58. WELL, HE´S NO MARIA BARTIROMO, BUT HE IS SERENA´S PROFESSOR,

59. AND SHE´S BEEN RAVING ABOUT HIM, SO I FIGURED I´D BORROW

60. THAT BOOK FROM HER.

61. THE MINUTE THE "S" WORD CAME UP.

62. SORRY, BUT EVER SINCE THE HAMILTON HOUSE DEBACLE,

63. I´M DEAD TO ANYONE IN SERENA´S LIFE,

64. EXCEPT FOR YOU. NATE DOESN´T EVEN RETURN MY CALLS.

65. ANY BETTER,

66. HE´S NOT TALKING TO ME, EITHER.

67. HE´S STILL PISSED THAT I STOLE THAT TREATY.

68. WELL, UNLIKE YOU, I DIDN´T DO ANYTHING.

69. JULIET FRAMED ME. SHE´S CRAZY. IS ANY OF THIS RINGING A BELL?

74. HI!

75. SORRY I´M LATE.

76. JUST TO FINISH "PERSUASION"

77. FOR MY COMP LIT CLASS.

79. NICE TRY. YOU´RE JUST TRYING TO AVOID

80. FROM THE OTHER NIGHT.

81. YOU PROMISED ME YOU WEREN´T IN CONTACT WITH BEN.

82. I´M ALL HE HAS. IT´S NOT THAT EASY FOR HIM.

83. PRISON SHOULDN´T BE EASY,

84. YOU DESERVE TO BE THERE.

85. HE DIDN´T DO IT.

86. YOU´RE THE ONLY PERSON THAT THINKS THAT.

87. HAVE HIM PLEAD GUILTY?

88. LOOK, I UNDERSTAND HE´S YOUR BROTHER AND YOU LOVE HIM,

89. BUT YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE.

90. OH, REALLY? AND YOU´RE NOT?

91. TO MEAN?

92. I SAW THE WAY

93. AT BLAIR WALDORF´S PARTY THE OTHER NIGHT.

94. IF YOU´LL EXCUSE ME, I´M RUNNING LATE,

95. I MAY PAY FOR YOUR LIFE HERE,

96. TO SEE YOUR BROTHER,

97. IT WILL COST YOU, AND THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL LOSE.

98. (Dan) YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CAN MAKE IN LOBSTERS?

99. NO, DANIEL, I DO NOT.

100. SORRY,

101. THAT THERE WOULD BE, UH, MORE... FAMILY INVOLVED.

102. YEAH, SO DID I, BUT I FORGOT

103. TO HIS INTERVIEW AT WESLEYAN.

104. AND SERENA? DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS THIS MORNING?

105. ´CAUSE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, NATE MENTIONED...

106. UH, SHE MIGHT BE SEEING SOMEONE.

107. WELL, LILY HASN´T SAID ANYTHING. WHY DON´T YOU JUST ASK HER?

108. IN HER ANSWER.

109. AND—AND—AND VANESSA.

110. FIGURED OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL.

111. I DON´T KNOW HOW SHE FEELS.

112. OR SOMETHING AND ASK HER.

113. YOU´RE RIGHT. I´LL JUST GO FIND HER ON CAMPUS.

114. I´M GONNA GO FOR BROKE TODAY.

115. I´M GLAD I COULD BE SO INFLUENTIAL.

116. OH, NO, IT´S ACTUALLY

117. "GOING FOR BROKE," BUT, UM, YOU´RE AWESOME, TOO, DAD.

118. NO—

119. YO! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU HAVEN´T BEEN HOME IN DAYS.

120. WELL, THE NEW YORK MARATHON WAS THIS WEEKEND.

121. THOSE WOMEN RUN 26.2 MILES IN UNDER 3 HOURS,

122. SO THEIR WARM-UPS ARE KEY.

123. WHAT ABOUT YOU?

124. THINGS BACK ON WITH JULIET? A ROMANTIC RENDEZVOUS?

125. NO, THAT´S OVER.

126. I´M JUST ACTUALLY

127. SHE LEFT AT THE SUITE.

128. SO I CAN FINALLY BE DONE.

129. THE UNOBTAINABLE GOAL.

130. IN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE,

131. THE CLOSEST I´VE COME

132. OF HATE SEX.

133. BUT THAT´S JUST ME.

134. I´LL STICK TO GIVING JULIET

135. AND COPY OF "THE HELP" BACK.

136. WELL, YOU GO AHEAD.

137. I´VE LEFT MY BlackBerry IN THE LIMO.

138. YOU´RE HOLDING IT.

139. THEN I NEED ANOTHER RISTRETTO. SEE YOU AROUND.

140. WHAT IF SOMEONE SEES?

141. YOU DON´T LIKE THAT ANYMORE?

142. NO, YOU IDIOT. I MEAN, WHAT IF SOMEONE WE KNOW SEES?

143. WHAT—WHAT AM I SAYING? THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO SEE.

144. THIS ENDS HERE.

145. WHAT ABOUT OVER THERE?

146. OKAY. HURRY.

147. NOT TO BE ALONE TOGETHER.

148. AH, IT WASN´T US. IT WAS FATE. I MEAN, CAN WE HELP IT

149. IF WE´RE IN THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME,

150. HAILING THE SAME CAB?

151. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.

152. NUMEROUS TIMES, WHICH IS WHY

153. IT WOULD´VE TAKEN TO HAIL ANOTHER ONE DURING RUSH HOUR.

154. I´M HAVING

155. WITH DUCT TAPE.

156. IS AT THE BALLET TONIGHT. IT WOULD BE IN PUBLIC,

157. SO WE´D BE FORCED TO RESTRAIN OURSELVES.

158. UNFORTUNATELY, I KNOW MORE THAN

159. OF THE BALANCHINE.

160. PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA.

161. YOU´RE RIGHT. I JUST HATE THAT

162. ACCIDENTAL CAB RIDE TOGETHER.

163. THAT´S ENOUGH FOR YOU?

164. WHY DON´T WE GO AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND?

165. WHAT?

166. WE CAN GO TO HARBOUR ISLAND.

167. OVER DINNER.

168. SEPARATE ROOMS, OF COURSE, SO NO RULES GET BROKEN.

169. WE´RE ALMOST THERE. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

170. I´M PACKING IN MY HEAD ALREADY.

171. OHH!

172. IN A CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS,

173. IT´S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS BE ALERT...

174. BECAUSE IF YOU BLINK,

175. YOU MIGHT MISS SOMETHING...

176. OR SOMEONE.

177. YES, HI.

178. WITH DEAN REUTHER RIGHT AWAY.

179. THAT SHE WANTS TO SEE.

180. BUT BE CAREFUL,

181. CAN BE EYE-OPENING.

182. HEY, EXCUSE ME.

183. I´M DROPPING SOME STUFF OFF FOR JULIET SHARP.

184. WHO?

185. JULIET SHARP. UH, 4A, I THINK IT IS?

186. I´M SORRY. THERE´S NO ONE NAMED SHARP IN THIS BUILDING...

187. OR JULIET FOR THAT MATTER,

188. I´VE WORKED HERE.

189. GOOD MORNING, UPPER EAST SIDERS.

190. THIS IS YOUR WAKE-UP CALL.

191. SERENA. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON CAMPUS SO EARLY?

192. THE BASS THAT ATE THE CANARY.

193. AND NO DENIALS. YOUR SKIRT´S ON BACKWARDS.

194. NO, IT ISN´T.

195. FINE, I MAY HAVE SLIPPED UP A LITTLE,

196. BUT IT´S JUST SEX, AND A ONE-TIME THING AT THAT.

197. OR MAYBE A 5-TIME THING. OKAY, IF WE´RE BEING HONEST,

198. I´VE LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES...

199. YOU´RE ACTUALLY COUNTING AS—

200. BLAIR, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU´VE COME SO FAR.

201. DON´T FALL OFF THE WAGON NOW.

202. I HAVEN´T.

203. IT´S JUST YOUR ORDINARY, RUN-OF-THE-MILL EX SEX,

204. MUTUAL LOATHING AND DISDAIN.

205. BOTH OF THOSE ARE FEELINGS?

206. ALWAYS START.

207. IN LEVI JOHNSTON´S HEAD.

208. WE´RE NOTHING MORE THAN ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS.

209. COMING FROM YOU, ELIZABETH TAYLOR.

210. YOU´RE ABOUT ONE

211. FROM THE GUINNESS BOOK.

212. A VERY GOOD TALK THIS MORNING,

213. A REAL RELATIONSHIP, TOO.

214. YES, I HEAR THE 97th STREET TRANSVERSE

215. TO DRIVE PAST ON A DATE.

216. I SAW YOU GET IN THAT CAB.

217. TO OUR RULES, OF COURSE.

218. PLEASE. DO YOU FORGET WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU ON VACATIONS?

219. THERE´S A REASON WHY YOU NEVER GET A TAN LINE.

220. YOU HAVE NO WILLPOWER.

221. AND YOU DO?

222. YES. I STOPPED HAVING MEANINGFUL SEX WITH CHUCK,

223. HAVING MEANINGLESS SEX WITH HIM.

224. IN FACT, I AM GOING TO CALL HIM

225. IS FINISHED FOREVER.

226. YOUR PASSPORT STAMPED AGAIN.

227. HEY.

228. YOU RETURN PHONE CALLS NOW?

229. I WENT TO JULIET´S APARTMENT THIS MORNING,

230. AND IT TURNS OUT SHE DOESN´T LIVE THERE. SHE NEVER HAS.

231. WHAT?

232. LOOK, I´M SORRY, VANESSA.

233. I SHOULD´VE BELIEVED YOU WHEN YOU SAID SHE SET YOU UP.

234. JULIET´S A LIAR.

235. SHE´S BEEN LYING TO ME THIS WHOLE TIME.

236. FINALLY! TOOK SOMEONE LONG ENOUGH.

237. BUT SERIOUSLY, I-I APPRECIATE YOU TELLING ME.

238. WHAT SHE´S HIDING?

239. LET ME SEE... WRITING A PAPER

240. HELP ME CLEAR MY NAME?

241. LET ME GRAB MY BAG.

242. ALL RIGHT.

243. WHY DO YOU HAVE MAD FACE? IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

244. NO, IT´S NOT OKAY. YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

245. I THINK I MISSED SOMETHING.

246. I DIDN´T.

247. WITH COLIN FORRESTER.

248. WITH YOUR PROFESSOR?

249. WELL, TECHNICALLY, HE´S A GUEST LECTURER,

250. AND, NO, IT´S NOT AN AFFAIR

251. UNTIL THE SEMESTER´S OVER.

252. IT´S ROMANTIC.

253. A SACRIFICE FOR YOU.

254. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

255. WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER, I WOULD´VE DONE ANYTHING FOR YOU.

256. REALLY CARES ABOUT YOU,

257. THEN WHY CAN´T HE QUIT TEACHING, TAKE YOU ON A DATE?

258. YOU´RE WORTH MORE THAN A GUEST LECTURER FEE.

259. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. I JUST WISH YOU DID.

260. SEX IN THE LIMO.

261. WE´VE LITERALLY COME FULL CIRCLE.

262. YOU´RE RIGHT. WE NEED TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO END THIS.

263. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT, BUT... IT´S THE ONLY WAY.

264. ARTHUR, WE NEED TO PICK UP SOME KLUG DU MENSIL ´95...

265. AND LOTS OF CONDOMS.

266. IT´S GOING TO BE A LONG DAY OF IMMERSION THERAPY.

267. ARE GOING TO END THIS,

268. WE´LL HAVE TO HAVE SEX

269. IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

270. DOROTA, YOU HAVE TO

271. FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS, NO MATTER WHAT.

272. BUT, MISS BLAIR—

273. DON´T "MISS BLAIR" ME!

274. IS TO HAVE A BASS-ECTOMY. NOW HELP KEEP ME OCCUPIED.

275. HEY. I WAS JUST ON MY WAY TO YOUR OFFICE.

276. LOOK, I´VE BEEN THINKING—

277. THINK NO MORE. WE´RE ABOUT TO GO ON VACATION.

278. WE LEAVE TOMORROW MORNING. AT LEAST I DO.

279. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

280. I´M ON A 9:00 A.M. FLIGHT, AND YOU´LL BE ON THE 11:00.

281. SEPARATE FLIGHTS?

282. WE´LL MEET AT THE PINK SANDS. YOUR ROOM´S UNDER YOUR NAME.

283. UNDER "BUFFETT."

284. UH-OH. I CAN TELL YOU´RE THINKING AGAIN.

285. YEAH, I´M JUST THINKING

286. ISN´T SUCH A GREAT IDEA.

287. OKAY. FINE. WE WON´T GO ANYWHERE.

288. WE´LL JUST GO BACK TO WAITING, TOUGH IT OUT.

289. BUT WE SHOULDN´T HAVE TO. WE SAY WE WANT A REAL RELATIONSHIP,

290. TO MAKE A SACRIFICE.

291. I´M CONFUSED. WE BOTH KNEW THE DEAL GOING IN.

292. WHAT´S CHANGED?

293. I DID, I GUESS.

294. I DON´T KNOW. MAYBE WE´RE NOT SUCH A GREAT IDEA.

295. YOU GOT OUT OF THE CAB?

296. JUST A CASE OF BAD TIMING.

297. I´M JUST THE FIRST ONE TO SAY IT.

298. I´M SORRY.

299. I WAS SURPRISED YOU CALLED.

300. WANTED TO TALK TO ME AGAIN.

301. ´CAUSE YOU BROKE UP WITH ME

302. DOESN´T MEAN WE CAN´T BE FRIENDS, RIGHT?

303. SORRY. CHUCK´S ASKING WHERE THE BATTERIES ARE.

304. OKAY, NOW I KNOW YOU´RE LYING.

305. I WISH I KNEW WHEN YOU WERE.

306. IT WOULD´VE SAVED ME A LOT OF TIME NOW, WOULDN´T IT?

307. NATE, WHAT´S GOING ON HERE?

308. I SHOULD BE ASKING YOU THAT.

309. YOUR APARTMENT TODAY,

310. YOU DON´T LIVE THERE, OKAY.

311. DONE GIVING A DAMN ABOUT YOU,

312. BUT I JUST CAN´T LET IT GO.

313. I MEAN, WHY—WHY DO YOU NEED TO LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING?

314. BECAUSE I DIDN´T WANT YOU TO SEE WHERE I REALLY LIVE.

315. A STUDIO ON 126th STREET,

316. AND I...

317. I COULDN´T EVEN AFFORD THAT IF IT WEREN´T FOR MY COUSIN.

318. HE PAYS FOR MY RENT, MY TUITION,

319. AND THE REST OF THE STUFF,

320. OR... RETURN...

321. WHEN I CAN, OKAY?

322. SO THAT´S WHAT YOU´VE BEEN HIDING? THAT—THAT YOU´RE...

323. POOR?

324. I WOULD´VE BEEN KEYMASTER

325. WOODBURY COMMON TWICE A MONTH?

326. OR THAT I DO MY OWN HAIR?

327. FURNITURE I PUT TOGETHER MYSELF?

328. WHEN MY DAD WENT TO JAIL, I HAD NOTHING, OKAY?

329. SO I KNOW—I KNOW WHAT IT´S LIKE TO FEEL THE NEED TO KEEP UP.

330. I´M SORRY I LIED TO YOU. I WAS ASHAMED.

331. AND THAT´S THE REASON I BROKE IT OFF BETWEEN US,

332. BECAUSE I... I DIDN´T WANT TO GET TOO CLOSE.

333. BUT I DID REALLY LIKE YOU,

334. AND I STILL LIKE YOU.

335. NO, NO, NO, NO. WAIT. WAIT.

336. YOU... FINALLY TOLD ME THE TRUTH,

337. AND I´M A BIG BELIEVER IN SECOND CHANCES.

338. I´VE HAD A COUPLE IN MY LIFE.

339. THERE´S THE, UH,

340. TONIGHT.

341. WOULD YOU WANNA COME?

342. THAT YOU ACTUALLY OWN,

343. EVEN IF IT´S FROM WOODBURY COMMON?

344. YES, I WOULD LOVE TO.

345. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

346. YOU CAN´T EVEN IMAGINE HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME.

347. THEY SAY A PICTURE´S WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.

348. BUT IN THIS CASE,

349. THERE´S ONLY THREE LETTERS

350. O.M.G.

351. DOROTA!

352. BLAIR, IS THERE SOMETHING WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT?

353. THIS IS NO CAUSE FOR CONCERN, SERENA.

354. QUITTING CHUCK, AND I AM.

355. IT´S JUST A BIT HARDER TO CHUCK CHUCK THAN I THOUGHT.

356. LIKE JESSE JAMES?

357. YOU´RE GONNA OVERCOME THIS,

358. MY OBSTACLE TODAY.

359. I SHOWED SOME WILLPOWER, AND I BROKE UP WITH COLIN.

360. GOOD FOR YOU.

361. FOR ONCE, YOU´RE THINKING WITH YOUR BRAIN AND NOT WITH YOUR...

362. MACAROON?

363. TO BE WITH ME,

364. WAS JUST DROP THE CLASS.

365. IT WAS A CLASS THAT HE DIDN´T WANT OR NEED TO TEACH ANYWAY.

366. YOU ARE SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN.

367. TO BE WITH YOU IF HE HAD TO.

368. I´VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT ALL DAY.

369. AND YOU´RE BLAIR WALDORF.

370. FORTITUDE IS YOUR TALENT. STAY STRONG.

371. I´LL SEE YOU AT THE BALLET. GOTTA GO MAKE A CALL.

372. COME BY.

373. I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT BEN, AND I´M TAKING YOUR ADVICE.

374. I´M CUTTING OFF ALL COMMUNICATION WITH HIM.

375. GLAD TO HEAR IT. WHAT CHANGED YOUR MIND?

376. THERE´S THIS GUY THAT I LIKE,

377. BECAUSE BEN WANTED ME TO.

378. AND NOW THIS GUY, NATE— HE WANTS TO TRY AGAIN.

379. AND I CAN´T SAY NO TO A SECOND CHANCE.

380. IT´S JUST... IT´S SO HARD GIVING UP ON BEN.

381. I MEAN, YOU REMEMBER WHAT HE WAS LIKE BEFORE?

382. HE WAS SO OPTIMISTIC, IDEALISTIC.

383. I MEAN, THE DAY

384. OF HIS LIFE.

385. I STILL SEE HIM LIKE THAT.

386. I KNOW, BUT HE´S NOT THAT PERSON ANYMORE.

387. HE´S A 26-YEAR-OLD CONVICT

388. WHO STILL HASN´T TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS.

389. HE´S NOT GONNA BE ABLE

390. WHAT HAPPENED.

391. I GUESS I DON´T WANT TO ACCEPT IT EITHER.

392. BUT I HAVE TO.

393. FOR MY OWN GOOD.

394. THANK YOU.

395. SO THERE´S ROOM FOR BETTER THINGS TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE.

396. WELL PUT.

397. YOUR WORDS. "WINNER!" CHAPTER THREE.

398. THOSE WERE MY WORDS, WEREN´T THEY?

399. MM-HMM.

400. THANK YOU.

401. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

402. STEP ANY CLOSER, AND I´LL SCREAM.

403. YOU BETTER BELIEVE YOU WILL.

404. IF WE´RE GOING TO END THIS,

405. RIGHT AWAY.

406. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THIS IS A DETOX.

407. FROM EACH OTHER.

408. WHERE´S THE FUN IN THAT?

409. CLEANSES AREN´T FUN. THEY´RE EFFECTIVE.

410. YOU KNOW WHAT´S EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE? EXCESS.

411. EAT ANYTHING TOO MUCH, AND YOU WON´T WANT IT AGAIN.

412. I HOPE YOU DID YOUR YOGA. THIS COULD GO ON A WHILE.

413. NO!

414. MISS BLAIR, NO!

415. IS DOWNSTAIRS.

416. WHAT? WHY?

417. HE´S HERE FOR ME AS MY DATE.

418. A DATE?

419. YES, AND I MUST LEAVE NOW

420. AND NOT HAVE SEX WITH YOU.

421. IF KGB CAN´T GET ME TO TALK, CHUCK BASS HAS NO CHANCE.

422. HEY.

423. HEY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT?

424. GRIMALDI´S AND NETFLIX. WHY?

425. WELL, I ENDED IT WITH COLIN.

426. OH, YOU DID? THAT´S TERRIBLE.

427. NO, YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT HIM, SO IT´S ACTUALLY GOOD.

428. BUT DVDs AND PIZZA, REALLY?

429. WHAT, YOU GOT A BETTER OFFER?

430. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BALLET?

431. WATCHING OR PERFORMING?

432. in an hour, and we´ll discuss both after.

433. OKAY, I´LL BE THERE.

434. BLAIR. IS SERENA HERE?

435. NO, BUT THE BETTER QUESTION IS, WHY ARE YOU HERE?

436. WHAT I SHOULD´VE DONE WEEKS AGO.

437. I AM DONE TEACHING AT COLUMBIA,

438. TO FIND A REPLACEMENT.

439. WRITTEN YOU OFF...

440. WELL, NOT "JUST." I KIND OF WROTE YOU OFF WEEKS AGO.

441. SORRY. BUT NOW YOU´RE COMING WITH ME.

442. WE´RE GONNA GO FIND SERENA

443. CAN BE TOGETHER,

444. THE BEST SEX OF ANYONE´S LIFE BASED SOLELY ON PRINCIPLE.

445. AND IF ANYONE ASKS, YOU´RE MY DATE.

446. BLAIR!

447. HURRY. THERE´S A BASS ON THE LOOSE, AND IT´S HUNGRY.

448. ACTUALLY...

449. SO AM I.

450. VANESSA! WHAT...

451. THAT YOU LIVE HERE?

452. I SAW YOU CHECK INTO OLLIE´S A LOT ON FOURSQUARE,

453. TO GIVE ME YOUR ADDRESS,

454. YOUR SUPER GOT ME IN YOUR DOOR.

455. TO A SAFER NEIGHBORHOOD.

456. INTO MY APARTMENT?

457. THAT YOU´RE THE CRAZY LIAR THAT I KNOW YOU ARE.

458. AND, WELL, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

459. AND THEN I FOUND THIS.

460. PLEASE, YOU DON´T UNDERSTAND.

461. JULIET, I´M SORRY I DIDN´T BELIEVE YOU

462. SERENA SENT THE E-MAIL.

463. YOU WERE RIGHT. SHE WAS TRADING SEX FOR GRADES ALL ALONG.

464. BUT DON´T WORRY. YOUR SECRET IS SAFE WITH ME.

465. I´M FAR MORE INTERESTED IN

466. PETTY CLASS PRETENDER.

467. THANKS, I GUESS,

468. BUT I DON´T PLAN ON SHOWING THOSE PICTURES TO ANYONE.

469. WHY NOT?

470. DESTROY SERENA AND VINDICATE ME.

471. VANESSA, I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU GOT DRAGGED INTO THIS,

472. I COULD FIX IT FOR YOU,

473. BUT I´M NO LONGER INTERESTED IN TAKING DOWN SERENA.

474. IN FACT, THE ONLY THING

475. THAT I´M DOING WITH THOSE PHOTOS IS DELETING THEM.

476. YOU—YOU—YOU CAN´T BE SERIOUS.

477. WHO SERENA REALLY IS,

478. TO CHANGE?

479. I HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE, SO I CHOSE.

480. FINE.

481. IT´S BETTER IF WE PUT THIS BEHIND US.

482. ON VANESSA´S SHOULDER

483. JUST WENT DIGITAL.

484. (man) THERE SHE IS NOW!

485. (man) ETHAN! (man) BEAUTIFUL.

486. (man) GILLIAN!

487. HI.

495. AH, AND YOU WERE LAST WEEK.

496. YEAH.

497. SHE´S PROBABLY JUST USING YOU TO MAKE THAT COLIN GUY JEALOUS,

498. AT BLAIR´S.

499. ACTUALLY, SHE AND COLIN BROKE UP.

500. IS THAT SO?

501. HI!

502. I DON´T UNDERSTAND. YOU BROUGHT COLIN AS YOUR DATE?

503. ARE YOU ON A SUGAR HIGH?

504. NO. HE´S YOUR DATE, NOT MINE.

505. SHALL WE HEAD INSIDE?

506. SORRY, MAN.

507. YOU SHOULDN´T HAVE THOUGHT YOU WERE ANY DIFFERENT.

508. I RESIGNED FROM COLUMBIA.

509. I DON´T CARE ABOUT BEING A TEACHER.

510. I CARE ABOUT BEING WITH YOU.

511. I CAN´T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT.

512. WHAT I CAN´T BELIEVE IS HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO DO IT.

513. BLAIR, WE NEED TO TALK, OR, RATHER, NOT TALK.

514. WHAT DON´T YOU GET? I´M HERE WITH A DATE.

515. PROFESSOR FORRESTER ISN´T A DATE. HE´S A DISTRACTION.

516. KEEP YOUR FOCUS. GIVE IN TO YOUR DESIRES, YOUR NEEDS.

517. LET´S FINISH THIS THE RIGHT WAY.

518. COLIN ISN´T A DISTRACTION. YOU ARE.

519. WHAT?

520. HE AND I MADE A DEAL.

521. WE COULDN´T BE TOGETHER UNTIL THE CLASS WAS OVER,

522. BUT IT´S SO HARD.

523. MY DESIRES SOMEWHERE.

524. NICE TRY.

525. I´LL BE WAITING

526. ACROSS FROM THE DRESS CIRCLE.

527. SEE YOU IN FIVE.

528. HELP YOURSELF, SIR.

529. THANK YOU.

530. YOU´RE WELCOME.

531. TUXEDOS, CHAMPAGNE.

532. OF COURSE YOU´D BE HERE.

533. JUST A HEADS-UP, SERENA´S HERE,

534. BLAIR, CHUCK, THE WHOLE GANG.

535. THE PERSON I´M HERE TO SEE IS DEAN REUTHER.

536. SHE´S A BIG SUPPORTER OF THE BALLET.

537. SHE´S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.

538. IS MAD AT YOU,

539. SO YOU´RE BEFRIENDING THE DEAN?

540. ABOUT SERENA.

541. SHE´S HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HER PROFESSOR.

542. HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

543. AT JULIET´S APARTMENT.

544. WHAT? JULIET TOOK PHOTOS OF SERENA?

545. WILL KNOW THE TRUTH.

546. VANESSA.

547. DON´T DO THAT.

548. WHY? FOR SERENA?

549. SORRY, NATE.

550. DAN, WAIT.

551. I THINK I´VE WAITED ENOUGH. TELL ME SOMETHING, SERENA.

552. DID YOU GET

553. TO BE YOUR DATE?

554. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, YOU COULDN´T COME WITH COLIN

555. SINCE HE´S YOUR PROFESSOR, AND NATE WAS LAST WEEK´S BEARD.

556. SO—SO WHAT DOES THAT MAKE ME? BACHELOR NUMBER THREE?

557. I DIDN´T KNOW COLIN WAS COMING.

558. I ALSO DIDN´T KNOW THAT HE QUIT HIS JOB TO BE WITH ME.

559. OKAY. SO WHAT NOW?

560. WHY DO I EVEN ASK?

561. THANK YOU, ALL, FOR COMING TO TONIGHT´S BENEFIT,

562. OF THE NEW YORK CITY BALLET.

563. TONIGHT´S PROGRAM IS DEDICATED TO THE LATE GEORGE BALANCHINE,

564. OF THIS GREAT ORGANIZATION,

565. AND A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.

566. HEAR, HEAR!

567. HEAR, HEAR.

568. EXCUSE ME.

569. YES?

570. DEAN REUTHER, HI.

571. OH... MY...

572. VANESSA ABRAMS, IS THAT YOU?

573. MY APOLOGIES, DEAN.

574. I HAVEN´T SEEN THIS ONE SINCE... EXETER!

575. MM!

576. NO PROBLEM, MS. SHARP. HAVE A NICE EVENING.

577. YOU, TOO.

578. EXETER? SERIOUSLY?

579. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? AND WHY WERE YOU TALKING TO THE DEAN?

580. MAYBE BECAUSE YOU AREN´T.

581. I GAVE YOU BACK YOUR CAMERA, BUT I KEPT THE MEMORY CARD.

582. HEY, I THOUGHT WE DECIDED NOT TO DO ANYTHING WITH THAT.

583. NO, YOU DECIDED.

584. I´VE BEEN LOSING TO SERENA FOR THREE YEARS,

585. WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING,

586. AND I´M OVER IT.

587. TELL YOU DON´T FEEL THE SAME WAY.

588. I MEAN, THERE´S OBVIOUSLY A REASON YOU TOOK THESE PHOTOS.

589. YEAH, THERE WAS, BUT I HAD A CHANGE OF HEART.

590. IF YOU´RE DOING THIS BECAUSE OF NATE,

591. THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH. HE SET YOU UP.

592. TO COFFEE OUT OF THE BLUE?

593. I SEARCHED YOUR APARTMENT.

594. AND I, UH, TOLD NATE ABOUT THE PHOTOS.

595. AND I´M PRETTY SURE HE´S FILLING IN BLAIR RIGHT NOW.

596. FACE IT. AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU´RE AN OUTSIDER JUST LIKE ME.

597. AND IF IT´S EVER BETWEEN ONE OF US AND SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN,

598. SERENA.

599. EXCUSE ME, DEAN REUTHER.

600. THAT YOU NEED TO SEE.

601. PUT ON YOUR TOE SHOES, SERENA.

602. IT´S GONNA BE HARD TO DANCE YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS ONE.

603. WITH HER PROFESSOR.

604. MS. SHARP, I AM HERE WITH FRIENDS.

605. AND JUST ENJOY MYSELF.

606. DEAN REUTHER, MAY I PLEASE HAVE A MOMENT WITH YOU?

607. OF COURSE YOU´RE INVOLVED WITH THIS, MS. WALDORF.

608. AND MS. VAN DER WOODSEN

609. TO TRY AND STAY OFF MY RADAR.

610. DEAN REUTHER, I´M NOT LYING.

611. WHAT´S GOING ON?

612. NOTHING THAT CONCERNS YOU, PROFESSOR,

613. FOR THE MOMENT.

614. ACTUALLY, IT DOES CONCERN COLIN.

615. HE´S THE ONE IN THE PHOTOS WITH SERENA.

616. YOUR POSITION TODAY?

617. WHILE IT´S TRUE

618. WITH A STUDENT,

619. IT´S NOBODY´S BUSINESS WHO THAT STUDENT IS.

620. THE RESPONSIBILITY IS MINE,

621. BY LEAVING MY POST.

622. THAT´S SOMEWHAT ADMIRABLE, COLIN.

623. IT´S THE PROFESSOR

624. FOR ANY IMPROPRIETY,

625. IN THE PAST,

626. A LITTLE MORE CLOSELY.

627. OH, LET ME GET MY CAMERA.

628. HERE. LOOK AS CLOSE AS YOU WANT.

629. OH, LET ME HELP YOU WITH THAT. OOPS.

630. YOU DIDN´T WANT TO LOOK

631. BECAUSE IT WASN´T SERENA IN THEM.

632. IT WAS ME.

633. BLAIR, YOU DON´T HAVE TO DO THIS.

634. MY COLLEGE CAREER BY LYING?

635. SO GO AHEAD, FIRE COLIN. OH, WAIT. HE ALREADY QUIT.

636. SO LET´S JUST GO IN AND ENJOY SOME JETéS.

637. ALLEGRO!

638. IF I COULD SAY SOMETHING,

639. I, FOR ONE, COMPLETELY CORROBORATE MS. WALDORF´S STORY.

640. WITH PROFESSOR FORRESTER.

641. AND TALKS TO,

642. DUE TO MY... INSATIABLE JEALOUSY.

643. THAT HE DIDN´T QUITE SATISFY HER LIKE I USED TO.

644. IT´S TRUE.

645. DON´T YOU SEE?

646. THEY´RE ALL PROTECTING EACH OTHER.

647. THIS IS WHAT THEY ALWAYS DO.

648. I´M SORRY. WHO ARE YOU?

649. MS. SHARP, THE REALITY IS

650. THAT WITH NO PROOF,

651. I CAN´T TELL WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH.

652. YEAH, WELL, THERE WAS PROOF, UNTIL BLAIR DROWNED IT.

653. JULIET, I DON´T LIKE

654. THEIR ACADEMIC CAREERS.

655. SO IF YOU WILL PLEASE EXCUSE ME,

656. I´M GOING TO TRY MY BEST TO ENJOY THIS PERFORMANCE,

657. WHICH, HOPEFULLY,

658. THAN THE ONE I´VE JUST SEEN. GOOD EVENING.

659. EXCUSE ME, SERENA.

660. YOU TOOK PHOTOS OF ME? WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?

661. YOU SHOULD´VE

662. IN THE FIRST PLACE.

663. I TRIED TO WARN YOU.

664. OH, YEAH, YOU REALLY HAD MY BACK.

665. EVENTUALLY TURN YOU AGAINST ME,

666. DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

667. IT´S NOT THAT SIMPLE. I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU.

668. IN THIS CASE, THE ONLY PERSON YOU HURT IS YOURSELF,

669. BECAUSE STARTING NOW, YOU ARE COMPLETELY CUT OFF.

670. AS FAR AS I´M CONCERNED. YOU ARE AS DEAD TO ME AS YOUR BROTHER.

671. COLIN!

672. NOW IT´S OUR TURN.

673. WITH SERENA HAS GROWN TIRESOME.

674. BE A SINGLE WHITE TRASH FEMALE.

675. NATE, THIS ISN´T ME. YOU KNOW THAT.

676. ANYTHING YOU SAY AGAIN?

677. WELL, YOU CAN BELIEVE THE PART WHERE SHE DOES HER OWN HAIR.

678. MY FRIENDSHIP WITH BLAIR,

679. MY REPUTATION, MY ACADEMIC CAREER.

680. YOU FAILED EVERY TIME, AND NOW IT´S TIME FOR YOU TO GO.

681. I´M TRYING TO.

682. HE´S TALKING ABOUT COLUMBIA.

683. YOU DON´T BELONG THERE ANYWAY.

684. HANGING AROUND AGAIN,

685. THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES.

686. AND WE´RE REALLY GOOD AT PAYBACK.

687. ONE UGLY DUCKLING EXILED.

688. LET´S HOPE SHE DOESN´T TURN INTO A BLACK SWAN.

689. ABOUT EVERYTHING.

690. JUST HOW TROUBLED JULIET WAS.

691. OH, THERE´S NO WAY YOU COULD´VE SEEN IT.

692. SHE DIDN´T LIKE ME BEFORE YOU AND I MET—OR SHE AND I MET.

693. OF MINE AND NATE´S PAST.

694. I WAS SEEING YOU...

695. IT WAS THE LAST STRAW.

696. BUT I JUST DON´T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE WOULD HURT YOU, THOUGH.

697. I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE FAMILY.

698. AND FROM WHAT NATE SAID, SHE OWES YOU A LOT.

699. WELL, IT MAKES MORE SENSE THAN I´D LIKE IT TO.

700. OUR FAMILY HISTORY IS... PRETTY COMPLICATED.

701. TO THROW AWAY EVERYTHING THAT´S GOOD JUST TO SETTLE A SCORE.

702. WELL, HANG AROUND

703. A LITTLE LONGER, AND YOU´LL SEE IT ALL THE TIME.

704. I´M WILLING TO TAKE MY CHANCES IF YOU ARE.

705. OH.

706. WHEN I MET YOU, I WAS RUNNING AWAY FROM SOMEONE.

707. I´M SORRY THAT I RAN RIGHT INTO YOU.

708. I´M SORRY YOU GAVE UP TEACHING FOR ME. I FEEL AWFUL.

709. TO BE HONEST, I WAS NEVER ANY GOOD.

710. I HATE USING A RED PEN...

711. STOP IT.

712. IS BORDERLINE DEGRADING.

713. SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

714. OH, GET BACK TO DOING WHAT I DO WELL—BEING A BUSINESSMAN.

715. NO RELATIONSHIPS, NO ROOTS. JUST...

716. WORK.

717. THAT´S A HORRIBLE IDEA. YOU´RE A GOOD PERSON.

718. THAN JUST PUT THEM IN A CAB.

719. GOOD LUCK, SERENA.

720. THANK YOU.

721. HEY, DAN, I DON´T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW,

722. BUT I JUST GOT BACK TO MY PLACE,

723. IF WE COULD MEET.

724. I...

725. SORRY. UM, ANYWAY...

726. I´LL WAIT OUTSIDE FOR YOU.

727. "FOR HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES"?

728. BYE.

729. Would it be cheesy of me to say

730. "for however long it takes"? Bye.

731. End of messages.

732. SERENA. HEY.

733. NATE. HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

734. I´VE JUST BEEN WALKING AROUND,

735. THAT HAPPENED TONIGHT.

736. THAN JUST A WALK FOR THAT.

737. YOU KNOW, WHEN, UM...

738. AT FASHION´S NIGHT OUT,

739. YOU WERE RIGHT.

740. IT WAS... IT WAS JULIET

741. WHEN YOU GOT BACK FROM PARIS.

742. YOU KNOW, I CAN´T HELP BUT WONDER

743. WHAT WOULD´VE HAPPENED IF IT WEREN´T FOR HER.

744. YOU KNOW, MAYBE THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT NOW.

745. DIFFERENT?

746. THE TWO OF US, WE´VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH TOGETHER.

747. AND I JUST... GOD, I REALLY MISS YOU.

748. A SECOND CHANCE.

749. I WON´T LET YOU DOWN.

750. SOMETIMES IN LIFE, WE HIT A CROSSROADS...

751. WHICH PATH WE WANT TO TAKE.

752. THERE´S NOTHING I LOVE MORE

753. WITH A VICTORY UNDER MY BELT.

754. OUR COUNT IS?

755. FOR US, A MILLION. THE WORLD—ZERO.

756. A TAKEDOWN´S BETTER THAN SEX.

757. DON´T GET CRAZY NOW.

758. WELL, IT´S AN ENDORPHIN RUSH.

759. OF OLD TIMES.

760. YOU STEPPING UP TONIGHT.

761. I WANTED TO SAY YOU OWE ME,

762. BUT FOR SOME REASON, DIDN´T FEEL RIGHT.

763. WOW. HOLDING BACK FROM A THREAT.

764. IT´S ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING A FRIEND WOULD DO.

765. MAYBE THAT´S BECAUSE THAT´S WHAT WE ARE—FRIENDS.

766. WELL, WHO KNEW IT´D TAKE TONS OF

767. FOR US TO FINALLY GET HERE?

768. I SHOULD BE GOING.

769. GOOD NIGHT, WALDORF.

770. SAME TO YOU, BASS.

771. AND THERE´S NO WAY OF KNOWING

772. OR TO PAIN.

773. HI. UM, I´M JULIET SHARP.

774. YOU—YOU DON´T KNOW ME,

775. THE UPPER EAST SIDE, AND, WELL,

776. FROM THE INSIDE RIGHT NOW.

777. This—This is so weird.

778. You—you probably think I´m crazy.

779. UH, WELL, IF YOU ARE, I´M SURE THEY MADE YOU THAT WAY.

780. BELIEVE ME, I KNOW FROM FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE.

781. Uh, what exactly did you have in mind?

782. ONCE WE´VE MADE OUR CHOICE, THERE´S NO TURNING BACK.

783. WATCH OUT, UPPER EAST SIDE.

784. OF AN UGLY FRIENDSHIP.

785. X.O.X.O., GOSSIP GIRL.
