Well, you have to learn. 34 00:01:33,164 --> 00:01:37,767 How else are you gonna visit me at Columbia? Why do you think god gave us car service? 35 00:01:37,768 --> 00:01:39,469 Our schools are at opposite poles of Manhattan. 36 00:01:39,470 --> 00:01:41,601 I mean, in traffic, it could take hours. 37 00:01:41,602 --> 00:01:45,306 The subway's definitely the quickest way. Please don't ask this of me. 38 00:01:46,877 --> 00:01:49,109 (Scoffs) 39 00:01:53,744 --> 00:01:55,745 (Rufus) Anything you want, Dan. 40 00:01:55,746 --> 00:01:57,747 You're graduating high school...

Any one you want. 44 00:02:07,258 --> 00:02:11,261 Dad, what's with this newfound interest in antiquing? Oh, I'm just stimulating the economy 45 00:02:11,262 --> 00:02:12,902 by rewarding my fantastic kids, 46 00:02:12,903 --> 00:02:15,805 and it so happens that the, uh, gallery was a great investment. 47 00:02:15,806 --> 00:02:19,409 It's listing for three times what I paid for. You didn't get soaked 48 00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:22,742 when the real estate bubble burst? Well, it's not as much as I would've gotten 49 00:02:22,743 --> 00:02:24,714 at the top of the market, but I'll be able 50 00:02:24,715 --> 00:02:27,177 to send you both to school and have a little breathing room 51 00:02:27,178 --> 00:02:29,619 to figure out what I want to do next.

So being a kept man does have its perks. 68 00:03:11,822 --> 00:03:14,193 Yeah, but no man is worth suffering the indignity 69 00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,825 of mass transit. 70 00:03:15,826 --> 00:03:18,828 How's the foreigner?

I'd just like to never see her again. 206 00:09:46,056 --> 00:09:49,058 You know, when I first came to New York, 207 00:09:49,059 --> 00:09:50,890 I didn't know many people. 208 00:09:50,891 --> 00:09:53,623 And all the investors in my company are her contacts. 209 00:09:53,624 --> 00:09:57,166 And when she found out about us, she threatened to pull them. 210 00:09:57,167 --> 00:10:00,329 So I told her that you and I were over. 211 00:10:00,330 --> 00:10:03,973 If she found out the truth... 212 00:10:03,974 --> 00:10:06,977 I could lose...

The money she'll make, it'll cushion the blow. 233 00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:06,736 As long as it's not physical, 234 00:11:06,737 --> 00:11:07,997 then I... 235 00:11:07,998 --> 00:11:10,339 I guess I can live with it. 236 00:11:10,340 --> 00:11:12,942 But only for a week.

Well, I was hoping to never speak about this, 245 00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:53,042 but it might actually feel good to. 246 00:11:53,043 --> 00:11:54,944 Oh, hey, there you guys are. 247 00:11:54,945 --> 00:11:58,848 So have you told her about the ring yet? Ring? What ring? 248 00:11:58,849 --> 00:12:02,351 We caught our dad eyeing one yesterday. A ring ring? 249 00:12:02,352 --> 00:12:05,294 Oh, my god. Wait. This is good news, right? 250 00:12:05,295 --> 00:12:07,897 Well, I mean, he... he looked. He didn't buy. 251 00:12:07,898 --> 00:12:10,800 He chickened out. Why? Maybe because Jenny basically told him 252 00:12:10,801 --> 00:12:13,432 she'd never move in with the v.D.-Dubs. 253 00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:15,905 Okay, or he's worried about Dan having slept 254 00:12:15,906 --> 00:12:18,237 with his maybe stepsister. Well, I hope that's not it, 255 00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:19,809 'cause there's really zero chance 256 00:12:19,810 --> 00:12:21,971 of Serena and I ever getting back together. 257 00:12:21,972 --> 00:12:24,413 So you guys are okay with it. Yeah, well, it'd be weird... Dad marrying Lily. 258 00:12:24,414 --> 00:12:28,848 Sharing bunk beds with Chuck. (Laughs) Yeah, I mean, it would definitely be weird. 259 00:12:28,849 --> 00:12:30,179 But, I don't know, you should've seen dad yesterday. 260 00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:32,922 I mean, he was practically skipping. 261 00:12:32,923 --> 00:12:36,525 I don't think I've ever seen him this happy. I don't think I've ever seen anyone that happy. 262 00:12:36,526 --> 00:12:39,328 Then you should tell him you support him. 263 00:12:39,329 --> 00:12:41,490 No, that's not... That can't be right. 264 00:12:41,491 --> 00:12:44,934 That's not what we dis-discussed. That's, uh... Dad? 265 00:12:44,935 --> 00:12:49,939 Uh, no. No, no, no. No. Though... maybe not today. 266 00:12:49,940 --> 00:12:52,001 (Bell dings) 267 00:12:52,002 --> 00:12:54,403 (Anya Marina's "waters of march" playing) 268 00:12:54,404 --> 00:12:57,376 Let me get this straight.

He doesn't need proof, b., because I trust him. 275 00:13:12,362 --> 00:13:14,463 We have this amazing connection. 276 00:13:14,464 --> 00:13:17,466 Do you know he said he fell in love with me 277 00:13:17,467 --> 00:13:22,031 the first time he ever saw me? Oh, that is interesting, considering the fact 278 00:13:22,032 --> 00:13:26,205 that he was on vacation with his girlfriend. Actually, the first time he saw me was a year ago 279 00:13:26,206 --> 00:13:28,077 when I was out with Georgina. 280 00:13:28,078 --> 00:13:31,440 He busted me on my fake Southern accent. And what night was that? 281 00:13:31,441 --> 00:13:33,913 Don't tell me it was that night... 282 00:13:33,914 --> 00:13:37,416 That night that you blacked out and don't remember anything? 283 00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:40,419 He fell in love with you while you were roofied. 284 00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:43,252 How romantic. No, no, no. It wasn't like that. 285 00:13:43,253 --> 00:13:45,254 He said I was completely lucid. 286 00:13:45,255 --> 00:13:48,127 It must've been before Georgina drugged me. 287 00:13:48,128 --> 00:13:50,129 I just don't happen to remember it. 288 00:13:50,130 --> 00:13:52,101 Believe me, I had to learn the hard way. 289 00:13:52,102 --> 00:13:56,165 Trust is the most important thing in a relationship. And we have that. 290 00:13:56,166 --> 00:13:58,437 The way I trust Nate and he trusts me? 291 00:13:58,438 --> 00:14:01,540 Even though he may as well be going to school in Guam 292 00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:04,513 next year, I wouldn't worry if I can't find him 293 00:14:04,514 --> 00:14:07,446 because I know he'll always be true to me. I hope so, b. 294 00:14:07,447 --> 00:14:10,049 Because, no offense, but we both know that 295 00:14:10,050 --> 00:14:11,881 that hasn't always been the case. 296 00:14:11,882 --> 00:14:14,423 What are you saying... That Nate is in love with you? 297 00:14:14,424 --> 00:14:17,286 What are you saying... That Gabriel isn't? 298 00:14:17,287 --> 00:14:20,159 No. I'm just saying he's not gonna break up with Poppy. 299 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,562 Why would he? He's having her cake and eating yours, too. Okay, right. 300 00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:26,435 So... so both Nate and Chuck are obsessed with you, 301 00:14:26,436 --> 00:14:31,500 but my boyfriend can't stay faithful to me for seven days? No, that's... 302 00:14:31,501 --> 00:14:34,243 I love you. 303 00:14:34,244 --> 00:14:37,176 I just don't want to see you get hurt, okay? 304 00:14:37,177 --> 00:14:41,051 Go put that back on.

It's the market. 315 00:15:15,145 --> 00:15:17,216 That's why you were so upset earlier. 316 00:15:17,217 --> 00:15:19,288 Is there a plan "b"? 317 00:15:19,289 --> 00:15:21,290 Yeah, last year, after the tour, 318 00:15:21,291 --> 00:15:24,223 a music publishing company offered to buy 319 00:15:24,224 --> 00:15:26,125 the Lincoln hawk catalog. 320 00:15:26,126 --> 00:15:29,199 You're gonna sell your life's work? 321 00:15:31,401 --> 00:15:33,963 Yes. 322 00:15:33,964 --> 00:15:37,306 And, apparently, now that we're not touring, 323 00:15:37,307 --> 00:15:41,040 it isn't even worth what it was last year. 324 00:15:41,041 --> 00:15:45,244 You know, I stopped touring to spend time with my family. 325 00:15:45,245 --> 00:15:48,417 It turns out it might've been the worst thing 326 00:15:48,418 --> 00:15:51,681 I could've done for them. 327 00:15:53,583 --> 00:15:56,156 I'm sorry.
