there's a problem?
Nate：There's no problem. It's just...Do you ever feel like our whole lives have been planned out for us.That we're just gonna
end up like our parents?
Chuck：Man, that's a dark thought.
Nate：And aren't we entitled to choose, just to be happy?
Chuck：Look, easy! Socrates. What we're entitled to is a trust fund. Maybe a house in the hamptons. A prescription drug problem.
But happiness does not seem to be on the menu.So smoke up and seal the deal with Blair 'cause you're also entitled to tap that ass.
****************************************
Serena：So how's your mom doing with the divorce and everything?
Blair：Great.So my dad left her for another man. She lost 15 pounds. Got an eye lift. It's been good for her.
Serena：I'm really sorry.
Blair：Yeah, I could tell. Since you didn't call or write the entire time it was happening.
Serena：No, I…I know, I was just…boarding school is like…
Blair：I don't even know why you went to boarding school to begin with. Do you know how it felt calling your house when
you didn't show up at school and having your mom say "Serena didn't tell you that she moved to Connecticut?"
Serena：I just.I…I had to go. I just…I needed to get away from everything. Please just trust me.
Blair：How can I trust you when I feel like I don't even know you?
Serena：Let's fix that. I saw you at school with who with kati and is…and I get it. I don't wanna take any of that away from you…
Blair：Because it's just yours, to take if you want it.
Serena：No, that--that's not what I mean. I...I miss you. I just want things to go back to the way they used to be.You know,
walking to school together.Dancing on tables at bungalow. Night swimming at your mom's country house. You were like my sister,
You know and with our families.We need each other.
Blair：Well. You missed some classic Eleanor Waldorf meltdowns. If it wasn't such a tragedy, it would've been funny. Actually, it kind of was.
Serena：Hmm, well, I wish I could've been there.
Blair：You are now. I have to meet Nate.Kinda have something special planned.
Serena：Well, I don't wanna keep you, but um...I love you B.
Blair：I love you too S.
Gossip Girl：Spotted at the Palace Hotel: S and B having a heart-to-heart. Hmm, why so thirsty S? You may have won over B for now but we still think you're hiding something.
******************
Dan：Hey.
Jenny：Ah.The invisible man returns.You know, I really had no idea you could move that fast.
Dan: Yeah, well, uh, your fashion emergency was solved,so I figured my work was done.
Jenny：Come on, Dan.Serena said hi to you at a ninth grade birthday party and you've never forgotten it.
Dan: How could I? She was the only person who spoke to me. And I'm pretty sure she thought I was someone else.
Jenny：You know. She's actually nice.And if she did know you,I think she'd really like you.
Dan: I don't know. I think she might be a tad overwhelmed by the glitz and the glamour of the Humphrey lifestyle.
Jenny：Well, I heard she's living at the Palace Hotel.
Dan: Well, my--my point exactly.
Jenny：Probably sitting at the bar by herself ,sipping martinis, all alone.You know.It's actually kind of sad. Oh, and, um, dad's at the gallery working late.He,uh,left money for dinner so I was thinking Indian.
Dan: You know--you know what? I think I'm...I'm gonna go out.
Jenny：Ok.Good 'Cause I already ordered and only got enough for one.
*******************************************
Chuck：Move, please.I love this town. I'm going to have to tell my parents the hotel they just bought is serving minors.
Serena：And if you get a drink,they're also serving pigs.
Chuck：I love it when you talk dirty.
Serena：You just love when a girl talks to you.
Chuck：Actually, I prefer them when they're not talking.
Serena：Mm, I've missed your witty banter.
Chuck：Let's catch up, take our clothes off, stare at each other.
Serena：How about I just get a bite to eat? I've been drinking on an empty stomach.
Chuck：I heard you didn't do that anymore.
Serena：Special occasion.
Chuck：Oh.Well, how about a grilled cheese with truffle oil? You do love truffles.
Serena：Enough to know it's not on the menu.
Chuck：Good thing I'm connected.
Serena：Only 'cause I'm hungry.
***********************************
Nate：Wow.
Blair：Hi.
Nate：Hi
Blair：Is it too much? I want it to be special. What's wrong?
Nate：Look, I don't know how to say this...Or if it's even the right thing to do.But, um...there's something I need to tell you.
******************
Chuck：Alfonso, you're a stud.Now, uh, have a good night. We're closing the kitchen early.


Serena：Oh, my god.This is so good.
Chuck：Well, if you're looking for a way to thank me,I've got a couple ideas.
Serena：It's a sandwich, chuck.This is... Mnh-mnh. This is not happening right now.
Chuck：You worried Nate'll find out?
Serena：What?
Chuck：Last year.The shepherd wedding. You think I don't know why you left town?
(flashback)
Nate：Come on, hurry up.You know we're not supposed to be in here.
Serena：Oh, if the happy couple to put up the cash for the premium bar,they should have made their wedding b.y.o.b.No!
Nate：Let me see it.
Serena：No, make me.I can do it. I can do it.
Nate：No, you can't.Let me just show you. Here, come here. Let me see it.
Serena：I can do it. Stop.
Nate：Let me see it.
Serena：Nate!
Nate：That never happens to me.
Serena：It's okay.You're still a man in my eyes.
Nate：Come here.
Serena：Look at you. You're a mess.
Nate：So are you.
*********************
Blair：But... That was it.You guys kissed.
Chuck：Best friend and the boyfriend.That's pretty classy S. I think you're more like me than you'd admit.
Serena：No. No, that--that was then. I... I'm trying to change.
Chuck：I liked you better before.
Serena：Chuck, stop it. Stop.No! Chuck, stop it!
Blair：I knew it! I always knew there was something! Get out!
Serena：Chuck! No! Get off of me!
Chuck：oh!
****************************
Dan：Oh! I'm so sorry.Are--are you okay?
Gossip Girl：And just when B And S had built a bridge, it all had to come crashing down. But dry your eyes. The kiss on the lips party is around the corner.And you know who loves parties? Gossip girl.
****************************
Nate's father：Nice try, son.
Nate：Maybe next time.
Nate's father：You seem upbeat this morning. Did you have fun with Blair last night?
Nate：Actually, we got into a pretty big fight.
Nate's father：Oh, you want my advice? Apologize even if it was her fault.Flowers, maybe some jewelry if she's really upset.
Always works for your mom.
Nate：I don't know. I think it might be for the best.
Nate's father：Wait a minute.You guys broke up?
Nate：Yeah, I guess we did.
Nate's father：Blair is a great girl.
Nate：I know. I'm just not sure if she's the girl for me.
Nate's father：And you guys have been dating since kindergarten.
Nate：So I keep hearing.
Nate's father：well, you love her, don't you?
Nate：Yes, I do. I just think it might be good for us to take a break, you know?
Nate's father：Maybe not right now. Eleanor waldorf is gearing up to take her company public and I've been courting her for months to let me handle the deal.
Nate：Then you should get it.
Nate's father：I will get it. If you could just help me out a little bit.What? You love her. She loves you.It's just a rough patch. That's all.You don't give up just because things are hard. Not in business, or if your family is depending on you.
****************************
Receptionist: How do you know it was Miss Van der woodsen's if you didn't read it? And if you're not a guest at the hotel,
what were you doing here?
Dan：What? Uh, look, when Prince Charming found Cinderella's slipper,they didn't accuse him of having a foot fetish.
Receptionist: And you're prince charming?
Dan：Well...
Receptionist: Well, there's Miss Van der woodsen now.
Dan：No, no!
Receptionist: Serena?
Dan：No, no, no, no, no.What are you doing? Don't.
Receptionist: Hey, um, do you know this young man?
Dan：She doesn't know me. Nobody knows me. It's cool. It's fine.
Serena：Uh... From last night.Are you? Um, I'm sorry about that.
Dan：You remember me? She remembers me.
Receptionist: Well, he claims he found your cell phone.
Serena：Oh! You found it.Hey, mom.
Lily：Guess what I got for you：a dress for kiss on the lips. I saw the invitation on the nightstand.
Serena：Oh, uh, I'm not going to that.
Lily：What do you mean? Blair's throwing it.
Serena：Yeah, um, see.The problem is: By the time I got the invitation, I actually already had plans.
Lily：Plans with whom?
Serena：My friend.
Dan：Uh... Yeah, hi.Uh, nice to meet you, Mrs. Van der woodsen. I'm Dan Humphrey.
Lily：What are you and Dan Humphrey doing?
Serena：We...Uh...


Serena：It's so I'm a little overdressed,aren't I?
Dan：Honestly, I don't really have a problem with your appearance.Hey, come on. I want you to meet one of the guys in the band.
Serena：Oh, so you're a groupie?
Dan：Well, not quite.Serena, I'd like you to meet Rufus Humphrey. Dad, this is Serena.
Rufus：Serena van der Woodsen. Oh, I don't know how I know that. Nice to meet you.
Serena：Nice to meet you, too.
Rufus：You guys are a little early.It's gonna be a while before we take the stage.
Dan：Yeah, I may have slightly overbudgeted for travel time.
Man: Hey.
Rufus：I should go tune that.Excuse me. Enjoy the show.Son, talk to you later.
Dan：Dad, see you.
Serena：So you took me to meet your dad on a first date?
Dan：So this…this is a date? Oh. Maybe I should've worn my loafers then dressed down a little bit.
***************************
Chuck：Let's go and talk somewhere quieter.
Jenny：Okay. Well, this is definitely quieter. But do you actually know where we're going or…
Chuck：Here looks pretty good.
Jenny：So... you said you wanted to talk.What'd you want to talk about?
Chuck：How into you I am. Okay, I'm…I'm sorry. Uh...If you don't want to do anything,that's cool. Let's start over.
Jenny：Yeah? Do you want to start over back at the party?
Chuck：Have a glass of champagne.Please?
Jenny：Maybe one.
***************************
Serena：Thanks. What?
Dan：Sorry. No, nothing, nothing. I just…My sister was right. You're nice.
Serena：But you asked me out on a date and you didn't think I was nice?
Dan：No, I just thought you were hot and technically, you asked me out.
Serena：Oh, okay. Okay,I see.So sensitive,tortured soul boy. Is actually kinda superficial, huh?
Dan：Yeah, just a little bit.
Serena：Good to know.
Dan：Sorry.
Serena：What, better offer?
Dan：No, it's my sister. She's at that kiss on the lips party, you know? She's having some problems with this guy Chuck.I'm sorry. I have to go.
Serena：I'll go with you.
Dan：No, really, that's okay.
Serena：No, no, listen.If it's Chuck, it's not okay.
***************************
Dan：Look, I'm gonna do a lap. Okay? Look for her.
Serena：Okay, yeah.
Girls：Serena? It's Serena! Oh my god! What?! She's really here? Is that really her? Everyone said she wasn't invited. I think she's wasted. Do you think Blair knows? What's she wearing? What's with that dress? She's so brave. You know Serena.She'd never miss a party.
Kati & Isabel：Serena's here?!
Blair：What is she doing here? She wasn't invited.
Nate：Blair, come on. Are you really gonna kick her out?
Blair：Did you invite her?
Nate：What? No! God, I told you.
Blair：Do not talk to her.
Nate：I was going for a walk.
***************************
Jenny：No!
Chuck：Quiet.
Jenny：Stop!
***************************
Serena：Hey, no luck?
Dan：No, I haven't seen her anywhere.
Serena：Come on. Let's try upstairs.
Dan：All right. There isn't gonna be anybody up here. This is pointless.
Serena：Dan.
Dan：What?
Serena：That's Chuck's scarf.
Dan：Oh, god.
***************************
Jenny：Get off! Stop!
Dan：Hey! Jenny!
Serena：Chuck, get off of her!
Dan：Are you okay? You son of a...
Chuck：What the hell is your problem?! It's a party. Things happen. Who are you anyway?
Dan：How many times do I have to tell you? I'm in your class. My name is Dan Humphrey and that is my little sister!
Serena：Come on, Dan .Let's go. Come on.Chuck, don't you ever touch her again!
Chuck：Hey, your life is over, slut! Don't forget, I know everything!
***************************
Dan：You sure you're okay?
Jenny：Yeah, I will be. Just take me home, okay?
Dan：So... Think I got a shot at a second date?
Serena：Well, I don't think you could top this one.
Dan：I did punch someone.
Serena：True.We'll talk about it in the cab.
Blair：She better not show her face again.
Chuck：I'm actually hoping he will.


Gia Farrell: Held me right
********************
Dan：Oh. Hey, you're up.
Jenny：And you're checking up on me.I'm okay. Really I'm okay.You know, I was okay when you asked me at the party and in the cab when we got home,before and after I brushed my teeth.Look, I just feel really stupid.I mean, how could I have actually thought
that Chuck Bass just wanted to talk to me?
Dan：Because you trust people,which is normally a good thing.
Jenny：Yeah, except when it involves Chuck.
Dan：Yeah, pretty much.
Jenny：So the real question is how are you?
Dan：Me? Why wouldn't I be okay?
Jenny：You know, at the end of the night, with Serena and the--the--the...(awkward wave)
Dan：Was it really that bad?
(flashback)
Serena：This is me. So... Good night.
Dan：Yeah.Yeah. good night.
Jenny： Go! Walk her to the door. Go!
Dan：Okay.Oh! Oh, god.That hurt a lot.
Jenny：Whoa, whoa, stop, stop.
Dan：Oh, I think I have brain damage.
Jenny：You know what, dan? You wouldn't even know if you had brain damage.
Dan：No, let's go, please.
Jenny：No!
Dan：H-hi.
****************
Eric：So he waved? I wouldn't take it from a waver.
Serena：Maybe he was just trying to be funny.
Eric：Maybe he's shy.
Serena：Or he hated me.
Eric：No guy in the history of the world has ever hated you.
**********************
Dan：She probably thinks I hate her now. I've waited my entire adolescent life for a date with this girl.You know,
Serena van der Woodsen and I decide to close the evening with a wave.
Jenny：It was a nice wave.
Dan：At the end of a date? Come on, there's no such thing. And you only get one shot with a girl like Serena.I got mine, and I blew it.
Jenny：Which means you have nothing to lose.
Dan：No, nothing except my last shred of dignity.
Jenny：Oh, no. I think that's gone.
Dan：You're right.You know what? I'm just… I'm gonna go talk to her. I'm gonna apologize for the wave. I'm gonna tell her
how much I like her and I'm gonna ask for a second shot.No, I'm gonna get a second shot.
Jenny：Yeah, you are.
Dan: Yeah.
Jenny：Wait, wait, wait. I love the plan.But you need a better outfit.And maybe a shower.
**************
Serena：Whatever. It's probably for the best.The last thing I need in my life is a new guy.He was just so smart though and funny.
Eric：It sounds like you like him.
Serena：And really nice.God! Blair was so mean to me last night. I don't even know why. Whatever, I'm sure if we talk about it,we can work it out.Hey, maybe I should go over there.
*********************
Blair: Serena had better just stay away.Thank you, Dorota.
Kati：Yeah, thanks.We love sleeping at Blair's.
Blair: I don't want to see Serena at school and she better not show at brunch today.
Kati：You're really mad at Serena.
Isabel：Yeah, I hope you never get that mad at us.
Blair: Well, you would never do what Serena did?
Kati：No, never.
Blair: Of course not.
Blair: I wonder if Nate remembered brunch.It would be so wrong for me to show up without my boyfriend Whom I love and who loves me.
(cell phone beeps)
Nate：Mm.Hello?
Blair: Hi, sweetie. Did I wake you?
Nate：No, I'm up.
Blair: Well. Get some strong coffee and jump in the shower,sleepyhead. Chuck's dad's brunch for his foundation is today at the Palace.
Nate：Oh, right. Of course.
Chuck：Nathaniel, keep it down.Some of us are trying to regain our strength.
Nate：Your dad's brunch is today.
Chuck：Alarm's set for 9:00.
Nate：It's 10:00.
Chuck：Ladies, double-time.Hmm? Oh, unless... Nathaniel.
Nate：I'm good.Actually, could you two bring some coffee
Chuck：when you get a chance?
Nate：And some water... Lots of water.
Woman：You want ice with that? Looks like you could use some.
Chuck：That's enough, ladies. And I'll be sure to tell my father just how committed you are to the hospitality industry.
Nate：That kid popped you pretty good, huh? Never mess with a guy's sister.


Chuck：I haven't even started, man. Okay, man, let's just go. Don't tell me you're sticking up for Serena's new bitch. If anyone's got a reason to kick his ass, it's you.
Nate: He's not worth it. Not here.
Chuck：This isn't over.
Dan：Hey anytime, man. That one black eye looks a little lonely.
Nate: Come on, chill out.
********************
Jenny：Wow. Blair, it's...it's beautiful. I mean, you look beautiful.
Blair：It's average. The color is last season. And besides Stella McCartney has A much better version at Bergdorf's.
Jenny：Right. I... I've been meaning to go by Bergdorf's. Wow! These dolls are great. Oh my god. You have a cabbage patch.My brother used to have one of these. His name was Cedric.
Blair：Your brother's name is Cedric?
Jenny：Uh, no. That was his cabbage patch kid. My brother's name is Dan.Actually, you might know him. He，um, he went out
with Serena last night.
Blair：That's your brother? So does that mean you're friends with Serena now?
Jenny：I mean, I don't have a problem with her but if someone did have a problem with her, I wouldn't have a problem with that either.
Blair：You know...If you like that dress,you can have it.
Jenny：What? No, no.
Blair：I'm sure you'll find some way to repay me.
Jenny：Oh, Blair, thank you. I mean for the dress and for the other thing about Chuck.
Blair：If you want to be part of this world Jenny. People will talk...Eventually. And you need to decide if all this is worth it.
********************
Serena：Dan. Hey.
Dan：I was in the neighborhood. Give or take 70 blocks. I just wanted to tell you in person that the end of last night may have not been my finest hour. There was a wave.
Serena：I saw that.
Dan：Yeah yeah and since then,I've just been wondering, uh... Are you hungry?
Serena：Yes. Actually, I've had the worst morning
Dan：Well. You wanna talk? And eat? Not necessarily in that order.
Serena：Yes, I would love to do both but food first because I'm starving.
Lily：Great. Just in time for brunch.
Serena：Mom.
Dan：Ms. Van der woodsen.
Lily：Dan... Still here.
Serena：Look mom, I really don't think it's a good idea for me to go to that brunch.
Lily：You promised.
Serena：Yeah, but that was before I knew Dan was hungry too.I can't let the boy starve.
Dan：It would be inhumane.
Lily：He's not invited.
Serena：Yeah, that's why I'm going with him.
Dan：Because I can't go with her.
Serena：And we have plans to go to brunch together today
Dan：We had those plans.
Lily：Serena, you're home.Living under my roof, my rules. What is it gonna take to get you dressed and through that door?
********************
Serena：Uh, you know what? May-Maybe this was a bad idea.
Blair：You've got to be kidding.
Dan：Yeah, this was--this was definitely a bad idea.
Chuck：This should be fun.
Gossip Girl：Looks like Chuck and Blair showed up with quite an appetite for destruction, that is.
********************
Jenny：Hey, dad. How's the new song going?
Rufus：Oh, I think I need more coffee.
Jenny：Whatever works.
Rufus：Where'd you get the dress?
Jenny：Oh, it was a thank-you gift. From Blair.For doing the party invitations.
Rufus：Oh, and it looks like a very expensive thank-you gift.
Jenny：Dad, she has a closet the size of this apartment.Just full of them. See, her mom designed it.
Rufus：And her mom is very talented but the dress you made for yourself is much nicer.
Jenny：Which is why you don't wear dress?
Rufus：One of a couple of reasons.
Jenny：Hey, you think the farmers market's still open?
Rufus：Yeah. Why, you wanna go?
Jenny：Yeah.
Rufus：I thought you were getting too old to go places with your Dad.
Jenny：Well, you used to be cool.And the '90s are having a comeback.
Rufus：You have no idea how much that hurts.
********************
Dan：Well, I can't say much for his child-rearing skills. But Bart Bass knows brunch.
Serena：I-I need to use the ladies room. Uh, you think you'll be okay by yourself for a while?
Dan：Yeah. Come on. Me and some beluga caviar? Can't get enough of the stuff.
Serena：Okay.
Dan：Hey, how's it going? No you're okay. Yeah, just go ahead and do your thing.
********************
Bart：Charles. Would you excuse me?
Chuck：Father.
Bart：The invitation said "black tie". Not "black eye." Are you okay? I mean, if you're 

麻烦吧主把另外一贴删了,我以为没通过,发重了.不好意思阿.

Dan: Is that true?
Blair: Well, then she ran away and lied about it. I just thought you should know before you fall head over heels for your perfect girl and her perfect world and then get left all alone with no one but your cabbage patch kid.
Nate：Cabbage patch?
Dan: Did you talk to my sister?
Chuck: Ah yes, little Jenny. I do believe she and I have some unfinished business.
Dan: You stay away from her.
Chuck: Poor Daniel. So little time.So many sluts to defend.
Dan: It's fine. It's fine. Everyone can stop looking. He's a jerk...But it's my fault and I'm leaving.
Serena: I'll go with you.
Dan: Actually I'd prefer if you didn't.
Nate：Hope you're happy.
Blair: Not even close.
Chuck: Looks like it's just you and me. Apparently my room is available.
Gossip Girl：Some might call this a "fustercluck." But on the upper east side, we call it sunday afternoon.
**************
Serena: Dan, wait. I'm so sorry.
Dan: There's no-There's no need to be. Really I shouldn't have come here today. I made a mistake.
Serena: No, you didn't. Look, I'm sorry about Blair and Chuck…
Dan: It's not about Blair or Chuck. I mean it is but it's-it's not just them.
Serena: No, I know. Trust me, I know. This world it's crazy.
Dan: Yeah, it is...And you're a part of it.
Serena: What, and you didn't know that?
Dan: I don't know. I thought you were different.
Serena: Well, I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was. But what's happened is in the past.You know and all I can do is try to change. But if you can't accept that.Then you know, you're not who I thought you were. Well, I guess we both made mistakes.
**************
Jenny: Hi.
Rufus: Hey, Jen said you went looking for Serena. Did you find her?
Dan: Mm. Yeah I found her and-and I lost her.
Rufus: Oh that's, uh...
Dan: It's fine. It's fine. Really, it's all for the best. Serena and her friends and her family. Her whole world. Turns out it wasn't for me.
Jenny: Wait Dan. What happened?
Dan: Did you tell Blair Waldorf about Cedric?
Jenny: I... It may have come up.
Dan: You can't trust these people Jen. Don't tell 'em anything. They're nice flowers.
Jenny: They're hydrangeas.
**************


Blair：Serena's at school.
Gossip Girl：Why'd she return?
Serena：Let me guess.You told everyone Eric's just visiting grandpa in Rhode Island.
Lily：Your aunt Carol in Miami.
Serena：He tries to take his own life and you're worried it's gonna cost you mom of the year?
Eric：Must be a lot of rumors why you're back.
Serena：None of them mention you.
Lily：Nate's gonna wait for serena.
Receptionist：He can get in line behind that guy.
Lily：I don't need some new boy influencing her,distracting her from her needs.
Rufus：A kid like Dan is exactly what Serena needs


Man：But no pressure.
*************
Rufus：Ah, it's not that bad.
Dan：It looks like I shaved with a wood chipper.
Jenny：I was going with more of a chain saw.
Dan：Not helping.
Jenny：Not trying to.
Rufus：Hey, look on the bright side.You're not a hemophiliac. Otherwise you'd be in the emergency room.
Jenny：And that's helping?
Dan：Not really.
Rufus：Dartmouth's gonna love you.
Dan：Yeah, I gotta believe being able to shave is a prerequisite for attending.
Rufus：No one is better qualified. No one is smarter. More well-rounded.
Dan：Or wounded? I have a trust fund to fall back on, Dad.You know, all I have is what's up here.
Rufus：Well, that is the most important thing. College is about academic excellence not your stock portfolio.Besides, you're gonna do great in your interview.You take after your dad that way.Spotlight doesn't phase us.
Jenny：Ooh, you better hope there's not a spotlight involved. I'm your sister.It's what I do.
Dan：Not when it's about Dartmouth.
*************
Woman：Remember, students...
Chuck：Nathaniel,A little wake and back.
Nate：We have our interviews today.
Chuck：My point exactly. (whispers) I have my 1-hitter.
Woman：...but underclassmen should consider this week a dress rehearsal.You are not only representing yourselves this week,but generations from our school and your families.
*************
Howie：Try not to cut me off next time.You almost knocked me over the side of the bench.
Nate：I didn't cut you off.I didn't mean to.
Howie：You win fair and square and nothing could make me prouder…till you get in the old Alma Mater, that is.
Nate：Dad we talked about this. About me keeping my options open, looking out west.
Howie：Yeah, of course. But let's get serious here.Someone with your grades wants to get into Dartmouth. You need to appear
to be working for it.
Nate：Dad I…
Howie：Ushering the rep is a good step.
Nate：How come every time I brought up going to USC you act like it's a joke?
USC - University of Southern California
Howie：Nate, there's a plan here.
Nate：Maybe I want to make my own plan.
Howie：Listen your mother and I didn't work hard so you can just make things up as you go along.Dartmouth.Law school.Blair.Soon you're gonna have everything.Listen, I'm late for work. Nail that interview today.Go green!
*************
Woman：As part of Ivy Week's festivities,at tomorrow night's mixer,Blair Waldorf will announce the charity.Her community outreach committee will honor this year.
Kati：Have you seen Serena?
Isabel：I wonder where she is.
Blair：And you know what I wonder? How I'm supposed to hear anything about Yale with all this talk about Serena.
*************
Blair：Do you remember when dad gave me my first Yale sweatshirt? I don't think any piece of clothing has ever fit me more perfectly,not to mention how adorable I found that bulldog. Remember when I asked you if I could get a bulldog? Good call, by the way,saying no.And now the big day is finally here. Soon Nate and I will be away at college. Him coming down to yale,me going up to dartmouth.Dad flying in for the Princeton game.I hope it doesn't make you feel old watching me grow up.


Maid：Eat up, Miss Blair. Your mom would want you to have a good breakfast.
*************
Woman：And now headmaster Prescott...
Blair：So Serena's really not here?
Kati：That's what I said.
Isabel：When you weren't supposed to be talking.
Man：Thank you, Miss Tedrow.
*************
Lily：Serena, come on. Hurry up.You're gonna be late.
Serena：I am! And I know.
Lily：You know, you shouldn't have stayed at your brother's again. I mean, why sleep there? It's not like he can even see you. His eyes are closed.
Serena：Do you have one maternal bone in your entire body?
Lily：Serena, you need your rest okay? It's Ivy Week.
Serena：I know and if I can get out of this hotel room. It's my sole mission in life to impress that Brown Rep.
Lily：Well, I am so thrilled to hear you say that's still your plan. Because, I mean,I know it's something we've always talked about.But honestly, since you've been back,I've wondered if your mind was even on college.
Serena：Look mom, I've had my mind on a lot of things. But since recent events,going away to college sounds pretty good.
Lily：How…how did you leave things with dan?
Serena：I don't want to talk about it.
Lily：What's going on with you and Blair?
Serena：Mom, please! Look, all I wanna do is just finish high school in peace and go away to a state with lots of people who don't know who I am and just start over, okay?
Lily：Take a cab. Don't walk.
*************
Serena：(under breath) Oh god. (normal voice)God! Please don't tell me it's over.
Dan：What? You were there. I would say it's pretty over.
Serena：I meant the assembly.
Dan：Oh, right. No, yeah. No, it just ended now.
Serena：Damn it.
Dan：Anyway, good luck.
Serena：Yeah, you too.
Blair：Oh, too bad you missed the assembly.Not that it matters. Brown doesn't offer degrees in slut.
Gossip Girl：Spotted: S，not so fashionably late and dressed down by B. Game on, ladies.
**********
Serena：Look, I made a mistake with Nate okay? But then you sab？me with Dan,we don't have to be friends but…oh! Ugh!
Referee：What's up, Waldorf?
Blair：Sorry. It slipped.
Serena：I'm fine. I really want to believe that was an accident.
Blair：Then you must be delusional.
Serena：Thank you.
Referee：Running out of colors here,Blair.
Serena：And I'm running out of patience. Enough, okay?
Blair：It's enough when I say it's enough.
Referee：Girls, break it up!
Blair：Get off of me!
Serena：Is that enough yet?! So we've actually come to physical blows, huh? Truth?
Blair：Ow! My leg!
Referee：Serena you're out of here.
Serena：I hope it's broken.
Gossip Girl：Hey upper east siders. We hear that World War III just broke out and it's wearing kneesocks.Choose your side or run and hide. We have a feeling this one's to the death.
**********
Man：And why should you be the Dartmouth usher?
Dan：Well I've given this a lot of thought and I think I can answer your question in three parts.And I'd like to start
With the third part first if it's cool unless that would be confusing. In which case, I can start at the beginning.The Dartmouth "principles of community" highlight integrity,responsibility and consideration.Well, from St.Jude's,I've learned integrity.From being an older brother,I have learned responsibility and from my parents,who have sacrificed everything to send me to this school, I've learned consideration.It really comes down to one thing：Dartmouth is my dream and I've never asked Dartmouth but...I think it's been dreaming of me.That-that was a joke or an attempt at one.Next question…


Man：You are the ideal Dartmouth candidate.
Dan：Thank you, sir.
Nate：And it would be an honor to attend Dartmouth.I've grown up hearing all about it from my father. I'm just not sure it's my first choice and if there's only one usher position available,I'm sure there's someone who wants it more than me.
Chuck：Why should I be chosen to be an usher? I'm Chuck Bass.
**********
Mr.Tedrow：Excuse me.
Nate：Hey. You get the one you wanted?
Dan：Uh...No. No. Actually you did, which makes total sense because I'm second in our class and you're somewhere around…What, I don't know, last?
Nate：No hard feelings, huh?
Dan：Why should there be? I mean, how many libraries has your Dad had to endow to get you this spot? You've earned it.
Nate：Look man, you don't know anything about my family.
Dan：I'm sorry.You're right. You're right. I'm sure J.L.Hall will be very impressed with your passion for the Dartmouth experience.
Nate：Who the hell is J.L.Hall?
Dan：He's the Ivy rep. You might want to pick up his book if you want anything to talk about."The Petting Zoo". That's the name
of his book.
Serena：Whoa. Angry guy, huh?
Dan：Short fuse. I'm trying to work on that.
Serena：Well, let me know how that goes for you.
Dan：Yeah, I'll keep you posted.
Serena：It's a tough week.
Dan：Not for me, apparently.
Serena：Oh, you got an usher position?
Dan：No, I didn't. In an ironic though. Not totally unexpected twist,Nate got the one I wanted.
Serena：I'm sorry.
Dan：Yeah well, I guess that's life when you're not a legacy.
Serena：Well hey, just 'cause you're not an usher doesn't mean you're not gonna get into an Ivy.
Dan：Yeah? Where'd your parents go to school?
Serena：Harvard and Brown.
Dan：That's-that's all I'm saying.
**********
Kati：I can't believe Serena did this.
Isabel：Yeah, such a cheap shot.
Blair：Finally.
Chuck：Hello to you, too. I heard about the field hockey throw down. All those mouth guards and short skirts, I hope somebody filmed it.
Blair：(scoffs) You're heinous.
Chuck：Which is probably why you called.
Blair：You know me well.
Chuck：Women like to pretend they're complicated. I know better.
Blair：My leg's numb now. How about a heating pad?
Kati：Sure.
Isabel：Okay.
Blair：Serena came home for a reason.
Chuck：One can only guess.
Blair：I'm done guessing.I want answers and no one likes to be on the ground floor of a scandal like Chuck Bass.
Chuck：I am a bitch when I wanna be.
Blair：Opportunity to cause some trouble, uncover a secret?
Chuck：Take "yes" for an answer. Let's turn back to school.I left something important behind.
**********
Rufus：Oh Danny boy, how was your day?
Jenny：He's about to hype dinner.
Rufus：'Cause no matter how good it was.It's about to get a lot better. I've outdone myself with the Bolognese.
Dan：(muffled) Sorry about the melodramatic entrance.
Rufus：You didn't get it?
Dan：No, I didn't get it.
Rufus：And that I do not get.
Dan：They...they gave it to Nate (muffled) Archibald! Oh! Last year, I believe he had an original thought. It died of loneliness.I'm sorry.


Rufus：You're sorry?
Dan：Yeah, I know how much you and mom sacrificed. The whole reason you send us to a school like this is so we can go to a college of our choice. What if that's all for nothing?
Rufus：It's not, okay? It's not. So you don't get to be the usher of some whatever party.
Dan：Dad, can I just stew alone for a while?
Jenny：We're Humphreys, Dad. Not exactly royalty uptown.
Rufus：Are you okay with that?
Jenny：No. But I'm used to it.
**********
Chuck：This is way too good.
Blair：Mom, how's paris?
Chuck：You're not going to believe where I found our little princess.
Blair：Really?
**********
Chuck：Admit it. Even for me, this was good.
Blair：If you weren't such a perv, I'm sure the C.I.A would hire you in a second.
Chuck：Defending my country. There's a future I never imagined.
Blair：With good reason. What is she doing there?
Chuck：Well, what's anyone doing there? It's a facility for the disturbed or addicted.
Blair：You must have your own wing.
Chuck：You don't get nearly enough credit for your wit. So the question is, what do you do now?
Blair：Well, I was thinking...total social destruction.
Chuck：And here I thought you were getting soft.So this is your bed, huh?
Blair：Leaving now.
Chuck：You can repay me another time.
**********
Serena：I've been in these sessions every day for the last week but nothing is going to change unless she stops hiding him here and lets him have his life back.
Lily：This is not called hiding Serena. It's called recovery.
Serena：Telling everyone he's staying with aunt Carol in Miami?
Lily：He's not ready.
Serena：He's not or you're not?
Woman：Okay, let's take a deep breath.It's good to see honest conversation.
Serena：What does she know about honesty?
Lily：Serena.
Woman：But I really think a decision like this includes Eric as well.
Eric：Oh, you mean I have a say in this? Wow. Thanks.
Lily：Eric, of course. We're here for you.
Serena：Look, if you're ready to leave, you tell us, okay? No matter what Mom says.
Eric：I would really like to get out of here...
Lily：Oh, no.
Eric：But maybe I'm not ready yet.
Serena：Hey, what about for a few hours? You can be my date to the Ivy week party tonight.
Lily：Serena, that party is an important event for you.
Serena：Well, he'll be around people he knows. It'll be fun comfortable.
Eric：Actually that sounds great.
Woman：Well, there we go. Compromise. That wasn't so hard, was it?
Lily：You know what? I have to go. Help them set up for tonight at the school. It's my job as both Parent Committee Chair and responsible mother.
Serena：It'll be great, okay?
**********
Rufus：Hi. How are you?
Woman：Good.
Rufus：Rufus Humphrey.
Woman：Mm-hmm.
Rufus：My kid Dan goes to St.Jude's and he really should have been selected as Dartmouth's usher. Maybe there was a mix-up. Some kind of a glitch in the system? I'd like to believe that. Because I like to believe the best in people.
Woman：I'm sorry, Mr. Humphrey.The usher positions have been filled. There's nothing we can do.
Rufus：Uh, is there anything else? Any other positions?
Woman：Uh, you'll have to discuss this with our committee chairwoman.
Rufus：Sure, perfect. I'd love to. Where can I find her?
Woman：I'm not sure. She must be running late.I…Oh, there she is now.
Rufus：Why am I not surprised?
Woman：Lucky for you, she seems to be in a good mood.
Rufus：Until she sees me.
Lily：Rufus.
Rufus：Told ya.
Woman：Excuse me.
Rufus：You got a minute, lil?
Lily：Not for you.
**********
Rufus：You're in.
Dan：What?
Rufus：The Ivy week party tonight. Your name will be on the program and everything.
Dan：You got me the Dartmouth spot?
Jenny：I knew you could do it, Dad.
Rufus：No, you didn't and no I didn't. How do you feel about the refreshment committee?
Dan：Well, there is-there is no refreshment committee.
Rufus：Not until now.
Jenny：Oh, god.
Rufus：What? Everybody gets thirsty. It's really a position of power.
Dan：How did you secure me this prominent and simultaneously embarrassing position?
Rufus：By offering my own services
Dan：Serving snacks?
Rufus：I'm the head of the entertainment committee.
Dan：Another committee that didn't exist until you left the house today.
Jenny：Way to go Dad. Wait. So who's the entertainment?
Rufus：Uh, since it was such short notice, the only person I could get was myself.
Dan：Kind of a staid affair for Early '90s postpunk math rock. Don't you think?
Rufus：I'm bringing a couple of the guys. It'll be Rufus unplugged.
Jenny：Need a roadie?
Rufus：Thanks sweetie


Dan：Should I call Mom and we can just make this a full-fledged Humphrey affair?
Rufus：Look, I did the best I could. At least you get to officially be a part of this thing. You can talk to that author you love.Ask him anything you want.
Dan：Like his, preference for soft drinks?
**********
Lily：If you get at all anxious, Sweetie.If you feel light-headed or panicky…
Eric：I'll be fine, Mom. All I have to do is be normal or at least act normal.
Serena：Works for mom.
**********
Serena：Do you see the Yale rep?
Lily：I thought you wanted to go to Brown and Blair wanted to go to Yale.
Serena：Yeah, I know.
Blair：My father would never forgive me if I didn't introduce myself. He says that you two used to do crew together.
Serena: Crew? Oh, hi. I'm Serena van der Woodsen. Blair, I didn't know you were interested in doing crew.
Blair：I'm not. I was just saying that there's a family connection because of my father…
Serena: In fact, I didn't know you were interested in athletics at all. Well, especially ones where you might get your hair wet. She's really more of the indoors type of girl. Oh, my goodness. Your glass is almost empty. Let's get you a drink.
Blair：Uh no, I'll take him.
Serena: Oh, don't worry about it. So tell me about Yale.
Blair：Can you please explain how Serena's commandeering the Yale rep while you're supposed to be his usher?
Chuck：I switched. I'm trying to get into Princeton. Oh, don't your la perlas in a bunch. Look who's arrived- Dr. Ostroff. Blair, Dr. Donald Ostroff.
Gossip Girl：Interesting choice of guest B
Blair：Such a pleasure. I've heard such wonderful things...
Blair：Coincidence? I think not.
Nate：I liked your book.
J.L.Hall: Oh, thanks. What did you think of the epilogue? Some people really love it. The New York Times called it a "cheap cop-out." Warner Bros.is making a movie. I think they're gonna change the end.
Nate：Well, I can see how the ending might not seem all that...commercial. Uh...would you like something to drink?
Bart：Lily, how are you?
Lily：Oh Bart, hello. How are you?
Bart：Hey, Eric. How's Miami?
Eric：It was good, thanks. You know, go Marlins. Would you excuse me, please?
Kati：So the neuroscience project I'm working on involves the cellular signaling pathway of neuronal Nitric oxide synthase.It's initiated when glutamate binds to n.m.d.a.r...
Jenny：Hi. You're Eric, right?
Eric：Yeah you're Jenny. Dan's sister?
Jenny：Yeah, we met at...
Eric：Bendel's. Yeah, I remember.
Jenny：Oh cool.
Howie：Eric, good to see you. You enjoy Miami?
Eric：Uh, yeah.Save the manatees.
Jenny：Manatees?
Eric：It's a long story.
Jenny：I've got time.
Eric：It's a little dark and...
Jenny：I can handle it.
Dan：You wanna go to Yale then?
Serena：No, Brown. It's just this thing with Blair.
Dan：Yeah, I get it.I mean, since you don't have to actually worry about getting into college,why not make the entire evening
about screwing over Blair?
Serena：No, thanks.(To Nate) Hey. Wait, you're seriously not gonna talk to me? Like, literally not speak?
Nate：Hey.
Serena：Oh, much better. Thanks guys.
Dan：So, um, what's he like?
Nate：Like a Dartmouth English lit professor. I have nothing in common with. Guess I could tell him how everything I have I got because I'm an Archibald.
Dan：You should mention Dr.Seuss. Theodor Geisel is his real name. He went to Dartmouth. Uh, Hall said he got the idea for "the petting zoo" from "the lorax."
Nate：The what?
Dan：Um, you know what? Never mind. Just-just mention how his prose style is influenced by early Faulkner. You'll be all right. Uh, or not.
Nate：I was actually gonna get some fresh air.How about you take these over to him?
Dan：All right. Yeah, I guess I could leave my post unmanned for a minute or two.
Howie：Where do you think you're going?
Nate：Home.
Howie：(scoffs) I don't think so.Now you get back out there and you finish what you started.
Nate：You mean what you started? I don't wanna go to Dartmouth. There I said it. Now back off.
********
Eric：So we moved into the hotel and uh...It was just the two of us and I was really lonely.
Jenny：So...That's when you...
Eric：So I ended up at the Ostroff center.And my mom says that they have the best counselors. But what they really get paid for is to to keep their mouths shut.
Jenny：Look I won't say anything.I promise. So do you wanna go back in?
Eric：Yeah, and answer more questions about Florida?


Jenny：Well, I have a grandma who lives in Fort Myers. I can help think of some material.
********
Blair：May I please have everyone's attention? Welcome again to the Constance Billard/ St.Jude's Ivy Week mixer. I'm Blair Waldorf. Chair of the community outreach Committee.Every year our schools choose to support one local institution that we feel benefits our community. This year our schools have chosen to honor the Ostroff center.This semester our choice is a very personal one because the center has helped one of our own.
Lily：What is going on here?
Blair：It's because of their excellent program which aids so many young addicts and alcoholics that a student here with us
today is clean and sober.At least for now. Can I please have Serena van der Woodsen join me onstage?
Gossip Girl：Spotted at Ivy Week mixer-S And B's last stand and only one gets out alive.Better take cover.
Lily：Please tell me this isn't happening.
Eric：It's not.
Serena：No.No, you're not going up there. You're gonna stay right here, okay?
Lily：Whatever you're doing. Think about who's standing in this room right now.
Blair：Don't try to deny it. Chuck saw you.
Serena：Hi. I'm Serena van der Woodsen. I just wanna thank my friend Blair Waldorf for recognizing the Ostroff center and all of the good things that they do.Thanks Blair.At the center,one of the main things that we learn is forgiveness.
Dan：She's in rehab?
Jenny：No, it's not her. It's her brother who's there.
Dan：What?
Jenny：You can't tell anyone okay?
Dan：I won't but why is she doing this?
Serena：I've learned about how… In order to move forward with our future,we must forgive those who have wronged us in the past and we must ourselves ask for forgiveness from those whom we've wronged. Without this forgiveness, innocent people get hurt…
Blair：All right, thank you Serena.Thank you. Thank you.
Gossip Girl：Honesty may be the best policy in some zip codes but not in this one and not this week 'cause "I was a teenage drug addict" is not exactly a winning college essay.
Blair：And now can I please have Dr. Ostroff join me onstage?
Lily：Why is Blair outing you for a drug problem that you don't have? You don't, do you?
Serena：Mom!
Lily：What's not like we have some free open relationship.
Serena：And that's my fault?
Lily：Look, what's happened to Eric has put a huge strain on our family but we are still a family.
Serena：Why do you think I did what I just did? Will you excuse me? I'm gonna go end this with Blair now. Blair, What the hell was that?
Blair：Will you excuse us please?
Man：Sure.
Serena：So we good now? Are we square?
Blair：No, because nothing I do will ever be as bad as what you did to me.
Serena：Look I'm asking you please. I'll stop if you will.
Blair：You're just saying that because today you lost and you're gonna keep losing. Now if you'll excuse me. Unlike you,I have a future to get back to.
Dan：Serena.Serena!
Serena：What? What do you want to congratulate me on destroying my future?
Dan：No, no, no, no, no, no. I just wanted to ask if you're okay 'cause what you did in there for your brother. That was... that was very cool.
Serena：Wait, how did you know about my brother?
Dan：It-it's okay. Really, no one will ever hear it from me but if you ever need anybody to talk to or not talk to, I'd be happy to do either.
Serena：I'll keep that in mind.
Dan：And um, I know I said some things about you and your world, I'm sorry. Obviously I don't know anything about your life.
Serena：Thank you but I've really got to get out of here.
Dan：Yeah, sure, sure.
Serena：But... Maybe you know, I can take you up on that getting together and not talking thing sometime? Will you call me?
Dan：Yeah.
*********
Lily：Okay, let's go. Let's get out of here.
Eric：No, there's someone I need to talk to first. Please mom, I can do this.
Lily：Okay.
Eric：Blair, can I talk to you? It'll just take a moment.
Blair：Sure. Sure.
Eric：Serena's not a patient at the Ostroff center.
Blair：Eric, you've always been a sweet kid and I can understand you're trying to protect your sister…
Eric：I am.
Blair：I've never even seen you take a drink.
Eric：I'm not an alcoholic. I did this. And today Serena protected me.
Blair：Eric, I...I didn't...
Eric：See that coming? Yeah. Oh, it must be a shock for someone who thinks she knows everything.
Chuck：And what was that all about?
Gossip Girl：Another bomb lands in Blair's lap. Will she use it as ammunition or will she finally surrender and put down her arms?
Blair：Nothing.
*********
Rufus：So you really impressed the guy, huh? Must be the way you poured those sodas.
