Copy !req
644. Mm.
Copy !req
645. What?
Copy !req
646. Sorry. No, nothing, nothing.
I just, um...
Copy !req
647. My sister was right.
You're nice.
Copy !req
648. But you asked me out on a date,
and you didn't think i was nice?
Copy !req
649. No, uh, i just thought
you were hot.
Copy !req
650. Uh...
- And technically,
you asked me out.
Copy !req
651. Oh, okay. Okay, i see.
Copy !req
652. So, um, sensitive,
tortured soul boy
Copy !req
653. is actually
kinda superficial, huh?
Copy !req
654. Yeah,
just—just a little bit.
Good to know.
Copy !req
655. Sorry.
Copy !req
656. What, better offer?
No, it's my sister.
Copy !req
657. She's at that kiss on the lips
party, you know?
Copy !req
658. She's having some problems
with this guy Chuck.
Copy !req
659. I'm sorry. I have to go.
I'll go with you.
Copy !req
660. No, really, that's okay.
Copy !req
661. No, no, listen.
If it's Chuck, it's not okay.
Copy !req
662. Look, I'm—I'm gonna do a lap,
okay? Look for her.
Copy !req
663. Okay, yeah.
Copy !req
664. Serena?
- It's Serena!
Oh, my god!
Copy !req
665. (Boy) What?
She's really here?
Copy !req
666. (Boy) Is that really her?
Copy !req
667. Everyone said
she wasn't invited.
Copy !req
668. (Boy) I think she's wasted.
Do you think Blair knows?
Copy !req
669. What's she wearing?
What's with that dress?
She's so brave.
Copy !req
670. (Boy) You know Serena—
she'd never miss a party.
Copy !req
671. Serena's here?
Copy !req
672. What is she doing here?
She wasn't invited.
Copy !req
673. Blair, come on, are you really
gonna kick her out?
Copy !req
674. Did you invite her?
Copy !req
675. What? No!
God, i told you...
Copy !req
676. Do not talk to her.
Copy !req
677. I was going for a walk.
Copy !req
678. No!
- Quiet.
Copy !req
679. Stop!
Copy !req
680. Hey, no luck?
Copy !req
681. No, i haven't
seen her anywhere.
Copy !req
682. Come on.
Let's try upstairs.
Copy !req
683. All right.
Copy !req
684. there isn't gonna be anybody
up here. This is pointless.
Copy !req
685. Dan.
- What?
Copy !req
686. That's Chuck's scarf.
Copy !req
687. Oh, god.
Copy !req
688. Get off! Stop!
- Hey! Jenny!
Copy !req
689. Chuck, get off of her!
Are you okay?
Copy !req
690. Yeah.
Copy !req
691. You son of a...
Copy !req
692. What the hell is your problem?
It's a party. Things happen.
Copy !req
693. Who are you, anyway?
Copy !req
694. How many times
do i have to tell you?
Copy !req
695. I'm in your class.
Copy !req
696. My name is Dan Humphrey,
Copy !req
697. and that is
my little sister!
Copy !req
698. Come on, Dan.
Let's go. Come on.
Copy !req
699. Chuck, don't you ever
touch her again!
Copy !req
700. Hey, your life is over, slut!
Don't forget, i know everything!
Copy !req
701. You sure you're okay?
Copy !req
702. Yeah, i will be.
Just take me home, okay?
Copy !req
703. so... think i got a shot
at a second date?
Copy !req
704. Well, i don't think
you could top this one.
Copy !req
705. I did punch someone.
Copy !req
706. True.
Copy !req
707. We'll talk about it
in the cab.
Copy !req
708. she better not
show her face again.
Copy !req
709. I'm actually hoping
she will.
Copy !req
710. spotted—
Serena making a heroic exit
Copy !req
711. from b.'S party.
Copy !req
712. Too bad for her
there's school on Monday.
Copy !req
713. So until next time—
Copy !req
714. you know you love me—
gossip girl.
Copy !req
