Gossip girl here...
your one and only source
2
00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:06,310
into the scandalous lives of manhattan's elite.
(kati) you'll never believe what's on "gossip girl."
3
00:00:07,650 --> 00:00:09,500
(isabel) someone saw serena
getting off a train
4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,690
at grand central. I thought everything
was good between us.
5
00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:15,310
It was, before i found out you had
sex with my boyfriend.
I didn't come back for you.
6
00:00:15,490 --> 00:00:17,810
Look, blair's my best friend,
and you're her boyfriend,
7
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:20,260
and she loves you.
You'd really go out with
some guy you don't know?
8
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:23,780
Well, he can't be worse than the
guys i do know.
If you want to be a part of this world, jenny,
9
00:00:23,950 --> 00:00:26,670
you need to decide if all this is worth it.
(jenny) get off. Stop.
10
00:00:26,830 --> 00:00:28,810
Hey! That is my little sister!
11
00:00:30,882 --> 00:00:34,097
Bendel's is interested in carrying my line.
12
00:00:34,297 --> 00:00:36,462
'Cause more people
should be like you, mother.
13
00:00:36,467 --> 00:00:39,007
Eleanor waldorf is gearing up
to take her company public,
14
00:00:39,167 --> 00:00:40,227
and i've been courting her for months
15
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:42,037
to let me handle the deal.
Then you should get it.
16
00:00:42,217 --> 00:00:44,447
I will get it,
if you just help me out a little bit.
17
00:00:44,627 --> 00:00:47,777
Spotted... s.
And lonely boy macking in the meat packing.
18
00:00:47,937 --> 00:00:49,467
Opposites do attract,
19
00:00:49,657 --> 00:00:00,396
but for how long?
20
00:00:00,397 --> 00:00:00,438
And who am i?
21
00:00:00,479 --> 00:00:00,520
That's a secret i'll never tell.
22
00:00:00,561 --> 00:00:00,602
You know you love me.
23
00:00:00,643 --> 00:00:00,684
X.o.x.o., gossip girl.

26
00:01:04,097 --> 00:01:07,747
long ago, when european royals
grew bored with palace balls,
27
00:01:07,907 --> 00:01:11,157
they took a page from the peons
and added some pageantry.
28
00:01:11,337 --> 00:01:14,177
Couture and canapés are just
another saturday night
29
00:01:14,337 --> 00:01:16,057
until you add a mask,
30
00:01:16,237 --> 00:01:19,007
but preparing for a ball
is an event in itself,
31
00:01:19,187 --> 00:01:21,837
which is why queens
invented handmaidens.
32
00:01:22,017 --> 00:01:23,217
So the dresses should be delivered,
33
00:01:23,377 --> 00:01:25,837
and i'll take the small stuff with me.
Which one's yours?
34
00:01:25,997 --> 00:01:28,327
Oh, no. I'm just helping blair,
35
00:01:28,517 --> 00:01:30,417
but i mean, you know, we'll see.
36
00:01:30,597 --> 00:01:33,327
Well, here's hoping.
37
00:01:37,407 --> 00:01:40,457
We'll put it on blair's tab. Oh, no, no, no.
38
00:01:40,627 --> 00:01:43,317
The girls at that party are my best customers.
39
00:01:43,477 --> 00:01:45,197
Why not show off my latest wares?
40
00:01:45,357 --> 00:01:47,287
Just return it after the ball.
41
00:01:47,447 --> 00:01:49,947
So kati mentioned something
about a custom-made corset,
42
00:01:50,087 --> 00:01:51,697
and i hear there are wigs involved?
43
00:01:51,857 --> 00:01:54,447
It's a masquerade.
You have to conceal your identity,
44
00:01:54,627 --> 00:01:57,797
but i do have something special
planned for nate tonight.
45
00:01:57,967 --> 00:02:00,087
It's a game. It's a scavenger hunt.
46
00:02:00,277 --> 00:02:02,447
Nate starts the night with a clue,
which leads him
47
00:02:02,617 --> 00:02:06,307
to a lady-in-waiting, who gives
him a clue to the next lady... wait.
Hold on. You have ladies now?
48
00:02:06,487 --> 00:02:09,257
If he finds me before midnight
when the masks come off,
49
00:02:09,427 --> 00:02:12,097
he can claim his prize.
And what's that?
50
00:02:12,667 --> 00:02:16,647
Oh. Yeah, right. Sorry.
51
00:02:17,687 --> 00:02:18,687
I just figured
52
00:02:18,877 --> 00:02:21,577
that after everything that's happened,
53
00:02:21,757 --> 00:02:25,027
or hasn't happened,
54
00:02:25,197 --> 00:02:28,027
i should find some way to make it special.
55
00:02:28,197 --> 00:02:30,787
Well, that's really romantic, blair.
56
00:02:30,967 --> 00:02:32,357
Really.
57
00:02:33,637 --> 00:02:35,887
Look, um, if you don't want me to come tonight,
58
00:02:36,067 --> 00:02:37,047
i totally understand. I could just...
59
00:02:37,207 --> 00:02:40,667
what? No, i want you to come.
60
00:02:40,847 --> 00:02:43,877
In fact, i was hoping you would be one of my ladies.
61
00:02:44,057 --> 00:02:46,097
Would you give nate the last clue?
62
00:02:46,267 --> 00:02:48,067
Are you sure you want me to?
63
00:02:48,237 --> 00:02:51,197
Tonight is all about starting over.
64
00:02:51,447 --> 00:02:54,817
I trust you... and him.
65
00:02:56,087 --> 00:03:00,507
Well, then i will be honored to serve you, my queen.
66
00:03:01,067 --> 00:03:03,757
Well, besides, you're bringing dan, right?
67
00:03:03,907 --> 00:03:07,477
A ball? Haven't you heard?
Your sister's cinderella.
68
00:03:07,637 --> 00:03:10,927
And let me guess.
Your wicked stepsister is blair waldorf.
69
00:03:11,097 --> 00:03:12,727
Blair may have asked me to do a few things,
70
00:03:12,917 --> 00:03:15,717
but i'm happy to help.
And if she happens to help you
out with an invite and outfit?
71
00:03:15,887 --> 00:03:17,937
It'll all be worth it. Everyone in disguise
72
00:03:18,117 --> 00:03:20,677
in this old ballroom...
it's gonna be amazing. You know,
73
00:03:20,837 --> 00:03:24,717
i'm actually surprised serena
didn't mention it. Why? We've only been out twice.
74
00:03:24,877 --> 00:03:25,527
It's not like all of a sudden,
75
00:03:25,697 --> 00:03:28,927
we have to do everything together.
All right, well i gotta go deliver this stuff.
76
00:03:29,077 --> 00:03:31,897
Let me know if you need me to pick you up a tux.
77
00:03:34,857 --> 00:03:37,437
What? It's a masked ball.
78
00:03:37,607 --> 00:03:39,537
I'm sure she thinks i'd never
go to something that pretentious,
79
00:03:39,697 --> 00:03:43,787
which shows she knows me well.
I know him. A masked ball?
80
00:03:43,947 --> 00:03:46,357
Dan would never want to go to
something that pretentious,
81
00:03:46,517 --> 00:03:48,487
where he has to wear a mask and a tux?
82
00:03:48,647 --> 00:03:51,077
He likes you. He would wear a tux and a mask
83
00:03:51,257 --> 00:03:52,697
and one of my mother's dresses
84
00:03:52,867 --> 00:03:54,687
if it meant that he could go out
with you. Come on.
85
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:56,477
What, are you worried that
he already has a date?
86
00:03:56,637 --> 00:04:01,737
I mean, he is dan humphrey.
(chuckles) shut up. I don't know.
87
00:04:01,897 --> 00:04:04,057
I guess a masked ball is
better than a regular party
88
00:04:04,237 --> 00:04:06,707
because then all those kids
from school that he hates...
89
00:04:06,867 --> 00:04:10,277
he won't even recognize them.
All right. Invite him. I insist.
90
00:04:10,457 --> 00:04:11,717
I'm not saying i wouldn't go.
91
00:04:11,897 --> 00:04:15,117
If serena asked me, i wouldn't
deprive her of my company.
92
00:04:15,297 --> 00:04:16,337
No, that would be too cruel.
93
00:04:16,507 --> 00:04:18,997
But she hasn't asked me, so...
94
00:04:20,297 --> 00:04:22,887
if you want to go with her,
just make it happen.
95
00:04:23,047 --> 00:04:25,587
Put yourself out there. This thing
happens in a matter of hours.
96
00:04:25,747 --> 00:04:28,917
The window for bold gestures
is officially closed.
97
00:04:29,377 --> 00:04:30,567
(cell phone rings) is that her?
98
00:04:32,457 --> 00:04:34,157
(ring) uh, no, it's vanessa.
99
00:04:34,327 --> 00:04:35,687
Vanessa? (ring)
100
00:04:35,917 --> 00:04:37,577
That's been a while.
101
00:04:37,737 --> 00:04:40,777
You gonna answer that?
Of course. Why wouldn't i?
102
00:04:41,417 --> 00:04:42,787
Hello? Vanessa.
103
00:04:42,957 --> 00:04:44,357
Hi. Yeah, it's me.
104
00:04:44,537 --> 00:04:46,407
So what's up? What's up?
How's vermont?
105
00:04:46,587 --> 00:04:50,417
Do you still have my
copy of "the crying of lot 49"?
106
00:04:51,267 --> 00:04:52,297
Um, i don't know.
107
00:04:52,467 --> 00:04:54,457
Well, could you check?
108
00:04:54,617 --> 00:04:56,777
Okay. I haven't talked to you in over a year,
109
00:04:56,957 --> 00:04:58,797
and you called to ask me about an old book?
110
00:04:58,947 --> 00:05:00,547
You know, it could be anywhere.
111
00:05:01,297 --> 00:05:03,587
Try over by the window. (giggles)
112
00:05:05,507 --> 00:05:07,187
Vanessa. Surprise!
113
00:05:07,357 --> 00:05:09,747
What? Oh, my god.
114
00:05:09,917 --> 00:05:11,877
How are you? So good to see you.
I can't believe you're here.
115
00:05:12,047 --> 00:05:15,077
What... what are you doing here?
My parents said i could live with my sister
116
00:05:15,247 --> 00:05:17,527
and finish high school in the city.
So... so that means you're...
117
00:05:17,707 --> 00:05:19,617
i'm back for good.
118
00:05:19,847 --> 00:05:22,447
Wow. Wow.
119
00:05:22,627 --> 00:05:23,187
That is...
120
00:05:23,307 --> 00:05:24,257
awesome, i hope?
121
00:05:24,457 --> 00:05:27,607
Yeah, t-totally. Yes, of course.
122
00:05:27,787 --> 00:05:29,897
It's just... unexpected.
123
00:05:30,047 --> 00:05:32,707
Unexpectedly awesome.
124
00:05:34,587 --> 00:05:38,597
Go ahead. Answer that.
I'm starving, and i smell waffles.
125
00:05:39,267 --> 00:05:41,897
(vanessa) rufus. (rufus) vanessa.
126
00:05:42,057 --> 00:05:43,427
Hi. Serena, hey.
127
00:05:43,587 --> 00:05:46,057
Hey. Hi.
128
00:05:47,997 --> 00:05:50,017
(blair) go ahead. Do it.
129
00:05:50,657 --> 00:05:52,607
Uh, hey, i was just wondering,
130
00:05:52,787 --> 00:05:54,637
are you, uh, are you, uh,
doing anything tonight?
131
00:05:54,797 --> 00:05:56,887
Tonight? No. No, nothing. Why?
132
00:05:57,057 --> 00:05:58,477
Good, because there's this thing,
133
00:05:58,657 --> 00:06:02,387
and you're probably gonna think
it's stupid, but... try me.
134
00:06:02,817 --> 00:06:05,557
Even cold, these are so good.
135
00:06:05,727 --> 00:06:08,287
I-i've missed rufus' cooking. I have.
136
00:06:08,487 --> 00:06:11,127
(vanessa) rufus, do you have
whipped cream? Who's that?
137
00:06:11,297 --> 00:06:13,867
Uh, it's... it's my sister,
138
00:06:14,047 --> 00:06:16,297
but you... you were saying something.
139
00:06:16,467 --> 00:06:19,567
Hi, blair. What do you want me to
do with this stuff?
Oh, just leave them over there.
140
00:06:19,727 --> 00:06:23,127
That's fine. I left you another list.
141
00:06:28,477 --> 00:06:31,327
Is anyone there? Hello?
142
00:06:32,177 --> 00:06:35,117
I'm sorry. Uh... what?
143
00:06:35,297 --> 00:06:38,117
Uh, you... you were asking me something.
144
00:06:39,417 --> 00:06:41,177
No, uh...
145
00:06:41,337 --> 00:06:42,287
no, never mind.
146
00:06:42,467 --> 00:06:45,307
Thank you. Have a good day. Okay.
147
00:06:45,847 --> 00:06:47,207
Bye. (shuts phone)
148
00:06:50,157 --> 00:06:52,567
So what are we doing tonight?
149
00:06:54,107 --> 00:06:56,147
I think i need a date.
150
00:06:59,327 --> 00:07:01,617
Damn it, anne, i told you no starch.
151
00:07:01,787 --> 00:07:04,667
Howard, we've been going to the
same cleaners for 19 years.
152
00:07:04,847 --> 00:07:07,137
Your shirts are exactly how
they always are.
153
00:07:07,307 --> 00:07:10,237
We both know this isn't about laundry.
I'm sorry, but i need everything
154
00:07:10,407 --> 00:07:12,097
to be perfect at eleanor's party tonight.
155
00:07:12,277 --> 00:07:15,657
I can't screw up.
Eleanor knows you're the best person
156
00:07:15,817 --> 00:07:18,567
to take her company public.
She's going to pick you.
157
00:07:18,737 --> 00:07:21,227
Just show up and be yourself.
158
00:07:21,397 --> 00:07:22,407
Look, i'm gonna call you from the office.
159
00:07:22,577 --> 00:07:25,647
I gotta look over the proposal again.
160
00:07:27,717 --> 00:07:28,867
Hey, mom.
161
00:07:29,037 --> 00:07:30,067
Oh, nate.
162
00:07:30,257 --> 00:07:32,107
Is everything okay with dad?
163
00:07:32,277 --> 00:07:35,577
Just work stuff. Nothing for you to worry about.
164
00:07:35,727 --> 00:07:37,007
Sure.
165
00:07:41,837 --> 00:07:43,527
God! I love new york.
166
00:07:43,707 --> 00:07:45,077
There was only one theater in woodbury,
167
00:07:45,247 --> 00:07:47,507
and all it ever played were family movies.
168
00:07:47,677 --> 00:07:49,737
"The pacifier" played for, like, a year.
169
00:07:49,917 --> 00:07:53,117
And they said vin diesel
couldn't do comedy. (laughs)
170
00:07:53,297 --> 00:07:55,197
I can't pick. Overwhelmed by choice.
171
00:07:55,367 --> 00:07:56,767
Whatever you want.
172
00:07:56,937 --> 00:08:00,897
Yeah, sure, whatever.
You do wanna do something, right?
173
00:08:01,057 --> 00:08:02,227
I mean, you don't have plans.
174
00:08:02,407 --> 00:08:04,437
Big night out with overprivileged, under-parented
175
00:08:04,607 --> 00:08:06,387
trust fund brats from your fancy school?
176
00:08:06,547 --> 00:08:08,097
Yeah, the limo's actually waiting back at the loft.
177
00:08:08,277 --> 00:08:11,237
Good. We can egg it. Maybe slash the tires? (chuckles)
178
00:08:13,047 --> 00:08:16,477
So is it weird, having me back?
179
00:08:17,357 --> 00:08:19,807
No. Why, uh, why... why would it be weird?
180
00:08:19,987 --> 00:08:22,927
Because we said some things the night that i left...
181
00:08:23,127 --> 00:08:25,347
things that you immediately asked me to take back.
182
00:08:25,517 --> 00:08:29,117
Because i was leaving, but... now i'm here.
183
00:08:29,277 --> 00:08:31,497
Yeah, and it's been over a year, you know?
184
00:08:31,687 --> 00:08:32,977
A lot has happened, actually.
185
00:08:33,147 --> 00:08:35,677
And i look forward to
hearing about it tonight.
186
00:08:35,867 --> 00:08:39,537
Late show. Angelika?
Whatever's playing?
187
00:08:39,697 --> 00:08:42,347
Unless it's "the pacifier."
unless it's "the pacifier." (laughs)
188
00:08:42,757 --> 00:08:44,677
All right. I'll get tickets.
189
00:08:44,867 --> 00:08:46,287
Glad to be home, humphrey.
190
00:08:46,467 --> 00:08:48,327
Glad to have you, abrams.
191
00:08:48,727 --> 00:08:50,817
(chuck) so what
exactly are you looking for?
192
00:08:50,987 --> 00:08:52,267
Evidence.
193
00:08:52,457 --> 00:08:53,897
Of what?
194
00:08:54,187 --> 00:08:56,967
The captain's dislike of starchy shirts?
195
00:08:57,137 --> 00:08:59,437
I totally sympathize. The collars chafe.
196
00:08:59,597 --> 00:09:02,217
Did you, uh, ask him about your
missing college money?
197
00:09:02,397 --> 00:09:04,137
Yeah, he said he was moving accounts around.
198
00:09:04,307 --> 00:09:08,917
It was all back the next day.
So why worry?
Mysterious financial transactions,
199
00:09:09,077 --> 00:09:13,147
warring parents.
Welcome to the upper east side.
200
00:09:22,877 --> 00:09:25,487
"Chi chi, get the llello." nathaniel, i'm shocked.
201
00:09:25,667 --> 00:09:27,377
I thought you were strictly an herbal man.
202
00:09:27,537 --> 00:09:29,307
This isn't mine.
203
00:09:32,857 --> 00:09:35,627
Who does this dan humphrey think he is?
204
00:09:35,797 --> 00:09:37,457
Serena is putting up atrong front,
205
00:09:37,617 --> 00:09:38,977
but i can see how hurt she is.
206
00:09:39,157 --> 00:09:42,157
We have to help her heal her heart.
But it's pretty late notice.
207
00:09:42,327 --> 00:09:46,367
Most of the good ones are already taken.
No more excuses.
Serena must have the hottest date ever.
208
00:09:46,517 --> 00:09:48,017
If he's got plans, he'll change them.
209
00:09:48,177 --> 00:09:49,657
If he's got a girlfriend, he'll dump her,
210
00:09:49,827 --> 00:09:52,477
and if he's out of town,
he'll charter a g5 and fly home.
211
00:09:52,647 --> 00:09:53,647
Make it happen.
212
00:09:53,817 --> 00:09:56,517
(man) do you like it?
That's outstanding. (gasps)
213
00:10:01,697 --> 00:10:03,467
Is it a bong, mother?
214
00:10:03,637 --> 00:10:05,247
Please. I didn't take you for a stoner.
215
00:10:05,417 --> 00:10:07,467
It's a... a hookah... mm-hmm.
216
00:10:07,647 --> 00:10:11,807
And it is adorable.
It's perfect for my moroccan-themed party.
217
00:10:11,957 --> 00:10:13,737
Why do you have to celebrate your bendel's deal
218
00:10:13,907 --> 00:10:16,487
by turning our penthouse into an opium den?
219
00:10:16,667 --> 00:10:18,217
Why not? (laughs)
220
00:10:18,947 --> 00:10:20,307
Hey, it's blair.
221
00:10:20,477 --> 00:10:21,927
I'm sorry i can't come to the phone right now,
222
00:10:22,077 --> 00:10:24,067
but i'm getting
ready for the masked ball.
223
00:10:24,227 --> 00:10:27,737
See you tonight, if you recognize me,
which you won't. (beep)
224
00:10:27,917 --> 00:10:30,847
Hey, blair. It's me. I, um...
225
00:10:31,567 --> 00:10:33,347
i just... i really need to talk to you.
226
00:10:33,527 --> 00:10:36,347
It's, uh, there's this thing with my dad,
227
00:10:36,527 --> 00:10:38,987
and, um...
228
00:10:39,497 --> 00:10:42,177
you know, i just...
i really need to talk to you.
229
00:10:42,347 --> 00:10:47,797
So can you call me back when you can?
Thanks.
230
00:10:51,237 --> 00:10:53,377
(sighs) well, that's all of it.
Thank you so much.
231
00:10:53,537 --> 00:10:55,287
I don't know what i would've done without you.
Thank you.
232
00:10:55,457 --> 00:10:57,227
That's okay. Yeah, it was fun.
233
00:10:57,407 --> 00:11:01,107
I'm glad. It's all part of your education.
234
00:11:01,267 --> 00:11:04,257
And it looks like you're learning.
It's a nice bracelet.
235
00:11:04,417 --> 00:11:06,757
Vintage, right?
The diamonds look real.
236
00:11:06,927 --> 00:11:09,817
'Cause they sort of are.
237
00:11:10,177 --> 00:11:13,127
Uh, the man at the store lent it to me.
238
00:11:13,297 --> 00:11:15,297
Why would he do that?
239
00:11:16,477 --> 00:11:18,457
Oh! Oh, sweetie, you didn't think
240
00:11:18,627 --> 00:11:21,497
you were gonna be able to come tonight, right?
241
00:11:21,667 --> 00:11:24,247
I thought maybe, yeah.
242
00:11:24,407 --> 00:11:26,857
Jenny, freshmen don't get to go to the masked ball.
243
00:11:27,017 --> 00:11:30,577
It's just tradition. No, i know.
It's just that there were five dresses.
244
00:11:30,747 --> 00:11:33,147
Oh, it... you always need backup.
245
00:11:33,317 --> 00:11:35,427
I mean, what... what if i spilled
something or a zipper broke?
246
00:11:35,607 --> 00:11:38,887
Yeah, of course. I'll... i'll remember that.
247
00:11:40,347 --> 00:11:41,217
Have fun tonight.
248
00:11:41,407 --> 00:11:43,407
I will, and don't worry,
249
00:11:43,577 --> 00:11:45,247
your time will come. I promise.
250
00:11:45,407 --> 00:11:48,047
Now if you'll excuse me,
i have to get ready.
251
00:11:49,697 --> 00:11:51,467
Do you think that eleanor waldorf
252
00:11:51,647 --> 00:11:55,107
will find this... night in tangiers enough?
253
00:11:55,287 --> 00:11:56,507
Maybe if you brought a goat.
254
00:11:56,677 --> 00:11:59,717
You know, eleanor always goes all-out.
Speaking of going all-out...
255
00:11:59,897 --> 00:12:02,887
yeah, i know. Tell me about it.
I don't think the waldorf women
256
00:12:03,047 --> 00:12:05,707
ever met a theme they didn't just love.
257
00:12:05,867 --> 00:12:07,317
You going with dan?
258
00:12:07,497 --> 00:12:10,907
Um, no, dan has plans, actually.
Doing what?
259
00:12:11,077 --> 00:12:13,267
The question is "with whom?"
260
00:12:14,217 --> 00:12:17,047
Oh, i didn't realize.
261
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:19,167
Well, frankly, i am relieved.
262
00:12:19,367 --> 00:12:22,177
You know, at your age, you
should be playing the field.
263
00:12:22,347 --> 00:12:24,647
What about at your age?
You got a hot date tonight?
264
00:12:24,807 --> 00:12:28,857
What? No, please.
Who would i be dating?
265
00:12:29,257 --> 00:12:31,207
(i.m. Alert dings) you know what?
I'm gonna go try this on
266
00:12:31,377 --> 00:12:33,857
and see if i can find a goat.
267
00:12:41,097 --> 00:12:42,227
Hi. Serena?
268
00:12:42,317 --> 00:12:43,997
Kati farkas gave me your address.
269
00:12:46,187 --> 00:12:47,717
Yeah. Hi. Who's this?
270
00:12:49,687 --> 00:12:53,297
(serena) well, he's no dan,
but i guess he'll do.
271
00:12:53,457 --> 00:12:54,757
Hey, jen, you're not gonna believe this,
272
00:12:54,927 --> 00:12:57,027
but, uh, vanessa is back in town.
273
00:12:57,197 --> 00:12:58,467
So we're going to a movie tonight,
and i don't know
274
00:12:58,627 --> 00:13:00,177
if you're going to that ball or not,
275
00:13:00,347 --> 00:13:01,937
but i was wondering if you
wanted to come with.
276
00:13:02,097 --> 00:13:07,107
So, uh, we're getting tickets online.
Call me back.
277
00:13:19,917 --> 00:13:21,937
Why is it that friends of
serena van der woodsen
278
00:13:22,107 --> 00:13:23,907
haveo search for her suitor?
279
00:13:24,067 --> 00:13:26,277
Have fables fallen so out of fashion
280
00:13:26,457 --> 00:13:29,107
that the princesses have to do
everything themselves?
281
00:13:29,287 --> 00:13:30,337
Call us old-school,
282
00:13:30,497 --> 00:13:32,097
but sometimes the fairy-tale ending
283
00:13:32,267 --> 00:13:34,277
requires the knight to get off his ass
284
00:13:34,457 --> 00:13:36,147
and saddle up his steed.
285
00:13:42,747 --> 00:13:43,957
So... what are we doing tonight?
286
00:13:47,687 --> 00:13:50,327
(dan) maybe it's never too late for a bold gesture.
287
00:13:55,387 --> 00:13:56,687
Got a mask?
288
00:14:03,617 --> 00:14:05,557
Nate, hey.
289
00:14:05,717 --> 00:14:07,927
What are you doing here? I thought you were, um,
290
00:14:08,087 --> 00:14:08,977
shouldn't you be getting ready?
291
00:14:09,127 --> 00:14:13,567
I'm sorry to bother you.
It's, um, do you have a minute?
292
00:14:13,937 --> 00:14:14,837
Yeah, of course.
293
00:14:15,007 --> 00:14:15,507
Come in.
294
00:14:15,667 --> 00:14:16,647
Thanks.
295
00:14:16,807 --> 00:14:17,927
Yeah.
296
00:14:20,657 --> 00:14:24,197
Maybe it's old. You know,
left over from the '90s or something,
297
00:14:24,357 --> 00:14:26,067
from some night at limelight or the tunnel?
298
00:14:26,217 --> 00:14:27,797
Our parents did way worse stuff than we do.
299
00:14:27,947 --> 00:14:31,737
It's not old, and it makes total sense.
300
00:14:33,817 --> 00:14:36,247
I think he's having some money problems.
301
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:37,827
Well, have you asked him about it?
302
00:14:37,997 --> 00:14:38,967
Yeah.
303
00:14:39,487 --> 00:14:42,097
I just wish, you know, i wish he'd be honest with me.
304
00:14:42,257 --> 00:14:42,867
It's like he and my mom...
305
00:14:43,017 --> 00:14:45,477
they made some secret pact to act like robots.
306
00:14:45,657 --> 00:14:47,367
Yeah, well, i don't think that pact is so secret.
307
00:14:47,537 --> 00:14:50,437
I think all of our parents signed it.
But i'm not a little kid anymore.
308
00:14:50,577 --> 00:14:54,487
He doesn't have to shut me out.
309
00:14:57,447 --> 00:14:58,827
Look, if what you think is right,
310
00:14:58,997 --> 00:15:00,437
he's probably really scared.
311
00:15:00,597 --> 00:15:02,617
Maybe you have to tell him how
you feel more than once
312
00:15:02,787 --> 00:15:05,127
for him to really hear you, you know?
313
00:15:06,217 --> 00:15:09,047
Hey, don't give up, okay?
314
00:15:13,607 --> 00:15:14,767
You should probably go.
315
00:15:14,937 --> 00:15:16,657
You know, i've gotta get ready and stuff.
316
00:15:16,807 --> 00:15:18,647
Yeah, me, too. Um...
317
00:15:18,797 --> 00:15:20,597
look, thanks for just listening.
318
00:15:20,767 --> 00:15:22,257
That's fine. Yeah, don't worry about it.
319
00:15:22,407 --> 00:15:24,017
Chuck just wanted a bump, and blair's phone
320
00:15:24,177 --> 00:15:26,977
was turned off, so it, um, really means a lot.
321
00:15:27,147 --> 00:15:31,757
Yeah, anytime, nate. I'll see you tonight, okay?
322
00:15:31,907 --> 00:15:35,207
All right. I'll see ya. Bye.
323
00:15:38,827 --> 00:15:41,577
Hey, anybody home?
324
00:15:41,947 --> 00:15:43,437
Hey, you and dan going out?
325
00:15:43,597 --> 00:15:46,447
Just to the movies. What about you?
326
00:15:46,637 --> 00:15:48,677
A humphrey man in a sports coat?
327
00:15:48,837 --> 00:15:51,887
I'd normally ask if you had a date,
but... but my wife left me, hmm?
328
00:15:52,057 --> 00:15:55,457
Yeah. What's up with alison?
Dan says she's still upstate.
329
00:15:55,637 --> 00:15:58,987
I thought that was just for the summer.
So did her husband.
330
00:15:59,167 --> 00:16:01,817
Okay, we'll circle back to that.
331
00:16:01,977 --> 00:16:04,467
One issue at a time.
Like where are my keys?
332
00:16:04,637 --> 00:16:06,557
What do you need keys for?
Just use dan's window.
333
00:16:06,727 --> 00:16:07,857
Where is dan, by the way?
334
00:16:08,027 --> 00:16:11,467
Uh, he should be back in a minute. Hmm.
335
00:16:11,897 --> 00:16:14,207
So, uh, dan seems happy to see you.
336
00:16:14,367 --> 00:16:15,527
Why wouldn't he be?
337
00:16:15,677 --> 00:16:18,877
Well, um, if you don't mind me saying so,
338
00:16:19,057 --> 00:16:21,987
when you left here,
you kind of broke his heart.
339
00:16:22,747 --> 00:16:24,817
I'm back, aren't i?
340
00:16:25,127 --> 00:16:28,447
I hated being away from the city...
341
00:16:28,607 --> 00:16:30,367
away from dan.
342
00:16:30,527 --> 00:16:31,837
Did you tell dan this?
343
00:16:32,477 --> 00:16:35,917
No, not yet, but i'm planning on it tonight...
344
00:16:36,067 --> 00:16:38,757
before or after the movie. I'm not sure yet.
345
00:16:38,927 --> 00:16:40,767
You know, i gotta pick my moment.
346
00:16:41,027 --> 00:16:43,067
It's kind of a big deal.
347
00:16:44,637 --> 00:16:45,927
Hmm.
348
00:16:46,087 --> 00:16:48,137
Oh, thanks.
349
00:16:49,407 --> 00:16:51,377
You know, there's, uh,
350
00:16:51,537 --> 00:16:53,537
a lot that's changed since you were here.
351
00:16:53,687 --> 00:16:54,867
So dan says.
352
00:16:55,037 --> 00:16:56,557
But you guys have always been close.
353
00:16:56,717 --> 00:16:58,297
You'll figure it out.
354
00:16:58,597 --> 00:16:59,847
Wish me luck?
355
00:17:00,007 --> 00:17:01,227
Me, too.
356
00:17:01,397 --> 00:17:03,517
Where are you going anyway?
Uh, just some party.
357
00:17:03,677 --> 00:17:05,257
With a friend? (cell phone rings)
358
00:17:05,407 --> 00:17:08,937
I wouldn't exactly call her that. (ring)
359
00:17:09,107 --> 00:17:10,397
See ya.
360
00:17:15,157 --> 00:17:16,057
Hello?
361
00:17:16,217 --> 00:17:18,607
Hey. Where are you? At your house.
362
00:17:18,787 --> 00:17:20,027
Oh. Oh, you're early.
363
00:17:20,187 --> 00:17:22,117
Yeah, i just couldn't wait.
364
00:17:22,277 --> 00:17:24,747
Oh, um, i tried to get you before you left.
365
00:17:24,927 --> 00:17:26,467
I-i feel terrible.
366
00:17:26,627 --> 00:17:27,767
'Cause i'm early?
367
00:17:27,927 --> 00:17:32,787
No, because, um, i... i totally spaced.
368
00:17:32,967 --> 00:17:33,567
I have this, uh,
369
00:17:33,727 --> 00:17:35,477
american history paper due monday.
370
00:17:35,647 --> 00:17:37,557
So you know, i'll be writing all night.
371
00:17:37,747 --> 00:17:40,157
I'll make it up to you, though. I promise.
372
00:17:40,747 --> 00:17:42,457
Pierogis at veselka?
373
00:17:42,757 --> 00:17:44,697
I'll call you tomorrow.
374
00:17:52,417 --> 00:17:53,917
Jenny, hey.
375
00:17:54,097 --> 00:17:55,617
Hey.
376
00:17:56,637 --> 00:17:57,657
W...
377
00:17:58,047 --> 00:17:59,917
jenny, what's wrong?
378
00:18:13,027 --> 00:18:15,587
And how is this a favor to me again?
379
00:18:15,767 --> 00:18:18,187
Rufus, look around.
When was the last time you had access
380
00:18:18,367 --> 00:18:20,047
to the top people in music and art?
381
00:18:20,217 --> 00:18:22,617
Introduce yourself.
Revitalize your flagging career.
382
00:18:22,777 --> 00:18:25,667
Put that sad little gallery on the cultural radar.
383
00:18:25,827 --> 00:18:27,797
Since when were you the
patron saint of former rock stars?
384
00:18:27,957 --> 00:18:31,907
Since when were you a star? No, look, leave if you want to.
385
00:18:32,067 --> 00:18:33,647
Really. Alison would have a fit
386
00:18:33,817 --> 00:18:35,707
if she knew you were
accompanying me to this party,
387
00:18:35,867 --> 00:18:40,517
even if it was for your benefit.
Actually, i don't care what alison thinks right now.
388
00:18:40,677 --> 00:18:43,237
Good. Then let me introduce you to our hostess.
389
00:18:43,377 --> 00:18:44,387
Eleanor.
390
00:18:44,557 --> 00:18:47,377
It is divine. Squint, and it's marrakech.
391
00:18:47,857 --> 00:18:48,627
(laughs) lily.
392
00:18:48,807 --> 00:18:51,777
I had no idea you were bringing a date.
393
00:18:51,937 --> 00:18:54,287
How delightful. Oh, this is rufus humphrey.
394
00:18:54,457 --> 00:18:54,498
Oh, it's not a date. Oh, pleasure.
395
00:18:54,557 --> 00:18:56,587
It's not a date. Mm-hmm.
396
00:18:56,677 --> 00:18:58,387
Look. Appetizers. Is that couscous?
397
00:18:58,557 --> 00:19:00,307
(eleanor) yes, please.
398
00:19:01,997 --> 00:19:03,747
(bart) hey. (eleanor) bart!
399
00:19:04,927 --> 00:19:05,787
Hi.
400
00:19:05,957 --> 00:19:06,537
And friend.
401
00:19:06,727 --> 00:19:07,497
Hi.
402
00:19:08,817 --> 00:19:11,377
Oh. Mm. Something catch your eye?
403
00:19:11,547 --> 00:19:13,687
(whispers) oh, i like her outfit. Lily.
404
00:19:14,457 --> 00:19:15,997
Bart.
405
00:19:16,167 --> 00:19:16,867
Hello.
406
00:19:17,047 --> 00:19:17,817
Hi.
407
00:19:17,977 --> 00:19:20,897
I'd like you to meet carissa. Yeah, hi. Carissa.
408
00:19:21,097 --> 00:19:22,097
Hi.
409
00:19:23,167 --> 00:19:25,677
Hi. Rufus. Hi, rufus.
410
00:19:26,127 --> 00:19:29,977
(rufus) yeah, hi. Well, it's so good to see you.
411
00:19:30,147 --> 00:19:31,067
Great to see you. Enjoy.
412
00:19:31,227 --> 00:19:34,557
You, too. Okay.
413
00:19:36,787 --> 00:19:37,637
Mm.
414
00:19:38,867 --> 00:19:41,237
You and bart bass?
Suddenly it all makes sense.
415
00:19:41,397 --> 00:19:43,947
You brought me here to make him jealous.
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
416
00:19:44,147 --> 00:19:45,947
I mean, it's flattering, i guess,
417
00:19:46,117 --> 00:19:49,987
but couldn't you have done a little better?
Oh, not on such short notice.
418
00:19:50,457 --> 00:19:52,877
Eleanor, oh! as-salaamu alaikum.
419
00:19:53,947 --> 00:19:56,667
Oh! How are you? This is fantastic.
420
00:19:56,847 --> 00:19:57,667
This is beautiful. God bless you.
421
00:19:57,837 --> 00:19:59,907
So this blair girl used you as her slave?
422
00:20:00,077 --> 00:20:03,137
No, i was her handmaiden.
"handmaiden" is jane austen for "slave."
423
00:20:03,317 --> 00:20:05,097
She never actually said i
would get to go to the ball,
424
00:20:05,257 --> 00:20:08,057
even if i did all those errands. Unh-unh.
Don't make excuses for her.
425
00:20:08,217 --> 00:20:10,347
You did all that stuff.
You deserve to go. I thought you said
426
00:20:10,517 --> 00:20:14,647
that masked balls are "totally pretentious."
one woman's opinion.
427
00:20:16,387 --> 00:20:19,167
But if you wanna go, no blair should keep you away.
428
00:20:19,327 --> 00:20:21,787
It's not just blair. I mean,
i don't have a gown. My friend works
429
00:20:21,947 --> 00:20:23,577
in the costume department at b.a.m.
430
00:20:23,777 --> 00:20:26,597
We can borrow one.
Next? I don't have an invitation.
431
00:20:26,777 --> 00:20:30,157
Every ballroom has a back door. What else?
432
00:20:30,337 --> 00:20:32,187
If blair saw me, she'd be furious.
433
00:20:32,357 --> 00:20:35,017
Then it's a good thing
you'll be wearing a mask.
434
00:20:38,027 --> 00:20:39,817
On the upper east side, appearances
435
00:20:39,987 --> 00:20:42,997
are often deceiving.
from friends to hair color,
436
00:20:43,167 --> 00:20:45,937
there's always more
than meets the eye.
437
00:21:04,797 --> 00:21:06,817
Is uptown this way or that way?
438
00:21:06,987 --> 00:21:07,817
It's, uh, that way,
439
00:21:07,987 --> 00:21:09,527
and these things whizzing by here... they're cars.
440
00:21:09,697 --> 00:21:11,107
You mighwant to avoid them.
You know what?
441
00:21:11,277 --> 00:21:15,617
You'll see better without this, too.
Whoa. That is better.
442
00:21:16,517 --> 00:21:18,077
Hey, you got a name?
443
00:21:18,247 --> 00:21:19,867
Jack altman.
444
00:21:28,357 --> 00:21:30,197
Hi. Jack altman.
I just stepped out for some air.
445
00:21:30,347 --> 00:21:32,287
Altman? Okay.
446
00:21:37,577 --> 00:21:39,627
Come on. (vanessa) thank you.
447
00:21:42,527 --> 00:21:44,377
Wait. Let me see.
448
00:21:44,887 --> 00:21:47,377
Okay, look,
i know you're completely morally opposed
449
00:21:47,547 --> 00:21:48,657
to society events and stuff, but...
450
00:21:48,807 --> 00:21:52,287
we'll deprogram you later. This is ugly.
451
00:21:55,687 --> 00:21:56,187
Just go.
452
00:21:56,367 --> 00:21:58,727
All right. Thanks.
453
00:22:04,427 --> 00:22:07,147
Thank you so much. Anytime.
454
00:23:09,137 --> 00:23:11,647
(gossip girl) what was it we said
about appearances?
455
00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:14,727
Yes, they can be deceiving.
456
00:23:19,587 --> 00:23:23,307
But most of the time,
what you see is what you get.
457
00:23:26,157 --> 00:23:27,167
Hey.
458
00:23:27,347 --> 00:23:28,467
Have you seen that girl i was with?
459
00:23:28,627 --> 00:23:30,587
When i grabbed her bag,
i got her house keys, too.
460
00:23:48,757 --> 00:23:50,737
What is nate doing?
461
00:23:50,907 --> 00:23:52,387
He's supposed to go find kati and is.
462
00:23:52,557 --> 00:23:54,887
It's getting late, and i'm losing heat.
Well, you look ravishing.
463
00:23:55,057 --> 00:23:57,577
If i were your man, i wouldn't need clues to find you.
464
00:23:57,747 --> 00:24:00,887
Or to ravish me, i'm sure. Who is that?
465
00:24:01,037 --> 00:24:02,437
(blair) probably some bitch from chapin.
466
00:24:02,607 --> 00:24:03,787
Hot bitch from chapin.
467
00:24:03,947 --> 00:24:07,227
Forget her. Go get nate.
Point him in the right direction.
468
00:24:07,377 --> 00:24:09,027
First things first.
469
00:24:13,447 --> 00:24:14,657
Well, hello, angel.
470
00:24:14,817 --> 00:24:16,817
You must be my lucky night.
471
00:24:18,467 --> 00:24:20,597
And with taste to boot.
472
00:24:20,757 --> 00:24:22,277
Apparently not.
473
00:24:22,437 --> 00:24:23,547
I'm talking to you.
474
00:24:23,717 --> 00:24:26,047
Beautiful and mean? I've got chills.
475
00:24:26,217 --> 00:24:28,397
Care to dance with a poor devil?
476
00:24:31,757 --> 00:24:34,407
Why don't we just skip all that and, uh,
477
00:24:34,557 --> 00:24:37,417
go somewhere quiet to talk?
478
00:24:38,507 --> 00:24:40,257
I'll get the champagne.
479
00:24:40,417 --> 00:24:42,327
Find me in five.
480
00:24:45,957 --> 00:24:49,007
Taking a company public is an
enormous responsibility.
481
00:24:49,167 --> 00:24:50,167
There's nothing more valuable
482
00:24:50,337 --> 00:24:51,477
than making a good first impression.
483
00:24:51,637 --> 00:24:54,917
And you taught me that, eleanor.
Captain, you know that i adore you,
484
00:24:55,087 --> 00:24:58,187
but you've never done fashion before.
485
00:24:58,347 --> 00:25:01,017
I have been talking to calvin's
people, and i have to say,
486
00:25:01,177 --> 00:25:04,857
the presentation is very impressive.
Enough business talk, howard.
You're boring her.
487
00:25:05,027 --> 00:25:06,757
Mm. Eleanor, i've been thinking.
488
00:25:06,927 --> 00:25:08,757
When nate and blair get engaged,
489
00:25:08,917 --> 00:25:12,097
she should have my
great-grandmother's ring,
490
00:25:14,427 --> 00:25:16,867
the one that cornelius vanderbilt gave her?
491
00:25:17,037 --> 00:25:18,097
Huh.
492
00:25:24,397 --> 00:25:25,427
You still spying on him?
493
00:25:25,577 --> 00:25:27,797
I'm not spying. I'm just...
494
00:25:28,157 --> 00:25:29,517
keeping track of his whereabouts.
495
00:25:29,677 --> 00:25:31,497
Well, so long as you're watching, he's winning.
496
00:25:31,677 --> 00:25:32,987
If you really want to make a man jealous,
497
00:25:33,157 --> 00:25:36,017
there's only one thing to do.
Rufus, i invited you here for many reasons,
498
00:25:36,177 --> 00:25:39,267
but knowledge of romance is not...
499
00:25:52,687 --> 00:25:54,457
that was, um...
500
00:25:55,577 --> 00:25:56,887
unexpected.
501
00:25:57,057 --> 00:25:59,307
Give him 20 minutes.
502
00:26:00,787 --> 00:26:02,107
I need a drink. I need a drink.
503
00:26:02,787 --> 00:26:04,407
So every time we see their yacht now,
504
00:26:04,557 --> 00:26:07,387
we just pull out our air horns and let 'em rip.
505
00:26:07,547 --> 00:26:09,767
(laughs) wow. I tell you, it is almost enough
506
00:26:09,927 --> 00:26:12,487
to make you never want to summer in newport again.
507
00:26:12,657 --> 00:26:15,597
Wow, that sounds, uh, awful.
508
00:26:15,757 --> 00:26:17,177
It is. It's pretty bad.
509
00:26:17,327 --> 00:26:19,547
Yeah, yeah, um, you know what?
If you'll excuse me,
510
00:26:19,707 --> 00:26:23,227
i, uh, i think i'm gonna go and... change partners?
511
00:26:25,937 --> 00:26:26,737
Hey.
512
00:26:26,897 --> 00:26:28,947
Dan, what are you doing here? I'm saving you.
513
00:26:29,097 --> 00:26:31,777
I don't need to be saved.
Really? 'cause, uh, i could see your eyes rolling
514
00:26:31,927 --> 00:26:34,807
to the back of your head
from across the room. Dan.
515
00:26:37,297 --> 00:26:38,477
Hey. Blair sent us over.
516
00:26:38,637 --> 00:26:40,177
She said it's getting late,
and you're taking too long.
517
00:26:40,357 --> 00:26:42,387
"Your lady-in-waiting is closer than you think,
518
00:26:42,547 --> 00:26:45,787
her headdress is feathers of black and pink."
519
00:26:47,917 --> 00:26:49,277
It's her. It's me.
520
00:26:49,437 --> 00:26:50,807
What? I'm sorry.
521
00:26:53,047 --> 00:26:54,077
Just find serena.
522
00:26:54,247 --> 00:26:55,937
She'll lead you to blair.
523
00:26:56,107 --> 00:26:58,797
Serena. Right.
524
00:27:04,137 --> 00:27:05,827
Boo.
525
00:27:08,617 --> 00:27:12,897
Let's play a game. I'd say strip poker,
but i don't have my cards.
526
00:27:13,067 --> 00:27:15,637
How about, uh, hide-and-seek?
527
00:27:15,797 --> 00:27:17,857
You hide. I'll seek.
528
00:27:18,007 --> 00:27:20,587
And how will you find me?
I don't have any bread crumbs.
529
00:27:20,767 --> 00:27:25,477
Well, you can leave me a trail...
530
00:27:25,787 --> 00:27:27,727
with your clothes.
531
00:27:29,987 --> 00:27:33,217
I have truly died and gone to heaven.
532
00:28:02,937 --> 00:28:04,137
So how you doing?
533
00:28:04,317 --> 00:28:05,047
Serena, wait.
534
00:28:05,217 --> 00:28:06,327
What are you really doing here, dan?
535
00:28:06,487 --> 00:28:08,517
What am i doing here?
I ran across the city.
536
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:12,527
I rented a tuxedo.
I stole this mask from some drunken kid,
537
00:28:12,687 --> 00:28:13,927
only to look like robin.
538
00:28:14,087 --> 00:28:18,427
I conned my way in here,
all to see you. I care.
539
00:28:18,887 --> 00:28:20,197
Well, you didn't seem to care this morning,
540
00:28:20,357 --> 00:28:23,807
when you were with another
girl and lied to me.
What? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
541
00:28:23,967 --> 00:28:27,567
I-i didn't... well... i did.
542
00:28:27,727 --> 00:28:29,167
Yeah. I did, but i can explain.
543
00:28:29,327 --> 00:28:32,217
Go ahead. Give it your best shot.
544
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:35,007
I was with my friend vanessa.
545
00:28:35,177 --> 00:28:37,847
We're very close, and she
moved away to vermont last year,
546
00:28:38,007 --> 00:28:38,987
and now she's back.
547
00:28:39,147 --> 00:28:42,257
Okay, so why'd you lie and say it was jenny?
548
00:28:42,747 --> 00:28:43,757
Because i'm an idiot.
549
00:28:43,927 --> 00:28:46,717
I d... i don't know why. I...
550
00:28:46,877 --> 00:28:48,947
look, vanessa and i...
551
00:28:49,517 --> 00:28:52,927
our relationship is a little complicated,
552
00:28:53,087 --> 00:28:56,477
or it was, before i met you.
553
00:28:56,627 --> 00:28:58,677
And honestly, i
didn't want anything to get in the way
554
00:28:58,847 --> 00:29:01,477
of you inviting me to this...
555
00:29:01,657 --> 00:29:04,467
stupid party.
556
00:29:04,637 --> 00:29:07,607
Well, i was gonna invite you.
557
00:29:07,777 --> 00:29:08,967
Really?
558
00:29:09,137 --> 00:29:12,917
So not into, uh, pompous
ass the fourth?
559
00:29:13,567 --> 00:29:16,227
You're saying you're not into
old friend vanessa?
560
00:29:20,817 --> 00:29:23,897
That is exactly what i'm saying.
561
00:29:24,867 --> 00:29:25,747
(gossip girl) oh, yes,
562
00:29:25,927 --> 00:29:28,207
the other part we love
about a masquerade?
563
00:29:28,367 --> 00:29:30,507
When the mask finally comes off
564
00:29:30,667 --> 00:29:33,857
and the truth is revealed to all.
565
00:29:45,197 --> 00:29:45,597
Will you excuse me?
566
00:29:45,638 --> 00:29:48,097
I just saw the last person i
ever expected to see.
567
00:29:48,138 --> 00:29:49,397
Yeah. How can i say no to that?
568
00:29:49,438 --> 00:29:50,797
I'm sorry.
569
00:29:52,697 --> 00:29:55,097
Vanessa. Vanessa. Hey.
570
00:29:55,138 --> 00:29:57,697
This is a surprise.
571
00:29:57,738 --> 00:29:59,797
Funny. I could say the same thing.
572
00:29:59,838 --> 00:30:02,697
What... what are you doing here?
I'm writing an american history paper.
573
00:30:02,738 --> 00:30:04,197
Wait. That was supposed to be you.
574
00:30:04,238 --> 00:30:08,397
When did we start lying to each other?
I-i merely refrained from sharing the truth,
575
00:30:08,438 --> 00:30:10,197
which would have sounded a lot more like a lie
576
00:30:10,238 --> 00:30:11,597
than what i told you. Humphrey.
577
00:30:11,638 --> 00:30:14,097
I'm... i didn't understand that either, i admit,
578
00:30:14,138 --> 00:30:17,397
but what was i going to say?
That i was renting a tuxedo
579
00:30:17,438 --> 00:30:20,497
to attend a masked ball without
a mask or an invitation
580
00:30:20,538 --> 00:30:23,397
to go get a girl who not only
has a mask and an invitation,
581
00:30:23,438 --> 00:30:26,597
but another date?
At least it's honest.
582
00:30:26,638 --> 00:30:30,397
You... you hate this world.
So do you, or so i thought.
583
00:30:30,438 --> 00:30:31,697
All right, what's going on exactly?
584
00:30:31,738 --> 00:30:34,997
Did you follow me here to
prove that i was lying?
585
00:30:35,038 --> 00:30:37,197
Yes, dan, that's why i'm here.
586
00:30:37,238 --> 00:30:40,097
I stalked you because i am
just so obsessed with you.
587
00:30:40,138 --> 00:30:40,897
Wait. Don't stop there.
588
00:30:40,938 --> 00:30:42,597
You're the whole reason i
came back to new york,
589
00:30:42,638 --> 00:30:45,797
'cause i just couldn't stop thinking
about you. All right, i get the point.
You can lay off the sarcasm...
590
00:30:45,838 --> 00:30:50,397
how about i lay off the whole evening?
Bye. Wait, wait, wait, stop.
591
00:30:50,438 --> 00:30:53,097
Hold on. Listen. I'm... i'm sorry.
592
00:30:53,197 --> 00:30:56,797
I'm sorry that i lied about writing a
term paper. You said you love me.
593
00:31:03,197 --> 00:31:05,397
Loved you...
594
00:31:05,438 --> 00:31:09,797
in the past and in a preshaving,
16-year-old kind of way.
595
00:31:09,838 --> 00:31:12,197
You know, i mean,
things have changed.
596
00:31:14,697 --> 00:31:16,197
(voice breaks) clearly.
597
00:31:16,238 --> 00:31:18,497
Looks like someone's traded up.
598
00:31:21,097 --> 00:31:22,397
So that's, um...
599
00:31:22,438 --> 00:31:24,397
vanessa, yeah. She's...
600
00:31:25,697 --> 00:31:27,397
beautiful.
601
00:31:27,597 --> 00:31:29,997
I-i-i have to go after her. I'm sorry.
602
00:31:36,297 --> 00:31:37,897
Feel free to find me.
603
00:31:37,938 --> 00:31:39,397
I found your pants.
604
00:31:39,438 --> 00:31:40,397
Well, you're getting warmer,
605
00:31:40,438 --> 00:31:43,697
which is an achievement considering
you're already hot.
606
00:31:43,897 --> 00:31:46,597
Well, you better hope it doesn't get cold.
607
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:49,197
What is that supposed to mean?
608
00:31:52,897 --> 00:31:53,897
What the hell?!
609
00:31:53,938 --> 00:31:57,897
Hey, my phone is in my pants,
and i'm stuck up here, bitch!
610
00:31:59,597 --> 00:32:00,997
(dan) vanessa!
611
00:32:01,097 --> 00:32:02,697
Vanessa, wait, please.
612
00:32:02,738 --> 00:32:04,897
Why won't you wait?
Come here... oh.
613
00:32:04,938 --> 00:32:08,197
Because you're not vanessa.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
614
00:32:08,238 --> 00:32:09,997
Case of mistaken identity.
615
00:32:10,038 --> 00:32:13,397
Ironically, not involving masks.
616
00:32:24,097 --> 00:32:25,497
Lily.
617
00:32:25,797 --> 00:32:27,097
There you are.
618
00:32:29,597 --> 00:32:32,297
Oh, i just needed a moment.
619
00:32:32,338 --> 00:32:34,597
That... what just happened... the kiss?
620
00:32:34,638 --> 00:32:36,597
Yeah, it made me feel a little... nostalgic?
621
00:32:36,638 --> 00:32:40,197
Nauseous. Right, um, ouch.
622
00:32:40,238 --> 00:32:43,397
No, i'm... i'm kidding, kind of.
623
00:32:43,438 --> 00:32:44,797
I'm sorry, rufus.
624
00:32:44,838 --> 00:32:48,997
I-i... maybe i shouldn't have
asked you here.
625
00:32:50,697 --> 00:32:53,897
Right, um, and, um,
626
00:32:53,938 --> 00:32:56,097
i'm sorry i kissed you, but i did it because
627
00:32:56,138 --> 00:32:58,697
that mercenary in the starched white shirt...
628
00:32:58,738 --> 00:33:01,297
he doesn't appreciate
everything you have
629
00:33:01,338 --> 00:33:03,797
over an attractive
25-year-old mannequin.
630
00:33:03,838 --> 00:33:06,297
'Cause beauty fades,
631
00:33:06,697 --> 00:33:09,697
though yours has done a
remarkable job of holding on,
632
00:33:09,738 --> 00:33:12,597
and in the long run,
it's gonna be his loss.
633
00:33:13,497 --> 00:33:16,897
And i thought he should know
how it feels to lose you.
634
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:21,797
'Cause trust me, it's not fun.
635
00:33:33,397 --> 00:33:35,197
I think it worked.
636
00:33:35,238 --> 00:33:37,897
Lily, may i speak with you for a moment?
637
00:33:38,097 --> 00:33:39,697
If you'll excuse us.
638
00:33:45,497 --> 00:33:47,597
Happy to help.
639
00:33:48,597 --> 00:33:50,697
(whispers) she means nothing.
640
00:34:26,897 --> 00:34:29,297
Jenny? Hey.
641
00:34:29,338 --> 00:34:30,997
Serena.
642
00:34:31,197 --> 00:34:33,997
Um, look, you didn't see me here, okay?
643
00:34:34,038 --> 00:34:36,397
Yeah, don't worry about it.
Just one in a series of things
644
00:34:36,438 --> 00:34:40,197
i'll pretend didn't happen tonight.
Is everything okay?
645
00:34:40,238 --> 00:34:43,597
I'm not sure.
Dan surprised me by showing up here.
646
00:34:43,638 --> 00:34:46,797
Well, go, dan!
Yeah, except then he threw me for a loop
647
00:34:46,838 --> 00:34:48,997
by chasing after some girl named vanessa.
648
00:34:49,038 --> 00:34:52,597
No,v.'s dan's best friend.
Yeah, well, they seemed like
a little more than that.
649
00:34:55,497 --> 00:34:58,597
They've kind of got a history, don't they?
650
00:34:59,897 --> 00:35:01,397
Sure.
651
00:35:01,997 --> 00:35:05,297
But, i mean, dan's never liked a girl like he likes you.
652
00:35:05,338 --> 00:35:07,997
Really. I mean, come on.
He's at a masked ball,
653
00:35:08,097 --> 00:35:11,197
and i think he'd go basically
anywhere with you...
654
00:35:11,897 --> 00:35:13,097
except for maybe the ice capades
655
00:35:13,138 --> 00:35:15,397
'cause that really freaked him
out when he was 5.
656
00:35:18,997 --> 00:35:20,497
You know what? I...
657
00:35:21,097 --> 00:35:23,497
i think i'll go and try to find him.
658
00:35:23,797 --> 00:35:25,297
I don't know how i'm
gonna find anyone.
659
00:35:25,338 --> 00:35:28,697
This stupid mask keeps
falling over my eyes.
660
00:35:28,738 --> 00:35:31,497
Well, i'd give you mine,
but masks come off at midnight,
661
00:35:31,538 --> 00:35:34,097
and i kind of need my disguise
to get out of here.
662
00:35:34,297 --> 00:35:35,897
You know what? You wanna trade?
663
00:35:36,597 --> 00:35:37,797
Sure.
664
00:35:37,897 --> 00:35:39,297
Thanks.
665
00:35:39,338 --> 00:35:41,797
And here, take this. It's so hot in here,
666
00:35:41,838 --> 00:35:43,897
and you'll probably be cold outside.
667
00:35:44,097 --> 00:35:45,197
Here you go.
668
00:35:46,597 --> 00:35:48,197
Did you have fun tonight?
669
00:35:48,697 --> 00:35:50,597
It was everything i hoped.
670
00:35:51,097 --> 00:35:52,297
Good.
671
00:35:53,797 --> 00:35:56,297
Okay, let's see. Here.
672
00:35:56,338 --> 00:35:58,097
Oh, thanks. Pretty.
673
00:36:02,797 --> 00:36:05,097
Serena, just don't say anything
and let me explain.
674
00:36:05,138 --> 00:36:06,397
(under breath) oh, my god.
675
00:36:07,397 --> 00:36:09,697
I've been trying to do the right thing,
but it's killing me.
676
00:36:09,738 --> 00:36:11,397
Look, i know we both care about blair,
but maybe
677
00:36:11,438 --> 00:36:13,397
the best thing is for me to just
tell her the truth.
678
00:36:13,438 --> 00:36:17,197
I'm not over you, and i thought
i could fight it, but i can't.
679
00:36:19,197 --> 00:36:21,597
And if you don't stop me, i'm gonna kiss you.
680
00:36:22,697 --> 00:36:24,297
Oh!
681
00:36:26,697 --> 00:36:27,997
Nate?
682
00:36:28,597 --> 00:36:29,697
Wh...
683
00:36:29,738 --> 00:36:30,997
nate, what are you doing?
It's almost midnight.
684
00:36:31,038 --> 00:36:33,297
You have to find blair.
Look, okay, whatever.
685
00:36:33,338 --> 00:36:35,197
Just forget the clue.
She's wearing big, tall boots
686
00:36:35,238 --> 00:36:38,097
and a big old crown.
Just go, okay? Hurry.
687
00:36:43,197 --> 00:36:45,797
Serena, have you seen nate? Hey!
688
00:36:52,697 --> 00:36:56,597
(all) five, four, three, two, one!
689
00:36:56,638 --> 00:36:57,197
Jenny.
690
00:36:57,238 --> 00:36:59,497
It's midnight! Masks off!
691
00:37:06,497 --> 00:37:07,697
Serena.
692
00:37:07,738 --> 00:37:10,097
Serena! Sere... serena, wait.
693
00:37:10,138 --> 00:37:12,197
I'm so sorry. Serena!
694
00:37:23,197 --> 00:37:25,397
Little jenny humphrey
manages to get my pants off
695
00:37:25,438 --> 00:37:26,797
and have me not enjoy it.
696
00:37:26,838 --> 00:37:29,097
Quite the accomplishment.
697
00:37:30,197 --> 00:37:31,597
Good thing someone else at the party
698
00:37:31,638 --> 00:37:32,697
was as lecherous as you,
699
00:37:32,738 --> 00:37:35,497
or you'd still be up
on that roof, and, no,
700
00:37:35,538 --> 00:37:38,697
i don't want to know what
you had to do to get that tux.
701
00:37:38,897 --> 00:37:40,397
This is me.
702
00:37:40,697 --> 00:37:42,697
All right, chuck, i'll see you in the a.m.
703
00:37:43,497 --> 00:37:45,897
Unh-unh. No, you didn't find me by midnight.
704
00:37:45,938 --> 00:37:47,997
No happily ever after for you.
705
00:37:48,597 --> 00:37:50,797
Blair, i'm... i'm sorry.
706
00:37:51,597 --> 00:37:53,897
(sighs) all i wanted was for us to start over,
707
00:37:55,497 --> 00:37:57,197
and you didn't even try.
708
00:38:13,397 --> 00:38:16,197
(chuck) well, at least
somebody's having a good night.
709
00:38:22,797 --> 00:38:23,297
(cell phone rings) hello?
710
00:38:23,338 --> 00:38:26,097
Serena, hey.
What... will you please just talk to me?
711
00:38:26,138 --> 00:38:28,197
Please. Why did you run away from me?
712
00:38:28,238 --> 00:38:29,197
Wait. What are you talking about?
713
00:38:29,238 --> 00:38:31,897
You're the one that ran away. I don't think so.
714
00:38:31,938 --> 00:38:34,397
Blonde hair, yellow dress, black furry thing?
715
00:38:34,438 --> 00:38:36,897
There is only one serena van der woodsen.
716
00:38:36,938 --> 00:38:38,797
Yeah, no, not tonight.
717
00:38:42,697 --> 00:38:44,197
Let me say...
718
00:38:44,797 --> 00:38:46,397
for the record...
719
00:38:47,097 --> 00:38:48,497
i like you.
720
00:38:49,097 --> 00:38:50,797
Only you.
721
00:38:52,097 --> 00:38:56,497
Well, that's good, because i
feel the same about you.
722
00:38:56,897 --> 00:38:58,397
I'm glad that's cleared up.
723
00:39:05,397 --> 00:39:06,697
Hey, um, you know,
724
00:39:06,738 --> 00:39:08,797
i hear the ice capades are coming to town.
725
00:39:08,838 --> 00:39:12,097
Mm. If you're there, so am i.
726
00:39:25,397 --> 00:39:26,597
Hey.
727
00:39:27,797 --> 00:39:29,297
You guys are up late.
728
00:39:29,897 --> 00:39:31,297
We were celebrating.
729
00:39:31,338 --> 00:39:33,997
Eleanor waldorf has agreed to
let your father's firm
730
00:39:34,038 --> 00:39:35,997
take her company public.
731
00:39:36,797 --> 00:39:38,497
Congrats. That's great news.
732
00:39:38,538 --> 00:39:41,197
It is, which is why i was looking
for a wine opener
733
00:39:41,238 --> 00:39:43,697
so i could surprise your father with
a bottle of margaux,
734
00:39:43,738 --> 00:39:46,897
which is how i found this.
735
00:39:52,497 --> 00:39:56,197
Well, what do you have to say
for yourself, nate?
736
00:39:56,597 --> 00:39:57,197
What?
737
00:39:57,238 --> 00:40:00,697
Well, it isn't mine, and it isn't your father's,
738
00:40:00,738 --> 00:40:03,397
so that only leaves one other
person in this house.
739
00:40:09,497 --> 00:40:11,197
Hey, you're still up.
740
00:40:11,238 --> 00:40:13,997
Yeah, not that tired.
Well, i am. I'm exhausted.
741
00:40:14,038 --> 00:40:16,197
I ended up going to that ball, actually.
742
00:40:16,238 --> 00:40:17,297
Oh, really?
743
00:40:17,338 --> 00:40:18,497
Yeah.
744
00:40:19,197 --> 00:40:20,897
Well, your night's not over.
745
00:40:21,797 --> 00:40:23,497
There's someone here to see you.
746
00:40:31,497 --> 00:40:34,597
Pierogis? I come in peace.
747
00:40:34,638 --> 00:40:38,197
Great. 'cause i'm starving.
748
00:40:46,797 --> 00:40:47,197
(sighs deeply) look...
749
00:40:47,238 --> 00:40:50,797
save it, humphrey.
You've never done contrite well.
750
00:40:51,097 --> 00:40:53,197
Besides, i'm the
one who should apologize.
751
00:40:53,238 --> 00:40:55,897
No, really, i am.
I should have told you about serena.
752
00:40:55,938 --> 00:40:58,897
And i should have asked you.
Well, i shouldn't have lied about tonight.
753
00:40:58,938 --> 00:41:01,197
And i shouldn't have run out on you.
754
00:41:02,997 --> 00:41:04,997
Look, if we're gonna be friends again,
755
00:41:05,197 --> 00:41:07,297
we're gonna have to figure this stuff out.
756
00:41:08,697 --> 00:41:10,097
You're right,
757
00:41:10,197 --> 00:41:11,797
and i've missed having a friend.
758
00:41:11,838 --> 00:41:13,597
I've missed being one.
759
00:41:13,997 --> 00:41:16,197
We can start slow, with the basics.
760
00:41:16,238 --> 00:41:19,097
Like, uh, fewer lies, more ukrainian food.
761
00:41:19,138 --> 00:41:20,197
And you telling me
762
00:41:20,238 --> 00:41:22,297
about everything i missed while i was gone,
763
00:41:22,497 --> 00:41:24,497
such as serena.
764
00:41:28,497 --> 00:41:31,697
Well, she's pretty fantastic,
765
00:41:31,738 --> 00:41:33,397
almost as good as this pierogi.
766
00:41:33,438 --> 00:41:35,597
Yeah, she's got this crazy
mother who's always, like,
767
00:41:35,638 --> 00:41:38,997
sparring with me, and this...
and this best friend
768
00:41:39,307 --> 00:41:41,097
who's very hard for me to deal with.
769
00:41:41,497 --> 00:41:44,197
The best friend has a boyfriend
who's hard for me to deal with.
770
00:41:44,238 --> 00:41:47,097
It's... it's all very hard for me.
It's very hard for me.
771
00:41:47,138 --> 00:41:57,097
