Gossip Girl 3x17

1. Gossip girl here—

2. your one and only source

3. into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite.

4. Hey! It's the lovebirds. Hey, you two.

5. He told you, didn't he? Speaking for everyone, i think it's great.

6. Ever since i saw you, all i could think about

7. was payback for last year. Did you put something in my drink?

8. She's ready to party. Make sure you guys show her a good time.

9. Jenny! - Nate, thank you so much for tonight.

10. Isn't it obvious? You've been played, Chuck,

11. from the very beginning. I didn't have the courage to tell you

12. that i signed the hotel over to Jack. And the hotel?

13. Oh, lost. I've come this far without my mother.

14. I'm not backing down now. If it's a war Jack wants, then it's a war he'll get.

15. And who am i?

16. That's a secret I'll never tell.

17. You know you love me.

18. X.O.X.O., gossip girl.

19. Every war has its weapons.

20. But on the Upper East Side,

21. the rules of battle are simple—

22. there are no rules. Well, now i really, really hope those are for my birthday.

23. Uh, actually Chuck and Blair left them

24. after one of their games. Happy birthday, though.

25. So when do i get to unwrap my present?

26. What is that?

27. It's, um, just a garter holster.

28. It's for my cell phone.

29. Well, then I'd better take you upstairs so i can inspect it.

30. Oh, except i have to go shopping with Blair

31. but just so you know, you don't have to dress up

32. for a Knicks game. But you do for the frick benefit.

33. It's for Asian horned toads. They're in danger.

34. That's your surprise— a toad benefit?

35. Well, i know it's not what you would choose to do

36. on your birthday, but Chuck bought a table,

37. and we can celebrate this weekend.

38. And you're going to lunch with your grandfather.

39. That's festive. Yeah, I'm gonna hit the—hit the shower.

40. So you have fun shopping. See you at 3:00?

41. Yep. Hello, Mr. Nate.

42. Hey.

43. I feel very bad not wishing him happy birthday

44. or bringing him Polish breakfast sausage in bed.

45. Oh, Dorota, Nate has to think everyone's blowing off

46. It's called "assassin," and he loves it.

47. Did you get his phone?

48. In case anyone posts about the party,

49. i don't want him checking "gossip girl."

50. Can you hide this?

51. Thank you, Dorota.

52. You really have surrounded yourself with beautiful things,

53. so easy to auction off. Gotta love ebay.

54. As much as i hate to interrupt your fun,

55. this has gone on long enough. I want my hotel back.

56. Name your price. - I don't need your money, Chuck.

57. Then what is all this for—

58. just to hurt me?

59. Just to hurt you? Hurting you is a noble goal.

60. Granted, you know, it wasn't all that difficult.

61. You're not the man you used to be.

62. If you're referring to the fact I'm not in Thailand

63. smoking hash with prostitutes, change is good.

64. Young Chuck in love.

65. Beautiful... and sad.

66. Bart always said you were soft.

67. My father left me the company instead of you. I get it.

68. I'm more than happy letting Lily guide my stock

69. towards a tidy profit. I know the empire is not your endgame.

70. And if it's wounding me, you've done it.

71. So why are you still here?

72. It's an interesting feeling

73. holding another man's prized possession.

74. You wonder how far he'll go to get it back,

75. if there's anything he wouldn't do.

76. I will do anything.

77. Well, there is something that caught my eye.

78. I think i have to unfriend ryuichi.

79. I thought the boy you met in Japan was named hideo.

80. Thank you. Point is, hideo and his friends

81. Sayonara, ryuichi-San. Yeah, i didn't need to see that.

82. Hideo was supposed to be my rebound from Jonathan.

83. Now i need a rebound from hideo. It's a vicious cycle.

84. I'm sure there are tons of boys who'd love to go out with you.

85. Rufus, Jonathan and i are the only ones

86. at St. Jude's who are even out. I should just bury myself

87. in work like Jenny. Hey, you know, i like working for Eleanor.

88. I don't need a guy to make me feel fulfilled...

89. Especially when he's unavailable. Uh, poor Nate.

90. What? - Just reading the e-mail from Serena reminding everyone

91. to blow off his birthday. That seems kind of mean.

92. It's an act. She's planning this whole surprise thing

93. at the Waldorfs'. She's spending the whole afternoon

94. getting it ready. Wait. I don't get it then. What is Nate supposed

95. to do all day, just sit at home and think everyone

96. forgot his birthday? He spends five hours thinking Serena is a terrible girlfriend.

97. He'll forgive her. Five hours.

98. I, uh... Have to go to the fabric store. All right.

99. Bye.

100. Bye. Oh, god.

101. Denjuro, you are definitely not my friend.

102. Hey. Good morning.

103. Huh? Oh, yeah. Hey.

104. Have you been up all night?

105. 'Cause it looks like you've killed an entire forest,

106. and your breath smells like something dead.

107. Oh, thanks.

108. Um, the application for the Tisch writing program

109. is due in, uh, in— in two days, so i just—

110. i need to Bear down and finish my 1-act.

111. Is this the same 1-act that you were 95% done with last week,

112. but didn't want to show me until it was 100% done? Uh, yeah, yeah,

113. but you know, there's no point in showing it to you until

114. as soon as possible, remember? Uh, yeah, i do, but that was—

115. before we started sleeping together. Yeah, i know.

116. But we said we'd date and still be friends,

117. and this is being friends. In fact...

118. What's that?

119. This is my script for my short film class

120. Now hand yours over.

121. Uh... okay.

122. All right. You gotta be completely honest here.

123. Uh, and i gotta... you should ignore this first part.

124. In fact, why don't—why don't we just exchange tomorrow?

125. You know, i gotta help Serena out with Nate's birthday party,

126. and this it'll give me time to give yours proper consideration,

127. maybe fine-tune this one just a little bit more,

128. which it needs. Nice try, but you can read mine on the subway after you shower.

129. Have a good day.

130. Jenny, hey.

131. Hey. Um, i tried texting you.

132. Oh, yeah, i can't seem to find my cell phone.

133. Oh. - What are you doing here?

134. It's your birthday. Happy birthday.

135. All right, thank you. Here, i got you this.

136. Oh, wow.

137. You know, I'd say, like, let me take you out to lunch

138. or something, but, um, I'm sure you and Serena

139. already have plans. No, actually. Actually, we don't.

140. I was gonna—gonna go to lunch with my grandfather.

141. Oh. All right, well, have fun.

142. Nate?

143. I really just wanted to say thank you again

144. for last week.

145. I don't know what would have happened.

146. You know what?

147. Let me just call my grandfather and cancel.

148. I'm sure he'll understand.

149. the look on his face was so sad.

150. I wanted to call him back and say,

151. i didn't forget your birthday.

152. No word from Chuck? He was sitting down with Satan this morning.

153. He's gonna lay everything out on the table,

154. see if there's anything in the world he could offer Jack

155. to give up the hotel. He's come so far,

156. become the person i always knew he could be.

157. But he could lose it all because he opened his heart

158. and he loves you. The empire is just a hotel. You don't understand.

159. The hotel is proof that Bart was wrong about Chuck.

160. It's become who he is. Well, then you have to show him that he has so much more,

161. starting with...

162. Buying this dress.

163. Come on, b.

164. Once Chuck sees you in it, he'll realize empire

165. or no empire, Blair Waldorf loves him,

166. and no one else can say that.

167. Thanks, s.

168. I have to go get everything ready for Nate's party.

169. Are you gonna be okay?

170. Let me know if Chuck calls you.

171. And buy that dress.

172. She's right. It is a remarkable dress,

173. Please, i was just window-shopping

174. and saw something i liked. You're supposed to be meeting with Chuck.

175. Oh, we met. Ideas were discussed, voices raised,

176. expletives used. And how's your morning been, gorgeous? You think you've won.

177. But Chuck will find a way to get back what you stole.

178. There's always a way. I told him how to get back his hotel.

179. And here's the kicker— it wouldn't cost him a dime. What are you talking about?

180. I'm saying Chuck can have the empire,

181. and all it would cost is you...

182. Spending the night with me.

183. How's that grab you?

184. Careful, b. Jack bass' weapon of choice comes fully loaded,

185. and if he hits his target,

186. there'll be at least two victims.

187. I'd rather spend the night with the Marquis de sade,

188. and yes, i know he's dead. I'm surprised this is your response—

189. knowing how attached Chuck is to his hotel,

190. what it means to him. I thought you really cared for him.

191. Excuse me, i thought you were just a disgusting pig.

192. But now i realize you're actually demented.

193. Taking what belongs to Chuck has become a real passion of mine,

194. and i would find this particular conquest deeply satisfying.

195. While I'm flattered, i assure you that Chuck and i

196. will find another way. Chuck opened his heart to you,

197. and now his future lies in your hands—

198. well, not your hands, exactly.

199. But you could fix this.

200. He would never have to know.

201. Chuck will win, and I'll be right by his side,

202. as long as it takes for that to happen.

203. As long as you're at his side

204. and not mine,

205. that will never happen.

206. You should at least try it on.

207. Hey.

208. Hey, i was just about to call you.

209. We need it for the game of "assassin." Well...

210. - Done.

211. Now what's wrong?

212. Is it because Serena never threw you a surprise party?

213. Because you hate surprises. No, no. Uh, Vanessa just— she wrote this script.

214. She wants me to read it. - And?

215. Well, it's not great. Give her notes. I thought that's what you guys always do

216. with each other's work. Well, yeah, as friends.

217. I think in relationships, there's such a thing

218. as too much honesty. For instance, it would not

219. have been a good idea for me to tell Serena how i felt

220. about every outfit she wore. Well, telling a woman you like her clothes is not lying.

221. It's self-preservation. Yeah, but the truth has shades of gray, right?

222. In my experience,

223. it causes the same amount of problems down the line,

224. especially with the ladies.

225. So Serena must have something really great

226. Uh, that sounds...

227. Boring? Yeah, i know.

228. I mean, it's not like i had some high expectations.

229. I just expected Serena to be a little more...

230. I mean, you know. Basically, this burger is definitely

231. Actually, you know, the best part of the week. How are you...

232. After that whole thing at Eleanor's?

233. You know you can always come to me, right?

234. Yeah, thanks.

235. But today is not about me.

236. Did i mention that public embarrassment

237. is a part of the Humphrey birthday tradition?

238. Okay, I'm actually happy to be humiliated.

239. Good. Blow out your candle. Make a wish.

240. Yay!

241. Okay, bye.

242. I brought my trench coat, camera.

243. Prepare to be assassinated.

244. Will do. Thanks.

245. Something wrong?

246. Oh, you read my script...

247. And you didn't like it.

248. I can take it, i think.

249. Um... no, you're right.

250. I didn't, uh, i didn't like it.

251. I loved it.

252. Really? Loved it?

253. No notes? - No. I mean, only note I've got is i wish—

254. i wish there was more of it.

255. Yeah, so what did you think of my play?

256. Oh, um, i didn't get a chance to read it yet.

257. Oh, all right. No worries. But i do have to get

258. the application in day after tomorrow, so... - Okay.

259. Oh, miss Serena, i about to text. - Dorota, what is going on?

260. Everything should be done by now.

261. Everyone's gonna be here soon. Vans get messed up. Dead body cake go to wedding.

262. Wedding cake come here. Is very pretty,

263. but pink not Mr. Nate's color. Oh, my god. We have to stall Nate.

264. William has to keep him occupied. No cookies like hearts!

265. Find bullets and knives and little bombs that go boom!

266. Mr. Van Der bilt, it's Serena, but don't tell Nate.

267. Oh.

268. Okay, um...

269. Y-yeah, I'll let him know when i see him.

270. Nate's not with him.

271. He said he called last-minute and cancelled. Then where be he?

272. Let's find out.

273. Well, listen, i gotta get going.

274. I told Serena I'd be there by 3:00 to get ready for the gala. Uh, white shirt, black tie.

275. I'd think you'd have it down by now.

276. Have fun tonight.

277. Yeah.

278. Are you okay?

279. Yeah, I'm fine.

280. I don't know.

281. It's just whenever I'm alone,

282. i can't not think of the other night,

283. you know?

284. Hey, I'm sorry.

285. You shouldn't keep Serena waiting.

286. It's just you're the only one

287. who gets what I'm going through right now.

288. Well, hey, I'm sure Serena won't mind

289. if I'm a little bit late, right?

290. Like you said, white shirt, black tie.

291. How long can it take to get ready for a gala?

292. "Attention, upper east siders. Nate Archibald is m.I.A.

293. "Send tips and pics a.S.A.P.

294. Help Serena find her man."

295. Um...

296. You know, i-i kind of just want to disappear

297. in the dark for a while. Do you want to go see a movie? I'm in.

298. Okay.

299. Thank you, Gregor.

300. Chuck.

301. Back from shopping and no packages?

302. Who are you, and what have you done with my girlfriend?

303. Nothing suited my sensibilities. How was your talk with Jack?

304. I was wrong to think i could negotiate with terrorists.

305. Did he offer you anything? Nothing i would ever consider.

306. Maybe when he sees he can't get what he wants,

307. he'll stop toying with you. One can only hope.

308. - Hello?

309. Thank you.

310. You were right.

311. After i said no to Jack's offer,

312. he's called off the game play.

313. He's closing the hotel.

314. It's over.

315. Miss Blair, this package arrive for you.

316. There is card.

317. Careful, b. Don't forget your first rule of battle—

318. beware of basses bearing gifts.

319. (Man) Has Nate showed up yet? He'll be here soon.

320. I'm—I'm really sorry. I'm sure he'll be here any minute.

321. Hey, um, any word on Nate from Vanya's doorman contacts? Dorota has pretty much

322. the entire eastern block on lookout.

323. Anything on "gossip girl"?

324. uh, I'm gonna keep looking. Serena, come here.

325. You've done some unforgivable things like having sex

326. with Nate when we were saving ourselves for each other

327. or killing Pete fairman— - what?

328. How far is too far?

329. to get back the empire, and yes, it is terrible,

330. but they'd be doing it out of love.

331. Love of whom? Just love. The point is, if someone does something awful,

332. to best Jack bass, then probably not.

333. What are you not telling me? Nothing. You're right.

334. Thank you.

335. I should go get dressed.

336. Oh, and i invited my minions.

337. It'll be like shooting fish in a barrel.

338. Hey, Jenny. It's me.

339. Uh, i just wanted to remind you that Nate needed to be here

340. no later than an hour ago. Bring him to the party right now.

341. Hey, where's Nate?

342. I'm determined to believe he'll arrive momentarily.

343. He better, with all of his Columbia friends here.

344. Do you want me to start taking pictures of people?

345. Yes, please. I'll grab Vanessa's camera.

346. hey. Do you need something?

347. Camera. Here.

348. Smile like the killer you are.

349. Chuck?

350. Are you gonna come down and join the party?

351. I just heard from my lawyers.

352. I was waiting to see if there was any chance

353. of keeping the empire doors open. - And?

354. There's not. Jack's within his rights to shutter the place.

355. I just have to watch it die a slow, painful death.

356. When you bought the empire,

357. you told me you knew you could do it because i believe in you.

358. That hasn't changed. You'll find a way.

359. When are you going to get it? There is no way!

360. I'm sorry.

361. I'm not mad at you. It's my own fault.

362. I am everything my father said i was.

363. Oh. - Even without the guest of honor, it's still a great party.

364. I can't believe he didn't even call. Well, you did steal his phone.

365. You have a point, but we did have plans,

366. even if it was a made-up ball for a non-endangered reptile.

367. Surprise!

368. Sorry we're late, everyone!

369. Crazy, you.

370. Uh-oh, s.

371. Looks like little j.'S knives are sharpened,

372. and she's ready to use them in the battle

373. for Nate Archibald.

374. The game of "assassin" is simple—kill or be killed.

375. Your photo is your life. You wear it around your neck.

376. If someone grabs your picture before you grab theirs,

377. then you're dead, and you have to give them all the pictures

378. of everyone else you've killed. Once you're a ghost,

379. you come back here to the safe zone for the party.

380. You can't go beyond this block, but restaurants, buildings,

381. shops—all fair game.

382. The winner is the last assassin on the street,

383. and they have all the other photos.

384. So you have five safe minutes to leave the building

385. starting now. (Man) Spread out.

386. I can't believe you were in on this. Nicely played. Thank you.

387. I figured someone had to keep him distracted.

388. I gotta go before i end up dead.

389. I can't believe you did this. It's awesome.

390. I mean, you totally had me going.

391. Apparently. What, were you just not gonna show up to the gala?

392. What? No. Something with Jenny just came up. Yeah, i got that.

393. Okay, we have exactly four minutes left to live.

394. Do you really want to spend it talking like this?

395. Hey, come on. Game's starting.

396. Let's go. I'm already dead.

397. You still have your photo. Formality.

398. Although you're welcome to kill me again if you like.

399. oh, well.

400. hello, Dorota.

401. What are you doing here? I will be killed if someone find me.

402. Why would somebody kill you? Antiroyalists from Russia?

403. No. In game.

404. Then i must do something before you die.

405. Dorota...

406. From the first moment i saw you,

407. i knew you were Princess.

408. And every day you make me feel like king.

409. Will you—

410. yes, yes! Yes, of course i will marry you!

411. at least now i die with happiness.

412. Oh! Oh, Vanya, I'm so sorry.

413. Hey. You okay?

414. Uh, yeah, i am. Are you... okay?

415. I am engaged. - Oh!

416. Oh, wow, wow! Congratulations, both of you.

417. Uh, sorry. A friend's housekeeper

418. and our doorman just got engaged.

419. Oh. Well, okay, please continue on your way.

420. Do you live in the building? No, no. I just like hanging out in random lobbies,

421. overhearing marriage proposals and looking for pickup games

422. of assassin. Then this is definitely your lucky day.

423. Indeed.

424. There is actually something that i have to take care of

425. for a minute, but dead or alive, i will be right back.

426. Yeah, thanks.

427. thank you.

428. Hey, get out of my truck!

429. Now, if you'll excuse me,

430. i have more important prey to hunt.

431. ooh. You might want to call Rufus and say your good-byes.

432. You know, I'll give you another copy

433. 'cause the one in your bag is pretty marked up.

434. I'm sorry, Dan. I didn't know what to do.

435. And i was gonna tell you, but then you liked mine so much,

436. That's not what i meant. Well, good. As long as we're being honest,

437. your script was not an "a"-plus.

438. It was a "d."

439. At least you'll be together on the other side.

440. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't care about the game.

441. We need to talk. - Okay. About what?

442. What were you doing with Nate today? Keeping him busy.

443. We both know that wasn't the plan. Nate and i are just friends.

444. Friends don't kiss friends at their fashion shows.

445. You have history with him. Yes, ancient. I promise I'm not gonna do anything

446. to give Nate the wrong impression. Now is that all? - No.

447. You can't kill me. You're already dead. - No, I'm not.

448. Yes, you are.

449. Ohh.

450. Any last words before i open this door and murder you?

451. Look, i know you thought that i blew off your birthday,

452. but you did ditch me. - Well—

453. Serena, it wasn't like that.

454. Nate...

455. I need to know why you ignored our plans

456. to spend the day with Jenny.

457. Well, i promised her i wouldn't say anything.

458. Okay, last week something really messed up happened to her.

459. And she came to you about it? - Only because i was involved.

460. Well, that's not making me feel any better.

461. Okay, some girls from Eleanor's fashion show—

462. they roofie'd her, and then they dumped her off at some bar

463. with all these guys. Oh, my god. I-is she okay?

464. Yeah. I mean, i got there before anything actually happened,

465. but, you know, she's— she's having a tough time. So...

466. I'm sorry.

467. You're such a good guy, Nate Archibald.

468. Can i kiss you before i kill you?

469. Gotcha. Watch your back.

470. Well, looks like it's just you and Nate left.

471. I'm on it.

472. I assume she's still slaying. She can't be. Her polaroid's right here.

473. You know Blair. She's probably cheating.

474. If you'll excuse me a moment...

475. Blair?

476. When all other weapons fail,

477. there's always human sacrifice.

478. I... knew the memory of our new year's together

479. would bring you back. I'm not here for you.

480. I'm here to get Chuck's hotel.

481. Eh, semantics, really. I've had a contract drawn up.

482. Now suddenly you don't trust me? What are your demands?

483. "No kissing" seems to be,

484. you know, some working girls' rule of thumb.

485. You'll tell Chuck that you realized

486. he isn't worth losing bass Australia over.

487. Now that you've devalued the empire,

488. you're willing to sell it back,

489. And Chuck can never know.

490. Uh, i think I've already proven I'm not one to kiss and tell.

491. Fine.

492. I've—I've already had his hotel.

493. Now I'll leave knowing I've had the thing he holds even dearer.

494. Everything that was his is mine.

495. That dress looks almost as beautiful on

496. as I'm sure it will off.

497. But first, a drink.

498. Oh, I'm sorry. She's trying to kill me.

499. Yeah, only... Because he's trying to kill me.

500. The grilled cheese with truffles is really good, by the way.

501. Looks like it's "till death do us part."

502. Someday maybe you girls find true love, too...

503. And your children not grow up to be bastards.

504. congratulations, Dorota, Vanya.

505. Hey, uh, Dorota,

506. do you remember the guy that i was talking to in the lobby?

507. I don't even remember own name.

508. All a blur of sparkly...

509. Yeah.

510. So, uh, it— it wasn't a "d." It wasn't.

511. But it wasn't an "a"-plus, either.

512. I did think the male character's dialogue

513. sounded a little bit like a girl, you know, so...

514. I can see that. Thanks for being honest.

515. Tear me to pieces. Be brutal.

516. You know i think you're an amazing writer. Really? That brutal?

517. It's just...

518. A play about a homeless man winning the lottery?

519. It seems a little out of your wheelhouse. Oof. Well, all right.

520. Well, i was... You know, i was trying to show some range.

521. I know. But when you write about what you know, you're amazing.

522. Like that story about graduating from St. Jude's

523. having never fit in— that was really beautiful.

524. See, what would have happened if you didn't tell me this,

525. and i sent the wrong one with my Tisch application?

526. They would've loved you anyway. Sure you're not lying again?

527. Never.

528. Is it wrong that trying to kill you

529. You are the birthday boy.

530. I should let you kill me.

531. Uh-oh.

532. You're dead.

533. Champagne okay?

534. I prefer something stronger to kill the germs.

535. Hmm.

536. It must be lonely for you

537. with Chuck under all this pressure.

538. Has the stress compromised his ability to perform romantically?

539. I'm here because i love Chuck.

540. Don't flatter yourself

541. I think we've had enough foreplay.

542. Huh.

543. Thank you.

544. What?

545. That's it? You already signed the contract.

546. You can't go back now. Don't worry. Chuck will get his hotel.

547. But contrary to what you may believe,

548. i prefer the woman to want to have sex with me. I don't understand.

549. He chose to give me you.

550. No. What are you talking about?

551. Chuck doesn't know anything about this. - Really?

552. Because it seems to me

553. he knew exactly which buttons to have me push.

554. Said you wouldn't be able to resist stepping in

555. to save him behind his back.

556. You were there while i was shopping.

557. I'd never drop that kind of money on a dress.

558. My goal was to destroy Chuck.

559. But now that he has you, i had to break that bond.

560. Chuck would never do this to me.

561. If you don't believe me, check his credit card receipts.

562. I'm sorry, Blair. Just be grateful

563. one of the bass men has some moral integrity.

564. Although, if you're interested in some revenge sex...

565. I'd be more than happy to oblige.

566. Arms are laid down,

567. only to realize you've been hit by friendly fire.

568. Okay, so what the hell was that?

569. What do you mean? We were playing, and i killed you.

570. Jenny, us hanging out was... just as friends.

571. Yeah, i know. Nate, seriously, i thought that you'd be happy

572. i was finally having fun again.

573. Guys, i won.

574. Congratulations. Thank you.

575. Hey, I'm so glad it's over. Hi.

576. How could you lose? - Oh, stop it.

577. Cds.

578. Home so soon?

579. Please tell me Jack was lying,

580. that you wouldn't betray me like that. - Me, betray you?

581. You're the one who just came from seeing my uncle.

582. I went there for you because i thought

583. it was the only way that would save your hotel.

584. I would've done anything to help you.

585. All you had to do was ask.

586. If i asked, it wouldn't have worked.

587. You would have been too willing.

588. When Jack came to you,

589. he would've known we were working together.

590. I did what i had to, to win. - No.

591. I can't let my feelings cost me all that I've built.

592. Even if it means losing me instead?

593. All i ever did was love you.

594. "The worst thing i ever did,

595. the darkest thought i ever had."

596. You said you would stand by me through anything.

597. This, Blair, is "anything."

598. I never thought that the worst thing you would ever do

599. would be to me.

600. You went up there on your own.

601. Good-bye, Chuck.

602. hey. I'm sorry for tricking you.

603. Oh, it was worth it.

604. Seriously? Best birthday ever.

605. Well, it's not over yet.

606. I still have to give you your present.

607. Hey, Jenny, you ready? I'm gonna grab our coats.

608. Yeah, I'm done.

609. I mean, yeah, I'm ready to go.

610. when the battle ends and weapons are put away,

611. new strategies take shape.

612. hey, Vanessa.

613. Hi.

614. Professor Romano sent this over earlier.

615. You weren't here,

616. so the messenger left it with me.

617. I didn't know you were applying to the Tisch writing program.

618. I'm... kind of not telling anyone.

619. It's really competitive.

620. I mean, there are only a few spots for N.Y.U. Transfers.

621. I hope you get in. - Thanks.

622. soldiers decide to fend for themselves.

623. Hey, there you are.

624. I think you lost this. - Thanks.

625. How'd you know what apartment i was in?

626. Well, i, uh...

627. I started on the first floor and worked my way up.

628. You do realize that this is the penthouse, right?

629. I'm Eric.

630. I'm Elliot.

631. New alliances are made...

632. but there are casualties.

633. welcome home, Chuck.

634. You're not mad at me, are you?

635. I mean, you didn't actually believe

636. Blair could sleep with me and you two would be okay?

637. Or are you mad because i told her?

638. Security,

639. i need Jack bass escorted from my penthouse immediately.

640. You may have told her...

641. But Blair and i will get past this. Is that what you think?

642. Don't you get it, Chuck?

643. Blair's seen the real you now.

644. It's over.

645. She could never love that.

646. No one could.

647. Hope the empire's everything you wanted

648. 'cause now that's all you got.

649. In matters of love and war,

650. all weapons cause injury.

651. The question is,

652. who will live to fight another day?

653. X.O.X.O, gossip girl.
