1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,630
<i>Gossip Girl here,
your one and only source...</i>

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,075
<i>... into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.</i>

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,789
I want the movie rights to this book.
Since you're friends with the author...

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,430
...that shouldn't be a problem.
- We're not on good terms right now.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,556
<i>I'm giving you the book rights.</i>

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,473
I do have one condition:
I wanna write the screenplay.

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,629
What are those?

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,439
My late husband had his investigator
research our family.

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,110
There's a story in that safe.
I saw it myself.

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,238
- I wanna return these to you.
- You're not gonna use them ever?

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,231
Anything of value was on Gossip Girl.

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,311
"Dr. Eliza Barnes."

13
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,232
- You look like you need to talk.
- I do.

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,756
You never had a childhood, so you
behave like a child in the worst ways.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,359
Your superficial connections...

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,115
...and lack of authentic emotion
leave you isolated and alone.

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,193
Throwing away your loyal family
for a fianc�e you shouldn't trust.

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,351
You really believe
she has no other secrets?

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,035
- I would never lie to you, you know that.
- I never know with you.

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,589
I have a problem I was hoping
you could help me with.

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,910
I'd like to meet
so I could tell you more.

22
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,838
<i>I'm willing to pay for your time.</i>

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,395
<i>Where has she been?</i>

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,748
<i>And who am I?</i>

25
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,514
<i>That's one secret I'll never tell.</i>

26
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,471
<i>You know you love me. XOXO...</i>

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,629
<i>... Gossip Girl.</i>

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,474
<i>They say
the road of life is long and winding...</i>

29
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,996
<i>... so it's important to mark
the milestones along your way.</i>

30
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,837
<i>From picking your bridesmaids...</i>

31
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,438
So many minions.
How you ever going to decide?

32
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,716
Tryouts begin after breakfast.

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,790
Let's put the bar up front,
the DJ in the back.

34
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:40,475
The caterers can set up in the bullpen
when we toss out those moving boxes.

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,518
Nate, can I add one more thing
to your to-do list?

36
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,750
Definitely.

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,755
<i>... to christening
your boss's new desk.</i>

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,792
Oh, my, ha, ha.

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,958
<i>Landing on your first best-seller list...</i>

40
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,193
"Number nine:
<i>Inside</i> by Daniel Humphrey."

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,153
What did, uh, Lincoln Hawk's
first single debut at?

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,753
Eight.

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,353
Uh, don't pay too much attention
to that stuff. That was the '90s.

44
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,192
<i>- To finally asking for help.</i>

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,510
So how you feeling today?

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,628
Fit as a fiddle.

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,360
<i>But keep your eyes
on the road, Upper East Siders...</i>

48
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,636
<i>... or you could get lost along the way.</i>

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,597
- That was a productive morning.
- Yeah.

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,274
I got a lot accomplished
in a short amount of time.

51
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,512
Don't gloat.
If anyone deserves top marks, it's me.

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,716
- Hmm.
- Now zip me up.

53
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,236
I was thinking about the party tonight,
and I was thinking that maybe...

54
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,630
...you could be my date.

55
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,871
You're joking.

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,589
You're not?

57
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,910
Isn't it time we told the world
we're a couple?

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,953
- I can't think of a better time.
- I can't think of a worse one.

59
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,588
Tonight's the public launch
of my new media empire.

60
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,194
I'm showing New York City who I am.

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,319
Besides, we both know female bosses
can't mix business and pleasure...

62
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,630
...without people whispering
behind their back.

63
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,950
I'd still like you
to meet a few of my friends.

64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,032
- Can we at least talk about that?
- Of course.

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,192
Right after you and Charlie
deliver the new <i>Spectator</i> tablets...

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,713
...to all our VIP guests.

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,233
Heard of, uh, a messenger service?

68
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,675
So some unattractive delivery guy
can hand them...

69
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,115
...to an assistant
who's gonna sell them on eBay?

70
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,151
- I don't think so.
- Ugh.

71
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,515
Here is your list.

72
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,074
Charlie?

73
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,636
I mean, seriously?
This is four pages long.

74
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,789
Don't pout.

75
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,155
Charlie, you are East Side.

76
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,231
Nate, you're West. And I have to run...

77
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,234
...because I am late for a meeting
with an old friend from L.A.

78
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,868
Hmm. I knew I shouldn't have
worn heels today.

79
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,838
The dream starts the same every time.

80
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,752
They have a habit of doing that.

81
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,957
I'm taking an early morning stroll
in my new Berluti wingtips.

82
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,110
I look up, and a block away is the most
magnificent skyscraper I've ever seen.

83
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,191
I have to get inside it.

84
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,036
But every time I round the corner,
it's still a block away.

85
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,235
So, what do you do?

86
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,119
- I start to run, but as soon as I reach it...
- You wake up.

87
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,030
What do you think the dream is about?

88
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,510
My father's tragic death?
My mother's secret life?

89
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,399
Or perhaps my chronic oral fixation.

90
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,790
I appreciate your sense of humor,
Charles, but...

91
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,111
But you think it's a defense mechanism
against intensive therapy.

92
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:24,316
Be honest.
You know you're holding back.

93
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,950
How can you be so sure
I'm hiding something?

94
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,748
Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel there's
a piece of the puzzle still missing.

95
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,317
It's not your mother or your father.

96
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:39,831
There's someone
you're not telling me about.

97
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,670
Good morning, Blair.

98
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:49,592
Don't you just adore us?

99
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,759
Why do I feel
like there's a request coming?

100
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,559
Not a request. A special dispensation.

101
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,035
- For what?
- Scheming and manipulating.

102
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,189
Who do you work for?

103
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,915
Louis, can't you just turn a blind eye for,
let's say, 24 hours?

104
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,433
Blair...

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,717
All I'd be doing is spending the day
with my former minions.

106
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,791
Maybe some light waterboarding
involved...

107
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,076
...but I've been so good for so long.

108
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,310
And once I'm Her Serene Highness
of Monaco...

109
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,959
...all meddling will be <i>prohib�</i>.

110
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,519
Queen B need last hurrah.

111
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,358
Are you sure that's such a good idea?

112
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:27,549
Forgive me, I've just never understood
this Upper East Side tradition of yours.

113
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,553
I know,
and that's why we're perfect together.

114
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,551
You don't have the scheme gene
like I do.

115
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,194
- You don't get the itch.
- Maybe it's hormonal.

116
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,920
Darling, it's just one day.

117
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,355
Okay, I give up.

118
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,195
I'll look away,
but only until the party tonight.

119
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,713
That's more than enough time.
Commenced.

120
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,430
Don't worry, my love,
nobody will get hurt.

121
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,511
Not badly.

122
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,117
Hey, Dan's on his way up.

123
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:06,273
Serena, I want you to meet
a dear old friend of mine, Diana Payne.

124
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,479
Serena. I think you came to a party
at my house in Los Angeles...

125
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,035
...but I was indisposed.
So good to finally meet you.

126
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,237
- So nice to meet you too.
- Serena's my latest find.

127
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,910
A month ago herjob was getting
my director three shots over ice.

128
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,435
Now I've got her optioning
best-sellers for me.

129
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,478
I'm gonna go get a tart cherry juice
and call David O. Russell.

130
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,995
I'll be back in time for our meeting.

131
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,275
It's such a small world.

132
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,115
My friend Nate Archibald actually works
for you, and my cousin Charlie Rhodes.

133
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:37,592
Oh, yes. They've both been instrumental
in helping me rebrand <i>The Spectator</i>.

134
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,876
- Oh.
- I hope you'll be coming to our party.

135
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,873
- Oh, no, I wasn't planning on it.
- Oh, but you should.

136
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,951
In fact, someone like you...

137
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,476
...with your influence, should have
her own place to speak her mind.

138
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,279
Have you ever thought about
blogging for a website?

139
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,711
I know my readers would love to hear
every detail about your life.

140
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,599
There's already somebody
who's all over that.

141
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,591
Not really a fan of her work.

142
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,718
Gossip Girl doesn't have the monopoly
on Serena van der Woodsen.

143
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,314
No, but I've been hurt enough
by what she's said...

144
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,835
...I could never take part
in something like that.

145
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,958
I hope you'll come to the party.
It'd be great to keep talking.

146
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,192
As faithful minions through the years,
you've each earned a chance...

147
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,079
...to be immortalized as a bridesmaid
in my royal wedding.

148
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,959
Legally I must warn you,
not everyone will survive tryouts.

149
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,237
I've drafted a waiver for you to sign
in the event of a catastrophe.

150
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,359
Kati, Penelope, nice to see Constance
so ably represented.

151
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,238
Jessica, Columbia's finest.

152
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,994
It's always been my dream
to be your bridesmaid...

153
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,152
Do yourself a favor
and stop talking right now.

154
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,912
Even Pippa knew when to pipe down.

155
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,509
Where's Nelly Yuki?

156
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,319
Yale. Where she got in and you didn't.

157
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,198
Plus, she hates you, remember?

158
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,595
Well, an odd numberjust won't do.
We need another contestant.

159
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,876
Charlie. Heh.

160
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,998
You're the maid of honor's cousin.
You should be in the mix too.

161
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,230
- What are you doing right now?
- Nothing?

162
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,470
Then get in line, if you dare.

163
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,836
Hello, doctor.

164
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,473
- What's this?
- The rest of what I owe you.

165
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,278
I told you it'd be worth your while.

166
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,750
- Now you can settle your father's debts.
- What do you want me to do?

167
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,639
Just make sure my fianc�e
will never fall for him again.

168
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,552
Louis, that's up to Blair.

169
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,790
No, it's up to you.

170
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,158
Turn Chuck back into the monster
he was for the first 20 years of his life.

171
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,833
He's a time bomb.

172
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,350
Find his fuse and light it.

173
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,796
<i>Looks like Louis is about
to make young Bass'road to recovery...</i>

174
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,757
<i>... a very bumpy ride.</i>

175
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,956
<i>Better buckle up, Chuck.</i>

176
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,238
Dr. Barnes, what are you doing here?

177
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,472
A house call is a little
out of the ordinary in my line of work...

178
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,599
...but I felt our last interaction
ended too abruptly. May I sit?

179
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,034
Of course.

180
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,479
I was hoping that being
in your environment might help.

181
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,596
I applaud your persistence,
Dr. Barnes...

182
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,035
...but I've searched
the far corners of my mind...

183
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,913
...and I'm not hiding anything,
from you or myself.

184
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,155
I'm an open book.

185
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,436
Then let's skip to the chapter
about Blair Waldorf.

186
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,399
I live in this city.
I read the papers just like everyone else.

187
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:34,870
You've done your homework, but
I don't see how my history with Blair...

188
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,952
...or the tabloid fodder it produces,
is relevant to my therapy.

189
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,430
It's relevant if Blair is the source
of your suffering.

190
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,956
Aren't you upset that the love of
your life is marrying someone else?

191
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,350
I let Blair go. Let's leave it at that.

192
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,954
You're actually telling me
you're not furious?

193
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,758
Next chapter.

194
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,873
Ever thought it's your denial of these
feelings that's giving you nightmares?

195
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,469
Expressing your rage and anger
is part of your healing process.

196
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,029
You can't move on until you let it out.

197
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:06,233
You have to face
that you didn't let Blair go...

198
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,630
...you lost her to someone else.

199
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,791
You don't know what I did.

200
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,272
But, yes...

201
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,032
...maybe there is something else I need
to do if I'm ever going to move on.

202
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,276
I don't wanna lie to you.
I don't wanna lie to myself.

203
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,031
If I ever really let Blair go,
I don't need this anymore.

204
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,755
It's beautiful.

205
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,711
I bought it to give to her.

206
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:52,074
I've been keeping hold of it
ever since...

207
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,868
...when really what I should do
is just return it.

208
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,110
If that's what you need to do,
you should do it.

209
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,959
Will you take it?

210
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,318
Just give it to charity or something,
I don't care. Just take it away.

211
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,109
Thank you.

212
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:36,473
So, Mr. Screenwriter, are you ready for
your first ever development meeting?

213
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,359
I think so. As long as you
don't wanna change the ending...

214
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,988
...or the beginning
or all the stuff in the middle.

215
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,550
Don't worry,
you'll love working with Jane.

216
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,359
- Ah, there he is.
- Whoa, hey.

217
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,431
We're so excited.

218
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,357
Dan, this is Natalie,
my exec at Warners.

219
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,988
- Hi, so nice to...
- I love, love, love your book.

220
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,310
The characters, the voice,
everything.

221
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,393
Honestly, just transfer the novel straight
to Final Draft. Copy, paste, done.

222
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:05,996
Wow, thank you. So you don't have
any notes before I start writing?

223
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,472
We'd love if you could open up the
world of the Upper East Side a bit more.

224
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,797
Rich people are so hard to like.
Maybe add someone more relatable.

225
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,837
I, heh... I thought I did that already.

226
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,878
I think Dan is referring
to his main character, Dylan Hunter.

227
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,715
He'll appeal to everyone. He starts off
as an innocent from Brooklyn.

228
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,838
Who quotes Hawthorne and screens
Fellini films? I don't think so.

229
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,598
We need a real outsider as a hero.

230
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,911
A tragic back-story would give him more
to overcome. Maybe he's an orphan.

231
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,275
- Wait...
- Another thought that occurred to me...

232
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,829
...was to <i>Glee</i> this up.
You know, music.

233
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,390
- Originals or covers.
- Okay, stop. What's going on?

234
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:42,313
I thought we were turning this
into an important film.

235
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,234
- Dan, relax, we're just talking.
- About turning my book into <i>Newsies</i>.

236
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,153
<i>Inside</i> is my life.
And thank you so much...

237
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,153
...but I don't need anyone to tell me
how to write it.

238
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,273
A royal wedding is more than
just the most glamorous event...

239
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,159
...on the social calendar,
it is also the most dangerous.

240
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,756
People will try to kidnap you
and break you for the details.

241
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,559
Paparazzi will tap your phones.

242
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,714
I need to know who of you
is going to crack under the pressure.

243
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,791
The contest today will simulate...

244
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,918
...how you'd perform your bridesmaids
duties under extreme duress.

245
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,069
Now fall in line!

246
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,278
Dressing me for my wedding means
attending to my every need...

247
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,638
...no matter how big or small.
Adjust for reception, cinch that train.

248
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,789
Penelope? She has to pee!

249
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,791
- Okay.
- Where's secret wedding location?

250
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,190
- We don't know.
- Who designed Miss Blair's dress?

251
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,112
- We can't tell you!
- Good one, Jessica.

252
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,872
- Now block that baby bump!
- Blocking.

253
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,029
What baby bump?

254
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,990
Let's go, girls. Faster. Who wants it?
You know the rules. You trip, you're out.

255
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,037
You spill, you're out.

256
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,309
Whoa. Oh.

257
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,711
Come on.
Nice work, Charlie. I like what I see.

258
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:02,318
I'm sorry, l...

259
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,953
You sicken me.

260
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,830
- May I help you?
- Yeah. I work for Diana Payne.

261
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,310
She wanted me to hand-deliver
Keith Gessen the new <i>Spectator</i> tablet.

262
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,314
- It'll serve as his invitation for the party.
- Keith doesn't need an invitation...

263
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,232
...since he'll be attending with Diana.

264
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,630
Uh, but I'll gladly take the tablet myself.

265
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,833
Wait, so he's going as her date?

266
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,117
Hello, they've been going out
for two months.

267
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,717
I thought you worked in media.

268
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,758
Hey.

269
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,913
I know this morning was a total disaster,
but nobody blames you.

270
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,110
Whatever Jane sent you here to say,
just say it.

271
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,397
We both think that you should
waive your right to write the script.

272
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,029
Why would I do that?

273
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,078
You write it, your project will be stuck
in development hell.

274
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,038
You'll write a draft,
a year later you'll still be rewriting.

275
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,073
You'll never give them what they want.
You're too close to it.

276
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,879
- That's not even the point.
- Well, it sounds like it was.

277
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
- You're a huge novelist now.
- I don't know about huge.

278
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,558
- I mean, I'm number nine.
- Next week, you'll be number one.

279
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,194
- I'll take two. I'm not greedy.
- Seriously...

280
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,749
...you should be focusing
on your next best-seller.

281
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,435
Let us hire an A-list writer,
like an Akiva Goldsman.

282
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,953
Somebody who Jane can't bully.

283
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,078
Somebody who gets great movies made
and will honor your book.

284
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,231
You think you could get
somebody like him?

285
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,233
Absolutely. Jane works
with Oscar winners all the time.

286
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,311
Can I guarantee
she's not gonna screw up?

287
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:30,549
I won't let her.

288
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,510
She may not know this world, but I do.
And I will protect your story and you.

289
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,269
<i>Careful, S.</i>

290
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,670
- I have your word?
- You have my word.

291
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,515
<i>Everybody knows the road
to hell is paved with good intentions...</i>

292
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,910
<i>... and shady bosses.</i>

293
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,479
- <i>Hello?</i>
- Hey.

294
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,029
There you are.
Why aren't you back here yet?

295
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,998
I got a little hung up
at Keith Gessen's office.

296
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,273
Were you ever gonna tell me
you're bringing him as your date?

297
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,353
Of course. I wanted to say something
this morning, but, um...

298
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,796
You were busy lecturing me on how
you can't mix business with pleasure.

299
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,350
Keith's just business, really.
You are both.

300
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,034
- But no one can know that I am.
- <i>Not right now.</i>

301
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,668
I know you don't understand,
but you need to trust me.

302
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,470
No, you know what I need to do
is rethink this whole relationship.

303
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,192
Get me Charlie Rhodes.

304
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,758
Okay, Dan's off the project.

305
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,717
Take a bow, Serena.

306
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,553
You're a star.
How'd you accomplish it?

307
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,950
I just convinced him
that he and his novel...

308
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,509
...would be better served
by a top-tier screenwriter.

309
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,593
And he will be.
Sorkin's agent called right after you left.

310
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,830
- Heh, Aaron Sorkin?
- Is adapting <i>Inside</i>.

311
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,996
Oh, my Go... What?

312
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,436
That's incredible.
How did you get that to happen so fast?

313
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,160
I had Sorkin lined up for a week.

314
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,595
His agent and I were just waiting.

315
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,835
For me to convince Dan to quit?

316
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,831
So this explains your
<i>Inside: The Musical</i> pitch.

317
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,958
Come on, I always knew
that Dan wasn't going to work out.

318
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,718
I just gave him a little nudge.

319
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,189
Be happy, Sorkin is a good thing.

320
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,516
I just wish we could have spared
everyone the drama this morning.

321
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:20,715
Are you kidding?

322
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,350
Dan coming in this morning did more
for this project than you'll ever know.

323
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,272
- Why?
- Because we got to see...

324
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,158
...what this movie should really be.

325
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,599
A self-important teenager who betrays
his friends for fame and fortune.

326
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,231
<i>Inside</i> will be the next <i>Social Network</i>.
We're gonna Zuckerberg him.

327
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,792
Jane, this isn't fair.

328
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,428
I prefer to let the audience decide
what's fair or not.

329
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,113
Dan is not like that.

330
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,078
Why don't I put a dinner on the books
for us? You'll see.

331
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,390
The next time I see Dan
will be at Cannes...

332
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,916
...when I'm shaking his grateful hand
on the dais.

333
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,789
I have a call to make.

334
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,076
See you at the party tonight?

335
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,239
Congratulations, girls.

336
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,075
You've survived the most physically and
mentally challenging day of your lives.

337
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,118
And all you have to show for it
are a few bruises.

338
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,271
Now, for the final round...

339
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,238
...you will be accompanying
me and my prince...

340
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,960
...to the fabulous <i>Spectator</i> launch party
tonight.

341
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,789
We're going to play a game
with one of the guests.

342
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,349
- Well, who's the target?
- A boy, of course.

343
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,272
- I'm listening.
- At the wedding...

344
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,830
...you'll be the apple
of every bachelor's eye.

345
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,275
So I need to know
who is going to bag a baron...

346
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,112
...and who's going to embarrass me.

347
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,999
- With a busboy?
- Exactly.

348
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,994
So tonight,
whoever's the first to get a kiss...

349
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,628
...from one of New York's
most eligible bachelors...

350
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,876
...wins the right to call herself
my royal bridesmaid.

351
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,270
So tell us, who is it?

352
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:54,158
Dorota, will you do the honors?

353
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,517
Nate Archibald.

354
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,113
I am so all over this.

355
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,276
- Yes. Oh, my God.
- Yes.

356
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,919
This is the best day of my life.

357
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,230
- Hello?
- Why is Nate calling me...

358
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,072
...from Keith Gessen's office?

359
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,153
<i>I asked you to make a few simple
deliveries for a few specific people...</i>

360
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:18,351
- ...and you botched it.
- <i>I know.</i>

361
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,232
I'm so sorry...

362
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,358
...but Blair's having a competition
to pick her bridesmaids.

363
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,752
And if I win, I can cover
the royal wedding for <i>The Spectator</i>.

364
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,918
Then you better win, for your sake.

365
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,277
I just have one more task to complete.

366
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,920
- Hey.
- Hey. Are you free tonight?

367
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,470
Jane was hoping you would be my guest
to the <i>Spectator</i> party.

368
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,871
Let me guess, Jane loves me again
now that I quit the movie.

369
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,470
I think she just wants
to get to know you better. The real you.

370
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,312
<i>So be super nice, okay?</i>

371
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,199
Heh, I'm always nice.
Yeah, I'll see you tonight.

372
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:00,716
<i>Spotted:
S trying to navigate a slippery slope.</i>

373
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,156
<i>But she's not the only accident
waiting to happen.</i>

374
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,714
Hey, did you get my text?

375
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,156
Oh, I turned my phone off, actually.

376
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,993
- Are you okay?
- I'm, uh...

377
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,639
- I'm good.
- He says, teeth clenched.

378
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:23,190
Come on, let me help.

379
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,630
I'm really good
with other people's problems.

380
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,640
Not so much my own. But...

381
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,598
Well, there's this... There's this girl.

382
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,559
And I asked her to be my date
to the party tonight.

383
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,439
- And she said no?
- Which was fine...

384
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,634
...until I find out that
she's bringing another guy.

385
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,360
Do you think that she's trying
to let you down easy?

386
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,475
Easy's not her style. No.

387
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,636
Well, then she's trying
to make you jealous.

388
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,597
Trust me, Nate, we're all the same.

389
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,478
Okay, so, what do I do?

390
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,074
Fight fire with fire.

391
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,351
Take me as your date.

392
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,515
Well, no, I wouldn't wanna, uh,
ruin your night.

393
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,159
You won't.

394
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,550
Pick me up at 6.

395
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,992
Oh, heh, you're getting excited,
aren't you?

396
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,277
- You're getting excited. Come on.
- Dr. Barnes.

397
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,432
You shouldn't be here.

398
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,234
And I wouldn't be
if you answered any of my calls.

399
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,913
I told you I'm done.

400
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,640
I can't be responsible
for destroying a young man...

401
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,035
...who's doing everything he can
to heal himself.

402
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,878
And what about our deal?

403
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,474
As much as it would have helped,
here's your refund.

404
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,109
<i>At the tone,
please record your message.</i>

405
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,476
Dr. Barnes, it's Chuck.

406
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,358
I think I'm in trouble.

407
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,113
Can you meet me tonight?

408
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,396
<i>When you
drive Chuck over the edge...</i>

409
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,438
<i>... it's you who will wind up roadkill.</i>

410
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,589
- So how was your day?
- Hmm, just what I needed.

411
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,279
Old habits die hard.

412
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,714
Hello.

413
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,871
If they die at all.

414
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,752
What are they doing here?

415
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,990
I thought we agreed
we'd be done by tonight.

416
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,559
And I will be, my dear.

417
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,029
The girls have one more tiny thing
to take care of.

418
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,515
You won't even notice they're here.

419
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,556
- Hi. How are you?
- Hi.

420
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,596
- Where's Nate?
- Heh, where's Charlie?

421
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,508
Game on.

422
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,069
You look amazing.

423
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,757
I wanna offer my sincerest
congratulations. Chuck Bass.

424
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,751
Diana Payne. So nice to meet you.

425
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,871
I've heard a lot about you
and let me just say...

426
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,553
...the best of it does you no justice.

427
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,393
- Oh, heh.
- I'm sorry, have we met before?

428
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,993
Not that I can recall.

429
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,040
Heh, It's funny, just looking at you now,
I could've sworn...

430
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,519
I think I'd remember.

431
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,874
Enjoy the party.

432
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,515
- Chuck.
- Your Highness, always a pleasure.

433
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,352
Give it a rest, Bass.

434
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,273
I'm sorry, my friend's here.

435
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,112
- Dan.
- Jane, hey.

436
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,271
Thank you for inviting me.
I appreciate it.

437
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,990
Of course.
I'm just so happy you could make it.

438
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,798
Serena, look, I found Dan.

439
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,679
Did you already tell him
we got Sorkin to write the movie?

440
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,199
What? No. That's incredible.

441
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:50,557
I know. Now your character will talk
even faster than you do.

442
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,518
You mind if I call my agent and tell her?
I'll be right back.

443
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,389
Don't think
I don't know what you're doing.

444
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,996
You can't guilt-trip me into changing
my mind about the lead character.

445
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,630
I just wanted you
to get to know the real Dan.

446
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,916
He's genuine and caring and funny...

447
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,038
The Zuckerberg version
is the better story.

448
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,189
The better movie.

449
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,956
I gave Dan my word
that I would protect him.

450
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:17,156
He's one of my best friends.

451
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,038
Please, don't do this to him.

452
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,318
It's already done.

453
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,038
And you know what?

454
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,034
I'm taking you off this project,
effective immediately.

455
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,952
Like Dan, you're just too close to it.

456
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,475
Nate, these offices are so big.

457
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,029
- You have to show me yours.
- I'd love to. Yeah, we got a lot...

458
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,237
Ah, there you are. Heh.
I was waiting for you at the bar.

459
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,358
Well, you'll have to keep waiting.
Heh, Nate just promised me a tour.

460
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,351
Oh, of the office? I'll come with.

461
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,876
No, I wanna see your <i>Spectator</i>,
not hers. Sorry, Charlie.

462
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,715
Is that a...?

463
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:54,749
Oh, my...!

464
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,350
Serena, you came after all.
I'm delighted.

465
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,317
So, what do you think
of <i>The Spectator?</i>

466
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,358
- Everyone seems to be having fun.
- Except for you.

467
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,589
Well, heh...

468
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,797
What? I can't help but pry.
Of course, you don't have to tell me.

469
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,077
I just got myself into a situation...

470
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,555
...that's gonna hurt somebody
I really care about.

471
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,917
I thought I could fix it tonight,
but I can't.

472
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,469
Maybe I can.
I'm quite the problem solver.

473
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,959
I don't think you wanna know.

474
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:32,998
- It involves a friend of yours.
- Jane?

475
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,272
Now you have to tell me.

476
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,155
It's about the book option
I got for her.

477
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,912
I need to kill the project.

478
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,957
Give me two seconds and it'll vanish.

479
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:47,429
Thank you,
but I'll figure it out on my own.

480
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,790
You just said you couldn't.

481
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,071
Jane and I have history.

482
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,390
She doesn't always like
to be reminded of it...

483
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,312
...and it's been a while since I did.

484
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,232
What kind of history?

485
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,119
Some things are best
left to the imagination.

486
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,352
So how bad do you want
your problem to go away?

487
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,075
- Jane?
- Yes?

488
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,832
A word.

489
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,191
Oh, just kiss him and win already.

490
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:20,876
Anybody with eyes can see
Nate has a huge crush on you. I give up.

491
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,794
I would, but I'm starting to feel
like I'm not Nate's type.

492
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,316
Hello, Nate doesn't have a type.
He's like Derek Jeter.

493
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,595
Well, when he saw you...

494
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,320
...he said that you were the hottest girl
at Constance.

495
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,197
Nate said that?

496
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,631
Oh, my God, what else did Nate say?

497
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,473
Something about how
you were the only girl at Constance...

498
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,359
...he wished that he had hooked up with
but never did.

499
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,716
Until now.

500
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,950
I love what you've done with the place.
Very 2.0.

501
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:51,588
- Thanks, man, I appreciate that. We just...
- Let's do this.

502
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,749
Whoa!

503
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,753
Penelope, what did I tell you
about consorting with the help?

504
00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,755
You're dismissed.

505
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,158
What? It's not my fault she tripped.

506
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,270
- Uh, you leaving already?
- I'm sorry, I have to go.

507
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,431
I was hoping we could talk
about the movie.

508
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,712
It's dead. If you want to know why,
talk to your friend Serena.

509
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,629
I know the night's young
and the bar's still open...

510
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,553
...but I wanted to thank everybody
for coming.

511
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,914
It means so much to me...

512
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,277
...to know that if a bomb went off this
second, New York media would be over.

513
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:48,032
- Hey, thanks for being my date.
- Of course.

514
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,272
I just hope we were able to make
whoever you're seeing jealous.

515
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,516
I don't know,
I don't even think she cared.

516
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,910
Let's make her care.

517
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,551
- I'm game if you are.
- Yeah?

518
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,552
We are going to be different from
Gossip Girl and other anonymous sites...

519
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,474
...which traffic in damaging rumors
and innuendo.

520
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,633
Ugh, I'm sorry. Where was I?

521
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:16,829
Um, <i>The Spectator</i> is only going
to print facts.

522
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,589
If you did it,
you deserve to get caught.

523
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,352
And we're gonna catch you.

524
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,273
So with apologies
to my other esteemed editors...

525
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,077
...starting tonight, I'm gonna
be poaching your best reporters...

526
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,629
...and stealing all your best stories.

527
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,233
I have a story for you.

528
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,472
So let's hear it, Mr. Bass.

529
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,189
My therapist, Dr. Eliza Barnes,
has been using hypnosis...

530
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,591
...to coerce me into performing
unspeakable acts.

531
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:48,157
I am Dr. Barnes and I promise you
that none of this is true.

532
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,399
It's okay, Chuck.

533
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,590
You're in a very vulnerable
psychological state right now.

534
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,829
I wonder why.

535
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,878
Maybe because I just found out...

536
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:04,637
...you were taking money to reveal
confidential information about me.

537
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,509
Now that's a story I can print
if you have proof.

538
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,716
Uh, Chuck, stop.

539
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,632
Why are you doing this?

540
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,631
If you don't believe me...

541
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,915
...you should ask your fianc�.

542
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,479
He's the one who paid her.

543
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,677
<i>Don't worry, B,
you're still marrying a prince...</i>

544
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,275
<i>... of fools.</i>

545
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,189
Blair, wait.

546
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,032
Please,
I know how upset you must be.

547
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,869
After all this arguing about scheming,
what you've been doing is even worse.

548
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,069
But I can explain.

549
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,231
What possible explanation
could you have...

550
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,556
...for paying Chuck's therapist
to spy on him?

551
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,752
I found the paternity test.

552
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,832
The one that you'd torn to pieces.

553
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:49,749
Oh, my God.

554
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,957
You didn't tell me
you weren't sure who the father was.

555
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,394
Well, ugh...

556
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,313
- I had to get the test.
- So you could decide who to be with?

557
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,268
No. So we both could have
peace of mind...

558
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,637
...knowing that what I prayed for
in my heart was true.

559
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,115
The paternity test showed me...

560
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,068
...that some part of you thought
you might still have a choice to make.

561
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,074
And I needed you to see that
Chuck will always be the wrong one.

562
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,398
Louis...

563
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,757
...I don't know how many more times
I can say this.

564
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,755
But Chuck and I can never work.

565
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,033
You know that for certain?

566
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,673
I do.

567
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,473
So does he.

568
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,596
And so should you.

569
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,796
Chuck destroys everything
and everybody in his life...

570
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,951
...and he'll never change.

571
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,990
But what's scaring me is that...

572
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,360
...you're changing into him.

573
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,596
Did you just kill my movie?

574
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,832
Only because I had no other choice.
But I did it for you.

575
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,150
- For me? Are you kidding?
- Listen, please...

576
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,914
Tell me one thing.
Was this your plan from the beginning?

577
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,594
- Heh, what?
- You hate your character so much...

578
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,149
...you couldn't stand
to see this made into a movie.

579
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,029
Millions of people mightjudge you,
and we all know how much you like that.

580
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,270
For the record,
having the project killed...

581
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,750
...had nothing to do with my image
and everything to do with yours.

582
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,831
Jane was gonna do
a hatchetjob on you.

583
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,072
And now I'm gonna get fired
for stopping her.

584
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,076
- That was fun.
- More fun than you expected?

585
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,232
A lot more. Maybe we should stage
another make-out session later.

586
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,197
- You know, just for us.
- Heh.

587
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,870
Congratulations.
Looks like you won Blair's contest.

588
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,998
- Wait, what? What is she talking about?
- Oh, didn't you know?

589
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,469
This was all a game.

590
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,632
Charlie kissed you so she could be
one of Blair's bridesmaids.

591
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,358
For <i>The Spectator,</i> of course.

592
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,438
Oh, guess she left that part out.

593
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,313
Nate, I'm sorry.

594
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,630
Oh, don't fret, Charlie.

595
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,430
I'm sure Nate wasn't completely honest
with you either. Were you, honey?

596
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,548
Right, then.
I'd better get back to my real date.

597
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,112
Keep up the good work, Charlie.

598
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,799
Cheers.

599
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,948
- What, so you used me to get a story?
- The girl you're seeing is our boss?

600
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,356
Well, if it isn't the good doctor.

601
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,957
I thought you should know
I'm gonna shut down my practice.

602
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,638
Why? I know people say
therapy's a waste of time...

603
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,360
...but you did wonders
with my trust issues.

604
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,910
I understand you're angry.
I don't expect you to ever forgive me.

605
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,832
I just thought you should know...

606
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,355
...Louis wasn't paying me
for information alone.

607
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,590
He wanted me to drive you into a rage.

608
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,275
To turn you into this monster
you apparently used to be.

609
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,989
Louis is so threatened by you
that he wanted to remind Blair...

610
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,559
Why she chose him.

611
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,518
- Maybe Louis is right.
- He doesn't have to be.

612
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,439
You can change.

613
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,269
Remember this morning
when I asked you about Blair?

614
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,274
I was trying to provoke you,
but you chose something else.

615
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,874
Something better.

616
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:21,952
You chose to let go.

617
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,238
Continue down that road
and I bet you'll find some peace.

618
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,635
I've always wondered
what that felt like.

619
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,313
Good luck.

620
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,438
And I'm sorry.

621
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:37,794
I really did want to help.

622
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,148
<i>Spotted:
Chuck Bass standing at the crossroads.</i>

623
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,237
<i>Looks like we're gonna have to watch
his every step.</i>

624
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,593
Serena.

625
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,594
Word on the street is
you're back on the job market.

626
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,150
- You don't waste any time, do you?
- Not when I know what I want.

627
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,233
There must be some way I can convince
you to write a blog for <i>The Spectator</i>.

628
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,552
Not if it's about the Upper East Side
or anyone who lives there, including me.

629
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:14,633
I'm sorry.
I know that I owe you a favor...

630
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,237
...but I don't wanna be
the next Gossip Girl.

631
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,279
I don't believe in attacking people online
and spreading rumors.

632
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,228
Neither do I. Which is why
I wanna take Gossip Girl down.

633
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,549
How?

634
00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:29,312
Everyone reads her.

635
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,710
And whether they admit it or not,
everyone posts.

636
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,279
This city is addicted to her.

637
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,556
Only because she writes about
people like you.

638
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:38,117
Think about it.

639
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,717
If you and your friends are the main
reason people care about Gossip Girl...

640
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,359
...and starting tomorrow...

641
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,353
...everyone can read about you
straight from the source...

642
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,910
...that would make Gossip Girl
irrelevant, wouldn't it?

643
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,308
I don't know.

644
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,550
Yes, you do.

645
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:57,951
Serena, this is a chance
to have your own voice...

646
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,591
...to stop the lies and to finally control
your own image.

647
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,797
Aren't you tired of swimming
in Gossip Girl's fish bowl?

648
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,791
Well, I'd have to do it my own way.

649
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,791
I'd expect nothing less.

650
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,110
Come by tomorrow
and we'll brainstorm together.

651
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,872
Okay.

652
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,157
- Heh, good night.
- Good night.

653
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:28,800
No more games, no more secrets.

654
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,475
Either we're in this for the world to see,
or we end this right here.

655
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,910
Somebody here to apologize.

656
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,959
I can't say I wanna hear it right now,
but tell Louis I'll see him upstairs.

657
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,348
It's not Louis.

658
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,189
What are you doing here?
I don't have the energy...

659
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,158
...to rehash tonight's hysterics.
I think you should leave.

660
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,118
I'm not here to apologize
about what happened tonight.

661
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,355
Then what are you here
to apologize for?

662
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,397
Everything else.

663
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:14,552
I'm sorry for losing my temper the night
you told me Louis proposed to you.

664
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,151
I'm sorry for not waiting longer
at the Empire State Building.

665
00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:24,676
I'm sorry for treating you
like property.

666
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,637
I'm sorry...

667
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,113
...I didn't tell you I loved you
when I knew I did.

668
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,435
But most of all,
I'm sorry that I gave up on us...

669
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,072
...when you never did.

670
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,149
Thank you.

671
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,878
I hope never giving up on people
isn't gonna be my downfall.

672
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,110
It's why you're going to be
an amazing mother.

673
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:05,154
You're always there
for the people you love...

674
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,197
...even when they don't deserve it.

675
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:11,676
You know that's never gonna change.

676
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,910
It's okay if it has to.

677
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,710
Starting tonight,
I'm going to take care of myself.

678
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,909
Is that all?

679
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,429
Yeah.

680
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,754
<i>They say every road comes to an end...</i>

681
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,754
<i>... but sometimes the end feels
just like the beginning.</i>

682
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,956
<i>Even when you think
you've come a long way...</i>

683
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,317
Dad, what are you still doing here?

684
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:45,795
Hmm.

685
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,756
After I talked to you at the party,
Jonathan Karp called.

686
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,559
He got an advance copy
of next week's best-seller list.

687
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:55,029
I'm not number one.

688
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,189
Did I go up at all?

689
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,194
You dropped off the list. But when
I told him the news about Aaron Sorkin...

690
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,239
...he said a movie deal like that will have
the books flying off the shelves again.

691
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,079
The movie's dead, Dad. It's over.
I'm done.

692
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,399
<i>... you can suddenly find
yourself right back where you started.</i>

693
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,950
<i>Because every journey is fraught
with twists and turns...</i>

694
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,556
You know, Charlie, you're becoming
more trouble than you're worth.

695
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:23,236
I had no idea you were the one
Nate was trying to make jealous.

696
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,472
I just wanted to get the inside scoop
on Blair's wedding.

697
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,873
Well, now you know.
And so does the rest of the world.

698
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,235
Nate's mine.

699
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:44,469
Do I make myself clear?

700
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,035
Good.

701
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,389
I'd hate to have to run a story tomorrow
about a poor girl from Florida...

702
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,869
...who Clark Rockefellered
the Upper East Side.

703
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,959
<i>... and one false step
could spell disaster.</i>

704
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,754
<i>But no matter what...</i>

705
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:10,114
<i>... you still have to stay the course
and forge your own path.</i>

706
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,430
No, Louis, I know you're sorry.

707
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,195
You should go on your trip.
We can talk when you get back.

708
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,078
Promise.

709
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,714
Besides, a few days apart
would be good for us.

710
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,599
<i>Because there's no going back now...</i>

711
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,835
<i>... and it looks like this one's going
to be the ride of our lives.</i>

712
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,950
<i>XOXO, Gossip Girl.</i>
