of the Manhattan elite.
3
00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:08,821
- I get into Columbia.
- And what if Columbia's a disaster,
4
00:00:08,822 --> 00:00:11,877
- and we lost each other for good?
- And what if it's amazing
5
00:00:11,878 --> 00:00:14,250
and we become closer
than we've ever been?
6
00:00:14,251 --> 00:00:19,426
I'm not seeing anybody else,
nor do I want to, if you don't.
7
00:00:19,427 --> 00:00:20,320
Last night...
8
00:00:20,321 --> 00:00:21,615
don't even finish those words
9
00:00:21,616 --> 00:00:24,269
unless... unless they
end with "was a mistake."
10
00:00:24,270 --> 00:00:27,205
Ben's my brother. He takes
a lot of time and energy.
11
00:00:27,206 --> 00:00:28,100
How are things going?
12
00:00:28,101 --> 00:00:30,766
The guys were easy, but
the girls are presenting
13
00:00:30,767 --> 00:00:32,448
a little bit more of a challenge.
14
00:00:32,449 --> 00:00:34,800
I know what you did, Blair.
It's despicable, even for you.
15
00:00:34,801 --> 00:00:37,554
Do you hate me so much you
can't stand to see me happy?
16
00:00:37,555 --> 00:00:38,210
No.
17
00:00:38,211 --> 00:00:41,513
Why did you drive the person
I care most about out of town?
18
00:00:41,514 --> 00:00:43,477
You just brought back my worst self.

Sync By YYeTs
20
00:00:57,858 --> 00:01:02,346
Morning on the Upper East Side,
where even our own blonde birdie
21
00:01:02,347 --> 00:01:06,773
has been spotted flying the coop early
to make it to her morning classes.
22
00:01:06,856 --> 00:01:11,239
Leave it to Serena Van Der
Woodsen to make geek chic.
23
00:01:11,262 --> 00:01:13,834
Who knew Ivy would look so good on her?
24
00:01:17,297 --> 00:01:20,010
Hey! Hey! Hey! Are you
kidding me? Hey, you again.
25
00:01:20,011 --> 00:01:22,929
Yes, me again, getting
my cab taken by you again.
26
00:01:23,184 --> 00:01:25,260
Nice bag. I like it better than
the one you had the other day.
27
00:01:25,261 --> 00:01:27,055
Thank you. It's supposed
to be at class with me.
28
00:01:27,056 --> 00:01:29,277
I can't be late again,
so if don't mind...
29
00:01:29,278 --> 00:01:31,637
Sorry. She had an audition. Something...
30
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:34,062
Ah. I think a talking dog was involved.
31
00:01:34,465 --> 00:01:35,783
Yeah, I know the feeling.
32
00:01:35,784 --> 00:01:36,934
Why don't you let me make it up to you?
33
00:01:36,935 --> 00:01:39,652
Buy you a drink sometime? Are
you seriously hitting on me
34
00:01:39,653 --> 00:01:41,749
while still holding your date's shoes?
35
00:01:43,229 --> 00:01:44,413
Well, if you change your mind,
36
00:01:44,414 --> 00:01:46,439
the king Cole bar is
the only place in town
37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,814
that still makes a red snapper.
You look like you're about a size 8?
38
00:02:02,604 --> 00:02:03,541
Taxi!
39
00:02:06,276 --> 00:02:11,047
Indra Nooyi, Ann Moore, Andrea jung.
Why are these all businesswomen?
40
00:02:11,158 --> 00:02:13,085
We color-coded for easy reference.
41
00:02:13,086 --> 00:02:16,363
Businesswomen are in green.
Women in academia are in blue.
42
00:02:16,364 --> 00:02:17,792
Politics and government in red
43
00:02:17,793 --> 00:02:20,503
with a subsection on
royalty and dictators.
44
00:02:20,504 --> 00:02:24,361
Ooh, files. What's going on?
Researching women of power
45
00:02:24,362 --> 00:02:27,200
so I can better forge
my path to become one.
46
00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:29,538
Sarah Louise Palin?
47
00:02:29,768 --> 00:02:31,958
Do you even want to be a Minion?
48
00:02:32,188 --> 00:02:34,952
B., uh, can I talk to you
for a minute? I need advice.
49
00:02:34,953 --> 00:02:37,613
Yes. Five paces behind for privacy.
50
00:02:37,688 --> 00:02:38,710
Ten for you.
51
00:02:39,029 --> 00:02:39,623
What?
52
00:02:39,624 --> 00:02:42,374
How are you? I've
barely seen you all week.
53
00:02:42,375 --> 00:02:43,698
Uh, I've been great.
54
00:02:43,699 --> 00:02:45,749
You know, with Dan and Nate behind me,
55
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:48,820
I really feel like I can bury
the old me and start anew.
56
00:02:48,821 --> 00:02:50,111
May you rest in peace.
57
00:02:50,112 --> 00:02:51,693
The only problem is, I've been late
58
00:02:51,694 --> 00:02:53,520
for my English lit class a few times,
59
00:02:53,521 --> 00:02:55,875
and lates count as
absences, which is 10%...
60
00:02:55,876 --> 00:02:58,859
oh, if only there were a device
of some kind to keep the time.
61
00:02:59,392 --> 00:03:01,004
S., listen to me.
62
00:03:01,278 --> 00:03:03,014
College professors have a God complex,
63
00:03:03,015 --> 00:03:05,255
so just meet with him
and say you're sorry.
64
00:03:05,256 --> 00:03:07,762
The simplest way to turn
an enemy into a friend
65
00:03:07,763 --> 00:03:09,441
is to seek their counsel.
66
00:03:09,694 --> 00:03:10,859
Who taught you that?
67
00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:13,026
One of your Asian "art of war" gurus?
68
00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:14,307
Martha Chamberlin.
69
00:03:14,308 --> 00:03:15,516
She's guest lecturing a series called
70
00:03:15,517 --> 00:03:17,612
the psychology of business.
71
00:03:17,613 --> 00:03:19,514
I'm heading to the
registrar's to sign up.
72
00:03:19,515 --> 00:03:23,352
Oh, I love her. B., how do you do it?
73
00:03:23,353 --> 00:03:26,440
Chuck declares war, and you
simply up your class load.
74
00:03:26,441 --> 00:03:29,652
The more time I spend on
campus, the safer I am.
75
00:03:29,653 --> 00:03:33,305
Chuck is allergic to education
and bettering himself.
76
00:03:33,306 --> 00:03:36,174
Well, I'm not, so if I'm
gonna work on my new self,
77
00:03:36,175 --> 00:03:37,800
I should head to the library.
78
00:03:37,801 --> 00:03:39,902
Sign me up for Martha's
class. We'll go together.
79
00:03:43,052 --> 00:03:44,569
Your guitar tuner? Really?
80
00:03:44,570 --> 00:03:46,637
You have the worst poker face ever.
81
00:03:48,275 --> 00:03:51,151
Okay. Fine. Dan hasn't
been returning my calls,
82
00:03:51,152 --> 00:03:52,283
and I wanted to make sure
83
00:03:52,284 --> 00:03:53,900
everything was okay with you guys.
84
00:03:54,542 --> 00:03:56,911
Everything is better than okay.
85
00:03:56,912 --> 00:03:58,776
Dan and I had a marathon talk...
86
00:03:58,936 --> 00:04:02,384
everything that we haven't
dealt with, including Serena.
87
00:04:02,752 --> 00:04:06,114
And from now on, there's no
more secrets or surprises.
88
00:04:06,485 --> 00:04:08,191
Well, that's great.
89
00:04:09,593 --> 00:04:11,207
Never doubted you guys for a second.
90
00:04:11,450 --> 00:04:12,668
Seriously?
91
00:04:12,950 --> 00:04:15,523
You need to practice in
the mirror or something.
92
00:04:15,796 --> 00:04:18,207
I don't know how they let you
live on the Upper East Side.
93
00:04:19,445 --> 00:04:21,770
That's great you and Vanessa
sorted everything out, Dan.
94
00:04:21,897 --> 00:04:23,054
You know, we should double.
95
00:04:23,274 --> 00:04:26,028
Juliet and I are going to
this faculty and friends mixer
96
00:04:26,029 --> 00:04:27,116
tomorrow night at the Hamilton house.
97
00:04:27,117 --> 00:04:28,138
You guys wanna come?
98
00:04:28,527 --> 00:04:29,902
Mm, no.
99
00:04:29,903 --> 00:04:31,797
There's free appetizers, Humphrey.
100
00:04:31,861 --> 00:04:35,157
Oh. Okay. Fine. You wanna
go see a movie afterward?
101
00:04:35,354 --> 00:04:36,676
No can do.
102
00:04:36,808 --> 00:04:37,882
Oh, come on.
103
00:04:37,883 --> 00:04:39,371
It doesn't even have to have subtitles.
104
00:04:39,372 --> 00:04:40,554
That sounds great.
105
00:04:40,627 --> 00:04:43,099
No, Juliet and I have this
nice little evening planned
106
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:43,927
after the mixer.
107
00:04:43,928 --> 00:04:46,167
Got some champagne, new Matteo sheets,
108
00:04:46,595 --> 00:04:48,744
and I'm hoping some
recently purchased lingerie.
109
00:04:49,507 --> 00:04:50,659
It's for her, right?
110
00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:53,422
Wait a second. I'm sorry.
You guys haven't, uh...
111
00:04:53,423 --> 00:04:55,142
No, I haven't. No.
112
00:04:55,402 --> 00:04:56,823
I did the spend the night at her place,
113
00:04:56,824 --> 00:04:58,824
but I took a page from
the old Humphrey playbook,
114
00:04:58,825 --> 00:05:00,687
and we just talked and played scrabble.
115
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:03,082
That's nice.
116
00:05:03,083 --> 00:05:04,065
Thanks.
117
00:05:04,265 --> 00:05:07,339
By the way, thank you
for, uh, inviting me today.
118
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:08,787
You know, after everything
that's happened between us...
119
00:05:08,788 --> 00:05:10,181
yeah, yeah. I missed you, too.
120
00:05:11,239 --> 00:05:13,619
No hugs. You're not getting a hug.
121
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:14,330
Not one?
122
00:05:14,331 --> 00:05:15,270
Not one.
123
00:05:16,113 --> 00:05:17,820
I'm sorry I didn't visit last week.
124
00:05:17,821 --> 00:05:19,965
Things are really ramping up at school.
125
00:05:20,458 --> 00:05:21,393
The good news is
126
00:05:21,394 --> 00:05:24,978
that Serena is now isolated
from both Dan and Nate.
127
00:05:24,979 --> 00:05:26,167
What about Blair?
128
00:05:26,201 --> 00:05:28,864
Blair will get distracted eventually.
129
00:05:28,865 --> 00:05:31,160
Oh, come on. It was only a few weeks ago
130
00:05:31,161 --> 00:05:33,479
I went after Serena at Hamilton house.
131
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,452
If I get caught trying to
get her expelled, it's over.
132
00:05:37,267 --> 00:05:39,025
Not if you have a fall guy.
133
00:05:39,924 --> 00:05:40,959
Maybe...
134
00:05:41,699 --> 00:05:45,506
Someone with pretty blue eyes
and a history with Serena?
135
00:05:46,114 --> 00:05:47,841
Have you been spying on me?
136
00:05:48,822 --> 00:05:51,851
Spying implies a lack of trust,
137
00:05:51,953 --> 00:05:54,029
and I know that I can trust you.
138
00:05:54,030 --> 00:05:57,822
I'm only dating Nate to
stay in Serena's orbit.
139
00:05:57,823 --> 00:06:01,345
Good, because we agreed
that we would not stop
140
00:06:01,346 --> 00:06:03,810
until Serena was left with nothing,
141
00:06:03,996 --> 00:06:05,538
just like I was.
142
00:06:06,344 --> 00:06:09,857
And the next thing to
take from her is Columbia.
143
00:06:09,933 --> 00:06:12,032
And seeing as how you're
in with these people,
144
00:06:12,033 --> 00:06:14,327
it shouldn't be too hard, right?
145
00:06:16,739 --> 00:06:18,080
I know what to do.
146
00:06:40,328 --> 00:06:41,287
There you are.
147
00:06:41,298 --> 00:06:44,456
Where do I sign up for Ms.
Chamberlin's lecture series?
148
00:06:51,981 --> 00:06:54,497
What are you doing here?
149
00:06:54,498 --> 00:06:55,809
Go, lions.
150
00:06:56,539 --> 00:06:59,975
No. That's impossible, even for you.
151
00:06:59,976 --> 00:07:00,763
The dean's extended me
152
00:07:00,764 --> 00:07:03,259
the courtesy of auditing a few classes.
153
00:07:03,260 --> 00:07:05,645
We felt it was important I
get a feel for campus life
154
00:07:05,646 --> 00:07:06,597
before breaking ground
155
00:07:06,598 --> 00:07:10,388
on the new Bart Bass memorial rotunda.
156
00:07:10,389 --> 00:07:11,109
What?
157
00:07:11,110 --> 00:07:13,334
It's a building with
a circular ground plan,
158
00:07:13,335 --> 00:07:14,484
usually covered by a dome.
159
00:07:14,485 --> 00:07:16,883
I know what a rotunda
is! You can't be here.
160
00:07:16,884 --> 00:07:19,160
Columbia's mine. What do you want?
161
00:07:19,161 --> 00:07:21,385
Funny, last time we spoke, I
thought I was crystal clear.
162
00:07:21,386 --> 00:07:23,439
You took away what I cared about most.
163
00:07:23,678 --> 00:07:27,788
To return the favor, I'm going
to take Columbia away from you.
164
00:07:32,149 --> 00:07:32,996
Come back later
165
00:07:32,997 --> 00:07:35,356
and sign me and Serena
up for Martha's class.
166
00:07:35,562 --> 00:07:37,679
But do it quietly. I
don't want Chuck to know.
167
00:07:41,288 --> 00:07:42,089
Go!
168
00:07:48,890 --> 00:07:50,449
This just in...
169
00:07:50,450 --> 00:07:53,344
looks like you can take
the girl out of the party,
170
00:07:53,345 --> 00:07:55,752
but not the party out of the girl.
171
00:07:56,470 --> 00:07:58,774
* I'm livin' in the 21st century *
172
00:07:58,775 --> 00:08:00,433
* Doin' something mean to it *
173
00:08:00,434 --> 00:08:03,528
* Do it better than anybody
you ever seen do it *
174
00:08:03,529 --> 00:08:05,893
* Screams from the
haters, got a nice... *
175
00:08:05,894 --> 00:08:08,011
Rumor has it our favorite blonde
176
00:08:08,012 --> 00:08:10,872
could be spreading more
than just good cheer.
177
00:08:12,376 --> 00:08:15,330
And if it's true, then
there's a test out there
178
00:08:15,331 --> 00:08:18,261
a few of you might not be able to pass.
179
00:08:18,481 --> 00:08:22,141
Does s.V.W. Have an s.T.D.?
180
00:08:38,263 --> 00:08:40,268
I mean, who would lie
to Gossip Girl like that?
181
00:08:40,269 --> 00:08:41,109
Do you really want a list?
182
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:42,739
Because I don't know if
I have that kind of time.
183
00:08:42,740 --> 00:08:45,015
A good scandal is one
thing, but even Gossip Girl
184
00:08:45,016 --> 00:08:47,784
likes to keep things
classy and somewhat true.
185
00:08:48,851 --> 00:08:50,805
I just wanted to focus on school.
186
00:08:50,806 --> 00:08:52,302
Well, don't let this stop you.
187
00:08:52,303 --> 00:08:53,446
Without someone confirming the rumor,
188
00:08:53,447 --> 00:08:54,440
it'll blow over by lunch.
189
00:08:54,441 --> 00:08:56,952
And just keep doing what you're
doing. Hold your head high.
190
00:08:56,953 --> 00:09:00,183
This is our school. We were
here first. Damn him to hell.
191
00:09:00,451 --> 00:09:01,406
Why do I get the feeling
192
00:09:01,407 --> 00:09:03,882
your pep talk is not
entirely meant for me?
193
00:09:04,658 --> 00:09:06,758
Chuck is here, at Columbia.
194
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:08,827
Wow. He's bringing the battle to campus?
195
00:09:08,828 --> 00:09:11,274
Yes. Well, I already have a battle plan.
196
00:09:11,275 --> 00:09:14,132
I found out that Martha Chamberlin
takes a student assistant
197
00:09:14,133 --> 00:09:15,066
when she lectures.
198
00:09:15,067 --> 00:09:16,929
That position will be
my own private island
199
00:09:16,930 --> 00:09:18,714
against the storm that is Chuck Bass.
200
00:09:19,154 --> 00:09:21,632
If you're not gonna let a
disease like Chuck deter you,
201
00:09:21,633 --> 00:09:23,321
what leg do I have to stand on?
202
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,249
I'm gonna go plant myself in the quad,
203
00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:26,903
act like I don't have
a care in the world,
204
00:09:26,922 --> 00:09:29,074
and e-mail my Professor
to see when he can meet.
205
00:09:33,377 --> 00:09:36,904
Okay, it says here that you
both slept with Serena...
206
00:09:36,984 --> 00:09:39,786
And Vanessa, and that Vanessa
also slept with Chuck...
207
00:09:39,787 --> 00:09:40,411
Yeah.
208
00:09:40,412 --> 00:09:41,669
Who slept with Blair?
209
00:09:41,926 --> 00:09:43,394
All that's on "Gossip Girl"?
210
00:09:43,467 --> 00:09:44,750
Yeah, she made a chart, actually,
211
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:46,224
which I have to say is very helpful.
212
00:09:46,225 --> 00:09:47,724
Oh, God.
213
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:49,495
Can we talk?
214
00:09:49,779 --> 00:09:50,688
Yeah.
215
00:09:55,290 --> 00:09:57,523
Thank you for meeting
me before your game.
216
00:09:57,524 --> 00:10:00,747
I just... I thought that
we should talk about this
217
00:10:00,976 --> 00:10:03,640
before we spend our
first night together.
218
00:10:04,295 --> 00:10:06,502
You know it's just a
rumor. It's not true.
219
00:10:07,463 --> 00:10:08,159
And even if it was,
220
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,572
I haven't slept with Serena
since, like, last spring.
221
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:11,526
So?
222
00:10:11,619 --> 00:10:15,321
So I think I would, you know, know.
223
00:10:15,457 --> 00:10:18,208
Nate, symptoms can be dormant for months
224
00:10:18,209 --> 00:10:21,200
or not even appear at all.
You could still be a carrier.
225
00:10:22,014 --> 00:10:22,714
What?
226
00:10:22,715 --> 00:10:23,623
I'm a girl.
227
00:10:23,624 --> 00:10:26,345
I paid attention in health class.
228
00:10:26,592 --> 00:10:28,027
So you want me to get tested?
229
00:10:31,498 --> 00:10:34,138
I mean, I'm not worried, but
if it makes you feel better,
230
00:10:34,139 --> 00:10:36,127
I'll swing by the health
clinic after the game.
231
00:10:36,209 --> 00:10:39,114
Thank you. And I promise you,
232
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,886
when you see the outfit I
bought for tomorrow night,
233
00:10:42,441 --> 00:10:44,016
it'll be well worth it.
234
00:10:48,964 --> 00:10:50,455
Vanessa, like I told you on the phone,
235
00:10:50,456 --> 00:10:51,840
I'm sure it's totally false.
236
00:10:51,841 --> 00:10:53,831
And... and what business
is it of yours anyway?
237
00:10:53,832 --> 00:10:54,861
You and I both got tested
238
00:10:54,862 --> 00:10:56,847
when we first started sleeping
together. You remember that?
239
00:10:56,848 --> 00:10:59,078
I sure do, and I have not
been with anyone else since.
240
00:10:59,079 --> 00:11:02,437
Dan, Serena was sleeping in your
bed and wearing your t-shirt.
241
00:11:02,438 --> 00:11:04,702
If something else
happened, I need to know.
242
00:11:04,703 --> 00:11:06,091
Nothing else happened.
243
00:11:06,092 --> 00:11:08,177
W-what... what happened
to our big talk?
244
00:11:08,934 --> 00:11:09,991
'Cause honestly, I
don't know if I can have
245
00:11:09,992 --> 00:11:11,918
this same conversation one more time.
246
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:17,537
I'm sorry. You're right. It's
just... the blast freaked me out.
247
00:11:17,538 --> 00:11:19,776
It's okay. I promise.
248
00:11:19,777 --> 00:11:21,843
I promise you have
nothing to worry about.
249
00:11:22,583 --> 00:11:23,946
All right? I'll call you after the game.
250
00:11:32,967 --> 00:11:35,047
Serena. Hi.
251
00:11:36,108 --> 00:11:37,114
How are you?
252
00:11:37,789 --> 00:11:40,130
Great. Why wouldn't I
be? If you're referring to
253
00:11:40,131 --> 00:11:42,266
the unconfirmed vicious
rumor on "Gossip Girl,"
254
00:11:42,267 --> 00:11:44,433
you wouldn't have anything
to do with that, would you?
255
00:11:45,084 --> 00:11:48,841
No. Look, I just came over
here to tell you the way
256
00:11:48,842 --> 00:11:50,657
our English lit Professor called you out
257
00:11:50,658 --> 00:11:53,279
in front of the entire class?
You didn't deserve that.
258
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,261
And if there's anything that I can do...
259
00:11:55,411 --> 00:11:57,172
No, I already e-mailed him.
260
00:11:57,860 --> 00:11:59,931
I'm hoping to talk with
him myself tomorrow.
261
00:12:01,121 --> 00:12:02,082
Good.
262
00:12:02,892 --> 00:12:04,254
Well, anyhow...
263
00:12:06,882 --> 00:12:09,545
I really didn't have anything
to do with that blast.
264
00:12:10,021 --> 00:12:12,456
Believe me, it's the last
thing I would've wanted.
265
00:12:12,630 --> 00:12:13,684
What do you mean?
266
00:12:14,676 --> 00:12:17,771
Nate sort of freaked when he saw it.
267
00:12:18,211 --> 00:12:20,368
Freaked how? He doesn't believe it.
268
00:12:33,742 --> 00:12:34,753
Thanks for coming with me, man.
269
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:36,298
No problem. I shouldn't have told you
270
00:12:36,299 --> 00:12:38,068
about the cotton swab
thing. That was insensitive.
271
00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:39,662
But, you know, just think
about how happy you'll be
272
00:12:39,663 --> 00:12:41,033
with a clean bill of
health tomorrow, right?
273
00:12:41,034 --> 00:12:41,752
Yeah. Yeah.
274
00:12:41,753 --> 00:12:43,004
What the hell are you doing?
275
00:12:43,005 --> 00:12:45,183
And you? It's been what, two years?
276
00:12:45,184 --> 00:12:46,237
I'm a wingman.
277
00:12:47,636 --> 00:12:49,365
You wanna go sign me in and I'll
see you in there in a minute?
278
00:12:49,366 --> 00:12:50,239
Yeah, I'll step away now.
279
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:50,981
All right, cool.
280
00:12:50,982 --> 00:12:52,666
Nate, I know all about
your summer of love
281
00:12:52,667 --> 00:12:55,465
from Chuck's little black book,
and honestly, for your sake,
282
00:12:55,466 --> 00:12:57,822
I hope you do get tested.
But if you do it today,
283
00:12:57,823 --> 00:12:59,989
people will just think
that you believe the blast.
284
00:12:59,990 --> 00:13:02,037
You'll be confirming the rumor. Please.
285
00:13:02,538 --> 00:13:05,307
Please just wait a few
days or go somewhere else.
286
00:13:05,989 --> 00:13:09,509
Serena, there's someone else
I need to do this for. Okay?
287
00:13:09,510 --> 00:13:12,737
And right now she's
my priority, not you.
288
00:13:35,213 --> 00:13:38,380
* I wanna tell you there's
a really good reason *
289
00:13:38,975 --> 00:13:40,837
Ms. Chamberlin's largest client to date?
290
00:13:40,838 --> 00:13:42,550
National rifle association.
291
00:13:42,551 --> 00:13:44,442
She created the mama bears campaign,
292
00:13:44,443 --> 00:13:46,497
increased female membership by a third.
293
00:13:46,498 --> 00:13:47,859
And the cherry pie?
294
00:13:48,317 --> 00:13:51,112
Her first major success was
branding a cherry pie recipe
295
00:13:51,113 --> 00:13:52,246
for "better homes and gardens."
296
00:13:52,247 --> 00:13:53,640
How do you get from
"better homes and gardens"
297
00:13:53,641 --> 00:13:54,402
to the n.R.A.?
298
00:13:54,403 --> 00:13:55,977
It's a short trip, believe me.
299
00:13:56,043 --> 00:13:58,568
Ms. Chamberlin? I'm Blair Waldorf.
300
00:13:58,569 --> 00:14:00,495
I'll be in your psychology
of business class.
301
00:14:00,496 --> 00:14:04,004
Well, nice to meet you. I'm
not having office hours yet...
302
00:14:04,005 --> 00:14:06,840
actually, I was hoping we could
discuss the assistant position.
303
00:14:08,038 --> 00:14:09,147
I'm a big fan.
304
00:14:10,022 --> 00:14:12,476
Unfortunately, the
position has been filled.
305
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,043
By who?
306
00:14:21,128 --> 00:14:23,946
Ms. Chamberlin, whatever
Mr. Bass has told you,
307
00:14:23,947 --> 00:14:25,759
I assure you, he has no
interest in your class
308
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,355
or any idea who you even are.
309
00:14:27,884 --> 00:14:28,806
Thank you?
310
00:14:28,807 --> 00:14:31,666
On the contrary, once I
decided to rebrand the empire,
311
00:14:31,667 --> 00:14:33,450
there was only one name on my list.
312
00:14:33,676 --> 00:14:35,924
We can talk more as I
walk you to your limo.
313
00:14:35,925 --> 00:14:36,973
Thank you.
314
00:14:37,489 --> 00:14:38,789
Good day, Ms. Waldorf.
315
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:40,785
If you have any questions
regarding the class,
316
00:14:40,786 --> 00:14:42,720
Mr. Bass will answer them.
317
00:14:43,895 --> 00:14:45,494
Actually, it turns out
318
00:14:45,495 --> 00:14:47,650
Ms. Chamberlin's class is overenrolled.
319
00:14:47,651 --> 00:14:50,069
You didn't make the cut. Sorry.
320
00:14:52,475 --> 00:14:53,396
Mmm.
321
00:14:53,751 --> 00:14:56,413
I almost forgot how much
I used to enjoy your pie.
322
00:14:57,976 --> 00:14:59,836
Better batten down the hatches, b.
323
00:14:59,837 --> 00:15:02,137
Looks like your island in the storm
324
00:15:02,138 --> 00:15:05,590
was just hit by a Bass 5 hurricane.
325
00:15:18,628 --> 00:15:19,768
Where are you off to?
326
00:15:19,769 --> 00:15:20,923
Uh, campus.
327
00:15:21,111 --> 00:15:24,068
My Professor agreed to meet
with me during office hours.
328
00:15:24,069 --> 00:15:27,263
Oh, good for you. We can't let
the men of our past define us.
329
00:15:27,333 --> 00:15:30,770
They want us to lash out,
lower ourselves to their level.
330
00:15:30,774 --> 00:15:33,160
But it is our job to remain civilized.
331
00:15:33,161 --> 00:15:35,739
So you're gonna let Chuck have
the assistant position then?
332
00:15:36,288 --> 00:15:38,779
I said "civilized, " not "lobotomized."
333
00:15:40,987 --> 00:15:43,695
Oh, Ms. Chamberlin.
So good of you to come.
334
00:15:44,394 --> 00:15:46,493
Earl Grey, if I'm not mistaken?
335
00:15:47,393 --> 00:15:48,741
What is going on?
336
00:15:48,742 --> 00:15:50,287
It's better not to know.
337
00:15:50,836 --> 00:15:52,573
Plausible deniability.
338
00:15:55,106 --> 00:15:57,548
Ms. Waldorf, the only reason
I agreed to meet with you
339
00:15:57,549 --> 00:15:59,913
is because your mother and I
have crossed paths on occasion,
340
00:15:59,914 --> 00:16:02,019
and I felt it a professional courtesy.
341
00:16:02,301 --> 00:16:07,008
Oh. Did you know that my
mother remarried? Amazing man.
342
00:16:07,009 --> 00:16:08,132
Your point?
343
00:16:09,094 --> 00:16:11,491
I was sorry to hear about
your unfortunate divorce
344
00:16:11,492 --> 00:16:12,826
a few years ago.
345
00:16:12,827 --> 00:16:13,880
I beg your pardon?
346
00:16:13,881 --> 00:16:14,849
Oh, boy.
347
00:16:14,930 --> 00:16:15,814
You and I both know
348
00:16:15,815 --> 00:16:17,665
that power is the
greatest aphrodisiac...
349
00:16:17,666 --> 00:16:20,081
except, of course, when women have it.
350
00:16:20,548 --> 00:16:22,088
Your ex-husband, for example.
351
00:16:22,089 --> 00:16:24,760
I mean, the nanny? How cliche...
352
00:16:24,761 --> 00:16:25,648
I'm listening.
353
00:16:25,649 --> 00:16:27,465
My stepfather has surrounded
himself with people
354
00:16:27,466 --> 00:16:30,375
who are not intimidated
by a woman's success.
355
00:16:30,836 --> 00:16:34,085
One of the partners at his firm
is exceptionally attractive.
356
00:16:34,086 --> 00:16:35,870
And I don't mean to sound forward,
357
00:16:35,871 --> 00:16:38,104
but I'd love to introduce you
358
00:16:38,105 --> 00:16:40,138
at the Hamilton house party tonight.
359
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:44,085
Well, I was going to be
at the party anyway, so...
360
00:16:44,086 --> 00:16:45,580
Well, then I'll make the call.
361
00:16:46,016 --> 00:16:46,898
That is, of course,
362
00:16:46,899 --> 00:16:49,201
if the assistant position
is still available.
363
00:16:50,188 --> 00:16:53,042
Let's just say that
nothing is set in stone.
364
00:16:53,066 --> 00:16:55,567
Hmm. I'm sorry. Did you say scone?
365
00:17:00,860 --> 00:17:02,083
No! No, no, no, no!
366
00:17:02,084 --> 00:17:04,005
I don't care how late
she is for her audition.
367
00:17:04,006 --> 00:17:06,336
Flight attendant. So quick to judge.
368
00:17:06,511 --> 00:17:07,320
How's school going?
369
00:17:07,321 --> 00:17:08,785
Terrible, which is why I can't be late.
370
00:17:08,786 --> 00:17:10,767
You know, if it helps, I could
get you a copy of my schedule
371
00:17:10,768 --> 00:17:11,887
so we can stop doing this. Come on.
372
00:17:11,888 --> 00:17:13,229
Why would we want to do that?
373
00:17:14,197 --> 00:17:16,226
You put a different girl
into a cab every day.
374
00:17:16,227 --> 00:17:17,538
If you think I would
ever be one of them,
375
00:17:17,539 --> 00:17:18,865
you are out of your mind.
376
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,321
I think nothing of the sort.
377
00:17:20,322 --> 00:17:23,799
In fact, I leave at
this time on purpose,
378
00:17:23,834 --> 00:17:25,367
hoping to get to see you.
379
00:17:26,946 --> 00:17:29,207
Good. Then I'm taking
the cab. Scoot over.
380
00:17:34,246 --> 00:17:35,757
Hey. What are you doing here?
381
00:17:35,802 --> 00:17:37,802
Hey. Uh, uh, lily's not around, right?
382
00:17:37,803 --> 00:17:40,619
Uh, she and Eric are visiting
colleges. It's just us. Why?
383
00:17:40,828 --> 00:17:43,563
Okay, well, there... there's
- there's a rumor going around
384
00:17:43,654 --> 00:17:45,735
that Serena has, um...
385
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:47,877
She has... she has something.
386
00:17:48,239 --> 00:17:49,309
Has something?
387
00:17:49,310 --> 00:17:51,410
Yeah. Please get there faster.
388
00:17:52,350 --> 00:17:55,589
Oh. Y-you mean... oh. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
389
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:57,150
Yeah. Yeah. It's not true.
390
00:17:57,621 --> 00:17:58,580
But there was a picture
391
00:17:58,581 --> 00:18:00,568
of me with Nate yesterday
at the health center.
392
00:18:00,569 --> 00:18:02,609
So now I'm pretty sure
Vanessa thinks that
393
00:18:02,610 --> 00:18:05,780
something more than a kiss
happened between me and Serena.
394
00:18:06,356 --> 00:18:07,140
Well, did it?
395
00:18:07,141 --> 00:18:08,940
No, no, and I've told
her that a hundred times.
396
00:18:08,941 --> 00:18:11,120
But she slept in the other room
last night, and when I woke up,
397
00:18:11,121 --> 00:18:13,893
she wasn't there. What? I-I mean,
398
00:18:13,894 --> 00:18:15,559
I thought you'd be glad
that I was sharing with you.
399
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,675
I am. I am. But you're not
gonna like what I have to say.
400
00:18:18,676 --> 00:18:20,550
Serena is a formidable woman,
401
00:18:20,551 --> 00:18:22,275
and what you guys shared was a big love.
402
00:18:22,327 --> 00:18:24,797
You can't blame Vanessa
for being insecure.
403
00:18:25,455 --> 00:18:26,999
So if you wanna be with
her, you need to show her
404
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,794
that she doesn't have
anything to be worried about.
405
00:18:28,795 --> 00:18:32,154
I've told her that, but I'm not
gonna stop talking to Serena,
406
00:18:32,155 --> 00:18:33,463
cut her out of my life.
407
00:18:33,702 --> 00:18:36,044
All I'm saying is, at
least for right now,
408
00:18:36,428 --> 00:18:39,620
Vanessa needs to know that she's
the only one you care about.
409
00:18:45,178 --> 00:18:46,239
I need to talk to you.
410
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,331
Oh, I'm in a hurry.
Now's not a good time.
411
00:18:48,773 --> 00:18:49,387
You need to tell me
412
00:18:49,388 --> 00:18:51,174
what happened between
you and Dan that night.
413
00:18:51,214 --> 00:18:53,326
Isn't that a conversation
you should be having with him?
414
00:18:53,327 --> 00:18:55,630
I did, but I can't trust
him when it comes to you.
415
00:18:56,433 --> 00:18:57,590
What's that supposed to mean?
416
00:18:57,591 --> 00:18:58,119
Let's just say
417
00:18:58,120 --> 00:18:59,863
it wouldn't be the first time
a guy had lied to his girlfriend
418
00:18:59,864 --> 00:19:01,464
to cover up a night spent with you.
419
00:19:03,237 --> 00:19:04,827
You know, Vanessa, you
always wanna believe
420
00:19:04,828 --> 00:19:07,459
the worst in people. Why change now?
421
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:08,577
Exactly.
422
00:19:23,582 --> 00:19:25,700
Glad to see you took me up on my offer.
423
00:19:26,613 --> 00:19:28,861
I hope you like my signature martinis.
424
00:19:32,476 --> 00:19:35,480
I'm tired of making dossiers
and carrying cherry pies.
425
00:19:35,737 --> 00:19:36,671
This would be good practice
426
00:19:36,672 --> 00:19:38,779
if I ever decide to
take Blair down myself.
427
00:19:38,780 --> 00:19:40,289
Well, don't get ahead of yourself,
428
00:19:40,290 --> 00:19:43,855
but I appreciate the enthusiasm.
What did you find out?
429
00:20:00,929 --> 00:20:04,365
Hi. I just got your text. What's up?
430
00:20:04,366 --> 00:20:06,613
Yeah, I just found out that test results
431
00:20:06,614 --> 00:20:08,622
could take three or
four days to get back.
432
00:20:08,952 --> 00:20:09,681
Wow.
433
00:20:09,846 --> 00:20:10,355
Yeah.
434
00:20:12,743 --> 00:20:14,184
Three or four days.
435
00:20:15,429 --> 00:20:17,543
I can't believe our night's
being derailed by this.
436
00:20:25,464 --> 00:20:27,051
Unless...
437
00:20:28,261 --> 00:20:30,485
There's another way that
we can know for sure.
438
00:20:30,989 --> 00:20:33,296
I mean, Serena must've
talked or e-mailed someone
439
00:20:33,297 --> 00:20:35,514
about whether the
rumors were true or not.
440
00:20:36,959 --> 00:20:38,290
I guess I could talk to Blair.
441
00:20:39,209 --> 00:20:41,819
Yeah. She'd probably take the fifth.
442
00:20:45,260 --> 00:20:46,665
How else are we gonna find out?
443
00:20:50,613 --> 00:20:51,485
No.
444
00:20:51,955 --> 00:20:52,706
Forget it.
445
00:20:53,877 --> 00:20:56,323
I just think the anticipation
is making me crazy.
446
00:20:59,946 --> 00:21:01,113
Well, I'm gonna go home.
447
00:21:02,150 --> 00:21:04,500
We should both get ready.
And I am gonna start...
448
00:21:04,501 --> 00:21:05,998
By taking a cold shower.
449
00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:13,254
Bye.
450
00:21:15,698 --> 00:21:17,053
I think we're ready.
451
00:21:17,054 --> 00:21:17,980
You think?
452
00:21:18,248 --> 00:21:19,578
Oh, I can't just come out
453
00:21:19,579 --> 00:21:21,586
and ask him to steal Serena's phone.
454
00:21:22,517 --> 00:21:25,729
But trust me, he's right
where we need him to be.
455
00:21:26,650 --> 00:21:29,534
Good. If anything goes
wrong, it'll be on him.
456
00:21:29,535 --> 00:21:31,826
Right. Just like we planned.
457
00:21:34,169 --> 00:21:35,045
I have to go.
458
00:21:36,990 --> 00:21:39,256
Vanessa. What are you doing up here?
459
00:21:40,864 --> 00:21:42,727
I think Dan and Serena
slept together last spring
460
00:21:42,728 --> 00:21:44,061
when we were still going out.
461
00:21:44,062 --> 00:21:47,100
Oh, my God. Are you sure?
462
00:21:47,101 --> 00:21:48,537
No. That's the problem.
They both deny it.
463
00:21:48,538 --> 00:21:49,877
I'm sorry to unload on you like this.
464
00:21:49,878 --> 00:21:52,045
I'm just... I feel
like I'm losing my mind.
465
00:21:52,046 --> 00:21:53,826
Well, then you have
to find out for sure.
466
00:21:53,827 --> 00:21:54,607
How?
467
00:21:56,450 --> 00:21:58,038
I think I might have an idea.
468
00:21:58,914 --> 00:22:01,348
That is, of course, if you're up for it.
469
00:22:01,349 --> 00:22:03,613
Yeah. Right now I'm up
for anything, believe me.
470
00:22:04,616 --> 00:22:07,252
Then call Dan. Tell
him that you wanna talk
471
00:22:07,253 --> 00:22:10,065
and we'll meet him and Nate
at Hamilton house tonight.
472
00:22:10,652 --> 00:22:11,572
Are you sure?
473
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:13,509
Trust me.
474
00:22:14,236 --> 00:22:16,714
Things have a way of working
out when you least expect it.
475
00:22:41,632 --> 00:22:42,996
Where have you been?
476
00:22:43,216 --> 00:22:45,274
I know I'm late. Again.
477
00:22:45,592 --> 00:22:48,157
So I take it the meeting with
your Professor did not go well.
478
00:22:49,270 --> 00:22:50,961
It didn't go at all. I didn't make it.
479
00:22:50,962 --> 00:22:53,498
You know there's a clock
on your cell phone, right?
480
00:22:53,499 --> 00:22:56,471
Yes. Yes, but it wasn't my
fault, but I e-mailed him
481
00:22:56,472 --> 00:22:58,362
and begged for five
minutes of his time tonight.
482
00:22:58,934 --> 00:23:01,569
Then we settle all
Columbia business tonight.
483
00:23:01,820 --> 00:23:03,515
And it just so happens
that Ms. Chamberlin...
484
00:23:03,516 --> 00:23:05,544
b., can I just wish you good luck
485
00:23:05,545 --> 00:23:07,916
and take plausible
deniability on this one?
486
00:23:07,917 --> 00:23:10,452
Luck not needed, but right back at ya.
487
00:23:27,226 --> 00:23:28,247
You're a natural.
488
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:31,157
I said Serena forgot something.
489
00:23:31,158 --> 00:23:33,478
One smile at the coat check
guy and he handed it right over.
490
00:23:34,831 --> 00:23:35,988
Now check her e-mail.
491
00:23:35,989 --> 00:23:37,623
If Serena and Dan slept together,
492
00:23:37,624 --> 00:23:39,698
there's bound to be a
message about the rumor.
493
00:23:43,153 --> 00:23:44,858
This feels very wrong.
494
00:23:45,736 --> 00:23:47,542
It's the only way you'll know for sure.
495
00:23:51,242 --> 00:23:53,390
There's an e-mail from
Dan a few hours ago.
496
00:23:53,611 --> 00:23:54,259
What?
497
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,381
"If Vanessa thinks
498
00:23:56,382 --> 00:23:58,281
"something more than a
kiss happened between us
499
00:23:58,282 --> 00:24:01,244
"even though it didn't,
I need to show her
500
00:24:01,245 --> 00:24:03,755
I'm willing to do whatever
it takes to make things work."
501
00:24:05,226 --> 00:24:06,741
Well, now you have your answer.
502
00:24:06,851 --> 00:24:07,739
We have to put this back right now.
503
00:24:07,740 --> 00:24:11,700
Wait, wait, wait, wait. My
boyfriend dated her, too.
504
00:24:11,701 --> 00:24:14,135
You're not the only one
with Serena insecurity.
505
00:24:14,463 --> 00:24:15,689
Okay, well, then hurry up.
506
00:24:17,082 --> 00:24:18,488
Shoot. I think someone's coming.
507
00:24:36,398 --> 00:24:37,752
Coast is clear. Well?
508
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,432
Nothing, thank God. Come
on. Let's get outta here.
509
00:24:40,433 --> 00:24:42,510
Okay, wait. I told Dan
that I needed to talk.
510
00:24:42,511 --> 00:24:43,793
What... what do I say now?
511
00:24:44,539 --> 00:24:47,652
He's a guy. Do you think
he really wants to talk?
512
00:24:48,423 --> 00:24:50,282
Just take him home
513
00:24:50,283 --> 00:24:52,319
and show him you're ready to move on.
514
00:24:53,851 --> 00:24:55,544
Twice if necessary.
515
00:24:56,935 --> 00:24:57,819
Thank you.
516
00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:59,759
Nate's a lucky guy.
517
00:24:59,853 --> 00:25:01,244
You guys make a really good couple.
518
00:25:01,614 --> 00:25:04,439
Yeah, we do, don't we?
519
00:25:25,954 --> 00:25:28,449
Pardon the interruption, but
you have an important call.
520
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,546
Blair Waldorf.
521
00:25:32,405 --> 00:25:34,602
I'm Ms. Chamberlin's new assistant.
522
00:25:36,818 --> 00:25:38,521
Confident, I see.
523
00:25:38,549 --> 00:25:40,278
When destiny calls? Always.
524
00:25:41,246 --> 00:25:43,338
Especially when it
arrives right on time.
525
00:25:43,792 --> 00:25:46,178
Nothing says "soul
mate" like punctuality.
526
00:25:50,069 --> 00:25:50,982
Hey, Vanessa.
527
00:25:52,997 --> 00:25:53,861
Dan.
528
00:25:54,037 --> 00:25:56,240
Nate, um, Juliet's looking for you.
529
00:25:57,050 --> 00:25:58,002
Thank you.
530
00:25:59,895 --> 00:26:00,621
Hey.
531
00:26:01,836 --> 00:26:02,919
Hey. What's going on?
532
00:26:03,123 --> 00:26:03,801
What do you mean?
533
00:26:04,487 --> 00:26:06,255
I just mean, like, why are you
- why are you smiling so much?
534
00:26:06,256 --> 00:26:08,593
I'm just... I'm
- I'm glad to see you.
535
00:26:08,762 --> 00:26:10,849
I thought... I thought
you were mad at me.
536
00:26:10,850 --> 00:26:12,015
I'm... I'm confused here.
537
00:26:16,387 --> 00:26:19,189
Okay, wait a second. Now...
now... now I'm really confused.
538
00:26:19,256 --> 00:26:21,224
You... you said we needed to talk.
539
00:26:22,014 --> 00:26:23,729
We already did. I just...
I wasn't listening.
540
00:26:23,730 --> 00:26:26,004
What do you say we get out of here?
541
00:26:26,005 --> 00:26:28,932
And I'll show you how
much we don't need to talk.
542
00:26:30,969 --> 00:26:32,364
I don't know. I mean...
543
00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:34,678
I'm pretty stubborn.
It might take all night.
544
00:26:34,679 --> 00:26:36,941
Well, then I guess
you'll need your strength.
545
00:26:37,742 --> 00:26:41,008
Let's load up on free
appetizers before we leave.
546
00:26:41,775 --> 00:26:43,553
Hamilton house is
where dreams come true.
547
00:26:43,554 --> 00:26:45,048
On that we agree.
548
00:26:49,390 --> 00:26:51,016
There. Shall we?
549
00:26:51,794 --> 00:26:52,888
Beautiful scarf.
550
00:26:52,889 --> 00:26:53,892
Oh, well, as we work together,
551
00:26:53,893 --> 00:26:56,665
you'll come to find that
your tastes are my tastes.
552
00:26:57,668 --> 00:26:58,754
Guess who.
553
00:27:00,061 --> 00:27:02,261
Sam. Hi.
554
00:27:03,546 --> 00:27:06,520
I must say, Blair did
not do you justice.
555
00:27:06,521 --> 00:27:08,021
I know the feeling.
556
00:27:08,566 --> 00:27:11,029
You thought this was my special someone?
557
00:27:12,267 --> 00:27:12,889
No.
558
00:27:14,276 --> 00:27:15,761
I mean, unless...
559
00:27:15,762 --> 00:27:18,070
What? Since I'm a powerful
career-driven woman
560
00:27:18,071 --> 00:27:20,631
who intimidates men,
I must be a lesbian?
561
00:27:20,632 --> 00:27:22,775
No. This was not the date I set up.
562
00:27:22,776 --> 00:27:25,271
He was an intellectual property lawyer
563
00:27:25,339 --> 00:27:27,769
who does pro Bono work
helping kids sue Hollywood
564
00:27:27,770 --> 00:27:29,182
for stealing their Twitter ideas.
565
00:27:30,339 --> 00:27:32,660
Then I suggest you see
if he needs an assistant.
566
00:27:32,661 --> 00:27:35,149
My class is full... forever.
567
00:27:36,754 --> 00:27:38,129
Great scarf, by the way.
568
00:27:56,287 --> 00:27:58,560
Dean Reuther, Serena Van Der Woodsen.
569
00:27:58,770 --> 00:28:00,709
Professor Lawford,
570
00:28:00,938 --> 00:28:02,908
I'm so sorry I didn't make
our meeting this morning.
571
00:28:02,909 --> 00:28:04,836
But as I mentioned in my e-mail,
572
00:28:04,837 --> 00:28:07,366
I'm hoping to impress upon
you... upon both of you...
573
00:28:07,367 --> 00:28:09,167
that I'm willing to do whatever it takes
574
00:28:09,168 --> 00:28:10,034
to succeed at this school.
575
00:28:10,035 --> 00:28:12,502
Yes, the e-mail that you
sent to Professor Lawford
576
00:28:12,503 --> 00:28:13,912
makes that pretty clear.
577
00:28:13,913 --> 00:28:14,834
I'm sorry?
578
00:28:14,835 --> 00:28:17,712
Perhaps we should have this
conversation in private.
579
00:28:18,384 --> 00:28:20,825
And what conversation would that be?
580
00:28:21,459 --> 00:28:25,619
The one regarding your e-mail
that offers sex for grades.
581
00:28:25,620 --> 00:28:26,820
What?
582
00:28:27,915 --> 00:28:30,065
I-I-I didn't do that.
I would never do that.
583
00:28:30,066 --> 00:28:32,859
This is your e-mail address, is it not?
584
00:28:33,405 --> 00:28:35,517
Yes, but I-I didn't send this.
585
00:28:36,263 --> 00:28:38,964
Ms. Van Der Woodsen,
obviously we pay no mind
586
00:28:38,965 --> 00:28:41,935
to childish rumors that
circulate all college campuses,
587
00:28:41,936 --> 00:28:45,186
but this e-mail is extremely serious.
588
00:28:45,187 --> 00:28:48,746
The consequence of sending
it, I'm afraid, is expulsion.
589
00:28:49,873 --> 00:28:51,060
Expulsion?
590
00:28:52,336 --> 00:28:53,237
Spotted...
591
00:28:53,238 --> 00:28:57,321
Serena Van Der Woodsen looking
like she's hot for teacher.
592
00:28:57,322 --> 00:28:59,546
That's the thing about
a good gaslight...
593
00:28:59,547 --> 00:29:03,225
with enough smoke, who cares
if there's really a fire?
594
00:29:10,879 --> 00:29:11,908
Did you send that e-mail,
595
00:29:11,909 --> 00:29:12,952
the one that came from Serena's phone
596
00:29:12,953 --> 00:29:14,524
offering sex to her Professor?
597
00:29:14,525 --> 00:29:16,975
What? Why would I do that?
598
00:29:17,812 --> 00:29:19,128
If you ask me, it sounds like an idea
599
00:29:19,129 --> 00:29:20,660
that Serena would get all on her own.
600
00:29:20,661 --> 00:29:22,236
I don't think she would do that.
601
00:29:22,456 --> 00:29:24,061
I'm gonna tell her we had her phone.
602
00:29:24,627 --> 00:29:26,400
Wait. Don't.
603
00:29:27,547 --> 00:29:29,365
Maybe if we had access to it,
604
00:29:29,366 --> 00:29:32,147
then somebody else did as well.
605
00:29:33,301 --> 00:29:35,436
I didn't send that e-mail.
606
00:29:35,437 --> 00:29:37,185
But if you tell her
that we took her phone,
607
00:29:37,186 --> 00:29:38,934
she is gonna blame us,
and I could get expelled.
608
00:29:38,935 --> 00:29:40,029
And so could she.
609
00:29:41,379 --> 00:29:44,360
If you didn't send it, then
you have nothing to worry about.
610
00:29:50,416 --> 00:29:51,685
Where is Martha's date?!
611
00:29:51,686 --> 00:29:53,441
Penthouse suite at the empire
612
00:29:53,618 --> 00:29:54,588
with a woman I assure you
613
00:29:54,589 --> 00:29:56,880
he won't want to leave until
morning, maybe afternoon.
614
00:29:56,881 --> 00:29:58,185
Depends on his cardio.
615
00:29:58,944 --> 00:30:02,734
I was going to play nice. You
think I don't have a plan "b"?
616
00:30:02,735 --> 00:30:03,853
Plan "b"?
617
00:30:03,854 --> 00:30:06,317
What could be more cunning
and devious than date night?
618
00:30:07,695 --> 00:30:10,349
I had Dorota get chummy
with Martha's maid,
619
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:12,849
who came over from one of her
sweatshops in the Philippines.
620
00:30:12,850 --> 00:30:14,335
If I have to, I'll blackmail
her for the position.
621
00:30:14,336 --> 00:30:15,360
An illegal maid scandal?
622
00:30:15,361 --> 00:30:16,653
Nobody's cared about those in years.
623
00:30:16,654 --> 00:30:19,426
And a lesbian switcheroo
doesn't make you Blackwater.
624
00:30:19,427 --> 00:30:21,975
The switcheroo was for fun.
The I.R.S. Agent standing by
625
00:30:21,976 --> 00:30:23,614
to crawl up Martha's audit is not.
626
00:30:23,615 --> 00:30:24,978
A tax fraud setup?
627
00:30:25,156 --> 00:30:27,470
They give away girl
scout badges for that.
628
00:30:27,471 --> 00:30:29,818
I have her prenup. It has details.
629
00:30:29,819 --> 00:30:32,734
I have the nanny. She has pictures.
630
00:30:32,735 --> 00:30:34,198
Martha's ex is in them. So is Martha.
631
00:30:34,199 --> 00:30:35,765
It turns out it was a threesome
632
00:30:35,766 --> 00:30:37,631
until the nanny turned
it into a twosome.
633
00:30:37,699 --> 00:30:41,347
Oh, my God! You students are psychotic.
634
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:43,849
I have better things to do with my time.
635
00:30:44,229 --> 00:30:45,691
Tell the dean I quit.
636
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:47,449
Shame.
637
00:30:47,684 --> 00:30:49,437
Sounded like a great class.
638
00:30:49,772 --> 00:30:51,230
If you'll excuse me,
I've heard good things
639
00:30:51,231 --> 00:30:52,733
about the
make-your-own-pizza bar.
640
00:30:56,155 --> 00:30:56,984
My phone isn't in here.
641
00:30:56,985 --> 00:30:59,638
Whoever stole it must've been
the person that sent the e-mail.
642
00:30:59,639 --> 00:31:02,236
A missing cell phone is hardly proof.
643
00:31:02,838 --> 00:31:04,025
I'll see you in my office on Monday,
644
00:31:04,026 --> 00:31:05,764
and we'll talk about what's next.
645
00:31:07,836 --> 00:31:08,750
Good night, Jim.
646
00:31:11,641 --> 00:31:13,404
Please don't do this.
You don't go to Columbia.
647
00:31:13,405 --> 00:31:14,838
They can't do anything to you.
648
00:31:15,692 --> 00:31:17,383
I'm sorry, but it's
the right thing to do.
649
00:31:17,384 --> 00:31:17,974
Wait.
650
00:31:19,867 --> 00:31:20,537
Serena...
651
00:31:22,814 --> 00:31:23,704
Call your phone.
652
00:31:25,973 --> 00:31:28,589
Maybe the person who stole
it might still be here.
653
00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:30,884
Hey. Hey, what's going on?
654
00:31:47,875 --> 00:31:50,643
Vanessa stole my phone and
sent an e-mail to my Professor.
655
00:31:50,644 --> 00:31:52,067
That's... that's crazy.
656
00:31:52,286 --> 00:31:53,810
Really? Do you wanna answer that?
657
00:31:54,286 --> 00:31:55,748
I'll speak with you later.
658
00:31:58,042 --> 00:31:59,350
I can explain.
659
00:31:59,351 --> 00:32:00,819
You took Serena's phone?
660
00:32:00,820 --> 00:32:02,507
She thinks we slept together.
661
00:32:04,967 --> 00:32:07,279
Wait, you were the one behind
the "Gossip Girl" rumor.
662
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,483
What? No!
663
00:32:09,494 --> 00:32:12,345
I-I know how this looks, but
I did not send out that e-mail.
664
00:32:12,966 --> 00:32:14,071
Juliet did. She's the one
665
00:32:14,072 --> 00:32:15,501
who wanted to steal your
phone in the first place.
666
00:32:15,502 --> 00:32:16,708
W... are you kidding me?!
667
00:32:16,709 --> 00:32:19,156
There is no way that I'm
getting dragged into this.
668
00:32:19,695 --> 00:32:22,296
I wasn't gonna say anything,
but Vanessa came to me today.
669
00:32:22,297 --> 00:32:25,163
She asked me to help her get
revenge, and I told her no.
670
00:32:25,164 --> 00:32:26,585
That is a lie!
671
00:32:26,586 --> 00:32:29,457
No, it's not. Juliet
told me before the party.
672
00:32:29,458 --> 00:32:31,909
She was hoping to talk to
Vanessa and calm her down.
673
00:32:31,910 --> 00:32:33,818
But... I'm sorry, man.
674
00:32:34,162 --> 00:32:36,497
Wait, is that why you
were so happy earlier
675
00:32:36,498 --> 00:32:37,899
and you wanted to get outta here?
676
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:39,404
Yeah, with my phone,
677
00:32:39,405 --> 00:32:40,689
so that she could get
rid of the evidence
678
00:32:40,690 --> 00:32:42,529
and make sure I was expelled.
679
00:32:42,743 --> 00:32:44,194
I did not do this.
680
00:32:45,768 --> 00:32:46,734
After everything we've been through,
681
00:32:46,735 --> 00:32:49,206
I'm asking you to please believe me.
682
00:32:50,677 --> 00:32:52,705
I don't know what to believe right now.
683
00:32:59,116 --> 00:33:00,113
Vanessa...
684
00:33:00,114 --> 00:33:00,948
don't.
685
00:33:01,696 --> 00:33:04,008
I'm sorry, okay? I-I
wanted to be friends,
686
00:33:04,009 --> 00:33:05,756
but what did you expect me to do?
687
00:33:06,134 --> 00:33:07,618
I had to protect myself.
688
00:33:09,705 --> 00:33:12,002
You're right. You do.
689
00:33:15,618 --> 00:33:16,719
Poor v.
690
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,301
Didn't she know that in love and war,
691
00:33:19,302 --> 00:33:23,415
a friend in need is
willing to do most any deed?
692
00:33:26,837 --> 00:33:29,803
I believe you didn't send
that e-mail, but I can't ignore
693
00:33:29,804 --> 00:33:32,933
the level of drama that has
followed you to my campus
694
00:33:32,934 --> 00:33:35,201
and grown even louder since you arrived.
695
00:33:35,202 --> 00:33:36,169
Meaning?
696
00:33:36,771 --> 00:33:40,300
Women of my generation had
to fight for every opportunity
697
00:33:40,301 --> 00:33:42,085
and to be taken seriously,
698
00:33:42,086 --> 00:33:43,929
and your attitude, Ms. Van Der Woodsen,
699
00:33:43,930 --> 00:33:45,042
makes a mockery of that.
700
00:33:45,043 --> 00:33:48,293
If I were you, I would
rethink my priorities.
701
00:33:49,087 --> 00:33:50,014
Good night.
702
00:33:50,450 --> 00:33:51,732
Ms. Waldorf,
703
00:33:52,142 --> 00:33:54,485
I have my eye on you as well.
704
00:34:00,146 --> 00:34:02,154
Plausible deniability was a good call.
705
00:34:02,515 --> 00:34:03,597
And speaking of denials,
706
00:34:03,598 --> 00:34:05,642
you've been cleared in the
court of public opinion.
707
00:34:06,025 --> 00:34:07,837
Gossip Girl sent out
an official retraction
708
00:34:07,838 --> 00:34:10,196
and personal apology
to you about the rumor.
709
00:34:10,197 --> 00:34:13,047
Not to mention, she said
whatever person sent it
710
00:34:13,048 --> 00:34:14,519
is now on her hit list.
711
00:34:15,742 --> 00:34:17,150
Yeah, well, it was Vanessa.
712
00:34:17,151 --> 00:34:18,018
Vanessa?
713
00:34:19,103 --> 00:34:20,133
Yeah, well, Gossip Girl's scorn
714
00:34:20,134 --> 00:34:22,264
will only increase her social standing.
715
00:34:24,034 --> 00:34:25,390
How did you figure it out?
716
00:34:26,144 --> 00:34:29,743
Uh, ironically, it was Juliet
who I have to thank for that.
717
00:34:41,031 --> 00:34:42,309
If you'll excuse me.
718
00:34:45,490 --> 00:34:47,184
I was just telling Blair
719
00:34:47,185 --> 00:34:49,382
I have you to thank
for clearing my name.
720
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,551
I know we got off on
the wrong foot, but...
721
00:34:53,815 --> 00:34:57,406
It's just because I was jealous
of how much you meant to Nate,
722
00:34:57,407 --> 00:34:58,754
and I'm sorry.
723
00:34:59,619 --> 00:35:00,769
Well...
724
00:35:01,004 --> 00:35:02,853
Boys will do it almost every time.
725
00:35:03,513 --> 00:35:05,499
Now if they weren't so darn cute...
726
00:35:07,486 --> 00:35:08,849
Are you sure you're gonna be okay?
727
00:35:09,125 --> 00:35:09,659
Yeah.
728
00:35:09,862 --> 00:35:12,636
Do you maybe wanna grab a drink with us?
729
00:35:13,185 --> 00:35:13,704
Uh, no.
730
00:35:13,705 --> 00:35:16,149
I actually just wanna get outta here.
731
00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:17,376
I'll see you in class.
732
00:35:17,377 --> 00:35:20,328
Yeah. Don't be late.
733
00:35:27,788 --> 00:35:29,482
What are you still doing here?
734
00:35:31,722 --> 00:35:33,408
I lost the assistant position.
735
00:35:33,409 --> 00:35:36,211
The entire faculty thinks
I'm just as crazy as you.
736
00:35:36,337 --> 00:35:37,098
You've made your point.
737
00:35:37,099 --> 00:35:39,298
Can't you take your little
celebration elsewhere?
738
00:35:39,938 --> 00:35:40,785
If you think I'd take tonight
739
00:35:40,786 --> 00:35:44,026
as some sort of balancing
of the scales, I don't.
740
00:35:44,275 --> 00:35:46,199
I'm not trying to make a point, Blair.
741
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,744
This is just a warm-up.
742
00:35:48,552 --> 00:35:50,804
Whatever you want, wherever you want it,
743
00:35:50,805 --> 00:35:53,167
I am going to be there
to take it away from you.
744
00:35:53,968 --> 00:35:55,836
I won't stop until you have nothing.
745
00:35:58,165 --> 00:35:59,638
You wouldn't go that far.
746
00:36:03,425 --> 00:36:04,858
Who knows my limits
747
00:36:05,145 --> 00:36:06,765
since you took away my future?
748
00:36:06,766 --> 00:36:09,315
That wasn't your future.
749
00:36:09,906 --> 00:36:11,451
That was Henry prince's.
750
00:36:11,452 --> 00:36:13,416
Destroying me won't make you happy.
751
00:36:13,901 --> 00:36:15,151
Happier.
752
00:36:15,727 --> 00:36:17,290
The only thing
753
00:36:17,575 --> 00:36:19,048
that will make you happy,
754
00:36:19,409 --> 00:36:22,085
you lost the moment you
slept with Jenny Humphrey.
755
00:36:23,391 --> 00:36:25,543
And that was the best thing
that ever happened to me,
756
00:36:25,544 --> 00:36:26,496
because...
757
00:36:28,223 --> 00:36:30,614
I got over you forever.
758
00:36:30,827 --> 00:36:31,567
If that's the truth,
759
00:36:31,568 --> 00:36:33,591
then why haven't you
told anyone about Jenny?
760
00:36:34,223 --> 00:36:36,943
Not your family, not your minions,
761
00:36:37,188 --> 00:36:38,628
not Gossip Girl.
762
00:36:40,241 --> 00:36:42,941
I know you're not keeping
that secret to protect me.
763
00:36:43,460 --> 00:36:44,521
You wouldn't.
764
00:36:45,482 --> 00:36:49,166
That revelation would
result in mutual destruction.
765
00:36:49,167 --> 00:36:51,167
You may be homicidal,
but you're not suicidal.
766
00:36:52,765 --> 00:36:56,752
A man with nothing to live
for is capable of anything.
767
00:37:09,723 --> 00:37:11,909
I'm gonna stay with my
parents for a little while.
768
00:37:14,629 --> 00:37:16,097
That's... that's probably a good idea.
769
00:37:17,191 --> 00:37:18,823
I think I could use
some time alone, too.
770
00:37:21,195 --> 00:37:22,281
Dan, it's really important to me
771
00:37:22,282 --> 00:37:24,706
that you know I didn't start any rumors
772
00:37:25,172 --> 00:37:26,785
or send out that e-mail.
773
00:37:27,597 --> 00:37:29,017
I-I believe you, I think.
774
00:37:29,018 --> 00:37:32,313
But it doesn't change the fact
that you didn't believe me.
775
00:37:42,893 --> 00:37:44,353
I know that now.
776
00:37:46,436 --> 00:37:49,846
It's just too bad that it took
losing you to figure it out.
777
00:38:18,551 --> 00:38:19,705
The red snapper.
778
00:38:19,706 --> 00:38:20,926
Excellent choice.
779
00:38:22,659 --> 00:38:23,618
What do you think?
780
00:38:23,619 --> 00:38:26,446
I think it's a bloody Mary
with an inferiority complex.
781
00:38:27,241 --> 00:38:28,231
Fair enough.
782
00:38:30,860 --> 00:38:31,705
So...
783
00:38:32,816 --> 00:38:34,162
Drinking alone, are we?
784
00:38:36,677 --> 00:38:38,897
You've made it pretty clear
you're out of my league.
785
00:38:39,076 --> 00:38:41,091
What do you have to lose by answering?
786
00:38:41,283 --> 00:38:44,021
I'd prefer not to encourage
this kind of behavior.
787
00:38:47,374 --> 00:38:48,402
Tell you what.
788
00:38:49,374 --> 00:38:50,517
One drink, one question.
789
00:38:50,518 --> 00:38:52,032
Tell me why you're drinking alone,
790
00:38:52,033 --> 00:38:53,612
and I'll tell you anything you want.
791
00:38:58,429 --> 00:39:01,332
I thought I could start over,
792
00:39:01,333 --> 00:39:02,753
but it turns out
793
00:39:03,124 --> 00:39:06,050
college is just high school
with more expensive books.
794
00:39:07,456 --> 00:39:09,974
There's no... starting over.
795
00:39:10,913 --> 00:39:12,251
No matter where I go,
796
00:39:12,252 --> 00:39:13,348
whatever I do,
797
00:39:14,068 --> 00:39:16,079
my past seems to follow me.
798
00:39:19,541 --> 00:39:20,521
So...
799
00:39:20,522 --> 00:39:21,647
What about you?
800
00:39:22,618 --> 00:39:24,772
Why are you with a
different girl every night?
801
00:39:26,260 --> 00:39:29,443
Because I stopped
apologizing for my past
802
00:39:29,444 --> 00:39:30,612
a long time ago.
803
00:39:32,202 --> 00:39:33,604
Does that really work?
804
00:39:33,892 --> 00:39:35,745
Does that actually make you happy?
805
00:39:37,015 --> 00:39:37,895
It did.
806
00:39:38,569 --> 00:39:40,646
* Poppin' bottles in the ice *
807
00:39:41,301 --> 00:39:44,733
* Like a blizzard * The
law of affinity refers
808
00:39:44,734 --> 00:39:47,648
to unlikely compositions forming a bond
809
00:39:47,649 --> 00:39:49,886
through a purely chemical reaction.
810
00:39:50,879 --> 00:39:51,780
?Now I'm feeling so... ?
1022 00:56: 00:56:42,698
811
00:39:51,781 --> 00:39:53,532
why didn't you stick to the plan?
812
00:39:53,823 --> 00:39:54,655
Like I said the first time,
813
00:39:54,656 --> 00:39:56,899
I thought Vanessa was the better option.
814
00:39:57,642 --> 00:39:58,731
Well, she wasn't.
815
00:39:58,732 --> 00:40:00,419
Serena didn't get expelled.
816
00:40:00,848 --> 00:40:02,217
But now I'm in with Serena,
817
00:40:02,218 --> 00:40:03,849
and I can become her confidant
818
00:40:03,850 --> 00:40:06,220
and find something even
bigger to take her down with.
819
00:40:06,368 --> 00:40:09,286
Good, 'cause now you have no choice.
820
00:40:09,870 --> 00:40:12,504
And I'd better not find out that
this was about protecting Nate.
821
00:40:12,505 --> 00:40:14,179
If you're falling for him...
822
00:40:14,602 --> 00:40:16,864
I'm not. I swear.
823
00:40:17,077 --> 00:40:18,366
* G-get them bottles poppin' *
824
00:40:18,367 --> 00:40:20,503
I guess I have to trust you.
825
00:40:20,810 --> 00:40:22,273
* Now get me two more bottles *
826
00:40:22,274 --> 00:40:23,430
Yeah, I guess you do.
827
00:40:23,431 --> 00:40:24,830
**
828
00:40:25,041 --> 00:40:28,345
But even the strongest
bonds have their limits...
829
00:40:28,346 --> 00:40:29,587
* Actin' like they drunk *
830
00:40:29,588 --> 00:40:33,868
When sober girls around me,
they be actin' like they drunk?
831
00:40:33,869 --> 00:40:36,363
* Poppin' bottles in the ice *
832
00:40:36,364 --> 00:40:37,671
and when broken...
833
00:40:37,672 --> 00:40:41,325
* When we drink, we do it
right, Gettin' slizzard *
834
00:40:41,553 --> 00:40:45,546
* Sippin' sizzurp in my ride
in my ride like three 6 *
835
00:40:45,823 --> 00:40:49,180
* Now I'm feeling so fly like a g6 *
836
00:40:49,474 --> 00:40:51,955
That 808 bump make
you put your hands up?
837
00:40:52,070 --> 00:40:53,131
You sure about this?
838
00:40:54,712 --> 00:40:58,429
Mm-hmm. Now that we know
Vanessa was behind the rumors...
839
00:41:00,366 --> 00:41:01,017
Absolutely.
840
00:41:13,821 --> 00:41:15,019
That if left unchecked...
841
00:41:20,446 --> 00:41:23,001
explode like a nuclear bomb.
842
00:41:26,093 --> 00:41:28,312
Veronica, do you still
work with Tim Gunn?
843
00:41:29,021 --> 00:41:30,045
I need to get an interview for someone
844
00:41:30,142 --> 00:41:32,080
who will be applying to Parsons.
845
00:41:34,139 --> 00:41:34,769
Perfect.
846
00:41:35,832 --> 00:41:37,857
Yeah, her name's Jenny Humphrey.
847
00:41:39,890 --> 00:41:40,530
Thanks.
848
00:41:40,531 --> 00:41:42,320
Waiting for the fallout.
