All language subtitles for Gossip Girl - S01E04 - Bad News Blair

Gossip girl here...
Your one and only source

into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.
(Kati) Oh, my god.

You'll never believe
what's on "gossip girl."
Someone saw Serena getting off
the train at grand central.

I thought everything
was good between us.

It was... before I found out
you had sex with my boyfriend.
I didn't come back for you.

Look, Blair's my best friend,
and you're her boyfriend.

And she loves you.
You'd really go out
with some guy you don't know?

Well, you can't be worse
than the guys I do know.

Well, our kids were bound
to meet. It's a small island.
Are you sure it's not some ploy,

your using my daughter
to get to me

now that your wife left you?
Do you ever feel like

our whole lives have been
planned out for us,

that we're just gonna
end up like our parents?
Man, that's a dark thought.

Your mother and I didn't
work this hard so you can just

make things up as you go along.

(Chuck) It's a facility
for the disturbed or addicted.

The question is,
what do you do now?
I was thinking...
Total social destruction?

And here I thought
you were getting soft.
It's because
of their excellent program

that a student here with us
today is clean and sober...

At least, for now.

She's in rehab?
No, it's not her.
It's her brother who's there.

I know I said some things
about you and your world,

and I'm sorry.

Why did you leave
without saying good-bye?

I didn't know how to be
your friend after what I did.

I'm so sorry.

Spotted in central park...
Two white flags waving.

So what will it be...
Truce or consequences?

And who am I?

That's a secret I'll never tell.

You know you love me.

X.o.x.o., gossip girl.

(Instrumental of Henry Mancini's
"moon river" playing)

♫♫

(Laughs)

Sorry, but you're not
on the list.

Of course I am.
This is my dream!

(In Eleanor's voice)
Not anymore.

(Girl laughs)

(Eleanor) Oh, Serena,
it's so wonderful to see you.

♫♫

(Gossip girl)
Hey, upper east siders.

There's nothing gossip girl
likes more than a surprise,

and we hear Blair Waldorf's
got a 2-for-1 special...

Her mom Eleanor,
who just returned from Paris,

and Serena Van Der Woodsen,
brunch buddies.

Hey! You're up.

Did we have plans?

Darling, it is impolite
to interrupt. (Blows kiss)

I was just telling Serena

that Bendel's is interested
in carrying my line.

Really?

Oh, that's fantastic!
Why didn't you say something?

I came back from Paris early
to put together my lookbook,

and if they like what they see,

it could be the beginning of
an entire lifestyle collection.

Because more people
should be like you, mother.

Before you tuck into that,

you find a low-fat yogurt
more appealing.

♫♫

I lost 2 pounds
when you were away.

And you look marvelous.

Wow, these are beautiful,
Mrs. Waldorf.

Well, they will be

if they're not all squished
from traveling.

Darling, please.

Serena, you have
to come back later

when everything is unpacked.

I would love
to hear your thoughts.

You do have
such great personal style.
Oh, thank you, but I
don't think we'll be able to.

Blair and I have plans today.
(Eleanor) Oh.

We do?
Serena and Blair
might have plans for the day,

but Nate and Chuck are
fully booked for the weekend...

If they survive it.

Found it. Piaget.
Can't you just
call it a watch?

If it costs more than 10 grand,
it earns a proper name.

How about this?
Definitely that.

Babe Ruth's called shot...

The most famous homer
he ever hit.

Hmm. Better safe than sorry.

(Knock on door)

Here we go.

(Rap music playing)

You've lived through Ivy week

and hopefully gained entry
to the college of your choice.

Now let's ruin those chances.

Let me remind you of the rules...
As of this moment,

there is no outside world
that I do not show you.

You eat what I provide,
practice what I preach,

and till I say so,

the only girls you talk to
are the ones I've paid for.

Yeah!
Whoo-hoo!

Let the lost weekend commence!
(Cheering)

(Boys) One, two, three, twins!

♫♫

(Man) ♫ in the Bronx ♫
(Man) ♫ let 'em know
that we don't play ♫

♫ strong island ♫
♫ if you're in the house
tonight ♫

♫♫

Who brought the sasquatch?

Isn't that Carter Baizen?

I haven't seen him

since he was a senior
and we were in the eighth grade.

He looks intense.

Are you high? He looks like
Matthew McConaughey

between movies.

The guy's a loser.

Look, anyone who trades their
trust fund for a Fanny pack

flies in the face of all
that is holy to Chuck bass.

Nate Archibald, is that you?

Baizen, my man!
I heard you went rogue! (Laughs)

And lived to tell about it.
Hey.

Seems like someone's itinerary

didn't leave room
for interlopers.

Doesn't Chuck know

a party isn't a party
until someone crashes?

(Both laugh)

Oh, god. I forgot what
it was like to be with you.

No, they were looking at
both of us.
Don't insult me. It's been
like this all morning,

starting with your lovely visit
with my mother.

She didn't even call me
to tell me she was coming home.
Well, she was busy.

She was rushing to get home
and everything

because she wanted to see you.
She didn't even wake me up.

Well, you know how Eleanor
feels about beauty rest.

She likes you more than me.

She does not.
You are her daughter.

She doesn't like anyone
more than you. She just...

I don't know, doesn't know
how to show it sometimes.

Okay, I'm going inside.
Wait for me.

I'll be right back.

Humphrey! Dan! Hey!

Hey!

(Laughs) Oh, my god, this is
what I love about this city...

You're always
bumping into people.

What are you doing here?
Oh, I'm just on my way
back from my mom's,

dropping Jenny off up in Hudson.

Picked up a couple of Cubans
for me and my dad...

Sandwiches, not cigars.

(Laughs)

Hey, uh, remember you said, uh,
we could get together sometime

and, um, not talk?

I was just wondering,
is it "sometime" yet?

That was disgusting. The d.O.H.
Should shut them down.

The bathroom?

No, the people. It's called
nolita, not noshowers.

What are you doing here?

Do I smell pork? And cheese?

Okay, well, when you're done
with your charity work,

why don't you come find me?

I'll be at Tory burch
looking at ponchos.

Isn't that the girl
that told the entire school...

And, oh, several colleges...
That you had a drug problem?

Yeah.

(Chuckles) But, you know,
Blair can be a little...

Blair.

Yeah, yeah.

(Laughs) We're actually
trying to work things out.

Today's our first day
hanging out together alone.

Ooh.
Ooh! (Laughs)

So I should probably get back.

Yeah. Yeah, sure. That's...
Yeah.

But, um, call me sometime
so we can get together

and do that thing
you didn't ask me to do.

(Eve and swizz beatz'
"tambourine" playing)

(Swizz beatz)
♫ shake ya tambourine ♫

♫ go and get yourself
a-whistlin' ♫

(Nate) So I don't understand.

The last time I saw your sister,

she said your family
had locked you out

and you'd fallen off
the face of the earth.
I didn't. I just fell off
the face of theirs.

But once you turn away
from money you see it doesn't

buy you freedom,
it pays for your prison.

They say I disappeared,
but all I did was break out.
Where'd you go?

Where didn't I? I aided
the cleanup post-Katrina,

spent a year
rebuilding machu picchu...

Which, let me tell you,
it's changed my life.

I bought an h.D. Cam and started
filming it for a documentary...
You're the guy
who gave us our first joint,

snuck us into our first club,
and you're gonna tell me

the life of YouTube filmmaker
is better than this?

You invented the lost weekend.
Hey, who cares about a party
when you can travel the world?

(Groans)
Exactly. In the real world,
the only thing that matters

is who you are,
not what you own.

As much as I love the speech

about not needing
material things

from a guy who has
that much product in his hair,

this party is about excess,
not exposition.

Stop talking.

Start partying.

Now here is something
that doesn't need material.

As a matter of fact,
it's about to come off.

Who's with me?

I think I'm just gonna
hang here for a bit.

Fine.

I'd hate to break up
a matched set anyway.

♫ Go and get yourself
a-whistlin' ♫

♫ shake ya tambourine ♫

How about we continue this
over some cards?

None of this crap
these kids are playing.

Texas hold'em is dead.
(Laughs)

You know, I'll show you
some real action.

You know what?

I'm in this weekly game
in this, uh, corner in queens.

It goes all night.

It's the real deal...
High stakes, big money,

people with the kind of stories
that would put mine to shame.

You should... you should come.

Yeah.
Yeah?

(Eleanor) This one missed
her cue at the Chloé show

because she was
throwing up a pear.
(Woman) Ugh.

She was in
Vera's "vogue" spread.

I don't use Vera's models.
None of these are right.
Well, that's because

you're looking at
the high fashion book

when you should be
looking for a new face...

You know, someone who
looks good in your clothes.

Someone in this book,
like I told you.
I hate the American apparel
effect.

But they're closer
to what you need.

They're... they're now,
they're hip.

If this person is supposed
to represent Waldorf designs,

you have to find me someone...

Worthy of the clothes.
Yeah.

Someone like me.
Mm.

Someone like...

My daughter.

Well, why not her?

You want your line to represent
the Waldorf lifestyle.

Who better to represent you
than one of your own family?
She was my first dress form.

She'd love to!

I would?

Eleanor?

Yes.

(Squeals)
(Eleanor) It's perfect.

Eleanor Waldorf,

meet the new face
of Waldorf for Bendel's.

Yay! (Laughs)

Is that a smile we see
on b.'S lips?

The spotlight's on her for once,

and s. Actually
helped her get it.

I guess miracles can happen.

Oh, shut up.
They're amazing.
I'm just
doing my mom a favor.

The hair and makeup test
is tonight.

I think this is my best pose.
(Isabel) That's because you
can't see what you look like.

You're just a hand model,
and that's it.

The right way is this.
Mnh-mnh, mnh-mnh. Girls, no.

This is how you do it.
No, no, no.

Gotta curve
your spine forward, elongate.
Oh, no. You guys
are doing it all wrong.

Look,
you're missing the key.
Show us.

Look, look, look. You gotta
put the hand on the hip and pop.

That's how you gotta do it.
(All laughing)

Pop. Pop. No, like this.
(Cell phone rings)

Hello?
Uh-huh, who's this? Oh!
Who'd dare interrupt

the Van Der Woodsen
as she teaches?
Blair!

I said, "who?"

Give me my phone!
Dan Humphrey.

Who is it?
I'm sorry. The number you've
dialed is no longer in service.

Stop it! (Laughs) Who is it?
I'm doing you a favor.

Look, I can hear you. Can I
just please talk to Serena?

Apparently,
you can, cabbage patch.

Come on. Let me have it.
(Blair) God.

Hello? Dan! Hey.
I'm so, so sorry about that.

And I'm so, so ready to hang up.

Blair was just playing. You have
my full attention, I promise.

Good, 'cause I was calling

to ask you to not talk
with me at a movie tonight.

Tonight? Where? What time?

The sunshine, 7:00.

I'd love to.

Uh, I'll see you there.

See you there.

♫♫

It's complicated, isn't it?

I can't stop staring at it.
It's difficult work.

I mean that in the best way.

It's enigmatic.

♫♫

It reminds me of
an early bacon or schnabel.

The artist is in Hudson.

I've represented her
for some... time.

Rufus.

Bex Simon.

I've heard a lot
about your gallery.

I wasn't expecting a piece like
this from a former rock star.

(Chuckles) I prefer
"one-hit wonder."

(Laughs)

What turned you gallerist?

I've always had
artistic pursuits.

We have something in common.
I always pursue artists.

I've been in Brooklyn all day
looking for work for a client.

I'm a buyer.

I didn't think
I'd find a piece like this,

and I don't think
it'll be here long.

I'd to put it on hold.
May I?
Yeah, of course.

What time do you close?
I'll stay open.

Good.

(Camera shutter snaps)

Thank you.

♫♫

(Woman) ♫ it feels good, right?

♫ Come on, show 'em how
we do it, yeah, come on ♫

♫♫

What is Carter still doing here?

I invited him.

Or he invited himself?
That is his style.

Begging us to break free
of our prisons while

stuffing his face with free food
and draining our booze.

He's a deadbeat and a hypocrite.

And a good ballplayer,
if I remember right.

You sure you just don't wanna
lose to him there, Chuck?

Maybe if your daddy
bought you a basketball team

instead of a hotel,
you'd have some skill.
Look, this is
the lost weekend for juniors,

not senior citizens.
Go jump into a volcano.

Let's just settle it
on the court.
Let's settle it right now.

Hey, chill out.
No, this is my game.
I pick the players.

I get it. I'll go.

Hey. Hey, man.

Is that card game tonight?

Yeah.
Hey, text me
the address later.

I will.

You didn't have
to do that, man.
Nobody wanted him here.

He's an older brother
bringing everyone down.

Let's just play some ball.

♫♫

(Man) Okay, Blair, relax.
Chin down.

Hold it there and...

Okay, you ready?

(Camera shutter snaps)
Okay, one more.

This time, let's exhale.
Jump around, loosen up.

Now really loosen up
on this one.

Let's relax into it. Now give me
the biggest pose you've got.

That's it. Come on, big!
Let's think big, big, big.

One, two, three!
(Camera shutter snaps)

Okay, take a break.
Thank you very much.

Who chose this girl?

Eleanor. Why?

She's so prim and stiff,
like a bookcase. It's unnatural.

Yeah, but she looks stunning
in the clothes, don't you agree?
Mm-hmm, to my eye,
like a goddess.

To this eye? Bleh.
(Whispers) Like a statue.

This is retail.
It's not editorial.

She needs to let go,
have fun, loosen up.

How's the client
going to like the dress

if the model
doesn't even like herself?

♫♫

(Whispers indistinctly)
(Whispers indistinctly)

Hey!

First of all, you look amazing!

I know.
(Laughs) But look,
can I give you a little tip?

How did I know
this was coming?
No, no, look,
all you need to do

is maybe you could, uh,
loosen up a little, you know?

(Blows raspberry)
Shake it out.

Um, maybe you could be goofy,
like when we were 10

and we would dance around
to "genie in a bottle"

in your mom's clothes.
Help me. Help me.

Um, okay. Uh...

Act like a tiger, okay?
Come on. Rawr!

Rawr.
No, no, you gotta roar.
Rawr!

Rawr!
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Give me
more tiger! Give me more tiger!

You're in that jungle.
Rawr!

You're a savage! Now let's do
a prettier one this time, okay?

You're Venus
in the half shell, right?

So just look up...
(Gasps) Ooh.
Oh!

(Serena and Blair laugh)

Let's do something crazy
like Britney with the umbrella.

Okay, Britney
with the umbrella. Go!
Rawr! Aah!

At the car! At the car! Ooh!
(Shrieking)

(Screaming)
(Laughing)

Posh spice in America.
Ready? Go!

That's "cyborg spice" to you.
(Imitates robotic whirring)

(Imitates siren wailing)
Okay, you gotta pout more
and strike.

Remember, I taught you the hand
on the hip. Strike it and pop.

Come on, give me more,
give me more, you sexy beast.

Oh, it looks so good! You're
doing so good! You got it!
(Cell phone rings)

Look how good you are.
Pout, pout, pout.
What are you doing?

(Ring)
Oh, shoot.
I gotta go meet Dan.

No, you're staying here.
I need you.

I can't let my mother down.

♫♫

(Cell phone rings)

Hey, you almost here?

Hey, I'm really, really, sorry,

but I'm kind of stuck
at this photo shoot with Blair.

It's a long story,

but I don't think
I'm gonna be able to make it.
Oh, a photo shoot, huh?

It sounds really superficial,
I know.

But it's important to her

and, you know,
she's important to me.

But I'll make it up to you,
though, I promise.
No, it's no big deal, really.
Don't worry about it.

You're the best.
I knew you'd understand.

I'll call you later.
Yeah, yeah.

(Shuts cell phone)

(Beep)

(Man) How many?

Uh...

None.

You're still here.

Yeah, I told you I'd wait.

Mm, a man who keeps his word.
I like it.

You get a chance
to talk to your client?

I'm back, aren't I?
Write me up an invoice.

Really?

That's great.
Well,
you're awfully excited.

This isn't your first time,
is it?

Selling a painting.

(Chuckles) Few firsts
are left for me.

But the artist
will be very pleased.

She's... been doing
other things for a while.

It's kind of a big deal for her.

Well, for my client, too.
This is a very special piece.

You wouldn't want to...

I don't know...
Celebrate with a drink?

Um...

Actually, the previously
mentioned excited artist

is my wife.

I thought you said the artist
lived in Hudson. Long commute.

She lives there. I don't.

Mm.

If the trains ever
stop running...

♫♫

(Man) ♫ a'ight, yo ♫

♫ when I wake up, morning,
yawning, I put up my hands ♫

♫ thank the lord for what I got
and never stop my plans ♫

Phase three... pub crawl.
Five boroughs.

50 pubs...
500 chances to get laid.

And remember,
don't dip your shillelagh...

(Imitates Irish accent)
In the wrong pot of gold.

(Normal voice) Let's go.

You can think about
your boyfriend inside.

I'm not coming.

(Sighs) Seriously,
Carter Baizen sucks.

All right, I don't know
what spell he's put you under,

but he's not your friend.
He can't be trusted.
And why is that?

'Cause he doesn't believe
what you believe in?

It's exactly what he said...

The money, the drugs,
the privileges.

They're just keeping us numb
so we don't know

it's... it's better out there
in the real world.

The real world? Everyone
out there wants to be us.

We are what you aspire to,
not run away from.

You really don't get me, do you?

That dream of yours,
you know, what is it, really?

'Cause I hear you talk

about how you don't want
to go to dartmouth

and how you don't want to follow
in your father's footsteps,

but what exactly do you want?

All I know is it's not this.

Well, you better discover
what "it" is

before you throw everything away
trying to find it.

And where are you going?

♫♫

(Beep)

♫♫

How was the movie?

Uh, missable...
Literally.

(Sighs) I-I don't know
about Serena, dad.

I-I can't tell
if she's worth it.

What do you mean?

Well, uh, she's best friends
with this girl... Blair Waldorf...

Who is basically everything
I hate about the Upper East Side

distilled into one 95-pound,
Doe-eyed, bon mot tossing,

label-whoring
package of girlie evil.

(Laughs) No one's that bad.
She is.

I would barely be exaggerating
if I told you

medusa wants
her withering glare back.

Well, if there's anything
I've learned

it's that usually there's
something beneath the surface

with people like that to
make them act the way they do.
Like what...

The o.J. In her mimosa was from
concentrate, not fresh-squeezed?

And... and what does this say
about Serena,

that this is her best friend?

I dated
a girl like Serena once...

Actually, a lot like Serena.

And girls like that
are challenging. It's true.

They're complicated and...

Enigmatic...

And usually worth it.

And the only way
you'll know for sure

is to jump in with both feet.
What happened with you?

I swam for a while...

Till I drowned.

Oh. Well, that... thanks.
That's a great story, dad.

Now get some sleep,

and I will see you
in the morning.

We'll go
to the photo shoot together.

You haven't done this
since I was little.

You haven't been in bed by 10:00
since you were little.

You looked beautiful tonight,
you know?

Really?

(Cell phone rings, vibrates)

(Muffled) Hello?

How was the movie?

Did I miss something amazing?

Mm. Well... well, uh,
even without the movie.

Don't be cocky. I'm calling you
with a makeup plan.

Oh, are you now?
I am.

How would you like to see
what really happens

at a fashion shoot?
I'm sorry. This is...
This is Dan Humphrey.

Are you sure you're not
trying to reach my sister?

Look, I know it's a girlie
offer, but chew on this...

I'll be there.
Can I bet on that?

Because law of averages
says I lose my shirt.

Oh, come on.
It's Blair's shoot,

so I have to be there
for moral support.
Blair? Well,
I'm definitely not going now.

Look, she's really
not as bad as you think.

Besides, she's gonna be
so busy with the shoot

that you won't even
have to see her,

and since it's so boring
on the sidelines,

you'll have my full attention.

Okay, what if I buy you anything
you want from craft service?

I thought craft service
was free.
I'll see you in the morning
at 8:00.

I'm texting you the address.

I'm hanging up
before thou dost protest again.

(Shuts cell phone)

Both feet, Humphrey.

(Elevator bell dings)
What's the emergency apart
from my not getting my sleep

before the big day, Laurel,

and why couldn't we simply have
discussed it over the phone?

Because if we didn't
meet in person,

I couldn't show you these.
I don't think this girl is
what you're trying to say...

Unapproachable,
controlled, perfect.

She is not unapproachable.
She is poised. She's regal.

Look, I know
she's your daughter,

and I don't want
to make problems...
Mm-hmm.

But your girl
is rigid like a twig.

You know,
she's afraid to let you in,

so your works of art and she

fail to achieve...

What's the word?

Symbiosis.

Oh. What can be done
at this stage?

Your daughter is beautiful, yes,
but this girl...

This girl has it.

She is warm like sunshine.
She has fun.

She will make the clients think
if they buy these clothes,

then they will have fun, too.
But this is your line,
Eleanor.

It's completely your choice.

Are similar to those
of a patient presurgery...

No food or drink 12 hours prior,

wear comfortable clothing

and make sure your affairs
are in order.

You never know what could
go wrong in a flash.

(Serena) Hey, b.

You must either be sleeping
or already on your way.

But I can't wait
to see you at the shoot.

We're gonna have so much fun!

Oh, thank god you're awake.

Am I late?

Oh, my god. Oh, my god.
Did I oversleep?

Darling, I have some bad news.

Terry, that fool
of a photographer,

thinks we need to go
in a different direction.
With the theme?

With the model.

Oh.

Darling, I hired these people
for their expertise,

and ultimately,
they feel that...

We would be doing the brand
a disservice.

I-I cannot apologize enough.

I know that you were really
looking forward to this.

No, I wasn't. I'm... I'm glad
I don't have to go.

I hate shoots.
They're so boring.

You should have
Alessandra ambrosio,

not an amateur.

We'll have dinner after, yes?

Steak frites and crepes
at café des artistes,

just like old times.
I will see you later.

(Makes kissing sounds)

(Elevator bell dings)

Hey, s., all right,
I hope you're not already there,

because as it turns out,
my modeling career's over

faster than
Jessica Simpson's acting one.

Now that I think about it,

maybe we should crash
the shoot anyway

and see who
they replace me with,

make fun of the skinny bitch?

(Lily) How could you?

Actually, I like this here.

This is no joke, Humphrey.

What are you doing with that?

The question is, what are you
doing selling it to me?

You... you're bex's client.

Oh, and you didn't know.

I'm just surprised
you hired someone with taste.

Oh, well,
I am equally as shocked,

because when she said she found
something amazing in Brooklyn,

your gallery
never entered my mind.
You'd have to actually recognize
art to remember the place.

What I recognize is the fact

that your wife would not want
this hanging in my house.

Alison's a professional artist.

She doesn't do background checks
on prospective buyers,

and neither do I. Besides,
it's been almost 20 years.

And you still
don't know women.
And you still know it all.

Your wife despises me.

I wouldn't say that.

Well, she did.

I mean, she may have been
wearing a slip dress

and doc martens at the time,
but she definitely meant it.

She's not like you. She doesn't
hold on to that stuff.

Why don't you call and ask her?

Or are you still giving her
her space?

Because trust me,
putting this up in my house,

even having this conversation
with you,

will only drive her
further away.

Well, what do you
want me to do then?

Take it back.

You can call bex
and set up a refund.

So what'd you think of it?

I thought...

It was extraordinary.

(Whistles)

(Cell phone beeping)

(Cell phone beeping)

(Cell phone beeps)

(Under breath)
Hey, no phones.

Oh, right. Sorry, man.

How much you up?

$5,000.

That's insane, amigo.
I should probably quit
while I'm ahead, huh?

What? We just started.
Well, I've had a good run.

Plus, it's better to leave
while you're up.
I'm not... I'm not gonna
let you do that, bro.

The table's
about to get smaller.

People are gonna start
showing their real stuff.

Up until now
it's been cards, but...

From now on, it's an adventure.

Just a couple more hands.
All right, gents, ante up.

Okay.

Let's hit it.

♫♫

(Henry Mancini's "moon river"
playing)

You've got to be kidding me.

Fantastic. One, two, three,
come on...
Oh! There she is.

Blair! Come on, quick.
What took you so long?

Hey.

Blair.

(Door slams)

Blair. Blair, wait,
where are you going?

Blair, wait.
Why are you so mad?

Why am I mad? You mean
why aren't I furious?!

I can't believe
for one second I thought

that it'd be different
this time!
You thought
what would be different?

You couldn't deal with
the spotlight shining on me

for once, could you?
What are you talking about?

I was told we were
doing this together.

What, did you not
get my message?
What about this morning then?
When you glanced

at the call sheet,
did you see my name on it?

When I wasn't
in hair and makeup,

didn't that seem strange?

When the dressing room
only had your name on the door,

what, did you think
they just forgot?
I was told
you were running late,

and they asked me
to do some test shots first.

Blair, they told me
you wanted me here.
And you believed them?

Look, Blair,
I encouraged you to do this.

Why would I try to steal
something from you

that I pushed you to do?
Because you take everything
from me!

Nate, my mom!
Blair!

You can't even help it.
It's who you are.

I just thought maybe this time
it would be different.

I should have known
I'd be wrong.

Great.

Spotted...
Lonely boy's rude awakening.

Upper East Side queens
aren't born at the top.

They climb their way up
in heels,

no matter who they have
to tread on to do it.

(Eleanor) Terry,
I think it's very good.
(Terry) Yeah.

I like the bridge
in the background,

but we need her back.
There you are.
I know. What...

Terry wanted me to tell you
how perfect you looked...
Eleanor, I quit.

With these now.
Wait a minute. Why?
I think you know why.

Because of Blair? I know that
she will support my decision...
Hey.

(Serena) Hey.
Once I explain it to her.

You know you love the spotlight.
You always have.

It's part of your charm. There
is nothing wrong with that...
(Door slams)

Who are you?
What are you doing here?

I have no idea, actually.

I...

(Knocks on screen)

Hey, I k... I kinda overheard you
guys in the stairwell there.

Dan, look, I really can't
go here right now.

O-okay, well, forget
I said anything then.

In fact, you know what?
I'm mute.

I'll just stand here
and blink real quiet.

Unless you want me to...

Hand me my jeans?
Yes, please.

It's just, uh,

I thought you wanted
to be on the sidelines here.

I thought you wanted to be here
for your friend Blair.

You know, we were
gonna get craft service,

and I'd have
your "full attention"?

Say it.

I-I don't think I have to.

So my best friend
doesn't believe me,

and neither does the guy I like.

Look, Dan, Blair's mom basically
tricked me into coming here

because she didn't want Blair.

How do you tell your best friend
something like that?

Oh. I-I didn't...
I guess I didn't...

Look, you know what, Dan?
Just go, okay?

I-I need to clean up, and I
just need to get out of here.

Serena send you here
to talk to me?

No, believe it or not,
I actually came here myself.

(Sighs)

Normally, wouldn't
be this close to you

without a tetanus shot.

(Sighs)

My, uh, my mom

kinda left us
a couple months ago...

Only my...

My dad and my sister

don't really see that...

'Cause she told us she had
to go away for the summer

to, um, to follow her dream
of being an artist.

But it's...
It's not summer anymore,

and she's still up there,

and that's all she seems
to care about right now.

Every time I go to see her,

I tell myself, this time,
I'm gonna tell her what I think.

This time, I'm gonna
look her in the eye and say,

"either come home
or leave for good."

And so there I was,
just the other day.

I was sitting
across the table from her,

looking her straight in the eye,

and I didn't say anything.

Why not?

Uh...

I don't know,

but I wish I had,

'cause even
if it didn't change anything,

she'd know how I felt.

(Man) Bullet, gentlemen.

First bet.

(Man) $5,000. 5 to call.

Hey, I don't have the money.
Call his bet.

It's all luck. Hey, you guys
okay with a marker?

I don't think
that's such a good idea.

If you're ever gonna
take a risk, start now.

What's the point
of anything less?

(Nate sighs)

(Carter) It's fine.

You sure he's good for it?

Of course he is.
He's an Archibald.

(Tears paper)

Make it $10,000.

(Man) Five to call.

(Man) Call.

Show your cards.

Oh!
Trip bullets.
The trip aces take it.

That's rough.
You told me to.

It's the luck of the draw,
my friend.

He... he had three aces.
Look, I don't, um,

it might take me a little while
to get the money.
Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
A little while?

(Scoffs) Come on, man.
Snap your fingers.

Wait a minute.
Are you in with these guys?

Did you play me, man?
Are you playing me, huh?
(Man) Hey, hey, hold on.

I guess that's a yes.
Just give him the money, man.
Money means nothing to you.

This guys aren't playing,
but no one has to get hurt.

I'm trying to help you out.
(Chuck) Yeah,
you're a real friend.

Who let you in here, bass?
He set me up.

No one forced his hand.
Your boy lost fair and square.
Did you?

Look, man, if you don't get 'em
the money right away,

I'm gonna tell everyone
where you live,

and they can come get it
from your daddy.

What do you think about that?
Look. Look, you got my watch
and my ball.

You keep them.
Take care of these guys.

I don't call the cops,

and we walk out of here.

(Scoffs)

It's cool. I-i-i got it.
I got it.

I'm gonna have
to transfer some money

and pray the captain
doesn't notice

before I find a way
to put it back.
You don't have
to pay me back, you know.

I mean, it was worth every cent
to see the last of that guy.

No, I want to. I mean it.
Thanks.

(Beep)
That can't be right.

What's up?
It says I'm zeroed out.

Maybe you have
the wrong account.
No, no, no, no.
There must be something wrong.

I accessed this account
last month,

and it said there was
almost $200,000.

(Cell phone rings)
Hey, Tom, thanks for getting
back to me so quickly.

Your message said
it was important.
Um, yeah, I was...
I was checking my accounts,

and I came across
what I assume to be an error,

in that my trust seems
to have a zero balance.

Oh, uh, I thought you knew.

That account was drained
weeks ago.

Drained? But by who?

Your father.

He said he discussed it
with you.

We... we have to solve this.
I mean, what are we gonna do?
I'm not into getting
a lingerie model.

Uh, Blair, honey, there's been
a terrible mistake.

How would you like
your job back?

Did you choose Serena over me?

You could've picked a stranger.

You didn't have to choose
my best friend.

What, did you think
that I wouldn't find out?

I was going to tell you
tonight...

At dinner.

It... there was no right decision.

There... (Sighs)
There... there wasn't any time.

I know you can understand
all this.

It was mishandled...

The whole thing...
From top to bottom.

You actually want me
to agree with you.

Bendel's will legitimize
this company.

It will take everything
to the next level.

You know how hard
I have worked for that.

You've always been my biggest
supporter, my biggest fan.

I'm your daughter.
And as my daughter,

I knew that you would
forgive me, in time,

but if my company had lost
this deal because of you?

I'd never forgive myself.

I hope you never do.

You didn't hear it from us,

but in every girl's life,

there comes a moment
when she realizes

that her mother just might be
more messed up than she is.

(Train brakes squealing
in distance)

You're still here?

Yeah, well,
I thought I couldn't leave

without bringing you
something from craft service.

Um, and, uh, and telling you
that I'm sorry I judged you.

Mm. Well, I'm sorry
I gave you reason to.

Hey, how about
you ask me out again?

How about you actually show up?

Okay. No drama,
no disruptions. I promise.

You promise? Oh, no! That means
it's never gonna happen now.

Aah! Okay, quick.
I take it back. I unpromise.

Friday. 8:00.

I think we can agree
to those terms,

but you can't wear those shoes.

Mm. Or that hair.

Blair.

(Laughs) Oh.

Okay, see you then.
Ew.

All right.

(Laughs)

So you were right.

I know.
When I got that call,
I should've known

you had nothing to do with it.

And I should never have pushed
you to do this whole thing

in the first place.

Actually,
I'm glad you pushed me.

It ended up being
a very important day for me.

I just thought
it was gonna be more fun.

I know. Me, too.

(Sean Kingston) ♫ you're way
too beautiful, girl ♫

♫ that's why... ♫

Hey, you know what?
Who says it still can't be?

♫ Suicidal ♫

Come on. Come on.

♫ When you say it's over ♫

♫ damn
all these beautiful girls ♫

This just in...

S. And b. Committing

Who doesn't love

Especially if one of those
fingers is the middle one.

Where are my clothes?

Everyone knows
you can't choose your family,

but you can choose your friends,

and in a world ruled by
bloodlines and bank accounts,

it pays to have a pal.

Do it again. One, two...
One, two, three.

♫ Damn
all these beautiful girls ♫

♫ they only want

♫ they'll have you suicidal ♫

♫ suicidal ♫

As much as a b.F.F
can make you go w.T.F,

there's no denying

we'd all be a little less rich
without them.

And Serena and Blair... they do
besties better than anyone.

(Both scream)

♫ you're way too beautiful,
girl ♫

♫ that's why it'll never work ♫

No, that's not a tear in my eye.

It's just allergies.

Without you, I'm nothing.
