some oil from the Sudan.Copy !req
5. There was an embargo in
place, which made it illegal.Copy !req
6. Was anyone hurt?Copy !req
7. No.Copy !req
8. She said Bart
walked in with an envelope.Copy !req
9. And he's not about to show
you what's in the envelope.Copy !req
10. He won't, but someone
else might... Bruce Caplan.Copy !req
11. The Bass business manager?Copy !req
12. I'm not gonna let you
threaten our family ever again.Copy !req
13. Don't!Copy !req
14. You are indebted to me,
and I'm here to collect.Copy !req
15. Chuck, it was all my fault. He cornered me.Copy !req
16. My father?Copy !req
17. Are you sure that I'm the
one person you wanna be with?Copy !req
18. You have always been the one.Copy !req
19. Humphrey, where the hell have you been?Copy !req
20. I'm writing the Serena chapter.Copy !req
21. Well, even if we can't
put Bart behind bars,Copy !req
22. we'll still be together.Copy !req
23. We made a pact.Copy !req
24. We can't be together.Copy !req
25. And who am I?Copy !req
26. That's a secret I'll never tell.Copy !req
27. You know you love me.Copy !req
28. X.O.X.O., Gossip Girl.Copy !req
29. Gobble, gobble,
Upper East Siders.Copy !req
30. That's right. It's Thanksgiving again.Copy !req
31. And I hope you all brought your appetites,Copy !req
32. because today's the one day a yearCopy !req
33. you're supposed to count your blessings...Copy !req
34. I love the parade.Copy !req
35. And not your calories.Copy !req
36. I don't care whether you're
sick to your stomach...Copy !req
37. or simply on a liquid diet.Copy !req
38. This turkey day,Copy !req
39. I'm going to make sure
everyone eats their hearts out.Copy !req
40. Dorota, did you remember my
noise-canceling headphonesCopy !req
41. and my Bottega eye mask?Copy !req
42. Flying alone on the holidays
is like Chatroulette.Copy !req
43. So why go to Paris?Copy !req
44. We both know today is
most favorite day of year.Copy !req
45. Ah, yes, it is true.Copy !req
46. Thanksgiving does hold a
special place in my heart...Copy !req
47. and stomach... but I guess this yearCopy !req
48. a pumpkin macaroon will just have to do.Copy !req
49. But every Thanksgiving, you
try to visit Miss Eleanor.Copy !req
50. And this year, I'm
actually going to make it.Copy !req
51. Besides, we both know
that if I stay in town,Copy !req
52. I'll just be meddling in
other people's affairs,Copy !req
53. and I promised myself I
would not do that this year.Copy !req
54. Still no word from Mr.
Chuck since Pop-Up show?Copy !req
55. No, and I'm not going to call him either.Copy !req
56. Chuck only goes darker when I push him,Copy !req
57. so I'm gonna give him all
the time and space he needs.Copy !req
58. He'll snap out of his funk eventually.Copy !req
59. And you okay leaving Miss
Serena alone with Mr. Lonely Boy?Copy !req
60. Well, I don't want her back with
that backstabbing brooklynite,Copy !req
61. but now that we're best friends again,Copy !req
62. I have to just hold my tongueCopy !req
63. and let this ridiculous
relationship run its course.Copy !req
64. Like stomach flu.Copy !req
65. Yes, and until then,Copy !req
66. I will just play the supportive friend,Copy !req
67. which we both knowCopy !req
68. I'm much better at from the
other side of the Atlantic.Copy !req
69. Now vite, vite.Copy !req
70. Sweet potato casserole with
marshmallows and pecans! Yum!Copy !req
71. How that's a side dish and not
a dessert, I will never know.Copy !req
72. Serena, you have to see this
new hotel in Turks and Caicos.Copy !req
73. Bart and I are gonna practically
be sleeping on the beach tonight.Copy !req
74. You're not gonna be here for Thanksgiving?Copy !req
75. Well, after everything we went
through with Charles' vendetta,Copy !req
76. Bart thought we could use a
little R&R on Malcolm Beach.Copy !req
77. Oh!Copy !req
78. Now I just need to find outCopy !req
79. where Laryssa stored my
Missonis for the winter.Copy !req
80. Try Eric's closet.Copy !req
81. Mm.Copy !req
82. You know, this might
actually be a good thing.Copy !req
83. It'll just be the two of us.Copy !req
84. Or maybe we can invite everyone?Copy !req
85. We can invite Rufus,Copy !req
86. and since Bart's not
here, we can invite ChuckCopy !req
87. and then Nate and then Blair.Copy !req
88. I don't know.Copy !req
89. I mean, it's our first
Thanksgiving back together,Copy !req
90. and... and given our track
record with Thanksgivings,Copy !req
91. it might be kinda risky.Copy !req
92. Divorces have been filed, affairs revealed.Copy !req
93. Yes, but that was our parents, not us.Copy !req
94. Come on. They're not even gonna be here.Copy !req
95. Okay. I mean, if it's what
you really want, I'm in.Copy !req
96. Thank you.Copy !req
97. All right, so I'll go invite my dadCopy !req
98. and grab the world-famous
Humphrey stuffing recipe.Copy !req
99. Okay, well, I'll stop by Blair's,Copy !req
100. and then I'll go to the marketCopy !req
101. and try to upgrade for a bigger bird.Copy !req
102. Okay. Back here in a couple hours?Copy !req
103. Perfect.Copy !req
104. Where's Monkey?Copy !req
105. I found his crying at my door comforting.Copy !req
106. I had Ivan from housekeeping
take him for a walk.Copy !req
107. Why? Because you were too busyCopy !req
108. reading up on new ways to
betray your best friend?Copy !req
109. Chuck, you know how sorry I am.Copy !req
110. Bart's threatening to send me to prisonCopy !req
111. for cooking "The Spectator's" books.Copy !req
112. And I don't want to hurt you again,Copy !req
113. so I've been going over
these documents, just...Copy !req
114. trying to figure a way
out of this whole mess.Copy !req
115. Good luck with that.Copy !req
116. Bart Bass is a grand
master of manipulation.Copy !req
117. He has ruined me.Copy !req
118. You'll be child's play.Copy !req
119. My advice is to lie back
and think of england.Copy !req
120. Yeah, thanks for the help.Copy !req
121. If I could defeat my father,Copy !req
122. do you think I'd be here drinking alone,Copy !req
123. unable to be with the woman I love?Copy !req
124. Maybe you should do some researchCopy !req
125. into finding yourself
a hot tub time machineCopy !req
126. so you can go back and undo
your creative accounting.Copy !req
127. Serena.Copy !req
128. I'm so glad you're still here.Copy !req
129. So my Thanksgiving plans changed.Copy !req
130. Ohh. Let me guess.Copy !req
131. Humphrey left you high and
dry. Well, not to worry.Copy !req
132. I still have a free first
class companion ticket to ParisCopy !req
133. for anyone other than Dorota.Copy !req
134. Hmm.Copy !req
135. What? It is not my faultCopy !req
136. that Vanya took the kids to Minsk.Copy !req
137. No, Dan and I are great.Copy !req
138. Actually, we decided to
host Thanksgiving together,Copy !req
139. and I need you there.Copy !req
140. Miss Blair, Miss Eleanor is expecting you.Copy !req
141. You made promise to her and to self.Copy !req
142. Please, Blair,Copy !req
143. we really wanna spend
Thanksgiving with you,Copy !req
144. and I'm not gonna take no for answer.Copy !req
145. Okay. If that's what you really want,Copy !req
146. then I, as your friend,Copy !req
147. will be there to make sure
things run the way they should.Copy !req
148. Yay!Copy !req
149. Okay, well, I already texted Nate.Copy !req
150. Can you let Chuck know for me?Copy !req
151. Miss Blair giving Mr. Chuck space.Copy !req
152. Well, now that Paris is
canceled, everything is changed.Copy !req
153. Amazing.Copy !req
154. Okay, I'm gonna go to Pellegrini's,Copy !req
155. and I'll see you soon.Copy !req
156. What happened to no meddling this year?Copy !req
157. Did you hear her?Copy !req
158. She is getting domestic
with that wool-haired whiner.Copy !req
159. Four major holidays
stand between ThanksgivingCopy !req
160. and Serena being a June bride.Copy !req
161. Measures must be taken... drastic measures.Copy !req
162. Good to see you.Copy !req
163. What do you want, Blair?Copy !req
164. Oh, nothing. Just to
help those less fortunate,Copy !req
165. like I do everything Thanksgiving.Copy !req
166. Unless, of course, you're
no longer interested in Nate.Copy !req
167. I am, but I'm not moronic enoughCopy !req
168. to trust you to help me get him.Copy !req
169. Aw, that's too badCopy !req
170. because I think Serena
and Dan's ThanksgivingCopy !req
171. would be the perfect
opportunity for you to reconnect.Copy !req
172. Serena would never invite me.Copy !req
173. She's not exactly thankful
I screened her sex tapeCopy !req
174. for all of New York society.Copy !req
175. Well, you make a point,Copy !req
176. but Nate will never forgive
you unless you undo the damageCopy !req
177. between S. and your father.Copy !req
178. Except that I don't want them together.Copy !req
179. Well, you said yourselfCopy !req
180. that he's miserable without her.Copy !req
181. And besides, she's Serena Van Der Woodsen.Copy !req
182. He's a man.Copy !req
183. He's probably gonna go back to her anyway.Copy !req
184. So this just at least gives you the chanceCopy !req
185. to date Nate Archibald.Copy !req
186. Fine.Copy !req
187. Tell me what to do.Copy !req
188. Further instructions will come
forth from my avatar... Dorota.Copy !req
189. Shoo. Go.Copy !req
190. That's good. Go ahead.Copy !req
191. Georgina.Copy !req
192. How's Philip?Copy !req
193. Quit the small talk,
Humphrey. Give me the pages.Copy !req
194. Oh, that's gonna be tough
since I already messengeredCopy !req
195. the only hard copy to
Graydon's assistant at home.Copy !req
196. What?Copy !req
197. No one wants to read your vomit draft.Copy !req
198. Why didn't you let me
give you my notes first?Copy !req
199. Because you're not my editor.Copy !req
200. I am your everything.Copy !req
201. Don't you think I know
exactly what's going on here?Copy !req
202. You started this chapter over
the summer, skewering Serena,Copy !req
203. and then you moved in with herCopy !req
204. and you decided to write
a sniveling ValentineCopy !req
205. in hopes she would fall
madly in love with you.Copy !req
206. From the beginning, my goal with
this book was to tell the truth,Copy !req
207. and I haven't strayed from that.
So I'm sorry if you're upset,Copy !req
208. but you're just gonna have to waitCopy !req
209. for the chapter to go online tonight.Copy !req
210. Philip, get me the home address
of Graydon Carter's assistant.Copy !req
211. Hey. I was just thinking about you.Copy !req
212. You were? Well, I'm still grocery shopping.Copy !req
213. I think I may have overdone it a little.Copy !req
214. Who doesn't love leftovers?Copy !req
215. I'm guessing that means everybody's in.Copy !req
216. Yeah, they are.Copy !req
217. Oh, my God! Serena!Copy !req
218. Hey! Um, let me call you back.Copy !req
219. Serena. Hi.Copy !req
220. Hi.Copy !req
221. Seeing you is the first thing
I've been thankful for in weeks.Copy !req
222. I owe you an apology.Copy !req
223. Chuck. Chuck, wake up.Copy !req
224. Seriously, Chuck, wake up.Copy !req
225. Bruce Caplan is dead.Copy !req
226. The guy was a two-bit crook. Who cares?Copy !req
227. You should. I just got off
the phone with his secretary.Copy !req
228. Apparently, Bruce died only a
few days after our last meeting.Copy !req
229. He fell off the Bass Enterprises yacht.Copy !req
230. Is there a point to this sob story?Copy !req
231. Your father probably
figured out that it was BruceCopy !req
232. who tipped us off to the
microfilm in the painting.Copy !req
233. Do you honestly think that Bart
had nothing to do with his death?Copy !req
234. Even if he did,Copy !req
235. I promise you he covered his tracksCopy !req
236. or destroyed the evidence
or had Lily do it for him.Copy !req
237. Now get out of my room.Copy !req
238. Seems like Bass is basking in his misery.Copy !req
239. Looks like I'm not the only oneCopy !req
240. who goes into hiding on Thanksgiving.Copy !req
241. Ahem.Copy !req
242. Um... step aside.Copy !req
243. Are you deaf? I said move it, Buster!Copy !req
244. I'm sorry, Ms. Waldorf,Copy !req
245. but Mr. Bass gave us specific instructions.Copy !req
246. You're no longer welcome at The Empire.Copy !req
247. And this year's best dishCopy !req
248. is going to be served by yours truly.Copy !req
249. So how's life been treating you
since I treated you so badly?Copy !req
250. Better than I thought,
honestly. What about you?Copy !req
251. Um, I'm good. I just got back from Uganda.Copy !req
252. We're supplying vitamins to all
the hospitals there and, um...Copy !req
253. He's been terrible.Copy !req
254. Okay. That's embarrassing,
but maybe a... a little true.Copy !req
255. I'm sorry. We all know I have
a knack for humiliating people.Copy !req
256. Uh, excuse me. Van Der Woodsen.Copy !req
257. Spence.Copy !req
258. I'm... I'm really sorry
about Cotillion, too.Copy !req
259. I kind of freaked out when
I thought my dad loved youCopy !req
260. more than he loved me, but I
realize now he loved us both.Copy !req
261. And this just keeps getting
more uncomfortable by the minute.Copy !req
262. Yeah, I think that night
was weird for all of us,Copy !req
263. but I'm glad that we have the holidaysCopy !req
264. to have a fresh start.Copy !req
265. Ah.Copy !req
266. Thank you.Copy !req
267. Wow. Looks like you got the last one.Copy !req
268. Thanks.Copy !req
269. Wow. Are we really so patheticCopy !req
270. that we're having a
chicken on Thanksgiving?Copy !req
271. We were supposed to be in Amsterdam,Copy !req
272. but someone didn't finish
her college applications.Copy !req
273. I know, but doesn't that look so delicious?Copy !req
274. It's a raw turkey. It
looks disgusting, actually.Copy !req
275. Um, but you know what?Copy !req
276. Nobody should spend Thanksgiving
eating chicken alone.Copy !req
277. So... so why don't you
two join us for dinner?Copy !req
278. I mean, I... I think we
can spare some turkey.Copy !req
279. And... and the Van Der
Woodsens do have a long historyCopy !req
280. of inviting bump-ins.Copy !req
281. What the hell took you so long?Copy !req
282. And good morning to you, too, Blair.Copy !req
283. Chuck banned me from The Empire?Copy !req
284. I mean, he's banished me before,Copy !req
285. but that was when we were on a sex fast.Copy !req
286. What do you want me to
say? Chuck has hit bottom.Copy !req
287. All he does now is drink in
bed and argue with Monkey.Copy !req
288. Well, I had no idea it was that bad.Copy !req
289. Yeah, it's bad. He's even
giving up on defeating Bart.Copy !req
290. Well, that can't happen.
We can't let Bart win.Copy !req
291. We have to reinspire him.Copy !req
292. What do you think I've been trying to do?Copy !req
293. Chuck didn't even care when I told himCopy !req
294. that Bruce Caplan mysteriously drowned.Copy !req
295. His dentist?Copy !req
296. No, that's Brad Caplan.Copy !req
297. Bruce is the Bass business managerCopy !req
298. who apparently fell off Bart's yacht.Copy !req
299. It's not a coincidence that
one of the only people who knewCopy !req
300. about Bart's illegal oil
trading died in a freak accident.Copy !req
301. Especially since Sheikh Hassan,
the man who sold Bart the oil,Copy !req
302. died in an accident, too.Copy !req
303. I mean, maybe if we can connect the two,Copy !req
304. we can take that to the authorities.Copy !req
305. Or at least get Lily to
see who Bart really is.Copy !req
306. I have an idea.Copy !req
307. Al I need is a wampum
pouch, a push-up bra,Copy !req
308. and all of Bart's computer passwords.Copy !req
309. Dan! Happy Thanksgiving.Copy !req
310. You, too.Copy !req
311. Dusting off the old 6-string. I like it.Copy !req
312. Hey.Copy !req
313. As a matter of fact, I'm on my way outCopy !req
314. to a benefit concert Lisa's
throwing at the Bandshell.Copy !req
315. You should come with. It's
a hormone-free potluck.Copy !req
316. That sounds tempting,Copy !req
317. but I'm here to invite
you to a Lily-free dinnerCopy !req
318. that Serena and I are hosting
at the Van Der Woodsens'.Copy !req
319. Jenny told me you two were back
together last time we skyped.Copy !req
320. You can say it. I know.
I know you disapprove.Copy !req
321. I guess I'm just surprised
you haven't learned by now.Copy !req
322. Uh, learned... learned what?Copy !req
323. That we Humphrey men
don't stand a real chanceCopy !req
324. when it comes to Van Der Woodsen women.Copy !req
325. Is this the
speech where you tell meCopy !req
326. that we're from different worlds?Copy !req
327. Because, you know, I...
I did... I wrote the book.Copy !req
328. Two, actually.Copy !req
329. Women like Lily and SerenaCopy !req
330. are never gonna respect guys like us.Copy !req
331. All the love songs I wrote
Lily made no difference.Copy !req
332. Poetry isn't what she wants.Copy !req
333. No matter how much we love Lily and Serena,Copy !req
334. they're always gonna
choose guys like Bart Bass.Copy !req
335. So maybe the trick is to become Bart Bass.Copy !req
336. Yeah, but neither of us could ever do that.Copy !req
337. And that's a good thing.Copy !req
338. Bart's cold and calculating.Copy !req
339. A reptile.Copy !req
340. Yeah, well, that snake is
spending Thanksgiving with Lily,Copy !req
341. and you're not.Copy !req
342. I should go.Copy !req
343. Daphne, right?Copy !req
344. Graydon's assistant at "Vanity Fair"?Copy !req
345. Georgina Sparks. We've spoken
on the phone ad nauseam.Copy !req
346. I just got off the phone with Dan Humphrey.Copy !req
347. I'm done working on Thanksgiving.Copy !req
348. Daphne,Copy !req
349. I, of all people, understand the challengeCopy !req
350. facing a young mother in the big city.Copy !req
351. I, too, have a little rug rat,Copy !req
352. and it is a constant struggle
to balance family and career.Copy !req
353. So, please, mother to mother,Copy !req
354. I need to see a copy
of Dan's Serena chapter.Copy !req
355. You know that I'm not
allowed to give out copiesCopy !req
356. of writer's submissions.Copy !req
357. Now if you don't mind...Copy !req
358. Oh. But I do... mind.Copy !req
359. Why don't you make itCopy !req
360. easy on yourself and
your little bed-wetterCopy !req
361. and just give me a sneak peek?Copy !req
362. No. Ask Dan if you wanna
read his Serena chapters.Copy !req
363. Chapters? There's more than one?Copy !req
364. I thought we were done, but
he just sent me something else.Copy !req
365. Did somebody order a Thanksgiving spread?Copy !req
366. You just cost my dim-witted
doorman his holiday bonus.Copy !req
367. Ohh. Don't blame him. I said
you called for a stripper,Copy !req
368. and obviously I'm a convincing one.Copy !req
369. I've come to kidnap youCopy !req
370. and bring you to Serena
and Dan's Thanksgiving.Copy !req
371. I'm not going anywhere,Copy !req
372. but you are, unless you
want me to call security.Copy !req
373. Don't be a Grumpy Gus.Copy !req
374. Bart and Lily won't be there.Copy !req
375. Come on. Let's get you cleaned up.Copy !req
376. What part of our last conversationCopy !req
377. did you not understand?Copy !req
378. As long as I can't defeat my father,Copy !req
379. we can never be together.Copy !req
380. Well...Copy !req
381. just because we can't
live happily ever afterCopy !req
382. doesn't mean that we can't have
a little fun once in a while.Copy !req
383. We made a pact.Copy !req
384. Need I remind you what that means?Copy !req
385. But it's too long since Monaco.Copy !req
386. Pocahontas needs her John Smith.Copy !req
387. I always thought of myselfCopy !req
388. as more of a John Rolfe kind of man.Copy !req
389. That's my Chuck. You can play both...Copy !req
390. after dinner.Copy !req
391. And you're sure Lily and Bart are gone?Copy !req
392. They are, and now...Copy !req
393. so is my appetite.Copy !req
394. When was the last time you showered?Copy !req
395. Only if you join me.Copy !req
396. Mnh-mnh.Copy !req
397. Something smells divine.Copy !req
398. Oh, that would be Dorota's candied yams.Copy !req
399. Uh...Copy !req
400. aren't you two supposed
to be on a white sand beachCopy !req
401. where no one pays capital gains tax?Copy !req
402. Tropical storm. Our flight was delayed.Copy !req
403. So it looks like we'll be
staying for dinner after all,Copy !req
404. if we're not imposing.Copy !req
405. Uh, no. No, not at all. I
mean, we have plenty of food.Copy !req
406. We'll just...Copy !req
407. we're gonna need to change
up the seating arrangements.Copy !req
408. Mom, you're here.Copy !req
409. Well, we got rained out.Copy !req
410. Darling, you went grocery
shopping. I'm so proud.Copy !req
411. Looks like we're gonna
need to set two more places.Copy !req
412. Um, actually, make that four.Copy !req
413. Look who I ran into at the grocery store.Copy !req
414. Blair's plan worked perfectly.Copy !req
415. Eh. Oh. How are you?Copy !req
416. Hello.Copy !req
417. - Hi.
- Nice to meet you, too.Copy !req
418. Pleased to meet you.Copy !req
419. Mmm. Yum.Copy !req
420. Why are you mad? I didn't
decide to close the airport.Copy !req
421. Lily and Bart are the least of my concerns.Copy !req
422. Oh, you're mad that I
invited Steven to dinner?Copy !req
423. No, no, I'm thrilledCopy !req
424. that you invited your ex
to our Thanksgiving dinner.Copy !req
425. I was hoping maybe Ben or Colin
or Carter could stop by laterCopy !req
426. for apple crostata.Copy !req
427. Oh, come on, Dan.Copy !req
428. I only invited them because
they had nowhere else to go.Copy !req
429. What would you have done?Copy !req
430. Called you, given you a heads-up.Copy !req
431. In an equal partnership, you're supposed toCopy !req
432. take the other person's
feelings into consideration.Copy !req
433. I'm sorry. But it just...
it happened so quickly.Copy !req
434. And honestly, I didn't think you'd care.Copy !req
435. That you invited the guyCopy !req
436. you were ready to get
engaged to at Cotillion?Copy !req
437. Why are you being so insecure?Copy !req
438. May I take your coats?Copy !req
439. Look... I'm fine that your ex is here.Copy !req
440. 'Cause you invited her.Copy !req
441. But we're together now.Copy !req
442. I think your stuffing's burning.Copy !req
443. I'm so glad you two could make it.Copy !req
444. Yeah, everything looks wonderful.Copy !req
445. Doesn't everything look wonderful?Copy !req
446. The bar certainly does.Copy !req
447. He'll perk up. He's just dehydrated.Copy !req
448. And is that your old beau
looking more handsome than ever?Copy !req
449. It's so generous of you and DanCopy !req
450. to invite him to your Thanksgiving.Copy !req
451. I'm not sure Dan feels the same way.Copy !req
452. What are they...Copy !req
453. Tropical storm.Copy !req
454. Hopefully Chuck can hold his
tongue until after the pie?Copy !req
455. Have you seen Nate?Copy !req
456. No, not yet.Copy !req
457. Charles?Copy !req
458. Lily. What are you doing here?Copy !req
459. I live here, and I'm hoping
that your presence todayCopy !req
460. means that you're going
to apologize to your fatherCopy !req
461. and put this feud behind you.Copy !req
462. The problem with putting Bart behind meCopy !req
463. is that then he can stab me in the back.Copy !req
464. Who invited him?Copy !req
465. Well, it is Thanksgiving.Copy !req
466. Let's try to have a nice meal together.Copy !req
467. I think now Charles has
no evidence against you,Copy !req
468. so he can't hurt you anymore.Copy !req
469. I'd like to make sure of that.Copy !req
470. Hey.Copy !req
471. I know I'm the last person
you expected to see today,Copy !req
472. but my dad and I ran into
Serena at the grocery store.Copy !req
473. And she couldn't helpCopy !req
474. but adopt a couple of
strays for Thanksgiving.Copy !req
475. Pretty much.Copy !req
476. So can we talk?Copy !req
477. Don't worry. I'm not
pregnant. I just miss you.Copy !req
478. Sage, look, now isn't...Copy !req
479. Nathaniel.Copy !req
480. You know what?Copy !req
481. On second thought, right
now is a great time.Copy !req
482. We'll go upstairs.Copy !req
483. Dan, right? Steven.Copy !req
484. I hope there's more than one
place card for "Serena's ex"Copy !req
485. Uh, y... you know what?Copy !req
486. I'm actually not Serena's ex anymore.Copy !req
487. You're kidding?Copy !req
488. No, no, no.Copy !req
489. This is... this is our
Thanksgiving dinner together.Copy !req
490. Well, enjoy it, because I have
a feeling it'll be your last.Copy !req
491. What?Copy !req
492. Do you need me to spell it out for you?Copy !req
493. The sex tape blew up, I broke up with her,Copy !req
494. and then she ran to you because
she's terrified to be alone.Copy !req
495. Y... you don't
know anything about Serena.Copy !req
496. Or I... I'm sorry. Do you
still think her name is Sabrina?Copy !req
497. I know that she needs
someone to take care of her,Copy !req
498. and I know you can't.Copy !req
499. Oh, yeah, but you and
your omega-3 empire can?Copy !req
500. Well, I did all summer,
and we were great together.Copy !req
501. I think we still could be.Copy !req
502. Happy Thanksgiving.Copy !req
503. Masterful work, Dorota.Copy !req
504. If things continue to
progress at this rate,Copy !req
505. Humphrey will be gone by tomorrow.Copy !req
506. Chuck, where are you going?Copy !req
507. If you think tricking me
into making up with my fatherCopy !req
508. is going to allow us to be
together, you're mistaken.Copy !req
509. I have to defeat him.Copy !req
510. Bruce Caplan and the Sheikh are both dead.Copy !req
511. That... that can't be a
coincidence. I have a plan.Copy !req
512. How many times do I have to tell youCopy !req
513. Bart is not stupid enough
to leave any evidence?Copy !req
514. We don't need a smoking gun.Copy !req
515. We just need a single thread
to tie the two deaths together.Copy !req
516. Bruce Caplan was on your father's yacht.Copy !req
517. And... and maybe the Sheikh
was on his way to see Bart.Copy !req
518. Or maybe Bart had sent the car.Copy !req
519. Well, that kind of information
could be hiding in the open.Copy !req
520. A leasing agreement, a logbook.Copy !req
521. But the... the FBI aren't gonna
take a circumstantial theory.Copy !req
522. The only person we need to
convince that Bart is a murdererCopy !req
523. is Lily.Copy !req
524. And Lily's been by his side at every turn.Copy !req
525. Lily could care less about an
oil embargo or a faked death.Copy !req
526. But a real one? Or two?Copy !req
527. If only we could get onto
the Bass Industries server...Copy !req
528. but we need a password.Copy !req
529. Mm. And if only I had
texted your Uncle JackCopy !req
530. to do a little bribing and
blackmailing to get them.Copy !req
531. And if only Nate was upstairs
right now, trying them all.Copy !req
532. You're amazing.Copy !req
533. I know. Now go see if he's found anything.Copy !req
534. Hey, Dominick Dummy.Copy !req
535. Georgina.Copy !req
536. No Van Der Woodsen family holidayCopy !req
537. would be complete without you.Copy !req
538. Hmm. Keep your flattery in your pants.Copy !req
539. I know you sent in two Serena
chapters to "Vanity Fair."Copy !req
540. I did. They're both the truth,Copy !req
541. and I'm still not showing you either.Copy !req
542. I don't need to read them.Copy !req
543. Obviously one is the stupid Serena serenadeCopy !req
544. that you've been composing
since ninth grade,Copy !req
545. and the other is the piercing exposeCopy !req
546. that you started to write over the summer.Copy !req
547. Don't be an idiot.Copy !req
548. Do you wanna win, or do
you just wanna win Serena?Copy !req
549. Serena? Dinner's ready.Copy !req
550. There is no winning without Serena.Copy !req
551. Dinner's ready.Copy !req
552. Daphne, it's Dan. Hi.Copy !req
553. Uh, yeah, I've decided which
chapter I wanna publish.Copy !req
554. Oh, Dorota, this looks amazing.Copy !req
555. I may need to have a second plate!Copy !req
556. Oh! And the toasted almonds
are such a lovely surprise.Copy !req
557. Speaking of surprises,Copy !req
558. I was so sorry to hear
about Bruce Caplan's passing.Copy !req
559. Uh, w... I had no idea.Copy !req
560. What happened? He was so young.Copy !req
561. Drowning.Copy !req
562. He was sailing on the Bass
yacht and just fell overboardCopy !req
563. in broad daylight.Copy !req
564. You'd think someone would've
jumped in to save him.Copy !req
565. My God.Copy !req
566. How tragic for his family.Copy !req
567. And for Bruce.Copy !req
568. It's odd that Bart never mentioned it.Copy !req
569. You know, I... I wanted to
thank you again for inviting us.Copy !req
570. It... it means a lot to Sage and to me.Copy !req
571. Yeah, of course. I... I'm
sorry. I feel terrible though.Copy !req
572. Up you have enough to eat.
I forgot you're gluten-free.Copy !req
573. I'll be fine.Copy !req
574. You know, I... I... I'm
more concerned about you.Copy !req
575. Why? I eat everything.Copy !req
576. No, I... I'm talking aboutCopy !req
577. you getting back together with Dan.Copy !req
578. You know, I... I know I hurt you, but...Copy !req
579. I mean, this kinda representsCopy !req
580. everything you said you
were trying to escape from.Copy !req
581. I mean, he wrote all
those horrible articlesCopy !req
582. about you and your friends.Copy !req
583. Yeah, but he didn't write one about me.Copy !req
584. I know that Dan has made
his mistakes, but so have I.Copy !req
585. Me, too.Copy !req
586. The biggest being pushing you away.Copy !req
587. I'm still in love with you, Serena.Copy !req
588. We deserve another chance.Copy !req
589. I'm sorry, but I'm in love with Dan.Copy !req
590. You're not.Copy !req
591. He's your rebound from me.Copy !req
592. No, you were my rebound from him.Copy !req
593. I left the cityCopy !req
594. because I thought he
wanted to be with Blair.Copy !req
595. But Dan is my first love.Copy !req
596. He'll always be.Copy !req
597. You know, maybe I got it
right at cotillion after all.Copy !req
598. Steven...Copy !req
599. Nate, I came up here to make out,Copy !req
600. not to watch you and Chuck play Wikileaks.Copy !req
601. Uh-huh.Copy !req
602. This isn't gonna work. It has
to be at least nine characters.Copy !req
603. Try this.Copy !req
604. There's nothing confidential here.Copy !req
605. It's all just general files.Copy !req
606. Doesn't matter.Copy !req
607. Just look for travel and living expenses,Copy !req
608. leasing agreements, anything overseas.Copy !req
609. Hey, just give us a second.Copy !req
610. Give me 30, and I'll leave you alone.Copy !req
611. Amuse the young lady,
Nathaniel. I've got this.Copy !req
612. Okay, I'm sorry.Copy !req
613. Go.Copy !req
614. Admit you missed me.Copy !req
615. It's okay. I don't care if you watch.Copy !req
616. She's a keeper, Nate.Copy !req
617. And, yes, I can attest to
the fact that he missed you,Copy !req
618. everything has really fallen apart for himCopy !req
619. since you two broke up.Copy !req
620. Yeah, so I should probably help Chuck.Copy !req
621. I did something that
I'm not too proud of...Copy !req
622. Wait. I think I've got something.Copy !req
623. Well...Copy !req
624. it isn't line-caught blue marlin,Copy !req
625. but it doesn't look half-bad.Copy !req
626. Lily?Copy !req
627. I just heard about Bruce Caplan.Copy !req
628. Yes. Tragic news.Copy !req
629. Who told you?Copy !req
630. Speaking of Bruce, I heard
he drowned like a rock.Copy !req
631. Or at least had them tied to his ankles.Copy !req
632. Charles, show some respect.Copy !req
633. Yeah, maybe we should take
a moment to remember Bruce,Copy !req
634. who died falling off your yacht.Copy !req
635. And Sheikh Hassan,Copy !req
636. whose Bass Industries-provided
car burst into flames.Copy !req
637. I hate it when that happens.Copy !req
638. Bart, is that true?Copy !req
639. I have no idea what kind
of car he was driving.Copy !req
640. Oh, I think Chuck could shed
some light on that. Right?Copy !req
641. Mm.Copy !req
642. Ahem.Copy !req
643. Bentley W12,Copy !req
644. provided by Bass Enterprises.Copy !req
645. The leasing agreement, hot off the press.Copy !req
646. So what if we provided the Sheikh's cars?Copy !req
647. We're certainly not responsibleCopy !req
648. for every mechanical malfunction.Copy !req
649. So it's just a coincidenceCopy !req
650. that the two men who
could've sent you to prisonCopy !req
651. happen to die in transportation
you so generously provided them?Copy !req
652. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna freshen up.Copy !req
653. If you
done th problem number one,Copy !req
654. problem number two needs meddling.Copy !req
655. Have you noticed Mr. Steven has left?Copy !req
656. I'll be right back.Copy !req
657. Hey, thank you again for postponing Paris.Copy !req
658. Did I see Steven leave?Copy !req
659. Yes. Do you know that he tried
to get back together with me?Copy !req
660. Oh. Well, you must be in seventh heaven.Copy !req
661. Deciding to take the
evening apart to consider it?Copy !req
662. B., you know that Dan's the one.Copy !req
663. I've been holding my tongueCopy !req
664. because we're finally friends again.Copy !req
665. And, uh, the only thing I care aboutCopy !req
666. is that you are happy and in love.Copy !req
667. But Dan Humphrey is not the one.Copy !req
668. I don't want to lose our
friendship again either,Copy !req
669. so I'd appreciate it if
you didn't say any more.Copy !req
670. He is a self-promoting hipster weaselCopy !req
671. who's thrown every one of
his friends under the bus,Copy !req
672. and I'm not going to sit byCopy !req
673. and wait for him to do it to you, too.Copy !req
674. I know in your twisted but loving wayCopy !req
675. you're trying to be protective.Copy !req
676. But you're wrong about Dan.Copy !req
677. So please just accept him,Copy !req
678. and this'll be the best Thanksgiving ever.Copy !req
679. Lily, please.Copy !req
680. This is just another one of Chuck's games.Copy !req
681. When I asked you about the oil deal,Copy !req
682. you promised me that no one got hurt.Copy !req
683. And no one did.Copy !req
684. At least not by me.Copy !req
685. So Bruce and the Sheikh's death
were just pure coincidence?Copy !req
686. Yes.Copy !req
687. Are you questioning me?Copy !req
688. Maybe I should start.Copy !req
689. All I did was protect you.Copy !req
690. By lying to me.Copy !req
691. I never lied to you.Copy !req
692. I told you, no one got hurt.Copy !req
693. You're hurting me right now.Copy !req
694. Chuck is just getting to you,Copy !req
695. and he won't stop until I make him.Copy !req
696. I just wanna thank you all for joining usCopy !req
697. for our first Thanksgiving
together as a couple.Copy !req
698. Even Georgina, who I
didn't actually invite.Copy !req
699. But... welcome.Copy !req
700. So to many more yearsCopy !req
701. of... of love, happiness, and good friends.Copy !req
702. Cheers.Copy !req
703. Um...Copy !req
704. well...Copy !req
705. I, too, have something
to be grateful for...Copy !req
706. freedom of the press.Copy !req
707. If you'll all take a look at your phones,Copy !req
708. you will soon realize that
my protege Daniel HumphreyCopy !req
709. has just released the latest
installment of his serial...Copy !req
710. a chapter on our very own Serena.Copy !req
711. The right
chapter, thank you very much.Copy !req
712. What's she talking about?Copy !req
713. "Serena Van Der Woodsen...
golden girl falls from grace."Copy !req
714. "A faux love story."Copy !req
715. "Serena is nothing. She's a golden shell.Copy !req
716. Give her love, and she'll
do anything you want."Copy !req
717. Serena, I know you're upset.Copy !req
718. "With daddy issues like these,Copy !req
719. it's not hard to push the right buttons.Copy !req
720. And once you do,Copy !req
721. the most powerful girl
on the Upper East SideCopy !req
722. has no power at all."Copy !req
723. I understand if you would've
written this in the spring.Copy !req
724. You were so mad at me then.Copy !req
725. But why would you write this now?Copy !req
726. Why... why not write it now?Copy !req
727. It's no less true than it was then.Copy !req
728. Okay, I'm sorry. I must be confused.Copy !req
729. I mean, has everything that's
happened since CotillionCopy !req
730. been a lie?Copy !req
731. The... the Vespa? The bar?Copy !req
732. Did... did you ask someone
to stop the elevator?Copy !req
733. Vanya.Copy !req
734. I told him I was trying to win you back.Copy !req
735. But everything I've said about how I feelCopy !req
736. is the truth.Copy !req
737. No, that's... that's not possible.Copy !req
738. That doesn't make sense.Copy !req
739. You couldn't say these things
about me if you loved me.Copy !req
740. I invited you into my
home, Dan, and my world,Copy !req
741. and... and then you just humiliate me.Copy !req
742. That is the issue.Copy !req
743. It's "my world".Copy !req
744. Oh, come on. It's a figure of speech.Copy !req
745. No, it has always been your world,Copy !req
746. and you've never let me forget it.Copy !req
747. I've always been a visitor...
the poor kid from BrooklynCopy !req
748. who you've never seen as an equal to you.Copy !req
749. Okay, so this is your payback?Copy !req
750. Do you feel better about
riding the subway to schoolCopy !req
751. since you made a fool of me and everyone?Copy !req
752. What I did is no worseCopy !req
753. than what all your friends
do to each other every day.Copy !req
754. You try to ruin each other,Copy !req
755. and then you sit down for ThanksgivingCopy !req
756. and you... call yourselves family.Copy !req
757. You were supposed to be different.Copy !req
758. I used to be. Got me nowhere.Copy !req
759. So now I'm the same.Copy !req
760. Good-bye, Dan.Copy !req
761. Are you okay?Copy !req
762. I don't know.Copy !req
763. But you can gloat. You were right.Copy !req
764. For the first time ever, I'm sorry I was.Copy !req
765. Well, 90% sorry.Copy !req
766. 10% of me is glad I was right.Copy !req
767. Thanksgiving is ruined once again.Copy !req
768. Are you kidding?Copy !req
769. What is Thanksgiving
without a side of drama?Copy !req
770. And pie.Copy !req
771. Apple or pumpkin?Copy !req
772. Both.Copy !req
773. Lily.Copy !req
774. Um...Copy !req
775. I'm fine. I, um, I just
need some fresh air.Copy !req
776. Maybe you should sit down. I
can get you a glass of water.Copy !req
777. Oh, Charles, I forgot how sweet you are.Copy !req
778. The only thing that matters is
that you finally know the truth.Copy !req
779. I do, and I'm sorry.Copy !req
780. What on earth do you have to be sorry for?Copy !req
781. For believing all of your lies.Copy !req
782. No. Actually, I was...Copy !req
783. just going to tell Charles how sorry I amCopy !req
784. for trying to force a reconciliationCopy !req
785. between the two of you.Copy !req
786. I know that will never happen, and...Copy !req
787. I should have accepted it sooner.Copy !req
788. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Lily.Copy !req
789. I promise it'll get better.Copy !req
790. Nate and I survived both our chapters.Copy !req
791. It didn't work.Copy !req
792. Hey, Dan, before you go...Copy !req
793. That was from all of us.Copy !req
794. Daniel.Copy !req
795. I just wanted to sayCopy !req
796. I was impressed with your
latest literary offering.Copy !req
797. You've restored my
faith in your generation.Copy !req
798. If you ever need anything, give a call.Copy !req
799. Do not
leave me alone with them.Copy !req
800. The last time I attended a shunning,Copy !req
801. I froze my zhopa off in Siberia.Copy !req
802. Oh, it can get just as cold around here.Copy !req
803. You think they hate me?Copy !req
804. They fear you. Welcome
to the Upper East Side.Copy !req
805. Mind if I join you?Copy !req
806. Not at all.Copy !req
807. It's been a trying night.Copy !req
808. I was thinking about taking
a few days at Miraval,Copy !req
809. if you don't mind.Copy !req
810. Sounds like a perfect idea.Copy !req
811. Hey. What's wrong?Copy !req
812. Who called?Copy !req
813. Mm. Nobody.Copy !req
814. Oh. Okay, we need to
work on your poker face.Copy !req
815. You're not fooling anyone.Copy !req
816. Mmm. Like Chuck said,Copy !req
817. it hasn't been a great time for me.Copy !req
818. Okay. So?Copy !req
819. Tell me what's going
on. Who was on the phone?Copy !req
820. Look...Copy !req
821. it was Bart Bass.Copy !req
822. A few months ago, I made a mistakeCopy !req
823. with "The Spectator" finances.Copy !req
824. You know, the kind that
sends you to prison.Copy !req
825. Bart knows, and he's using it as blackmailCopy !req
826. to turn me against Chuck.Copy !req
827. Well, there must be some way out of it.Copy !req
828. No, there isn't,Copy !req
829. because I'm guilty.Copy !req
830. And if... you wanna leave
now, then I totally understand.Copy !req
831. Are you kidding?Copy !req
832. Now you're the good guy and the bad boy.Copy !req
833. I'm not going anywhere.Copy !req
834. They kicked you out, didn't they?Copy !req
835. I saw your piece on Serena.Copy !req
836. You let me off easy by comparison.Copy !req
837. All I did was tell the truth.Copy !req
838. Your truth.Copy !req
839. Everybody has a version,Copy !req
840. or way of delivering it.Copy !req
841. It wouldn't have been my choice.Copy !req
842. Well, maybe that's why
Lily doesn't respect you.Copy !req
843. So is this how you become Bart Bass?Copy !req
844. I did what I had to do.Copy !req
