1. Good morning,
upper east siders.
Copy !req
2. Gossip girl here—
your one and only source
Copy !req
3. into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.
Copy !req
4. Top story on my home page—
Copy !req
5. Serena Van Der Woodsen,
everybody's favorite "it" girl,
Copy !req
6. has just returned
from a mysterious absence.
Copy !req
7. Everyone knows Serena...
Copy !req
8. And everyone is talking.
Copy !req
9. Blair, it's Serena.
Copy !req
10. Serena?
Copy !req
11. And b.'S boyfriend Nate—
rumor has it—
Copy !req
12. he's always had a thing
for Serena.
Copy !req
13. But you're back now.
I didn't come back for you.
Copy !req
14. Look, Blair's my best friend,
and you're her boyfriend,
Copy !req
15. and she loves you.
Copy !req
16. Why did she leave?
Why did she return?
Copy !req
17. Must be a lot of rumors
why you're back.
Copy !req
18. Yeah, but none of them
mention you.
Copy !req
19. He tries to take his own life,
and you're worried
Copy !req
20. it's gonna cost you, mom?
You have no idea
what it's been like.
Copy !req
21. The best friend
and the boyfriend—
Copy !req
22. that's pretty classy, s.
And Nate's friend Chuck
Copy !req
23. won't let Serena
forget about her past.
Copy !req
24. I'm trying to change.
I liked you better before.
Copy !req
25. And then there's Dan,
the outsider.
Copy !req
26. Looks like his childhood crush
has returned.
Copy !req
27. She doesn't know me.
Nobody knows me. It's cool.
Copy !req
28. No. No, no, no, no, no.
Uh, Serena, um,
do you know this young man?
Copy !req
29. Oh, from last night.
You remember me?
Copy !req
30. You'd really go out
with some guy you don't know?
Copy !req
31. Well, he can't be worse
than the guys i do know.
Copy !req
32. Guess whose dad is cool.
It's a trick question.
Copy !req
33. (Dan) Yeah,
'cause it can't be ours.
Copy !req
34. He's very proud.
Hey! Hey,
way to be forgotten.
Copy !req
35. Why is my daughter
going to one of your concerts?
Copy !req
36. to get to me
now that your wife left you?
Copy !req
37. Serena and her mystery man
made a surprise appearance
Copy !req
38. at Blair's
kiss on the lips party.
Copy !req
39. Serena's here?
Copy !req
40. What is she doing here?
She wasn't invited.
Copy !req
41. But Serena wasn't the only one
who made an impression...
Who's the newbie?
Copy !req
42. Jenny made an impression
on Chuck.
Copy !req
43. Let's go and talk
somewhere quieter.
Copy !req
44. Get off! Stop!
Copy !req
45. Hey! That is my little sister!
Copy !req
46. Don't you
ever touch her again!
Copy !req
47. Hey, your life is over, slut!
Copy !req
48. She better
not show her face again.
Copy !req
49. I'm actually hoping
she will.
Copy !req
50. And now that s. Is back,
Copy !req
51. will the Upper East Side
ever be the same?
Copy !req
52. We're all just dying
to see what happens next.
Copy !req
53. And who am i?
Copy !req
54. That's a secret
I'll never tell.
Copy !req
55. You know you love me.
Copy !req
56. X.O.X.O., gossip girl.
Copy !req
57. i bet you're wondering
Copy !req
58. what gossip girl
is doing up so early.
Copy !req
59. Truth is, i never went to bed.
Copy !req
60. Why waste precious time
dreaming
Copy !req
61. when waking life
is so much better?
Copy !req
62. is there really anything better
than a lazy Sunday?
Copy !req
63. Reading the paper in bed,
sipping coffee,
Copy !req
64. scrambling an egg or two.
Copy !req
65. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
66. We upper east siders
don't do lazy.
Copy !req
67. Breakfast is brunch,
and it comes with champagne,
Copy !req
68. a dress code and a hundred
of our closest friends...
Copy !req
69. And enemies.
Copy !req
70. Chuck's dad, Bart bass,
Copy !req
71. is hosting the annual brunch
for his foundation.
Copy !req
72. Everyone is invited.
Copy !req
73. Well, not everyone.
Copy !req
74. oh. Hey, you're up.
Copy !req
75. And you're
checking up on me.
Copy !req
76. I'm okay.
Really, I'm okay.
Copy !req
77. You know, i was okay
when you asked me at the party
Copy !req
78. and in the cab,
when we got home,
Copy !req
79. before and after
i brushed my teeth.
Copy !req
80. Look, i just feel
really stupid.
Copy !req
81. I mean, how could
i have actually thought
Copy !req
82. that Chuck bass
just wanted to talk to me?
Copy !req
83. Because you trust people,
Copy !req
84. which is normally
a good thing.
Copy !req
85. Yeah, except
when it involves Chuck.
Yeah, pretty much.
Copy !req
86. So the real question is,
uh, how are you?
Copy !req
87. Me?
Copy !req
88. Why wouldn't i be okay?
Copy !req
89. You know, at the end
of the night, with Serena
Copy !req
90. and the—the—the...
Copy !req
91. Was it really that bad?
Copy !req
92. This is me.
Copy !req
93. So... good night.
Copy !req
94. Yeah.
Copy !req
95. Yeah.
Um, yeah, good night.
Copy !req
96. Go! Walk her
to the door. Something. Go!
- Okay.
Copy !req
97. - Aah!
Copy !req
98. No!
Copy !req
99. H-hi.
Copy !req
100. So he waved?
Copy !req
101. I wouldn't have
taken him for a waver.
Copy !req
102. No, he was just trying
to be funny.
Copy !req
103. Maybe he's shy.
- Or he hates me.
Copy !req
104. No guy in the history
of the world has ever hated you.
Copy !req
105. She probably thinks
i hate her now.
Copy !req
106. I've waited my entire adolescent
life for a date with this girl,
Copy !req
107. you know,
Serena Van Der Woodsen...
Copy !req
108. And i decide to close
the evening with a wave.
It was a nice wave.
Copy !req
109. At the end of a date?
Come on, there's no such thing.
Copy !req
110. And you only get one shot
with a girl like Serena.
Copy !req
111. I got mine, and i blew it.
Which means
you have nothing to lose.
Copy !req
112. No, nothing except
my last shred of dignity.
Oh, no. I think that's gone.
Copy !req
113. You're right.
Copy !req
114. You know what? I'm just—
I'm gonna go talk to her.
Copy !req
115. I'm gonna apologize
for the wave.
Copy !req
116. I'm gonna tell her
how much i like her,
Copy !req
117. and I'm gonna ask
for a second shot.
Copy !req
118. No, I'm gonna get
a second shot.
- Yeah, you are.
Copy !req
119. Yeah.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Copy !req
120. I love the plan,
Copy !req
121. but, uh, you need
a better outfit.
Copy !req
122. And maybe a shower.
Copy !req
123. whatever.
It's probably for the best.
Copy !req
124. The last thing i need
in my life is a new guy.
Copy !req
125. He was just so smart,
though,
Copy !req
126. and—and funny...
Copy !req
127. It sounds like
you like him.
Copy !req
128. And really nice.
Copy !req
129. God, Blair was
so mean to me last night.
Copy !req
130. I don't even know why.
Whatever.
Copy !req
131. I'm sure if we talk about it,
we can work it out.
Copy !req
132. Hey, maybe i should
go over there.
Copy !req
133. Serena had better
just stay away.
Copy !req
134. Thank you, Dorota.
Yeah, thanks.
Copy !req
135. We love sleeping at Blair's.
I don't want
to see Serena at school,
Copy !req
136. and she better not show
at brunch today.
You're really mad at Serena.
Copy !req
137. No, never.
- Of course not.
Copy !req
138. I wonder if Nate
remembered brunch.
Copy !req
139. It would be so wrong
for me to show up
Copy !req
140. without my boyfriend
whom i love, and who loves me.
Copy !req
141. Mm.
Copy !req
142. Hello?
Copy !req
143. Hi, sweetie.
Did i wake you?
Copy !req
144. No, I'm up.
Copy !req
145. Well,
get some strong coffee
Copy !req
146. and jump in the shower,
sleepyhead.
Copy !req
147. Chuck's dad's brunch
for his foundation
Copy !req
148. is today at the palace.
Oh, right. Of course.
Copy !req
149. Nathaniel, keep it down.
Copy !req
150. Some of us are trying
to regain our strength.
Copy !req
151. Your dad's brunch is today.
Copy !req
152. Alarm's set for 9:00.
Copy !req
153. It's 10:00.
Copy !req
154. Ladies, double-time.
Copy !req
155. Hmm?
Copy !req
156. Oh, unless... Nathaniel...
Copy !req
157. I'm good.
Copy !req
158. Actually, could you two
bring some coffee
Copy !req
159. when you get a chance?
And some water... lots of water.
Copy !req
160. You want ice with that?
Copy !req
161. Looks like
you could use some.
Copy !req
162. That's enough, ladies.
Copy !req
163. And I'll be sure
to tell my father
Copy !req
164. just how committed you are
to the hospitality industry.
Copy !req
165. That kid popped
you pretty good, huh?
Copy !req
166. Why, 'cause you
kill people now?
Copy !req
167. You gonna strangle him
with your scarf?
Copy !req
168. Don't mock the scarf, Nathaniel.
It's my signature.
Copy !req
169. I'm just saying,
Copy !req
170. death by scarf—
not that intimidating.
Copy !req
171. He sucker punched me.
I told you.
Copy !req
172. Besides,
better a broken nose
Copy !req
173. than a broken heart.
Copy !req
174. What? I didn't even talk
to Serena last night.
Copy !req
175. Who said anything
about Serena?
Copy !req
176. Do i look okay?
Copy !req
177. Definitely
second-shot material.
Copy !req
178. All right,
then I'm gonna go.
Copy !req
179. Oh, um,
Copy !req
180. and about what happened,
you know, with, uh, Chuck?
Copy !req
181. If you wanna,
like, talk to someone...
Copy !req
182. N-not your brother—
just let me know.
Copy !req
183. Okay.
Copy !req
184. Yeah, I'll...
Copy !req
185. All right.
Copy !req
186. Hey, uh, wait.
Copy !req
187. Actually, there is someone
i wanna talk to.
Copy !req
188. Hey, hey,
where you guys going?
Copy !req
189. I was gonna make waffles.
Ooh. Sorry, dad.
Copy !req
190. Yeah, can't.
But i wanna hear
about your date.
Copy !req
191. (Dan) Later.
- And your party.
Copy !req
192. When we get back.
You guys missed
a really great show,
Copy !req
193. and i make
really good waffles.
Copy !req
194. (man) Palace hotel lobby.
Hi. This is,
uh, Nate Archibald
Copy !req
195. calling from the bass suite.
I know you don't normally
Copy !req
196. give out this information,
but can you tell me what room
Copy !req
197. the Van Der woodsens
are in, please?
Copy !req
198. Hey, Blair. It's me.
Copy !req
199. Uh, i guess
you're still sleeping,
Copy !req
200. but I'm gonna come over.
Copy !req
201. I think we need to talk.
Copy !req
202. Okay. Uh, see you soon. Bye.
Copy !req
203. it looks like
the table's all set.
Copy !req
204. As soon as the guests arrive,
we can start dishing.
Copy !req
205. Here's what's on the menu...
Copy !req
206. Mom, did you borrow
my Michel perrys?
Copy !req
207. I can't find anything in here!
Copy !req
208. Well, it might help
if you unpacked.
Copy !req
209. Look, you're home now.
Copy !req
210. It's your life.
You should start living it.
Copy !req
211. This is not life,
this is a hotel—
Copy !req
212. which we're living in because
you decided you didn't like
Copy !req
213. the color of the walls
in our real home.
Copy !req
214. Mom, i said
I'd go to this brunch.
Copy !req
215. What more do you want from me?
Sweetie, why are you
being like this?
Copy !req
216. You love parties.
This is just not like you.
Copy !req
217. Maybe it is like me. Maybe you
don't know what I'm really like.
Copy !req
218. Oh, okay, tell me.
Copy !req
219. So did you and Dan have fun
at the concert last night?
Copy !req
220. We, um, never made it.
Copy !req
221. We actually ended up
at the kiss on the lips party.
Copy !req
222. Ah. Well,
that must have pleased Blair.
Copy !req
223. Blair? Actually,
no, not that pleased,
Copy !req
224. which is why I'm going
to talk to her.
Copy !req
225. Well just be back
in time for brunch, okay?
Mom.
Copy !req
226. Look, honey, i know how hard
it is for you to be back,
Copy !req
227. but the more
you hide yourself away,
Copy !req
228. the more people are gonna think
you have something to hide.
Coming from someone
Copy !req
229. who's keeping my brother
in an institution.
Copy !req
230. That's different.
I mean it. Don't be late.
Copy !req
231. Hey. How you doing?
Copy !req
232. Uh, i-i was in yesterday
with Serena.
How could i forget?
Copy !req
233. Yeah, well, um,
is she in?
Copy !req
234. Just missed her, actually,
but you're welcome to wait.
Copy !req
235. Okay, maybe i will.
Copy !req
236. She—she probably
won't be that long, right?
Copy !req
237. Once she went out and didn't
come back for six months,
Copy !req
238. but feel free to sit.
Copy !req
239. Over there.
Copy !req
240. Over there
is where I'll be.
Copy !req
241. Hi, Nate.
It's great to see you.
Copy !req
242. Hi, Mrs. Van Der Woodsen.
Good to see you.
Oh, I'm just heading out.
Copy !req
243. Oh, is Serena in?
Oh, you just missed her,
but I'll tell her you came by.
Copy !req
244. I'm sure she'll
be happy to hear it.
Uh, i don't know about that.
Copy !req
245. Oh, what?
Come on, Serena loves you.
Copy !req
246. I mean, i think she's always
had a little crush on you.
Copy !req
247. Of course, you and Blair
are the perfect couple.
Copy !req
248. I'm just gonna step out
for a while.
Copy !req
249. Nate's gonna wait
for Serena.
Copy !req
250. Great. He can get in line
behind that guy.
Copy !req
251. I had a feeling
you'd be back.
Copy !req
252. Dan, is it?
Copy !req
253. Humphrey. Yes.
Copy !req
254. It's nice to see you again,
Mrs. Van Der Woodsen.
Copy !req
255. I hope you've had
a pleasant, uh...
Copy !req
256. Uh, 21 hours
since i last saw you.
Copy !req
257. Yes, it has
been very pleasant...
Copy !req
258. Until now.
Copy !req
259. Gentlemen.
Copy !req
260. Hey.
Copy !req
261. Hey.
Copy !req
262. Blair?
Copy !req
263. Hey.
Copy !req
264. Serena.
Copy !req
265. Hey, i got two bone-dry caps
and Audrey.
Copy !req
266. I must
have totally blanked
Copy !req
267. on the part
where i invited you over.
Copy !req
268. I-i called you.
Copy !req
269. Blair, it's Sunday morning.
Copy !req
270. Coffee, croissants,
"breakfast at Tiffany's."
Copy !req
271. It's our tradition.
Copy !req
272. I have new traditions now.
Copy !req
273. Well, they're not traditions
if they're new.
Copy !req
274. Look, Blair, I'm really trying
to make an effort here.
Copy !req
275. I thought everything
was good between us.
Copy !req
276. It was...
Copy !req
277. Before i found out
you had sex with my boyfriend.
Copy !req
278. how'd you find out?
Copy !req
279. Nate told me.
Copy !req
280. At least he felt he owed it
to me to tell the truth.
I don't know what to say.
Copy !req
281. Don't bother saying anything.
I wouldn't believe you anyway.
Copy !req
282. Blair, it was...
Copy !req
283. You know...
Copy !req
284. I always knew
you were a whore.
Copy !req
285. I never took you
for a liar, too.
Copy !req
286. Blair, how can i fix this?
Copy !req
287. You don't, Serena.
Copy !req
288. You just stay away
from me,
Copy !req
289. my boyfriend
and my friends.
Copy !req
290. You're done here.
Copy !req
291. Serena's visit was short
and apparently not very sweet.
Copy !req
292. But you know what is?
Copy !req
293. Revenge.
Copy !req
294. We hear it's best served cold.
Copy !req
295. Who's hungry?
Copy !req
296. Dorota, i told you
i didn't want to see anyone.
Copy !req
297. Hi, Jenny.
Copy !req
298. Hi.
Copy !req
299. What do you want?
Copy !req
300. Uh...
Copy !req
301. I realized that i still have
your calligraphy pens
Copy !req
302. from the party invitations,
Copy !req
303. and thought you might
need them for something.
Copy !req
304. That is the lamest excuse
I've ever heard.
Copy !req
305. You wanna know what Chuck bass
is saying about you.
Copy !req
306. No.
Copy !req
307. Is he... saying things?
Copy !req
308. Is anyone?
Copy !req
309. Mm... no.
Copy !req
310. Not yet, anyway.
Copy !req
311. Chuck likes to brag about
his conquests, not his victims.
Copy !req
312. Come on. You can help me
get ready for brunch.
Copy !req
313. Okay. Sure.
Copy !req
314. Nice flowers.
Copy !req
315. They're hydrangeas.
Copy !req
316. Just coffee.
I'm not staying long.
Copy !req
317. I'd like to get out of here
before someone throws me down
Copy !req
318. and tattoos me.
This is Brooklyn, lil,
not the warped tour.
Copy !req
319. And don't tell me you had
all your tattoos removed.
Copy !req
320. I mean, even that one,
Copy !req
321. that little heart-shaped one
between your, uh...
- Uh, don't try to be cute, okay?
Copy !req
322. So what's the big emergency?
Dan went out
with Serena last night.
Copy !req
323. of the hotel
where we're living.
Hi. Can i help you?
Copy !req
324. Two americanos...
One with an extra shot?
Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
325. You don't actually think
I'm gonna tell my kid
Copy !req
326. who he can and can't date.
Copy !req
327. I mean, is that really
the reason you came down here?
Copy !req
328. You're right, you're right.
It's the low-income tax bracket,
Copy !req
329. the bad v-neck t-shirts,
the awful jokes.
Copy !req
330. I don't know
why your wife you.
Copy !req
331. Well, she's got better
taste than you.
Here you are. Thanks.
Copy !req
332. I mean, come on.
Why else have i seen you
Copy !req
333. more in the last 2 days
than in the last 15 years?
An unfortunate twist of fate.
Copy !req
334. But fate nonetheless.
Unless you, uh...
Copy !req
335. Are you seeing someone?
Copy !req
336. No, not really.
Copy !req
337. Uh-huh, not serious...
Copy !req
338. Or he's married.
That is your type.
Copy !req
339. That's enough, Rufus.
Copy !req
340. What's his name?
Copy !req
341. I've read about him
in "Forbes" or "rolling stone"?
Copy !req
342. Well, whoever he is, I'm sure
he can't keep up with you.
Copy !req
343. Well, I'm gonna take that
as a compliment,
Copy !req
344. but I'm serious.
I'm worried about Serena.
Copy !req
345. I don't need some new boy
influencing her,
Copy !req
346. distracting her
from her needs.
Well, no offense, lil,
Copy !req
347. but I'm guessing a kid like Dan
is exactly what Serena needs.
Copy !req
348. So, uh...
Copy !req
349. What do you need
to talk to Serena about?
Copy !req
350. Nothing,
just in the neighborhood.
Copy !req
351. You?
Copy !req
352. I...
Copy !req
353. Am nowhere near
the neighborhood,
Copy !req
354. but I'm working
on a better excuse.
Copy !req
355. You guys, like...
Copy !req
356. Oh, uh...
Copy !req
357. I... i don't know.
Copy !req
358. Yeah, well,
that's Serena.
Copy !req
359. With her,
you'll never know.
Copy !req
360. Nathaniel.
Copy !req
361. There you are.
What are you doing?
Copy !req
362. Nothing, waiting for you.
Copy !req
363. Him?
Copy !req
364. Actually, it is.
Yeah, so unless you have
a reason to be here,
Copy !req
365. I'll have to ask you
to wait on the curb
Copy !req
366. with the rest of the trash.
Trash? Look, man,
i live in Brooklyn, all right?
Copy !req
367. Not the ozarks...
No offense to the ozarks.
Copy !req
368. But don't you think we're
taking this class warfare thing
Copy !req
369. a little too far?
I haven't even started, man.
Copy !req
370. Okay, man, let's just go.
Don't tell me you're sticking up
for Serena's new bitch.
Copy !req
371. If anyone's got a reason
to kick his ass, it's you.
Copy !req
372. He's not worth it.
Not here.
Copy !req
373. This isn't over.
Copy !req
374. Hey, anytime, man.
Copy !req
375. That one black eye
looks a little lonely.
Copy !req
376. Come on, chill out.
Copy !req
377. wow. Blair, it's...
It's beautiful.
Copy !req
378. I mean, you look...
Beautiful.
Copy !req
379. It's average.
Copy !req
380. The color is last season,
Copy !req
381. and besides,
Stella McCartney has
Copy !req
382. a much better version
at Bergdorf's.
Copy !req
383. Right. I... I've been meaning
to go by Bergdorf's.
Copy !req
384. Wow,
these dolls are great.
Copy !req
385. Oh, my god.
You have a cabbage patch.
Copy !req
386. My brother used to have one
of these. His name was Cedric.
Copy !req
387. My brother's name is Dan.
Actually, you might know him.
Copy !req
388. He, um, he went out
with Serena last night.
Copy !req
389. That's your brother?
Copy !req
390. So does that mean
you're friends with Serena now?
Copy !req
391. I mean, i don't have
a problem with her,
Copy !req
392. but if someone did have
a problem with her,
Copy !req
393. i wouldn't have a problem
with that either.
Copy !req
394. You know...
Copy !req
395. If you like that dress,
you can have it.
Copy !req
396. What? No, no.
Copy !req
397. I'm sure you'll
find some way to repay me.
Copy !req
398. Oh, Blair, thank you.
Copy !req
399. I mean,
for the dress and...
Copy !req
400. For the other thing
about, uh, about Chuck.
Copy !req
401. If you want to be
part of this world, Jenny,
Copy !req
402. people will talk...
Copy !req
403. Eventually,
Copy !req
404. and you need to decide
if all this is worth it.
Copy !req
405. Dan. Hey.
Copy !req
406. I-i-i was
in the neighborhood...
Copy !req
407. Uh, give or take 70 blocks.
Copy !req
408. um, i just wanted
to tell you in person
Copy !req
409. that, uh,
the end of last night
Copy !req
410. may have not been
my finest hour.
Copy !req
411. There was a, uh, a wave.
Copy !req
412. I-i-i saw that, yeah.
Copy !req
413. Yeah, yeah, and since then,
Copy !req
414. I've just
been wondering, uh...
Copy !req
415. are you hungry?
Copy !req
416. Yes.
Copy !req
417. Actually, I've had
the worst morning.
Copy !req
418. Well, you—you wanna—
you wanna talk?
Copy !req
419. And eat? Not necessarily
in that order.
- Yes, i would love to do both,
Copy !req
420. Mom.
Copy !req
421. Ms. Van Der Woodsen.
Copy !req
422. Dan... still here.
Copy !req
423. Look, mom,
i really don't think
Copy !req
424. it's a good idea
for me to go to that brunch.
You promised.
Copy !req
425. Yeah, but that was bef—
Copy !req
426. before i knew Dan
was hungry, too.
Copy !req
427. I can't let the boy starve.
Copy !req
428. It would be inhumane.
Copy !req
429. He's not invited.
Yeah, that's why
I'm going with him.
Copy !req
430. Because i can't go
with her.
Copy !req
431. And we have plans
to go to brunch together today.
Copy !req
432. We had those plans.
Copy !req
433. Serena, you're home,
Copy !req
434. living under my roof,
my rules.
Copy !req
435. What is it gonna take
to get you dressed
Copy !req
436. and through that door?
Copy !req
437. uh, you know what? May—
maybe this was a-a bad idea.
Copy !req
438. You've got to be kidding.
Copy !req
439. Yeah, this was—this was
definitely a bad idea.
This should be fun.
Copy !req
440. Looks like Chuck and Blair
Copy !req
441. showed up
with quite an appetite...
Copy !req
442. For destruction, that is.
Copy !req
443. Hey, dad,
how's the new song going?
Copy !req
444. Oh, i think
i need more coffee.
Copy !req
445. Whatever works.
Copy !req
446. Where'd you get the dress?
Oh, it was a thank you-gift
from Blair
Copy !req
447. Dad, she has a closet
the size of this apartment
Copy !req
448. Uh, one of a couple
of reasons.
Copy !req
449. Hey, you think
the farmers market's still open?
Copy !req
450. Yeah. Why, you wanna go?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
451. I thought you were getting too
old to go places with your dad.
Well, you used to be cool,
Copy !req
452. and the '90s
are having a comeback.
Copy !req
453. You have no idea
how much that hurts.
Copy !req
454. Well, i can't say much
for his child-rearing skills,
Copy !req
455. but Bart bass
knows brunch.
Copy !req
456. um, i, uh, i-i need to use
the ladies room.
Copy !req
457. Uh, you think you'll be okay
by yourself for a while?
Copy !req
458. Yeah. Come on.
Me and, uh, some beluga caviar?
Copy !req
459. Can't get enough
of the stuff.
Copy !req
460. Okay.
Copy !req
461. Great.
Copy !req
462. Hey, how's it going?
Copy !req
463. no, you're—you're okay.
Copy !req
464. Yeah, just, uh, go ahead
and do your thing.
Copy !req
465. Charles.
Copy !req
466. Would you excuse me?
Copy !req
467. Father.
Copy !req
468. The, uh,
the invitation said
Copy !req
469. "black tie,"
not "black eye."
Copy !req
470. Are you okay?
Copy !req
471. I mean, if you're
in some kind of trouble...
Copy !req
472. Only of my own making.
Copy !req
473. Why do you think
i do all this, huh?
Copy !req
474. This party is for you,
okay?
Copy !req
475. So you can meet people,
Copy !req
476. you know,
become a part of something,
Copy !req
477. make some kind of change.
Copy !req
478. Really?
Copy !req
479. I thought it was
another excuse for an open bar
Copy !req
480. and, uh, rehiring
of the nearly nude statues.
Copy !req
481. do me a favor, will you?
Copy !req
482. Lose the scotch.
It's barely noon.
Copy !req
483. Serena, i really need
to talk to you.
Copy !req
484. Actually, i need to talk to you,
which means you can listen.
Copy !req
485. Nate, you told Blair.
What were you thinking?
Copy !req
486. Look, i want to explain.
Excuse me.
Copy !req
487. Sorry.
Copy !req
488. We can't talk here.
Copy !req
489. What,
where Blair might see us?
Copy !req
490. Meet me in Chuck's suite.
I'm not sneaking around
with you.
Copy !req
491. Please. Just to talk.
Copy !req
492. Ten minutes.
Copy !req
493. I'll meet you up there.
Copy !req
494. You look beautiful,
as always.
Copy !req
495. Where's your lovely mother
today?
Copy !req
496. Paris. Must be some drama
at the atelier.
Copy !req
497. Oh, nothing too dramatic,
i hope.
Copy !req
498. Her line is doing very well.
Copy !req
499. I was just telling my firm what
a great investment she'd make.
Copy !req
500. She's really going places.
Copy !req
501. Hopefully places
far, far away.
Copy !req
502. Just kidding.
Copy !req
503. Hey. Let me get you a refill.
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
504. I'll go with you.
Excuse us.
Copy !req
505. Blair seems happy.
It looks like, uh,
Copy !req
506. you're taking care
of business, as discussed.
Copy !req
507. Dad, not everything in life's
a business deal.
Copy !req
508. Come talk to me
in thirty years.
Copy !req
509. I want to introduce you
to Timothy good.
- Hi.
Copy !req
510. His firm has got some really
interesting Summer internships.
Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
511. i can't believe Serena
came to this brunch.
Copy !req
512. I told her to stay away.
Copy !req
513. You worried about Nate?
Copy !req
514. just a shot in the dark.
Copy !req
515. I think you know what you need
to do to get his attention.
Copy !req
516. And what's that?
The key to my suite,
Copy !req
517. Nate's heart
and your future happiness.
Copy !req
518. I'm honored to be playing
even a small role
Copy !req
519. in your deflowering.
Copy !req
520. You're disgusting.
Yes, i am, so why be shy?
Copy !req
521. Just grab Nate
and finish this.
Copy !req
522. Report back with details.
Copy !req
523. nice to meet you. Dad.
Copy !req
524. Hey, can i get you a drink?
Copy !req
525. What are you doing
right now?
Uh, well, i was just gonna—
Copy !req
526. how about me?
- Um...
Copy !req
527. What, you have
a better offer or...
Copy !req
528. No, of course not.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
529. Uh, now?
Copy !req
530. Now. Now.
Copy !req
531. Mmm.
- Where are we going?
Copy !req
532. I got us the best room
in the whole place.
Copy !req
533. wait,
this is Chuck's suite.
- Nate.
Copy !req
534. Serena?
Copy !req
535. Blair.
Copy !req
536. Spotted—n. And b.
Copy !req
537. Hot and heavy in the halls
of the palace hotel,
Copy !req
538. only to find s.
Already waiting.
Copy !req
539. Sparks were flying for sure,
Copy !req
540. but will it be a 3-way
Copy !req
541. or d-day?
Copy !req
542. What is she doing here?
I was meeting Nate.
Copy !req
543. Just to talk, i swear.
You said you'd never
speak to her again.
Copy !req
544. You said that?
Why would you say that?
Because you can't be trusted.
Copy !req
545. It's not Serena's fault.
Do not defend her.
Copy !req
546. I asked her to come.
Oh. Oh, so you do want
to talk to her.
Copy !req
547. Yes, to explain
why I'm not talking to her.
Copy !req
548. Maybe I'll leave you two
Copy !req
549. to finish that fascinating
conversation.
Copy !req
550. Oh, no, no. I'll go. Let you
guys get back to your quickie.
Copy !req
551. It wasn't a quickie.
Copy !req
552. Sex is actually kind of
a big deal to some of us.
Copy !req
553. Oh, yeah, i can see that.
Chuck's bed? Very romantic.
Copy !req
554. Classy, too.
Copy !req
555. Oh, like you?
Copy !req
556. I'll bet your new friend Dan
Copy !req
557. would love to hear
all about how classy you are.
Copy !req
558. Dan? What...
Copy !req
559. What, you really think
she would tell him?
- It's Blair.
Copy !req
560. I can't believe you told her.
You just expected me
to keep it a secret?
Copy !req
561. Yes, Nate. There's nothing wrong
with keeping a secret
Copy !req
562. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't
realize all of a sudden
Copy !req
563. you're the most honest guy
on the planet.
Copy !req
564. Well, it just seems to me
that you're the one
Copy !req
565. I just don't want to see you
with anyone else.
Copy !req
566. Tell your harem
of shopgirls and models
Copy !req
567. that you're seeing someone.
I am, but those conversations
take a little time.
Copy !req
568. Well, they've got nothing
but time, Bart. They're 25.
Copy !req
569. Excuse me.
Copy !req
570. Dan, wait.
Copy !req
571. Look, i really don't appreciate
your lurking in the shadows,
Copy !req
572. eavesdropping
on my private conversation.
Copy !req
573. What? No. No, no, i wasn't.
I was looking for Serena.
Copy !req
574. I don't know
what you're doing here
Copy !req
575. or what you think
you heard...
Nothing. I heard nothing.
Copy !req
576. But Serena doesn't know.
Copy !req
577. And neither do i, okay?
Copy !req
578. So now if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna go back inside,
Copy !req
579. not tell anyone a thing
and mind my own business.
Copy !req
580. Dan.
Copy !req
581. Hi. I'm Blair Waldorf,
Serena's friend.
Copy !req
582. Oh, hey. Yeah, uh, do you
happen to know where she is?
Copy !req
583. As a matter of fact, i do.
Blair.
Copy !req
584. To talk.
- About why
we weren't talking.
Copy !req
585. That doesn't sound
any smarter the second time.
Why weren't you talking?
Copy !req
586. Does this have
anything to do with
Copy !req
587. why you were waiting
for Serena this morning?
You were what?
Copy !req
588. Now what is going on here?
We were just getting into that.
Copy !req
589. Blair, please, don't do this.
Sorry. Oh,
do you wanna tell him?
Copy !req
590. I'll tell him.
You know?
Copy !req
591. I know everything.
And apparently,
i know nothing.
Copy !req
592. Look, Dan, it—it was a long
time ago, and i regret it.
Look, Serena,
Copy !req
593. stop trying to pretend
you're a good girl.
Copy !req
594. So you slept with
your best friend's boyfriend.
Copy !req
595. I kind of admire you
for it.
Copy !req
596. Is that true?
Copy !req
597. Well, then she ran away
and lied about it.
Copy !req
598. I just thought you should know
before you fall head over heels
Copy !req
599. for your perfect girl
and her perfect world,
Copy !req
600. and then get left all alone
Copy !req
601. with no one
but your cabbage patch kid.
Cabbage patch?
Copy !req
602. Did you talk to my sister?
Ah, yes, little Jenny.
Copy !req
603. I do believe she and i
have some unfinished business.
Copy !req
604. You stay away from her.
Copy !req
605. Poor Daniel. So little time,
so many sluts to defend.
Copy !req
606. It's fine. It's fine.
Everyone can stop looking.
Copy !req
607. He's a jerk...
Copy !req
608. But it's my fault,
and—and I'm leaving.
Copy !req
609. I—I'll go with you.
Copy !req
610. Actually,
I'd prefer if you didn't.
Copy !req
611. Hope you're happy.
Copy !req
612. Not even close.
Copy !req
613. Looks like
it's just you and me.
Copy !req
614. Apparently,
my room is available.
Copy !req
615. some might call this
a "fustercluck,"
Copy !req
616. but on the Upper East Side,
we call it Sunday afternoon.
Copy !req
617. Dan!
Copy !req
618. Dan, wait. I'm so sorry.
There's no—
there's no need to be.
Copy !req
619. Really, i shouldn't have come
here today. I made a mistake.
Copy !req
620. No, you didn't. Look, I'm sorry
about Blair and Chuck—
Copy !req
621. it's not about
Blair or Chuck.
Copy !req
622. I mean, it is,
but it's—it's not just them.
Copy !req
623. No, i know. Trust me, i know.
This world—it—it's crazy.
Copy !req
624. Yeah, it—it is...
Copy !req
625. And you're a part of it.
Copy !req
626. What, and you didn't
know that?
Copy !req
627. I don't know.
I-i thought you were different.
Copy !req
628. Well, I'm sorry
I'm not who you thought i was,
Copy !req
629. but what's happened
is in the past,
Copy !req
630. you know, and all i can do
is try to change.
Copy !req
631. But if you
can't accept that,
Copy !req
632. then, you know, you're
not who i thought you were.
Copy !req
633. Well, i guess
we both made mistakes.
Copy !req
634. Hi.
Hey, Jen said
you went looking for Serena.
Copy !req
635. Did you find her?
Copy !req
636. Mm. Yeah, yeah, i found her,
and, uh, and then i lost her.
Copy !req
637. Oh, uh, that's, uh...
Copy !req
638. It's fine. It's fine.
Really, it's all for the best.
Copy !req
639. Serena and her friends
and her family...
Copy !req
640. Her whole world...
Copy !req
641. Turns out it wasn't for me.
Copy !req
642. Wait, Dan. What happened?
Copy !req
643. Did you tell Blair Waldorf
about Cedric?
Copy !req
644. I...
Copy !req
645. It may have come up.
Copy !req
646. You can't trust
these people, Jen.
Copy !req
647. Don't tell 'em anything.
Copy !req
648. They're nice flowers.
Copy !req
649. They're hydrangeas.
Copy !req
650. Look, Blair,
Copy !req
651. either you try
to forgive me and move on...
Copy !req
652. Or we end it.
Copy !req
653. well, Serena's mystery man
is a mystery no longer.
Copy !req
654. His name is... oh, who cares?
Copy !req
655. Now that he and s. Are over,
so are his 15 minutes.
Copy !req
656. But his sister Jenny
Copy !req
657. was spotted with a new dress...
Gifted from Blair herself.
Copy !req
658. Everyone knows
an Eleanor original
Copy !req
659. is the uniform
of b.'S private army.
Copy !req
660. But will j. Be a loyal soldier
Copy !req
661. or will she side
with s.'S rebel forces?
Copy !req
662. And as for s. Herself,
Copy !req
663. we hear that she left
today's brunch with no friends,
Copy !req
664. no boy
and nowhere left to run.
Copy !req
665. it looks like
the ultimate insider
Copy !req
666. has become a total outsider.
Copy !req
667. It's your move, Serena,
Copy !req
668. and you know
who will be watching—
Copy !req
669. gossip girl.
Copy !req
