"Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite." "Why settle for some club in a hotel when you can just buy the hotel?" "I'm worrying." "Politics is a Vanderbilt birthright." "The only thing Nate's voted for is American Idol." "Tripp was the same way." "Grandfather can be very persuasive." "When did Tripp decide to run for Congress?" "After Congressman Kruger died, a house seat opened up." "Dan, I have to tell you something." " Oh, my God." "Are you...?" "You're not...?" " Fleur." "I lied because I care about you." "The only person I wanna kiss tonight is you." "Why leak a fake photo?" " Are you trying to destroy Tripp?" " It'll win Tripp the election." " I am sorry I had to lie." " You're not." "I settled your debt with the Buckleys." "Nate hates me now." "It doesn't matter." "Chuck's hotel needed this." "Without your celebrities we're buried in the City section." "Now we're front-page news." "You got my clients photographed at the hottest party." "Your job is safe." "That job now includes dating Patrick." " I don't know if I'd call that work." " Get back to me after date two." "Where has she been?" "And who am I?" "That's one secret I'll never tell." "You know you love me." "XOXO Gossip Girl." "In Manhattan, some parties are VIP only." "Others are strictly private." "But some parties are political, and those lines are drawn by the most established of the establishment." "Hey, you wanna use that?" "And once those lines are drawn, they can never be crossed." "A Michael Mann political thriller?" " That's good news." " Wonderful news." "My source tells me Michael's only considering two actors for the lead:" " Patrick and Ryan Phillippe." " Well, then he's in." "Ryan totally lost his mojo after Reese got with Jake." "Don't "Jake" me, Serena." "Get Patrick's photo taken with politicians at the Vanderbilt election party tonight." " I can't." " The producers will eat it up." "It'll help him get into character for his audition next week." "I look forward to hearing how it goes." "The problem is I'm kind of on the outs with the Vanderbilts right now." "Serena, what's PR rule number one?" ""My only value is my social network."" "But I'm afraid that network is currently one Archibald short." "Make it happen." "Clean up your mess, or clean out your desk." "No, that one." " Hey, how long you been awake?" " Not long." "Remind me to send the Vanderbilt campaign a muffin basket." "Vanessa's been MIA since she started that documentary." "She was here for 10 seconds yesterday." "I guess she's getting amazing footage." "The footage I wanna see is your Jimmy Fallon appearance." "Dinner was great." "I just wish we'd gotten back in time to see it." "Yeah, sorry I dragged you to that gelato shop." "I had a really bad sugar craving." " You know what?" "I bet it's online." " No." "Uh, you can't watch it like that." "The quality's so bad, you know?" "I'd rather you watch it in HD." "Okay." "When?" "I'm sorry, I'm just excited." "It's been a while since I had a girlfriend on a late-night talk show." "Um..." "Well, I'm sure I can get a copy from KC." "Okay." "Ho, ho." "Watch out, it's Bathroom Boy." "Clear the way." "Okay." "All right." "Good morning to you too." "Welcome to my new suite." "We patent the media system." "Interactive high-def 3-D gaming." "Instant access to the world's largest media library." "And all in-house food, spa services, just touch the button." "Real-time surveillance playback." "It's naughty." "Ha, ha." "Well, it certainly is a step up from the Columbia dorms." "Most penthouses are, Nathaniel." "It has two bedrooms." "Feel free to crash any time you like." " Tripp." "Maureen." " Hey." "Hey, all this behind-the-scenes stuff is really great." "Thanks again for letting me film Tripp's campaign." " No problem." " Charles." "Well, you've outdone yourself." "I can't think of a better way to christen the ballroom than with a Vanderbilt victory party." " Your generosity will not be forgotten." "We're looking forward to tonight's event." "Thanks again, Chuck." "Even if the night ends in defeat at least we'll have a good party." " Sweetie, don't talk like that." "This morning's poll numbers aren't great." "We're down where we should be up." "We're barely hanging on." " That's what makes it exciting, right?" " Excuse me." "He's right, Nathaniel." "Things aren't where they should be." "The Buckleys' dirty pool is starting to work." "Thanks to Serena, we weren't able to expose it." " Well, isn't there something we can do?" " It's Election Day." "At this point, Nathaniel, it would take nothing short of a miracle." "Hey." "I was running errands." "KC asked me to drop off your Jimmy Fallon interview." "Great." "Guess that means you've seen it." "Yeah." " I didn't mean what I said." " Oh, don't worry about that." " I'm sure Dan understands." " He hasn't seen it." "I don't know what to do." "I have to fix this." "And, meanwhile, keep him away from TV and Internet and strangers." " Don't forget about Gossip Girl." " I have to just keep him isolated." " Oh, hey." "What are you doing here?" " Um..." "Serena just, uh, came by to tell us how much she likes Patrick." " Oh." " Yeah, ha, ha." "Oddly, he's my favorite part of my job." "It's pretty fun having a fake relationship." " Talk about no pressure." " I'm slightly relieved." "I heard some pretty crazy stuff about Patrick." "Supposedly he went method after that Gus Van Sant movie he did nobody saw." "His agents and KC are filtering all the scripts that get to him." "He's been allowed to read a political thriller." " What's the worst thing he can do?" " As much as I enjoy my girlfriend talking to my ex-girlfriend about her fake boyfriend who is also my current girlfriend's ex you could get us a copy of that Fallon interview, right?" "But first, um, Serena you should get to Patrick's before FedEx does with more scripts." " Goodbye." " Okay." "Bye." "S. I hope you're not here looking for an apology." "I was just dropping something off to Olivia." "That's right." "I momentarily forgot your job is more important than your friends." "I have a couple minutes." "Wanna get a latte?" "If by "getting a latte" you mean apologizing, then I don't." "Out of respect for our many years of friendship I'm willing to let what you did slide." " What I did?" "Okay, we both made decisions that hurt the other." "We both feel badly." "Now let's move on." "I have to go meet Chuck right now." "We've been prepping for Tripp's election party tonight." "I notice you're not on the guest list." "And that can only mean one thing:" "Nate still hates you for whatever it is you did to him." "I'd check your sources, B." "And I am going tonight with my handsome boyfriend, Patrick." "Your boyfriend's working the party." "Who are you going with?" " One of your knockoffs?" " Well, since you're so interested I have made real friends here." "I just don't share your need to brag." "Okay." "Well, I can't wait to meet them tonight." " I need a friend." "Stat." " I'm your friend." "Please." "I'm not friends with staff." "You need to get that?" "No." "It's not important." "This is Nate." "Leave a message." "If this morning's polls put you neck and neck with Sullivan there's still time." "Why not let Grandfather help you?" "Nate, I've said it before, and I'll say it again:" "I'd rather lose fair and square than win with a dirty campaign." "Yeah, well, asking Grandfather for help doesn't necessarily mean playing dirty." "It's Election Day." "Who are you voting for?" "Hey, someone's drowning over here!" "Call 911!" "Help!" "I can't swim!" " Help!" "I'm drowning!" " Help him!" "It looks like Tripp's prayers have been answered with another miracle on the Hudson." "Are the Vanderbilts blessed with good luck or good timing?" "You're watching New York 1, news all day." "Just this morning, congressional candidate Tripp Vanderbilt rescued a man who was drowning in the Hudson River." "One minute, I'm walking along the pier." "The next thing I know, I lose my balance and I'm in the Hudson." "If it wasn't for this brave young man, Tripp Vanderbilt..." " Vanderbilt was on his way to his..." " Ten hours till the polls close." "Let's seize the day." "Where are we with media?" "I've locked down coverage from every local station." "Call Couric." "She owes me a favor." "Maybe she can squeeze Tripp into the Evening News." "Can I speak with you?" "Zogby has them neck and neck." "Rasmussen puts him up by a point." " Oh." "Tripp, that's fantastic." " Remember, until the polls close any time someone mentions the name Tripp Vanderbilt it should be followed by the word "hero."" "Well, I guess miracles do happen, huh, Grandfather?" "Our family is really blessed." "So is that man who almost died." "William, can you take a look at this?" "Remind them that they do have an important voice in politics." "Absolutely." "No, thank you." " Thank you so, so much." " Hey." "My rescue footage is gonna be on the news." "William told me to go drum up interest." "I'm the only one who got it on tape." " Congratulations." "Have you seen Nate?" " Yeah, he's over there." "Tell him bye from me." "I gotta go home and get my tapes together." " What are you doing?" " I left you a message." "You never called." "As you can see, I've been sort of busy." "I have nothing to say to you." "Then I'll make it quick." "I need you to put me and Patrick Roberts on the guest list for Tripp's party." " Are you kidding me?" " My job is at stake." "That's funny." "So is my cousin's campaign, thanks to you." "As far as I'm concerned, we're even." "You used me for your Buckley photo scam." "All I did was find out and undo it." "I wouldn't exactly call revenge a solid foundation for a friendship." "Who said anything about friendship?" "All I need is an invite, plus one." " Serena." " Tripp." "Hey." "I voted for you." "Thanks." "You coming tonight?" "Absolutely." "I wouldn't miss it." " Thanks, Nate." " Tripp, sign off on this?" "Washington Square Park, Bobst Library, Bar None." "I tried spinning the cube at St. Mark's Place." "Not a friend in sight." " It wouldn't be this hard at Yale." " What about that Vanessa girl?" "Didn't you know her in high school?" "I have never heard that name before in my life." "Now, feel free to see yourself out." "Oh, my God." "How does that girl have the Valentino 360 bag?" " I'm still wait-listed." " Who?" "Where?" "At the register." "Quick." "How do I look?" "Superior." "No one follow me." " I love your 360." " Thanks." "I just got it." " And very smart to pair with Peter Som." " You're good." " I know." "I'm Blair." "May I?" " Oh, please, do." "The moment I saw it, it joined my list of Blair's Most Wanted." "Believe me when I tell you..." "I don't say this very often." " But I think I like you." "Give me those Peep Toes, and I'll believe you." "Sorry." "My Alexandre Birman's are sacred." " Amen." " Ha, ha." "By the way, I'm Brandeis." "How would you like to come with me to a fabulous party tonight?" " "Mat." Are you joking?" " No, not in the least." "It's going on the end of "door," which makes it a triple-word score." " That's my son." " Wow, the Humphreys are so serious about their Scrabble games." " You two are so sweet to come and entertain Jenny." "She's been cooped up with this virus for a week." " When she called, how could we resist?" " Yeah, thank you guys so much." "Really getting sick of TV and Internet." " I need a SARS mask." " Uh, can I borrow your phone?" " Yeah, go ahead." " I keep leaving mine in the dorm." "All right, that's 33." "A whopping 33 points." " Uh, "jetdoorman," is that a word?" " Well, it'd be "jetdoormat."" " Oh, "jetdoormat."" " SARS mask." "Who are you voting for?" "I don't know." "Tough question." "You know, I'm not really sure who I'm gonna vote for..." "You know, I'm not really..." "What?" "Sure who I'm gonna vote for." "He's awful young..." " Wow." "You look hot." " Same." " I have great news." " Yeah, so do I." " You first." " I just finished reading a fantastic script." "The political thriller?" "It's a remake of Leaving Las Vegas." "They wanna redo it with a younger cast." " Where did you get those scripts?" " In the garbage." "This one's amazing." " Care to join me in a little research?" " No research." "Your team has been pushing very hard for the political one." "I have worked my butt off to get you into this party." "But Miley Cyrus has already signed on to play the Elisabeth Shue role." "They must've seen her on that pole at the TCAs." "We don't have time to talk about this." "You need to get ready." "This party is a very big deal for both of us." "There will be tons of important political people there." "Tonight, forget Vegas." "It's all about D.C. Okay?" "Put on some clothes, please." "Hey, Vanessa." "Listen, I'm really busy." "This couldn't wait?" "Honestly, no." "And I thought it'd be better to talk away from the campaign chaos." "Hmm." "I'm in a really awkward position so I'm just gonna say what I have to say." "Okay." "What happened at the Hudson this morning wasn't what it looked like." "What do you mean?" "The guy you and Tripp saved, he didn't fall." "I think it was set up." " That's ridiculous." " I have it all on tape." " Has anyone else seen the footage?" " No." "But I already agreed to sell it to New York 1." "I'm going to meet Caroline Lowe, one of the producers, at Cafeteria." "Whoa, wait." "Vanessa, if you do that..." "I'm sorry, but if I just sit on it, I become part of a cover-up." "Listen, the polls close in a few hours." "Can you just wait?" "I wish I could." "But this is not some high-school thing." "This is someone running for public office, Nate." "Yeah, but there's gotta be some sort of explanation." "Someone set Tripp up to look like a hero, and I think we know the person most likely to orchestrate something like that is your grandfather." "I have so much respect for Tripp and he has been so generous to let me film his campaign." "Should I warn him so he can prepare for damage control?" "Don't worry about telling Tripp." "Okay?" "I'll tell him." " I'm sorry, Nate." " No." "This election may be too close to call but when it's his family's honor or his own Nate Archibald has the number on speed dial." "Yes." "New York 1, please." "Caroline Lowe." "Wow, thank you so much for explaining that." "Hey, we were just discussing the Senate Committee on Appropriations." " Maybe you'd like to join us." " Oh, yeah." " Hello." " Thank you so much." "See?" "Isn't this great?" "You've got the perfect Capitol Hill vibe." " I gotta hit the can." " Okay." " Right." "Yeah." " Yeah." "Do you wanna?" "Oh, my God." "That's Senator Proctor." "Wow." "You really do know everyone." "Oh, I don't know everyone." "I'll be right back." " Hey, Blair." " Hey." "Do you see that gorgeous blond talking to those high-profile politicians?" "That's my best friend." "She knows most of them personally." "Oh, that's great." "Political connections aren't the first thing most people look for in friends." " They must really love her." "They seemed thrilled to meet me." "They even asked if we were sisters." "I can't wait for you to meet Patrick." "He's getting me a drink." " I feel so lucky." "He's so attentive." " It doesn't take much, does it?" "What?" "No one's ever accused you of saying no." "Hey, where is the Scrabble dictionary?" "I swear "squiffy" is a word." "Oh." "Uh..." ""Scrabble dictionary."" ""Bathroom Boy"?" "Ah." "You know our next guest from the Endless Knights movie franchise." "Please welcome the lovely Olivia Burke, everybody." "She's cute." "Many years in the private sector, and after retiring served four years in City Council and 10 in the State Legislature." "He was a supporter of John McCain, stumping for him all across rural upstate New York in the 2008 presidential race." "Someone just told me you're Vanessa Abrams." "Is that right?" " Yeah." " So who did you sell the footage to?" "My office called, said that you sold your rescue footage to another network." "Yeah, I sold it to New York 1, actually." "A woman named Caroline Lowe." " I met her two hours ago." " I'm Caroline Lowe." "So who was the woman in the restaurant?" "As far as first-time voters go, the high turnout can be credited to the 2008 election in which..." "Finally." "It's your turn." "I just realized I have an Environmental Studies paper due tomorrow." " Wait, um..." "I'll just get my stuff." " You know what?" "Stay." "You're winning." "And you gotta keep Jenny company." "I'll text you later, okay?" "Did my son just walk out before playing a Q on a double letter?" "That is so not the Humphrey way." "My computer." " Hmm." " Hmm." "You know, I am sensing something else is going on here." "Well, you didn't actually think they wanted to play five hours' worth of board games with us did you?" " Mm." "Looking for your boyfriend?" "Uh..." "No, he's probably getting mobbed by fans right now." " He's just stolen away to get us a drink." " Doubt it." "Because he downed both your drinks, and then ordered two more for himself." " Where is he?" " Don't worry." "I took care of it." "I had him taken up to a suite." " What?" "Why?" " He's bombed." "Drunker than Paula Abdul during Hollywood Week." "Heh." "Are you really that jealous that he's here with me?" "S, you know wasted better than most of us having been in that state so many times." "You met your match." "Since I just found out that your date is really work, pay closer attention to him next time." "This is Nate's big night at Chuck's hotel." "So, sorry, S, I did what I had to do." "Again." "So you're out with this guy, he goes to the bathroom, when he comes back..." "It was our first date." "He goes to the restroom, when he comes back his shirt was on inside-out." " Check, please." "That's where you go." "That's when you get out." " That's when you have to leave." " I find out later that he walked into a spiderweb, and a spider crawled inside his shirt." "Yeah, the old spider excuse." "We've all used that one before." "Yeah, the old, "Oh, a spider came down my shirt." "And that's why I had to take my shirt off."" "Okay, yeah, that's..." "I believe that." "Yeah, I would believe that one." "And now, are you still dating Bathroom Boy?" " Or was he been arrested?" "I don't know." " Jimmy." "You know what?" "Tomorrow is our one-month anniversary." " Oh, my gosh." "Congratulations." " Yeah, it's big." "In honor, I'll be taking my clothes off in the bathroom, then redressing myself." " And after all that Scrabble." " I can't believe I told that story on national television." "He must hate me." "Please pick up, please pick up, please pick up." "It went to voicemail." "Hey, it's me." "I know that you're not picking up because you must be so mad at me." "Please know that I'm so, so sorry." "Patrick." "Patrick." "Patrick!" " Patrick!" "What are you doing?" " Whoa!" " I told you how important tonight was." " Serena." "Do you think Blair had me thrown out because I was a little tipsy or because I was talking to that high-priced call-girl friend of hers?" "What did you just say?" " Why'd you do it?" " Do what?" "Nate." "You were the only one who knew I had a meeting to sell the footage." " I had to protect Tripp." " I came to you, as a friend." "Don't be so self-righteous." "You were selling the footage to further your career." " That is not true." " Oh, so you weren't excited to see your name flash on every television in Manhattan?" "I'll let you know how that feels in a minute." " What does that mean?" " Everybody, quiet." " With breaking news." "We are just now getting reports that footage of the Hudson River rescue reveals Tripp Vanderbilt's heroic act might not be so heroic." "After close inspection of the footage, it's apparent the man deliberately went into the Hudson River." "The polls are closed and Gossip Girl is calling this election dirty." "It remains to be seen who's responsible for this hoax." "Someone in the Vanderbilt camp?" "Maybe the candidate himself?" " Grandfather." " The effect on polls is impossible to measure." "All right, could someone just turn that off?" "And please just give us a moment of privacy." "Thank you." "I can't believe you would compromise my integrity like this." " Take a deep breath, Tripp." " You didn't believe I could win did you?" " Honestly, I had my doubts." " But I did not do this." " The hell you didn't." "Tripp, just calm down." "Listen to me very carefully, Grandfather." "If you don't go and take responsibility for this then I will." "By stepping out of the race." "I'm not gonna go in front of the cameras and lie." "Oh, come on, Grandfather, it's time to come clean." "I give you my word, I'm not responsible for this." "Unfortunately for the both of us, your word means nothing anymore." "Well, if you are both done I'm going to go down and join the celebration." "Gather the press, Nate." "I'm gonna announce my official withdrawal." "I just have to tell Maureen first." "I know I'm an enemy of the state right now." "What happened to you, Nate?" "The guy I used to call my friend had a moral compass." "Right now, I'm thinking I'm just gonna go for my masters but who knows?" " Sorry to interrupt." " Brandeis, right?" "I'm Serena." " Hi, Serena." "This is Congressman Wade." "Pleasure to meet you." "And are you a student like Brandeis?" "No, I'm just a regular old working girl." "Really?" "And do you two work together?" "Because maybe the three of us..." "Congressman." "You've been campaigning a little too hard." "Let me guess, you wanna go upstairs and see if two blonds make a right?" "Excuse us." "I'm sorry, I thought I was working this party alone." "Did the agency send you?" "No, you're right." "This party is all yours." "Excuse me." "As a friend, what do you have to say about the allegation Tripp Vanderbilt's heroism might have been staged?" " I'm a businessman, not a politician." " How will it affect your business if the Empire's inaugural event is mired in scandal?" "Look, you think anyone goes to the Mercer for the maid service?" "They wanna see Russell Crowe throw a hissy." "Anyway, nothing happens at the Empire without my say-so." "Will you please come with me?" " Hey." " Sir, I need you to put some pants on." "Where are you taking me?" "What are you doing, Blair, looking for your best friend?" "Bad news, security just escorted her out in time to avoid a major political scandal." "You're kidding me." "Now we're doing tit for tat?" "She was an escort, a high-priced hooker." "You're ridiculous." "Brandeis is not a call girl, she's a psych major." " Who told you that?" " Patrick." "The guy is wasted." "He thought Chuck Schumer was his father." " You're just trying to get back at me." " No, I'm looking out for Chuck and Nate." "I doubt Chuck would want a prostitute at his hotel." "Especially this party." "Patrick was about to cause a scene." "I was protecting everyone." "Including you." "What are you talking about?" "Look, ladies, please." "This is supposed to be a classy event not a sample sale at a mall." "You'll never believe what Serena did." "She had my friend kicked out." "The call girl?" "Security just told me." "No, I promise you, Brandeis is not an escort." "Serena's just getting even with me." "I don't know what's going on but I'll find her and get to the bottom of it, okay?" "Thank you, Chuck." "Who's the one getting paid to date her clients, anyway?" " That's enough, Blair." " No." "If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck..." "The only prostitute here is you." "Come on, Chuck." "I want some cake." "Blair and Serena at war again." "Yummy." " Hey, let me go first." " Nate, it's okay." "I know what I'm doing." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Hi." "My name is Nate Archibald." "I'm Tripp Vanderbilt's cousin." "And I know there's a lot of buzz going around about what happened this morning at the Hudson River." "And it saddens me to tell you all that the story about it being a hoax it is true." "However, my cousin Tripp Vanderbilt had no knowledge of any kind of setup." "My cousin is not only the most moral, honest and courageous guy I know he's still a hero." "And how do I know this?" "Because I'm the one who set it up." " What the hell is wrong with you?" " Right now?" "Thirst." "I need a drink." "She called me a prostitute." " Why did she do that?" " I'm not sleeping with Patrick." "You know what a prostitute does." "Blair attacked you because she misses you." "Don't tell me you can't read Waldorf subtext." "I shouldn't have to." "If that's what she's feeling, she should tell me." " It's time to grow up." " This from someone who just pushed her best friend into a cake?" "Look, you think your friendship is going to take care of itself?" "You're not kids anymore." "You can't say you hate each other and then make up an hour later." " You tell her that." " I'm telling you." "And you should careful, because one day you're gonna find yourself telling people about Blair Waldorf, the girl who used to be your best friend." " Hi." "I got your text." " All it said was..." ""Maybe we should talk." And so I just came right away." "I'm sorry about Fallon." "Up till now, my publicists would decide everything for me what I'd talk about during interviews and even script what I would say." "And just this one time, I wanted to just be myself and go out there and be me." "And, ugh, I bombed." " What?" "No, you didn't." "It was funny." " And today, you left and I knew..." "I knew that I'd hurt you." "And our first date meant so much to me." "Olivia, Fallon was right." "The spider story isn't even true." "What is this?" "You wanna know the truth about our first date?" "There was no spider." "I was so nervous that I was with you, I kept sweating through my shirt." "I was running to the bathroom to use the dryer..." " Ha-ha-ha." " This isn't funny." "Don't laugh." "No..." "Ha-ha-ha, I'm really trying not to." "Then today, I rushed out of Scrabble because I'd seen your interview where you told the world that today was our one-month anniversary." "I'm usually very on the ball with these things." " Stop." "You're amazing." "You're not the only one with a surprise today." "You're watching New York 1, news all evening." "Before we return to the race for mayor, we wanna take you to the congressional election, which couldn't be any closer." "At this time, with 85 percent of the votes counted Mike Sullivan has 49,837 votes..." "Hey, what are you doing down here?" "Get back to your party." "I was hoping you'd still be here." "I wanted to thank you for the sacrifice you made on that stage tonight." " For me." " Hey, I was happy to." "Because I believe in you." "Here it is." "We are prepared to call this election in favor of newcomer..." " Apparently New York does too." "...26-year-old William Vanderbilt III affectionately known to those around him as "Tripp."" "That is right, with 96 percent of the vote counted..." " I won." " Yeah, you did." " Just do me one favor though." " Anything." "Be the best congressman this district's ever seen." "I have complete faith in you." "After all, I mean, you're the only honest man in our family." " Congrats." "You deserve it." " Thanks." "Better get going before we're seen together and a scandal erupts." "I promise you, one day, I will make things right." "I will fix this." "This is the beginning of a new Vanderbilt dynasty." "One we can be proud of." "For those of you just tuning in..." "Congratulations!" "Ha, ha." "I'm so proud of you." "Stay away from me." "Blair, I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have done that but whether it was Patrick tonight or KC's clients at Chuck's party a real friend would've come to me with the problem and we would've solved it together." " Seriously, Serena?" "After 18 years of this, I actually feel sorry for you." "You're so deep in Serena World, you can't recognize what's really going on." "Throughout all my years with Nate my whole life, really, you've always been number one." "And now, for the first time, things are different." "I'm different." "I have college and a real relationship." "I'm starting to build a life for myself." "I'm building a life for myself too." "With Carter?" "Your job as an assistant to a publicist who pays you to date a wacked-out movie star?" "You're drifting away from Dan and your family." "And you've lost Nate one of your oldest friends." "This night is finally over." "And as far as I'm concerned, so are we." "Who would have thought that S and B's friendship had a term limit?" "Sorry, ladies." "Party's over." "Thank you." "Hey, Brandeis." "I thought you'd be long gone by now." " Hey, Blair." "Great party." " I am so sorry." "I can't believe Serena told everyone you were a prostitute." " That is, like, so crazy." " Well, to be honest it's not that crazy." " How so?" " It's true." "I'm a working girl." " I wanted to tell you, but we just met." " Ew." " Do you even go to school at NYU?" " Yes." "And I am a psych major." "Ask me anything." "Freud, Skinner, Piaget." "I'm still the same person, Blair." "This is just how I pay for college and couture." "Huh." "Well, I have to run it by my people, but we can still shop together perhaps." "Absolutely." "But right now I got a job." " You used me to meet new clients?" " Sorry, but I'm new to the Big Apple." "And rotten to the core." "Okay, come on." "Come on." "Let's get you in." " Easy." "Come on, watch your head." " Hey, come on, let's go to Bar Boulud." " No." " You have to." "You're my girlfriend." "I can't be seen without you, remember?" "That's what you get paid for." "Here you go." "Come on, 710 East 76th Street." "Tell Ms. Cunningham she has a delivery."

"You." "All this time you thought the only thing I was capable of was holding his hand and smiling on the sidelines." "To be honest, my dear, I never really spent that much time thinking about you."

" You think I'm just gonna stand aside and let myself be collateral damage?" "I'll tell him." "You don't exactly have a lot of credibility right now." "Who's he going to believe?" "I thought you said you were going home." "I changed my mind." "Well, If I'd known, I would have come sooner." "Did you ever find Brandeis?" "Yes." "But we're not friends anymore." "But that's okay."

"We'll let your problem be the first that I address as your elected representative." "Okay, congressman." "Ha, ha." "But I'm gonna warn you, this one might need a special committee."
