Gossip Girl 5x24

1. Gossip Girl here

2. your one and only source

3. into the scandalous lives

4. of Manhattan's elite.

5. Bart. He's alive. What about Lily?

6. Have you thought about how you..

7. want to break the news to her?

8. Where exactly are you gonna find

9. some other Upper East Side woman

10. to take care of you the way I have?

11. You just made my decision for us

12. to spend some time apart that much easier.

13. I'm with Chuck. He needs me.

14. He's going through extremely difficult time right now.

15. - My computer is gone. - Gossip Girl.

16. - She took it. - How do you know that?

17. Either way, it's over.

18. The real Gossip Girl is back.

19. Do you really wanna spend the

20. entire summer with me in Rome?

21. There is nothing I want more.

22. I've got a page from Blair Waldorf's diary

23. where she tells all about who's really in her heart.

24. Where has she been? Serena?

25. And who am I?

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

27. You know you love me.

28. XOXO.

29. Gossip Girl.

30. Good morning, Upper East Siders.

31. How do you look today?

32. You know image is everything.

33. Oh, it's so great to hear from you, David.

34. I would love to work together on another movie.

35. Yeah, I'll look out for my premiere invitation.

36. See you then. Bye.

37. But under those perfect clothes

38. and perfect smiles

39. everyone has their not-so-perfect secrets.

40. Thank you.

41. I take it you've decided to ask Lola to move in for the summer.

42. She sleeps here every night. I wanna see her every day.

43. I figure, why not?

44. This place could use a woman's touch.

45. Couldn't we all.

46. Lucky for me, nothing can stay hidden forever.

47. Have you heard from Lily?

48. No. Nothing.

49. Whether the truth's in a diary or the daily news

50. once it's out, it will change everything.

51. Let the chips fall where they may

52. along with the husbands and boyfriends.

53. It's bad enough you read my diary

54. but to publically expose my naked thoughts

55. is unconscionable!

56. B, I was never gonna publish them.

57. I just wanted to know that I could.

58. I was upset about you and Dan. And I'm so sorry.

59. I never thought Gossip Girl would steal my computer

60. with everything on it.

61. Well, I took Dan's phone so he wouldn't see anything.

62. But I'm just postponing the inevitable

63. if she keeps releasing pages.

64. I wouldn't worry about Dan. He's a writer.

65. He knows that diaries are all about exploring your thoughts.

66. Like all those terrible things you said about me

67. that's not how you really feel.

68. It is now.

69. Oh! "Another day of wedding planning

70. "where my mother needs to make me small

71. so she can be the star."

72. There goes that relationship!

73. No big deal! Who needs a mother?

74. You better find a way to stop this before

75. I lose everyone I ever cared about.

76. I will, right away.

77. Dorota!

78. We need to find every damning thing I ever wrote

79. so we can be proactive about damage control.

80. Every damning thing since grade school

81. is a lot of damning.

82. Do you wanna steam laundry in Siberia?

83. Mobilize the troops!

84. - Hey. - Hey.

85. I know you wanna talk to me about something

86. but can I go first?

87. Yeah, sure. What's going on?

88. I got a job as a swing in the

89. touring company of "Wicked."

90. A swing? What's that?

91. Like a part or a prop?

92. It's like an understudy, but for a lot of characters.

93. Ah.

94. It's not exactly my dream

95. but with my mom in jail

96. it solves my summer housing problem.

97. Well, I know housing's an issue

98. but you don't have to leave New York.

99. I don't want to leave you either, but

100. even if I could afford to stay here

101. I'd never find an acting job that paid enough.

102. It's my best option.

103. I have to get to my fitting, okay?

104. Alright, well, I, um..

105. Oh! You wanted to talk.

106. I'm sorry. I'll come over as soon as I'm done, okay?

107. 'I appreciate everything FHP did for Stella.'

108. I'm just not sure that it's the right path for me.

109. Alright, talk soon.

110. Blair, darling, why is Dorota carrying your life history?

111. Suffice to say that I apologize in advance

112. if any of your meetings today are negatively affected

113. by the publication of my intimate musings.

114. Thank you.

115. "My mother considers herself

116. "an arbiter of Parisian style

117. "but the only French she is intimate with

118. are fries."

119. Well..

120. The reflections of an over privileged

121. and unattended 13-year-old

122. have no bearing on the business I'm in town for..

123. which I have to discuss with you.

124. I would love to, just as soon as

125. I get my own business in order.

126. Oh.

127. Pages with foot and mouth

128. already marked from K to 6.

129. What are you waiting for?

130. Every minute is another bridge burned.

131. Why should we help you when you called us

132. "back of house?"

133. That was you. Um..

134. She says my hair is as thick

135. as Jessica Simpson's.

136. That says "head."

137. You should be grateful that your names are mentioned at all.

138. 'That guy spent one week with Marilyn'

139. 'and he is still living off the royalties.'

140. Your grandchildren will brag that their ancestors

141. were belittled by Blair Waldorf.

142. Fine. What do we have to do?

143. Hey.

144. If you're calling to yell at me

145. about Blair's diary, I-I know.

146. I'm sorry. I-I know I deserve it.

147. 'But I am doing everything I can to get Gossip Girl'

148. 'to stop posting any more of it.'

149. Wait a second. Gossip Girl has Blair's diary?

150. That's not why you're calling?

151. No, no-no, uh, my dad was trying to reach Lily

152. and I was wondering if you'd spoken to her since..

153. Bart's resurrection.

154. No, I left her a couple messages

155. last night but I haven't heard from her. I'm sorry.

156. I have to go deal with this Blair thing.

157. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a-about that—

158. 'Just be the bigger person'

159. 'and don't read any of them.'

160. Stay off "Gossip Girl," okay?

161. Serena hasn't heard from Lily?

162. 'No, she hasn't.'

163. Is that Lily getting back to you?

164. No, it's my lawyer.

165. I asked him to find out what Bart's reappearance

166. means to my marriage.

167. And?

168. "Lily and Bart never got a divorce

169. so technically, they're still married."

170. Wait, wait, wait. What?

171. One of Lily's marriages has to be annulled.

172. I wanna make sure it's not mine. I gotta go.

173. Deceiving you..

174. was the only way to keep you and Chuck safe.

175. If I had known, maybe we could've

176. done things differently.

177. You mean you would've come with me.

178. Please.

179. You were getting ready to leave me for Rufus.

180. I'm sorry for that.

181. I should have had more respect for our marriage.

182. What about Charles?

183. I mean, uh, his thinking you were dead was hell for him.

184. He got through it, though..

185. with your help.

186. He told me about the adoption, Lily.

187. I owe you everything for that.

188. Charles is family.

189. And even with you back, he's mine, too.

190. And now here we are..

191. technically still married..

192. with a son that we legally share.

193. Oh.

194. I can't deny the fact there's a part of me that would..

195. like to move back in here..

196. repair the damage to our relationship

197. a great deal of which I am responsible for.

198. You know, Bart, I have some wonderful memories..

199. I know. I know.

200. You've moved on.

201. You are..

202. happily married to Rufus.

203. I'm sorry, it was..

204. foolish of me to think that you'd ever choose me over him.

205. Status report.

206. Penelope, social suicide watch.

207. The Met's not gonna be happy.

208. Make a donation.

209. Also include the ballet, opera.

210. Skip MOMA. Tim Burton isn't art.

211. I stand by that statement.

212. Jessica, you are on restaurants.

213. I need to be able to eat in this town again.

214. Start by apologizing at Per Se and

215. work your way down to Boulud Sud.

216. Kati, regarding fashion

217. tell Diana that when I said her wraps looked like they were

218. for falafels, that I meant it as a compliment.

219. What could be more interesting than saving my future?

220. Your past.

221. This is all Serena's fault!

222. She said she would fix it. It just made it worse.

223. Go.

224. Not you. I have a new task for you.

225. I'm not comfortable kissing Dan.

226. I'll manage matters of my heart.

227. You find every secret Serena has.

228. I need the best one, to destroy her.

229. I just hope Chuck and Dan don't see this.

230. For my father's press conference this afternoon

231. make sure you only have hard sources.

232. The "Times,"The Journal." No Perez.

233. What is it?

234. This new romance with Dan is fun

235. but is cultural stimulation enough?

236. What if I never love anyone more than I love Chuck?

237. Looks like someone forgot a D at the end of that word.

238. Guess we just answered who's in Blair's heart.

239. Question is, is there room for two?

240. Dan? Hello, it's me!

241. Do you want to come with me

242. to the Shepherds' divorce party tonight?

243. I should've known that marriage was doomed

244. when Serena banged my boyfriend at the reception.

245. You saw "Gossip Girl."

246. You wanna reimburse me for my new phone?

247. 'Cause I'm assuming it's you who took the old one.

248. I swear, it was just a fleeting thought

249. that I jotted down the day before our hotel room incident.

250. And drunk elevator sex changed all that.

251. I would have edited it out of my biography

252. had it not already been posted for posterity.

253. What you wrote wasn't about sex. It was about your feelings.

254. My feelings about our impending sex

255. which no longer apply.

256. Blair, I told you I loved you

257. and you pretended like you didn't even hear me.

258. Well, Dan, let's just put all that behind us.

259. See, you-you're doing it again.

260. Do you even want to be in this relationship?

261. Of course.

262. Is the reason you can't say you love me because..

263. you're still in love with Chuck?

264. No.

265. Then I need to know how you

266. feel about me, by tonight.

267. We're supposed to be spending the summer in Italy together

268. and I don't want you coming..

269. unless I know where we stand.

270. Sorry that took so long. I'm here to talk now.

271. There's actually someone you need to talk to first.

272. Dad!

273. Your roommate said I would find you here.

274. You... look great.

275. Oh. Well, is everything okay?

276. Did something happen with mom's case?

277. No, I'm afraid her future is still pretty uncertain.

278. But I don't want yours to be, so I've arranged

279. for Carol's half of Cece's estate

280. to be... transferred to you.

281. This is a lot of money.

282. You know what it means, right?

283. I can pay for school.

284. And not be an Oompa Loompa understudy.

285. You can stay in New York..

286. and live with me.

287. Did you just ask me to move in with you?

288. I believe he did.

289. You can say no, but you can't make the excuse

290. that you don't fit in my world anymore.

291. It's your world now, too.

292. Well, this is my mom's money.

293. I can't make any decisions until I talk to her.

294. Rufus, you're looking well.

295. I see the transition from Brooklyn to the big-time

296. has done you wonders.

297. I'm, uh, not here for small talk.

298. I just need you to sign these annulment papers.

299. So..

300. Lily has chosen to end our marriage..

301. in order to save yours.

302. She made her choice three years ago

303. when she decided to leave you for me.

304. 'Nothing's changed since then.'

305. Maybe I have.

306. All that time in hiding..

307. made me realize what's really important.

308. What do.. What does that mean exactly?

309. That if Lily's happiness depends on my signature on these..

310. you will have them by the end of the day.

311. Thank you.

312. I just got off the phone with David O. Russell's assistant.

313. My invitation to the premiere was rescinded.

314. I've always found him an intelligent filmmaker.

315. Because Gossip Girl posted a diary page

316. about how I never read "The Beautiful And Damned"

317. but I just pretended to to get the job.

318. Well, maybe you should've considered that

319. before you leaked my diary.

320. It wasn't in your diary.

321. Not the ones you found, but it was on the page

322. I just wrote and e-mailed to Gossip Girl

323. when I saw your invitation.

324. Blair, you knew how important that job was to me

325. and-and I was on the verge of getting another one.

326. Summer job on a film set

327. versus exposing all my secrets..

328. No, I'm not sorry.

329. "I'll never love Chuck again after what he did tonight.

330. He's a monster. He deserves to be alone forever."

331. I was waiting for that one.

332. You happy now?

333. Now that I'm as alone as you are?

334. Well, I'm only alone because of you.

335. You-you had your prince and you had Chuck.

336. You didn't need to take Dan, too.

337. I didn't take Dan. That's not how relationships work.

338. You'd know that if you'd grown up at all since high school.

339. Oh, come on, Blair. You're the one who can't move on.

340. You-you're still in love with Chuck

341. and you still won't admit it.

342. Get out.

343. I mean it. I want you gone for good.

344. Pack your things.

345. You can't hold me responsible

346. for everything bad in your life.

347. I can because you are.

348. The best time I ever had

349. was when you were gone six years ago.

350. Leave your key with Dorota.

351. Well, it's about time William gave you my money.

352. I was starting to worry he'd made some

353. secret alliance with Lily.

354. Oh... I guess it just took

355. a while to arrange everything.

356. But now we can hire you a great defense lawyer.

357. I already have one.

358. Abrams & Weil took my case

359. pro bono last week.

360. Apparently, one of the partners read about me

361. in the New York social diary.

362. Just out of the blue like that?

363. Mm-hmm.

364. Wow. Well, that's great, mom.

365. Then why aren't you smiling?

366. This money is a good thing.

367. Go tell Nate you'll move in with him.

368. Don't turn your back on the life that..

369. I almost screwed up for you.

370. I am proud of you, son.

371. Lily told me you'd stepped up, but I had no idea

372. how much you accomplished.

373. Thank you.

374. How was seeing Lily after all this time?

375. I never dealt with such a formidable woman.

376. Made me regret not treating her better.

377. They do require dedication.

378. I assume you're talking about Blair Waldorf.

379. But you two aren't back together?

380. I made a lot of mistakes after you left.

381. I lost my temper, I..

382. lost myself.

383. When I finally realized what I'd done

384. and I had the ring to propose, I..

385. I was too late.

386. And then she married a prince.

387. Now she's with Dan Humphrey.

388. Or at least I think she is.

389. I don't really know how she feels about either of us.

390. So... what are you waiting for?

391. Chances like this don't come around very often.

392. And no one... does a grand, romantic gesture..

393. better than a Bass.

394. Of course I didn't have anything to do

395. with your mother's new lawyer.

396. Carol still won't speak to me.

397. But if you need any help paying their fees, I'll contribute.

398. Everyone deserves a defense.

399. Well, the firm is working for free.

400. And if I needed money, I have my mom's half of Cece's estate.

401. That's right. William... uh..

402. Well, your father mentioned that.

403. Excuse me, Miss Lily. I have delivery from your attorney.

404. Thank you, Vanya.

405. Bye.

406. Is everything okay?

407. I'm not sure.

408. Would you mind letting yourself out?

409. Make sure they know the Q and A will be limited to ten minutes

410. only on specified subjects.

411. That's all for now.

412. What are you doing here?

413. I... came to check on you.

414. Gossip Girl's been putting a bunch of stuff up

415. and I wanted to make sure that you weren't hurt.

416. Why would I be hurt about something that was

417. in your diary a year ago?

418. We've been through so much since then

419. talked about everything, made amends.

420. Or is there... some other reason you're here?

421. Maybe to tell me you and Dan broke up?

422. No.

423. We haven't.

424. I can't play this game anymore, Blair.

425. I spent the whole year waiting for you.

426. I need to move forward with my life now.

427. Of course.

428. You're right.

429. Unless... there's something else you need to say.

430. I have to go.

431. Blair's dirty work can wait.

432. She fired me.

433. I'm on my way to meet everyone at Michael Jordan's Steak House

434. for the Shepherd's divorce party.

435. Oh, well, there's been a change of plans.

436. You're not going to that, and neither is Blair

437. and you and your friends are going to see to it.

438. That's the problem with hired help.

439. They'll work for anyone.

440. You look just as beautiful in black as you did white.

441. Oh!

442. Hey. You look dapper.

443. Oh, thank you. You look beautiful.

444. Blair texted me that she would be here

445. so I'm-I'm feeling a little bit better.

446. Then you should probably stay off "Gossip Girl."

447. Why?

448. Did I miss another diary post?

449. She was just spotted at the Empire.

450. Come on, she's probably just telling Chuck

451. that-that it's over between them for good

452. and I bet she's on her way here now.

453. Come on, let's go get you an ale-imony while we wait.

454. Hey.

455. I appreciate you doing all this.

456. It's important that the world know you're back.

457. To new partnerships.

458. Speaking of which..

459. You didn't need to buy me a gift.

460. Actually, you bought it.

461. I was at Harry Winston, picking up an apology trinket for Lily.

462. Helene told me it was in the vault.

463. I thought you might want it back.

464. Why?

465. Well, isn't Blair still the most important thing in your life?

466. Where's that last grand gesture we spoke of earlier?

467. Maybe I'll just hold on to it.

468. Lily. What a pleasant surprise.

469. Charles, do you mind if I speak to your father alone?

470. I'll tell everyone we need a few more minutes.

471. I can't believe how much more grown up you are

472. at your age than I was.

473. I suppose it's the divorce

474. and all the other mistakes you've already made.

475. Well, it won't get easier any time soon.

476. I'm headed for a reckoning

477. Dan versus Chuck.

478. Ooh. You always did love Jane Austen.

479. As literature, not my life!

480. Dan is my best friend.

481. When we're together, it's great.

482. I feel strong and safe... except in his neighborhood.

483. And with Chuck?

484. - I'm vulnerable. - Oh.

485. He's devastated me, but..

486. he's also made me happier

487. than I've ever been.

488. I-I just don't know which kind of love is better.

489. You probably think I'm pathetic for even caring.

490. If I was truly powerful..

491. I'd be content without any man at all.

492. Well, even moguls have hearts, my dear.

493. Trust me, Blair.

494. There isn't a woman out there

495. more powerful than you are.

496. - You really think so? - Yes, I do.

497. That's why I want you to take over my company.

498. That's what I've been trying to talk to you about.

499. I have decided to retire..

500. and I know you've always said

501. you didn't want any part of what I do.

502. - Well, have you seen my closet? - Mm-hmm.

503. Fashion is art and culture and history

504. and everything I love combined.

505. But I'm not a designer.

506. So your first order of business

507. will be to find the right one to take over.

508. So what do you say? Will you do it?

509. Will a real Waldorf woman carry on the name?

510. Yes. Of course, yes!

511. Oh!

512. Hugs? What did I miss?

513. Knock! Were you raised in a barn?

514. What are you doing here? I dismissed you hours ago.

515. Then your diary said I was pathetic

516. for showing up everywhere alone.

517. So I thought we could go

518. to the Shepherd party together.

519. But is that what you're wearing?

520. Serena just left here in exactly the same color scheme.

521. Give me a minute.

522. Mm. Two more prenup shots, please.

523. You know, maybe I should just text Blair.

524. No. No, don't do that.

525. That will completely ruin the romance

526. of her showing up to be with you.

527. What?

528. - What? What happened? - I think..

529. I think Chuck is proposing to her.

530. Well, I'm... I'm so sorry, Dan.

531. Well, maybe it's not what we think it is.

532. Or maybe if it is, maybe she's not gonna say yes.

533. After being rejected at Blair's wedding

534. I don't think Chuck would... would ever make that move

535. unless he was sure of her answer.

536. Well, then, I wanna hear that from her.

537. - Oh! Oh! - Sorry.

538. - 'I'm so sorry.' - No, it's okay.

539. It's okay.

540. I know somewhere where we can dry off.

541. What are you still doing here?

542. - Waiting for Blair to change. - She left.

543. She went through Serena's room to avoid you.

544. 'I should've known we'd have communication problems'

545. when she stole my phone.

546. Sorry to interrupt your diatribe, but

547. um, can you unzip my dress?

548. Don't worry. There's a slip underneath.

549. I just can't get it dry like this.

550. Yeah, wh-where was I with my diatribe?

551. Oh, right. Communication.

552. She tells me that I never shut up, but

553. she's the one who's always talking.

554. It's not like her to choose Chuck and not say anything.

555. Well, it's exactly like her, actually.

556. I'm sorry, I just-I can't protect Blair any longer.

557. All she does is lie and scheme, and she's done nothing

558. but hurt you all year.

559. I thought she'd changed.

560. She's never gonna change. Don't you see, Dan?

561. The Blair that you're in love with isn't the real Blair.

562. It's the one that you created in your book.

563. And she's always loved Chuck.

564. She just used you to get between us

565. because she knew that I loved you.

566. 'Sorry to bother you before your press conference'

567. but you said you wanted to be honest moving forward.

568. I want nothing more.

569. Was there a problem with the annulment papers?

570. Oh, I was just surprised, uh

571. you didn't mention them when we spoke.

572. That's because Rufus brought them by after I saw you.

573. I just assumed it was because you'd decided

574. to stay married to him.

575. I was only trying to honor your wishes, so..

576. I should've known you'd lure her here.

577. How'd you do it? Sob story?

578. 'Diamond necklace?'

579. I should get to the press conference.

580. Give you two some privacy.

581. How dare you have annulment papers drawn up behind my back.

582. I tried to call you. You didn't answer.

583. I wanted to give us a chance to work things out

584. before Bart... started causing problems.

585. Our problems long predate Bart's return.

586. You haven't spoken to me in weeks.

587. You've had, you've had no interest

588. in working on our marriage until you saw this

589. as a competition with him.

590. He's manipulating you to choose him.

591. Well, you're wrong.

592. He signed the papers.

593. It'll be my choice who I stay married to, not yours.

594. I am pleased to announce that Bass Industries

595. will now truly be a family business

596. with the return of the man

597. who taught me never to give up

598. even on the dead.

599. My father, Bart Bass.

600. Thank you, son.

601. Thanks, mom.

602. I've made my choice.

603. I know who I need to be with.

604. I'm on my way to tell him now.

605. Of course, none of this would've been possible

606. without my son Chuck.

607. So thank you, Chuck

608. for keeping my seat warm.

609. So starting today..

610. I will be the only Bass

611. in Bass industries.

612. 'Thank you. Any questions?'

613. Some secrets even I couldn't see coming.

614. Bye-bye, Baby Bass.

615. I thought that went well.

616. What'd you want to discuss?

617. You said this was a family business.

618. What happened to us being partners?

619. You said partnership.

620. I said nothing and did what was best for my company.

621. The only reason this company still exists

622. is because I saved it.

623. All I've done is work to protect your legacy.

624. And pine after Blair Waldorf.

625. Blair has nothing to do with the way

626. I've handled this business.

627. You didn't try and trade her for a hotel deed?

628. You didn't let everything fall apart

629. when you ran away from her all the way to Europe?

630. You didn't, just three months ago

631. almost bankrupt yourself

632. trying to get her out of her marriage?

633. I had hoped you had outgrown such foolish behavior

634. but you're still willing to throw everything away..

635. for a girl who's done nothing but toy with you.

636. And you proved that when you took that engagement ring.

637. You gave me it.

638. You encouraged me to win her back!

639. It was a test..

640. to see if you were ready to be a Bass..

641. to do the things you need to do

642. to be a great man and you failed.

643. Failed?

644. I got you out of hiding.

645. I took down your enemy.

646. I built this Empire!

647. No, no, no, no, the most you have done

648. is used my money to redecorate.

649. Bass Industries needs to be run by a man..

650. not a boy.

651. You've never grown up.

652. Maybe you can start now.

653. That was definitely not what I expected to happen tonight.

654. Not that it-it was bad. It wasn't.

655. Oh, don't sound so surprised. We were always good together.

656. Yeah, we were, weren't we?

657. Here.

658. Hm. That's weird. Your camera's on.

659. Uh, no, no, it's not.

660. Whoa, I think it was recording us, actually.

661. Oh, gosh, maybe I-I hit the button

662. when I was cleaning up the spill. Here, let me erase it.

663. You had Penelope keep Blair home?

664. You knew that she wasn't with Chuck the whole time.

665. No. No, that's... that's not true.

666. She was spotted at the Empire. You saw that yourself.

667. You manipulated me into thinking that it was over

668. so I would cheat on her.

669. Oh, come on, Dan

670. we both did this.

671. What were you gonna do with this? You gonna..

672. You gonna post this video on "Gossip Girl?"

673. I gotta get out of here.

674. Wait. Look.

675. Blair really did choose Chuck.

676. I don't know who you are anymore.

677. I'm sorry.

678. I don't need your pity.

679. I'm not here because I pity you.

680. I'm here because it's time I was honest with you.

681. I love you.

682. 'I'm in love with you.'

683. I have tried to kill it..

684. to run away from it, but I can't

685. and I don't want to anymore.

686. So what?

687. So now we can be together.

688. Isn't that what you want?

689. It was..

690. before I lost everything.

691. Bass Industries isn't everything.

692. I'm gonna take over my mother's company, and..

693. it can be our future.

694. The only reason Waldorf Designs has a future

695. is because I gave mine up for it.

696. My father was right.

697. I always put you first

698. and you bet against me every time.

699. Now I have nothing.

700. You have me.

701. That's not enough.

702. I need a future.

703. Then let me be part of it.

704. I don't want to be Mr. Blair Waldorf.

705. I'm Chuck Bass.

706. Poor B, now that she's revealed what's in her heart

707. guess these diary's days are dead

708. along with her happily ever after.

709. I'm off to meet Jack.

710. Turns out my father cut him

711. out of the company, too.

712. I'm not surprised, but are you sure

713. you wanna partner with the guy?

714. I need resources if I'm going to get back

715. what I built and my father stole.

716. Nobody does resource management better

717. than a vengeful Jack Bass.

718. - Good luck. - I'll see ya.

719. You sure you don't wanna come tour the northwest with me?

720. A little fresh air might be good after your last few months.

721. I would love to hang out with you and nature

722. but I have worked too hard on "The Spectator" to leave it now.

723. - So.. - Well, I should go then.

724. I have to finish all the paperwork to donate

725. Cece's estate before I fly out.

726. Wait. Where did you decide to leave the money?

727. I found a worthy cause.

728. Well, at least an annulment will be easier than a messy divorce.

729. You sure about this?

730. I can only have one marriage..

731. and this just isn't one anymore.

732. You okay?

733. That didn't sound too easy.

734. Well, it's, um, a lot easier knowing

735. how supportive you've been.

736. We both have a lot of making up to do.

737. I look forward to continuing

738. the process... this summer in the Hamptons.

739. I'm busy.

740. I never meant for you to get caught in the crossfire

741. of my battle with Blair.

742. I deleted the video, so no one knows about it

743. and no one got hurt.

744. And please don't act like you're innocent here.

745. I mean, it was mutual. We both used each other.

746. I was trying to escape my own pain, and you were trying to

747. destroy your best friend. Those are two different things.

748. I'm sorry for how it happened, but I love you, Dan.

749. And I don't think that you would've done what you did

750. if you didn't still have feelings for me.

751. And now there's nothing standing in the way of us.

752. Serena, there is no us.

753. There's only you.

754. And-and now that our parents are splitting up

755. I never have to see you again.

756. The French say, "Plus ca change

757. plus c'est la meme chose."

758. Sounds romantic.

759. Hey, can you meet me? I'm on my way.

760. But all it means is, "The more things change

761. the more they stay the same."

762. Hey. Sorry I'm late.

763. You have no idea how many signatures

764. it took for me to get you this money.

765. Are you sure you wanna do this?

766. Cece gave it to you. I'm just... giving it back.

767. Well, thank you.

768. If you ever need anything..

769. 'After Lily sabotaged my mom's defense'

770. I just need you to keep our agreement.

771. Take down Lily.

772. I'm looking forward to it.

773. But... I thought you were giving away your money

774. so you didn't become like the rest of your family?

775. I'm not.

776. You are.

777. Outsiders remain on the outside..

778. at least for now.

779. That is your third sigh

780. since the 7th arrondissement.

781. You having regrets about leaving

782. without speaking to Serena?

783. Not at all.

784. Those were, I love Paris, sighs.

785. I can't wait to start discussing

786. heel heights and hem lengths.

787. Good.

788. I wanna be sure that you're ready for this.

789. You don't have any loose ends to tie up back home?

790. Nothing's holding me back anymore.

791. I know what I want, and I'm gonna get it.

792. The queen Bascends to reign over a new kingdom.

793. Number 24 black.

794. Blackjack.

795. Puts us up $3 million.

796. Two more and we'll be able to buy our way

797. into the only game that can really help us

798. take down Bart Bass.

799. As long as the pit boss doesn't make you

800. for counting cards.

801. Place your bet.

802. Stay at 17.

803. And the wild cards just keep getting wilder.

804. This came from Diana Payne.

805. - Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

806. Dan Humphrey, come to whisk me away

807. 'for a rendezvous under the Tuscan sun?'

808. You're lucky you're on my free pass list.

809. Otherwise, Philip might've put up a fuss.

810. This invitation isn't about seduction, Georgina.

811. - It's about scandal. - Can't a girl have both?

812. I need your photographic memory and your passion

813. for social upheaval to help me write the book about

814. the Upper East Side..

815. the book I should've written from the beginning.

816. Mm, nothing like a scorned lover to scorch the Earth.

817. I can hardly wait.

818. But even the same characters

819. can start to play new power games.

820. And old stars can cease to shine.

821. S always said she wanted to be left alone.

822. Now she'll get her wish.

823. Damian sent me.

824. Do you have what I asked for?

825. Damian said you like to party.

826. I'm Zeke, by the way.

827. I don't care what your name is.

828. As far as I'm concerned

829. Serena van der Woodsen doesn't exist.

830. Is there a seat available?

831. Yeah. Take mine.

832. Thanks for the call.

833. You fought for me all year.

834. I've come to fight for you.

835. Will you be joining the game?

836. You said I always bet against you

837. but this time, I'm all in.

838. 'Your bet, sir?'

839. What did I say about letting the chips fall where they may?

840. See you next fall.

841. XOXO.

842. Gossip Girl.
