1
00:00:00,002 --> 00:00:03,536
Gossip Girl here...
your one and only source
2
00:00:03,537 --> 00:00:05,805
into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.
3
00:00:05,806 --> 00:00:07,941
I need your passion for
social upheaval to help me
4
00:00:07,942 --> 00:00:09,008
write the book about the Upper East Side.
5
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:10,843
Would you prefer the kink
6
00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:11,945
of watching your father do
it with Fake Charlie again?
7
00:00:11,946 --> 00:00:13,479
No, I did not watch. I got the hell out
8
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,512
before they saw me.
9
00:00:14,513 --> 00:00:17,482
As the new head of Waldorf Designs,
10
00:00:17,483 --> 00:00:19,584
I only have one chance to make my debut.
11
00:00:19,585 --> 00:00:22,020
At fashion show for Buyers next week.
12
00:00:22,021 --> 00:00:23,288
Please tell me that means
13
00:00:23,289 --> 00:00:24,489
you're giving your
serial to "The Spectator."
14
00:00:24,490 --> 00:00:26,491
I know you need this to
succeed as much as I do,
15
00:00:26,492 --> 00:00:28,560
but it's only gonna do that
if you print it word for word.
16
00:00:28,561 --> 00:00:29,561
Done.
17
00:00:29,562 --> 00:00:30,928
What do you want me to say,
18
00:00:30,929 --> 00:00:32,396
"thank you for the humiliating experience
19
00:00:32,397 --> 00:00:34,832
of being walked to school by my
dad and his trophy girlfriend"?
20
00:00:34,833 --> 00:00:37,468
"Gossip Girl" says your dad is
dating Serena Van Der Woodsen.
21
00:00:37,469 --> 00:00:38,569
Is it true?
22
00:00:38,570 --> 00:00:39,803
Not for long.
23
00:00:39,804 --> 00:00:41,138
She know you can do this, Miss Blair.
24
00:00:41,139 --> 00:00:42,406
I hope she's right.
25
00:00:42,407 --> 00:00:46,142
My entire future... here and with Chuck
26
00:00:46,143 --> 00:00:47,510
depends on it.
27
00:00:48,545 --> 00:00:51,081
And who am I?
28
00:00:51,082 --> 00:00:54,384
That's a secret I'll never tell.
29
00:00:54,385 --> 00:00:56,353
You know you love me.
30
00:00:56,354 --> 00:00:57,520
X.O.X.O., Gossip Girl.

(Rebecca & Fiona's "We are girls" playing)
33
00:01:04,274 --> 00:01:07,777
(Gossip Girl) Manhattan has
weathered her share of storms...
34
00:01:07,778 --> 00:01:10,913
heat waves, hurricanes, even an earthquake.
35
00:01:10,914 --> 00:01:13,415
But these days, it looks
like a new force of nature
36
00:01:13,416 --> 00:01:16,686
is taking shape on the Upper East Side.
37
00:01:16,687 --> 00:01:18,720
(Sighs) There's nothing I love more
38
00:01:18,721 --> 00:01:21,389
than the sound of a
sweatshop in the morning.
39
00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:24,159
That hemline is too short.
40
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,994
And that one is too long.
41
00:01:25,995 --> 00:01:28,529
My debut collection must be perfect.
42
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:30,431
(Singsongy) We haven't
been working day and night
43
00:01:30,432 --> 00:01:32,934
for the last two weeks to make errors.
44
00:01:32,935 --> 00:01:34,402
(Normal voice) The devil is in the details,
45
00:01:34,403 --> 00:01:37,370
and I'm about to start worshiping Satan.
46
00:01:37,371 --> 00:01:38,939
Blair, here is the list of it girls
47
00:01:38,940 --> 00:01:40,174
walking in tonight's show.
48
00:01:40,175 --> 00:01:41,441
(Gasps)
49
00:01:41,442 --> 00:01:44,011
I am so glad Charlotte Casiraghi
50
00:01:44,012 --> 00:01:45,879
agreed to be our centerpiece girl.
51
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,547
She is a veritable style icon
52
00:01:47,548 --> 00:01:50,584
and the only Monegasque
who doesn't hold a grudge.
53
00:01:50,585 --> 00:01:53,319
That is the genius of our strategy.
54
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,888
So what, we missed Fashion Week.
55
00:01:55,889 --> 00:01:56,923
People always take their style cues
56
00:01:56,924 --> 00:01:59,058
from real life it girls, anyway.
57
00:01:59,059 --> 00:02:00,793
Our buyers will clamor for the collection
58
00:02:00,794 --> 00:02:02,361
the second they see it.
59
00:02:02,362 --> 00:02:03,763
Oui, Blair, which reminds me,
60
00:02:03,764 --> 00:02:05,664
I'll go confirm Charlotte's flight now.
61
00:02:08,901 --> 00:02:13,638
Miss Blair, you have no
moment for rest in days.
62
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,174
I bring you health shake with kale.
63
00:02:16,175 --> 00:02:18,243
The only green that I'm
concerned with right now
64
00:02:18,244 --> 00:02:19,510
is the shade of harem pants
65
00:02:19,511 --> 00:02:21,947
Lauren Bush will be donning tonight.
66
00:02:21,948 --> 00:02:23,114
Quel désastre.
67
00:02:23,115 --> 00:02:24,281
Charlotte's lawyers say she has a conflict
68
00:02:24,282 --> 00:02:26,050
with another endorsement.
69
00:02:26,051 --> 00:02:29,620
They've made her drop out
of the show. What do we do?
70
00:02:29,621 --> 00:02:32,790
Not to worry, Jean Pierre.
I've got this under control.
71
00:02:32,791 --> 00:02:34,759
We'll just have to find
someone even more fabulous
72
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,427
to feature as the face of Waldorf Designs.
73
00:02:37,428 --> 00:02:38,928
♪ we are girls, we don't
care what they say ♪
74
00:02:38,929 --> 00:02:42,932
♪ we are girls like you ♪
75
00:02:42,933 --> 00:02:45,414
♪ like me ♪
76
00:02:45,415 --> 00:02:46,616
Thank you.
77
00:02:46,617 --> 00:02:49,352
So, sweetie, what's on tap at school today?
78
00:02:49,353 --> 00:02:50,553
(Cell phone alert chimes)
79
00:02:50,554 --> 00:02:52,321
(Chuckles)
80
00:02:54,591 --> 00:02:55,791
Do you want some berries?
81
00:02:55,792 --> 00:02:57,026
I got 'em fresh at the farmer's market.
82
00:02:58,695 --> 00:03:00,529
Hey, if you wanna be rude to me,
83
00:03:00,530 --> 00:03:03,331
I'll put up with it as
part of my parental duty,
84
00:03:03,332 --> 00:03:05,367
but there is no excuse
to be impolite to Serena.
85
00:03:05,368 --> 00:03:06,769
Ah, it's fine.
86
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:08,971
No, it's not.
87
00:03:08,972 --> 00:03:11,005
Sage, what's the deal?
88
00:03:11,006 --> 00:03:13,708
You've been cutting school,
89
00:03:13,709 --> 00:03:14,776
and you dropped out out
of all the activities
90
00:03:14,777 --> 00:03:16,044
that used to matter to you.
91
00:03:16,045 --> 00:03:17,645
Our agreement was that you could date Nate
92
00:03:17,646 --> 00:03:19,914
if he didn't distract
you from what's important.
93
00:03:19,915 --> 00:03:21,415
Please leave Nate out of this.
94
00:03:21,416 --> 00:03:23,785
Hey. Look at that.
95
00:03:23,786 --> 00:03:25,519
She actually speaks.
96
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,420
(Scoffs) You weren't around all summer,
97
00:03:27,421 --> 00:03:29,255
and now all of a sudden,
you're the world's awesomest dad
98
00:03:29,256 --> 00:03:31,658
trying to impress your trophy girlfriend?
99
00:03:31,659 --> 00:03:32,826
Okay. Wow.
100
00:03:32,827 --> 00:03:34,627
I didn't know that you felt that way,
101
00:03:34,628 --> 00:03:38,131
but now that I do, let's talk about it.
102
00:03:38,132 --> 00:03:40,000
(Cell phone rings, beep)
103
00:03:40,001 --> 00:03:43,102
Hi, Nate. No, it's a great time to talk.
104
00:03:43,103 --> 00:03:46,772
(Sighs)
105
00:03:46,773 --> 00:03:48,741
Well, there went your teachable moment.
106
00:03:48,742 --> 00:03:50,076
(Door closes)
107
00:03:50,077 --> 00:03:51,276
You know, I just don't
know what to do with her.
108
00:03:51,277 --> 00:03:52,945
You know, her grades are abysmal.
109
00:03:52,946 --> 00:03:55,447
College is right around the corner.
110
00:03:55,448 --> 00:03:57,249
You know, I hate to say it,
111
00:03:57,250 --> 00:03:59,984
but maybe I introduced
the two of you too soon.
112
00:03:59,985 --> 00:04:02,486
Well, speaking as someone who
had a lot of stepparent types
113
00:04:02,487 --> 00:04:04,455
waltz in and out of my life,
114
00:04:04,456 --> 00:04:06,390
I know it can be tough,
115
00:04:06,391 --> 00:04:09,393
but we'll make it through it, okay?
116
00:04:09,394 --> 00:04:12,263
I really, really want that.
117
00:04:12,264 --> 00:04:15,232
Well, it sounds like
there's a "but" coming.
118
00:04:15,233 --> 00:04:18,301
Yeah. I just, you know, wonder if I...
119
00:04:18,302 --> 00:04:20,303
moved a little too fast here.
120
00:04:20,304 --> 00:04:22,372
I... make no excuses
for the way she's acting,
121
00:04:22,373 --> 00:04:23,907
but she's still a kid.
122
00:04:23,908 --> 00:04:26,343
You know, if she's this
upset, I need to deal with it.
123
00:04:26,344 --> 00:04:28,678
Well, yeah, you should
definitely talk to her.
124
00:04:30,481 --> 00:04:34,483
You know, I was... I was
thinking more like, um...
125
00:04:35,585 --> 00:04:40,289
you know, maybe you and
I should take a break.
126
00:04:40,290 --> 00:04:42,959
You know, it's the last thing
in the world that I want,
127
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,161
but I should focus on
Sage, you know, get her...
128
00:04:45,162 --> 00:04:46,895
Get her back on track.
129
00:04:46,896 --> 00:04:48,696
Well, what if I talk to her?
130
00:04:48,697 --> 00:04:52,100
You did hear everything
she just said about you.
131
00:04:52,101 --> 00:04:54,936
Well, yeah, but I know how
to relate to girls like Sage
132
00:04:54,937 --> 00:04:58,273
because I was a girl like
Sage not too long ago.
133
00:04:58,274 --> 00:05:02,843
Well, at this point she could
hardly hate either of us more.
134
00:05:02,844 --> 00:05:05,780
Therefore, we have nothing to lose.
135
00:05:05,781 --> 00:05:07,915
She'll come around, I promise. Okay?
136
00:05:07,916 --> 00:05:10,117
Okay.
137
00:05:10,118 --> 00:05:14,155
I heard you on the phone
earlier this morning.
138
00:05:14,156 --> 00:05:15,455
Didn't sound like Blair.
139
00:05:15,456 --> 00:05:18,159
Deeper voice, darker mind. My Uncle Jack.
140
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,159
Ah.
141
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,393
His people on the ground in Dubai
142
00:05:20,394 --> 00:05:22,595
are helping me to find
out who the mystery man
143
00:05:22,596 --> 00:05:24,998
with Bart in Amira's photo is.
144
00:05:24,999 --> 00:05:26,166
Did he come up with anything?
145
00:05:26,167 --> 00:05:27,934
Not yet. We got a
partial plate off the car.
146
00:05:27,935 --> 00:05:30,403
Tracked down the restaurant
it was parked outside of.
147
00:05:30,404 --> 00:05:33,106
So that's a good place
to start asking questions.
148
00:05:33,107 --> 00:05:34,540
Well, that's good news. I
mean, maybe someone in the area
149
00:05:34,541 --> 00:05:36,141
will recognize him, you know?
150
00:05:36,142 --> 00:05:37,475
Yeah, let's hope so.
151
00:05:37,476 --> 00:05:39,211
(Door opens)
152
00:05:41,247 --> 00:05:42,881
(Panting)
153
00:05:42,882 --> 00:05:45,250
I may be negotiating with terrorists,
154
00:05:45,251 --> 00:05:47,186
but you're harboring a fugitive.
155
00:05:47,187 --> 00:05:49,087
(Monkey whimpers)
156
00:05:49,088 --> 00:05:51,055
(Panting)
157
00:05:51,056 --> 00:05:52,924
Come on, Monkey.
158
00:05:52,925 --> 00:05:55,259
(Panting)
159
00:05:55,260 --> 00:05:57,561
I... I'm sorry about that,
man. He's, you know...
160
00:05:57,562 --> 00:05:59,030
No, Chuck's barbs don't bother me.
161
00:05:59,031 --> 00:06:01,265
Anything beats having
Georgina watch me sleep.
162
00:06:01,266 --> 00:06:03,534
I'm just grateful for a place to crash.
163
00:06:03,535 --> 00:06:05,069
Well, as your roommate and publisher,
164
00:06:05,070 --> 00:06:06,903
I am pleased to report that "The Spectator"
165
00:06:06,904 --> 00:06:10,307
is finally ready to post its
very first Humphrey original.
166
00:06:10,308 --> 00:06:12,408
(Chuckles) Hey, it's a good
day, and it's only 9:00 a.m.
167
00:06:12,409 --> 00:06:14,544
Before I publish, would
you wanna warn the subject
168
00:06:14,545 --> 00:06:16,579
of this week's serial?
You know, let 'em know
169
00:06:16,580 --> 00:06:17,347
that they're about to be totally skewered?
170
00:06:17,523 --> 00:06:20,558
Yeah. Uh, yeah, no. No, I'd rather not.
171
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,444
Are you sure? I mean, this is kinda like
172
00:06:23,446 --> 00:06:24,812
when you start sleeping with someone's ex.
173
00:06:24,814 --> 00:06:27,431
It's better... better that
they hear it from you first.
174
00:06:27,433 --> 00:06:28,566
You should know.
175
00:06:28,568 --> 00:06:29,700
So should you.
176
00:06:29,702 --> 00:06:31,202
You think Graydon Carter
makes a courtesy call
177
00:06:31,204 --> 00:06:34,038
to the Astors before
publishing an expose on them?
178
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,239
Yeah, actually.
179
00:06:35,241 --> 00:06:37,491
Post it.
180
00:06:40,111 --> 00:06:41,712
(Exhales deeply)
181
00:06:45,450 --> 00:06:47,334
(Key clicks)
182
00:06:50,392 --> 00:06:53,260
How's the invite list for the
gallery opening coming along?
183
00:06:53,262 --> 00:06:56,463
Speaking of, who will you be escorting?
184
00:06:56,465 --> 00:06:59,516
'Cause I have the perfect suggestion.
185
00:06:59,518 --> 00:07:00,884
Me.
186
00:07:00,886 --> 00:07:03,554
Well, I would love nothing
more than to have you on my arm,
187
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:05,105
uh, but before we announce
our relationship status
188
00:07:05,107 --> 00:07:08,025
to the world, I have to tell my kids first.
189
00:07:08,027 --> 00:07:10,260
Uh, Jenny sent her blessing from London,
190
00:07:10,262 --> 00:07:11,812
but I still haven't connected with Dan.
191
00:07:11,814 --> 00:07:14,231
Well, he'd better hurry
up and get back from Europe
192
00:07:14,233 --> 00:07:16,984
so I can officially be your girlfriend.
193
00:07:16,986 --> 00:07:18,101
Well, he was gonna do some traveling...
194
00:07:18,103 --> 00:07:19,370
(Computer chimes)
195
00:07:19,372 --> 00:07:20,287
after his writer's retreat,
196
00:07:20,289 --> 00:07:21,789
but he should be back any day now,
197
00:07:21,791 --> 00:07:24,608
and I'm sure he'll reach out
to us as soon as he returns.
198
00:07:24,610 --> 00:07:27,711
I wouldn't be too sure about that.
199
00:07:27,713 --> 00:07:31,632
Look at this.
200
00:07:31,634 --> 00:07:35,302
♪
201
00:07:40,842 --> 00:07:43,126
So... who is our new it girl?
202
00:07:43,128 --> 00:07:44,628
She's impossible to find.
203
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:46,063
I've called all of our contacts.
204
00:07:46,065 --> 00:07:48,599
This is Manhattan. There's
an it girl on every corner.
205
00:07:51,736 --> 00:07:55,272
Even on this corner?
206
00:07:55,274 --> 00:07:57,608
I can't walk in my show.
207
00:07:57,610 --> 00:07:58,859
Not you.
208
00:07:58,861 --> 00:08:00,611
Serena.
209
00:08:02,854 --> 00:08:07,023
When I was in high school,
my mom was remarried a lot.
210
00:08:07,025 --> 00:08:09,042
That must have been so hard for you.
211
00:08:09,044 --> 00:08:11,295
Yeah, it actually was,
212
00:08:11,297 --> 00:08:15,549
and I learned the hard way that, you know,
213
00:08:15,551 --> 00:08:17,334
if you act out, you're
only hurting yourself,
214
00:08:17,336 --> 00:08:19,386
so please just try to care about college
215
00:08:19,388 --> 00:08:21,538
and stay involved in your extracurriculars.
216
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:22,890
You're so right, Serena.
217
00:08:22,892 --> 00:08:26,042
And they say you can't be pretty and smart.
218
00:08:26,044 --> 00:08:28,762
And try to go easy on your dad, please.
219
00:08:28,764 --> 00:08:30,147
He's... he's a really good man.
220
00:08:30,149 --> 00:08:31,765
That's why I fell in love with him.
221
00:08:31,767 --> 00:08:33,851
Okay, now my ears are bleeding.
222
00:08:33,853 --> 00:08:36,854
But it's cool to talk to someone
my own age who actually gets it.
223
00:08:36,856 --> 00:08:38,939
I promise I'll turn over a new leaf.
224
00:08:38,941 --> 00:08:40,274
Thanks, Serena.
225
00:08:40,276 --> 00:08:41,909
(Cell phone rings)
226
00:08:41,911 --> 00:08:43,744
Hold on one second.
227
00:08:43,746 --> 00:08:45,779
(Ring, beep)
228
00:08:45,781 --> 00:08:47,197
What do you want?
229
00:08:47,199 --> 00:08:48,866
I'm not even going to
pretend to be calling you
230
00:08:48,868 --> 00:08:51,335
as a friend right now because
you have made it quite clear
231
00:08:51,337 --> 00:08:52,736
that you are not mine,
232
00:08:52,738 --> 00:08:57,073
but I do have a mutually
beneficial business opportunity.
233
00:08:57,075 --> 00:08:58,876
I highly doubt that.
234
00:08:58,878 --> 00:09:01,745
I need a power it girl to walk in my show.
235
00:09:01,747 --> 00:09:04,715
You made a splash at the
Central Park Conservancy Gala.
236
00:09:04,717 --> 00:09:07,351
I'm guessing that you need
something equally as exciting
237
00:09:07,353 --> 00:09:08,802
to follow it up.
238
00:09:08,804 --> 00:09:11,021
Oh, well, your concern
for my social standing
239
00:09:11,023 --> 00:09:12,940
really tugs at my heartstrings,
240
00:09:12,942 --> 00:09:15,392
but a fashion show is hardly a life crisis.
241
00:09:15,394 --> 00:09:17,093
It is to me.
242
00:09:17,095 --> 00:09:19,029
My back is up against the wall,
243
00:09:19,031 --> 00:09:22,115
and not in a hot Chuck Bass kind of way.
244
00:09:22,117 --> 00:09:23,617
(Sighs) You and I have
known each other long enough
245
00:09:23,619 --> 00:09:24,952
that we are like family,
246
00:09:24,954 --> 00:09:27,154
which means that we have earned
the right to hate each other
247
00:09:27,156 --> 00:09:28,539
from time to time, but that doesn't mean
248
00:09:28,541 --> 00:09:32,159
that there's not still love underneath.
249
00:09:32,161 --> 00:09:33,877
(Sighs) Come on, Serena.
250
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,014
Please. How many times have I saved you?
251
00:09:37,016 --> 00:09:39,049
It's your turn to save me back.
252
00:09:39,051 --> 00:09:43,787
I'm saving someone else
now... Steven's daughter Sage.
253
00:09:43,789 --> 00:09:46,957
My only focus is her
and keeping her on track.
254
00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:48,625
They're my new family.
255
00:09:48,627 --> 00:09:50,410
Maybe you should find a new one, too.
256
00:09:50,412 --> 00:09:52,095
(Line disconnects)
257
00:09:55,683 --> 00:09:57,017
(Car door closes, tires peal)
258
00:10:00,405 --> 00:10:01,822
(Sighs)
259
00:10:04,308 --> 00:10:06,977
You know what? If Serena
doesn't wanna be family,
260
00:10:06,979 --> 00:10:11,081
then that's fine. She can
dive right from the gene pool
261
00:10:11,083 --> 00:10:12,199
to the cesspool.
262
00:10:12,201 --> 00:10:14,535
My mother is my family.
263
00:10:14,537 --> 00:10:17,955
My mother... is always watching...
264
00:10:17,957 --> 00:10:19,423
like the "Mona Lisa."
265
00:10:19,425 --> 00:10:22,292
Like the "Mona Lisa" with
a lot of expectations!
266
00:10:25,346 --> 00:10:26,880
You look pale...
267
00:10:26,882 --> 00:10:28,181
(Distorted voice) Like "Mona Lisa."
268
00:10:28,183 --> 00:10:31,001
(Voice echoing) This
business is my namesake.
269
00:10:31,003 --> 00:10:32,436
It is the family jewel.
270
00:10:32,438 --> 00:10:36,056
It is what Chuck paid my dowry to save!
271
00:10:36,058 --> 00:10:37,357
If I'm not successful at this,
272
00:10:37,359 --> 00:10:39,309
we might not even end up together!
273
00:10:39,311 --> 00:10:42,479
(Slow, distorted voice) We all root for you
274
00:10:42,481 --> 00:10:48,652
to be... Blair... Waldorf-Bass.
275
00:10:48,654 --> 00:10:51,538
I must match my mother's hard work,
276
00:10:51,540 --> 00:10:52,873
dedication, and success.
277
00:10:52,875 --> 00:10:56,376
I can't let her down.
I can't let Chuck down.
278
00:10:56,378 --> 00:10:58,328
(Normal voice) Can't let myself down.
279
00:10:58,330 --> 00:11:01,066
They say history repeats itself,
280
00:11:01,070 --> 00:11:06,512
but looks like B. is charting a
brand-new course to epic collapse.
281
00:11:16,714 --> 00:11:19,132
Excuse me. Hey, have you seen this girl?
282
00:11:21,102 --> 00:11:22,085
Are you Serena?
283
00:11:22,087 --> 00:11:23,103
Yeah. Yeah. Where is she?
284
00:11:23,105 --> 00:11:24,221
Uh, you just missed her,
285
00:11:24,223 --> 00:11:26,773
but she did say you
would take care of this.
286
00:11:28,776 --> 00:11:31,695
(Cell phone rings)
287
00:11:31,697 --> 00:11:32,762
(Beep)
288
00:11:32,764 --> 00:11:34,097
Hello?
289
00:11:34,099 --> 00:11:36,599
Yeah, yeah, everything went
as well as it could have.
290
00:11:36,601 --> 00:11:39,069
She thinks just like I did when I was 17.
291
00:11:39,071 --> 00:11:43,573
It's like looking in a mirror.
292
00:11:46,460 --> 00:11:47,443
It seems as if you're suffering
293
00:11:47,445 --> 00:11:49,996
from severe exhaustion and dehydration.
294
00:11:49,998 --> 00:11:51,581
Have you been sleeping? Eating?
295
00:11:51,583 --> 00:11:52,716
Do I look like I've been eating?
296
00:11:52,718 --> 00:11:53,950
Don't insult me.
297
00:11:53,952 --> 00:11:56,152
Miss Blair running
around like rhesus monkey.
298
00:11:56,154 --> 00:11:57,954
She take no moment for sleeping
299
00:11:57,956 --> 00:11:59,923
or eating or resting or stopping.
300
00:11:59,925 --> 00:12:01,541
Is exhausting me, too.
301
00:12:01,543 --> 00:12:03,293
I have been working harder than a farmhand,
302
00:12:03,295 --> 00:12:06,930
but I do have a multimillion
dollar brand to build
303
00:12:06,932 --> 00:12:08,231
and a fashion show to oversee tonight,
304
00:12:08,233 --> 00:12:10,016
so if you'll excuse me.
305
00:12:10,018 --> 00:12:12,419
You're not going anywhere.
If you wanna be at that show,
306
00:12:12,421 --> 00:12:14,738
you need to be on bed rest and I.V. fluids.
307
00:12:14,740 --> 00:12:16,773
Where did you find this quack?
308
00:12:17,942 --> 00:12:19,109
Oh.
309
00:12:19,111 --> 00:12:20,694
Oh!
310
00:12:20,696 --> 00:12:24,114
Perhaps I am a wee bit tired.
311
00:12:24,116 --> 00:12:26,199
I'll prepare the I.V.
312
00:12:26,201 --> 00:12:27,450
I guess I'll just have to
deal with running my empire
313
00:12:27,452 --> 00:12:29,369
from my own sickbed.
314
00:12:34,258 --> 00:12:35,759
Oh, the state of your shirt
315
00:12:35,761 --> 00:12:37,043
makes me think Sage must be close.
316
00:12:37,045 --> 00:12:39,429
Yeah, well, you just missed her.
317
00:12:39,431 --> 00:12:40,714
Where could she have disappeared to now?
318
00:12:40,716 --> 00:12:43,550
I just searched every
floor of Barney's twice.
319
00:12:43,552 --> 00:12:44,718
You try doing that
without stopping to browse
320
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,386
at either of the shoe departments.
321
00:12:46,388 --> 00:12:48,521
I think you should just give up the chase.
322
00:12:48,523 --> 00:12:51,441
(Sighs) I can't. I'm
supposed to be mentoring her.
323
00:12:51,443 --> 00:12:53,360
(Laughs) You? Mentor?
324
00:12:53,362 --> 00:12:54,694
Just go with it.
325
00:12:54,756 --> 00:12:57,874
She may be 17, but she
is wise beyond her years.
326
00:12:57,876 --> 00:12:59,459
She's high school you
times ten, believe me.
327
00:12:59,461 --> 00:13:01,695
But Sage's entire goal is to destroy
328
00:13:01,697 --> 00:13:03,930
mine and Steven's relationship,
and she's succeeding at it,
329
00:13:03,932 --> 00:13:05,465
because I've been lying to him all day.
330
00:13:05,467 --> 00:13:07,016
I'm supposed to be keeping
her on the straight and narrow,
331
00:13:07,018 --> 00:13:08,635
and I have no idea where she is.
332
00:13:08,637 --> 00:13:10,320
Well, if you feel so guilty,
333
00:13:10,322 --> 00:13:11,805
maybe you should just come clean.
334
00:13:11,807 --> 00:13:13,139
I can't. If he knows that I messed this up,
335
00:13:13,141 --> 00:13:14,474
he'll wanna take a break,
336
00:13:14,476 --> 00:13:15,942
and that's the last thing I want.
337
00:13:15,944 --> 00:13:18,278
He's the most important
person in my life right now.
338
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,447
Look, it's his job to
handle her, not yours.
339
00:13:20,449 --> 00:13:22,816
Oh, you're right.
340
00:13:22,818 --> 00:13:25,151
(Sighs deeply) Okay. As
hard as it's gonna be,
341
00:13:25,153 --> 00:13:28,238
I think I just have to admit defeat.
342
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,409
Well, good luck with that.
I'm around if you need to talk.
343
00:13:32,411 --> 00:13:34,043
Thanks.
344
00:13:34,045 --> 00:13:35,712
You here on one of your
famous blackmail missions?
345
00:13:35,714 --> 00:13:36,913
I hope you got it all on film.
346
00:13:36,915 --> 00:13:38,214
Suck it, Humphrey.
347
00:13:38,216 --> 00:13:39,883
You should probably button up your shirt.
348
00:13:39,885 --> 00:13:41,784
You are editor-in-chief now.
349
00:13:41,786 --> 00:13:43,803
(Sighs)
350
00:13:43,805 --> 00:13:46,122
I just can't figure out
how Dan found out about us.
351
00:13:46,124 --> 00:13:47,957
I should have called him
so he heard it from me.
352
00:13:47,959 --> 00:13:49,726
He must be in shock.
353
00:13:49,728 --> 00:13:52,929
(Sighs) Oh, my God.
354
00:13:52,931 --> 00:13:56,900
Rufus, you are too good for your own good.
355
00:13:56,902 --> 00:14:00,270
I mean, your son trashes you in the press,
356
00:14:00,272 --> 00:14:02,322
and you think you're to blame.
357
00:14:02,324 --> 00:14:04,858
I mean, it was bad enough
when Dan fictionalized you
358
00:14:04,860 --> 00:14:08,478
in his last book, but this is next level.
359
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,280
I need to talk to him immediately.
360
00:14:10,282 --> 00:14:11,781
Talk?
361
00:14:11,783 --> 00:14:13,500
Isn't that what you did last time?
362
00:14:13,502 --> 00:14:16,119
And look how well that turned out.
363
00:14:16,121 --> 00:14:21,708
I mean, he's using real names
and distorting the truth.
364
00:14:21,710 --> 00:14:23,176
It's libel.
365
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,598
These ad numbers seem pretty promising.
366
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,934
I think my serial might give
"The Spectator" a real boost.
367
00:14:30,936 --> 00:14:32,018
Yeah, and more importantly,
368
00:14:32,020 --> 00:14:33,353
judging by these online comments at least,
369
00:14:33,355 --> 00:14:35,855
the Rufus piece has reached
a whole new readership.
370
00:14:35,857 --> 00:14:37,223
I mean, people who actually read...
371
00:14:37,225 --> 00:14:38,441
over 35s who love vintage indie rock
372
00:14:38,443 --> 00:14:40,009
and dirt on other people's divorces.
373
00:14:40,011 --> 00:14:42,779
And since my dad isn't exactly
in the "Gossip Girl" demo,
374
00:14:42,781 --> 00:14:45,031
there's no way she can
undermine this story.
375
00:14:45,033 --> 00:14:47,901
(Cell phone alerts chime)
376
00:14:47,903 --> 00:14:49,118
Oh, come on.
377
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,804
(Sighs)
378
00:14:53,290 --> 00:14:55,375
This says your dad is gonna sue you,
379
00:14:55,377 --> 00:14:57,460
me, and "The Spectator."
380
00:14:57,462 --> 00:14:59,879
And "Gossip Girl" is breaking the news.
381
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:04,300
(Sighs)
382
00:15:04,302 --> 00:15:07,003
(Telephone ringing in distance)
383
00:15:08,422 --> 00:15:11,307
Jean Pierre? You are ruining everything.
384
00:15:11,309 --> 00:15:13,309
The runway is the wrong color.
385
00:15:13,311 --> 00:15:14,710
And who approved those wigs?
386
00:15:14,712 --> 00:15:17,880
Even Nicki Minaj knows better.
387
00:15:17,882 --> 00:15:19,182
We will change it all...
388
00:15:19,184 --> 00:15:20,984
paint the runway, ditch the wigs.
389
00:15:20,986 --> 00:15:24,354
Is that Nelly Yuki I see in the background?
390
00:15:24,356 --> 00:15:27,240
She's there for her exclusive interview.
391
00:15:27,242 --> 00:15:29,742
Stall her. Tell her she's pretty.
392
00:15:29,744 --> 00:15:32,195
She's never heard those
words strung together before.
393
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:33,680
(Sighs)
394
00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:35,365
It couldn't get worse, Dorota.
395
00:15:35,367 --> 00:15:36,732
I still haven't found my it girl,
396
00:15:36,734 --> 00:15:38,901
and now Nelly Yuki is sniffing around
397
00:15:38,903 --> 00:15:41,087
like one of Valentino's little dogs.
398
00:15:41,089 --> 00:15:43,106
Jean Pierre should put a muzzle on her.
399
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:45,842
Jean Pierre thinks "Muzzle"
is the name of our D.J.
400
00:15:45,844 --> 00:15:47,794
I don't know who else to call.
401
00:15:47,796 --> 00:15:49,679
The minions are on probation
because of Poppy-gate,
402
00:15:49,681 --> 00:15:51,264
and Dan is still furious with me.
403
00:15:51,266 --> 00:15:53,349
I just want someone who can read my mind.
404
00:15:53,351 --> 00:15:55,351
Is that too much to ask?
405
00:15:57,304 --> 00:15:58,538
Hello, Blair.
406
00:16:06,564 --> 00:16:09,432
Serena. Your ears must be burning.
407
00:16:09,434 --> 00:16:11,034
Yeah? Why?
408
00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:12,101
I was just telling my dad
409
00:16:12,103 --> 00:16:13,920
about the great opportunity you got me.
410
00:16:13,922 --> 00:16:17,106
Of course. The great opportunity.
411
00:16:17,108 --> 00:16:18,708
You scored me a prime spot
412
00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:20,776
walking in Blair Waldorf's
fashion show tonight.
413
00:16:20,778 --> 00:16:25,798
(Sighs) I did, and it's just so exciting.
414
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,216
Who better for me to learn from
415
00:16:27,218 --> 00:16:28,784
than a young businesswoman like Blair,
416
00:16:28,786 --> 00:16:30,620
running her own company?
417
00:16:30,622 --> 00:16:32,055
I do applaud entrepreneurship.
418
00:16:32,057 --> 00:16:33,139
This could lead to a summer internship
419
00:16:33,141 --> 00:16:34,757
or maybe a whole career in fashion.
420
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:36,643
I was just happy to do anything
421
00:16:36,645 --> 00:16:40,229
for... for sweet Sage. (Chuckles)
422
00:16:40,231 --> 00:16:42,398
You know, this is great news.
423
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,851
My two girls getting along.
424
00:16:48,022 --> 00:16:49,739
(Kisses) Thank you.
425
00:16:49,741 --> 00:16:51,240
This means a lot.
426
00:16:55,703 --> 00:16:57,670
You thought I ratted you out, didn't you?
427
00:16:57,672 --> 00:17:00,540
Do you really think I care
about your childhood baggage?
428
00:17:00,542 --> 00:17:02,959
I go to therapy. I have enough of my own.
429
00:17:02,961 --> 00:17:04,911
Hey, I was just trying to help.
430
00:17:04,913 --> 00:17:06,512
How'd you get a spot in Blair's show?
431
00:17:06,514 --> 00:17:08,631
I didn't.
432
00:17:08,633 --> 00:17:09,749
You'll get me in.
433
00:17:09,751 --> 00:17:11,384
Uh... it's not that easy.
434
00:17:11,386 --> 00:17:13,136
Nothing ever is with Blair.
435
00:17:13,138 --> 00:17:14,220
Well, then I'll just have to tell my dad
436
00:17:14,222 --> 00:17:15,755
that I finally found my true calling,
437
00:17:15,757 --> 00:17:17,206
and you squashed it
438
00:17:17,208 --> 00:17:19,759
by telling your B.F.F. not to hire me.
439
00:17:19,761 --> 00:17:22,879
They say don't hate the
player, hate the game.
440
00:17:22,881 --> 00:17:24,847
But when you invented the rules,
441
00:17:24,849 --> 00:17:31,771
losing really stings.
442
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:37,500
I knew nobody keep you
in bed except Mr. Chuck.
443
00:17:37,502 --> 00:17:38,834
That's why I call him.
444
00:17:38,836 --> 00:17:42,588
I would love to spend the
day with you under the duvet,
445
00:17:42,590 --> 00:17:43,839
but you're exhausted.
446
00:17:43,841 --> 00:17:48,044
And I know from my brief
stint as a candy stripper
447
00:17:48,046 --> 00:17:50,179
that an I.V. can be quite a hindrance.
448
00:17:50,181 --> 00:17:51,564
So how may I serve?
449
00:17:51,566 --> 00:17:54,617
I can't pull you away
from taking down Bart.
450
00:17:54,619 --> 00:17:56,485
Well, my hands may be momentarily tied
451
00:17:56,487 --> 00:17:59,472
when it comes to my
mission against my father.
452
00:17:59,474 --> 00:18:00,673
Task me, Blair.
453
00:18:00,675 --> 00:18:05,444
I can't. Tasks are for
minions or Dan Humphrey.
454
00:18:06,913 --> 00:18:11,584
On second thought, I know
exactly what you need done.
455
00:18:11,586 --> 00:18:13,536
And I know exactly how you like it.
456
00:18:13,538 --> 00:18:17,506
No instructions necessary.
457
00:18:22,696 --> 00:18:24,013
(Sighs)
458
00:18:24,015 --> 00:18:26,265
Dorota.
459
00:18:26,267 --> 00:18:29,602
I'm feverish!
460
00:18:29,604 --> 00:18:31,137
(Exhales)
461
00:18:32,686 --> 00:18:36,355
Elton John won $150,000
from "The Sunday Mirror,"
462
00:18:36,357 --> 00:18:38,407
and all they wrote was he
was on some sort of diet
463
00:18:38,409 --> 00:18:40,526
where he chewed his
food but didn't swallow.
464
00:18:40,528 --> 00:18:42,245
Well, don't worry. I'm pretty
sure my father swallows.
465
00:18:42,247 --> 00:18:45,481
Dan, this isn't funny. This
is exactly why I was saying
466
00:18:45,483 --> 00:18:47,116
you should speak to
Rufus in the first place.
467
00:18:47,118 --> 00:18:48,584
No, but this isn't like my father at all.
468
00:18:48,586 --> 00:18:49,985
I mean, granted, nothing he's been doing
469
00:18:49,987 --> 00:18:51,654
has really been in character,
470
00:18:51,656 --> 00:18:53,989
but I just don't believe he would sue.
471
00:18:53,991 --> 00:18:56,509
The last thing he wants
to do is tell the truth,
472
00:18:56,511 --> 00:18:59,962
the whole truth about banging
Ivy Dickens on my sofa.
473
00:18:59,964 --> 00:19:01,931
That doesn't mean that he
isn't gonna try to make a point
474
00:19:01,933 --> 00:19:03,215
or get a settlement.
475
00:19:03,217 --> 00:19:04,383
Nate, look, if I... if I know my dad,
476
00:19:04,385 --> 00:19:06,802
all he wants to do is give me a lecture
477
00:19:06,804 --> 00:19:08,271
from his perch on
mount-holier-than-thou.
478
00:19:08,273 --> 00:19:10,723
We'll be fine.
479
00:19:10,725 --> 00:19:12,725
I'll... I'll go talk to him, but just
480
00:19:12,727 --> 00:19:15,311
try and take a deep breath
and maybe a Xanax or two.
481
00:19:23,271 --> 00:19:25,305
So the show will open with this track.
482
00:19:25,307 --> 00:19:27,408
Here's a list of the rest of the set here
483
00:19:27,410 --> 00:19:29,026
with time stamps.
484
00:19:33,448 --> 00:19:35,749
Chuck.
485
00:19:37,318 --> 00:19:39,920
What do you think?
486
00:19:39,922 --> 00:19:42,256
I'm speechless.
487
00:19:42,258 --> 00:19:44,541
Is it everything you desired?
488
00:19:44,543 --> 00:19:48,429
You read me like tea leaves, Chuck Bass.
489
00:19:48,431 --> 00:19:52,149
(Cell phone alert chimes)
490
00:19:52,151 --> 00:19:54,468
It's Jack. He has a lead
on the man in the photo.
491
00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:55,719
I have to...
492
00:19:55,721 --> 00:19:57,337
Go.
493
00:19:57,339 --> 00:19:59,306
Tonight will be...
494
00:19:59,308 --> 00:20:01,942
Perfect because of you.
495
00:20:01,944 --> 00:20:04,778
Go find that man.
496
00:20:04,780 --> 00:20:07,815
It means we're one step
closer to being together.
497
00:20:10,618 --> 00:20:13,086
(Exhales) Go.
498
00:20:24,332 --> 00:20:27,584
Oh, the ice woman cometh.
499
00:20:27,586 --> 00:20:32,506
(Sighs) I wanted to apologize
about our conversation earlier.
500
00:20:32,508 --> 00:20:34,558
I... I know that I was way out of line.
501
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,927
Save it, Serena. What do you want?
502
00:20:36,929 --> 00:20:39,096
I need Sage to be in your fashion show.
503
00:20:39,098 --> 00:20:43,216
Ironic, since I need a fabulous
it girl to walk in my show.
504
00:20:43,218 --> 00:20:46,386
But Sage is in high school.
Sorry. Can't help you.
505
00:20:46,388 --> 00:20:48,522
This is your opportunity to discover Sage.
506
00:20:48,524 --> 00:20:51,942
Look, Karl found Naomi.
Calvin invented Christy.
507
00:20:51,944 --> 00:20:53,660
People love a fresh, new face.
508
00:20:53,662 --> 00:20:55,762
So what you're saying
is that you wanna use me,
509
00:20:55,764 --> 00:20:57,414
your non-family,
510
00:20:57,416 --> 00:21:00,284
to make a good impression
on your new real family.
511
00:21:00,286 --> 00:21:02,085
Yeah. Yeah, having Sage in your show
512
00:21:02,087 --> 00:21:04,571
will save my relationship with Steven.
513
00:21:04,573 --> 00:21:07,958
Okay. I'll do it.
514
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,293
Thank you.
515
00:21:09,295 --> 00:21:10,511
On one condition.
516
00:21:10,513 --> 00:21:14,464
For some reason, people
care what you think.
517
00:21:14,466 --> 00:21:17,718
So you will sit front row
in vintage Eleanor Waldorf,
518
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,921
applaud wildly, and gush
to anyone who will listen
519
00:21:20,923 --> 00:21:24,057
about how fabulous my new collection is.
520
00:21:24,059 --> 00:21:25,609
Done.
521
00:21:25,611 --> 00:21:27,194
You have a deal.
522
00:21:27,196 --> 00:21:31,532
It was almost nice doing business with you.
523
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:37,270
Sage, come meet Blair. You're in.
524
00:21:37,272 --> 00:21:39,623
Oh, and stunning.
525
00:21:39,625 --> 00:21:40,791
Thank you.
526
00:21:40,793 --> 00:21:41,742
Tonight's gonna be amazing.
527
00:21:41,744 --> 00:21:43,076
Sage will be working the runway.
528
00:21:43,078 --> 00:21:44,444
Steven and I will be sitting in front row.
529
00:21:44,446 --> 00:21:45,879
But starting tomorrow,
530
00:21:45,881 --> 00:21:48,215
you're gonna start caring
about some things, okay?
531
00:21:48,217 --> 00:21:49,499
I am?
532
00:21:49,501 --> 00:21:52,135
Yeah, like attending school
and after school activities
533
00:21:52,137 --> 00:21:53,971
and making it home in time for curfew
534
00:21:53,973 --> 00:21:56,640
and being so, so kind to your father.
535
00:21:56,642 --> 00:21:58,225
Do we understand each other?
536
00:21:58,227 --> 00:22:02,295
Perfectly. I'm so happy
we're all getting along.
537
00:22:02,297 --> 00:22:04,264
I have a feeling tonight's
going to be very memorable.
538
00:22:04,266 --> 00:22:06,233
Careful, ladies.
539
00:22:06,235 --> 00:22:14,391
Turns out Sage might be
a wolf in B.'s clothing.
540
00:22:14,921 --> 00:22:18,057

541

camera shutter clicking)

♪ just relax and let go ♪
543
00:22:25,149 --> 00:22:26,148
Thank you.
544
00:22:26,150 --> 00:22:27,466
Can't wait to see your line.
545
00:22:27,468 --> 00:22:30,135
Eleanor will not be
attending tonight's show
546
00:22:30,137 --> 00:22:32,971
because she trusts me completely.
547
00:22:32,973 --> 00:22:34,940
I feel honored to have earned that trust
548
00:22:34,942 --> 00:22:37,076
and excited about the
future of Waldorf Designs.
549
00:22:37,078 --> 00:22:38,194
Blair? This way.
550
00:22:38,196 --> 00:22:39,278
Excuse me.
551
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,329
Great.
552
00:22:40,331 --> 00:22:41,313
Oh, thank you.
553
00:22:41,315 --> 00:22:43,982
Here you go.
554
00:22:43,984 --> 00:22:45,368
(Sighs)
555
00:22:45,370 --> 00:22:48,671
To Sage's big night and to
you for making this all happen.
556
00:22:48,673 --> 00:22:52,174
Oh, and to us and nothing
standing in the way of our future.
557
00:22:52,176 --> 00:22:53,175
I'll drink to that.
558
00:22:53,177 --> 00:22:54,593
(Clink)
559
00:22:54,595 --> 00:22:56,595
Oh, of course,
560
00:22:56,597 --> 00:22:57,880
when I told you to speak with her,
561
00:22:57,882 --> 00:23:00,132
I imagine you igniting her
interest in horseback riding
562
00:23:00,134 --> 00:23:03,969
or, you know, maybe
joining the volleyball team.
563
00:23:03,971 --> 00:23:05,855
You know, modeling wasn't exactly
564
00:23:05,857 --> 00:23:09,225
the... after school activity I had in mind.
565
00:23:09,227 --> 00:23:11,277
Well, this isn't just
about modeling, though.
566
00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:14,897
I mean, Blair has an incredible
group of women wearing her clothes,
567
00:23:14,899 --> 00:23:17,199
from activists to
businesswomen to actresses.
568
00:23:17,201 --> 00:23:18,851
Sage is in great company.
569
00:23:18,853 --> 00:23:20,352
Okay.
570
00:23:20,354 --> 00:23:22,872
Serena. Steven.
571
00:23:22,874 --> 00:23:26,375
It is such a pleasure
to have you here tonight.
572
00:23:26,377 --> 00:23:29,745
Welcome. And I'm so glad
that Sage is in the show.
573
00:23:29,747 --> 00:23:31,297
She's gonna be beautiful.
574
00:23:31,299 --> 00:23:32,998
Can't wait. (Chuckles)
575
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,385
Oh. Look, I see, uh,
Anderson Cooper over there.
576
00:23:36,387 --> 00:23:38,220
Excuse me. I should go congratulate him
577
00:23:38,222 --> 00:23:40,539
on his old news becoming new news...
578
00:23:40,541 --> 00:23:41,707
if that makes sense.
579
00:23:41,709 --> 00:23:43,742
♪ let go, let go ♪
580
00:23:43,744 --> 00:23:46,011
Let me show you your seat.
581
00:23:46,013 --> 00:23:48,264
Okay, well, I need a good
view if I'm going to applaud.
582
00:23:48,266 --> 00:23:52,935
♪ let go, let go ♪
583
00:23:52,937 --> 00:23:55,354
♪ let go, let go ♪
584
00:23:55,356 --> 00:23:57,573
Why isn't there a seat for Steven here?
585
00:23:57,575 --> 00:23:59,658
Serena, this is prime fashion real estate.
586
00:23:59,660 --> 00:24:01,327
I had to save all the
best seats for journalists
587
00:24:01,329 --> 00:24:04,113
and influencers, not do-gooding dads,
588
00:24:04,115 --> 00:24:06,832
but not to worry. Steven
has a very nice seat
589
00:24:06,834 --> 00:24:09,535
behind you in the third row right there.
590
00:24:09,537 --> 00:24:10,870
No, that is so disrespectful.
591
00:24:10,872 --> 00:24:12,505
Do you even care that we're here?
592
00:24:12,507 --> 00:24:15,057
Well, of course I care.

594
00:24:16,677 --> 00:24:18,878
You are so transparent, Blair.
595
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,213
You couldn't have a seat
for my boyfriend next to me
596
00:24:21,215 --> 00:24:25,017
because you had to save it for
one of your indentured minions.
597
00:24:25,019 --> 00:24:26,852
Well, th... that's not true.
598
00:24:26,854 --> 00:24:28,804
Why even bother to make a deal with me
599
00:24:28,806 --> 00:24:30,439
to have me fake-clap when you've
already got one of your slaves
600
00:24:30,441 --> 00:24:32,591
writing a fake story about
how wonderful your line is?
601
00:24:32,593 --> 00:24:34,610
For your information,
602
00:24:34,612 --> 00:24:36,395
I'm a very real "Women's
Wear Daily" reporter.
603
00:24:36,397 --> 00:24:39,431
Yes, Nelly Yuki, a very real reporter
604
00:24:39,433 --> 00:24:42,952
who happens to look
incredibly gorgeous tonight
605
00:24:42,954 --> 00:24:46,071
and who I am thrilled to
have sitting in the front row.
606
00:24:46,073 --> 00:24:49,107
And... I haven't the slightest clue
607
00:24:49,109 --> 00:24:51,777
what fake deal Serena is referring to.
608
00:24:51,779 --> 00:24:53,879
Nobody likes a fashion counterfeit.
609
00:24:53,881 --> 00:24:55,915
You're right. I would never be
caught dead wearing a knockoff,
610
00:24:55,917 --> 00:24:57,666
and if tonight really is about honesty,
611
00:24:57,668 --> 00:24:59,552
then maybe I will sit next to Nelly,
612
00:24:59,554 --> 00:25:03,389
and I will give her all
of my genuine opinions.
613
00:25:03,391 --> 00:25:06,091
(Sighs)
614
00:25:06,093 --> 00:25:09,094
That's right. Serena.
615
00:25:09,096 --> 00:25:11,897
All your true, nice opinions.
616
00:25:11,899 --> 00:25:17,403
Nobody likes a Debbie
Downer or a Serena sabotage.
617
00:25:17,405 --> 00:25:19,171
I'm sorry that I didn't
let you read it first.
618
00:25:19,173 --> 00:25:20,523
That would've been the honest thing to do.
619
00:25:20,525 --> 00:25:22,775
And I'm sorry that you
had to find out about Ivy
620
00:25:22,777 --> 00:25:26,929
from someone other than me. But...
621
00:25:26,931 --> 00:25:28,347
We're together now,
622
00:25:28,349 --> 00:25:31,150
and, uh, admittedly,
it's... it's getting serious.
623
00:25:31,152 --> 00:25:34,453
W... dad, she... she's a known con artist.
624
00:25:34,455 --> 00:25:36,088
She swindled Lily and her entire family.
625
00:25:36,090 --> 00:25:37,823
And, you may remember from my article,
626
00:25:37,825 --> 00:25:39,792
she tried to have sex with me
627
00:25:39,794 --> 00:25:41,760
and asked me to call her "Serena."
628
00:25:41,762 --> 00:25:44,930
Dan, you're my son,
629
00:25:44,932 --> 00:25:46,932
and we have to find a
way to put this behind us.
630
00:25:46,934 --> 00:25:50,419
But... (Sighs) when it comes
to Ivy, you're way out of line.
631
00:25:50,421 --> 00:25:52,154
I'm an adult,
632
00:25:52,156 --> 00:25:54,640
and you need to respect
my decision to be with her.
633
00:25:54,642 --> 00:25:56,475
Being with her is the adult decision?
634
00:25:56,477 --> 00:25:57,726
Throughout my entire life,
635
00:25:57,728 --> 00:25:59,177
you have portrayed yourself
as the moral compass,
636
00:25:59,179 --> 00:26:00,846
the guy who always does the right thing.
637
00:26:00,848 --> 00:26:02,180
According to Rufus Humphrey,
638
00:26:02,182 --> 00:26:03,282
there's no road like the high road.
639
00:26:03,284 --> 00:26:05,484
Yes, I believe in doing the right thing.
640
00:26:05,486 --> 00:26:07,620
So can't you see what
you're doing with your life?
641
00:26:07,622 --> 00:26:09,955
Your whole thing is a lie.
642
00:26:09,957 --> 00:26:11,123
At least I wrote the truth,
643
00:26:11,125 --> 00:26:12,575
and the truth, which, by the way,
644
00:26:12,577 --> 00:26:14,543
is a defense against a
libel, so you've got no case.
645
00:26:14,545 --> 00:26:18,047
Case? I don't want a case.
646
00:26:18,049 --> 00:26:22,384
I just wanna have a real
conversation with my son,
647
00:26:22,386 --> 00:26:24,203
so let me know if you see him around.

Likewise, Nate.
679

Listen, I wanted to thank you for choosing
680
00:27:54,161 --> 00:27:56,294
to advertise with us at
"The Spectator" this week.
681
00:27:56,296 --> 00:27:58,480
It's been a real pleasure doing
business with you and your team.
682
00:27:58,482 --> 00:28:01,233
We were very excited about Dan
Humphrey's inaugural serial.
683
00:28:01,235 --> 00:28:03,736
We knew it would draw a lot of eyeballs.
684
00:28:03,738 --> 00:28:06,438
And it has, and I know Dan's
piece next week will garner
685
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,823
even more attention.
686
00:28:07,825 --> 00:28:09,608

about buying up some more space

688
00:28:10,911 --> 00:28:12,778

Wait. I'm... I'm sorry. What?
690
00:28:14,832 --> 00:28:17,833
Dan's serial is continuing
in "Vanity Fair."
691
00:28:17,835 --> 00:28:21,003
Yeah, I thought "The Spectator"
was just a onetime occurrence,
692
00:28:21,005 --> 00:28:22,337
which is too bad for me
693
00:28:22,339 --> 00:28:26,542
because Graydon is charging ten
times as much as you did for ad space.

00:29:05,532 --> 00:29:07,533
* onto the dance floor *
706
00:29:07,535 --> 00:29:11,536
* D.J., loop this... up
until the break of day *
707
00:29:11,538 --> 00:29:14,006
* why don't you come along? *
708
00:29:14,008 --> 00:29:15,858
* spinning backwards all night long *
709
00:29:15,860 --> 00:29:17,542
* this rhythm moves along *
710
00:29:17,544 --> 00:29:20,596
* why not get emotional? *
711
00:29:20,598 --> 00:29:22,181
* you can come along *
712
00:29:22,183 --> 00:29:24,433
* grab my hand, and we'll both get gone *
713
00:29:24,435 --> 00:29:26,568
*
714
00:29:26,570 --> 00:29:28,270
* let's get our party on *
715
00:29:28,272 --> 00:29:30,606
(camera shutters clicking)
716
00:29:30,608 --> 00:29:33,942
(Audience murmuring)
717
00:29:33,944 --> 00:29:35,527
*
718
00:29:35,529 --> 00:29:37,329
(woman) And different.
719
00:29:37,331 --> 00:29:39,164
(Man) You know, it could work.
720
00:29:39,166 --> 00:29:40,732
(Woman speaks indistinctly)
721
00:29:40,734 --> 00:29:42,668
(Man speaks indistinctly)
722
00:29:42,670 --> 00:29:43,786
(Woman) She pulls it off.
723
00:29:43,788 --> 00:29:46,672
(Woman) I like it.
724
00:29:46,674 --> 00:29:49,174
H... have you guys lost your minds?
725
00:29:49,176 --> 00:29:53,095
This isn't fashion forward
or provocative or couture.
726
00:29:53,097 --> 00:29:54,596
It... it's exploitation,
and it's embarrassing.
727
00:29:54,598 --> 00:29:55,798
* we're breathing *
728
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,299
* why don't you come along? *
729
00:29:57,301 --> 00:29:59,802
* spinning backwards all night long *
730
00:29:59,804 --> 00:30:01,720
* this rhythm moves along *
731
00:30:01,722 --> 00:30:04,439
* why not get emotional? *
732
00:30:04,441 --> 00:30:05,858
* you can come along *
733
00:30:05,860 --> 00:30:08,894
* grab my hand, and we'll both get gone *
734
00:30:08,896 --> 00:30:10,262
(gasps)
735
00:30:10,264 --> 00:30:13,115
Okay, Alexa, it's your
turn. (Chuckles nervously)
736
00:30:13,117 --> 00:30:14,432
(Sighs) Show must go on.
737
00:30:14,434 --> 00:30:16,268
No one cares about one
person's silly opinion.
738
00:30:16,270 --> 00:30:17,286
So strut!
739
00:30:17,288 --> 00:30:20,906
*
740
00:30:20,908 --> 00:30:22,574
(man) Yep, I'm out of here.
741
00:30:24,043 --> 00:30:25,294
There's no way in hell I'm going out there.
742
00:30:25,296 --> 00:30:26,745
Oh. Don't go.
743
00:30:26,747 --> 00:30:27,913
* ah, ah *
744
00:30:27,915 --> 00:30:29,047
w...
745
00:30:29,049 --> 00:30:30,999
(Gossip Girl) It's B.'s party,
746
00:30:31,001 --> 00:30:32,801
and she'll cry if she wants to,
747
00:30:32,803 --> 00:30:34,636
'cause looks like this birthday suit
748
00:30:34,638 --> 00:30:42,628
isn't exactly cause for celebration.
749
00:30:43,398 --> 00:30:48,286
I only did it because
I wanted to protect you.
750
00:30:48,288 --> 00:30:51,105
No one ever stands up for you.
751
00:30:51,107 --> 00:30:52,940
I thought if I... (Sighs)
752
00:30:52,942 --> 00:30:54,792
threatened a lawsuit on "Gossip Girl,"
753
00:30:54,794 --> 00:30:58,279
"The Spectator" would have
to retract Dan's piece.
754
00:30:58,281 --> 00:31:00,465
Standing up for me is one thing,
755
00:31:00,467 --> 00:31:04,585
but you shouldn't interfere in
matters between me and my son.
756
00:31:05,838 --> 00:31:08,489
I... I apologize, Rufus.
757
00:31:08,491 --> 00:31:11,576
I wasn't thinking about the consequences,
758
00:31:11,578 --> 00:31:16,747
but Dan did publish this piece to hurt you.
759
00:31:16,749 --> 00:31:18,883
There are other ways to fight back, Ivy.
760
00:31:18,885 --> 00:31:21,435
No.
761
00:31:21,437 --> 00:31:24,505
The only way to deal with the
world of the Upper East Side
762
00:31:24,507 --> 00:31:27,441
is to fight fire with fire.
763
00:31:27,443 --> 00:31:31,529
Dan may have been an
innocent Brooklyn boy once,
764
00:31:31,531 --> 00:31:33,397
but while you weren't looking,
765
00:31:33,399 --> 00:31:39,019
he became as ruthless as
any Park Avenue prince.
766
00:31:40,021 --> 00:31:45,676
(Sighs) I'm sorry I inserted
myself in your battle,
767
00:31:45,678 --> 00:31:47,411
but it broke my heart
768
00:31:47,413 --> 00:31:49,747
to see you trashed so viciously.
769
00:31:49,749 --> 00:31:53,417
Well, his words may have been nasty,
770
00:31:53,419 --> 00:31:54,785
but Dan wrote the truth.
771
00:31:56,522 --> 00:31:59,323
We are together.
772
00:31:59,325 --> 00:32:02,693
And I want you...
773
00:32:02,695 --> 00:32:07,098
by my side, here and
at the gallery opening.
774
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:09,150
Mmm.
775
00:32:15,390 --> 00:32:18,526
(Indistinct conversations)
776
00:32:18,528 --> 00:32:20,361
Why the hell do my advertisers think
777
00:32:20,363 --> 00:32:22,697
that "Vanity Fair" is publishing
the rest of your serial?
778
00:32:22,699 --> 00:32:24,732
Because they are.
779
00:32:24,734 --> 00:32:26,834
Dan, we had a deal.
780
00:32:26,836 --> 00:32:28,502
A handshake is hardly a deal.
781
00:32:28,504 --> 00:32:30,371
Oh, my God. I think I'm gonna hit you.
782
00:32:30,373 --> 00:32:31,622
I told you last week
783
00:32:31,624 --> 00:32:33,007
it was a bad idea to mix
business and friendship.
784
00:32:33,009 --> 00:32:34,859
You wanted me to go to Rufus
before publishing the piece,
785
00:32:34,861 --> 00:32:36,377
and today when he... when
he threatened a lawsuit,
786
00:32:36,379 --> 00:32:37,428
you freaked out.
787
00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:39,013
I was trying to protect my newspaper.
788
00:32:39,015 --> 00:32:41,465
What do you want me to say?
"Vanity Fair" is the big-time,
789
00:32:41,467 --> 00:32:43,417
and the more readers I
have, the more power I have.
790
00:32:43,419 --> 00:32:44,468
It is that simple.
791
00:32:44,470 --> 00:32:46,103
I thought we were in this together.
792
00:32:46,105 --> 00:32:48,439
We were, and then
something better came long.
793
00:32:48,441 --> 00:32:50,358
Okay, now I know I wanna hit you.
794
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,092
Come on, Nate. You know you
and all of your other friends
795
00:32:52,094 --> 00:32:54,312
would've done the exact
same thing in my position.
796
00:32:54,314 --> 00:32:55,897
You know what? Don't bother
coming back to The Empire.
797
00:32:55,899 --> 00:32:57,448
Find another place to stay.
798
00:32:57,450 --> 00:32:59,033
I thought you might say that.
799
00:33:00,953 --> 00:33:02,987
(Scoffs)
800
00:33:15,584 --> 00:33:17,668
Dave Berger.
801
00:33:19,788 --> 00:33:24,058
You used to work for Bart Bass
a while back as a bodyguard.
802
00:33:24,060 --> 00:33:26,644
He fired me. I got nothing
to say about that guy.
803
00:33:26,646 --> 00:33:28,963
I just have a few questions
about a weekend you spent
804
00:33:28,965 --> 00:33:31,565
with Bart in Dubai, about four years ago.
805
00:33:31,567 --> 00:33:33,401
Like I said, I got nothing.
806
00:33:33,403 --> 00:33:35,987
Mr. Bass makes everyone sign
a nondisclosure agreement.
807
00:33:35,989 --> 00:33:37,688
I don't know who you are,
808
00:33:37,690 --> 00:33:39,407
but I know better than to cross him.
809
00:33:42,744 --> 00:33:45,112
Think of me as a friend,
810
00:33:45,114 --> 00:33:47,915
a compadre, a fellow fighter.
811
00:33:47,917 --> 00:33:50,868
This gym is pretty nice.
812
00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:52,286
It's all right.
813
00:33:52,288 --> 00:33:55,439
Perhaps you'd like to own it
instead of just working here.
814
00:33:55,441 --> 00:34:00,494
Personally, I've always taken
great pleasure in being my own boss.
815
00:34:00,496 --> 00:34:03,648

Just because I didn't give
your geriatric boyfriend a seat
821
00:34:22,902 --> 00:34:26,353
doesn't mean that you had to
tell Sage to sabotage my show!
822
00:34:26,355 --> 00:34:27,788
Save it, Blair.
823
00:34:27,790 --> 00:34:29,356
You were so upset that I care
more about Steven than your show
824
00:34:29,358 --> 00:34:31,492
that you had to destroy my relationship.
825
00:34:31,494 --> 00:34:33,544
I didn't tell her to take
off the dress. You did.
826
00:34:33,546 --> 00:34:34,912
No, I didn't.
827
00:34:34,914 --> 00:34:37,364
I would much rather avoid
the child pornography charges.
828
00:34:37,366 --> 00:34:39,366
Well, if I didn't tell
her to take off the dress,
829
00:34:39,368 --> 00:34:42,386
and you didn't tell her to take
off the dress, then who did?
830
00:34:43,472 --> 00:34:45,306
I happened to like the underwear more.
831
00:34:48,226 --> 00:34:52,396
Sage, you get in this car
right now. We are going home.
832
00:34:52,398 --> 00:34:54,265
I'll see you later.

836
00:35:05,161 --> 00:35:09,448
When Sage's dress came
off, they both came undone.
837
00:35:15,367 --> 00:35:17,702
Steven, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.
838
00:35:17,704 --> 00:35:20,238
She's right. It is all her fault.
839
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,339
She gave me all this advice
840
00:35:21,341 --> 00:35:23,074
and told me to use her as a role model.
841
00:35:23,076 --> 00:35:26,878
Save it, Sage. I know you set Serena up.
842
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,112
I should've known
843
00:35:28,114 --> 00:35:29,197
as soon as you started
talking about the fashion show
844
00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:31,616
that you were planning something.
845
00:35:31,618 --> 00:35:33,751
Serena isn't the one who
should be apologizing.
846
00:35:33,753 --> 00:35:36,671
It's you.
847
00:35:36,673 --> 00:35:39,340
(Sighs)
848
00:35:39,342 --> 00:35:40,675
I'm waiting.
849
00:35:40,677 --> 00:35:44,062
(Sighs)
850
00:35:44,064 --> 00:35:46,014
Serena, I'm sorry that
you weren't clever enough
851
00:35:46,016 --> 00:35:47,548
to figure out what I was up to.
852
00:35:47,550 --> 00:35:49,434
Sage, I am warning you.
853
00:35:51,620 --> 00:35:53,605
I apologize.
854
00:35:53,607 --> 00:35:55,907
I shouldn't have taken advantage of you.
855
00:35:55,909 --> 00:35:57,342
It won't happen again.
856
00:35:59,795 --> 00:36:02,130
Good.
857
00:36:02,132 --> 00:36:03,765
Now I'm gonna contemplate your punishment
858
00:36:03,767 --> 00:36:06,567
while I make us all some tea.
859
00:36:06,569 --> 00:36:08,603
It's been a very long night.
860
00:36:12,791 --> 00:36:15,543
For the record, I didn't
mean a word of that.
861
00:36:15,545 --> 00:36:16,844
I'm not sorry at all.
862
00:36:16,846 --> 00:36:20,048
Well, for the record, I don't care.
863
00:36:20,050 --> 00:36:23,635
Why don't you just try to wrap
your little machiavellian brain
864
00:36:23,637 --> 00:36:26,104
around the fact that your father
and I are gonna be together
865
00:36:26,106 --> 00:36:27,522
no matter what you do?
866
00:36:27,524 --> 00:36:30,341
So you're gonna have to
get used to me, sweetheart.
867
00:36:32,394 --> 00:36:33,945
Chamomile or mint?
868
00:36:37,866 --> 00:36:40,068
I just got off the phone with Jean Pierre.
869
00:36:40,070 --> 00:36:43,771
It's a fashion prognosis
of disastrous proportion.
870
00:36:43,773 --> 00:36:47,709
Not one buyer has made an
appointment to place an order.
871
00:36:47,711 --> 00:36:48,993
And to make things worse,
872
00:36:48,995 --> 00:36:51,829
Nelly Yuki trashed me
in "Women's Wear Daily."
873
00:36:51,831 --> 00:36:54,282
"Can Blair Waldorf step
into her mother's shoes,
874
00:36:54,284 --> 00:36:57,669
or is her Achilles' heel
of the stripper variety?"
875
00:36:57,671 --> 00:37:00,171
(Scoffs) Dorota, I have been relegated
876
00:37:00,173 --> 00:37:02,640
to clear heels and Kardashian tastes!
877
00:37:02,642 --> 00:37:06,728
I always know this Nelly a real snake.
878
00:37:06,730 --> 00:37:08,930
It doesn't even matter
if the clothes are good.
879
00:37:08,932 --> 00:37:11,115
Serena walked out, and everyone followed.
880
00:37:11,117 --> 00:37:13,467
Once again, I have been defeated
881
00:37:13,469 --> 00:37:15,403
at the hands of Serena Van Der Woodsen.
882
00:37:15,405 --> 00:37:17,522
She's the double-edged
sword of my very existence.
883
00:37:17,524 --> 00:37:21,559
Miss Blair must keep chin
up, must keep company going.
884
00:37:21,561 --> 00:37:22,860
You will make Miss Eleanor proud.
885
00:37:22,862 --> 00:37:25,380
I know because I proud already.
886
00:37:25,382 --> 00:37:28,916
My mother. How am I
gonna explain this to her?
887
00:37:28,918 --> 00:37:31,586
Eleanor Waldorf does not
take kindly to the "F" word...
888
00:37:31,588 --> 00:37:33,421
"Failure."
889
00:37:36,041 --> 00:37:37,925
(Sighs deeply)
890
00:37:37,927 --> 00:37:41,145
Save the Dom, Chuck. I would rather die.
891
00:37:41,147 --> 00:37:43,381
I am the laughingstock
of the fashion press.
892
00:37:43,383 --> 00:37:46,301
The clothes were beautiful,
and you are beautiful,
893
00:37:46,303 --> 00:37:48,970
and that is something we need to celebrate.
894
00:37:48,972 --> 00:37:52,140
You say celebrate. I say drown my sorrows.
895
00:37:52,142 --> 00:37:53,274
Give me the bottle.

Tolstoy wrote

00:37:54,344 --> 00:37:57,111
that all happy families are alike,

00:37:57,113 --> 00:38:01,649

is unhappy in its own way,
899
00:38:01,651 --> 00:38:03,318
especially on the Upper East Side.

I heard you sold your serial
to "Vanity Fair" this morning.
931
00:39:16,559 --> 00:39:19,026
I can't believe they bought it
ten minutes after it was posted.

937
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:32,773
Uh, weird.

00:39:32,775 --> 00:39:34,292
Kinda dirty but good.

Are you Dan Humphrey?
944
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,226
I am.
945
00:39:52,228 --> 00:39:54,011
I read your piece in "The Spectator" today
946
00:39:54,013 --> 00:39:57,064
and I loved it. Can I buy you a drink?

00:39:58,934 --> 00:40:01,068
(Chuckles) Absolutely.
948
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,646

Dave Berger worked as a

953
00:40:23,460 --> 00:40:27,328
Dave wasn't in the meeting,
so that's all he could tell me.
954
00:40:27,330 --> 00:40:29,947

00:40:32,318 --> 00:40:34,936

we join forces,
