1
00:00:03,734 --> 00:00:06,306
Into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.

2
00:00:06,307 --> 00:00:08,078
How have you never heard
of Olivia Burke?

3
00:00:08,079 --> 00:00:10,210
You know,
that "endless knights" series

4
00:00:10,211 --> 00:00:13,483
has made, like,
a billion dollars.
I have been dreaming
of coming to N.Y.U.

5
00:00:13,484 --> 00:00:16,646
And just being
a normal student.
This night is finally over,

6
00:00:16,647 --> 00:00:18,618
and as far as I'm concerned,
so are we.

7
00:00:18,619 --> 00:00:21,091
Where's your better half?
I don't know.
I was looking for her.

8
00:00:21,092 --> 00:00:23,493
Well, I can leave.
It's okay. Stay.

9
00:00:23,494 --> 00:00:25,495
I'm not sick.
Then what are you doing
home so early?

10
00:00:25,496 --> 00:00:27,097
Did something happen?
Ask Jenny.

11
00:00:27,098 --> 00:00:29,629
I'm still your friend.
I'm still your sister.

12
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:32,202
I just can't let the worlds
get confused.

13
00:00:32,203 --> 00:00:35,065
I want nothing to do with you
in either world.

14
00:00:35,066 --> 00:00:37,207
And who am I?

15
00:00:37,208 --> 00:00:40,740
That's a secret I'll never tell.

16
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:42,742
You know you love me.

17
00:00:42,743 --> 00:00:45,576
X.o.x.o., gossip girl.

18
00:00:47,348 --> 00:00:50,080
(Gossip girl) Have you been
so busy that you've forgotten

19
00:00:50,081 --> 00:00:53,683
what time of year it is?
Let me give you a hint...

20
00:00:53,684 --> 00:00:56,356
Couture, quadrilles
and cutthroat competition.

21
00:00:56,357 --> 00:00:58,388
That's right.

22
00:00:58,389 --> 00:01:01,561
It's time for cotillion.
This guy's a foot shorter
than me.

23
00:01:01,562 --> 00:01:02,832
Here's one that's 6'2".

24
00:01:02,833 --> 00:01:05,465
(Plastiscines' "bitch" playing)

25
00:01:05,466 --> 00:01:08,098
Yeah, and he goes to York.

26
00:01:08,099 --> 00:01:10,100
That's practically
public school.

27
00:01:10,101 --> 00:01:12,172
Have I not impressed
on you three

28
00:01:12,173 --> 00:01:13,743
how important tomorrow night is?

29
00:01:13,744 --> 00:01:16,676
It's my debut in society.
I have to be perfect,

30
00:01:16,677 --> 00:01:19,279
and that means having
the perfect escort.

31
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,081
I told you who I wanted.
We tried.

32
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:23,383
Well, try harder.

33
00:01:23,384 --> 00:01:25,385
Graham Collins
is the hottest guy

34
00:01:25,386 --> 00:01:27,157
on the Upper East Side.

35
00:01:27,158 --> 00:01:29,589
There's like this bubble
of perfection around him

36
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:31,821
that we can't penetrate.
Well, you better
figure out a way.

37
00:01:31,822 --> 00:01:34,695
Otherwise, tomorrow night
I'm taking one of your escorts.

38
00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:45,775
Just like the mob,
New York prep schools

39
00:01:45,776 --> 00:01:48,208
have their own five families.

40
00:01:48,209 --> 00:01:50,610
You may be the John gotti
of constance, little j.,

41
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:52,882
but that doesn't mean

42
00:01:52,883 --> 00:01:55,485
you'll ever be part
of this cosa nostra.

43
00:01:55,486 --> 00:01:57,817
♫ I'm a bitch
when I sing like this ♫

44
00:01:57,818 --> 00:01:59,749
Oh, my god.
Everyone's here.

45
00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:03,793
Come on. Let's go say hi.
♫ ...In disguise,
I'm a bitch ♫

46
00:02:03,794 --> 00:02:05,755
♫ i-t-c-itch ♫

47
00:02:05,756 --> 00:02:08,558
♫ I'm a bitch,
i-t-c-itch ♫

48
00:02:08,559 --> 00:02:12,602
(Singsong voice)
I have a surprise for you.

49
00:02:12,603 --> 00:02:15,605
In that case,
why are you still dressed?
That was yesterday.

50
00:02:15,606 --> 00:02:17,767
Today we're seeing
the kandinsky exhibit

51
00:02:17,768 --> 00:02:20,270
and having dinner at e.A.T.

52
00:02:20,271 --> 00:02:23,273
Well, I'd love to, but I think
you've forgotten

53
00:02:23,274 --> 00:02:25,515
today's Nate's move-in day.
We're celebrating

54
00:02:25,516 --> 00:02:28,618
with a lost weekend.
I never signed off
on a lost weekend.

55
00:02:28,619 --> 00:02:31,351
Do you really think
I wanna spend my weekend

56
00:02:31,352 --> 00:02:34,384
watching women with tramp stamps
work out their daddy issues?

57
00:02:34,385 --> 00:02:36,626
It's for Nate. Anyway,
you'll be busy with cotillion.

58
00:02:36,627 --> 00:02:38,628
Aren't you supposed
to be a mentor?

59
00:02:38,629 --> 00:02:41,591
And risk running into Serena?
No, thank you.

60
00:02:41,592 --> 00:02:43,593
Though it does kill me
to imagine

61
00:02:43,594 --> 00:02:45,665
those poor girls stumbling
along without my guidance.

62
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:48,268
Isn't it about time
you and Serena made up?

63
00:02:48,269 --> 00:02:50,670
You love cotillion.
You should be doing it together.

64
00:02:50,671 --> 00:02:53,373
Don't the festivities
begin tonight?

65
00:02:53,374 --> 00:02:55,375
There's a dinner
at the Van Der woodsens'

66
00:02:55,376 --> 00:02:56,776
for debs and mentors.

67
00:02:56,777 --> 00:02:59,509
But knowing Serena,
she'll probably flake.

68
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:03,483
Or she'll be waiting for you,
apology in hand, and really,

69
00:03:03,484 --> 00:03:05,485
a debutante ball
without Blair Waldorf

70
00:03:05,486 --> 00:03:08,418
is like a tour de France
without Lance Armstrong.

71
00:03:08,419 --> 00:03:10,920
I resent the comparison
to that man-whore.

72
00:03:10,921 --> 00:03:13,923
Though your other point
is well taken.

73
00:03:13,924 --> 00:03:17,297
I suppose the charitable thing
would be to give Serena

74
00:03:17,298 --> 00:03:20,930
the opportunity to beg
for forgiveness.

75
00:03:20,931 --> 00:03:24,604
Don't get too lost, bass.

76
00:03:24,605 --> 00:03:27,277
(Sighs)

77
00:03:27,278 --> 00:03:30,280
A lot of my responsibilities
from k.C.'S office

78
00:03:30,281 --> 00:03:32,282
would translate to this job...
Event planning,

79
00:03:32,283 --> 00:03:33,683
writing press releases.

80
00:03:33,684 --> 00:03:35,515
Okay.

81
00:03:35,516 --> 00:03:37,847
"Okay" as in
I have the job "okay"?

82
00:03:37,848 --> 00:03:39,549
(Chuckles) What?

83
00:03:39,550 --> 00:03:42,292
Just like that?
You make a good case.

84
00:03:42,293 --> 00:03:44,324
Also, I remember
our summer relay races

85
00:03:44,325 --> 00:03:46,256
at Nate's Hamptons house.

86
00:03:46,257 --> 00:03:51,431
Underneath that smile
is a heart of a killer.
Me? Need I remind you

87
00:03:51,432 --> 00:03:53,703
of the potato sack race incident
of '98?

88
00:03:53,704 --> 00:03:57,767
I still have evidence of
your unsportsmanlike behavior.
(Laughs)

89
00:03:57,768 --> 00:03:59,939
(Laughs) Although given
our new circumstances,

90
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:02,643
I maybe have to forgive you now.

91
00:04:03,944 --> 00:04:06,376
Um... I should, uh,
I should probably go.

92
00:04:06,377 --> 00:04:08,748
I, uh, I'm a mentor
at cotillion this year,

93
00:04:08,749 --> 00:04:12,682
and my mom asked me
to host a dinner at our house.

94
00:04:12,683 --> 00:04:15,385
Of course. Well, we're here
all day every day.

95
00:04:15,386 --> 00:04:17,527
But I'll see you Monday.

96
00:04:17,528 --> 00:04:19,629
Great.

97
00:04:19,630 --> 00:04:23,633
Thank you so much for asking me
to come in and interview.

98
00:04:23,634 --> 00:04:26,996
Our talk on election night
really meant a lot to me.

99
00:04:26,997 --> 00:04:28,739
Me, too.

100
00:04:36,377 --> 00:04:38,378
I didn't realize we were hiring.

101
00:04:38,379 --> 00:04:41,651
Could always use
another person, right?

102
00:04:41,652 --> 00:04:43,453
(Immoor's "bows and arrows"
playing)

103
00:04:43,454 --> 00:04:45,485
Do you think you can get
brain damage

104
00:04:45,486 --> 00:04:48,518
from learning too much too fast?
No.

105
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:50,990
You're the one who wanted
the real college experience,

106
00:04:50,991 --> 00:04:53,763
cramming for exams.
I know.

107
00:04:53,764 --> 00:04:56,496
Oh, my god. No way!

108
00:04:56,497 --> 00:04:59,329
Please tell me that Guinevere
will use the unholy grail

109
00:04:59,330 --> 00:05:02,372
to free Lancelot
from Arthur's eternal torture.
"Endless knights 4"?

110
00:05:02,373 --> 00:05:04,634
Why didn't you tell me?

111
00:05:04,635 --> 00:05:06,305
Because it's not happening.

112
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:08,307
Those rumors have been
going around forever.

113
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,540
But Warner Bros. Sent out
a press release.

114
00:05:10,541 --> 00:05:13,813
I'll never trust Harry Knowles
again.
(Whispers) Sorry, guys.

115
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:15,014
♫♫

116
00:05:15,015 --> 00:05:16,446
Weird.

117
00:05:16,447 --> 00:05:18,618
(Normal voice)
It's not happening.

118
00:05:18,619 --> 00:05:21,751
If it were true, I'd have
about a hundred phone calls

119
00:05:21,752 --> 00:05:24,524
about it by now.

120
00:05:24,525 --> 00:05:26,527
Crap.

121
00:05:27,628 --> 00:05:29,630
I'll be right back.

122
00:05:31,101 --> 00:05:34,404
I'm sure it's not true.

123
00:05:34,405 --> 00:05:37,467
Though it'd be kinda awesome.

124
00:05:37,468 --> 00:05:38,668
All right, debs,
enough socializing.

125
00:05:38,669 --> 00:05:40,670
Uh, we have a lot
to get through,

126
00:05:40,671 --> 00:05:43,473
so if you'll please find
your escorts

127
00:05:43,474 --> 00:05:46,446
and take your places...
Um, Lily,

128
00:05:46,447 --> 00:05:49,118
um, as you know, I don't have
my escort situation

129
00:05:49,119 --> 00:05:51,050
fully ironed out yet, so...

130
00:05:51,051 --> 00:05:53,052
Oh, that's okay.
Um, maximillian here

131
00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:55,425
will, um, dance with you today.

132
00:05:55,426 --> 00:05:57,827
He is divine.
I think it'll be great

133
00:05:57,828 --> 00:06:00,460
to have some one-on-one tutoring
because I know

134
00:06:00,461 --> 00:06:02,432
you have some catching up to do.

135
00:06:02,433 --> 00:06:05,765
Ca-catching up? I, uh,
this was the first rehearsal.

136
00:06:05,766 --> 00:06:07,597
I know, but, um, the other girls

137
00:06:07,598 --> 00:06:09,639
have been taking ballroom
for years,

138
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,441
so you will be great.

139
00:06:11,442 --> 00:06:14,373
You have your father's
natural rhythm.

140
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:18,548
Um, I'm just gonna get
a drink of water.

141
00:06:18,549 --> 00:06:20,511
Okay.

142
00:06:23,954 --> 00:06:25,785
Hey, Jenny.

143
00:06:25,786 --> 00:06:27,458
Hey, Jenny.

144
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:32,822
Hi. Uh, you're Kira, right?
I'm Eric Van Der Woodsen.

145
00:06:32,823 --> 00:06:35,865
Our mothers arranged
for me to be your escort.

146
00:06:35,866 --> 00:06:38,998
Oh, right. So humiliating
I couldn't get my own date,

147
00:06:38,999 --> 00:06:41,731
but thank you.
Well, it'll be fun.

148
00:06:41,732 --> 00:06:45,134
You're Jenny Humphrey's brother,
aren't you?
That's my new claim to fame.

149
00:06:45,135 --> 00:06:47,637
Those girls who hang out
with her are so lucky.

150
00:06:47,638 --> 00:06:49,709
Who's her escort?
Well, she's obsessed
with getting Graham Collins.

151
00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:52,482
Graham lives in my building.
We've been neighbors forever.

152
00:06:52,483 --> 00:06:54,744
I could... not breathe a word.

153
00:06:54,745 --> 00:06:57,617
I know Graham, too.
I went to camp suisse with him.

154
00:06:57,618 --> 00:06:59,789
I could probably
introduce them myself.
So why don't you?

155
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:02,492
Because, uh, Jenny hates it
when other people get involved

156
00:07:02,493 --> 00:07:05,955
in her personal life. I would
definitely stay out if it

157
00:07:05,956 --> 00:07:08,057
if I were you.
Really?

158
00:07:08,058 --> 00:07:11,761
Absolutely.
So you ready to dance?
Sure. Just let me
get my shoes.

159
00:07:11,762 --> 00:07:14,605
All right.
(Man) Okay, ladies,
find your escort.

160
00:07:20,741 --> 00:07:23,112
I want to make her remember
why she came to college...

161
00:07:23,113 --> 00:07:25,044
The... the part that doesn't
involve the library

162
00:07:25,045 --> 00:07:27,547
or waking up with a textbook
stuck to your face.
(Speaking inaudibly)

163
00:07:27,548 --> 00:07:30,750
I think if we can do that,
then we got a fighting chance

164
00:07:30,751 --> 00:07:34,884
at keeping her here.
You mean like "the 15 things
every college student must do

165
00:07:34,885 --> 00:07:36,085
before graduating"?

166
00:07:36,086 --> 00:07:38,457
Uh, yeah, exactly that.
Uh... (Chuckles)

167
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:40,790
Yeah. No, we haven't
cheered ourselves hoarse

168
00:07:40,791 --> 00:07:43,693
at a sporting event.
We haven't gotten sick

169
00:07:43,694 --> 00:07:46,135
after a beer pong tournament
at bar none. We haven't had sex

170
00:07:46,136 --> 00:07:47,967
with someone
we don't want to see again.

171
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:50,740
Well, no, actually, I-I did
that one with Georgina.
True.

172
00:07:50,741 --> 00:07:53,202
You know, but he haven't
done any of this...

173
00:07:53,203 --> 00:07:57,647

It's for real this time.
My parents, manager,

174
00:07:57,648 --> 00:08:00,179
three of my agents... are all
flying out from L.A. on Monday

175
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:01,951
to convince me to do it.

176
00:08:01,952 --> 00:08:04,153
It's like "the sopranos,"
but with bagels.

177
00:08:04,154 --> 00:08:07,517
Hadn't they all agreed to
give you this year for college?
Well, that's what I said,

178
00:08:07,518 --> 00:08:10,189
but it doesn't really matter.
I'm pretty sure they're

179
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:12,191
on the phone with the Dean
right now,

180
00:08:12,192 --> 00:08:14,063
getting him to let me finish
classes from location.

181
00:08:14,064 --> 00:08:17,226
I mean, how do I fight that?
By telling them
that college is

182
00:08:17,227 --> 00:08:19,228
about a lot more
than just classes.

183
00:08:19,229 --> 00:08:22,101
You don't have beer pong
on location.
What?

184
00:08:22,102 --> 00:08:24,103
We'll explain on the way.

185
00:08:24,104 --> 00:08:26,576
But your college life
begins now.

186
00:08:26,577 --> 00:08:29,680
(The plastiscines' "I am down

187
00:08:42,092 --> 00:08:44,093
You don't know the dances.

188
00:08:44,094 --> 00:08:46,596
No, I do. I...

189
00:08:46,597 --> 00:08:49,699
(Sighs) I... you'd think
that it would be enough

190
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:52,001
to just be the queen
of constance, but, no,

191
00:08:52,002 --> 00:08:55,705
then you have to be the queen
of the entire Upper East Side,

192
00:08:55,706 --> 00:08:58,007
which means having
the perfect escort and...

193
00:08:58,008 --> 00:09:01,310
I'm just gonna make a complete
fool out of myself, aren't I?

194
00:09:01,311 --> 00:09:02,311
Probably.

195
00:09:02,312 --> 00:09:06,075
♫♫

196
00:09:06,076 --> 00:09:08,117
You know, I-I really thought

197
00:09:08,118 --> 00:09:10,019
that if I made
the perfect debut,

198
00:09:10,020 --> 00:09:14,755
people would finally forget
that I'm just a Brooklyn nobody.

199
00:09:16,887 --> 00:09:19,088
It helps if you count out loud.

200
00:09:19,089 --> 00:09:22,131
Eric, you don't have
to be nice to me.

201
00:09:22,132 --> 00:09:24,163
I've been so awful
to you and Jonathan.

202
00:09:24,164 --> 00:09:27,196
It's true. But I'm
a better person than you are.

203
00:09:27,197 --> 00:09:29,238
That's also true.

204
00:09:29,239 --> 00:09:31,070
Come here.

205
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:34,103
There's only one official dance.
You can learn that easy.
Eric...

206
00:09:34,104 --> 00:09:36,175
Stop complaining.
Start counting. Ready?

207
00:09:36,176 --> 00:09:40,079
(Chuckles)
One, two, three, four, out.
One, two, three, back in.

208
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,112
You know, I wish that
you could just be my escort.

209
00:09:43,113 --> 00:09:45,114
At least then I'd have fun.
I'm gonna turn you.

210
00:09:45,115 --> 00:09:48,918
Okay.
Um...

211
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:50,159
Well...

212
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,662
What about Jonathan?

213
00:09:52,663 --> 00:09:55,094
He's not Graham Collins,
but he is a Whitney.

214
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:57,296
Debuting with gertrude Whitney's
great-grandson

215
00:09:57,297 --> 00:10:00,730
will count for a lot
with the Deb ball crowd.

216
00:10:00,731 --> 00:10:02,071
Walk.

217
00:10:02,072 --> 00:10:04,203
Well, do you think
he'd even go with me?

218
00:10:04,204 --> 00:10:06,075
Well, he will
once I talk to him.

219
00:10:06,076 --> 00:10:10,009
(Chuckles) Well, then I'll have
my minions call off the search.

220
00:10:10,010 --> 00:10:12,081
Thank you.

223
00:10:19,219 --> 00:10:22,692
In the complicated world
of debutante balls,

224
00:10:22,693 --> 00:10:25,154
one must choose
her dance partner wisely.

225
00:10:25,155 --> 00:10:28,097
You never know
when a hand on the hip

226
00:10:28,098 --> 00:10:30,761
can lead to a knife in the back.

Serena. Anything you want
to say to me?

231
00:10:45,846 --> 00:10:47,116
Welcome.

232
00:10:47,117 --> 00:10:49,178
I see. That's it?

233
00:10:49,179 --> 00:10:52,722
Uh, well, there's a list
of debs and their mentors

234
00:10:52,723 --> 00:10:54,123
on the coffee table.

235
00:10:54,124 --> 00:10:56,155
You can find out
who Lily assigned you to.

236
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:58,127
My Deb's right here,
right, Jenny?

237
00:10:58,128 --> 00:11:00,790
Uh, yeah,
Serena's my mentor. Why?

238
00:11:00,791 --> 00:11:03,763
Oh, of course, if that's what
you want. It's just a shame.

239
00:11:03,764 --> 00:11:06,035
You know how I feel about
your potential.

240
00:11:06,036 --> 00:11:09,268
Blair, are we really doing this
right now?
I gave you
a chance to apologize.

241
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:11,871
How about you apologize?
I'm here, aren't I?

242
00:11:11,872 --> 00:11:14,443
Ahem. Okay, look, I have
enough of my own problems,

243
00:11:14,444 --> 00:11:18,047
so I'm not gonna let you guys
make me a pawn in your war.

244
00:11:18,048 --> 00:11:20,449
War? What? Of course not.

245
00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:22,351
Who's your escort?

00:11:22,352 --> 00:11:24,313
Jonathan Whitney.

Do you remember
who my escort was?

00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:30,790
Nate.

250
00:11:30,791 --> 00:11:33,162
Jenny, when you descend
those stairs tomorrow night,

251
00:11:33,163 --> 00:11:35,324
everyone there will judge you,
based on that moment,

252
00:11:35,325 --> 00:11:37,326
for the rest of your life.

253
00:11:37,327 --> 00:11:39,168
This is not like
your wedding day.

254
00:11:39,169 --> 00:11:41,831
Cotillion only happens once.
Now you already have one strike

255
00:11:41,832 --> 00:11:44,103
against you because of
the whole Brooklyn misfortune

256
00:11:44,104 --> 00:11:47,236
and add a "b+" escort
and top it off with

257
00:11:47,237 --> 00:11:49,879
a mentor who's known more
for her mug shots

258
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,042
and topless photos in Ibiza
than her social graces?
Okay, you're right, Jenny.

259
00:11:53,043 --> 00:11:56,415
You know what? You shouldn't be
caught between Blair and me.

260
00:11:56,416 --> 00:11:58,217
It's not fair to you
on your big night.

261
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:01,020
She can be your mentor.
It's fine.
How selfless.

262
00:12:01,021 --> 00:12:03,122
Actually, I'm working for
congressman Tripp Van Der bilt,

263
00:12:03,123 --> 00:12:07,026
and I should get back to that.
But you have fun tonight.

264
00:12:07,027 --> 00:12:09,398
These are probably
the last people in New York

265
00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:12,462
who still think you matter.

266

(Elevator bell dings)

267
00:12:17,267 --> 00:12:20,239
No. I'm sorry.
I don't want to.

268
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,913
Jenny feels bad
about what happened.
Great. She should feel bad.

269
00:12:23,914 --> 00:12:27,977
That doesn't mean I have to be
her escort to cotillion.
She's at the tipping point.

270
00:12:27,978 --> 00:12:31,220
She's not Darth Vader yet.
She could still stay Anakin.
(Sighs)

271
00:12:31,221 --> 00:12:34,784
We have to stop her before we
truly lose her to the dark side.

272
00:12:34,785 --> 00:12:37,756
Fine. But she'd better
really want to do this.

273
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:39,388
She does. I promise.

Hey. I didn't think you were
coming in till Monday.

277
00:12:54,374 --> 00:12:56,505
Well, my night
suddenly opened up,

278
00:12:56,506 --> 00:12:58,978
and I know you said
you work late,

279
00:12:58,979 --> 00:13:03,052
so I thought
you might be hungry.
Thanks. I'm starving.

280
00:13:03,053 --> 00:13:06,085
But are you sure?
I mean, it's Friday night.

281
00:13:06,086 --> 00:13:09,118
I'll take real politics over
the ones at cotillion any night.

Uh, 1 speech, 15 drafts.

286
00:13:18,869 --> 00:13:22,401
Is there anything your new media
relations rep can do to help?

287
00:13:22,402 --> 00:13:27,937
Well, the speech is
about school lunches,

288
00:13:27,938 --> 00:13:30,309
teacher salaries
and term limits.

289
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:31,510

anything by me?

Why don't you go home?

Tomorrow you can meet Brian.
You'll report to him.

I called and asked him,

you already had an escort.
What? When?

00:14:42,182 --> 00:14:45,655
Today. Right after
you left rehearsal.
(Sighs) Oh, my god.

Did you text Graham Collins
that I didn't want him

I knew that if you had
the chance to go with Graham,

317
00:14:52,993 --> 00:14:55,995
you'd make the wrong choice.
That wasn't your decision

What? You knew him
this whole time?

324
00:15:15,645 --> 00:15:18,647

00:15:46,316 --> 00:15:50,049
I think I'll call him myself.
Uh-oh, little j.

335
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:53,052
You've stepped on Eric's toes
one too many times.
Whoa.

336
00:15:53,053 --> 00:15:56,555
She can't get away with this.
She won't.

337
00:15:56,556 --> 00:15:59,488
Now he's found a new partner.

338
00:15:59,489 --> 00:16:02,692
Who knows what could happen
when these two start to tango?

339
00:16:15,045 --> 00:16:18,377
Morning. Oh.
I see the moving in went well.

340
00:16:18,378 --> 00:16:19,608
Hey, Blair.

341
00:16:19,609 --> 00:16:22,651
Blair.
Excuse the mess.
How was dinner?

342
00:16:22,652 --> 00:16:27,456
Did you and Serena
work things out?
Oh, no. She took off
immediately. Thank god.

343
00:16:27,457 --> 00:16:30,389
Then I had to relieve her
of her mentor duties.

344
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:32,561
Is that pole artist wearing
my agent provocateur corset?

345
00:16:32,562 --> 00:16:36,425
Just make sure she's careful
undoing the eyehooks.

346
00:16:36,426 --> 00:16:40,529
They pinch. I just came
to grab a dress for tonight.

347
00:16:40,530 --> 00:16:44,133
The last time I saw Blair
that freakishly calm...

348
00:16:44,134 --> 00:16:46,235
Was when Serena left
for boarding school.

349
00:16:46,236 --> 00:16:49,538
And you know as well as I do,
the calm won't last.

350
00:16:49,539 --> 00:16:51,340
And when it breaks,

351
00:16:51,341 --> 00:16:55,414
there are going to be pieces
of Blair all over the wall.

352
00:16:55,415 --> 00:17:00,150
And I really don't want
to clean up that mess.

353
00:17:02,092 --> 00:17:04,353
What are she and Serena
fighting about this time?

354
00:17:04,354 --> 00:17:07,696
Basically how each one
loves the other

355
00:17:07,697 --> 00:17:10,559
more than the other loves her.

356
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,303
Can you even fight about that?

357
00:17:14,304 --> 00:17:16,435
You might want to ring
housekeeping.

358
00:17:16,436 --> 00:17:18,367
Chocolate leaves a stain.

359
00:17:18,368 --> 00:17:19,439
(Sighs) Toodles.

360
00:17:26,146 --> 00:17:29,448
Hey. I didn't realize
you were here.

361
00:17:29,449 --> 00:17:32,581
Yeah, I'm just about to take
off. I was leaving you a note

362
00:17:32,582 --> 00:17:36,425
to check out
this new press release.
I'm sure it's fine. Just show it
to Brian when he gets back.

363
00:17:36,426 --> 00:17:38,228
Okay.

364
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:43,632
Did I do something wrong?

365
00:17:43,633 --> 00:17:46,095
No, I just...
I don't have time to chat.

366
00:17:46,096 --> 00:17:48,367
Um, I'm at work, Serena.

367
00:17:48,368 --> 00:17:50,669
But you're...
You're just acting like

368
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:53,602
you don't really want me here
or something.
That's not it.

369
00:17:53,603 --> 00:17:57,246
Well, what then?
(Sighs)
This was a huge mistake.

370
00:17:57,247 --> 00:18:00,209
What was? Hiring me?
Tripp, I'm sorry,

371
00:18:00,210 --> 00:18:02,211
but you're... you're the one
who asked me

372
00:18:02,212 --> 00:18:05,584
to come in for the interview.
If you didn't want me

373
00:18:05,585 --> 00:18:08,757
working here,
then why would you do that?
I did want you here.

374
00:18:08,758 --> 00:18:12,291
I find you smart and charming,

375
00:18:12,292 --> 00:18:16,465
and I wanted to help you out.
But having you here?

376
00:18:16,466 --> 00:18:19,799
I didn't realize
how much it would affect me.

377
00:18:21,771 --> 00:18:24,404
Say something.

378
00:18:25,705 --> 00:18:27,306

379
00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:28,808

381
00:18:33,143 --> 00:18:35,244
(Whispers) Sorry. Um...

382
00:18:35,245 --> 00:18:37,486
(Normal voice) You know what?
Don't worry about me.

383
00:18:37,487 --> 00:18:40,449
It's not gonna be a problem.
I have to go.

384
00:18:40,450 --> 00:18:42,691
Serena, wait.
Please. It's... it's fine.

385
00:18:42,692 --> 00:18:44,294
Excuse me.

386
00:18:49,659 --> 00:18:52,331
(Kira) I don't understand.

387
00:18:52,332 --> 00:18:54,703
How can you make me queen?

388
00:18:54,704 --> 00:18:58,607
Simple. To become queen,
you must take down the queen.

389
00:18:58,608 --> 00:19:02,612
But I want to be
Jenny's friend.
Kira, let me tell you a story.

390
00:19:05,545 --> 00:19:08,317
I used to have a friend
like Jenny.

391
00:19:08,318 --> 00:19:09,678
She was beautiful, fabulous,

392
00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:12,521
and she let me make all these
sacrifices for her.

393
00:19:12,522 --> 00:19:15,524
And you know what I got back
in that investment? Zero.

394
00:19:15,525 --> 00:19:17,786
Because girls like her run
emotional Ponzi schemes.

395
00:19:17,787 --> 00:19:21,460
Serena will never like you
the way you like her.
You mean Jenny.

396
00:19:21,461 --> 00:19:24,193
Details. Now are you ready
to be queen,

397
00:19:24,194 --> 00:19:28,437
or do I need to find a new frog?

398
00:19:28,438 --> 00:19:30,639

00:24:39,008 --> 00:24:41,610
They say that the friends
you meet here last a lifetime.

500
00:24:41,611 --> 00:24:43,952
Do you guys want
to get out of here?

501
00:24:43,953 --> 00:24:46,815
Absolutely.
Yeah. Let's do it.

502
00:24:46,816 --> 00:24:48,216

503
00:24:48,217 --> 00:24:50,789
(Elevator bell dings)

504
00:24:50,790 --> 00:24:52,921
What are you doing here?

505
00:24:52,922 --> 00:24:54,923
Waiting for you.

506
00:24:54,924 --> 00:24:57,165
You sent me a text to meet you,

507
00:24:57,166 --> 00:25:01,169
and then you keep me waiting
for half an hour?
I didn't text you.
I lost my phone.

508
00:25:01,170 --> 00:25:05,033
Nate told me
to come meet... Chuck.

509
00:25:05,034 --> 00:25:06,034
(Sighs)

510
00:25:06,035 --> 00:25:07,505
Right.

511
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:09,908
(Presses button)
Going down.

512
00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:11,941
Not without me.

513
00:25:14,814 --> 00:25:17,145
(Sighs) Can you press
the button, please?

514
00:25:17,146 --> 00:25:18,847
I've pressed the button.

515
00:25:18,848 --> 00:25:22,952
If you don't believe me,
you can press it yourself.

516
00:25:28,758 --> 00:25:29,899
Great.

517
00:25:31,701 --> 00:25:34,633
(Beeps)
Hello?
I'm trapped in the elevator

518
00:25:34,634 --> 00:25:37,636
with someone who sucks
all the air out of the room.

519
00:25:37,637 --> 00:25:39,838
Send help or I'll be dead
within the hour.

520
00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:42,571
(Chuck) Not until you two
work things out.

521
00:25:42,572 --> 00:25:44,713
Bass?

522
00:25:44,714 --> 00:25:47,716
Th-this is a punishable offense,

523
00:25:47,717 --> 00:25:49,778
and not the kind of punishment
you like!

524
00:25:49,779 --> 00:25:53,081
I'm only doing what you refused
to do yourself.

525
00:25:53,082 --> 00:25:55,984
Chuck, this is not funny.
There's a single malt

526
00:25:55,985 --> 00:25:58,757
and some ladurée macaroons
in the storage box,

527
00:25:58,758 --> 00:26:01,330
plenty to sustain you
until you two figure things out.

528
00:26:06,766 --> 00:26:08,937
So...

529
00:26:08,938 --> 00:26:11,871
What did my text supposedly say?

530
00:26:13,673 --> 00:26:16,746
That you were sorry
and you missed me.

531
00:26:21,210 --> 00:26:23,582
Did you text me back?

Who's your escort, dear?

544
00:27:11,661 --> 00:27:13,962
What just happened?

545
00:27:13,963 --> 00:27:15,303
Um...

546
00:27:15,304 --> 00:27:17,205
Jenny Humphrey went to a ball.

547
00:27:17,206 --> 00:27:19,067
I don't... I don't know.

548
00:27:19,068 --> 00:27:23,171
Jenny Humphrey
had a great fall.
(Camera shutter clicks)

549
00:27:23,172 --> 00:27:26,875
And none of her minions,
mentors or friends

550
00:27:26,876 --> 00:27:29,378
want to put Jenny
together again.

what happened?
Are you all right?

Do you want to pick

Uh, no. Sorry.
I know she's behind this.

565
00:28:13,222 --> 00:28:16,124
And it's all because I didn't
want her as my mentor.
What if it's all for the best?

566
00:28:16,125 --> 00:28:19,097
I mean, don't you
think that maybe being queen

567
00:28:19,098 --> 00:28:22,100
isn't worth it?
You really don't understand.
I was gonna walk

568
00:28:22,101 --> 00:28:26,204
down those steps and finally
stop having to prove myself.
Let it go, Jenny. It's over.

Yeah, and I-I found him, too,

578
00:28:55,264 --> 00:28:58,206
but he didn't want to see me.

579
00:28:58,207 --> 00:29:00,238
What?

580
00:29:00,239 --> 00:29:03,471
Why didn't you say anything
while all of this was happening?

581
00:29:03,472 --> 00:29:07,315
I guess I was ashamed.

582
00:29:07,316 --> 00:29:10,118
Your dad adores you,

583
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:12,520
all your dads do.

584
00:29:12,521 --> 00:29:15,523
And Rufus would do anything
for Dan and Jenny.

585
00:29:15,524 --> 00:29:19,327
Even Nate... he may have to
go to prison to see his dad,

586
00:29:19,328 --> 00:29:21,890
but the captain
would never turn him away.

587
00:29:21,891 --> 00:29:25,263
(Sniffles) I'm even jealous
of Nate's dad.

(Scoffs)

589
00:29:27,136 --> 00:29:29,197
Not knowing you

590
00:29:29,198 --> 00:29:31,070
is your father's loss.

591
00:29:33,202 --> 00:29:34,903
Maybe, but I...

592
00:29:34,904 --> 00:29:37,375
I just can't seem to let it go.

593
00:29:37,376 --> 00:29:39,777
I keep leaving him messages

594
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:43,051
and writing letters to addresses
I'm not even sure are his.

595
00:29:43,052 --> 00:29:44,312
You miss him.

596
00:29:44,313 --> 00:29:45,984
You're allowed.

597
00:29:45,985 --> 00:29:47,555
I don't want to.

598
00:29:47,556 --> 00:29:51,559
All I even remember of him
is him going on trips

599
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,322
and then coming back
and bringing me presents.

600
00:29:54,323 --> 00:29:58,166
And then one day
he didn't come back.

601
00:29:58,167 --> 00:30:00,168
And now it's like

602
00:30:00,169 --> 00:30:04,072
I-I can't seem to get anything
right anymore.

603
00:30:04,073 --> 00:30:08,106
Between Carter and the paparazzi

604
00:30:08,107 --> 00:30:10,008
and brown and...

605
00:30:10,009 --> 00:30:12,510
(Sniffles) Ohh.

606
00:30:12,511 --> 00:30:14,312
And now Tripp. (Chuckles)

607
00:30:14,313 --> 00:30:16,845
Tripp Van Der bilt?

608
00:30:16,846 --> 00:30:19,918
Yeah, it... I guess I've... I've
kind of had a crush on him.

609
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:22,090
But it was nothing.
I mean, he's... he's married,

610
00:30:22,091 --> 00:30:24,192
and he's always treated me
like a kid.

611
00:30:24,193 --> 00:30:27,325
But now we work together,
and tonight...

612
00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:29,597
Did something happen?

613
00:30:29,598 --> 00:30:31,599
No. No, nothing.
Your text saved me.

614
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,464
But now I don't know if I can
trust myself around him.

615
00:30:36,465 --> 00:30:39,167
Then you can't see him again.

616
00:30:39,168 --> 00:30:43,441
Carter was one thing, but Tripp
is a married congressman.

617
00:30:43,442 --> 00:30:45,213
I know.

618
00:30:45,214 --> 00:30:47,075
Serena...
I know.

619
00:30:47,076 --> 00:30:50,478
Promise me you won't see him
or speak to him again

620
00:30:50,479 --> 00:30:53,582
without coming to me first.
Okay. I promise.

621
00:30:55,925 --> 00:30:58,556
(Whispers) Thank you, Blair.

622
00:30:58,557 --> 00:31:01,489
(Thud)
(Chuck) If you two want to kiss,

623
00:31:01,490 --> 00:31:03,361
it won't count as cheating.

624
00:31:03,362 --> 00:31:05,364
Creepy, Chuck.

625
00:31:06,966 --> 00:31:09,138
(Chuckles)

626
00:31:12,041 --> 00:31:15,043
Okay, wait. So you guys used
a prefab college experience

627
00:31:15,044 --> 00:31:17,205
to get me to stay?
Oh, yeah. (Chuckles)

628
00:31:17,206 --> 00:31:19,147
Shamelessly
plucked from the headlines.

629
00:31:19,148 --> 00:31:21,209
Wait, how many
did we eventually get through?

630
00:31:21,210 --> 00:31:24,582
I think we got, uh, what...
Let's see. There's the...
(Paper rustles)

631
00:31:24,583 --> 00:31:27,255
Beer boggle and fountain yoga

632
00:31:27,256 --> 00:31:29,157
and, uh... (Clicks tongue)

633
00:31:29,158 --> 00:31:32,160
You know, I think we got
a solid 14 out of 15.

634
00:31:32,161 --> 00:31:35,263
So you can go back to London
with your head held high.

635
00:31:35,264 --> 00:31:36,664
What?

636
00:31:36,665 --> 00:31:39,597
I am not going
with just one more to go.

637
00:31:39,598 --> 00:31:41,599
Now come on.
Let's... let's do the last one.

638
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,502
Let's just do it right now.
(Laughs)

639
00:31:44,503 --> 00:31:47,035
Mm.
It can't be worse

640
00:31:47,036 --> 00:31:50,238
than the bathroom
at fat black pussycat's.
I wouldn't say worse.

641
00:31:50,239 --> 00:31:55,044
(Anya Marina's
"whatever you like" playing)

642
00:31:58,317 --> 00:32:00,288
Oh.
Yeah.

643
00:32:00,289 --> 00:32:02,250
That one. (Laughs)

644
00:32:02,251 --> 00:32:04,122
(Laughs)

645
00:32:04,123 --> 00:32:06,694
Have you ever, uh...
Have I? No. No.

646
00:32:06,695 --> 00:32:08,456
No, never.

647
00:32:08,457 --> 00:32:10,698
Wait... no, never. Have you?
(Whispers) Once.

648
00:32:10,699 --> 00:32:12,700
(Normal voice)
But it was in a movie,

649
00:32:12,701 --> 00:32:15,564
so that doesn't really count.
Not me. No.

650

670
00:33:29,238 --> 00:33:31,439
May I have your attention,
please?

671
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,441
Due to
extenuating circumstances,

672
00:33:33,442 --> 00:33:36,284
we have one last debutante
to present...

673
00:33:36,285 --> 00:33:39,547
Miss Jennifer tallulah Humphrey.

674
00:33:39,548 --> 00:33:42,351
(Guests murmuring)

675
00:33:44,753 --> 00:33:46,754
She's walking alone?

676
00:33:46,755 --> 00:33:48,756
Nobody walks alone.

677
00:33:48,757 --> 00:33:53,202
Escorted by
Mr. Nathaniel Archibald.

678
00:33:56,065 --> 00:33:58,136
A college guy?

679
00:33:58,137 --> 00:34:00,668
Nate Archibald is... epic.

680
00:34:00,669 --> 00:34:03,612
(Applause)

681
00:34:09,718 --> 00:34:11,379
Well, we found Nate.

00:34:17,786 --> 00:34:20,488
♫ you can have
whatever you like ♫

685
00:34:20,489 --> 00:34:23,231
Oh, e., you tried to play dirty
at the dance.

686
00:34:23,232 --> 00:34:25,233
But you should know

687
00:34:25,234 --> 00:34:27,335
nobody puts Jenny in the corner,

688
00:34:27,336 --> 00:34:30,199
and now she's having
the time of her life.

689

694
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:50,488

I gotta say,
I didn't see that one coming.

698
00:34:55,494 --> 00:34:57,725
Well, I learned
from the best.
Good answer.

699
00:34:57,726 --> 00:35:01,229
The other queens would like
to pay their respects.

700
00:35:01,230 --> 00:35:04,772
You look beautiful, Jenny.
Enjoy your night.

701
00:35:04,773 --> 00:35:07,104
Thank you.
(Chuckles)

702
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:09,607
So... now what?
You wanna get something to eat?

703
00:35:09,608 --> 00:35:12,610
Yeah, but first I need
to stop by Tripp's office...

704
00:35:12,611 --> 00:35:16,514
To hand in my resignation.
It's just up the street.
That's my girl.

Thanks for coming.

711
00:35:30,399 --> 00:35:33,161
You won't believe
who Jenny got to walk with her.

712
00:35:33,162 --> 00:35:35,863
I read all about it
on "gossip girl."

713
00:35:35,864 --> 00:35:38,236
But I didn't come here
because of Jenny.

714
00:35:38,237 --> 00:35:40,238
Were you serious
on your message?

715
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,840
Have you really
been scheming with Blair?

716
00:35:42,841 --> 00:35:45,373
Uh, yeah, I-I know
it sounds crazy, but...

717
00:35:45,374 --> 00:35:47,745
So it's official...
You've sunk to Jenny's level.

718
00:35:47,746 --> 00:35:50,178
I was doing it to help her.

719
00:35:50,179 --> 00:35:53,521
Although it didn't exactly
turn out as I planned.
Really? I'm shocked.

720
00:35:53,522 --> 00:35:57,225
The point is, it doesn't matter.
She's not worth our time.

721
00:35:57,226 --> 00:35:59,628
She's not the only one.

722
00:36:01,790 --> 00:36:04,662
I don't want to do this anymore.

723
00:36:04,663 --> 00:36:07,695
Well, we won't. Like I said,
I'm... I'm done with Jenny.

724
00:36:07,696 --> 00:36:10,598
I'm not talking about Jenny.

725
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:13,471
Jonathan, come on.

726
00:36:13,472 --> 00:36:16,474
I promise I'll never
talk to her again.

727
00:36:16,475 --> 00:36:20,478
It's not about Jenny.
It's about who you've become.

728
00:36:20,479 --> 00:36:23,481
I liked you because you were
different from everyone else.

729
00:36:23,482 --> 00:36:26,514
You were smart
and you knew who you were.

730
00:36:26,515 --> 00:36:29,417
You didn't need
to prove anything to anyone.

731
00:36:29,418 --> 00:36:30,819
And now?

732
00:36:32,391 --> 00:36:34,692
I'm...

733
00:36:34,693 --> 00:36:36,764

737
00:36:47,676 --> 00:36:49,577
You were the one who said

738
00:36:49,578 --> 00:36:52,340
to restrict our scheming
to outsiders.

739
00:36:52,341 --> 00:36:54,442
Desperate times,
desperate measures.

740
00:36:54,443 --> 00:36:56,744
And I'm willing to accept
my punishment.

741
00:36:56,745 --> 00:37:01,619
In fact, I left a few props
up in the lounge.

742
00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:05,793
Sadly, your punishment is going
to be an evening without me.

743
00:37:05,794 --> 00:37:08,396
I'm gonna spend it
with my best friend.

744
00:37:08,397 --> 00:37:12,330
Oh, and if you ever
loan out my lingerie again...

745
00:37:12,331 --> 00:37:13,561
Well...

746
00:37:13,562 --> 00:37:15,763
♫ I am down tonight ♫

747
00:37:15,764 --> 00:37:18,566

750
00:37:26,375 --> 00:37:28,316
I thought maybe you bailed.

751
00:37:28,317 --> 00:37:30,017
Did you see it?
It was awesome.

752
00:37:30,018 --> 00:37:32,019
I really showed Blair.
She even admitted it herself.

753
00:37:32,020 --> 00:37:34,782
Yeah, you really showed her.
Hey, look,

754
00:37:34,783 --> 00:37:37,985
I'm sorry about Jonathan
becoming collateral damage.

755
00:37:37,986 --> 00:37:40,488
But you understand, right?
I had no choice.

756
00:37:40,489 --> 00:37:42,330
And you did lie to me.

757
00:37:42,331 --> 00:37:44,992
Oh, a bunch of us are going
to serafina. You wanna come?

758
00:37:44,993 --> 00:37:48,336
Go celebrate with your friends.

759
00:37:48,337 --> 00:37:49,698
(Whispers) Okay.

760
00:37:52,901 --> 00:37:55,343
You know, you really put
yourself on the radar tonight.

761
00:37:55,344 --> 00:37:58,647
Better not make that mistake
again, or you'll pay for real.

762
00:38:04,353 --> 00:38:05,654
(Sighs)

763
00:38:07,386 --> 00:38:09,016
She can threaten me
all she wants.

764
00:38:09,017 --> 00:38:11,489
I'm not going back
to social oblivion.

765
00:38:11,490 --> 00:38:12,890
Don't worry.

766
00:38:12,891 --> 00:38:16,764
Next time we take Jenny down,
it'll be for good.

767
00:38:16,765 --> 00:38:19,026
Some people think
that when the party ends,

768
00:38:19,027 --> 00:38:21,028
the night is over.

769
00:38:21,029 --> 00:38:22,770
But I've found

770
00:38:22,771 --> 00:38:25,733
it's when the music stops
and the lights come up

771
00:38:25,734 --> 00:38:28,306
that the real trouble begins.

772
00:38:31,039 --> 00:38:32,740
Hi.

773
00:38:32,741 --> 00:38:34,982
I'm glad you came.
I want to apologize.

774
00:38:34,983 --> 00:38:38,045
I shouldn't have said anything.

775
00:38:38,046 --> 00:38:39,917
No, I'm... I'm glad you did.

776
00:38:39,918 --> 00:38:41,919
But I don't think
it's a good idea

777
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,552
for me to work for you anymore.

778
00:38:44,553 --> 00:38:47,054
I actually came here
to say that I quit.

779
00:38:47,055 --> 00:38:49,797
I completely understand
why you'd want to quit

780
00:38:49,798 --> 00:38:52,530
after what I said today.

781
00:38:52,531 --> 00:38:55,002
But don't throw this away,
Serena.

782
00:38:55,003 --> 00:38:57,465
You deserve this opportunity.

783
00:38:57,466 --> 00:38:59,537
And I want you there.

784
00:38:59,538 --> 00:39:01,068
For whatever reason,
I trust you,

785
00:39:01,069 --> 00:39:04,472
and I don't have many people
I can say that about

786
00:39:04,473 --> 00:39:06,714
in my work or my life.

787
00:39:06,715 --> 00:39:09,016
Yeah, I, uh... (Chuckles)

788
00:39:09,017 --> 00:39:10,848
I feel the same way.

789
00:39:10,849 --> 00:39:15,122
And I promise
to never cross that line.

790
00:39:15,123 --> 00:39:16,884
We're both adults.

791
00:39:16,885 --> 00:39:20,088
We'll just agree to keep things
friendly and professional.

792
00:39:22,461 --> 00:39:24,091
Okay.

793
00:39:24,092 --> 00:39:25,863
Friendly and professional.

794
00:39:25,864 --> 00:39:29,067
(Laughs)
Plus, I still owe you
for the injury.

795
00:39:34,102 --> 00:39:37,805
Yeah. (Chuckles)

796
00:39:37,806 --> 00:39:38,946
Serena!

797
00:39:38,947 --> 00:39:41,749
I mean, Serena, there you are.

798
00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:44,652
May I speak to you alone
for a moment, please?

799
00:39:44,653 --> 00:39:46,083
Hey, Tripp.

800
00:39:46,084 --> 00:39:47,915
Blair, it's okay.

801
00:39:47,916 --> 00:39:51,619
I'll call you tomorrow.
I'm... I'm fine.

802
00:39:51,620 --> 00:39:53,862
I can see that.

803
00:39:57,866 --> 00:39:59,396
(Laughs)

804
00:39:59,397 --> 00:40:02,430
I'm sorry. She's a little...

805
00:40:02,431 --> 00:40:04,933
(Laughs) Did you even...

806
00:40:06,435 --> 00:40:10,107
I still really don't get

807
00:40:10,108 --> 00:40:12,109
how these events work.

808
00:40:12,110 --> 00:40:13,911
One chance, two chances.

809
00:40:13,912 --> 00:40:16,584
Jonathan, Graham, Nate.
(Laughs)

810
00:40:16,585 --> 00:40:19,617
(Laughs) Even I
can't explain that one.

811
00:40:19,618 --> 00:40:22,750
But I don't think
I've seen Jenny this happy...
Ahh.

812
00:40:22,751 --> 00:40:26,094
Since she was 8
and made her first dress.

813
00:40:28,156 --> 00:40:29,827
Thanks, lil.

814
00:40:29,828 --> 00:40:32,760
I know the committee
didn't make it easy for you

815
00:40:32,761 --> 00:40:34,762
to let in a Humphrey
from Brooklyn.

816
00:40:34,763 --> 00:40:36,634
Well, what kind of parents
would we be

817
00:40:36,635 --> 00:40:40,437
if we didn't do what we could
to make our children happy?

818
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:42,770
Mmm. Coming to bed?

Mm, yeah, in a minute.
