Gossip Girl here...
Your one and only source
2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,396
into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.
3
00:00:05,469 --> 00:00:07,384
Ivy, stop talking to your boyfriend
and start working.
4
00:00:07,509 --> 00:00:09,792
Charlie! Oh, my gosh!
5
00:00:09,917 --> 00:00:11,470
What are you doing here?
6
00:00:11,636 --> 00:00:13,445
"The Beautiful and The Damned"
wraps in a week,
7
00:00:13,496 --> 00:00:15,340
but how would you like
to keep working for me?
8
00:00:15,465 --> 00:00:16,350
I would love to.
9
00:00:16,516 --> 00:00:17,585
What are you looking for over there?
10
00:00:17,586 --> 00:00:18,602
My phone.
11
00:00:19,085 --> 00:00:21,813
I think I left it at the fashion show
when the assistant checked it in.
12
00:00:21,979 --> 00:00:24,089
I'm not interested in interviews
with New York's elite.
13
00:00:24,124 --> 00:00:26,291
I want their secrets and scandals.
14
00:00:26,342 --> 00:00:27,428
You had everyone's phones taken.
15
00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:29,128
Why didn't you just, you know,
look at some of them?
16
00:00:29,162 --> 00:00:30,718
Do you know someone called Ivy?
17
00:00:30,905 --> 00:00:34,618
The truth is, I can't wait to be a father,
and now I'm going to be one.
18
00:00:34,913 --> 00:00:36,787
I never intended to publish "Inside."
19
00:00:36,953 --> 00:00:39,071
Somehow it fell into
Simon & Schuster's laps.
20
00:00:39,105 --> 00:00:42,376
It's a satire of my entire
life and everyone I know.
21
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:44,674
You didn't write this book. I did.
22
00:00:45,261 --> 00:00:47,881
Bravo! He did it!
23
00:00:48,401 --> 00:00:50,966
I told you I'd get
him to step forward.
24
00:00:51,509 --> 00:00:53,868
Dan Humphrey,
Alessandra Steele, my agent.
25
00:00:56,521 --> 00:00:57,638
And who am I?
26
00:00:58,091 --> 00:01:00,099
That's a secret I'll never tell.
27
00:01:01,544 --> 00:01:02,768
You know you love me.
28
00:01:03,546 --> 00:01:04,735
X.O.X.O.

00:01:05,273 --> 00:01:06,401

31
00:01:12,694 --> 00:01:13,902
It's brilliant.
32
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:15,427
Really exceptional.
33
00:01:23,956 --> 00:01:25,124
Loved the book.
34
00:01:35,437 --> 00:01:37,486
Do I know you? Any of you?
35
00:01:37,554 --> 00:01:38,816
Do I know anyone here at all?
36
00:01:42,152 --> 00:01:43,407
The ending...
37
00:01:44,003 --> 00:01:45,299
Just slays me.
38
00:01:45,424 --> 00:01:49,214
Slays me how you're all alone
with no friends left...
39
00:01:49,215 --> 00:01:51,837
Surrounded by people who think
they know you but really don't.
40
00:01:51,962 --> 00:01:53,001
It's genius.
41
00:01:53,002 --> 00:01:55,037
Right, but, uh, it's not me.
It's the character Dylan Hunter.
42
00:01:55,038 --> 00:01:56,439
The book, is, uh,
the book is fiction.
43
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,851
Well, I'm happy to tell you it's
a brilliant piece of fiction
44
00:01:58,885 --> 00:02:01,186
that's number 38 on the
Amazon pre-order list.
45
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:03,576
25,000 shipped so far.
46
00:02:05,621 --> 00:02:08,343
Quick question. How big can my
head get before it explodes?
47
00:02:08,378 --> 00:02:11,727
Half the buys are probably upper east
siders dying to see if they're in it.
48
00:02:13,082 --> 00:02:14,216
Yeah.
49
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:16,201
Some of my friends
might feel they are.
50
00:02:16,236 --> 00:02:17,569
They're coming tonight, right?
51
00:02:17,604 --> 00:02:18,581
To the book party?
52
00:02:18,582 --> 00:02:20,988
No. I... haven't exactly
mentioned it to them yet.
53
00:02:21,324 --> 00:02:23,727
Um, I'd have to tell them
the book exists first.
54
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:26,146
They don't know? Not any of them?
55
00:02:26,852 --> 00:02:27,846
No.
56
00:02:28,565 --> 00:02:29,966
And I'm not sure
they're gonna like it
57
00:02:30,283 --> 00:02:31,485
when they find out.
58
00:02:31,935 --> 00:02:34,017
If they're really your friends,
they'll be happy to see your star rise,
59
00:02:34,018 --> 00:02:35,850
and they should be
at the soirée tonight
60
00:02:36,406 --> 00:02:37,723
when everybody learns
that "Anonymous"
61
00:02:37,757 --> 00:02:39,708
is actually Daniel Humphrey.
62
00:02:42,228 --> 00:02:44,746
I'm gonna need six
copies of this book, uh,
63
00:02:44,781 --> 00:02:46,648
that should probably
be hand-delivered.
64
00:02:48,034 --> 00:02:50,297
I'll see you later at Giorgio Armani
for your suit fitting?
65
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:51,951
And don't shave.
66
00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:53,883
Makes you look like a real writer.
67
00:02:59,779 --> 00:03:02,664
I now understand why women
used to go into confinement.
68
00:03:02,699 --> 00:03:05,579
It wasn't because of
modesty but vanity.
69
00:03:06,102 --> 00:03:07,168
Look at my boobs.
70
00:03:07,503 --> 00:03:08,937
Oh, I'm huge.
71
00:03:09,335 --> 00:03:11,191
- Are you even listening?
- Sorry, darling.
72
00:03:11,533 --> 00:03:15,703
I was just reading about how some
pregnant women have mood swings.
73
00:03:16,129 --> 00:03:19,407
Apparently, they didn't know
you before the pregnancy.
74
00:03:21,417 --> 00:03:23,228
Oh, you look gorgeous.
75
00:03:23,353 --> 00:03:25,971
I can't wait to tell the
whole world the good news.
76
00:03:26,096 --> 00:03:27,044
Me, too.
77
00:03:28,091 --> 00:03:30,530
My mother and Beatrice
arrive tonight.
78
00:03:30,977 --> 00:03:33,967
And I asked my mom and Cyrus to join us
for dinner at the Consulate.
79
00:03:34,067 --> 00:03:36,383
And then we'll tell
everyone together.
80
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,418
You don't think your family
is gonna be upset, do you?
81
00:03:39,452 --> 00:03:42,681
I don't want them to think of me
as the star of some trashy MTV show
82
00:03:42,847 --> 00:03:44,823
like "Unmarried and
pregnant Princesses"
83
00:03:44,857 --> 00:03:46,658
or, I don't know, "Royally Screwed."
84
00:03:46,709 --> 00:03:49,110
My mother will be over the moon.
85
00:03:49,128 --> 00:03:52,473
The job of any princess is to
provide an heir to the kingdom.
86
00:03:52,815 --> 00:03:55,250
And that is exactly
what you are doing.
87
00:03:55,284 --> 00:03:57,279
An heir to a kingdom lives within me.
88
00:03:58,381 --> 00:03:59,955
How very Shakespeare.
89
00:03:59,989 --> 00:04:01,934
A comedy, not a tragedy, I hope.
90
00:04:02,237 --> 00:04:05,894
So do I, which is why
I have to tell one person
91
00:04:05,929 --> 00:04:07,532
before we meet up with the families..
92
00:04:07,657 --> 00:04:09,410
And I can do that right now.
93
00:04:15,735 --> 00:04:18,357
Yeah, we received the latest draft.
It's on Jane's desk.
94
00:04:18,408 --> 00:04:20,375
Okay, I'll have her call you.
Thank you.
95
00:04:21,135 --> 00:04:22,293
Morning, everyone.
96
00:04:23,246 --> 00:04:25,632
I'm on a juice fast this week.
Not going to be pretty.
97
00:04:26,149 --> 00:04:28,528
Um, I will put those
in the fridge for you.
98
00:04:28,653 --> 00:04:30,385
I'll also request an
extra cashew drink.
99
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:31,938
It makes the day bearable.
100
00:04:32,104 --> 00:04:34,065
- Thank you. List.
- Yes.
101
00:04:34,231 --> 00:04:37,876
The coverage you wanted on the Krakauer
galley is on your desk, as well as
102
00:04:37,927 --> 00:04:40,379
the new spec script that
Sony won in the bidding war.
103
00:04:40,413 --> 00:04:41,219
What is it again?
104
00:04:41,344 --> 00:04:43,074
"American Psycho" in prep school.
105
00:04:43,533 --> 00:04:44,456
Make it go away.
106
00:04:44,901 --> 00:04:47,678
Also, um,
I know that it's a long shot,
107
00:04:47,679 --> 00:04:49,956
but I sent Daniel Day-Lewis
"The Blue Rose,"
108
00:04:50,122 --> 00:04:53,001
along with a note and a rosebush
that only grows in Ireland.
109
00:04:53,167 --> 00:04:55,253
I don't know.
I thought it might be a special touch.
110
00:04:55,695 --> 00:04:57,279
Daniel never agrees to do anything.
111
00:04:57,313 --> 00:04:58,897
The man took three years
to make a pair of shoes.
112
00:04:58,931 --> 00:05:01,176
But I like that you're
putting it out there. Sam?
113
00:05:01,342 --> 00:05:02,233
Yes?
114
00:05:02,234 --> 00:05:04,512
Could you get me and
Serena two green teas?
115
00:05:04,904 --> 00:05:06,540
Yeah, sure. Happy to.
116
00:05:08,157 --> 00:05:10,025
I knew that my instincts
were right hiring you.
117
00:05:10,043 --> 00:05:11,360
You're a smart cookie.
118
00:05:14,730 --> 00:05:16,983
You can look at your phone.
I don't run a gulag.
119
00:05:18,534 --> 00:05:19,544
Thank you.
120
00:05:22,988 --> 00:05:24,653
That's Piper Van Allen.
121
00:05:25,074 --> 00:05:26,485
And that's Sullivan Baker.
122
00:05:26,784 --> 00:05:29,269
And I care about
their PG-13 pictures because...
123
00:05:29,394 --> 00:05:32,705
'Cause Piper is married
to Jason Van Allen.
124
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:35,067
Oh, well,
I am slightly more interested.
125
00:05:35,101 --> 00:05:38,236
Yeah, and Sullivan's with
that celebrity florist guy.
126
00:05:38,271 --> 00:05:40,739
I think they got married
in Amagansett this summer.
127
00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:42,958
Oh. That's a twist
I wasn't expecting.
128
00:05:42,992 --> 00:05:43,932
Yeah.
129
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:47,362
Well, our phone swipe at
the Jenny Packham Show
130
00:05:47,396 --> 00:05:49,114
gave us some pretty good stories.
131
00:05:49,165 --> 00:05:51,022
Yeah, but pretty good isn't perfect.
132
00:05:51,667 --> 00:05:54,669
If only we had Blair Waldorf's phone.
133
00:05:54,704 --> 00:05:57,440
I told you, she's my friend.
My friends are off-limits.
134
00:05:57,907 --> 00:05:59,374
Oh. Morals.
135
00:05:59,408 --> 00:06:00,709
How quaint.
136
00:06:06,799 --> 00:06:09,267
I mean, why do you even hold on to that
phone if you're not gonna answer it?
137
00:06:09,493 --> 00:06:11,380
Because I don't have to
explain how I got it.
138
00:06:11,738 --> 00:06:14,085
But I am too intrigued
by our mysterious "Ivy"
139
00:06:14,086 --> 00:06:15,073
to just toss it away.
140
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:17,210
Well, we could always lie,
say we found it on the street.
141
00:06:17,643 --> 00:06:19,844
How are we gonna find her?
142
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:23,466
Look. There are no names in the phone,
only numbers.
143
00:06:23,632 --> 00:06:25,427
And there was no tag
for her at the party.
144
00:06:25,593 --> 00:06:27,846
Well, maybe she was just a crasher.
You know, a nobody.
145
00:06:28,158 --> 00:06:30,932
Mm. Nobodies don't hide their friends.
They advertise them.
146
00:06:31,416 --> 00:06:33,059
I have a feeling about this girl.
147
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,508
- Wait, hold on. I know that number.
- Yeah?
148
00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:43,653
All right, well, I'll be back in a bit,
hopefully with a new lead.
149
00:06:56,769 --> 00:06:58,752
Your call has been
forwarded to an automated...
150
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:00,802
Still haven't found your phone?
151
00:07:00,837 --> 00:07:03,722
No, and I've been calling it nonstop.
152
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:04,973
Well, maybe it's time for a new one.
153
00:07:05,007 --> 00:07:07,135
New city, new cell phone. Hmm?
154
00:07:07,497 --> 00:07:10,829
Yeah, but my whole
world's in that phone.
155
00:07:10,863 --> 00:07:13,815
Final mix of Panic's debut album.
156
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:16,353
This is so exciting.
157
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,021
Yeah, it's been a long time coming.
158
00:07:18,187 --> 00:07:21,456
Do you ever regret not getting
back into music sooner, Rufus?
159
00:07:21,490 --> 00:07:23,925
Nah. No, I wouldn't give up
raising my kids for anything.
160
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,428
I mean, I love music,
but Dan and Jenny, they're my life.
161
00:07:26,462 --> 00:07:28,110
Okay, everybody ready?
162
00:07:30,017 --> 00:07:31,868
Maybe that's Dan.
I was hoping he would join.
163
00:07:33,257 --> 00:07:34,226
Good boy.
164
00:07:35,438 --> 00:07:36,375
Hello.
165
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,356
Do you know what
this summoning is about?
166
00:07:38,391 --> 00:07:40,892
I do but I can't say.
I'm sworn to secrecy.
167
00:07:40,943 --> 00:07:42,727
Since when do you bite your tongue?
168
00:07:42,762 --> 00:07:43,728
I'm learning.
169
00:07:44,409 --> 00:07:46,982
Well, isn't Humphrey becoming
quite the Drama Queen?
170
00:07:47,016 --> 00:07:50,508
- Isn't that usually your role?
- I prefer Drama Princess now.
171
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:54,057
How are you, by the way?
172
00:07:55,510 --> 00:07:57,936
I'm okay.
Thanks for asking.
173
00:08:02,126 --> 00:08:04,185
Sorry. Squirrels.
174
00:08:05,150 --> 00:08:06,000
Shall we?
175
00:08:07,831 --> 00:08:08,863
What are you guys doing here?
176
00:08:09,157 --> 00:08:11,282
We must have all gotten
the same text from Dan.
177
00:08:11,448 --> 00:08:13,930
The last time he was this secretive,
he showed up with a baby.
178
00:08:14,181 --> 00:08:16,715
Don't worry. You're not about
to become a grandfather,
179
00:08:16,716 --> 00:08:19,374
though Dan is about to
give birth in another way.
180
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:25,855
Okay, I'm pretty sure this is
how every murder mystery begins.
181
00:08:26,213 --> 00:08:28,884
- Serena, how was your job?
- Really great, actually.
182
00:08:28,885 --> 00:08:31,010
So great she has no time for me.
183
00:08:31,176 --> 00:08:33,943
Well, I would if you weren't
asleep every time I got home.
184
00:08:33,944 --> 00:08:35,682
Uh, I'm still jet-lagged.
185
00:08:35,848 --> 00:08:37,142
Haven't you been home for weeks?
186
00:08:37,308 --> 00:08:39,310
It certainly feels that
way when I'm around you.
187
00:08:39,476 --> 00:08:40,520
Serena, quick question.
188
00:08:40,746 --> 00:08:43,815
You don't happen to know
a girl named Ivy, do you?
189
00:08:43,981 --> 00:08:45,326
Uh, I don't think so. Why?
190
00:08:45,327 --> 00:08:48,301
Oh. Well, I found her cell,
but I don't know how to get it back to her.
191
00:08:48,302 --> 00:08:50,864
- Your number was in her phone book.
- What's her number? I'll dial it.
192
00:08:52,727 --> 00:08:53,977
Look! Here's Dan.
193
00:08:56,082 --> 00:08:58,134
Hey, everyone.
Thank you so much for coming.
194
00:08:58,259 --> 00:08:59,213
I only have five minutes.
195
00:08:59,214 --> 00:09:01,958
- This better be really important.
- What is this all about?
196
00:09:02,124 --> 00:09:03,877
- Is everything all right?
- This isn't about me, right?
197
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:07,005
- Yeah, what's going on, Dan?
- This is going to be fun.
198
00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:12,564
I'm sorry to call everyone here
on such short notice, but, uh...
199
00:09:13,697 --> 00:09:14,894
All right, you know how there's been
200
00:09:15,019 --> 00:09:17,467
all this speculation about the
book that's being published
201
00:09:17,468 --> 00:09:18,690
by an anonymous author?
202
00:09:18,691 --> 00:09:20,685
Yeah.
Gossip Girl said it was about us.
203
00:09:20,851 --> 00:09:23,521
Yeah, it was probably written by
some loser who doesn't even know us.
204
00:09:23,687 --> 00:09:24,814
Well, not exactly.
205
00:09:28,708 --> 00:09:30,573
I am that loser.
206
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:32,280
I wrote it.
207
00:09:33,193 --> 00:09:37,122
And it is based on... you,
sort of all of you.
208
00:09:37,212 --> 00:09:41,546
Looks like it's going to be a hot
time in this old town tonight.
209
00:09:41,671 --> 00:09:46,324
Let's just hope lonely boy and
his book don't go up in flames.
210
00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:50,924
Hey. What are you doing?
211
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:52,804
I thought you were
waiting downstairs.
212
00:09:52,805 --> 00:09:55,470
I'm tired of waiting.
When are you gonna tell them?
213
00:09:56,784 --> 00:09:58,764
Soon. I promise.
214
00:09:58,889 --> 00:10:00,433
"Soon" isn't soon enough.
215
00:10:01,181 --> 00:10:03,019
It's time they all knew about us.
216
00:10:08,445 --> 00:10:09,639
What's so funny?
217
00:10:10,271 --> 00:10:11,524
I think you should ask Dan.
218
00:10:11,525 --> 00:10:14,489
Well, I might've made
your character a little...
219
00:10:14,655 --> 00:10:15,281
Gay.
220
00:10:16,281 --> 00:10:18,952
I hope that's okay.
Stop enjoying this so much.
221
00:10:19,118 --> 00:10:21,456
You wanted me to feel something.
That's a feeling.
222
00:10:22,019 --> 00:10:24,457
- Do I have game?
- Oh, definitely.
223
00:10:26,143 --> 00:10:27,085
I'm cool with that.
224
00:10:27,251 --> 00:10:29,003
I know it's gonna be a little weird
225
00:10:29,169 --> 00:10:32,840
with everyone reading characters
inspired by themselves,
226
00:10:33,006 --> 00:10:34,814
but I wanna make it clear...
227
00:10:35,983 --> 00:10:37,483
This book is a work of fiction.
228
00:10:37,604 --> 00:10:40,783
And after you read it, I hope that
you'll feel good enough about it and me
229
00:10:40,784 --> 00:10:43,106
that, uh, you will come to
this book party tonight.
230
00:10:43,107 --> 00:10:45,979
The publisher is announcing
that I'm the author. So...
231
00:10:46,594 --> 00:10:48,022
Yeah. Of course we'll be there.
232
00:10:48,188 --> 00:10:50,359
Well, read it first and
then decide because I...
233
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,026
You know, I didn't have a
lot of time to make changes,
234
00:10:52,027 --> 00:10:56,430
and there are some instances where it's
not exactly how I would've wanted it.
235
00:10:57,180 --> 00:10:59,666
Well, an artist never
feels his work is perfect.
236
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:00,810
But it's good to
always strive for more.
237
00:11:00,811 --> 00:11:02,161
I am so proud of you, son.
238
00:11:02,327 --> 00:11:06,534
I am gonna cancel my whole day with
panic just so I can savor your book.
239
00:11:08,144 --> 00:11:11,054
So... now that this
unnecessary meeting
240
00:11:11,055 --> 00:11:14,129
about America's future
doorstop is adjourned,
241
00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:16,195
do you wanna go grab a cup of decaf?
242
00:11:16,196 --> 00:11:18,581
Oh, I would love to, B,
but I'm already late for work.
243
00:11:18,582 --> 00:11:19,463
I gotta get back.
244
00:11:19,464 --> 00:11:20,763
Well, maybe after work then?
245
00:11:20,929 --> 00:11:22,741
If this is about the book,
don't worry.
246
00:11:22,742 --> 00:11:24,158
Everyone loves a villain.
247
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:26,313
I wouldn't say there's a villain,
per se.
248
00:11:26,438 --> 00:11:28,180
Well, I can tell you who isn't.
249
00:11:28,181 --> 00:11:31,566
Come on. Every girl needs to be
knocked off her pedestal a little.
250
00:11:32,046 --> 00:11:33,882
Can't handle that kind of pressure.
251
00:11:34,766 --> 00:11:36,229
I'll see you later.
252
00:11:37,428 --> 00:11:40,688
Um, you know that story
I wrote that Louis killed?
253
00:11:40,789 --> 00:11:41,978
It's in the book?
254
00:11:44,995 --> 00:12:09,950
Yeah, I figured.
But if it's all the same to you,
255
00:11:44,996 --> 00:11:48,646
I think I'd like to stay in the dark about
just how nastily you've portrayed me.
256
00:11:48,647 --> 00:11:49,652
Yeah, that's a good idea.
257
00:11:49,653 --> 00:11:51,923
I mean, you know,
we're just recently friends again.
258
00:11:51,924 --> 00:11:53,096
Why ruin a good thing?
259
00:11:53,097 --> 00:11:55,737
Yeah, and, uh, I'm sorry in advance,
260
00:11:55,738 --> 00:11:59,376
but I have a better offer
than your party tonight.
261
00:11:59,377 --> 00:12:01,471
Louis and I are telling
our families our news.
262
00:12:01,637 --> 00:12:02,722
Good luck.
263
00:12:02,945 --> 00:12:03,997
You, too.
264
00:12:04,283 --> 00:12:10,396
Your novel seems to be, uh, very
well-punctuated, and I liked the font.
265
00:12:14,454 --> 00:12:16,944
Yeah. I'll, uh,
I'll be right over. Bye.
266
00:12:19,838 --> 00:12:22,075
A book written about you guys.
It sounds exciting.
267
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:25,676
Well... I hope he wasn't writing
it when I went nutso last year.
268
00:12:25,677 --> 00:12:28,925
Trust me, there was enough insanity
around before you even got here.
269
00:12:30,751 --> 00:12:31,802
So...
270
00:12:32,479 --> 00:12:35,505
You and Serena were talking
about a girl named Ivy?
271
00:12:35,671 --> 00:12:39,394
I think I met someone at
the Jenny Packham Show with that name.
272
00:12:40,851 --> 00:12:41,961
Can I help?
273
00:12:42,977 --> 00:12:43,819
Actually, yeah.
274
00:12:43,820 --> 00:12:46,231
I was just hoping to find
her and give her phone back.
275
00:12:46,232 --> 00:12:49,428
I think she was with one
of Lily's society friends.
276
00:12:49,429 --> 00:12:54,715
Maybe we could look through her
phone contacts, jog my memory?
277
00:12:54,716 --> 00:12:56,608
I left it at the office,
but yeah, I could do that.
278
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:59,018
Do you happen to remember
what she looks like?
279
00:12:59,064 --> 00:13:02,227
Hmm. Blonde...
Boobs...
280
00:13:02,713 --> 00:13:03,864
Botox?
281
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,868
That pretty much describes
everyone at the event.
282
00:13:08,165 --> 00:13:10,415
If I saw her,
I'd probably recognize her.
283
00:13:14,337 --> 00:13:15,225
What'd I miss?
284
00:13:15,226 --> 00:13:21,345
Uh, Nigel Kirstein called for you, and
we got an advance copy of this new book
285
00:13:21,346 --> 00:13:23,234
by some anonymous New York insider,
286
00:13:23,235 --> 00:13:25,430
and everyone in town is
trying to figure out who.
287
00:13:25,687 --> 00:13:27,841
Well, I know who. I used to date him.
288
00:13:30,020 --> 00:13:31,186
Shut up.
289
00:13:32,404 --> 00:13:34,191
No way. You're "Sabrina"?
290
00:13:35,612 --> 00:13:37,692
The dreamy blonde with the legs.
291
00:13:38,383 --> 00:13:39,642
I guess I am.
292
00:13:40,276 --> 00:13:42,534
Hi, uh, this is
Serena Van Der Woodsen returning.
293
00:13:42,659 --> 00:13:43,941
Yeah, I'll hold.
294
00:13:44,066 --> 00:13:46,786
Did you actually have cases of
champagne delivered to your school?
295
00:13:46,787 --> 00:13:48,261
Is that what he wrote?
296
00:13:49,182 --> 00:13:51,008
No, a friend was
pulling a prank on me.
297
00:13:51,009 --> 00:13:52,177
But it happened?
298
00:13:52,178 --> 00:13:54,311
That was in high school.
Keep reading.
299
00:13:54,312 --> 00:13:57,196
You'll see I mature as he
gets to know me better.
300
00:13:57,522 --> 00:14:00,468
Hey. Oh, no,
it's great to hear from you, too.
301
00:14:02,529 --> 00:14:03,733
What?
302
00:14:04,657 --> 00:14:09,327
Daniel Day-Lewis responded to my
letter about "The Blue Rose"?
303
00:14:09,452 --> 00:14:10,596
Himself?
304
00:14:12,368 --> 00:14:14,306
Yeah. No, of course.
305
00:14:14,554 --> 00:14:16,279
Okay, thank you so much.
306
00:14:17,939 --> 00:14:18,744
What was that?
307
00:14:18,745 --> 00:14:19,748
That was his manager.
308
00:14:19,749 --> 00:14:23,309
They wanna set up a conference
call to talk about the project.
309
00:14:23,343 --> 00:14:24,625
I have to tell Jane right now.
310
00:14:24,626 --> 00:14:27,700
Oh. Dylan Hunter said
everything comes easy for you.
311
00:14:28,337 --> 00:14:30,335
Keep reading. I told you.
312
00:14:31,421 --> 00:14:32,663
I'm almost through.
313
00:14:42,939 --> 00:14:46,038
So... I was thinking
"Pierre" maybe if it's a boy,
314
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:47,748
since it's a Grimaldi family name.
315
00:14:47,749 --> 00:14:49,203
Why not "Charles"?
316
00:14:49,629 --> 00:14:52,352
It's a name that seems to have
special significance to you.
317
00:14:54,239 --> 00:14:55,240
What?
318
00:14:56,551 --> 00:14:58,288
Louis, is something wrong?
319
00:14:59,424 --> 00:15:01,245
I know you were with Chuck.
320
00:15:02,069 --> 00:15:04,909
Is that who you needed
to tell our news to?
321
00:15:05,744 --> 00:15:06,664
No.
322
00:15:07,444 --> 00:15:10,245
It was Serena,
and I didn't even get a chance to.
323
00:15:10,555 --> 00:15:13,740
Dan gathered us all together because
he wrote some novel about everyone,
324
00:15:13,741 --> 00:15:16,005
and he wanted to make sure
we knew about it first.
325
00:15:16,006 --> 00:15:18,000
But the way he said he
made you in that story...
326
00:15:18,001 --> 00:15:20,391
If there's an entire book,
it could be terrible.
327
00:15:20,931 --> 00:15:22,616
I would expect nothing less.
328
00:15:22,722 --> 00:15:23,894
I was mean to him
on the steps of the met.
329
00:15:23,895 --> 00:15:26,300
I bad-mouthed him repeatedly
to his dream girl.
330
00:15:26,466 --> 00:15:27,489
I tried to undermine him at "W."
331
00:15:27,490 --> 00:15:29,764
I'm sure he's brutal.
332
00:15:29,765 --> 00:15:31,065
Look, he may be calling this a novel,
333
00:15:31,066 --> 00:15:34,954
but I know just how little
imagination he really has.
334
00:15:34,955 --> 00:15:38,599
It's a memoir masquerading as
fiction like a reverse James Frey.
335
00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:40,457
So you're going to read it?
336
00:15:41,391 --> 00:15:42,177
No. No.
337
00:15:42,178 --> 00:15:43,934
And you shouldn't either.
338
00:15:43,935 --> 00:15:48,215
Look... that book has nothing to do
with us and the family we're building.
339
00:15:48,624 --> 00:15:50,999
Whatever's in there,
even if it is the truth,
340
00:15:51,407 --> 00:15:52,710
it's in the past.
341
00:15:53,970 --> 00:15:55,246
Now if you'll excuse me,
342
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:58,383
this baby of yours is making
me so tired, I need to lie down.
343
00:16:04,904 --> 00:16:06,061
Still nothing?
344
00:16:06,652 --> 00:16:09,491
The woman I met's not even
in the background anywhere.
345
00:16:10,383 --> 00:16:11,721
Maybe she's a ghost.
346
00:16:12,149 --> 00:16:16,047
Well, at an Upper East Side event,
we just call them first wives.
347
00:16:16,820 --> 00:16:19,101
Nate, can I see you for a minute?
348
00:16:19,203 --> 00:16:21,522
Uh... yeah.
349
00:16:21,688 --> 00:16:22,719
Sure.
350
00:16:22,844 --> 00:16:25,741
I'm sorry.
You know, I can leave.
351
00:16:25,742 --> 00:16:28,567
It's fine. I only need a minute.
I'm Diana, by the way.
352
00:16:28,917 --> 00:16:30,214
So I gathered.
353
00:16:30,339 --> 00:16:31,240
Charlie.
354
00:16:36,194 --> 00:16:38,168
Hey. Who is that and
why is she in my office?
355
00:16:38,169 --> 00:16:40,444
Charlie Rhodes, all right?
Serena's cousin.
356
00:16:40,445 --> 00:16:43,694
And she said she met a woman named
Ivy at the Fashion Show last week.
357
00:16:43,695 --> 00:16:45,055
I don't care who she is.
358
00:16:45,056 --> 00:16:47,367
We can't have strangers in
here going through our photos.
359
00:16:47,368 --> 00:16:48,616
You should know better.
360
00:16:49,202 --> 00:16:51,248
Listen, she's trustworthy, I promise.
361
00:16:51,249 --> 00:16:53,587
I don't care. Get rid of her.
362
00:16:54,706 --> 00:16:56,596
I'm sorry. I...
363
00:16:57,177 --> 00:16:58,412
Wasn't any more help.
364
00:16:58,413 --> 00:17:02,021
If I remember anything more about her,
I'll let you know.
365
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:04,857
It was really nice to meet you.
I've heard so much.
366
00:17:05,939 --> 00:17:07,512
- I'll see you.
- Bye.
367
00:17:15,596 --> 00:17:17,072
Thanks for letting me hang here, man.
368
00:17:17,073 --> 00:17:20,049
I'm rather enjoying
watching you squirm. Scotch?
369
00:17:20,174 --> 00:17:22,771
- It's, like, 2:00 P.M.
- Valium then?
370
00:17:23,428 --> 00:17:26,774
I'm guessing my dad is, uh,
probably halfway through
371
00:17:26,775 --> 00:17:28,816
and Nate's probably still on page 20.
372
00:17:29,352 --> 00:17:30,501
I wonder if they're
gonna be upset with me.
373
00:17:30,502 --> 00:17:32,102
Alessandra said it
isn't that scathing.
374
00:17:32,103 --> 00:17:35,251
An I am...
I'm harshest on myself.
375
00:17:35,252 --> 00:17:37,841
I hope they can see that.
Come here, buddy.
376
00:17:38,609 --> 00:17:39,692
Stop whining.
377
00:17:39,693 --> 00:17:43,461
You're not the first person to use the
world around them for inspiration.
378
00:17:43,462 --> 00:17:46,565
Didn't your dad get temporarily
famous singing about Lily?
379
00:17:46,731 --> 00:17:49,386
Yeah, but my book isn't a love song,
you know?
380
00:17:51,206 --> 00:17:52,622
Why aren't you mad at me?
381
00:17:53,149 --> 00:17:56,800
Your character dies... accidentally, but
it's not a... it's not a happy ending.
382
00:17:56,801 --> 00:18:00,132
On the contrary...
although clearly fiction.
383
00:18:00,133 --> 00:18:01,524
I've never use a belt.
384
00:18:01,525 --> 00:18:04,184
I'd use a Shahtoosh scarf.
Much softer.
385
00:18:04,185 --> 00:18:08,129
Well, let's hope everyone
else shares your point of view.
386
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:10,127
All success comes at a price.
387
00:18:10,645 --> 00:18:13,687
The artist must stand alone
to observe the crowd, right?
388
00:18:14,890 --> 00:18:16,846
It's funny.
Vanessa said the same thing.
389
00:18:17,874 --> 00:18:19,650
Hey, dad...
390
00:18:20,705 --> 00:18:21,716
Really?
391
00:18:22,737 --> 00:18:24,437
Great. You're coming. All right.
392
00:18:24,603 --> 00:18:27,099
Uh, you know,
I have another call but..
393
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:30,102
but I'll see you tonight.
Okay? All right.
394
00:18:30,667 --> 00:18:31,391
Hello?
395
00:18:31,392 --> 00:18:34,447
Seems like things are
looking up for lonely boy.
396
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:36,304
Thank you. Thank you so much.
397
00:18:36,305 --> 00:18:37,242
It means a lot that you're coming.
398
00:18:37,243 --> 00:18:41,037
Let's hope they've actually read
the book and not judged it by its cover.
399
00:18:51,743 --> 00:18:55,523
How is it I can sleep for two
hours and still be so exhausted?
400
00:18:55,524 --> 00:18:57,558
Louis, are you sitting
here by yourself?
401
00:18:58,132 --> 00:19:01,880
I was just, uh, waiting for you to wake
up so I could tell you the bad news.
402
00:19:01,881 --> 00:19:04,022
My family is not going to make it.
403
00:19:04,147 --> 00:19:07,530
There is a terrible storm over
the Atlantic that has delayed their trip.
404
00:19:08,446 --> 00:19:10,448
I'll let my mom and Cyrus know.
405
00:19:10,786 --> 00:19:12,858
We can tell them tomorrow when
Sophie and Beatrice arrive.
406
00:19:12,859 --> 00:19:14,498
If they make it by then.
407
00:19:16,296 --> 00:19:19,615
Well... what do you want
to do tonight instead?
408
00:19:19,622 --> 00:19:21,985
Shall I make a reservation
for Gramercy Tavern?
409
00:19:22,709 --> 00:19:24,915
I have some work to catch up on.
410
00:19:26,020 --> 00:19:28,392
Why don't you go to Dan's book party?
411
00:19:29,227 --> 00:19:30,861
I'm sure he'd love to see you.
412
00:19:33,026 --> 00:19:34,078
Okay.
413
00:19:40,556 --> 00:19:42,673
Louis just lied to
me about his family.
414
00:19:43,835 --> 00:19:44,767
How you know?
415
00:19:44,933 --> 00:19:48,777
My outfit for tonight's announcement
included a pair of crocodile Alaia's,
416
00:19:48,778 --> 00:19:50,439
and you can't wear
such a beautiful shoe
417
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,815
if there's even a hint
of sprinkle outside.
418
00:19:53,244 --> 00:19:54,796
So of course I checked the weather.
419
00:19:54,797 --> 00:19:56,682
Clear from Monaco to Manhattan.
420
00:19:56,683 --> 00:19:59,595
Maybe have something to
do with lonely boy book.
421
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,952
Louis was reading while you sleep.
422
00:20:02,077 --> 00:20:03,827
He did not look happy.
423
00:20:04,888 --> 00:20:07,010
I told him not to read it,
424
00:20:07,502 --> 00:20:10,222
it's not like there's anything in
it that he doesn't know about me.
425
00:20:14,673 --> 00:20:15,868
Oh, my God.
426
00:20:16,721 --> 00:20:18,428
I'm gonna kill Dan Humphrey.
427
00:20:20,408 --> 00:20:22,908
Oh, God,
the R.S.V.P.S are rolling in!
428
00:20:22,994 --> 00:20:25,059
The literary world is
saying "yes" to you.
429
00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:26,199
To "Anonymous."
430
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,921
Let's hope they're still interested
when they find out he's me.
431
00:20:28,922 --> 00:20:30,020
They will be.
432
00:20:30,186 --> 00:20:32,742
That and dying to know who
you based the characters on.
433
00:20:32,743 --> 00:20:34,947
We'll want to get a photo of you
with all your friends tonight.
434
00:20:34,948 --> 00:20:37,901
That way, people can play the
guessing game of who's who.
435
00:20:39,101 --> 00:20:40,123
You know, I don't know.
436
00:20:40,124 --> 00:20:41,323
I'm not sure that
they're gonna want to...
437
00:20:41,489 --> 00:20:43,891
To be the lead photo
on "New York Social Diary"?
438
00:20:43,892 --> 00:20:46,269
They wouldn't all be coming if
they didn't want to support you.
439
00:20:46,270 --> 00:20:47,969
Well, not everyone's coming.
Blair's not.
440
00:20:47,970 --> 00:20:49,060
Yes, she is.
441
00:20:49,061 --> 00:20:51,041
She just R.S.V.P.'D. it's right here.
442
00:20:51,825 --> 00:20:54,510
Blair Waldorf, no plus-one.
443
00:20:55,233 --> 00:20:57,931
Really? 'Cause she told
me herself that she...
444
00:21:02,462 --> 00:21:06,775
So, my ex in Scott Rudin's office called.
445
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:08,488
Apparently, everyone is talking about
446
00:21:08,489 --> 00:21:11,004
the book that your friend
wrote and your character in it.
447
00:21:11,005 --> 00:21:12,484
Oh, I told him that you're Sabrina.
448
00:21:12,485 --> 00:21:13,665
I hope that's not a problem.
449
00:21:13,666 --> 00:21:15,417
No, not at all.
450
00:21:15,672 --> 00:21:17,977
It's nice to play such a
big part in Dan's book.
451
00:21:17,978 --> 00:21:19,458
We've always been so close.
452
00:21:19,459 --> 00:21:22,778
Ugh! He must've been a Saint
to put with you that long.
453
00:21:22,890 --> 00:21:26,551
Remind me never to start a juice fast
the day we talk to Daniel Day-Lewis.
454
00:21:26,552 --> 00:21:28,549
Uh, your pineapple
mint's on the desk.
455
00:21:32,573 --> 00:21:34,714
Better. Let's seal this deal.
456
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:36,077
Jane Bettinger's office.
457
00:21:36,078 --> 00:21:37,013
Serena?
458
00:21:37,014 --> 00:21:38,380
Yeah. Hi, Nigel. It's me.
459
00:21:38,546 --> 00:21:40,648
I'm putting you
on speaker with Jane now.
460
00:21:40,773 --> 00:21:42,158
Daniel's manager.
461
00:21:42,658 --> 00:21:44,345
We're going to need to
postpone the meeting.
462
00:21:44,511 --> 00:21:45,931
Sorry for the short notice.
463
00:21:45,932 --> 00:21:48,432
Uh, hold on a minute.
I need to hop on another call.
464
00:21:50,813 --> 00:21:54,188
Huh. I wonder if this has anything
to do with you being in that book.
465
00:21:54,354 --> 00:21:57,417
D.D.L. is notoriously
anti-anything scene-y.
466
00:21:57,432 --> 00:21:58,873
What are you talking about?
467
00:21:58,874 --> 00:22:03,666
Oh, well, there's this novel going around
town with a character based on Serena.
468
00:22:03,667 --> 00:22:07,910
"Sabrina" is a totally shallow,
self-obsessed party girl.
469
00:22:08,332 --> 00:22:10,325
Yes, uh, I finished it.
470
00:22:10,326 --> 00:22:11,900
Aren't you being a little reductive?
471
00:22:11,901 --> 00:22:13,554
And ridiculous.
472
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,231
Daniel lives on a farm in Ireland.
473
00:22:15,232 --> 00:22:18,876
His cow's probably giving birth right
now, and everything isn't about Serena.
474
00:22:19,238 --> 00:22:20,338
Sorry about that.
475
00:22:20,463 --> 00:22:23,148
I'm afraid right now
is not a a good time for Daniel
476
00:22:23,273 --> 00:22:25,446
to be looking
at this particular project.
477
00:22:25,571 --> 00:22:27,846
Wait. I'm sorry.
You're passing?
478
00:22:28,012 --> 00:22:32,157
Sorry, Sabrina. Movie business.
It's all about timing. Cheers.
479
00:22:32,158 --> 00:22:34,013
Did he just say "Sabrina"?
480
00:22:42,148 --> 00:22:44,503
Did you spend extra time doing
your hair tonight, Nathaniel?
481
00:22:44,504 --> 00:22:47,523
Ha ha. I don't mind
that Dan made me gay.
482
00:22:47,790 --> 00:22:50,692
I know. I was actually a little
offended he didn't make me gay.
483
00:22:50,693 --> 00:22:53,837
Personally, I thought you'd be more
annoyed at being conflated with Eric.
484
00:22:56,187 --> 00:22:57,708
You didn't read it, did you?
485
00:22:57,762 --> 00:22:59,481
What do you mean by conflated?
486
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,409
Your character is two years younger
than everyone else and is best friends
487
00:23:05,410 --> 00:23:07,848
with the narrator's
little sister Frankie.
488
00:23:08,345 --> 00:23:10,578
In fact,
the only thing I think you share
489
00:23:10,579 --> 00:23:14,267
is Lacrosse and a good
political pedigree.
490
00:23:14,268 --> 00:23:16,520
What's my character's name again?
491
00:23:16,643 --> 00:23:17,775
Derek.
492
00:23:23,447 --> 00:23:24,290
What took you so long?
493
00:23:24,291 --> 00:23:25,958
I got your text, and I came right over.
What's wrong?
494
00:23:25,959 --> 00:23:27,156
I can't believe you told everyone.
495
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,390
It was supposed to be our secret.
496
00:23:28,391 --> 00:23:30,423
You're the one who wanted
it kept secret, not me.
497
00:23:30,424 --> 00:23:35,331
I have a life... future... plans, and...
you can't just screw this up.
498
00:23:36,444 --> 00:23:38,847
- I didn't mean to.
- You have to understand.
499
00:23:39,195 --> 00:23:42,629
There is nothing between us...
Not then, not now.
500
00:23:43,475 --> 00:23:44,363
Nothing.
501
00:23:44,364 --> 00:23:45,591
I don't believe you.
502
00:23:50,909 --> 00:23:52,264
Do you believe me now?
503
00:23:57,801 --> 00:23:59,806
Can we dare believe?
504
00:23:59,807 --> 00:24:03,173
Queen B.
And lonely boy doing the deed?
505
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,011
Even I have to admit
it's a novel idea.
506
00:24:19,540 --> 00:24:21,591
Dan! What are you doing here?
507
00:24:21,821 --> 00:24:23,796
I'm supposed to be here.
It's my party, isn't it?
508
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:27,140
Yes, but when it's your party,
you arrive late, and the later the better,
509
00:24:27,141 --> 00:24:30,271
especially because we want a
big frenzy around the reveal
510
00:24:30,272 --> 00:24:32,319
that you are "Anonymous."
511
00:24:32,444 --> 00:24:34,511
I need to put you somewhere
no one will see you.
512
00:24:34,748 --> 00:24:36,167
So I'm supposed to just hide in here?
513
00:24:36,168 --> 00:24:37,792
Yeah, you can sign
books while you wait.
514
00:24:37,793 --> 00:24:39,456
And do not come out until I tell you.
515
00:24:39,457 --> 00:24:40,528
Okay.
516
00:24:56,786 --> 00:24:57,690
I'm sorry.
517
00:24:57,691 --> 00:25:00,749
Oh. No, no, it was me.
I wasn't looking.
518
00:25:01,124 --> 00:25:02,722
I'm on my way to an event.
519
00:25:02,847 --> 00:25:04,128
Is it drinks with me?
520
00:25:05,083 --> 00:25:08,503
I wish I could say it was,
but it's a family thing.
521
00:25:08,798 --> 00:25:11,420
Come on. What sounds more fun?
522
00:25:11,652 --> 00:25:12,763
Your family...
523
00:25:13,177 --> 00:25:15,442
Or a dirty martini with a stranger?
524
00:25:15,443 --> 00:25:18,058
Well, a martini or two could be nice.
525
00:25:21,126 --> 00:25:24,775
Flighty? Irresponsible?
I'm gonna kill him.
526
00:25:25,565 --> 00:25:26,564
Whoa! I'm sorry.
527
00:25:26,565 --> 00:25:28,068
Yes, you are.
528
00:25:31,323 --> 00:25:34,071
Oh, I am so sorry Nate couldn't come.
529
00:25:34,072 --> 00:25:36,343
Not as sorry as Dan's going to be.
530
00:25:36,468 --> 00:25:37,578
Wonder where he is.
531
00:25:37,744 --> 00:25:40,428
Hi. I'm Alessandra, Dan's agent.
You must be his dad.
532
00:25:40,429 --> 00:25:43,504
It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Humphrey,
and you, Mrs. Humphrey.
533
00:25:43,505 --> 00:25:44,895
Oh, you can call me Lily.
534
00:25:44,896 --> 00:25:46,920
And this is Sloane Crosley,
the best-selling author
535
00:25:47,086 --> 00:25:48,463
of "I was told there'd be cake."
536
00:25:48,629 --> 00:25:52,803
Which I am still in search of,
so if you'll excuse me.
537
00:25:52,804 --> 00:25:54,772
Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
538
00:25:55,117 --> 00:25:57,890
Where is the man of the hour?
He's early to everything.
539
00:25:57,891 --> 00:26:00,106
I'm hiding him. He'll be out soon.
540
00:26:00,529 --> 00:26:02,698
And you must be Mr. Charlie Trout.
541
00:26:02,699 --> 00:26:04,354
I have been dying to meet you.
542
00:26:05,577 --> 00:26:07,194
Care to join me for a drink?
543
00:26:07,614 --> 00:26:09,846
You know, I just saw Graydon.
Maybe we should go say hello.
544
00:26:09,847 --> 00:26:10,997
Nice meeting you.
545
00:26:11,448 --> 00:26:12,440
Ciao.
546
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:15,713
I was nervous you wouldn't show up,
considering your portrayal in the book.
547
00:26:15,714 --> 00:26:17,175
Why would I be upset?
548
00:26:17,533 --> 00:26:20,871
I don't know. Your character's story
is so tragic, even before he dies.
549
00:26:21,657 --> 00:26:24,355
And the way it happens...
all I could think was
550
00:26:24,356 --> 00:26:27,242
how long you must have been hanging
there before anybody found you.
551
00:26:27,243 --> 00:26:28,327
I have plenty of staff.
552
00:26:28,328 --> 00:26:30,177
They would have found me immediately.
553
00:26:30,178 --> 00:26:32,608
Staff? Not friends or family?
554
00:26:33,259 --> 00:26:34,384
Makes it even worse.
555
00:26:44,845 --> 00:26:45,938
Hello?
556
00:26:46,104 --> 00:26:48,315
Hi. I'm looking for an Ivy Dickens.
557
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:53,528
- Yeah. This is sh...
- She? I figured as much.
558
00:26:54,075 --> 00:26:56,605
Don't bother lying or hanging up.
559
00:26:56,660 --> 00:26:59,243
We met this morning when you were
Charlie Rhodes. Remember me now?
560
00:27:05,048 --> 00:27:06,635
Hey, do you know where Dan is?
561
00:27:06,636 --> 00:27:08,755
Can you believe what
he wrote about me?
562
00:27:08,756 --> 00:27:12,046
Which part?
Sabrina is glamorous, sexy, beautiful.
563
00:27:12,047 --> 00:27:14,217
Selfish, insensitive, shallow.
564
00:27:14,218 --> 00:27:17,041
Let me tell you, from experience,
everyone loves a villain.
565
00:27:17,042 --> 00:27:19,598
Yeah, I told Blair the same thing,
but then I realize if that's true,
566
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:21,447
why are you always alone?
567
00:27:22,639 --> 00:27:24,092
Not one word. Have you seen Dan?
568
00:27:24,093 --> 00:27:25,111
No. Have you?
569
00:27:25,112 --> 00:27:26,573
Did you see what he wrote about me?
570
00:27:26,574 --> 00:27:29,354
No, I didn't have time to read all of it,
just the parts about me.
571
00:27:29,448 --> 00:27:30,487
Me, too.
572
00:27:31,256 --> 00:27:32,440
Check the study.
573
00:27:36,015 --> 00:27:37,282
Nate, hey, are you here?
574
00:27:37,283 --> 00:27:39,036
My agent has me locked in the study.
575
00:27:39,037 --> 00:27:40,500
Please tell me the party's good.
576
00:27:40,501 --> 00:27:42,015
I decided not to come.
577
00:27:42,492 --> 00:27:44,368
What? Why? Is everything okay?
578
00:27:44,369 --> 00:27:46,520
No, dude. It's not.
579
00:27:46,623 --> 00:27:48,834
- What? I thought you...
- Derek? Really?
580
00:27:49,072 --> 00:27:52,709
I mean, I can't believe I'm not even
important enough to merit my own character.
581
00:27:52,967 --> 00:27:54,356
I'm one of your best friends, Dan.
582
00:27:54,357 --> 00:27:55,710
At least I thought I was.
583
00:27:55,711 --> 00:27:58,576
No, every writer condenses people
for better dramatic effect.
584
00:27:58,577 --> 00:28:00,879
Hemingway did it.
Uh, Joseph Mitchell did it.
585
00:28:01,748 --> 00:28:03,853
You have a lot of explaining to do,
Humphrey!
586
00:28:03,854 --> 00:28:05,624
I am so sorry I wasn't
able to stop by.
587
00:28:05,625 --> 00:28:07,561
Nate, I gotta call you back
'cause Blair and Serena are here.
588
00:28:07,727 --> 00:28:09,211
Oh, right,
because they're more important,
589
00:28:09,212 --> 00:28:10,982
which is why they got
their own characters.
590
00:28:10,983 --> 00:28:12,259
No, wait.
591
00:28:13,264 --> 00:28:16,333
- Nate is...
- Furious? Yeah, because I am.
592
00:28:16,334 --> 00:28:18,742
And I'm more furious,
if that's even possible.
593
00:28:18,743 --> 00:28:20,365
I could lose my job over this.
594
00:28:20,366 --> 00:28:21,996
I could lose my fiance!
595
00:28:22,043 --> 00:28:24,892
Wait. What?
I didn't read your parts.
596
00:28:25,227 --> 00:28:27,060
He wrote that we had sex!
597
00:28:27,061 --> 00:28:28,149
You slept with Dan?
598
00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:30,646
- No, you really think I would do that?
- It's not what you think.
599
00:28:30,647 --> 00:28:32,669
- Is this true?
- Of course it's true.
600
00:28:33,645 --> 00:28:35,589
This is why you had me kill your story
601
00:28:35,901 --> 00:28:38,019
and why you asked me not to read it.
602
00:28:38,966 --> 00:28:41,873
I came here because I thought
my suspicions ridiculous.
603
00:28:42,109 --> 00:28:45,476
Turns out the only
thing ridiculous is me.
604
00:28:46,192 --> 00:28:46,758
I should have known.
605
00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:48,629
Dan, your father and stepmother...
606
00:28:49,207 --> 00:28:51,057
- Oh, great. You're all here.
- Hi!
607
00:28:51,058 --> 00:28:53,690
- Perfect opportunity for...
- A photo!
608
00:28:54,467 --> 00:28:55,358
Everyone in?
609
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:58,097
Looks like the best piece
of fiction is that people...
610
00:28:58,098 --> 00:29:00,329
people are actually
happy for Dan Humphrey.
611
00:29:04,715 --> 00:29:06,740
Is this what you've been
trying to tell me all day?
612
00:29:06,741 --> 00:29:09,074
No, because it never happened.
It never happened.
613
00:29:09,075 --> 00:29:11,109
I don't believe a word you say.
614
00:29:11,368 --> 00:29:13,984
You said yourself that
Dan has no imagination.
615
00:29:14,827 --> 00:29:17,362
Okay, uh, thanks, but,
Louis, it didn't happen.
616
00:29:17,685 --> 00:29:20,205
I would never lie to you.
You know that.
617
00:29:21,351 --> 00:29:24,752
I never know with you...
And that's the problem.
618
00:29:24,877 --> 00:29:27,318
We're gonna go check on the guests.
Come on, Rufus.
619
00:29:28,336 --> 00:29:30,680
I have no reason to
stay here any longer.
620
00:29:32,859 --> 00:29:37,066
You had better hope I can stop your
fantasy life from destroying my real one.
621
00:29:37,067 --> 00:29:39,704
Blair, I never wanted us
to come between you two.
622
00:29:39,705 --> 00:29:41,518
When are you gonna get
it through your head?
623
00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:43,519
There's no "us." There never was!
624
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,981
There's nothing here but friendship,
and even that's gone now.
625
00:29:47,208 --> 00:29:48,662
Please tell me it is
time for my entrance.
626
00:29:48,828 --> 00:29:51,407
Not yet, but you'll be
fine here with your friend.
627
00:29:53,617 --> 00:29:55,510
Susan Baines was arrested today
628
00:29:55,511 --> 00:29:58,520
at her east Hampton estate
for an alleged Ponzi scheme
629
00:29:58,521 --> 00:30:00,866
reminiscent of the Madoff case.
630
00:30:00,867 --> 00:30:04,356
Apparently, Ms. Baines' hedge fund,
which has been funneling...
631
00:30:04,357 --> 00:30:05,583
How did you know?
632
00:30:06,171 --> 00:30:09,401
Just a hunch.
But then I did my research.
633
00:30:10,415 --> 00:30:12,269
Quite a web you've spun.
634
00:30:12,925 --> 00:30:15,272
But what I can't quite
figure out is why.
635
00:30:15,597 --> 00:30:18,355
Maybe the people you've been
lying to could explain it to me.
636
00:30:19,511 --> 00:30:22,785
I didn't ask for any of it.
637
00:30:23,662 --> 00:30:26,929
Serena's aunt, Carol Rhodes, paid me
638
00:30:27,303 --> 00:30:29,588
to impersonate her daughter Charlie
639
00:30:30,728 --> 00:30:32,622
so she could access her trust fund.
640
00:30:33,063 --> 00:30:34,527
It worked.
641
00:30:35,249 --> 00:30:37,832
And I took the money and
went back to my real life,
642
00:30:37,935 --> 00:30:41,584
only Serena found me and
dragged me back here.
643
00:30:43,159 --> 00:30:44,541
Now I'm trapped.
644
00:30:45,259 --> 00:30:48,074
Ohh. So now you can't get out.
645
00:30:49,031 --> 00:30:50,348
Or maybe you don't want to.
646
00:30:52,381 --> 00:30:55,687
That dress suits you,
as does living in a penthouse, I'm sure.
647
00:30:56,635 --> 00:30:59,232
I'm not... in it for the money.
648
00:31:00,809 --> 00:31:04,728
Maybe I was before,
but now for the first time in my life,
649
00:31:04,729 --> 00:31:06,698
I feel like I actually
belong somewhere.
650
00:31:07,228 --> 00:31:08,241
But you don't.
651
00:31:09,338 --> 00:31:11,453
And when these people realize
you're not one of them,
652
00:31:11,619 --> 00:31:13,538
they're gonna destroy you.
653
00:31:15,296 --> 00:31:16,688
Please don't tell them.
654
00:31:17,388 --> 00:31:18,851
I won't.
655
00:31:21,507 --> 00:31:25,015
I'm gonna protect you, if you let me.
656
00:31:25,709 --> 00:31:26,971
What do you want?
657
00:31:33,686 --> 00:31:35,081
You're making a big mistake.
658
00:31:37,410 --> 00:31:39,940
In thinking that Blair
could be trusted, yes.
659
00:31:41,227 --> 00:31:42,817
She will always have her secrets.
660
00:31:42,983 --> 00:31:44,889
She can't exist without them.
661
00:31:45,993 --> 00:31:47,364
You were right, after all.
662
00:31:48,077 --> 00:31:49,232
You should never listen to me.
663
00:31:49,233 --> 00:31:52,306
If you read Dan's book,
you know how I turn out.
664
00:31:56,154 --> 00:31:58,911
You have a chance
665
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:01,962
at having love in your life,
666
00:32:03,368 --> 00:32:04,824
not ending up alone...
667
00:32:06,582 --> 00:32:07,926
hanging in a closet.
668
00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:15,606
Don't give up on your own fact
669
00:32:15,877 --> 00:32:17,477
over someone else's fiction.
670
00:32:24,197 --> 00:32:27,028
- I'm sorry you're hurt.
- No, not hurt. Mystified.
671
00:32:27,915 --> 00:32:29,583
In high school, you were the only one
672
00:32:29,584 --> 00:32:32,708
who saw me for who I really
was or who I wanted to be.
673
00:32:33,125 --> 00:32:35,942
You helped me be somebody
that I was more proud of.
674
00:32:37,789 --> 00:32:38,748
I didn't know.
675
00:32:39,154 --> 00:32:41,615
Do you even remember the girl
that you fell in love with?
676
00:32:41,616 --> 00:32:45,574
Or just that she got so drunk on
Thanksgiving that she got grazed by a taxi
677
00:32:45,665 --> 00:32:47,876
or that she got married in Barcelona
678
00:32:47,877 --> 00:32:50,427
or slept with not one but
two of her professors?
679
00:32:50,593 --> 00:32:53,248
I hate to break it to you,
but those things... happened.
680
00:32:53,249 --> 00:32:55,432
It's not the things.
It's how you wrote about them.
681
00:32:55,598 --> 00:32:58,597
That's the point.
Dylan Hunter is a judgmental dick
682
00:32:58,598 --> 00:32:59,790
who can't even look at
himself in the mirror.
683
00:32:59,791 --> 00:33:02,355
My character comes off
the worst of all of them.
684
00:33:02,862 --> 00:33:05,296
He puts off his writing.
He misses job interviews.
685
00:33:05,297 --> 00:33:07,198
He ignores his grades. Why?
686
00:33:08,557 --> 00:33:10,227
Because he cares more
for a pretty blonde
687
00:33:10,228 --> 00:33:11,853
than he does his own future,
and in the end,
688
00:33:11,854 --> 00:33:13,600
none of his friends are
happy for his success.
689
00:33:13,601 --> 00:33:16,606
They all turn their backs on him,
and he deserves it!
690
00:33:16,976 --> 00:33:18,767
Yeah. He does.
691
00:33:22,257 --> 00:33:24,125
I need to find Blair.
I gotta make sure she's okay.
692
00:33:24,126 --> 00:33:25,523
No, we're not done here.
693
00:33:26,141 --> 00:33:27,380
I just messed up her engagement.
694
00:33:27,381 --> 00:33:28,630
I could ruin her life.
695
00:33:28,631 --> 00:33:29,687
Yeah, and what about mine?
696
00:33:29,688 --> 00:33:32,182
If you can't tell the difference
between what I did to Blair
697
00:33:32,183 --> 00:33:33,379
and what I did to you,
698
00:33:33,858 --> 00:33:36,533
then maybe your portrayal in the book
is more accurate than you thought.
699
00:33:36,534 --> 00:33:40,129
That sounds exactly like something
Dylan Hunter would say.
700
00:33:41,685 --> 00:33:43,516
It's time.
You ready for your big moment?
701
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:47,285
Absolutely.
702
00:33:50,571 --> 00:33:51,873
Everyone? Everyone.
703
00:33:51,874 --> 00:33:54,407
Hi. I know you're not all here
to hear me speak
704
00:33:54,573 --> 00:33:57,773
but to finally find
out who is "Anonymous."
705
00:33:59,496 --> 00:34:02,943
It is with great pleasure that
I introduce you to the amazingly special
706
00:34:02,944 --> 00:34:05,501
and very talented
author of "Inside"...
707
00:34:06,730 --> 00:34:07,979
Dan Humphrey.
708
00:34:22,017 --> 00:34:26,663
Seems Dan Humphrey's on the fast
track from lonely boy to only boy.
709
00:34:41,868 --> 00:34:43,883
Louis didn't return
my calls all night.
710
00:34:45,109 --> 00:34:47,182
I don't know if he'll
ever speak to me again.
711
00:34:47,633 --> 00:34:50,300
Is that what you were
trying to tell me yesterday?
712
00:34:50,887 --> 00:34:52,513
Have you two been having trouble?
713
00:34:52,638 --> 00:34:53,738
No.
714
00:34:54,124 --> 00:34:56,056
Quite the contrary, in fact.
715
00:34:57,613 --> 00:34:59,778
I wish I was telling you
this at a better time, but...
716
00:35:01,250 --> 00:35:02,460
I'm pregnant.
717
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:05,060
What?
718
00:35:05,946 --> 00:35:07,470
Oh, my gosh!
719
00:35:07,471 --> 00:35:09,405
Blair, that's amazing!
720
00:35:12,307 --> 00:35:14,529
Wait. That's...
that's good news, right?
721
00:35:14,876 --> 00:35:18,202
Well, I was happy. So happy.
722
00:35:18,699 --> 00:35:21,578
But now what if I'm in this alone?
723
00:35:21,948 --> 00:35:23,955
No, you're not alone. Never.
724
00:35:24,907 --> 00:35:26,733
I know I may have been
busy since I got back,
725
00:35:26,734 --> 00:35:28,543
but that doesn't mean
I'm not here for you.
726
00:35:30,462 --> 00:35:31,733
I can always count on you.
727
00:35:32,678 --> 00:35:34,699
I just wish Louis felt
the same about me.
728
00:35:35,139 --> 00:35:36,009
I do.
729
00:35:39,775 --> 00:35:41,272
I'm gonna get ready for work.
730
00:35:41,317 --> 00:35:42,365
I love you.
731
00:35:43,144 --> 00:35:44,478
Let me know if you need me.
732
00:35:50,386 --> 00:35:51,941
- Louis...
- Don't.
733
00:35:52,236 --> 00:35:54,221
I'm ashamed enough at my behavior.
734
00:35:55,410 --> 00:35:57,412
I know you have a complicated past,
735
00:35:57,983 --> 00:35:59,569
but you've been honest about it.
736
00:36:03,428 --> 00:36:04,732
It's hard for me.
737
00:36:05,911 --> 00:36:09,603
I want to believe, but every time I turn,
there seems to be another secret.
738
00:36:09,627 --> 00:36:12,100
That night at constance,
you gave me a choice.
739
00:36:13,145 --> 00:36:14,923
And now I'm giving you one.
740
00:36:16,068 --> 00:36:19,601
Either you find a way to trust me,
or you let me go.
741
00:36:21,395 --> 00:36:22,721
I could never let you go.
742
00:36:43,417 --> 00:36:44,690
Thanks for seeing me.
743
00:36:44,691 --> 00:36:47,431
Of course, Charles.
I'm so happy you called.
744
00:36:47,432 --> 00:36:48,665
It's been a long time.
745
00:36:50,142 --> 00:36:52,079
Rufus isn't here if you need to talk.
746
00:36:55,879 --> 00:36:57,882
Seems like I'm always off on my own.
747
00:36:59,439 --> 00:37:00,969
I thought you liked it that way.
748
00:37:03,438 --> 00:37:06,763
I don't want to be the
unrepentant bad boy
749
00:37:07,369 --> 00:37:09,144
who no one cares lives or dies.
750
00:37:09,896 --> 00:37:11,437
It's just a book, Charles.
751
00:37:11,695 --> 00:37:12,856
What if it isn't?
752
00:37:13,863 --> 00:37:16,601
There are people that
care so deeply for you
753
00:37:16,726 --> 00:37:18,528
if you would just let them.
754
00:37:19,568 --> 00:37:20,697
Blair is lost to me.
755
00:37:22,648 --> 00:37:23,745
I know.
756
00:37:26,848 --> 00:37:27,957
I'm sorry.
757
00:37:39,882 --> 00:37:41,134
Hey, how was the party?
758
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:42,635
Oh, I didn't go.
759
00:37:42,923 --> 00:37:44,971
Dan Humphrey wasn't exactly
the friend I thought he was.
760
00:37:45,387 --> 00:37:47,019
Mm. I'm sorry to hear it.
761
00:37:47,020 --> 00:37:48,949
I know how important
loyalty is to you.
762
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:51,867
But I think I have something
that might cheer you up.
763
00:37:52,380 --> 00:37:54,613
I wanna introduce you
to your new colleague.
764
00:37:55,352 --> 00:37:56,501
Hi.
765
00:37:56,502 --> 00:37:59,277
Hey.
What are you doing here?
766
00:37:59,632 --> 00:38:02,202
I... needed a new job,
767
00:38:02,644 --> 00:38:05,602
so thank you for
introducing me to Diana.
768
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,579
Why do I get the feeling that
there's more to this story?
769
00:38:09,745 --> 00:38:11,424
Oh, a lady never tells.
770
00:38:11,441 --> 00:38:13,259
It's always better
to stay mysterious.
771
00:38:13,384 --> 00:38:14,500
Ah.
772
00:38:14,666 --> 00:38:15,954
Why don't you show her around?
773
00:38:16,420 --> 00:38:19,047
Sure. Yeah. Welcome aboard.
774
00:38:19,513 --> 00:38:20,655
Thank you.
775
00:38:20,919 --> 00:38:21,989
Come on in.
776
00:38:25,750 --> 00:38:27,007
Hey, dad.
777
00:38:28,304 --> 00:38:31,309
Your reviews? I guess you have
a lot of reading to do today.
778
00:38:31,475 --> 00:38:32,952
I don't want
you to get too excited,
779
00:38:32,953 --> 00:38:38,608
but "The New York Post" called your son
the "potential voice of his generation."
780
00:38:39,129 --> 00:38:42,173
And "The New York Times"
called the book... where is it...
781
00:38:42,259 --> 00:38:45,357
Uh, yeah, "a searing
portrayal of Manhattan's elite
782
00:38:45,358 --> 00:38:47,671
with just the right
portion of pathos."
783
00:38:47,672 --> 00:38:49,017
I had to double-check it to make sure
784
00:38:49,018 --> 00:38:52,580
they didn't say "pathetic," which is
what all my friends think I am.
785
00:38:55,036 --> 00:38:56,103
Is everything okay?
786
00:38:56,486 --> 00:38:58,297
Well, last night was your big night.
787
00:38:58,298 --> 00:39:01,530
- I didn't want to ruin it for you, but...
- Well, it kinda went there on its own.
788
00:39:01,942 --> 00:39:03,716
What--what's going on?
Did you not like the book?
789
00:39:04,543 --> 00:39:06,293
Of course I did.
You're a beautiful writer.
790
00:39:06,898 --> 00:39:07,929
Just...
791
00:39:08,942 --> 00:39:10,412
Broke... broke my heart.
792
00:39:12,233 --> 00:39:13,900
Wait. Dad...
793
00:39:14,709 --> 00:39:17,990
I gave up my career to raise you, and
I never regretted it, not once...
794
00:39:18,508 --> 00:39:22,362
Until yesterday when I read
what you really think about me.
795
00:39:23,499 --> 00:39:26,271
Has-been turned trophy
husband who married for money.
796
00:39:26,809 --> 00:39:28,445
No, that is not...
That's not what I think of you.
797
00:39:28,446 --> 00:39:31,464
You more than anybody should
understand artistic license.
798
00:39:32,643 --> 00:39:34,747
I never expected to
be your hero, but...
799
00:39:37,098 --> 00:39:39,248
I just didn't think
I'd end up the fool.
800
00:39:44,696 --> 00:39:45,703
In literature,
801
00:39:45,828 --> 00:39:47,688
there are thousands of endings...
802
00:39:47,813 --> 00:39:50,430
Some happy, some sad.
803
00:39:52,421 --> 00:39:54,291
Some end with a twist.
804
00:39:58,174 --> 00:39:59,647
I want this book.
805
00:40:00,779 --> 00:40:02,984
Well... here it is.
806
00:40:03,418 --> 00:40:05,600
I want the movie rights to this book,
807
00:40:05,698 --> 00:40:07,113
and since you're good
friends with the author,
808
00:40:07,114 --> 00:40:09,086
that shouldn't be a problem, right?
809
00:40:09,211 --> 00:40:11,701
We're not exactly
on good terms right now.
810
00:40:11,867 --> 00:40:15,580
Look, your reputation
reflects directly on me,
811
00:40:16,092 --> 00:40:18,374
and frankly,
this book leaves yours in tatters.
812
00:40:18,725 --> 00:40:20,942
So prove to me I made the
right choice hiring you.
813
00:40:20,943 --> 00:40:23,070
I want this book,
and you're going to get it for me.
814
00:40:23,405 --> 00:40:26,549
So whatever you did to Dan Humphrey,
undo it, okay?
815
00:40:26,715 --> 00:40:27,925
You have a week.
816
00:40:36,147 --> 00:40:38,989
Yeah, but I don't know why
it says contact here...
817
00:40:45,700 --> 00:40:48,992
Some stories open the door
for something more.
818
00:40:50,266 --> 00:40:54,782
And then there are fairy tale endings
where the girl gets her prince.
819
00:40:56,542 --> 00:40:59,202
And endings that turn
you introspective
820
00:40:59,203 --> 00:41:02,751
about your own life
and your place in the world.
821
00:41:05,795 --> 00:41:06,842
Hello?
822
00:41:06,898 --> 00:41:08,966
How's my star?
Have you been reading the reviews?
823
00:41:09,949 --> 00:41:11,145
Yeah, a few.
824
00:41:11,161 --> 00:41:12,347
Well, I have great news.
825
00:41:12,348 --> 00:41:15,614
The book is now number 4 on
Amazon, and your reading today
826
00:41:15,615 --> 00:41:18,434
at the Union Square Barnes and Noble
is filling up fast.
827
00:41:19,179 --> 00:41:20,151
Great. That's great.
828
00:41:20,152 --> 00:41:23,722
And then there's the ending
that you saw coming a mile away
829
00:41:23,847 --> 00:41:26,818
and yet somehow still
takes you by surprise.
830
00:41:27,130 --> 00:41:28,997
So I'll see you there at 6:00.
And I know. I don't have
831
00:41:28,998 --> 00:41:30,822
to tell you to be on time
'cause you'll be early.
832
00:41:31,366 --> 00:41:34,679
Oh, how many tickets do you want me to
put on hold for your friends and family?
833
00:41:36,136 --> 00:41:37,827
None. It will just be me.
834
00:41:38,632 --> 00:41:41,335
But don't worry,
my Upper East Side friends.
835
00:41:41,596 --> 00:41:43,321
This story isn't ending.
836
00:41:43,381 --> 00:41:46,475
We're just at the start
of a brand-new chapter.
837
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,019
X.O.X.O.
838
00:41:48,144 --> 00:41:49,578
Gossip Girl.
