"But first, um, serena," "You should probably get to patrick's" "Before fedex does with more scripts." "Good-Bye." "Okay." "Bye." "S. I hope you're not here looking for an apology." "No, i was just dropping something off to olivia." "Oh, that's right." "I momentarily forgot your job" "Is more important than your friends." "I have a couple minutes." "Do you want to get a latte?"

"We've been going nonstop, prepping" "For tripp van der bilt's election party tonight." "Speaking of which, i noticed you're not on the guest list." "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." "Since your boyfriend's working the party," "Who are you going with, one of your knockoffs?" "Since you're so interested, i have made real friends here." "I just don't share your need to brag."

"This is nate." "Leave a message." "I'm just saying, if this morning's polls" "Put you neck and neck with sullivan," "Then there's still time, so 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." "(Vanessa) so it's election day." "Who are you voting for?" "hey!" "Someone's drowning over here!" "Call 9-1-1!" "help!" "I can't swim!" "Help!" "I'm drowning!" "It look like tripp's prayers have been answered" "With another miracle on the hudson." "Are the van der blits blessed with good luck or good timing?"

"I've locked down coverage from every local station" "For the midday news." "Time to call couric." "She owes me a favor." "Maybe she can squeeze tripp into the evening news." "Excuse me, grandfather." "Can i speak with you for a moment?" "Zogby has them neck and neck." "Rasmussen puts him up by a point." "(Laughs) tripp, that's fantastic." "Remember, until the polls close, any time someone mentions" "The name tripp van der bilt," "It should be followed by the word "hero."" "(Lowered voice) well, i guess miracles do happen," "Huh, grandfather?" "Our family is really blessed." "So is that man who almost died." "(Woman) william, can you take a look at this?" "Absolutely." "No, thank you." "Thank you so, so much." "Hey." "My rescue footage is gonna be on the news tonight." "William told me to go out and drum up some interest," "And it looks like i'm the only one who got it all on tape." "Congratulations." "Have you seen nate?" "Yeah." "He's over there." "Tell him bye for me." "I've gotta go home and get my tapes together." "Okay." "What are you doing here?" "I-I left you a message." "Y-You never called me back." "Yeah, well, as you can see, i've been sort of busy." "And i really 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 tonight." "What?" "Are you kidding me?" "Nate, my job is at stake." "Oh, 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." "Well, 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-I voted for you." "Thanks." "You coming tonight?" "Absolutely." "I wouldn't miss it." "Thanks, nate." "tripp, can i get you to sign off on this?" "Washington square park, bobst library, bar none." "I even tried spinning the cube in st." "Mark's place," "But not a friend in sight." "I just know this wouldn't be so 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." "Very smart to pair it 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." "Well, give me those peep toes and maybe i'll believe you." "Sorry." "My alexandre birmans are sacred." "Amen." "By the way, i'm brandeis." "How would you like to come with me to a fabulous party tonight?" ""Mat." Are you joking?" "Oh, not in the least." "It's going on the end of "door,"" "Which makes it a triple word score, scrabble bitches." "That's my son." "Wow." "The humphreys are--Are so serious" "About their scrabble games." "Oh, yeah." "you two are so sweet to come over and entertain jenny." "Poor thing." "Well, she's been cooped up with this virus for a week." "I mean, when she called, how could we resist?" "Yeah." "Th-Thank you guys so much." "Really getting sick of, uh, tv and internet." "Oh, i need a s.A.R.S. Mask." "Um, can i-- Can i borrow your phone?" "Yeah, go ahead." "I keep leaving mine in the dorm." "that's 33." "A whopping 33 points." "(Rufus) "jetdoorman"-- Is that a word?" "(Dan) don't you mean "jetdoormat"?" "(Rufus) oh, jetdoormat." "(Dan) s.A.R.S. Mask!" "(Vanessa) so it's election day." "Who are you voting for?" "I don't know." "That's a good question." "You know, i'm not really sure" "Who i'm gonna vote for." "He's awfully young." "(Video rewinds)" "(Clicking key) you know, i'm not really" "What?" "...sure who i'm gonna vote for." "He's awfully 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?" "No, it's a remake of "leaving las vegas."" "They want to redo it with a younger cast." "Where did you get those scripts?" "In the garbage." "I'm telling you, this one's amazing." "Care to join me in a little research?" "No." "No research." "Your team has been pushing very hard for the political one." "And i have worked my butt off to get you into this party tonight." "Yeah, but miley cyrus is already signed on" "To play the elisabeth shue role." "They must've seen her on that pole at the t.C.A.S. Okay, 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." "Uh, this couldn't wait?" "Honestly, no." "And i thought it'd be better" "To talk away from the campaign chaos." "Mm." "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-- I think it was set up." "that's ridiculous." "I have it all on tape." "Well, has anyone else seen the footage?" "No, but i-I already agreed to sell it to new york 1," "And i'm going to meet caroline lowe," "One of the producers, at cafeteria." "Whoa." "Wait." "Vanessa, if you do that, then-- Nate, 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-- Can you just wait?" "I wish i could, but this is not" "Some high school thing with blair and the mean girls." "This is someone running for public office, nate." "Yeah, but there's gotta be some sort of an explanation." "Someone set tripp up to look like a hero," "And i think we both know the person most likely" "To orchestrate something like that is your grandfather." "(Sighs) 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 a strategy" "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, uh, 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, my god." "Hello." "Thank you so much." "See?" "Isn't this great?" "You've got the--The perfect capitol hill vibe." "i gotta hit the can." "Okay." "He's great." "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 blonde in proenza schouler" "Talking to those high-Profile politicians?" "That's my best friend brandeis." "She knows most of them personally." "Oh, that's great." "I mean, political connections" "Aren't the first thing most people look for in friends." "They must really love her," "Because when she introduced us, they seemed thrilled to meet me." "They even asked if we were sisters." "Well, i can't wait for you to meet patrick." "He's over at the bar, getting me a drink right now." "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 could swear "squiffy's" a word." "scrabble dictionary." "Bathroom boy?" "All right, you know our next guest" "From the "endless knights" movie franchise" "Please welcome the lovely olivia burke, everybody!" "She's cute."

"So who did you end up selling the footage to?" "My office just 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?" "Finally." "It's your turn." "Oh, you know what?" "I just realized i have" "An, uh, environmental studies paper due tomorrow." "Oh, wait." "Um, i'll just get my stuff." "No, 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?" "(Elevator bell dings)" "That is so not the humphrey way." "My computer." "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?" "looking for your boyfriend?" "Uh, no." "He's probably getting mobbed by fans right now." "He's--He's just still on the way 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 his suite." "What?" "Why?" "He's bombed." "He's drunker than paula abdul during hollywood week." "are you really that jealous that he's here with me?" "Look, s., you know wasted better than most of us," "Having been in that state so many times yourself." "I guess you just met your match." "But since i just found out that your date is really work," "You may want to play 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, and he goes to the bathroom." "Yes." "He comes back..." "well, it was-- It was our first date," "And he goes to the restroom and when he comes back," "His--His shirt was on inside out." "Uh, uh, check, please." "No." "That's where you go right there." "That's when you get out." "That's when you have to leave, yes." "Really?" "No, i find out later that on the way" "Into the bathroom, he's walked into a spiderweb," "And the spider crawled inside his shirt." "Yeah, the old-- The old spider excuse." "(Laughter) yeah, we've all used that one before." "Yeah, the old "oh, a spider came down on my shirt," "And that's why i had to take my shirt off and"" "Okay, that-- Yeah, i believe that." "Yeah, i would believe that one." "And--And now are you still dating bathroom boy or..." "jimmy." "Or are--Was he arrested?" "I don't know." "You know what?" "Tomorrow is our 1-Month anniversary." "(Audience) aw!" "Oh, oh, my gosh." "Well, congratulations." "Yeah." "Yeah, it's big." "In--In honor--In honor, i'll be taking my clothes off" "In the bathroom and then redressing myself."

"it went to voice mail." "Hey." "Um, 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, what?" "(Water running) 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?" "Come on, nate." "You're the only one who knew" "I had a meeting to sell that footage." "I had to protect tripp." "I came to you first, as a friend." "Don't be so self-Righteous." "You were only selling the footage" "To further your own career." "That is not true." "Oh, so you're saying you weren't excited to see your name" "Flash on every television in manhattan?" "You know what, nate?" "I'll let you know how that feels" "In just a minute." "What does that mean?" "(Man) hey." "Hey, everybody,quiet down for a second. ...with breaking news." "We are just now getting reports that firsthand footage" "Of the hudson river rescue reveals tripp van der bilt's" "Heroic act might not have been so heroic." "It seems after close inspection" "Of the footage taken at the time, it's apparent" "The man deliberately went into the hudson river... (Gossip girl)the polls are closed," "And gossip girl is calling this election dirty." "It remains to be seen" "Who exactly is responsible for this hoax." "Someone in the van der bilt camp?" "Maybe the candidate himself?" "But news of this breaking..." "grandfather." "...effect it'll have on the 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 actually 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 out there" "And take responsibility for this, then i will" "By stepping out of the race." "I'm not gonna go stand in front of those 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 going to announce my official withdrawal." "I just have to tell maureen first." "I know i'm an enemy of the state right now." "Guy the i use to cell am my friend" "Had a moral compass." "Well, right now i'm thinking i'm just gonna go for my master's," "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, uh, student, like brandeis?" "No, i'm just a regular old working girl." "Really?" "And--And do you two work together?" "Because maybe the three of us-- Uh, congressman, you've been campaigning a little too hard." "Let me guess-- You want to go upstairs" "And see if two blondes make a right?" "Uh, 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 of the family, what do you have to say" "About the allegation" "That tripp van der bilt's heroism might have been staged?" "Uh, i say i'm a businessman, not a politician." "Fine, so 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 go 'cause they want to see russell crowe throw a hissy." "Anyway, nothing happens at the empire without my say-So." "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." "(Scoffs) you're ridiculous." "Brandeis is not a call girl." "She's a psych major." "Who on earth 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, actually, i'm just looking out for chuck and nate." "I doubt chuck would want a prostitute at his hotel," "Especially at this party." "You don't get it." "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 an outlet mall." "Chuck, you'll never believe what serena did." "She had my friend kicked out of the party." "(Chuckles) the call girl?" "Security just told me." "W--No, no." "I promise you, brandeis is not an escort." "Serena's just trying to get even with me." "Look, i don't know what's going on here," "But if the girl's still here, i'll find her" "And get to the bottom of it, okay?" "Thank you, chuck." "And 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." "(Gossip girl) 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 van der bilt's cousin." "And i know there's a lot of buzz going around" "About what exactly 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 van der bilt," "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." "Yeah." "Why do you think she did that?" "I'm not sleeping with patrick." "You, of all people, know what a prostitute does." "The reason blair attacked you is because she misses you." "Don't tell me after 18 years, you can't read waldorf subtext." "I shouldn't have to." "If that's what she's feeling, then she should tell me." "It is time for her to grow up." "This coming from someone" "Who just pushed their 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" "Then make up an hour later on the met steps." "You tell her that." "I'm telling you." "And you should be 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." "Yeah." "All it said was-- "Maybe we should talk"" "And so i just came right away." "I'm sorry about fallon." "Up till now, my publicist would decide everything for me" "What i'd talk about during interviews" "And even script exactly what i would say." "And just this one time, i wanted to just... be myself" "And--And go out there and be me, and i... i bombed." "What?" "No, you didn't." "No." "No, it was funny, really." "And then 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--What is this?" "You want to know the truth about our--Our first date?" "There was no spider."
