"BLAIR:" "If you wanna be part of this world, Jenny you need to decide if all this is worth it." "GIRL 1:" "Oh, my God, you'll never believe what's on Gossip Girl." "GIRL 2:" "Someone saw Serena getting off the train at Grand Central." "I thought everything was good between us." "Before I found out you had sex with my boyfriend." "CHUCK:" "The best friend and the boyfriend." "It's pretty classy, S." "You'd go out with some guy you don't know?" " Can't be worse than the guys I know." " Our kids were bound to meet." "Sure it's not some ploy you're using to get me?" "Did you sleep with her?" " You and I have been best friends, okay?" " No, it's not okay." "Stay away from me." " Did something happen last night?" " Yes." " I'm done." "JENNY:" "I lied and I stole and I lost the respect of my family, for what?" "I tried to warn you." "There's a price to pay." "Lily, would you do me the honor of being my wife?" "He proposed before we left, and I'm going to say yes." "One thing I learned is that in the face of true love, you don't give up." "Even if the object of your affection is begging you to." "I'm not who you thought I was." "You can't forgive that." "I don't know how to make things what they were." "I'm locking myself away in the Hamptons." " You know how I get in the summer." " I do." "If you wanna reflect together, I'll be around." "GIRL:" "Where has she been?" "GOSSIP GIRL:" "And who am I?" "That's one secret I'll never tell." "You know you love me." "XOXO Gossip Girl." "GOSSIP GIRL:" "Unlike the rest of us, sex, lies and scandal never take a vacation." "Instead, they take the Long Island Expressway and head east to the Hamptons." "Some would say summer is their busiest season." "Think Park Avenue, but with tennis whites and Bain de Soleil." "The players change, but the game remains the same." "I've been waiting for this all day." "You sure Serena's okay with covering for you?" "She was a little cold." "Oh, she's totally fine." "But you haven't told her anything?" "All she knows is that I'm seeing someone I'm not ready to introduce to anyone yet." "Or ever." "Look, she needed time to decompress from her breakup anyway." "Covering for me works for her too." "Let's go to my place before somebody spots us." "Your house?" "I thought we couldn't." "There's always the guesthouse." "[NATE CHUCKLES]" "Girls, you don't know how thankful I am to have finally found a use for geometry in my daily life." "Yes." "GOSSIP GIRL:" "Spotted:" "Blair Waldorf at Charles de Gaulle, homeward bound." "What could possibly make Queen B abandon her two dads before Labor Day?" "We bet Chuck Bass wants to know." "Mr. Chuck, is there something you need care taking of?" "The only thing I need to take care of is you." "And you." "And you." "GOSSIP GIRL:" "Also spotted:" "Serena van der Woodsen on Coopers Beach, alone again." "We've heard talk that things are heating up with Nate Archibald and where there's smoke, there's usually fire." "But if that's the case why has Nate fallen right off our radar and Serena is always sighted solo?" "Wonder what she'd do if she knew Lonely Boy wasn't so lonely anymore." "HARRIS:" ""Things happen, people change."" "I've been Harris' assistant all summer." "How come I don't know you?" "I was at his symposium at the 92nd Street Y in June." "No way." "If you were there, we would've met." ""...and dish up justice." "You considered violence and you considered reconciliation." "How about now we can meet whenever you want?" " I had my eye on her." " I don't think she noticed, sir." "I read from your favorite chapter." "Or did you not notice?" "I've heard that chapter so many times, sometimes I think I wrote it myself." "Speaking of, where is that story of yours?" "You know, the one your internship requires you turn in." " Yeah, it's imminent." " So is death." "Be more specific." "I'm just doing a polish, it's basically done." "Noah Shapiro at the Paris Review looks forward to it." "Calling him was an amazing thing to do." "Thank you." "I told him it would be even better than your piece in The New Yorker." "Don't let me down." "On your desk in the morning, sir." "Why don't you go home and finish now?" "Hey." "Where've you been hiding?" "You asked me to meet you here." "You know what?" "Unfortunately, I have to go." "Rain check for tomorrow?" " I'll make it up, I promise." " Okay." "GOSSIP GIRL:" "Well, well, well, Lonely Boy." "Maybe dating and dumping Serena wasn't such a bad idea." "Looks like it's time to give you a new nickname." "How about Playboy?" "LAUREL:" "People." "People, I'm worried." "Eleanor returns next week and we are still behind." "I have to go to that party this weekend." "I won't be around, and neither will you." "So you better get twice as much work done today or you will regret it." "GOSSIP GIRL:" "As for little J, looks like this summer has been all work and no play." "You can't be finished." "There's no way you could possibly be finished." "Don't you do anything when you leave here, Jenny?" "Actually, I was hoping I could show you something I've been working on." "This isn't school." "I don't look at your work." "I was an intern once too." "It gets better." " What is that?" " It's a dress I made for the White Party." "For the VitaminWater party?" "Who invited you?" "Lace." "It's not even white, it's bone." "It's way too big for you, don't you know how to fit?" "It's huge." "Well, it's not actually for me, it's for you." "I'm not going to the party, so..." "Oh, so you thought I might wear some Holly Hobbie frock made by an intern, so that when I get photographed, your work ends up in W?" "If I'm gonna wear a custom anything it's gonna matter." "GIRL:" "Here's what you asked for, Laurel." "Since you did so well with repairing the trim on the dead stock, match these up." "Oh, and put that away." "Eggshell gives me a migraine." "[MOUTHING] I'm sorry." "I guess now is as good a time as any to order dinner." " You want Indian?" " Oh, it's too hot for Indian." "How about Popsicles?" "Hey, where's Mom?" "She and Alex had tickets to South Pacific." "What, more homework?" " Finish your story yet?" " Almost." "Good." "I'm hoping by reading it I can figure out why you and Serena broke up anyway." "Yeah." "Yeah, me too." "Hey, Jen, I'm gonna head out and get some food." "I'll be back in a bit." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "This is the first I've seen you look in the mirror." "Here I thought if you did, you'd turn to stone." "Must be nervous about something if you're willing to take that risk." "Ha-ha, sis." "I'm on my way out to Lily Pond." "With the triplets returning to Rio I thought I'd continue my tour of South America." " I'm thinking Argentina." " Then what are the flowers for?" "You wouldn't perhaps have overheard a call with a certain best friend of mine who mentioned she was on her way out here on the Jitney?" " What's a jitney?" " Lf you're saying no, I'm glad to hear it." "Because Blair will never forgive you for what you did." " Who told you that piece of advice, Nate?" " Nate didn't say anything." "I don't think it's wise taking advice from somebody in a fake relationship." "Call me crazy." "Enjoy another night alone with your thoughts." "Good luck on your suicide mission." "GOSSIP GIRL:" "Spotted:" "Chuck Bass, waiting for the Jitney." "A dozen roses in one hand, his heart in the other." "You know what they say:" "A man is a good thing to come home for but an even better thing to come home with." "Ain't karma a bitch?" "We know Blair Waldorf is." "You didn't do anything all summer?" "Don't tell me you sat around watching The Closer and eating Nick  Toni's takeout." " No." "Della Femina." "What about all those rumors I heard about you and Nate?" "Completely untrue." "They got people off my back about being sad and Nate could do what he wanted." "It worked." "You're telling me you didn't have any fun with anyone all summer?" "Well, there was this hot lifeguard that asked me out, but I turned him down." "Wha...?" "Are you crazy?" "A hot lifeguard is like Kleenex." "Use once and throw away." "You couldn't ask for better." "I don't think I'm ready." "I still miss Dan sometimes." "More than sometimes." "All the time." "Only thing lamer than dating Dan Humphrey is mourning Dan Humphrey." "Only reason you're still sitting shiva is you haven't had your summer fling." "Yeah, the triplets esquerda'd." "But not before teaching me some Portuguese tongue twisters." "I'll see you." "James is the classiest guy I've ever met, you know?" "He drinks gin martinis and he speaks six languages and he gave me this amazing Bulgari pearl choker with a gold B clasp on it." "I thought your dad gave you that." "Who's James?" "Oh, my God, B. He sounds amazing." "The last time we talked, you hadn't even met him." "Oh, I know." "He swept me off my feet he's so charming." "Plus, he tells the best stories." " You're lying." " I am not." " Your eyes don't match your mouth." " I wasn't aware that robots got jealous." "Did they update your software?" "Come on." "You and I both know this guy's just a prop you bought to try to hurt me like I hurt you." "You didn't hurt me." "Well, I will admit, waiting for you in Tuscany the first few days were mildly humiliating." "When I realized you weren't gonna show, I rallied." "Luckily, I made a friend on the trip over." "Boring Ben, my dad's ex-employee?" "By the way, I had him fired just for you." "Well, I owe him everything." "He introduced me to James." " He might be the one." " Prove it." "I don't have to prove anything." "If you wanna get to know James, I'll bring him to dinner." "I'll bet you'll like him as much as I do." "Oh, and if by that you mean I won't like him at all, then you're right." "I'll see you at 7." "BLAIR:" "Now, how about we go find that lifeguard?" "But we have to stop at Nate's first." "He has something of mine that I need." "JENNY [ON PHONE]:" "Hey, how's Vermont?" "Great." "Vanessa and her parents were at last night's gig." "Didn't know she was here." "When I asked how Dan was doing, she didn't answer." "I'd hoped maybe she could help him get over Serena this summer." "I don't think Dan needs any help, and I think Vanessa noticed." "He still dating up a storm?" "Well, if you call a different girl every night dating." "I'm a little worried about him, Dad." " Is he there?" " He's sleeping." " He was out late." " Call me when he wakes up." "You haven't told me how the dress went." "Yeah, it's over." "Laurel doesn't wanna wear it to the party." " Well, why don't you wear it?" " As nice as it is you encouraging me to get my designs out the White Party is super-exclusive." "Summer interns do not get to go." "Last year, they turned away Jack Johnson." " Sounds like a party with taste." " Dad." "And the kind the van der Woodsens would go to." " Have you asked Eric about it?" " That might be a little awkward considering the last conversation we had." "I sort of said some things I shouldn't have." "Maybe I should've come with you." "Eleanor's been in Paris, like, the entire time and Laurel's been so worried about everything." "What if it was a waste?" "It's not a waste if there's time to change it." "Maybe you should start with Eric and then go from there." "Thanks, Dad." "See you Sunday?" " You know it." " Okay." "Bye." "JOE:" "Not today, kid." " It's all right, Joe, he's with me." "Sorry to interrupt you working." "You wouldn't be if you'd shown up on time." "You're here empty-handed?" "All I need is one more day." "What, the last 60 weren't enough?" " I'm sorry, sir, but I..." " Don't sit." "You're not staying." "You told me you were serious about writing." "I know." "I tried to write, I did." "Every time I sat down, there was something in the way." "I couldn't focus." "Excuses are for the unemployed, of which you are now one." "If you won't work, neither will I." "You'll get no letter of recommendation from me." "Working for you is very important." "And yet your actions have illustrated only the opposite." "Drop my spare key in the mail." "That, I'm sure, you have time to do." "[PHONE RINGING]" "If it's apology time, you're months late." " Eric, wait." " And let me guess, you want something." "Yeah." "You're right." "Does it help that the new me answered honestly?" "Not really." "Look, I know I acted like a complete and total raging bitch last year but what you don't know is how bad I felt about it all summer." "You were the one person that was friends with me for me, and I hurt you the worst." "Well, you did get yours in the end." "Since it's not like I have many friends, I guess I could use every lying manipulating, backstabbing one I can get." "What'd you have in mind?" "Well, do you happen to be in the Hamptons right now?" "[CAR HORN HONKING]" "Oh, a honk instead of a knock." "Did someone order a townie?" "SERENA:" "Oh, God." "The lifeguard's got a Camaro." "And not in an ironic "I've-got-a-Camaro" way." "Just go already." "Luck." "Yeah, you too." "If anybody asks, I'm out with Nate, okay?" "Still don't understand what that's about, but okay." " Where is he tonight, anyway?" " I don't know." "Bye." "I'm sorry I couldn't see you all day." "It just got away from me." "I wish the summer wasn't ending." "I forgot how much fun it is." "Lots of people have affairs that last year-round." "Yeah, but I can't get caught." "I can be really sneaky." "Sneaky is cute at your age." "A couple decades later, not so much." "Can we talk about this later?" "If I'm so cute, let's talk about this now." "Why don't I do something that shuts you up?" "So, James, did you have a chance to meet Harold and...?" " What is his boyfriend's name, again?" " Roman?" "Only briefly, at the chateau." "Although the cat didn't seem to like me nearly as much." " I have the scars to prove it." " You have crammed an awful lot into such a short time." "I wonder, has Blair had a chance to share her favorite movies with you yet?" "Tiffany's, Roman Holiday and, of course, Charade." "I thought it was Funny Face." "It is." "I hate Charade." "Chuck, stop harassing him." "How Well Do You Know Blair Waldorf is boring for those of us who actually know Blair Waldorf." " Not to mention transparent." " Thank you, Grandma." "Why is it when you say that word, it sounds like an insult?" "No, no, I don't mind." "I would like to learn as much as I can about Blair and there's no better way to learn than through a quiz." "It's a shame you guys took a bus and not a limo." "I don't know if you know, but Blair loves a limo." "Sweetie, will you please pass me the salt and pepper?" "Excuse me." "I think I just lost my appetite." "Will you excuse me?" "Chuck." "Look, I know what that pin means to you." "You gave it to Nate the first time you said you loved him." "Well, I asked for it back." "I thought James should have it now." "Do you really feel the same way about him as you did Nate?" "I do." "I'll see you at school." "Oh, my goodness." "My pin must have gotten caught on your sweater by mistake." " Oh, well, I didn't feel anything." " Neither did I." "Well, Nathaniel, you have a choice:" "Under the bed or out the window." " What?" " My husband just pulled up." "Your husband?" "He wasn't supposed to be home till next week." "Seems he's home early." "LIFEGUARD:" "Whoa." "SERENA:" "Nate?" "CATHERINE:" "Honey, you're home early." " The hell's his deal?" " I have no idea." "Damn that mother-Chucker." "He's totally right." "I don't even like James." " Thank you, I was waiting for that." " I only hooked up with him a week ago because I couldn't get off the plane alone." "And it would kill me if Chuck knew he'd ruined my summer." "Oh, B, I'm so sorry." "Was it really bad?" "I would be in my cabana at the Hotel du Cap, and there he would be." "Amid all the fireworks on Bastille Day, all I could see was that Chuck Bass-tard." "The limo's taking me back." "You're welcome to join me." "You're not going to the White Party?" "Pretty girls in white dresses." "Unless there's a sprinkler, I don't care." "Besides, it's tourist season in the city." "Easy pickings." "Okay, and I don't want Blair throwing her call boy in my face." "I could've gotten a more interesting stand-in than James." "You know how hard it is to find a good fake boyfriend?" "He was smart and fun at tea yesterday, and he's really cute too." "You don't have to lie anymore, Serena." "He served his purpose." "Now that Chuck is on his way back to the city I can dump James in time to go to the White Party stag." "How was your date, by the way?" "After a few hours with that guy, I needed lifesaving, not guarding." "Baby steps, ma chérie, baby steps." "By the way, now that the summer's over I can tell you I never believed any of the talk that you hit it with my sis." " Good morning, Waldorf." " It was until now." " Nate, why didn't you call me back?" " I can't talk about that here." "So where's Princeton?" "Surprised you let him get away." "James goes to Georgetown." "I don't lose something if I let it out of my sight." "Told me your secret girlfriend was older, I thought college." "Catherine's married." "I don't know where you've been, but your boy toy's a Princeton man." "We talked about it while you played dress-up with Serena." " Catherine ended it with me." " What?" "Tell me." "You misheard." "He's always going on about his crew division and his eating club." "It's Georgetown all the way." " I know he said Princeton." " Georgetown." " Princeton." " Georgetown." "Serena, let's go." "Well, I'm glad to hear you're not seeing Catherine anymore." "We can talk later." "Eric, it's me." "You were at dinner." "What college does Blair's consort go to?" "Yeah, well, that's not what he told Blair." "Do some research, junior." "I'm in the mood to be right." "[SIGHS]" "I can't believe that I get a job working for my literary idol and he cans me." "I did everything." "Picking up dry cleaning, keeping him sober before noon which was the hardest thing I've ever done." " Harder than finishing that story?" " I just couldn't write it." "Don't know why." "You're talking to a guy who couldn't finish a new song in 12 years." "I get it." "What is the story about?" "The dissolution of a relationship between two people." " Science fiction, huh?" " Yeah." "Well, if I can offer some fatherly advice from 300 miles away..." "I haven't finished because I haven't dealt with the way I ended it with Serena?" "Couldn't have said it better myself." "Even if you had let me." "I've tried not to think about her." "I was afraid if I did, that I would see that I made a huge mistake." "So I've been trying to distract myself the best I can." "Been running all summer." "Maybe it's time you stopped and you turned around and faced it." "ERIC:" "Not only did James not go to Princeton he didn't go to Georgetown." "In fact, I couldn't find a record of him at any of the big schools." "When did you become Sherlock Holmes?" " So you think James is..." " An untalented Mr. Ripley?" "If you want entrée to the upper class, there's no easier mark than a wronged woman." "It's time to call in the big guns." "Mike." "I need a background check." "He's got a PI on speed dial." "SERENA:" "Nate." " I know that face." "It is not your friend." "My grandmother informed me you told her I'm your date to the White Party." "If things are over with Catherine, why do I still need to be your cover?" "Huh?" "James the past six days have been exactly what I needed them to be." " Me too." "And there's something I've..." " Me first." "[PHONE RINGS]" "Sorry." "What is it?" "What did you wanna say?" "I just wanted to ask if you'd like to come to the White Party." "Sure." "That'd be great." "I know I shouldn't have used you again after our conversation this morning." "You have feelings for her." "But let's just be honest about why you wanna go tonight." " You wanna check out the competition." " No, I just..." "I wanna see her and her husband together." "Just once." "That's called checking out the competition." "Which is stupid and potentially dangerous, Nate." "Yeah, you're right." "But since I've been stupid and dangerous in the past, I'm not one to talk, am I?" "It was probably gonna be an uneventful evening anyway." "[CHUCKLES]" "Pick me up at 5?" "GOSSIP GIRL:" "Sometimes the stars align for two old friends to come together." "But sometimes they align for two old flames to totally combust." "Hey, 14 Sandpiper Lane." "You go there?" "All right." "Wonder what the sky holds for S tonight." "Friendship or fireworks?" "[PEOPLE LAUGHING]" "Hey." "Thanks again for giving me another chance." "Thanks for being worthy of it." " You know you're on probation, right?" " Yeah." "LAUREL:" "You guys all look great." "I just..." "SERENA:" "You look great." "Come over and say hi." "MAN:" "All right, bye." "Can you excuse me a moment?" "GIRL:" "I love your dress." "You trying to ruin my marriage?" "Get me drunk." "Absolutely." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "Daniel Humphrey." "I can honestly say I'm surprised." " Is Serena here?" " No." "She's gone to a party I'm quite late for myself." "Oh, could you please?" "Oh, yeah." "Sure." "Yeah, if you really want me to." "[DAN CLEARS THROAT]" "DAN:" "There you go." " Thank you." "You seem..." "I don't know, You seem different." "Well, certain things are in remission, Mr. Humphrey." "Not the least of which is my attitude." "Going through something like I did changes you." " You can see things differently." " Yeah?" "Like what?" "The keys to someone else's happiness are not necessarily the same ones as for your own." "Serena thinks she had me fooled this summer, but I know the truth." "You are still in her heart." "Yeah." "Are you sure I'm at the right house?" "[CHUCKLES]" "This party that you're about to take me to it has a very strict dress code." "And all of that is just saying what I wanted to talk to you about earlier is that my feelings for you have deepened and I can't help thinking that what I've done is something so terrible, so inappropriate..." " You're so funny." " I'm sorry." " I could listen to you all day." " Did I say something funny?" " Hi, VitaminWater?" " You bet." "What kind would you like?" " Rescue, please." " Okay." " Make that two." " You got it." "So, Jenny, how did you manage to get in, and in that dress?" "I checked, and your name's not on the list and they said you were someone's plus one." "I told them someone like you couldn't possibly know anyone here." "Oh, look." "Here's someone I know coming right now." "Jenny, this is Tinsley Mortimer, a friend of my mom's." "Tinsley, this is my friend Jenny I told you about, and that's Laurel." " It's so nice to meet you, Jenny." " It's nice to meet you too." "I have a look book of photos from magazines that I cut out and you're in, like, all of them." "You have amazing taste." "That is so sweet." "Thank you." "Eric said you're an aspiring designer." "Are you wearing one of your own pieces?" "Yeah." "As a matter of fact, I am." "BLAIR:" "Is something wrong?" " You've been using me." " I have not." "It's no wonder you hate Charade." "It hits too close to home." "You don't understand." "Chuck is an awful person." "He does terrible things." "He uses people." "And you think you're any different?" "I can't believe I've been so stupid." " I bet you don't even like me at all." " No, not really." "I mean, you're kind of boring." "Am I?" "Or are you just too interested in yourself to get to know me?" "You two deserve each other." "You really know how to hurt people." "I admire you for it." "This is all your fault." "I would've never needed a James if you hadn't stood me up." "You made me use him." "I didn't make you do anything." "You were just you." "Don't you see?" "We're the same." "Stop trying to fight it." "I will fight until my last dying breath, because any resemblance to you is something I would hate about myself." "Come on." "Cheer up, Charlie." "What are you still doing here?" "What did she just say to you?" "She asked me what I'm still doing here." "Oh, that's it." "She's officially not invited to book club next summer." "I don't even know what I was thinking." "No, don't feel bad." "It's her fault for getting things started with you." "Oh, I know, but it was stupid." "I just wish I could make her feel as badly as I feel right now." "You totally can." "[BOTH LAUGHING]" "Wow." "GOSSIP GIRL:" "Spotted:" "Serena and Nate in a massive display of PD A." "Of course." "And that's exactly what Dan Humphrey is:" "Pretty damn angry." " No, no, no." "Dan, Dan, Dan, wait." " No, thank you." "No, I didn't expect to see you." "You completely surprised me." "Well, I have to say, you didn't." " Nate?" "Even bad history repeats itself." " No, it's not what it looked like." " Let me guess." "There's an explanation?" " Yes, of course." " I was trying to make someone jealous." " Who?" " Well, I can't say." " Why not?" "I'm sure you can't tell me." " No, I can't, but that's not the point." " No, that's exactly the point." "Never a simple answer." "Can't just be "I kissed Nate."" "It has to be " Someone I can't name needed to see it for a reason I can't explain." It's the same drama, different city." " Hi." "What are you doing here?" " I came with a date." "Glad I did." "Since I know her date, the two of us got to meet." "We got to talking, we figured out that the night at Harris' reading when you were making out with me..." "You were supposed to be with me." "Oops." "[SERENA CLEARS THROAT]" "Wait, no, no, no, let me guess." "You can explain." " What are you doing?" " Why did you kiss Serena?" "You said we were through." "I can't believe you would try to make me jealous in front of my husband." " Well, did it work?" " Completely." "So I went a little overboard." " A little?" " Yeah, it's true." "I did." "And I hate that I'm even able to say this, but that's..." "That's not the first time that something like that has happened." "I..." "I haven't been able to get you out of my head all summer." "I was hoping, when I saw you, I would know that we did the right thing." "But I don't feel that way." "I don't feel that way at all." "Can we not talk about this right now?" "Right now I just need to make sure my grandfather's suit isn't ruined." "Yeah." "More than it already was by being my grandfather's suit from the'70s." "[BOTH LAUGH]" "I missed that little laugh of yours." "Just..." "Shh." "Okay." "GOSSIP GIRL:" "When words get in the way, there's really only one thing left to do." " You wanna get out of here?" " Yes." "I just have to say goodbye to a few dozen people first." " Do you want to...?" " I'll meet you at the beach." "Okay." "[SIGHS]" "You were right." "I used you as a weapon against Chuck." "I didn't need you to be interesting, so I didn't listen when you talked." "I just needed you to look good." "Which you do." "[PHONE RINGS]" "Just in time." "What's the dirt on non-James Schiller?" "I'm afraid we have something in common." " Oh, I look good too?" " Not just that." "It's what I was trying to tell you earlier." "I haven't been honest with you." "Okay, spill it." "I don't go to Georgetown or Princeton, or any school, for that matter." "I'm afraid I slipped up on that detail." "My name is actually Marcus Beaton." "I'm British." "And a lord." "What?" "Why didn't you tell me before?" "Most women I meet only like me for my title." "I vowed the next time to pretend to be American and see what happened." "But after a couple of days with you, I was afraid if I told you the truth you'd hate me for lying in the first place." "No, not quite, milord." "The title is great and all, but what I'd like more than anything is a little honesty for a change." "From both of us." "When you told me I was boring before?" "No one ever tells me things like that." "I liked it." "Now, tell me..." "Oh, what else do you think about me?" "Keep talking in that accent, and I'll come up with something." "So I hear Tinsley offered to help you find an internship if you want one." "Yeah, she did." "I said thanks, but I'm learning a lot where I am right now." "I didn't think it was right to leave just yet." "Well, enjoy the rest of your weekend, Jenny." "I'll see you Monday?" "I look forward to it." " Do you think she meant that?" " Probably not." "But at least she knows my name now, right?" "Chuck." "Aren't you done trying to destroy my night?" "I should never have abandoned you." "I knew I made the wrong decision soon as your plane took off." "Distracted myself all summer, hoping I wouldn't feel it, but I still do." " And?" " I was scared." "Scared that if we spent the whole summer together, just us then you'd see." " See what?" " Me." "Please don't leave with him." "Why?" "Give me a reason, and "I'm Chuck Bass" doesn't count." "Because you don't want to." " Not good enough." " I don't want you to." "It's not enough." "What else is there?" "The true reason I should stay right where I am and not get in the car." "Three words." "Eight letters." "Say it and I'm yours." "I..." "I..." "Thank you." "That's all I needed to hear." "GOSSIP GIRL:" "They say summer love is fleeting." "But sometimes, what starts as a fling can lead to the real thing." "A simple trip to the beach could be all it takes to clear our heads and open our hearts and write a new ending to an old story." "There are those who got burned by the heat." "They just wanna forget and start over." "While there are others who want each moment to last forever." "But everyone can agree on one thing:" "Tans fade, highlights go dark, and we all get sick of sand in our shoes." "But the end of summer is the beginning of a new season so we find ourselves looking to the future." "You ain't seen nothing yet." "XOXO, Gossip Girl."
