1. Gossip girl
here—your one and only source
Copy !req
2. into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.
André Leon talley is raving
Copy !req
3. about the finale dress,
loved it.
Copy !req
4. My dress?
- Is that what you told
headmistress queller,
Copy !req
5. I tried to write, but there was
something in the way.
Copy !req
6. I couldn't focus.
You'll get no letter
of recommendation from me.
Copy !req
7. The captain is being charged
Copy !req
8. I'm just tired of trying
to hold myself back
Copy !req
9. so i don't outshine you.
Excuse me?
Copy !req
10. From now on,
I'm gonna be who i am.
Copy !req
11. And who am i?
Copy !req
12. That's a secret
I'll never tell.
Copy !req
13. You know you love me.
Copy !req
14. X.O.X.O., gossip girl.
Copy !req
15. The rain in Spain
Copy !req
16. stays mainly
Copy !req
17. in the plain.
Copy !req
18. Again.
Copy !req
19. The... rain...
Copy !req
20. In... Spain...
Copy !req
21. Stays...
Mainly in the... plain?
Copy !req
22. Well, I'm a straight-"a"
student, i am.
Copy !req
23. The rain in... Spain...
Copy !req
24. The rain in Spain
Copy !req
25. stays mainly in the plain.
Copy !req
26. By George,
i think she's got it.
Copy !req
27. I do?
Copy !req
28. No.
Copy !req
29. She does.
Copy !req
30. Rise and shine, early birds.
Copy !req
31. Gossip girl here.
Copy !req
32. We all have dreams—
some good, some bad,
Copy !req
33. some fun and freudian...
Copy !req
34. Morning, miss Blair.
Copy !req
35. And some are the dreams
we've had our whole lives.
Copy !req
36. Dorota, can you believe
that in just three short hours,
Copy !req
37. every night
until it fell apart.
I'll get a new one,
Copy !req
38. right after i attend
Copy !req
39. the Dean of admissions'
private reception, of course.
Copy !req
40. Most candidates think
it's an urban legend,
Copy !req
41. but she was very specific
about your breakfast.
Copy !req
42. Some kombucha, miss Blair?
Since the Dean
handpicks the guests
Copy !req
43. right after their interviews,
I'm a shoo-in.
Copy !req
44. If there's one thing i know,
it's that i give good interview.
Copy !req
45. I could make Larry king cry.
Copy !req
46. I am so proud of you.
Copy !req
47. And I'm so ready
Copy !req
48. to be surrounded by people
more like me and less like...
Copy !req
49. Her.
Copy !req
50. You've got
to be kidding me.
Copy !req
51. Ready?
Copy !req
52. Oh, yeah.
Um, I'm all packed up.
Copy !req
53. You excited,
me at your Alma mater?
Copy !req
54. So i guess that means
you turned down
Copy !req
55. this, uh, personal invitation
to tour Yale?
Copy !req
56. Brown's always been my plan,
just like it was for you.
And i loved it there,
Copy !req
57. but if Yale had invited me,
i would have said yes.
Copy !req
58. The, uh, invitation is
handwritten, Serena, in cursive.
Copy !req
59. Yale is
for overachieving bookworms
Copy !req
60. and preppies—
the blairs of the world.
Copy !req
61. Even though the two of us aren't
exactly on speaking terms,
Copy !req
62. there's no way i would step
on that particular land mine.
Copy !req
63. Miss Serena and you
are still not speaking?
Copy !req
64. Not a word in a week, though
i can't seem to escape her.
Copy !req
65. Ever since my mother's show,
Copy !req
66. Manhattan has turned
into serenaville.
Copy !req
67. I heard Marc Jacobs
named a purse after her.
Copy !req
68. Well, i simply don't understand
the fascination.
Copy !req
69. Fortunately,
Yale is out of her reach.
Copy !req
70. It's okay, Serena. You don't
have to hide the photo.
Copy !req
71. I've seen it.
I'm sorry they called you
my unidentified friend.
Copy !req
72. Well, i guess it's better
than "mother."
What's in the bag?
Copy !req
73. It's my dress for
the fall dinner at the frick.
Copy !req
74. Eleanor sent them over.
I don't know why there's two.
Copy !req
75. This one's a little edgier
than i thought, but i like it.
Copy !req
76. Apparently it's for me.
Copy !req
77. Oh, this must be mine.
Copy !req
78. Of the paper? It's white.
No, no, no. It's not white.
It's soft ecru.
Copy !req
79. This is—that's white.
Copy !req
80. I like the ecru myself,
but I'm not sure about the font.
Don't worry. You'll be fine.
Copy !req
81. I didn't say "cursed."
"Cursed" would be cruel.
Copy !req
82. I now feel compelled
to give a speech.
Copy !req
83. Daniel, my son, you have
near perfect grades,
Copy !req
84. excellent s.A.T.S, more talent
than money could ever buy.
Yeah, but...
Copy !req
85. After that, you find a "but"?
What if it's not enough?
Copy !req
86. If that's not enough,
then there's something wrong
Copy !req
87. with Yale, not you.
Thanks, dad. All right,
well, I'm—I'm off.
Copy !req
88. It's just me, the best
English department in America
Copy !req
89. and a hundred other
highly competitive
Copy !req
90. extremely nervous,
wannabe yalies.
Get excited, Archibald.
Copy !req
91. We are three hours away from
horny women's studies majors
Copy !req
92. wanting to work out
all their anger towards men
Copy !req
93. in their bunk beds.
Copy !req
94. My heart's still set
on u.S.C.
Copy !req
95. I-i just wish my mom
wouldn't push Yale so hard.
I think she's only pushing it
Copy !req
96. 'cause the Vanderbilt side of
her family practically owns it.
Copy !req
97. Think of it this way.
Yale is your safety school.
Copy !req
98. I mean,
i guess i could get away
Copy !req
99. from all the drama
on the other side of my family
Copy !req
100. and focus
on what really matters—
Copy !req
101. creating your own freshman 15.
Copy !req
102. Are you not
seriously considering
Copy !req
103. going to Yale either?
I'm, uh, evaluating colleges
based on secret societies.
Copy !req
104. Yale has the crème de la crème,
the skull and bones.
Copy !req
105. My goal is to get inside
their inner sanctum.
Copy !req
106. And how exactly are you
planning to do that?
By showing up.
Copy !req
107. This weekend concludes
college visits.
Copy !req
108. The schools
you will be visiting—
Copy !req
109. Harvard, Yale and brown—
are among the best in the world.
Copy !req
110. You are ambassadors
Copy !req
111. of constance billard
and St. Jude's,
Copy !req
112. as well as your own families.
Copy !req
113. We urge you
to present yourselves
Copy !req
114. in the best possible light.
Good luck.
- I wonder what lucky school
Copy !req
115. will be the subject
of the next nursery rhyme
Copy !req
116. penned by Brooklyn's
lamest fiction writer?
Copy !req
117. Actually, Chuck, i think
the Dean of admissions at Yale
Copy !req
118. will actually appreciate
my ability
Copy !req
119. How nice.
Say hello to the characters
Copy !req
120. on public transportation
for me.
Copy !req
121. Hey.
Copy !req
122. So you're off to Yale?
Copy !req
123. Your deductive reasoning skills
are perfect
Copy !req
124. for a place like brown.
A place like brown?
Copy !req
125. An enclave of trustafarians
and children of celebrities
Copy !req
126. who major in drum circles
Copy !req
127. and semiotics,
whatever that is.
Copy !req
128. I can't wait for you
to come home next Thanksgiving
Copy !req
129. Everyone knows
that the only real ivies
Copy !req
130. are the holy Trinity—
Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
Copy !req
131. I know you may find this
hard to believe,
Copy !req
132. but not everyone
wants to go to Yale
Copy !req
133. because not everyone
wants to be Blair Waldorf.
Copy !req
134. Not everyone can be.
Copy !req
135. Since we're not friends anymore,
let me speak frankly.
Copy !req
136. You're not that smart.
You lack focus and discipline.
Copy !req
137. Charm is all well and good,
Copy !req
138. but in the real world,
knowledge is power.
Copy !req
139. You wouldn't make it
Copy !req
140. past the first round
of admissions at Yale,
Copy !req
141. no matter how hard
you tried.
Copy !req
142. Have fun in Providence.
Oh, and, you know,
Copy !req
143. maybe you can get your hair
dreadlocked while you're there.
Copy !req
144. Gossip girl's hardly
a war buff, but i did cram
Copy !req
145. for a quiz or two
on the American revolution.
Copy !req
146. The last time new haven
was invaded was in 1779.
Copy !req
147. Hey, mom. Change of plans.
Copy !req
148. Tell the driver
we're going to Yale.
Copy !req
149. Heads up, b.
Copy !req
150. There's a cannonball
coming your way.
Copy !req
151. Oh, after that shower, there
won't be any hot water left
Copy !req
152. in the building.
I wasn't in the shower
the whole time.
Copy !req
153. I was waiting for something.
I got here
as fast as i could.
Copy !req
154. I know. I, uh, saw you running
up the block from my window.
What's going on here?
Copy !req
155. Which she has to do because she
has to work to support herself.
Copy !req
156. Living as an adult
when you're a teenager
Copy !req
157. Well, until you're 18,
Copy !req
158. what you want gets trumped
by what i want.
Plan "b."
Copy !req
159. Come to the atelier
with me today.
Copy !req
160. Come with you?
I'll make you a deal.
Spend the day with me,
Copy !req
161. and by the end of the day,
if you honestly think
Copy !req
162. heard about your internship
all Summer long.
Copy !req
163. What more is there?
Well,
things are different now.
Copy !req
164. Well, at least we'll be moving
forward in one way or another.
Copy !req
165. It's a deal.
- You mean it?
Copy !req
166. You have my word.
Thank you!
Copy !req
167. We hear there's nothing
like Yale in October—
Copy !req
168. the crisp air,
the turning leaves,
Copy !req
169. the invasion
of prospective freshmen.
Copy !req
170. Better hurry up, lonely boy.
Copy !req
171. Your future's waiting.
Copy !req
172. To summarize, i-i really feel
that i have something to say.
Copy !req
173. Well, by all means, say it.
Via my writing.
Copy !req
174. Uh, with—with its
world-class English department,
Copy !req
175. Yale would be the ideal place
for me to grow
Copy !req
176. as a—as a writer,
to—to flourish
Copy !req
177. and, uh, thrive.
Copy !req
178. Kudos to you and your
inner thesaurus, Mr. Humphrey,
Copy !req
179. but there's a problem
with your application.
Copy !req
180. A-a-a PR—no, there's um,
i double—i triple-checked it.
Copy !req
181. It seems you only have
one letter of recommendation
Copy !req
182. from j.L. Hall.
Copy !req
183. Noah shapiro declined
to write on your behalf.
Copy !req
184. Um, Mr. shapiro and i
had creative differences,
Copy !req
185. but—but if you look
further down my application,
Copy !req
186. you'll see that
i spent the Summer
Copy !req
187. interning
with Jeremiah Harris.
A fact which Mr. Harris
Copy !req
188. has not been able
to confirm himself.
Copy !req
189. Oh, um, did you—did you
call him early in the morning?
Copy !req
190. 'Cause he's not—
he's not a-a morning person.
Copy !req
191. I mean, he's not
an afternoon person either.
Copy !req
192. If you try, like, after 7:00—
Mr. Humphrey, if you want
your application to stand out,
Copy !req
193. you need another letter,
one about your work.
Copy !req
194. Another letter from whom
and how?
Copy !req
195. This is Yale.
Copy !req
196. If you haven't noticed,
Copy !req
197. we traffic in brick buildings
full of professors.
Copy !req
198. I suggest you put on
your walking shoes,
Copy !req
199. head to
the English department
Copy !req
200. and find someone
to read your work.
Copy !req
201. I thought we were
gonna do something.
Copy !req
202. What happened
to your master plan,
Copy !req
203. finding the skull and bones?
Copy !req
204. You don't find them.
Copy !req
205. They find you.
Copy !req
206. Hmm. That's good.
Copy !req
207. So we'll just sit here
and wait.
Copy !req
208. I mean, there's
a football game at 1:00
Copy !req
209. or a tour of the university
art gallery at 3:00.
Copy !req
210. Whoa.
Copy !req
211. Good luck
sitting on your ass.
Copy !req
212. Hey. Excuse me.
Can i ask you a question?
Copy !req
213. what the hell?
(Man) Come on, get him!
Copy !req
214. Oh, my. The Dean hasn't
laughed like that in years.
Copy !req
215. It was an utter delight to
meet you, miss Van Der Woodsen.
Copy !req
216. What a lovely surprise.
Oh, and who doesn't like
a surprise?
Copy !req
217. I do hope you enjoy
the rest of your visit.
Copy !req
218. Thank you so much.
Looks like he's ready for you.
Copy !req
219. Shall we, miss Waldorf?
Copy !req
220. I've never been
more prepared.
Copy !req
221. So whatever major you decide on,
you can mix up with electives.
Copy !req
222. Yale's are better than most.
Oh, really?
Copy !req
223. Mm-hmm.
Well, what's your favorite?
Copy !req
224. It's a toss-up between
the role of sex in art
Copy !req
225. and great hoaxes
in archaeology.
Copy !req
226. Those are seriously classes?
Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
227. What school
are you here from?
Copy !req
228. St. Jude's in New York.
Copy !req
229. St. Jude's? Then you must know,
uh, Nate Archibald.
Copy !req
230. He's the son of
Howard "the captain" Archibald.
Copy !req
231. We've been talking about him
in econ.
Copy !req
232. The guy's
like a modern milken.
- Oh.
Copy !req
233. Hey, uh, Jordan, do you want
to show me around campus?
Copy !req
234. I'd love to see it.
Sure, but before i go anywhere
with a stranger,
Copy !req
235. i think maybe you should
tell me your name.
Copy !req
236. Oh, my name, of course,
um, is Dan.
Copy !req
237. Dan Humphrey.
Copy !req
238. All right.
Copy !req
239. Chuck bass,
heir to bass industries,
Copy !req
240. champion of
the legendary lost weekend.
Copy !req
241. Rumor has it you've slept
with more "Maxim" covers
Copy !req
242. than John Mayer.
And better, i might add.
Copy !req
243. - If our intel's correct,
you're our prime candidate
Copy !req
244. from next year's class, but we
don't take anything on hearsay.
Copy !req
245. We need to know firsthand
Copy !req
246. if you're as good
as your advertising.
Copy !req
247. Well, i come prepared.
Copy !req
248. How about a little private party
to kick things off?
Copy !req
249. What do you have in mind?
Copy !req
250. I have to say,
Copy !req
251. your application is
most impressive, miss Waldorf.
Copy !req
252. There's just one thing
I'd like to know.
Copy !req
253. Tell me something about you
that isn't in that packet.
Copy !req
254. Oh. Not in there?
Copy !req
255. Do you like
to drive race cars?
Copy !req
256. Can you cook
authentic szechuan?
Copy !req
257. The young lady before you
told me a delightful story.
Copy !req
258. She was recently
in a fashion show just for fun.
Copy !req
259. I know i must seem
rather traditional
Copy !req
260. compared
to that young lady,
Copy !req
261. but isn't tradition
what Yale is all about?
Copy !req
262. Well, yes, but we've been
trying to change that image.
Copy !req
263. Too stuffy.
Copy !req
264. So?
Copy !req
265. Well...
Copy !req
266. I'm aware
i lack some people's
Copy !req
267. easy grace with strangers,
Copy !req
268. and i don't exactly
make you feel
Copy !req
269. like you've known me forever
even though we just met.
Copy !req
270. When i laugh,
Copy !req
271. you might not smile just
at the coquettish sound of it.
Copy !req
272. And i may not
be "spontaneous"
Copy !req
273. or "delightful"
or "full of surprises,"
Copy !req
274. and my hair might not sparkle
when it catches the light...
Copy !req
275. Everything worth knowing
about me is in that folder.
Copy !req
276. I made sure of it.
Copy !req
277. Well, isn't there anything else
you'd like to ask me?
Copy !req
278. Maybe about what my plans are
for tonight?
Copy !req
279. Uh, there's so much
to do on campus.
Copy !req
280. I'm sure
you'll find something.
Copy !req
281. It was so nice to meet you.
Copy !req
282. Right.
Copy !req
283. Uh, good luck then.
Copy !req
284. Oh, god.
Copy !req
285. Great hoaxes
in archaeology—
Copy !req
286. is that even a class?
Copy !req
287. What are you doing,
Serena?
Copy !req
288. Oh, these lovely people
Copy !req
289. were just showing me
the course catalog.
Copy !req
290. No, here. Yale.
Yale is mine.
Copy !req
291. Well, I'll admit,
i came to punish you
Copy !req
292. for the things you said
to me this morning.
Copy !req
293. Fine. Consider me punished.
You can go home now.
Copy !req
294. I actually like it here.
Copy !req
295. The campus is beautiful,
the people are so nice,
Copy !req
296. The Dean made me realize
that by being so set on brown,
Copy !req
297. i closed myself off
to all other options.
Copy !req
298. Well,
that's a lovely epiphany.
Copy !req
299. I'm afraid
it's irrelevant.
Copy !req
300. It's not as if you'd
actually get in here.
Copy !req
301. Hello?
Copy !req
302. An intimate gathering
at the Dean's house tonight?
Copy !req
303. I'd be honored.
Copy !req
304. Thank you.
Copy !req
305. You were invited
to my gathering.
Copy !req
306. You might want
to make other plans.
Copy !req
307. She said
i was her last call.
Copy !req
308. Of all the things—
Copy !req
309. Nate...
Copy !req
310. My mom...
Copy !req
311. The girls at school—
Copy !req
312. you wouldn't
take this from me...
Copy !req
313. Because if you do,
i swear i will take you down.
Copy !req
314. I'm not taking anything
from you, Blair. I was invited.
Copy !req
315. And as for taking me down,
I'd love to see you try.
Copy !req
316. When it comes to war,
Copy !req
317. the rule is never retreat,
never surrender.
Copy !req
318. But whoever said that
never met the new Serena.
Copy !req
319. Spotted—little Jenny Humphrey
Copy !req
320. off her high horse
Copy !req
321. and in high demand.
Copy !req
322. Did you look
at the resort samples?
Copy !req
323. Eleanor wants your opinion.
Oh, no, i didn't,
but I'll do that right now.
Copy !req
324. And we got in
the chambray you like.
Copy !req
325. We need your advice
on what patterns they go with.
Copy !req
326. to show me why this is
so important to her.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
327. Do you have a moment?
- Just.
Copy !req
328. I gave Jenny my word about
something this morning,
Copy !req
329. but I'm not sure if i can
keep it. I need your help.
What can i do for you?
Copy !req
330. Fire her.
Copy !req
331. I will do no such thing.
Copy !req
332. Fashion is
a young person's career,
Copy !req
333. and this is Jenny's moment.
She's only 15 years old.
Copy !req
334. The opportunity
can wait till she's ready.
Copy !req
335. Do you remember
the dreams you had
Copy !req
336. when you were 15,
Mr. Humphrey?
Copy !req
337. What if they all
started to come true?
Copy !req
338. Would you have told them
to wait?
Copy !req
339. Just make sure
they're up for anything.
Copy !req
340. This crowd can get particular.
Copy !req
341. Well, i know
you're not a geography whiz,
Copy !req
342. but you aware that Providence
is in Rhode Island?
- I don't have time to explain.
Copy !req
343. I've been invited
to the Dean's house tonight.
Copy !req
344. I have to get ready.
The Dean's house?
Copy !req
345. Uh-huh.
- Nice. What's your answer
to his question?
Copy !req
346. Yes?
No, no, no. "What person, real
or imagined, living or dead,
Copy !req
347. would you most like
to have dinner with?"
Copy !req
348. The rumor is, if your answer
impresses the Dean enough,
Copy !req
349. it's gets you on the short list
for early admission,
Copy !req
350. or so says Blair.
Oh, i should have
given my spot to her.
Copy !req
351. You got invited,
and she didn't?
Copy !req
352. You're lucky to be alive.
Copy !req
353. Yeah, well,
i won't be much longer
Copy !req
354. if i don't find
an answer fast.
- Steal Blair's.
Copy !req
355. She has no use for it anymore.
No. No, i can't,
no matter how good it is.
Copy !req
356. George sand.
I did not want to know that.
And how do you even know that?
Copy !req
357. Wait. Why does Blair
want to go to dinner
Copy !req
358. with some guy named George?
A hot girl named George.
She dressed like a man
Copy !req
359. and apparently is
the Dean's favorite writer.
Copy !req
360. And i know this
because talking with Blair
Copy !req
361. about how she's going to get
into Yale gets her really—
Copy !req
362. Chuck, no. You just told me two
things i never wanted to hear,
Copy !req
363. and one is gonna haunt me
for the rest of my life.
Copy !req
364. okay,
before we go any further...
Copy !req
365. Mm-hmm?
Copy !req
366. I have to know something.
Tell me the truth.
Copy !req
367. As a writer,
what do you think of márquez?
Copy !req
368. Márquez—
Copy !req
369. um, that's a tough one.
Copy !req
370. Okay, you're right.
It's too broad.
Copy !req
371. Let's just talk "cholera."
Copy !req
372. Oh. Uh...
Copy !req
373. Very painful.
Copy !req
374. Um, no, I'm not kidding.
Copy !req
375. I tried to read it, and i
couldn't get through it.
Copy !req
376. It's ridiculous.
- You're funny...
Copy !req
377. And sweet.
Copy !req
378. Not like most writers
i meet.
Copy !req
379. Hello?
Copy !req
380. hi. Jordan Steele?
Copy !req
381. Do i know you?
- No, i was told
by the other t.A.S
Copy !req
382. I apologize for hunting you down
now, but I'm—I'm desperate.
Copy !req
383. I need someone to read my work
and write a letter
Copy !req
384. before the weekend's out,
Copy !req
385. and i-i was, uh, i was hoping
you could help me.
Copy !req
386. Nate?
- Um, help you what?
Copy !req
387. Th-that's, uh,
that's Nate Archibald.
Copy !req
388. No, that's Dan Humphrey.
Copy !req
389. N—what?
Copy !req
390. Nate Archibald.
Copy !req
391. Dan Humphrey.
Copy !req
392. No, she was really into me,
and next thing i know,
Copy !req
393. not that you'd know.
No, what i do know is that you
didn't have to mess it up for me
Copy !req
394. right then and there.
Well, what should i have done,
watch you continue to screw up
Copy !req
395. my last chance
at making a connection
Copy !req
396. in the lit department
for pseudonymous sex?
No, that's not why i did it.
Copy !req
397. Look, Nate, I'm sure that
your life is complicated
Copy !req
398. with—with your family
and, um, i don't know, girls,
Copy !req
399. but you can't pretend
to be me.
Copy !req
400. Maybe it's okay to use
people like that in your world,
Copy !req
401. but it's not in mine.
Do ever get tired
of carrying around
Copy !req
402. that chip on your shoulder, Dan?
No wonder Serena dumped you.
Copy !req
403. Hello, Shirley.
I would like an invitation
Copy !req
404. to the private reception
at the Dean's house tonight,
Copy !req
405. and you're going
to get me one.
Copy !req
406. I'm sorry. I'm not in charge
of the Dean's private affairs.
Copy !req
407. I have it on good authority
that you are,
Copy !req
408. and i need to get back
in the good graces of the Dean.
Copy !req
409. Interviews are so stressful
for you students.
Check your e-mail.
Copy !req
410. 18th century.
Copy !req
411. Do you know how rare
a pair is from that era?
Copy !req
412. I had someone at christie's
put them on hold
Copy !req
413. just in case.
Copy !req
414. 1100 hillhouse Avenue.
Copy !req
415. Poor s. She should know
b.'S rules by now.
Copy !req
416. When someone leaves you
off the list,
Copy !req
417. don't get mad. Get in.
Thank you.
Copy !req
418. Well?
Copy !req
419. I'm impressed.
Copy !req
420. You're clearly valued here.
Copy !req
421. You handle yourself
very professionally.
Copy !req
422. Thank you.
Copy !req
423. But... i think you should
go back to school.
Copy !req
424. But you just said
you were impressed.
Copy !req
425. I don't...
Copy !req
426. I don't understand.
Copy !req
427. I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Copy !req
428. I just think
school's too important.
Copy !req
429. Okay.
Copy !req
430. If that's what you think,
that's what you think.
Copy !req
431. We made a deal,
and i agreed to it, so...
Copy !req
432. I have to say, i thought
there'd be some yelling.
Copy !req
433. You said you'd give me a day,
and you did.
Copy !req
434. Can, um,
can you at least take me
Copy !req
435. to complete one last errand
before we go home?
- Sure.
Copy !req
436. Thanks.
Copy !req
437. Trying to come up with an answer
for the Dean's parlor game?
Copy !req
438. You manipulated
your way in here?
Copy !req
439. I get what i want, Serena, just
like I'm gonna win tonight.
Copy !req
440. What's your answer?
Copy !req
441. Oh, no, let me guess.
Copy !req
442. Lauren Conrad.
Copy !req
443. Try George sand.
Copy !req
444. Wait. That's—
your answer? Not anymore.
Copy !req
445. If you're gonna cheat your way
in, then why should i play fair?
Copy !req
446. Oh, and i heard that the Dean
asks his question
Copy !req
447. in alphabetical order,
so since "v" comes before "w,"
Copy !req
448. it looks like the answer
is all mine.
Copy !req
449. how kind of you.
Copy !req
450. you gentlemen wanted
a Chuck bass party.
Copy !req
451. Your party has arrived,
straight from...
Copy !req
452. I can't tell you
where they're from actually,
Copy !req
453. but they're the best
money can buy.
Copy !req
454. Before you ask,
they don't speak English,
Copy !req
455. and they don't care.
Copy !req
456. By the way, that's not one
for each of you.
Copy !req
457. They do their best work
in threes.
Copy !req
458. Not bad, bass,
but you're not done.
Copy !req
459. The girls are all right,
but they're just girls.
Copy !req
460. You still need
to prove your loyalty.
Copy !req
461. We want Nate Archibald.
Copy !req
462. We know you're tight with him.
We know he's on campus.
Copy !req
463. Archibald's
not worth your time.
We think he is.
Copy !req
464. My family lost
our compound in Newport
Copy !req
465. because of his father.
Pull him in. Take him down.
Copy !req
466. You've got one hour.
Copy !req
467. If you want in,
you'll bring us Archibald.
Copy !req
468. Aiment-vous
les films du lelouch?
Oh, j'adore lelouch.
Copy !req
469. "Roman de gare" était un de
mes films préférés cet année.
Copy !req
470. Et toi?
Copy !req
471. Actually, it's "vous,"
as a sign of respect.
Copy !req
472. I'm sure that's why
you don't know it very well.
Copy !req
473. Blair Waldorf.
- Enchanté, mademoiselle.
Copy !req
474. You were
my father's favorite teacher.
Copy !req
475. - I've been looking for you.
Copy !req
476. You inspired
his expatriation to France.
Copy !req
477. I'd love for you
to hear about it. Shall we?
Oh, oui.
Copy !req
478. Where have you been?
Copy !req
479. I got tied up.
Hey, look. You wouldn't want
to leave tonight, would you?
Copy !req
480. I mean, i think i am completely
done with this place.
Copy !req
481. Did you strike out?
More like abruptly thrown out.
Copy !req
482. People here know who i am. They
know all the stuff about my dad.
Copy !req
483. but since i can't, why don't we
just meet up and get blazed?
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Copy !req
484. Hey, look. There's this place
off campus called Mike's bar.
Copy !req
485. I'll meet you there.
Copy !req
486. Stay put.
Copy !req
487. Perfect.
Copy !req
488. It's done. Let's go.
Copy !req
489. Although i love Henry viii,
i prefer sir Thomas more.
Copy !req
490. I think it's great
Copy !req
491. that pope Benedict
canonized him when he did.
Copy !req
492. Oh, thank you.
Don't you mean pope pius xi?
Copy !req
493. That's quite right, miss, uh...
Van Der Woodsen.
Copy !req
494. Van Der Woodsen, is it?
- Hi.
Copy !req
495. Most people don't know
their popes in succession.
- Oh.
Copy !req
496. Excuse me.
- (Man) Can i borrow you
for a minute?
Copy !req
497. How do you even know that?
Copy !req
498. You slept through history class
last year.
Copy !req
499. I love "the tudors."
Henry cavill is a total babe.
Copy !req
500. You look pretty calm
for someone
Copy !req
501. who no longer has the perfect
answer to the Dean's question.
Copy !req
502. You don't think
i came all the way here
Copy !req
503. without a backup answer,
do you?
Copy !req
504. Oh, and it's a real
crowd-pleaser. It's gonna kill.
Copy !req
505. Everyone. Everyone.
Copy !req
506. It's time for my favorite part
of the evening,
Copy !req
507. which has delightfully
become known over the years
Copy !req
508. as probatur.
Copy !req
509. That's Latin for "the quiz."
We will begin
with Mr. applebaum.
Copy !req
510. Whoa. Hey. Hey! Whoa!
Copy !req
511. Hey! Aah!
Copy !req
512. Hey! Aah!
Copy !req
513. And now
on to miss... Steinberg.
Copy !req
514. Your answer is Artemis.
Copy !req
515. Artemis is the goddess
of the forests and the hills.
Copy !req
516. As a freegan,
i believe in all living things
Copy !req
517. being equal to all people.
Copy !req
518. I'm so glad
they did this alphabetically,
Copy !req
519. 'cause now i get to see
the look on your face
Copy !req
520. the look on my face
will be of vindication.
Copy !req
521. and also screw the man
at the same time.
Copy !req
522. Very nice, miss Steinberg.
Copy !req
523. Uh, now on to
miss Van Der Woodsen.
Copy !req
524. The person you would most like
to have dinner with,
Copy !req
525. real or imagined,
living or dead is...
Copy !req
526. Pete fairman.
Copy !req
527. Uh...
Copy !req
528. I do not know this person.
Copy !req
529. Who is Pete fairman?
Copy !req
530. Um...
Copy !req
531. He, uh, he...
Copy !req
532. He's...
Copy !req
533. He's the man she killed.
Copy !req
534. I cannot
believe you did this.
Copy !req
535. Why? It's not
like you don't deserve it.
Copy !req
536. Miss Van Der Woodsen,
would you like to, uh, explain?
Copy !req
537. No, of course, Dean berube.
Copy !req
538. Um, Pete fairman was
a man that i knew.
Copy !req
539. Man/dealer.
Miss Waldorf, let her speak.
Copy !req
540. He died almost two years ago
when i was with him.
Copy !req
541. What happened was a tragedy,
Copy !req
542. and i am filled with regret
over it,
Copy !req
543. but i was not responsible—
were you responsible
for the sex tape?
Copy !req
544. Blair.
- It wasn't very sexy,
if you ask me.
Copy !req
545. Blair, that's enough. Let's go.
Dean berube, do you mind
Copy !req
546. if we, um, sort this out
privately, please?
- Take all the time you need.
Copy !req
547. My answer was George sand.
Love her, idolize, worship!
Copy !req
548. Get your hands off of me! Or are
you trying to kill me, too?
Copy !req
549. A guy died, and you use it
as part of a game.
Copy !req
550. Who does that?
- It isn't a game,
Copy !req
551. and this isn't just another
thing on a laundry list.
Copy !req
552. As far as my being here, you
take that up with the school.
Copy !req
553. You did not just do that.
Why did you think
you were invited?
Copy !req
554. You know on paper
you're not Yale material.
Copy !req
555. Could it be your face
on "page six,"
Copy !req
556. your name everywhere?
Face it, Serena.
Copy !req
557. Yale needs
to up their "q" rating,
Copy !req
558. just like
all the other schools,
Copy !req
559. and they're gonna use
girls like you to do it.
You shut up!
Copy !req
560. You shut up! Aah! No!
Copy !req
561. Blair!
Copy !req
562. And i really hate
those stupid headbands.
Aah! My headband!
Copy !req
563. Aah!
Copy !req
564. - You—aah!
Copy !req
565. No! You!
Copy !req
566. Oh! Aah!
Copy !req
567. Are you sure it's okay for us
to just come up here like this?
Copy !req
568. Yeah. The maid's expecting me.
Larissa?
Copy !req
569. Whose maid
is Larissa exactly?
Copy !req
570. You didn't say
where we were going.
Copy !req
571. Jenny.
Copy !req
572. Lily's not here.
I didn't think you'd mind.
Copy !req
573. Rufus.
Copy !req
574. Whoa.
Copy !req
575. Oh, um...
Copy !req
576. This is not my dress.
Copy !req
577. I was just trying it on...
For fun.
Copy !req
578. Sorry. When i called,
um, Larissa said
Copy !req
579. you were going out tonight,
and i could leave this with her.
Copy !req
580. I forgot to include it
in the garment bag
Copy !req
581. with your dress.
- Oh.
Copy !req
582. But clearly, um,
Copy !req
583. i don't even think
you need it.
Copy !req
584. Uh, this dress
looks so great on you.
Copy !req
585. The only thing wrong
is the shoes.
Copy !req
586. I can totally go pick you out
a different pair if you want.
Copy !req
587. Oh, upstairs,
third door on the left.
Copy !req
588. Okay.
Copy !req
589. How have you been?
Copy !req
590. Fine.
Sorry for the intrusion.
Copy !req
591. Oh. It's no bother.
I'm always happy to see you.
Copy !req
592. Uh...
The house seems quiet.
Copy !req
593. Well, Bart is out of town,
Copy !req
594. Serena and Charles are
on college visits,
Copy !req
595. and Eric has a new friend,
so i hear.
Copy !req
596. Well, the place looks amazing,
as do you.
Copy !req
597. It's quite a dress.
Copy !req
598. Of course it is.
Your daughter made it.
Copy !req
599. You're so lucky
Copy !req
600. to have a daughter that's this
good at what she wants to do
Copy !req
601. so early in her life.
Copy !req
602. It's a gift.
Copy !req
603. You had one, too,
if i remember correctly.
Copy !req
604. Here you go. The perfect pair
of Jimmy choos.
Copy !req
605. Mm. I will lend these to Serena
when she wears the dress.
- Okay.
Copy !req
606. Jenny, we should get going.
Okay. See you.
Copy !req
607. Bye.
Copy !req
608. By the way,
Copy !req
609. no matter what you wear,
Copy !req
610. you look fantastic.
Copy !req
611. Hey, man. Where are you?
I've been sitting here forever.
Copy !req
612. Please, just call me back.
Copy !req
613. A round of shots, Mike.
(Man) Coming right up, guys.
Copy !req
614. We just taught Nate Archibald
a lesson,
Copy !req
615. and he'll never
come back to Yale.
Yeah, Archibald's such a loser.
Copy !req
616. Excuse me.
Did you say "Nate Archibald"?
Copy !req
617. Yeah, we just tied that chump
to the statue in the gazebo.
Copy !req
618. It's priceless.
I hope
he freezes his ass off.
Copy !req
619. Well, you got the wrong guy.
Copy !req
620. I'm Nate Archibald,
and i look forward
Copy !req
621. to coming here next year
and kicking your ass.
Copy !req
622. In fact, why wait?
Copy !req
623. Okay, it can wait.
(Man) Go! Get him!
Copy !req
624. Get him!
Copy !req
625. Hey, excuse me.
Excuse me. Uh, hi.
Copy !req
626. Um, i know this is a strange
request, but could you untie me?
Copy !req
627. Sir. Hey. Yeah.
Hey. Come on. Hey. Excuse me.
Copy !req
628. Would you be so kind
as to, uh...
Copy !req
629. Dan?
Copy !req
630. I hope you at least bought
the statue a drink first.
Copy !req
631. No, you know, i don't know
if i want you to help me.
Copy !req
632. Well, you might, if you knew
that the only reason you're here
Copy !req
633. Yeah, but i have a feeling
someone else did for you.
Copy !req
634. Why would anyone want to hurt,
uh, Mr. perfect Nate Archibald?
Copy !req
635. Apparently my legacy at Yale
Copy !req
636. involves a lot of people
hating my father's guts.
Copy !req
637. It turns out he killed
a few trust funds around here.
Copy !req
638. By the way,
this knot is ridiculous.
Yeah, i know.
Copy !req
639. Could you, uh, could you
try a little faster?
Copy !req
640. 'Cause i see something
approaching that looks female.
Copy !req
641. I'm not entirely proud
of my choice of boxers.
Copy !req
642. You two again?
Copy !req
643. Yeah.
- Hi.
Copy !req
644. Is this
performance art piece
Copy !req
645. your new plan
to get my attention?
Copy !req
646. Uh, w-would—
would it work if it was?
Copy !req
647. Move over.
My mom was in the Navy.
Copy !req
648. Oh, my god.
Copy !req
649. I can't do it anymore,
Blair.
Copy !req
650. That's because
you almost lost.
Copy !req
651. I had you pinned with that
chicken wing. Don't deny it.
Copy !req
652. I don't mean this.
I mean everything—
Copy !req
653. the wars, the betrayal,
Copy !req
654. the watching out
for every possible land mine.
Copy !req
655. It's exhausting.
Copy !req
656. I'm sick of it, too.
Copy !req
657. I'm sick of always
looking like darth vader
Copy !req
658. next to sunshine Barbie.
Copy !req
659. Life's too short.
Copy !req
660. You make it feel so long.
Copy !req
661. Well, if that's
how we really feel,
Copy !req
662. may—maybe we shouldn't
be friends.
Copy !req
663. We were probably gonna
grow apart in college anyway,
Copy !req
664. so we might as well
just start now, right?
Copy !req
665. Fine by me.
Copy !req
666. You live your life.
I'll live mine.
Copy !req
667. Sounds great.
Copy !req
668. I agree.
Copy !req
669. From comrades to combat,
we thought we'd seen it all,
Copy !req
670. but we've never seen this—
Copy !req
671. Serena and Blair
calling a cease-fire.
Copy !req
672. After so much scorched earth,
can either side claim victory?
Copy !req
673. Why do i feel like you're gonna
tell me the cat died?
No, no. It's nothing bad.
Copy !req
674. Uh, when i was your age, all i
wanted was to be a musician,
Copy !req
675. but my parents didn't think
it was a good idea,
Copy !req
676. and it made for some
pretty uncomfortable years.
Copy !req
677. And last night,
i realized that—
Copy !req
678. that we don't have
to do things that way.
I don't understand.
Copy !req
679. Your dad asked me to bring over
all my stuff on homeschooling.
Copy !req
680. Aah!
- After Christmas,
we can reevaluate.
Copy !req
681. Aah!
And if everything works out,
maybe you'll apply
Copy !req
682. to the professional children's
school for next semester.
Like Vera wang. Aah!
Copy !req
683. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
- Aw!
Copy !req
684. I won't let you down.
I promise.
- I know you won't.
Copy !req
685. What are you doing here,
Copy !req
686. making sure the Dean knows
it's all my fault?
Copy !req
687. No. I came to tell him
that Yale is your dream,
Copy !req
688. and you deserve
to go here more than i do.
Copy !req
689. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
690. Doing the same thing
for you.
Copy !req
691. I was up all night
thinking about
Copy !req
692. the first time we came here
together when we were 9.
Copy !req
693. Your dad took us
to that harvard/yale game,
Copy !req
694. and you tackled
senator schumer's daughter
Copy !req
695. for wearing
a Harvard sweatshirt.
Copy !req
696. I bet those grass stains
never came out.
Copy !req
697. I don't want
to not know you.
Copy !req
698. I can't not know you.
Copy !req
699. Maybe we just had that fight
Copy !req
700. because the reality
of being separated next year
Copy !req
701. is just too scary
to think about.
Copy !req
702. So?
Copy !req
703. Wait here for me.
Copy !req
704. We'll ride home together.
Copy !req
705. Okay.
Copy !req
706. So you think you can, uh,
maybe help him out a bit?
Copy !req
707. Well,
i can't promise anything,
Copy !req
708. but I'm pretty sure i can get
someone in the department...
Ooh!
Copy !req
709. To read these
and write you a recommendation.
Copy !req
710. Yes. Thank you so much, really.
It's so nice to know
Copy !req
711. that my dream of going to Yale
isn't dead.
Copy !req
712. I just needed to be
someone else for a while.
Copy !req
713. Yeah, well,
next time you're up here,
Copy !req
714. why don't you
just be yourself?
- Okay.
Copy !req
715. Yeah.
Copy !req
716. I would have liked you
whatever your name was.
Copy !req
717. Bye, Dan.
Copy !req
718. Bye. You know what?
Copy !req
719. You—you do Dan Humphrey
better than Dan Humphrey.
- Really?
Copy !req
720. That, uh, that thousand yard
squint—can i steal that?
Well, thank you.
Copy !req
721. (Man) Here he is.
Copy !req
722. It looks like
someone messed up last night.
Copy !req
723. Oh, I'm not coming here
next fall.
Copy !req
724. Those girls i brought
to the party last night?
Copy !req
725. They witnessed some
pretty incriminating acts
Copy !req
726. with their lipstick cameras.
Copy !req
727. You may be
the future leaders of America.
Copy !req
728. You're now under the control
of Chuck bass. I own you.
Copy !req
729. Keep it.
Copy !req
730. I've got plenty.
Copy !req
731. Missed you last night.
Copy !req
732. Did you?
Copy !req
733. Or was it your plan all along
just to get me out of the way?
Copy !req
734. What?
- I know what you did.
Copy !req
735. You should be glad.
Those guys were coming for you.
Copy !req
736. I saved your ass.
You didn't have
to send them after Dan.
Copy !req
737. Two birds, one stone.
Seemed good to me.
Copy !req
738. Besides, since when do you care
about humdrum Humphrey anyway?
Copy !req
739. So the Dean seemed inscrutable
to you, too?
I don't think he even blinked.
Copy !req
740. Well, since we're probably
both gonna end up at hunter
Copy !req
741. after what happened, i think we
ought to say a proper good-bye.
Copy !req
742. Hello?
Serena, Dean berube.
Copy !req
743. Oh, hello, sir.
Copy !req
744. I just thought you should know
Copy !req
745. that despite events
at last night's reception,
Copy !req
746. i-i remain most impressed
with you,
Copy !req
747. and come time for
early acceptances in December,
Copy !req
748. I'd check that list to see
if your name was on it.
Copy !req
749. Okay, but what about Blair?
Well,
like all the other students
Copy !req
750. with Blair's qualifications,
Copy !req
751. she will learn her fate
in the spring.
Copy !req
752. If it's all right with you, I'd
like to issue a press release
Copy !req
753. that you came up
to visit our glorious campus.
Copy !req
754. I'm gonna have
to call you back.
Copy !req
755. I won't accept.
I can't, like this.
Copy !req
756. What? No, you have to.
Copy !req
757. It doesn't matter
how you got it or why.
Copy !req
758. It's an opportunity.
Copy !req
759. No, you're my best friend.
What's mine is yours.
Copy !req
760. You can't share this.
Copy !req
761. We'll find a way...
Copy !req
762. Together.
Copy !req
763. Dreams—everybody has them—
Copy !req
764. some good, some bad...
Copy !req
765. Some you wish
you could forget...
Copy !req
766. Sometimes you realize
you've outgrown them...
Copy !req
767. Sometimes you feel like
they're finally coming true...
Copy !req
768. And some of us
Copy !req
769. just have nightmares.
Copy !req
770. But no matter what you dream,
Copy !req
771. when morning comes,
reality intrudes
Copy !req
772. and the dream begins
to slip away.
Copy !req
773. Dream a little dream of me.
Copy !req
774. X.O.X.O., gossip girl.
