1. It was so much easier
when it was just about
Copy !req
2. where we sat on the met steps.
It's time for a new challenge
for both of us.
Copy !req
3. My father turned his first
profit by the time he was 22.
Copy !req
4. I hope to do it
by the time I'm 21.
And how can you be so sure?
Copy !req
5. Because you believe in me.
You were the one
that needed to kiss her again,
Copy !req
6. to realize for yourself that
your feelings for her are real.
Copy !req
7. Vanessa, i love you.
Copy !req
8. Oh, that's not really
the reaction i was hoping for.
Copy !req
9. It's not easy being queen.
Sounds like kind of a yawn.
Copy !req
10. Yes, compared to being
an international drug dealer.
Copy !req
11. i tried to tell you
i loved you.
- You loved me?
Copy !req
12. I hope I'm not interrupting.
Tripp is divorcing Maureen.
We're going away together.
Copy !req
13. It is a huge mistake.
I love Tripp, and I'd do
anything to make him happy.
Copy !req
14. Where'd you get that?
The more relevant question
is what your stepfather will say
Copy !req
15. Lily?
- Charles.
Copy !req
16. His beloved wife
died giving birth to me.
Copy !req
17. And who am i?
Copy !req
18. That's a secret
I'll never tell.
Copy !req
19. You know you love me.
Copy !req
20. X.O.X.O., gossip girl.
Copy !req
21. "It was the best of times.
Copy !req
22. It was the worst of times."
Seems dickens knew something
Copy !req
23. about life
on the Upper East Side,
Copy !req
24. where the only thing
you can count on
Copy !req
25. is that time changes
everything.
Copy !req
26. Word has it s. Gave up politics
to focus on issues
Copy !req
27. closer to her heart.
I can't believe Nate's
finally coming home tomorrow.
Copy !req
28. I feel the same way
about Dorota's return.
Copy !req
29. I never should have agreed
Copy !req
30. to let her spend the holidays
with Vanya.
Did i tell you that he texts me
Copy !req
31. every night before he goes
to sleep? It's so sweet.
Copy !req
32. Sexting is not sweet.
Copy !req
33. It's off-limits
until you're in a relationship.
Copy !req
34. You haven't
even been on a date.
Copy !req
35. Well, you'll be happy to know
he asked me to go to a dinner
Copy !req
36. I'm serious, s. I'm all for you
trying this thing with Nate,
Copy !req
37. but if you want it
to become real,
Copy !req
38. Damien Dalgaard!
Copy !req
39. Hey!
- Hey! Oh, my gosh!
Copy !req
40. How are ya?
Good. I thought you were gonna
become a Belgian prince
Copy !req
41. or something
after boarding school.
Copy !req
42. My father took
the ambassador post. Wow.
Copy !req
43. You look even more fantastic
than you did in school.
Copy !req
44. Oh, that was
not a very good time for me.
That's not true.
Copy !req
45. I seem to remember
some fun Spanish classes.
Copy !req
46. Really? More like me crying
over conjugations
Copy !req
47. while you got straight a's
and won all the athletic awards.
Copy !req
48. Okay.
- Good to see you.
Copy !req
49. Yeah, you, too.
Hey, are you going
to the French ambassador dinner
Copy !req
50. tomorrow night?
- I am.
Copy !req
51. Then I'll see you there.
See you there.
Copy !req
52. you know how torturous it is
Copy !req
53. for me to find shiny things
that aren't intended for me.
It's just a worthless trinket
Copy !req
54. about someone who wears
your father around her neck?
Copy !req
55. One of his concubines had
his name tattooed on her ass.
Copy !req
56. I have more important things
to do than search
Copy !req
57. for another member of
the female Bart bass fan club.
Copy !req
58. Like helping me achieve
Copy !req
59. the college experience
i so greatly deserve?
Copy !req
60. I assume you're referring
to my lunch
Copy !req
61. to discuss
Parisian hotel possibilities
Copy !req
62. with Henri Duris.
Copy !req
63. Who my research
also tells me is
Copy !req
64. the rumored president
of table élitaire.
Copy !req
65. Just imagining my life
as a member
Copy !req
66. of the most exclusive
secret society makes me tingle.
Copy !req
67. Well, while i find that
incredibly arousing,
Copy !req
68. you know i can't promise
anything but an introduction.
Copy !req
69. All i need to know is
Copy !req
70. that the most persuasive
and powerful man I've ever met
Copy !req
71. is on my side.
Copy !req
72. so how was your mom's?
Copy !req
73. I'm sure your dad
called every day.
Copy !req
74. Well, he v-chatted
for present opening.
Copy !req
75. You didn't want to go
to Telluride with him, huh?
Copy !req
76. I can't say i blame you.
Copy !req
77. I couldn't stand
for him to miss out.
Copy !req
78. Hi.
Copy !req
79. Welcome home.
- Damien, hi.
Copy !req
80. Hey.
- Lily, you remember Damien,
right?
Copy !req
81. Oh, yes. Yes. Hello.
Mrs. Humphrey, how are you?
Copy !req
82. And, uh, this is for you.
Copy !req
83. Thank you.
- Mm.
Copy !req
84. Um, thank you, Lily,
for helping me unpack,
Copy !req
85. but i think I'm good now.
Copy !req
86. Um, Jenny?
Copy !req
87. Um, a word, please?
Copy !req
88. So your father and i
haven't really discussed
Copy !req
89. you having boys
alone in your room.
Copy !req
90. Maybe just keep
the door open?
Copy !req
91. Lily, if we wanted to have sex,
we'd just go to a hotel.
Copy !req
92. And seriously,
it's not like that with us.
Copy !req
93. Oh, then what is it like?
Copy !req
94. I mean, he seems happy
to see you.
Copy !req
95. when your father was
coming back?
Copy !req
96. Larissa accidentally lost
the itinerary.
Copy !req
97. I think he said today,
but just call him and ask.
Copy !req
98. So cookies. Let me guess.
Copy !req
99. I have a puzzle
that needs solving.
Copy !req
100. I know how much you Humphreys
like games.
Copy !req
101. It's my work, all right.
Do you remember who you sold
this one to?
Copy !req
102. The picture's right there—
Bart bass.
Copy !req
103. Do you know
who he bought it for?
Copy !req
104. Mr. bass kept the recipients
of his purchases private.
Copy !req
105. But a woman did bring this one
Copy !req
106. to repair the hinge
about a month ago.
Copy !req
107. The woman—
Copy !req
108. early 40s, brown hair,
brown eyes?
Copy !req
109. Look,
i would be very grateful
Copy !req
110. if you could share any other
information you may have.
Copy !req
111. I'm sorry.
Client confidentiality.
Copy !req
112. My father was
the original client.
Copy !req
113. Please, this is
all i have left of him.
Copy !req
114. Elizabeth Fisher.
Copy !req
115. She paid in cash.
Copy !req
116. But she had it delivered.
Copy !req
117. Thank you.
Copy !req
118. With enough time, we all find
what we're looking for...
Copy !req
119. Even if it was there all along.
Copy !req
120. Nate!
Copy !req
121. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
122. Hey.
- Oh, my gosh.
Copy !req
123. You weren't supposed to be here
until tomorrow.
Copy !req
124. I know. My grandfather got sick
of watching me text you,
Copy !req
125. Well, i should go.
Copy !req
126. I left the driver downstairs
waiting with the bags,
Copy !req
127. so i could surprise you,
but tomorrow, though, right?
Yes, our first official date.
Copy !req
128. - I've been thinking,
a-and i really think
Copy !req
129. that we should try
to take this slow.
Copy !req
130. Yeah. Yeah, i was thinking
the same thing.
Copy !req
131. Okay.
Copy !req
132. And when time slows,
Copy !req
133. and suddenly
every moment counts,
Copy !req
134. all you want is for this time
to last forever.
Copy !req
135. hey.
Copy !req
136. What? I'm not that late.
Oh, no. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, man.
Copy !req
137. No, not exactly. But she does
spend a lot of time here.
Copy !req
138. I take it that means
you still haven't talked to her.
Copy !req
139. Or gotten a text or seen her.
Copy !req
140. It's my fault.
I moved too fast, you know?
Copy !req
141. I read, like,
five self-help blogs
Copy !req
142. about how to turn friends
into lovers.
Copy !req
143. Yes, they use that word. I was
a little down at my mom's place.
Copy !req
144. Well, hey, man, I'm sorry.
You know, they say that you
should take things more slowly
Copy !req
145. with a friend than you do
with someone you just met.
Copy !req
146. I'll—I'll send you the link.
You might want to read it
Copy !req
147. before you start this thing
with Serena.
Copy !req
148. Hey.
Copy !req
149. Oh.
Copy !req
150. Looks like my advice went
the way of the clog.
Copy !req
151. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
152. The clog?
Copy !req
153. An ugly wooden shoe
Copy !req
154. that tried to make a statement,
then disappeared—
Copy !req
155. just like your resolve
to take things slow with Nate.
Copy !req
156. I'm just gonna go with it. You
know, whatever happens, happens.
Copy !req
157. All right, well, knowing Serena,
what'll probably happen is
Copy !req
158. she'll get swept up
in the romance of things,
Copy !req
159. and she's not gonna want to talk
about any of that stuff ever.
Copy !req
160. Really.
- Nah, look, it's cool.
Copy !req
161. I've known Serena
since i was a little kid.
Copy !req
162. And we've already...
You know, years ago.
I know. Trust me.
Copy !req
163. Now that I'm with Chuck,
i can see that Nate and i
Copy !req
164. were only perfect on paper.
But...
Copy !req
165. You and Nate can finally be more
than just an affair to remember.
Copy !req
166. Which is why we didn't want
to wait for it to start.
Copy !req
167. And if you want to be able
to make things work,
Copy !req
168. you're gonna have to be able
to come up for air,
Copy !req
169. and could never have.
It's like a diet.
Copy !req
170. After years of starvation,
Copy !req
171. you can't just let him
gorge on sundaes.
Copy !req
172. and Nate and i don't need
to play games.
Copy !req
173. Everyone needs to play games.
Copy !req
174. Look, you've already failed
to come out of the gate
Copy !req
175. with any restraint or control.
Now all you can do is
Copy !req
176. Mm-hmm. Just wait till
he starts passing on dessert.
Copy !req
177. So the ambassador's daughter's
gonna be at this dinner?
Copy !req
178. Yeah, but her father's got her
under 24-hour surveillance,
Copy !req
179. which means her guards
will be on her at all times.
Copy !req
180. Well, i can meet her
in the ladies' room.
Copy !req
181. I bet they don't follow her
in there.
Copy !req
182. which means there's security
everywhere.
Copy !req
183. All bags will be searched.
Copy !req
184. The problem is not getting
the package to violette,
Copy !req
185. it's getting the package in
in the first place.
Copy !req
186. I could wear it.
Copy !req
187. I can make this. Only in mine,
the paillettes won't be empty.
Copy !req
188. You put the pills...
Copy !req
189. In the jacket?
Copy !req
190. Yeah,
i wear it to the dinner,
Copy !req
191. check it and then violette and i
switch coat check tags.
Copy !req
192. I take her coat...
Copy !req
193. And she'll leave with yours.
Copy !req
194. It's not bad.
Copy !req
195. Not bad?
Copy !req
196. Come on. It's brilliant!
Copy !req
197. Lily?
- Oh, hello, Daniel.
Copy !req
198. He was supposed to be back
this morning.
Copy !req
199. I can't imagine he'd come here
before going to see you.
Well, i just figured
Copy !req
200. since he hadn't seen you
over the holidays...
Copy !req
201. You know how sentimental he is.
Copy !req
202. Yeah. Dad?
Copy !req
203. Well, you know what?
Copy !req
204. Maybe he decided to stay
and ski another day.
Copy !req
205. Uh, yeah, i don't—i don't think
that's what happened.
Copy !req
206. Well, i should go.
If you see him,
Copy !req
207. tell him i stopped by.
- Okay.
Copy !req
208. Vronsky, where are you?
Copy !req
209. Anna Karenina texted you
an hour ago.
Copy !req
210. She wants to celebrate.
Look, I'm sorry,
but Anna will have to wait.
Copy !req
211. I'm about to walk
into a meeting.
With monsieur Duris?
Copy !req
212. Are you in the hospital?
Copy !req
213. Since i know
that you're alive,
Copy !req
214. there could be
no other possible reason
Copy !req
215. Monsieur Duris
will be attending
Copy !req
216. the dinner for the French
ambassador tomorrow night.
Oh, thank god.
Copy !req
217. You practically gave me
a heart attack.
Copy !req
218. Why didn't you mention this
earlier?
Copy !req
219. I just assumed you'd rather not
cross paths with Carla Bruni.
Copy !req
220. Well, in times of crisis,
Copy !req
221. sacrifices must be made.
Copy !req
222. Why did you miss lunch?
Copy !req
223. I'm trying to meet someone
whose schedule is
Copy !req
224. even more unpredictable
than mine.
Copy !req
225. I'll see you tonight.
Copy !req
226. I've been waiting here
for four hours.
Copy !req
227. Has Elizabeth Fisher
still not returned?
Copy !req
228. She did return, Mr. bass.
Then why did she not get
my message
Copy !req
229. that i was waiting for her
in the bar?
- She did.
Copy !req
230. She checked out of the hotel
immediately afterwards.
Copy !req
231. Whoa! Hey, Blair.
Copy !req
232. It's Anna Karenina. You never
read it. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
233. I never do.
Copy !req
234. Rufus.
Copy !req
235. Hi.
Copy !req
236. What are you doing
standing out here?
Copy !req
237. Making a decision.
Copy !req
238. How are you doing?
Did you end up going away?
Copy !req
239. I just got back this morning.
And are you back for good?
Copy !req
240. That's what I'm deciding.
Copy !req
241. I came over to talk to Lily,
but now I'm not sure.
Copy !req
242. I want to give her a chance
to explain.
Copy !req
243. But still, there's a part of me
that doesn't want to know.
Copy !req
244. Cup of coffee?
Copy !req
245. It's freezing out here.
Copy !req
246. Coffee actually sounds
really good.
Copy !req
247. Okay. Thank you.
Copy !req
248. Thank you.
Copy !req
249. Mm.
Copy !req
250. Hey.
Copy !req
251. Hey. I was just about
to call you.
Copy !req
252. Well,
now you don't have to.
Copy !req
253. Or we don't have
to talk at all.
Copy !req
254. Look, i, um,
Copy !req
255. i was just thinking that
maybe it might make sense
Copy !req
256. if i go to that dinner
tomorrow night alone.
Copy !req
257. I don't understand.
Did i do something wrong?
Copy !req
258. No. No, not at all. I just...
Copy !req
259. You know, we said we didn't want
to rush into things.
Copy !req
260. Yeah, but that was
before we saw each other.
Copy !req
261. I know. I know.
Copy !req
262. But I'm just trying
to stick to the plan here.
Copy !req
263. Okay, so the plan went
from having sex
Copy !req
264. on Eleanor Waldorf's floor
to not seeing each other?
Copy !req
265. Just because we lost track
for a minute there
Copy !req
266. doesn't mean we should
just forget about it.
Copy !req
267. I mean, we already
saw each other today.
Copy !req
268. We can wait
a couple more days, right?
You're right, Nate.
Copy !req
269. Uh, the last thing i would want
to do is rush into something.
Copy !req
270. no.
Copy !req
271. Serena, come on.
Copy !req
272. Hello?
Copy !req
273. Hey, Damien.
Copy !req
274. Serena. Don't tell me you need
help with your Spanish homework.
Copy !req
275. No, French this time.
Please tell me
Copy !req
276. you don't have a date
to the ambassador's dinner.
Copy !req
277. Are you asking me
if i want to go with you?
Copy !req
278. Of course i do.
Copy !req
279. Great. I'm staying
at the Waldorfs',
Copy !req
280. so I'll text you the address.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Copy !req
281. Heure, hora, laat—
Copy !req
282. no matter what language
you say it in,
Copy !req
283. looks like s.
Just started the clock
Copy !req
284. on a ticking time bomb.
Copy !req
285. i thought you'd be at school
by now.
Copy !req
286. I thought you lived
Copy !req
287. in the Upper East Side
with your wife.
- Dan.
Copy !req
288. Lily came by yesterday
looking for you.
Copy !req
289. Uh, what's—what's going on?
Copy !req
290. Lily and i had a fight.
It's complicated.
Copy !req
291. Israeli-palestinian complicated
by the looks of it.
Copy !req
292. Is this—is this why
you shipped Jenny and me
Copy !req
293. off to mom's for Christmas?
This was your mother's year.
Copy !req
294. And it wasn't one of those
"parent trap" situations
Copy !req
295. that you and Jenny
could swoop in on.
Copy !req
296. Lily and i need time
to figure this out.
And, um, and you're doing that
Copy !req
297. by not telling her
where you are?
It's not the best strategy,
Copy !req
298. but until i actually talk
to her, at least i can
Copy !req
299. what you think
she might tell you?
Copy !req
300. You know, I'm not willing
to explain myself, Dan.
Copy !req
301. All right.
Copy !req
302. Fine. Fine. You can make
your own damn waffles.
Copy !req
303. Come on, Dan.
Copy !req
304. Listen, you're—you're the one
who's always saying
Copy !req
305. to be honest
and talk about things,
Copy !req
306. so i really hope you're not
gonna let your marriage die
Copy !req
307. because you're scared
to take your own advice.
Copy !req
308. Ta-da!
Copy !req
309. All the girls are gonna want
to wear pharmaceuticals.
Copy !req
310. It's perfect.
Copy !req
311. I'm impressed.
Copy !req
312. Thanks. I'm really excited
about tonight.
Copy !req
313. Yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
314. Me, too.
Copy !req
315. Unfortunately, we're gonna have
to do our little dinner
Copy !req
316. some other time.
Copy !req
317. What? I... thought
we were doing this together.
Copy !req
318. It's my plan.
Copy !req
319. Yeah.
Copy !req
320. I know.
And—and i thank you.
Copy !req
321. It's just that, uh,
anyone can check the jacket.
Copy !req
322. Uh...
Copy !req
323. I'm going with someone else—
Copy !req
324. Serena, actually.
Copy !req
325. We're old friends
from boarding school.
Copy !req
326. Serena's with Nate now.
Copy !req
327. I don't know about that.
Copy !req
328. She's the one who called
and asked me, so...
Copy !req
329. Well, you know she's changed
since boarding school,
Copy !req
330. and, uh, there's—there's no way
she's gonna go to a state dinner
Copy !req
331. wearing a jacket
filled with pills.
Copy !req
332. I probably won't tell her
about that then.
Copy !req
333. Well, then maybe i will.
Copy !req
334. See, if you were to do that,
Copy !req
335. then i would have to tell her
how you know, obviously.
Copy !req
336. So...
Copy !req
337. Anyway,
Copy !req
338. um,
Copy !req
339. don't worry.
You'll still get your cut.
Copy !req
340. What's going on?
Copy !req
341. Why aren't you dressed?
Look, Blair, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
342. But i won't be able to join you
for dîner ce soir.
Copy !req
343. Abandoning me in a fur hat
is one thing,
Copy !req
344. but you can't do this.
You already missed the lunch.
Copy !req
345. You know my dreams are dead
Copy !req
346. that you'd be there, okay?
Copy !req
347. I'm sure you'll find a way
to make an impression.
This is about her, isn't it?
Copy !req
348. The floozy
from your father's grave
Copy !req
349. First you lie to me
about looking for her,
Copy !req
350. and now you're going
to sacrifice
Copy !req
351. my table élitaire charter to go
look for some random woman.
Copy !req
352. You obviously read the file,
so you know she's not random.
Copy !req
353. She knew
my mother's favorite flowers,
Copy !req
354. she had a picture of my father
in her jewelry and she knew me.
Copy !req
355. And clearly has no interest
in being found by you.
Copy !req
356. You've been looking for weeks,
and nothing.
Copy !req
357. but some things are
more important
Copy !req
358. than your social-climbing
agenda.
Copy !req
359. His name's Damien.
Copy !req
360. Oh, hey, Jenny.
Copy !req
361. He's the son
of the Belgian ambassador,
Copy !req
362. and I'm pretty sure they
hooked up at boarding school.
Copy !req
363. I'm guessing
Serena didn't tell you
Copy !req
364. she was coming with him, huh?
No. No, she didn't.
Why are you here?
Copy !req
365. I figured you've come to
my rescue enough times.
Copy !req
366. Let me help you for once.
Copy !req
367. Hi. May i take your coat?
Copy !req
368. You came with him?
You came with her?
Copy !req
369. I think you're at the wrong
place. Prom is down the street.
Copy !req
370. Oh, that's fine.
Copy !req
371. I'll just let you get back
to your euro-fawning.
Copy !req
372. Jenny, um...
Copy !req
373. What are you doing here?
Just finishing what i started.
Copy !req
374. Serena, i love your jacket.
It's so beautiful.
Copy !req
375. Yeah, actually,
let me help you with that.
Copy !req
376. No, it's okay.
I'm gonna keep it on.
Copy !req
377. It's so pretty,
and it was a gift from you.
Copy !req
378. So sweet of you. Come on.
Copy !req
379. So much for diplomacy.
Copy !req
380. Let the international games
begin.
Copy !req
381. Mesdames et messieurs,
Copy !req
382. je vous présenter
Copy !req
383. l'ambassadeur de France
et sa fille violette.
Copy !req
384. (Man) Salut. Salut.
Copy !req
385. Serena. And... not Nate.
Copy !req
386. Hi. I'm Blair.
Copy !req
387. Damien. A pleasure.
Copy !req
388. Um, the, uh, French ambassador's
daughter's
Copy !req
389. an old friend of mine.
I'm gonna let you guys...
- Mm.
Copy !req
390. Excuse me.
Copy !req
391. I see you took my advice.
Copy !req
392. It's good to keep Nate
on his toes.
Copy !req
393. And nice choice
of competition.
Copy !req
394. Thank you.
Copy !req
395. Your idea's completely juvenile,
but it seems to be working.
Copy !req
396. I'm Jenny. Nice to meet you.
Thank you so much.
Copy !req
397. I still can't believe
he came with Jenny, though.
Copy !req
398. If i know Jenny,
she came with him.
Copy !req
399. But trust me. This is
exactly what you wanted.
Copy !req
400. Games will be played,
sexual innuendo ensues.
Copy !req
401. And in the end, Nate will be
right where you wanted him.
Copy !req
402. My problems are not nearly
so easily resolved.
Copy !req
403. Even monsieur Duris' entourage
Copy !req
404. is perfection in bone structure
and styling.
Copy !req
405. While without
a formal introduction,
Copy !req
406. Anyone who meets you can see
you're an elitist snob
Copy !req
407. who's perfect to run
a secret society.
Copy !req
408. Bonne chance.
- Ah! Merci.
Copy !req
409. Ah.
Copy !req
410. On a un petit soucis,
mais je t'assure
Copy !req
411. que tu l'auras au prix
demandé à la fin de la soirée.
Copy !req
412. Tu as intérêt, sinon,
Copy !req
413. j'appellerai le flic
pour cette garce qui le porte.
Copy !req
414. Uh, hi. I'm Jenny.
Copy !req
415. Wow.
Copy !req
416. French people
really are rude.
Copy !req
417. She's usually
a much happier customer.
Copy !req
418. it wasn't terribly difficult to
get Serena out of her clothes.
Copy !req
419. That jacket is not leaving this
party on Serena Van Der Woodsen.
Copy !req
420. Serena, i don't know why
you're here with that guy.
Copy !req
421. I mean, if you're trying
to make me jealous,
Copy !req
422. there's no reason to. I want to
be here with you. I invited you.
Copy !req
423. But then you uninvited me.
Copy !req
424. But you're right. Taking it slow
was the right decision.
Copy !req
425. Hi. Damien.
Copy !req
426. Nate Archibald.
Copy !req
427. Serena, let me
introduce you to some people.
Copy !req
428. Thanks
for keeping my date company.
Copy !req
429. So what's the deal with Nate,
Copy !req
430. the guy who seemed like
he wanted to cut my head off?
Copy !req
431. Is he an ex-boyfriend
or something?
Copy !req
432. Oh, possibly a new one.
Honestly, that's the reason
Copy !req
433. i asked you to bring me
here tonight. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
434. No, don't be.
The old make-him-jealous-
Copy !req
435. by-bringing-the-titled-European
ploy.
- Yep.
Copy !req
436. Well, I'm flattered you thought
i was worthy of the task.
Copy !req
437. Well, thank you
for understanding.
Copy !req
438. If you really want to make him
jealous, though,
Copy !req
439. i suggest we commit fully,
you know?
Copy !req
440. Let me take off this jacket.
Copy !req
441. No, Damien. I'm sorry.
I-i can't do this.
Copy !req
442. This was a huge mistake
already. I...
Copy !req
443. No, no, no.
We can make it better.
Copy !req
444. No strings attached.
Copy !req
445. Damien, i-i don't like you
like that.
Copy !req
446. I mean it.
Copy !req
447. Hey.
Copy !req
448. Are you serious? What happened
to the Serena that i wanted
Copy !req
449. throughout boarding school?
I've changed,
and it's a good thing.
Copy !req
450. Serena.
Copy !req
451. I'm sorry.
That—that wasn't...
Copy !req
452. Monsieur Duris?
Copy !req
453. C'est vous n'est-ce pas?
Copy !req
454. I'm sorry.
Have we been introduced?
Copy !req
455. I'm Blair Waldorf.
Perhaps you've heard of me?
Copy !req
456. I submitted
a charter application for N.Y.U.
Copy !req
457. Um...
Copy !req
458. Can you just hold on
one minute?
Copy !req
459. Don't go anywhere.
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
460. Chuck.
- There you are.
Copy !req
461. I knew you'd see
the error of your ways.
Copy !req
462. Monsieur Duris just stepped out
for his cigarette break,
Copy !req
463. which gives us two and a half
minutes, maybe four,
Copy !req
464. if it's a gauloise.
I came to apologize.
Copy !req
465. Ugh. What happened?
Copy !req
466. Don't tell me that awful whore
did something terrible to you.
Copy !req
467. I think that whore
may be my mother.
Copy !req
468. There you are.
Copy !req
469. Serena's about to leave.
You need to stop her.
Copy !req
470. You know what, Jenny? This just
isn't fun for me anymore.
Copy !req
471. but why would you take
romantic advice
Copy !req
472. from a guy who has
a cabbage patch doll?
Copy !req
473. I don't know. All you need
to know is i blew my chance.
Copy !req
474. The masquerade ball was
two years ago.
Copy !req
475. Don't let Serena
get away again.
Copy !req
476. You know your mother died
during childbirth.
Copy !req
477. What if she didn't?
Copy !req
478. What if it was just another
of my father's many lies?
Copy !req
479. Look,
Copy !req
480. it makes sense that when you
finally let your father go,
Copy !req
481. your mother would reappear.
Copy !req
482. She's not a ghost, Blair.
Copy !req
483. Don't you think i know
how crazy this sounds?
Copy !req
484. It's why i couldn't tell you
or anyone.
Copy !req
485. I'm aware that
one of Bart's old girlfriends
Copy !req
486. may have known my name,
Copy !req
487. and maybe even look like
old pictures of my mother.
Copy !req
488. But my father only had one
of these made with an "e" on it.
Copy !req
489. This woman had it.
Copy !req
490. Whoever she is,
Copy !req
491. it just seems like...
Copy !req
492. She'll make losing your mom
hurt all over again.
Copy !req
493. Do you really think
Copy !req
494. anything could be
more painful
Copy !req
495. than killing my own mother
Copy !req
496. and having my father hate me
for it my whole life?
Copy !req
497. If there is any chance
Copy !req
498. this isn't what happened,
i have to know.
Copy !req
499. I don't want to keep you
Copy !req
500. from your business
with monsieur Duris.
Copy !req
501. I just had to let you know.
Copy !req
502. Nothing...
Copy !req
503. Is more important
than being with you for this.
Copy !req
504. Sometimes despite the risk,
Copy !req
505. the only thing to do is
seize the moment...
Copy !req
506. Or whatever else you can grab.
Copy !req
507. I really always hope that Blair
is wrong about these things,
Copy !req
508. but if the only reason
you want to be with me is
Copy !req
509. that if we moved too fast
things weren't gonna work out,
Copy !req
510. and i really don't want that
to happen.
Copy !req
511. Okay, because I've waited...
Copy !req
512. I've waited a really long time
for this.
- Me, too.
Copy !req
513. We need to talk.
Copy !req
514. Rufus, finally.
Copy !req
515. I-i-i must have called you
a hundred times.
Copy !req
516. I told you I'd call you back
when i was ready.
Copy !req
517. Well, i guess i just didn't
expect it to take quite so long.
Copy !req
518. Well, i guess you should have
thought about that
Copy !req
519. before you...
Copy !req
520. Spent the night in a hotel room
with your ex-husband.
Copy !req
521. Well, I'm here now.
Copy !req
522. So why don't you tell me
exactly what happened?
Copy !req
523. Lil, I'm not interested
in any more lies.
Copy !req
524. Shh.
Copy !req
525. Oh.
Copy !req
526. We should probably go.
Copy !req
527. Mnh-mnh. Let's finish
what we started.
Copy !req
528. Not having any fun?
Copy !req
529. No. No, but you go ahead
and have yours.
Copy !req
530. Please... gloat.
Copy !req
531. You've earned it.
Copy !req
532. Well, you're always telling me
that this is a business
Copy !req
533. and not my social life,
Copy !req
534. but yet you're the one
who screwed up a major deal
Copy !req
535. because you wanted to fulfill
Copy !req
536. a high school dream of a night
with Serena Van Der Woodsen.
Copy !req
537. Irony duly noted.
Maybe next time you won't be
so quick to dismiss me.
Copy !req
538. I don't know if there will be
a next time.
Copy !req
539. Word of this botched job will
get around to my other clients.
Copy !req
540. And i owe violette more money
Copy !req
541. than i could possibly steal back
from my father,
Copy !req
542. so i think it's time for me
to head back to the continent.
Copy !req
543. Hey, Damien.
Copy !req
544. What is that jacket doing
on the floor?
Copy !req
545. It belongs
to the ambassador's daughter.
Copy !req
546. She'll be furious.
Copy !req
547. Hang it up
and make absolutely sure
Copy !req
548. that violette gets it
when she leaves.
Copy !req
549. Looks like you can cancel
that transatlantic ticket.
Copy !req
550. I guess so.
Copy !req
551. Elizabeth?
Copy !req
552. I'm sorry. Have we met?
Copy !req
553. You ran away from me
at my father's grave.
Copy !req
554. I'm Charles bass.
Copy !req
555. Oh, of course.
Copy !req
556. I apologize
for my sudden departure.
Copy !req
557. It was a very emotional day
for me.
Copy !req
558. You must have known my father
very well.
Copy !req
559. I'm not sure what gives you
that impression.
Copy !req
560. Your father and i
simply shared
Copy !req
561. a few memorable months
many years ago.
Copy !req
562. I was actually visiting
my mother's grave,
Copy !req
563. and i just stopped
to pay my respects.
Copy !req
564. At that time of the night?
Copy !req
565. On the anniversary
of my father's death?
Copy !req
566. I saw you had
his favorite flowers.
Copy !req
567. And you knew who i was.
Copy !req
568. I'm sorry. I... i read
that Bart had a son,
Copy !req
569. and you look just like
your father.
Copy !req
570. Most people say i more closely
resemble my mother.
Copy !req
571. I wouldn't know.
Copy !req
572. I never had the pleasure
of meeting her.
Copy !req
573. Well, maybe...
Copy !req
574. You can tell me why
Copy !req
575. you had her locket.
Copy !req
576. Oh.
Copy !req
577. Your father gave it to me.
Copy !req
578. The "e" is for "Elizabeth."
Copy !req
579. I loved to believe
it was a special gift.
Copy !req
580. I'm fairly certain
he gave it
Copy !req
581. to all his girlfriends
at the time.
Copy !req
582. You're welcome to keep it,
if you'd like.
Copy !req
583. I'm sure it means a great deal
more to you than it does to me.
Copy !req
584. I'm sorry
i can't help you find
Copy !req
585. whatever it is
you're looking for.
Copy !req
586. Blair, I'm sorry
to waste your time.
Copy !req
587. You should have stayed
with monsieur Duris.
Copy !req
588. I wouldn't want to be
anywhere else.
Copy !req
589. I'm just going to visit
the ladies' room.
Copy !req
590. Then we'll leave.
Copy !req
591. I'll bring the car around.
Copy !req
592. Elizabeth.
Copy !req
593. I already told your friend
everything i know.
Copy !req
594. And he may have bought it.
Copy !req
595. But i originated
that innocent, Doe-eyed stare.
Copy !req
596. I usually employ it when i know
more than I'm willing to let on.
Copy !req
597. Chuck...
Copy !req
598. Spent his entire life
Copy !req
599. believing that he killed
his mother.
Copy !req
600. If you know anything...
Copy !req
601. That could take away
even a second of that pain,
Copy !req
602. it would be cruel
not to share it.
Copy !req
603. Otherwise,
Copy !req
604. leaving town means never having
to say you're sorry.
Copy !req
605. Could there be a secret
even b. Can't crack?
Copy !req
606. Only time will tell.
Copy !req
607. Look, i was exhausted.
Copy !req
608. I was scared. I thought
my mother was going to die.
Copy !req
609. He's a doctor. He knew people
that could help her.
Copy !req
610. I had to seek him out.
I already knew
about Cece being sick,
Copy !req
611. and i know
that she got better.
Copy !req
612. And I'm not gonna sit here
for another hour
Copy !req
613. while you talk around
this thing.
- What do you want me to tell you?
Copy !req
614. Tell me
that you weren't with him
Copy !req
615. while i was home
taking care of our kids.
Copy !req
616. Tell me that you didn't sleep
with your ex-husband.
Copy !req
617. I didn't sleep with him.
Copy !req
618. I did kiss him,
Copy !req
619. but that's all.
Copy !req
620. Well, it must have been
one hell of a kiss
Copy !req
621. for you to build
all these lies around it.
Copy !req
622. Look, i-i-i promise.
It d—it didn't mean anything.
Copy !req
623. We were engaged.
It means something to me.
Copy !req
624. Where are you going?
Copy !req
625. I need time
to figure this out,
Copy !req
626. away from you.
Copy !req
627. Oh, Rufus, please, would you
come back home so we can...
Copy !req
628. So we can work this out.
Copy !req
629. Hey. Hey, Vanessa.
It's, uh, it's me.
Copy !req
630. I haven't heard from you
in awhile,
Copy !req
631. so I'm—I'm guessing that means
you don't want to hear from me.
Copy !req
632. Um, but, uh,
Copy !req
633. well, anyway,
things around here aren't—
Copy !req
634. aren't so great right now.
Copy !req
635. You know,
with my—my dad and Lily...
Copy !req
636. So I... i don't know.
Copy !req
637. If you get a minute,
i-i could use a friend.
Copy !req
638. I think we're pushing our luck
at this point.
Copy !req
639. Yeah.
- We should go now.
Copy !req
640. Will you grab my jacket
and dress, please?
Copy !req
641. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
642. Hey, i don't see it.
Copy !req
643. It's not here.
Copy !req
644. It's a perfect fit.
Copy !req
645. Well, I'm glad you're sticking
around for a while.
Copy !req
646. Me, too. Here.
Copy !req
647. No.
Copy !req
648. This wasn't a date.
Copy !req
649. If you want one,
you'll have to ask.
Copy !req
650. With enough time,
eventually we all see
Copy !req
651. what was right
in front of us...
Copy !req
652. Thank you.
Don't mind us.
Copy !req
653. Oh, great service.
Copy !req
654. Hey, that—that girl's
got my coat.
Copy !req
655. This was probably
the best first date ever.
Copy !req
656. Promise me no more slow.
Copy !req
657. Well, what if it's
the good kind of slow?
Copy !req
658. and realize no matter
how long it took,
Copy !req
659. it was worth the wait.
Copy !req
660. are you all right?
Copy !req
661. I spent 18 years
Copy !req
662. accepting the fact
my mother was dead.
Copy !req
663. I was misguided...
Copy !req
664. To let one
of my father's girlfriends
Copy !req
665. allow me to question that,
Copy !req
666. to hope things
may be different.
Copy !req
667. Your real mother
would never turn her back
Copy !req
668. on a chance to know you.
Copy !req
669. I don't have a real mother,
Blair.
Copy !req
670. I never will.
Copy !req
671. That doesn't mean
you're alone.
Copy !req
672. I love you, Chuck,
Copy !req
673. and I'll always be
your family.
Copy !req
674. but for some,
that time never comes.
Copy !req
675. instead of healing
old wounds...
Copy !req
676. The wait just opens new ones...
Copy !req
677. time after time.
Copy !req
678. X.O.X.O., gossip girl.
Copy !req
