Gossip Girl here...
Your one and only source
2
00:00:02,419 --> 00:00:04,854
into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.
3
00:00:04,927 --> 00:00:06,842
Ivy, stop talking to your boyfriend
and start working.
4
00:00:06,967 --> 00:00:09,250
Charlie! Oh, my gosh!
5
00:00:09,375 --> 00:00:10,970
What are you doing here?
6
00:00:11,136 --> 00:00:12,903
"The Beautiful and The Damned"
wraps in a week,
7
00:00:12,954 --> 00:00:14,798
but how would you like
to keep working for me?
8
00:00:14,923 --> 00:00:15,850
I would love to.
9
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:17,043
What are you looking for over there?
10
00:00:17,044 --> 00:00:18,102
My phone.
11
00:00:18,543 --> 00:00:21,313
I think I left it at the fashion show
when the assistant checked it in.
12
00:00:21,479 --> 00:00:23,547
I'm not interested in interviews
with New York's elite.
13
00:00:23,582 --> 00:00:25,749
I want their secrets and scandals.
14
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,886
You had everyone's phones taken.
15
00:00:26,887 --> 00:00:28,586
Why didn't you just, you know,
look at some of them?
16
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:30,176
Do you know someone called Ivy?
17
00:00:30,405 --> 00:00:34,076
The truth is, I can't wait to be a father,
and now I'm going to be one.
18
00:00:34,371 --> 00:00:36,287
I never intended to publish "Inside."
19
00:00:36,453 --> 00:00:38,529
Somehow it fell into
Simon & Schuster's laps.
20
00:00:38,563 --> 00:00:41,834
It's a satire of my entire
life and everyone I know.
21
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,132
You didn't write this book. I did.
22
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:47,381
Bravo! He did it!
23
00:00:47,859 --> 00:00:50,424
I told you I'd get
him to step forward.
24
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:53,326
Dan Humphrey,
Alessandra Steele, my agent.
25
00:00:55,979 --> 00:00:57,096
And who am I?
26
00:00:57,549 --> 00:00:59,557
That's a secret I'll never tell.
27
00:01:01,002 --> 00:01:02,226
You know you love me.
28
00:01:03,004 --> 00:01:04,193
X.O.X.O.

00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:05,859

31
00:01:12,152 --> 00:01:13,360
It's brilliant.
32
00:01:13,632 --> 00:01:14,885
Really exceptional.
33
00:01:23,414 --> 00:01:24,582
Loved the book.
34
00:01:34,895 --> 00:01:36,944
Do I know you? Any of you?
35
00:01:37,012 --> 00:01:38,274
Do I know anyone here at all?
36
00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:42,865
The ending...
37
00:01:43,461 --> 00:01:44,757
Just slays me.
38
00:01:44,882 --> 00:01:48,672
Slays me how you're all alone
with no friends left...
39
00:01:48,673 --> 00:01:51,295
Surrounded by people who think
they know you but really don't.
40
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:52,459
It's genius.
41
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:54,495
Right, but, uh, it's not me.
It's the character Dylan Hunter.
42
00:01:54,496 --> 00:01:55,897
The book, is, uh,
the book is fiction.
43
00:01:55,898 --> 00:01:58,309
Well, I'm happy to tell you it's
a brilliant piece of fiction
44
00:01:58,343 --> 00:02:00,644
that's number 38 on the
Amazon pre-order list.
45
00:02:00,679 --> 00:02:03,034
25,000 shipped so far.
46
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:07,801
Quick question. How big can my
head get before it explodes?
47
00:02:07,836 --> 00:02:11,185
Half the buys are probably upper east
siders dying to see if they're in it.
48
00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:13,674
Yeah.
49
00:02:13,708 --> 00:02:15,659
Some of my friends
might feel they are.
50
00:02:15,694 --> 00:02:17,027
They're coming tonight, right?
51
00:02:17,062 --> 00:02:18,039
To the book party?
52
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,446
No. I... haven't exactly
mentioned it to them yet.
53
00:02:20,782 --> 00:02:23,185
Um, I'd have to tell them
the book exists first.
54
00:02:23,668 --> 00:02:25,604
They don't know? Not any of them?
55
00:02:26,310 --> 00:02:27,304
No.
56
00:02:28,023 --> 00:02:29,424
And I'm not sure
they're gonna like it
57
00:02:29,741 --> 00:02:30,901
when they find out.
58
00:02:31,393 --> 00:02:33,475
If they're really your friends,
they'll be happy to see your star rise,
59
00:02:33,476 --> 00:02:35,308
and they should be
at the soirée tonight
60
00:02:35,864 --> 00:02:37,181
when everybody learns
that "Anonymous"
61
00:02:37,215 --> 00:02:39,166
is actually Daniel Humphrey.
62
00:02:41,686 --> 00:02:44,204
I'm gonna need six
copies of this book, uh,
63
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:46,106
that should probably
be hand-delivered.
64
00:02:47,492 --> 00:02:49,755
I'll see you later at Giorgio Armani
for your suit fitting?
65
00:02:50,362 --> 00:02:51,409
And don't shave.
66
00:02:51,863 --> 00:02:53,341
Makes you look like a real writer.
67
00:02:59,237 --> 00:03:02,122
I now understand why women
used to go into confinement.
68
00:03:02,157 --> 00:03:05,037
It wasn't because of
modesty but vanity.
69
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,626
Look at my boobs.
70
00:03:06,961 --> 00:03:08,395
Oh, I'm huge.
71
00:03:08,793 --> 00:03:10,774
- Are you even listening?
- Sorry, darling.
72
00:03:10,991 --> 00:03:15,161
I was just reading about how some
pregnant women have mood swings.
73
00:03:15,587 --> 00:03:18,866
Apparently, they didn't know
you before the pregnancy.
74
00:03:20,875 --> 00:03:22,686
Oh, you look gorgeous.
75
00:03:22,811 --> 00:03:25,429
I can't wait to tell the
whole world the good news.
76
00:03:25,554 --> 00:03:26,502
Me, too.
77
00:03:27,549 --> 00:03:29,988
My mother and Beatrice
arrive tonight.
78
00:03:30,435 --> 00:03:33,425
And I asked my mom and Cyrus to join us
for dinner at the Consulate.
79
00:03:33,525 --> 00:03:35,841
And then we'll tell
everyone together.
80
00:03:36,258 --> 00:03:38,876
You don't think your family
is gonna be upset, do you?
81
00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:42,139
I don't want them to think of me
as the star of some trashy MTV show
82
00:03:42,305 --> 00:03:44,281
like "Unmarried and
pregnant Princesses"
83
00:03:44,315 --> 00:03:46,116
or, I don't know, "Royally Screwed."
84
00:03:46,167 --> 00:03:48,568
My mother will be over the moon.
85
00:03:48,586 --> 00:03:51,931
The job of any princess is to
provide an heir to the kingdom.
86
00:03:52,273 --> 00:03:54,708
And that is exactly
what you are doing.
87
00:03:54,742 --> 00:03:56,695
An heir to a kingdom lives within me.
88
00:03:57,839 --> 00:03:59,413
How very Shakespeare.
89
00:03:59,447 --> 00:04:01,392
A comedy, not a tragedy, I hope.
90
00:04:01,695 --> 00:04:05,352
So do I, which is why
I have to tell one person
91
00:04:05,387 --> 00:04:06,990
before we meet up with the families..
92
00:04:07,115 --> 00:04:08,868
And I can do that right now.
93
00:04:15,193 --> 00:04:17,815
Yeah, we received the latest draft.
It's on Jane's desk.
94
00:04:17,866 --> 00:04:19,833
Okay, I'll have her call you.
Thank you.
95
00:04:20,593 --> 00:04:21,751
Morning, everyone.
96
00:04:22,704 --> 00:04:25,090
I'm on a juice fast this week.
Not going to be pretty.
97
00:04:25,607 --> 00:04:27,986
Um, I will put those
in the fridge for you.
98
00:04:28,111 --> 00:04:29,843
I'll also request an
extra cashew drink.
99
00:04:29,878 --> 00:04:31,397
It makes the day bearable.
100
00:04:31,563 --> 00:04:33,524
- Thank you. List.
- Yes.
101
00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:37,334
The coverage you wanted on the Krakauer
galley is on your desk, as well as
102
00:04:37,385 --> 00:04:39,837
the new spec script that
Sony won in the bidding war.
103
00:04:39,871 --> 00:04:40,677
What is it again?
104
00:04:40,802 --> 00:04:42,533
"American Psycho" in prep school.
105
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:43,914
Make it go away.
106
00:04:44,359 --> 00:04:47,136
Also, um,
I know that it's a long shot,
107
00:04:47,137 --> 00:04:49,415
but I sent Daniel Day-Lewis
"The Blue Rose,"
108
00:04:49,581 --> 00:04:52,459
along with a note and a rosebush
that only grows in Ireland.
109
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:54,712
I don't know.
I thought it might be a special touch.
110
00:04:55,153 --> 00:04:56,737
Daniel never agrees to do anything.
111
00:04:56,771 --> 00:04:58,355
The man took three years
to make a pair of shoes.
112
00:04:58,389 --> 00:05:00,634
But I like that you're
putting it out there. Sam?
113
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,691
Yes?
114
00:05:01,692 --> 00:05:03,929
Could you get me and
Serena two green teas?
115
00:05:04,362 --> 00:05:05,998
Yeah, sure. Happy to.
116
00:05:07,615 --> 00:05:09,483
I knew that my instincts
were right hiring you.
117
00:05:09,501 --> 00:05:10,818
You're a smart cookie.
118
00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:16,442
You can look at your phone.
I don't run a gulag.
119
00:05:17,992 --> 00:05:19,002
Thank you.
120
00:05:22,447 --> 00:05:24,111
That's Piper Van Allen.
121
00:05:24,532 --> 00:05:25,943
And that's Sullivan Baker.
122
00:05:26,242 --> 00:05:28,727
And I care about
their PG-13 pictures because...
123
00:05:28,852 --> 00:05:32,163
'Cause Piper is married
to Jason Van Allen.
124
00:05:32,924 --> 00:05:34,525
Oh, well,
I am slightly more interested.
125
00:05:34,559 --> 00:05:37,694
Yeah, and Sullivan's with
that celebrity florist guy.
126
00:05:37,729 --> 00:05:40,197
I think they got married
in Amagansett this summer.
127
00:05:40,231 --> 00:05:42,416
Oh. That's a twist
I wasn't expecting.
128
00:05:42,450 --> 00:05:43,390
Yeah.
129
00:05:44,302 --> 00:05:46,820
Well, our phone swipe at
the Jenny Packham Show
130
00:05:46,854 --> 00:05:48,572
gave us some pretty good stories.
131
00:05:48,623 --> 00:05:50,480
Yeah, but pretty good isn't perfect.
132
00:05:51,125 --> 00:05:54,127
If only we had Blair Waldorf's phone.
133
00:05:54,162 --> 00:05:56,898
I told you, she's my friend.
My friends are off-limits.
134
00:05:57,365 --> 00:05:58,832
Oh. Morals.
135
00:05:58,866 --> 00:06:00,167
How quaint.
136
00:06:06,257 --> 00:06:08,725
I mean, why do you even hold on to that
phone if you're not gonna answer it?
137
00:06:08,952 --> 00:06:10,838
Because I don't have to
explain how I got it.
138
00:06:11,196 --> 00:06:13,543
But I am too intrigued
by our mysterious "Ivy"
139
00:06:13,544 --> 00:06:14,531
to just toss it away.
140
00:06:14,566 --> 00:06:16,668
Well, we could always lie,
say we found it on the street.
141
00:06:17,101 --> 00:06:19,302
How are we gonna find her?
142
00:06:20,004 --> 00:06:22,925
Look. There are no names in the phone,
only numbers.
143
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:24,885
And there was no tag
for her at the party.
144
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:27,304
Well, maybe she was just a crasher.
You know, a nobody.
145
00:06:27,616 --> 00:06:30,390
Mm. Nobodies don't hide their friends.
They advertise them.
146
00:06:30,874 --> 00:06:32,518
I have a feeling about this girl.
147
00:06:32,684 --> 00:06:34,966
- Wait, hold on. I know that number.
- Yeah?
148
00:06:40,225 --> 00:06:43,111
All right, well, I'll be back in a bit,
hopefully with a new lead.
149
00:06:56,227 --> 00:06:58,210
Your call has been
forwarded to an automated...
150
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,260
Still haven't found your phone?
151
00:07:00,295 --> 00:07:03,180
No, and I've been calling it nonstop.
152
00:07:03,248 --> 00:07:04,431
Well, maybe it's time for a new one.
153
00:07:04,465 --> 00:07:06,593
New city, new cell phone. Hmm?
154
00:07:06,955 --> 00:07:10,287
Yeah, but my whole
world's in that phone.
155
00:07:10,321 --> 00:07:13,273
Final mix of Panic's debut album.
156
00:07:13,308 --> 00:07:15,811
This is so exciting.
157
00:07:15,977 --> 00:07:17,479
Yeah, it's been a long time coming.
158
00:07:17,645 --> 00:07:20,914
Do you ever regret not getting
back into music sooner, Rufus?
159
00:07:20,948 --> 00:07:23,383
Nah. No, I wouldn't give up
raising my kids for anything.
160
00:07:23,418 --> 00:07:25,886
I mean, I love music,
but Dan and Jenny, they're my life.
161
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,568
Okay, everybody ready?
162
00:07:29,475 --> 00:07:31,326
Maybe that's Dan.
I was hoping he would join.
163
00:07:32,715 --> 00:07:33,684
Good boy.
164
00:07:34,896 --> 00:07:35,833
Hello.
165
00:07:36,097 --> 00:07:37,814
Do you know what
this summoning is about?
166
00:07:37,849 --> 00:07:40,350
I do but I can't say.
I'm sworn to secrecy.
167
00:07:40,401 --> 00:07:42,185
Since when do you bite your tongue?
168
00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:43,186
I'm learning.
169
00:07:43,867 --> 00:07:46,440
Well, isn't Humphrey becoming
quite the Drama Queen?
170
00:07:46,474 --> 00:07:49,966
- Isn't that usually your role?
- I prefer Drama Princess now.
171
00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:53,515
How are you, by the way?
172
00:07:54,968 --> 00:07:57,394
I'm okay.
Thanks for asking.
173
00:08:01,584 --> 00:08:03,643
Sorry. Squirrels.
174
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:05,458
Shall we?
175
00:08:07,289 --> 00:08:08,322
What are you guys doing here?
176
00:08:08,615 --> 00:08:10,741
We must have all gotten
the same text from Dan.
177
00:08:10,907 --> 00:08:13,388
The last time he was this secretive,
he showed up with a baby.
178
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:16,173
Don't worry. You're not about
to become a grandfather,
179
00:08:16,174 --> 00:08:18,832
though Dan is about to
give birth in another way.
180
00:08:21,376 --> 00:08:25,313
Okay, I'm pretty sure this is
how every murder mystery begins.
181
00:08:25,671 --> 00:08:28,342
- Serena, how was your job?
- Really great, actually.
182
00:08:28,343 --> 00:08:30,469
So great she has no time for me.
183
00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:33,401
Well, I would if you weren't
asleep every time I got home.
184
00:08:33,402 --> 00:08:35,140
Uh, I'm still jet-lagged.
185
00:08:35,306 --> 00:08:36,600
Haven't you been home for weeks?
186
00:08:36,766 --> 00:08:38,769
It certainly feels that
way when I'm around you.
187
00:08:38,935 --> 00:08:39,978
Serena, quick question.
188
00:08:40,204 --> 00:08:43,273
You don't happen to know
a girl named Ivy, do you?
189
00:08:43,439 --> 00:08:44,784
Uh, I don't think so. Why?
190
00:08:44,785 --> 00:08:47,759
Oh. Well, I found her cell,
but I don't know how to get it back to her.
191
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,322
- Your number was in her phone book.
- What's her number? I'll dial it.
192
00:08:52,185 --> 00:08:53,435
Look! Here's Dan.
193
00:08:55,540 --> 00:08:57,592
Hey, everyone.
Thank you so much for coming.
194
00:08:57,717 --> 00:08:58,671
I only have five minutes.
195
00:08:58,672 --> 00:09:01,416
- This better be really important.
- What is this all about?
196
00:09:01,582 --> 00:09:03,335
- Is everything all right?
- This isn't about me, right?
197
00:09:03,558 --> 00:09:06,463
- Yeah, what's going on, Dan?
- This is going to be fun.
198
00:09:09,128 --> 00:09:12,022
I'm sorry to call everyone here
on such short notice, but, uh...
199
00:09:13,155 --> 00:09:14,352
All right, you know how there's been
200
00:09:14,477 --> 00:09:16,925
all this speculation about the
book that's being published
201
00:09:16,926 --> 00:09:18,148
by an anonymous author?
202
00:09:18,149 --> 00:09:20,143
Yeah.
Gossip Girl said it was about us.
203
00:09:20,309 --> 00:09:22,980
Yeah, it was probably written by
some loser who doesn't even know us.
204
00:09:23,146 --> 00:09:24,272
Well, not exactly.
205
00:09:28,166 --> 00:09:30,031
I am that loser.
206
00:09:30,762 --> 00:09:31,738
I wrote it.
207
00:09:32,651 --> 00:09:36,580
And it is based on... you,
sort of all of you.
208
00:09:36,670 --> 00:09:41,004
Looks like it's going to be a hot
time in this old town tonight.
209
00:09:41,129 --> 00:09:45,782
Let's just hope lonely boy and
his book don't go up in flames.
210
00:09:51,267 --> 00:09:52,301
Hey. What are you doing?
211
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:54,181
I thought you were
waiting downstairs.
212
00:09:54,182 --> 00:09:56,847
I'm tired of waiting.
When are you gonna tell them?
213
00:09:58,161 --> 00:10:00,141
Soon. I promise.
214
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:01,810
"Soon" isn't soon enough.
215
00:10:02,558 --> 00:10:04,396
It's time they all knew about us.
216
00:10:09,822 --> 00:10:11,016
What's so funny?
217
00:10:11,648 --> 00:10:12,901
I think you should ask Dan.
218
00:10:12,902 --> 00:10:15,866
Well, I might've made
your character a little...
219
00:10:16,032 --> 00:10:16,658
Gay.
220
00:10:17,658 --> 00:10:20,329
I hope that's okay.
Stop enjoying this so much.
221
00:10:20,495 --> 00:10:22,833
You wanted me to feel something.
That's a feeling.
222
00:10:23,396 --> 00:10:25,834
- Do I have game?
- Oh, definitely.
223
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,462
I'm cool with that.
224
00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:30,380
I know it's gonna be a little weird
225
00:10:30,546 --> 00:10:34,217
with everyone reading characters
inspired by themselves,
226
00:10:34,383 --> 00:10:36,191
but I wanna make it clear...
227
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,860
This book is a work of fiction.
228
00:10:38,981 --> 00:10:42,160
And after you read it, I hope that
you'll feel good enough about it and me
229
00:10:42,161 --> 00:10:44,483
that, uh, you will come to
this book party tonight.
230
00:10:44,484 --> 00:10:47,355
The publisher is announcing
that I'm the author. So...
231
00:10:47,971 --> 00:10:49,399
Yeah. Of course we'll be there.
232
00:10:49,565 --> 00:10:51,736
Well, read it first and
then decide because I...
233
00:10:51,734 --> 00:10:53,403
You know, I didn't have a
lot of time to make changes,
234
00:10:53,404 --> 00:10:57,807
and there are some instances where it's
not exactly how I would've wanted it.
235
00:10:58,557 --> 00:11:01,043
Well, an artist never
feels his work is perfect.
236
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:02,187
But it's good to
always strive for more.
237
00:11:02,188 --> 00:11:03,538
I am so proud of you, son.
238
00:11:03,704 --> 00:11:07,911
I am gonna cancel my whole day with
panic just so I can savor your book.
239
00:11:09,521 --> 00:11:12,431
So... now that this
unnecessary meeting
240
00:11:12,432 --> 00:11:15,506
about America's future
doorstop is adjourned,
241
00:11:15,507 --> 00:11:17,572
do you wanna go grab a cup of decaf?
242
00:11:17,573 --> 00:11:19,958
Oh, I would love to, B,
but I'm already late for work.
243
00:11:19,959 --> 00:11:20,840
I gotta get back.
244
00:11:20,841 --> 00:11:22,140
Well, maybe after work then?
245
00:11:22,306 --> 00:11:24,118
If this is about the book,
don't worry.
246
00:11:24,119 --> 00:11:25,535
Everyone loves a villain.
247
00:11:25,536 --> 00:11:27,690
I wouldn't say there's a villain,
per se.
248
00:11:27,815 --> 00:11:29,557
Well, I can tell you who isn't.
249
00:11:29,558 --> 00:11:32,943
Come on. Every girl needs to be
knocked off her pedestal a little.
250
00:11:33,423 --> 00:11:35,259
Can't handle that kind of pressure.
251
00:11:36,143 --> 00:11:37,606
I'll see you later.
252
00:11:38,805 --> 00:11:42,065
Um, you know that story
I wrote that Louis killed?
253
00:11:42,166 --> 00:11:43,355
It's in the book?
254
00:11:46,372 --> 00:12:11,327
Yeah, I figured.
But if it's all the same to you,
255
00:11:46,373 --> 00:11:50,023
I think I'd like to stay in the dark about
just how nastily you've portrayed me.
256
00:11:50,024 --> 00:11:51,029
Yeah, that's a good idea.
257
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:53,300
I mean, you know,
we're just recently friends again.
258
00:11:53,301 --> 00:11:54,473
Why ruin a good thing?
259
00:11:54,474 --> 00:11:57,114
Yeah, and, uh, I'm sorry in advance,
260
00:11:57,115 --> 00:12:00,753
but I have a better offer
than your party tonight.
261
00:12:00,754 --> 00:12:02,848
Louis and I are telling
our families our news.
262
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:04,099
Good luck.
263
00:12:04,322 --> 00:12:05,374
You, too.
264
00:12:05,660 --> 00:12:11,773
Your novel seems to be, uh, very
well-punctuated, and I liked the font.
265
00:12:15,831 --> 00:12:18,321
Yeah. I'll, uh,
I'll be right over. Bye.
266
00:12:21,215 --> 00:12:23,451
A book written about you guys.
It sounds exciting.
267
00:12:23,617 --> 00:12:27,053
Well... I hope he wasn't writing
it when I went nutso last year.
268
00:12:27,054 --> 00:12:30,302
Trust me, there was enough insanity
around before you even got here.
269
00:12:32,128 --> 00:12:33,179
So...
270
00:12:33,856 --> 00:12:36,882
You and Serena were talking
about a girl named Ivy?
271
00:12:37,048 --> 00:12:40,771
I think I met someone at
the Jenny Packham Show with that name.
272
00:12:42,228 --> 00:12:43,338
Can I help?
273
00:12:44,354 --> 00:12:45,196
Actually, yeah.
274
00:12:45,197 --> 00:12:47,608
I was just hoping to find
her and give her phone back.
275
00:12:47,609 --> 00:12:50,805
I think she was with one
of Lily's society friends.
276
00:12:50,806 --> 00:12:56,092
Maybe we could look through her
phone contacts, jog my memory?
277
00:12:56,093 --> 00:12:57,985
I left it at the office,
but yeah, I could do that.
278
00:12:57,986 --> 00:13:00,395
Do you happen to remember
what she looks like?
279
00:13:00,441 --> 00:13:03,604
Hmm. Blonde...
Boobs...
280
00:13:04,090 --> 00:13:05,241
Botox?
281
00:13:06,077 --> 00:13:09,245
That pretty much describes
everyone at the event.
282
00:13:09,542 --> 00:13:11,791
If I saw her,
I'd probably recognize her.
283
00:13:15,714 --> 00:13:16,602
What'd I miss?
284
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:22,722
Uh, Nigel Kirstein called for you, and
we got an advance copy of this new book
285
00:13:22,723 --> 00:13:24,611
by some anonymous New York insider,
286
00:13:24,612 --> 00:13:26,806
and everyone in town is
trying to figure out who.
287
00:13:27,064 --> 00:13:29,218
Well, I know who. I used to date him.
288
00:13:31,397 --> 00:13:32,563
Shut up.
289
00:13:33,781 --> 00:13:35,568
No way. You're "Sabrina"?
290
00:13:36,989 --> 00:13:39,069
The dreamy blonde with the legs.
291
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,019
I guess I am.
292
00:13:41,653 --> 00:13:43,911
Hi, uh, this is
Serena Van Der Woodsen returning.
293
00:13:44,036 --> 00:13:45,318
Yeah, I'll hold.
294
00:13:45,443 --> 00:13:48,163
Did you actually have cases of
champagne delivered to your school?
295
00:13:48,164 --> 00:13:49,638
Is that what he wrote?
296
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,385
No, a friend was
pulling a prank on me.
297
00:13:52,386 --> 00:13:53,554
But it happened?
298
00:13:53,555 --> 00:13:55,688
That was in high school.
Keep reading.
299
00:13:55,689 --> 00:13:58,573
You'll see I mature as he
gets to know me better.
300
00:13:58,899 --> 00:14:01,845
Hey. Oh, no,
it's great to hear from you, too.
301
00:14:03,906 --> 00:14:05,110
What?
302
00:14:06,034 --> 00:14:10,704
Daniel Day-Lewis responded to my
letter about "The Blue Rose"?
303
00:14:10,829 --> 00:14:11,973
Himself?
304
00:14:13,745 --> 00:14:15,683
Yeah. No, of course.
305
00:14:15,931 --> 00:14:17,656
Okay, thank you so much.
306
00:14:19,316 --> 00:14:20,121
What was that?
307
00:14:20,122 --> 00:14:21,125
That was his manager.
308
00:14:21,126 --> 00:14:24,686
They wanna set up a conference
call to talk about the project.
309
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,002
I have to tell Jane right now.
310
00:14:26,003 --> 00:14:29,077
Oh. Dylan Hunter said
everything comes easy for you.
311
00:14:29,714 --> 00:14:31,712
Keep reading. I told you.
312
00:14:32,798 --> 00:14:34,040
I'm almost through.
313
00:14:44,316 --> 00:14:47,415
So... I was thinking
"Pierre" maybe if it's a boy,
314
00:14:47,416 --> 00:14:49,125
since it's a Grimaldi family name.
315
00:14:49,126 --> 00:14:50,580
Why not "Charles"?
316
00:14:51,006 --> 00:14:53,729
It's a name that seems to have
special significance to you.
317
00:14:55,616 --> 00:14:56,617
What?
318
00:14:57,928 --> 00:14:59,665
Louis, is something wrong?
319
00:15:00,801 --> 00:15:02,622
I know you were with Chuck.
320
00:15:03,446 --> 00:15:06,286
Is that who you needed
to tell our news to?
321
00:15:07,121 --> 00:15:08,041
No.
322
00:15:08,821 --> 00:15:11,622
It was Serena,
and I didn't even get a chance to.
323
00:15:11,932 --> 00:15:15,117
Dan gathered us all together because
he wrote some novel about everyone,
324
00:15:15,118 --> 00:15:17,382
and he wanted to make sure
we knew about it first.
325
00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:19,377
But the way he said he
made you in that story...
326
00:15:19,378 --> 00:15:21,768
If there's an entire book,
it could be terrible.
327
00:15:22,308 --> 00:15:23,993
I would expect nothing less.
328
00:15:24,099 --> 00:15:25,271
I was mean to him
on the steps of the met.
329
00:15:25,272 --> 00:15:27,677
I bad-mouthed him repeatedly
to his dream girl.
330
00:15:27,843 --> 00:15:28,866
I tried to undermine him at "W."
331
00:15:28,867 --> 00:15:31,141
I'm sure he's brutal.
332
00:15:31,142 --> 00:15:32,442
Look, he may be calling this a novel,
333
00:15:32,443 --> 00:15:36,331
but I know just how little
imagination he really has.
334
00:15:36,332 --> 00:15:39,976
It's a memoir masquerading as
fiction like a reverse James Frey.
335
00:15:40,326 --> 00:15:41,834
So you're going to read it?
336
00:15:42,768 --> 00:15:43,554
No. No.
337
00:15:43,555 --> 00:15:45,311
And you shouldn't either.
338
00:15:45,312 --> 00:15:49,592
Look... that book has nothing to do
with us and the family we're building.
339
00:15:50,001 --> 00:15:52,376
Whatever's in there,
even if it is the truth,
340
00:15:52,784 --> 00:15:54,087
it's in the past.
341
00:15:55,347 --> 00:15:56,623
Now if you'll excuse me,
342
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:59,760
this baby of yours is making
me so tired, I need to lie down.
343
00:16:06,281 --> 00:16:07,438
Still nothing?
344
00:16:08,029 --> 00:16:10,868
The woman I met's not even
in the background anywhere.
345
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,139
Maybe she's a ghost.
346
00:16:13,526 --> 00:16:17,424
Well, at an Upper East Side event,
we just call them first wives.
347
00:16:18,197 --> 00:16:20,478
Nate, can I see you for a minute?
348
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:22,899
Uh... yeah.
349
00:16:23,065 --> 00:16:24,096
Sure.
350
00:16:24,221 --> 00:16:27,118
I'm sorry.
You know, I can leave.
351
00:16:27,119 --> 00:16:29,944
It's fine. I only need a minute.
I'm Diana, by the way.
352
00:16:30,294 --> 00:16:31,591
So I gathered.
353
00:16:31,716 --> 00:16:32,617
Charlie.
354
00:16:37,571 --> 00:16:39,545
Hey. Who is that and
why is she in my office?
355
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,821
Charlie Rhodes, all right?
Serena's cousin.
356
00:16:41,822 --> 00:16:45,071
And she said she met a woman named
Ivy at the Fashion Show last week.
357
00:16:45,072 --> 00:16:46,432
I don't care who she is.
358
00:16:46,433 --> 00:16:48,744
We can't have strangers in
here going through our photos.
359
00:16:48,745 --> 00:16:49,993
You should know better.
360
00:16:50,579 --> 00:16:52,625
Listen, she's trustworthy, I promise.
361
00:16:52,626 --> 00:16:54,964
I don't care. Get rid of her.
362
00:16:56,083 --> 00:16:57,973
I'm sorry. I...
363
00:16:58,554 --> 00:16:59,789
Wasn't any more help.
364
00:16:59,790 --> 00:17:03,398
If I remember anything more about her,
I'll let you know.
365
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:06,234
It was really nice to meet you.
I've heard so much.
366
00:17:07,316 --> 00:17:08,889
- I'll see you.
- Bye.
367
00:17:16,973 --> 00:17:18,449
Thanks for letting me hang here, man.
368
00:17:18,450 --> 00:17:21,426
I'm rather enjoying
watching you squirm. Scotch?
369
00:17:21,551 --> 00:17:24,148
- It's, like, 2:00 P.M.
- Valium then?
370
00:17:24,805 --> 00:17:28,151
I'm guessing my dad is, uh,
probably halfway through
371
00:17:28,152 --> 00:17:30,193
and Nate's probably still on page 20.
372
00:17:30,729 --> 00:17:31,878
I wonder if they're
gonna be upset with me.
373
00:17:31,879 --> 00:17:33,479
Alessandra said it
isn't that scathing.
374
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,628
An I am...
I'm harshest on myself.
375
00:17:36,629 --> 00:17:39,218
I hope they can see that.
Come here, buddy.
376
00:17:39,986 --> 00:17:41,069
Stop whining.
377
00:17:41,070 --> 00:17:44,838
You're not the first person to use the
world around them for inspiration.
378
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:47,942
Didn't your dad get temporarily
famous singing about Lily?
379
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:50,763
Yeah, but my book isn't a love song,
you know?
380
00:17:52,583 --> 00:17:53,999
Why aren't you mad at me?
381
00:17:54,526 --> 00:17:58,177
Your character dies... accidentally, but
it's not a... it's not a happy ending.
382
00:17:58,178 --> 00:18:01,509
On the contrary...
although clearly fiction.
383
00:18:01,510 --> 00:18:02,901
I've never use a belt.
384
00:18:02,902 --> 00:18:05,561
I'd use a Shahtoosh scarf.
Much softer.
385
00:18:05,562 --> 00:18:09,506
Well, let's hope everyone
else shares your point of view.
386
00:18:09,507 --> 00:18:11,504
All success comes at a price.
387
00:18:12,022 --> 00:18:15,064
The artist must stand alone
to observe the crowd, right?
388
00:18:16,267 --> 00:18:18,223
It's funny.
Vanessa said the same thing.
389
00:18:19,251 --> 00:18:21,027
Hey, dad...
390
00:18:22,082 --> 00:18:23,093
Really?
391
00:18:24,114 --> 00:18:25,814
Great. You're coming. All right.
392
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:28,476
Uh, you know,
I have another call but..
393
00:18:28,477 --> 00:18:31,479
but I'll see you tonight.
Okay? All right.
394
00:18:32,044 --> 00:18:32,768
Hello?
395
00:18:32,769 --> 00:18:35,824
Seems like things are
looking up for lonely boy.
396
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:37,681
Thank you. Thank you so much.
397
00:18:37,682 --> 00:18:38,619
It means a lot that you're coming.
398
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:42,413
Let's hope they've actually read
the book and not judged it by its cover.
399
00:18:54,038 --> 00:18:57,818
How is it I can sleep for two
hours and still be so exhausted?
400
00:18:57,819 --> 00:18:59,853
Louis, are you sitting
here by yourself?
401
00:19:00,427 --> 00:19:04,175
I was just, uh, waiting for you to wake
up so I could tell you the bad news.
402
00:19:04,176 --> 00:19:06,317
My family is not going to make it.
403
00:19:06,442 --> 00:19:09,825
There is a terrible storm over
the Atlantic that has delayed their trip.
404
00:19:10,741 --> 00:19:12,743
I'll let my mom and Cyrus know.
405
00:19:13,081 --> 00:19:15,153
We can tell them tomorrow when
Sophie and Beatrice arrive.
406
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:16,793
If they make it by then.
407
00:19:18,591 --> 00:19:21,910
Well... what do you want
to do tonight instead?
408
00:19:21,917 --> 00:19:24,280
Shall I make a reservation
for Gramercy Tavern?
409
00:19:25,004 --> 00:19:27,210
I have some work to catch up on.
410
00:19:28,315 --> 00:19:30,687
Why don't you go to Dan's book party?
411
00:19:31,522 --> 00:19:33,156
I'm sure he'd love to see you.
412
00:19:35,321 --> 00:19:36,373
Okay.
413
00:19:42,851 --> 00:19:44,968
Louis just lied to
me about his family.
414
00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:47,061
How you know?
415
00:19:47,227 --> 00:19:51,072
My outfit for tonight's announcement
included a pair of crocodile Alaia's,
416
00:19:51,073 --> 00:19:52,734
and you can't wear
such a beautiful shoe
417
00:19:52,735 --> 00:19:55,110
if there's even a hint
of sprinkle outside.
418
00:19:55,539 --> 00:19:57,091
So of course I checked the weather.
419
00:19:57,092 --> 00:19:58,977
Clear from Monaco to Manhattan.
420
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:01,890
Maybe have something to
do with lonely boy book.
421
00:20:02,015 --> 00:20:04,247
Louis was reading while you sleep.
422
00:20:04,372 --> 00:20:06,122
He did not look happy.
423
00:20:07,183 --> 00:20:09,305
I told him not to read it,
424
00:20:09,797 --> 00:20:12,517
it's not like there's anything in
it that he doesn't know about me.
425
00:20:16,968 --> 00:20:18,163
Oh, my God.
426
00:20:19,016 --> 00:20:20,723
I'm gonna kill Dan Humphrey.
427
00:20:22,703 --> 00:20:25,203
Oh, God,
the R.S.V.P.S are rolling in!
428
00:20:25,289 --> 00:20:27,354
The literary world is
saying "yes" to you.
429
00:20:27,355 --> 00:20:28,494
To "Anonymous."
430
00:20:28,495 --> 00:20:31,216
Let's hope they're still interested
when they find out he's me.
431
00:20:31,217 --> 00:20:32,315
They will be.
432
00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:35,037
That and dying to know who
you based the characters on.
433
00:20:35,038 --> 00:20:37,242
We'll want to get a photo of you
with all your friends tonight.
434
00:20:37,243 --> 00:20:40,196
That way, people can play the
guessing game of who's who.
435
00:20:41,396 --> 00:20:42,418
You know, I don't know.
436
00:20:42,419 --> 00:20:43,618
I'm not sure that
they're gonna want to...
437
00:20:43,784 --> 00:20:46,186
To be the lead photo
on "New York Social Diary"?
438
00:20:46,187 --> 00:20:48,564
They wouldn't all be coming if
they didn't want to support you.
439
00:20:48,565 --> 00:20:50,264
Well, not everyone's coming.
Blair's not.
440
00:20:50,265 --> 00:20:51,355
Yes, she is.
441
00:20:51,356 --> 00:20:53,336
She just R.S.V.P.'D. it's right here.
442
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,805
Blair Waldorf, no plus-one.
443
00:20:57,528 --> 00:21:00,226
Really? 'Cause she told
me herself that she...
444
00:21:04,757 --> 00:21:09,070
So, my ex in Scott Rudin's office called.
445
00:21:09,195 --> 00:21:10,783
Apparently, everyone is talking about
446
00:21:10,784 --> 00:21:13,299
the book that your friend
wrote and your character in it.
447
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:14,779
Oh, I told him that you're Sabrina.
448
00:21:14,780 --> 00:21:15,960
I hope that's not a problem.
449
00:21:15,961 --> 00:21:17,712
No, not at all.
450
00:21:17,967 --> 00:21:20,272
It's nice to play such a
big part in Dan's book.
451
00:21:20,273 --> 00:21:21,753
We've always been so close.
452
00:21:21,738 --> 00:21:25,073
Ugh! He must've been a Saint
to put with you that long.
453
00:21:25,185 --> 00:21:28,846
Remind me never to start a juice fast
the day we talk to Daniel Day-Lewis.
454
00:21:28,847 --> 00:21:30,844
Uh, your pineapple
mint's on the desk.
455
00:21:34,868 --> 00:21:37,009
Better. Let's seal this deal.
456
00:21:37,134 --> 00:21:38,372
Jane Bettinger's office.
457
00:21:38,373 --> 00:21:39,308
Serena?
458
00:21:39,309 --> 00:21:40,675
Yeah. Hi, Nigel. It's me.
459
00:21:40,841 --> 00:21:42,943
I'm putting you
on speaker with Jane now.
460
00:21:43,068 --> 00:21:44,453
Daniel's manager.
461
00:21:44,953 --> 00:21:46,639
We're going to need to
postpone the meeting.
462
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:48,226
Sorry for the short notice.
463
00:21:48,227 --> 00:21:50,727
Uh, hold on a minute.
I need to hop on another call.
464
00:21:53,108 --> 00:21:56,482
Huh. I wonder if this has anything
to do with you being in that book.
465
00:21:56,648 --> 00:21:59,712
D.D.L. is notoriously
anti-anything scene-y.
466
00:21:59,727 --> 00:22:01,168
What are you talking about?
467
00:22:01,169 --> 00:22:05,961
Oh, well, there's this novel going around
town with a character based on Serena.
468
00:22:05,962 --> 00:22:10,204
"Sabrina" is a totally shallow,
self-obsessed party girl.
469
00:22:10,627 --> 00:22:12,620
Yes, uh, I finished it.
470
00:22:12,621 --> 00:22:14,195
Aren't you being a little reductive?
471
00:22:14,196 --> 00:22:15,849
And ridiculous.
472
00:22:15,855 --> 00:22:17,526
Daniel lives on a farm in Ireland.
473
00:22:17,527 --> 00:22:21,171
His cow's probably giving birth right
now, and everything isn't about Serena.
474
00:22:21,533 --> 00:22:22,633
Sorry about that.
475
00:22:22,758 --> 00:22:25,443
I'm afraid right now
is not a a good time for Daniel
476
00:22:25,568 --> 00:22:27,741
to be looking
at this particular project.
477
00:22:27,866 --> 00:22:30,141
Wait. I'm sorry.
You're passing?
478
00:22:30,307 --> 00:22:34,452
Sorry, Sabrina. Movie business.
It's all about timing. Cheers.
479
00:22:34,453 --> 00:22:36,308
Did he just say "Sabrina"?
480
00:22:44,443 --> 00:22:46,798
Did you spend extra time doing
your hair tonight, Nathaniel?
481
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:49,818
Ha ha. I don't mind
that Dan made me gay.
482
00:22:50,085 --> 00:22:52,987
I know. I was actually a little
offended he didn't make me gay.
483
00:22:52,988 --> 00:22:56,132
Personally, I thought you'd be more
annoyed at being conflated with Eric.
484
00:22:58,482 --> 00:23:00,003
You didn't read it, did you?
485
00:23:00,057 --> 00:23:01,776
What do you mean by conflated?
486
00:23:04,015 --> 00:23:07,704
Your character is two years younger
than everyone else and is best friends
487
00:23:07,705 --> 00:23:10,143
with the narrator's
little sister Frankie.
488
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,873
In fact,
the only thing I think you share
489
00:23:12,874 --> 00:23:16,562
is Lacrosse and a good
political pedigree.
490
00:23:16,563 --> 00:23:18,815
What's my character's name again?
491
00:23:18,938 --> 00:23:20,070
Derek.
492
00:23:25,742 --> 00:23:26,585
What took you so long?
493
00:23:26,586 --> 00:23:28,253
I got your text, and I came right over.
What's wrong?
494
00:23:28,254 --> 00:23:29,450
I can't believe you told everyone.
495
00:23:29,616 --> 00:23:30,685
It was supposed to be our secret.
496
00:23:30,686 --> 00:23:32,718
You're the one who wanted
it kept secret, not me.
497
00:23:32,719 --> 00:23:37,625
I have a life... future... plans, and...
you can't just screw this up.
498
00:23:38,739 --> 00:23:41,142
- I didn't mean to.
- You have to understand.
499
00:23:41,490 --> 00:23:44,924
There is nothing between us...
Not then, not now.
500
00:23:45,770 --> 00:23:46,658
Nothing.
501
00:23:46,659 --> 00:23:47,885
I don't believe you.
502
00:23:53,204 --> 00:23:54,559
Do you believe me now?
503
00:24:00,096 --> 00:24:02,101
Can we dare believe?
504
00:24:02,102 --> 00:24:05,468
Queen B.
And lonely boy doing the deed?
505
00:24:06,815 --> 00:24:10,306
Even I have to admit
it's a novel idea.
506
00:24:24,963 --> 00:24:27,014
Dan! What are you doing here?
507
00:24:27,244 --> 00:24:29,218
I'm supposed to be here.
It's my party, isn't it?
508
00:24:29,384 --> 00:24:32,563
Yes, but when it's your party,
you arrive late, and the later the better,
509
00:24:32,564 --> 00:24:35,694
especially because we want a
big frenzy around the reveal
510
00:24:35,695 --> 00:24:37,742
that you are "Anonymous."
511
00:24:37,867 --> 00:24:39,934
I need to put you somewhere
no one will see you.
512
00:24:40,171 --> 00:24:41,590
So I'm supposed to just hide in here?
513
00:24:41,591 --> 00:24:43,215
Yeah, you can sign
books while you wait.
514
00:24:43,216 --> 00:24:44,879
And do not come out until I tell you.
515
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,951
Okay.
516
00:25:02,209 --> 00:25:03,113
I'm sorry.
517
00:25:03,114 --> 00:25:06,172
Oh. No, no, it was me.
I wasn't looking.
518
00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:08,145
I'm on my way to an event.
519
00:25:08,270 --> 00:25:09,550
Is it drinks with me?
520
00:25:10,506 --> 00:25:13,926
I wish I could say it was,
but it's a family thing.
521
00:25:14,221 --> 00:25:16,843
Come on. What sounds more fun?
522
00:25:17,075 --> 00:25:18,186
Your family...
523
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,865
Or a dirty martini with a stranger?
524
00:25:20,866 --> 00:25:23,481
Well, a martini or two could be nice.
525
00:25:26,549 --> 00:25:30,198
Flighty? Irresponsible?
I'm gonna kill him.
526
00:25:30,988 --> 00:25:31,987
Whoa! I'm sorry.
527
00:25:31,988 --> 00:25:33,491
Yes, you are.
528
00:25:36,746 --> 00:25:39,494
Oh, I am so sorry Nate couldn't come.
529
00:25:39,495 --> 00:25:41,766
Not as sorry as Dan's going to be.
530
00:25:41,891 --> 00:25:43,001
Wonder where he is.
531
00:25:43,167 --> 00:25:45,851
Hi. I'm Alessandra, Dan's agent.
You must be his dad.
532
00:25:45,852 --> 00:25:48,927
It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Humphrey,
and you, Mrs. Humphrey.
533
00:25:48,928 --> 00:25:50,318
Oh, you can call me Lily.
534
00:25:50,319 --> 00:25:52,343
And this is Sloane Crosley,
the best-selling author
535
00:25:52,509 --> 00:25:53,886
of "I was told there'd be cake."
536
00:25:54,052 --> 00:25:58,226
Which I am still in search of,
so if you'll excuse me.
537
00:25:58,227 --> 00:26:00,195
Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
538
00:26:00,540 --> 00:26:03,313
Where is the man of the hour?
He's early to everything.
539
00:26:03,314 --> 00:26:05,529
I'm hiding him. He'll be out soon.
540
00:26:05,952 --> 00:26:08,121
And you must be Mr. Charlie Trout.
541
00:26:08,122 --> 00:26:09,777
I have been dying to meet you.
542
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,617
Care to join me for a drink?
543
00:26:13,037 --> 00:26:15,269
You know, I just saw Graydon.
Maybe we should go say hello.
544
00:26:15,270 --> 00:26:16,420
Nice meeting you.
545
00:26:16,871 --> 00:26:17,863
Ciao.
546
00:26:18,203 --> 00:26:21,136
I was nervous you wouldn't show up,
considering your portrayal in the book.
547
00:26:21,137 --> 00:26:22,598
Why would I be upset?
548
00:26:22,956 --> 00:26:26,294
I don't know. Your character's story
is so tragic, even before he dies.
549
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,778
And the way it happens...
all I could think was
550
00:26:29,779 --> 00:26:32,665
how long you must have been hanging
there before anybody found you.
551
00:26:32,666 --> 00:26:33,750
I have plenty of staff.
552
00:26:33,751 --> 00:26:35,600
They would have found me immediately.
553
00:26:35,601 --> 00:26:38,031
Staff? Not friends or family?
554
00:26:38,682 --> 00:26:39,807
Makes it even worse.
555
00:26:50,268 --> 00:26:51,361
Hello?
556
00:26:51,527 --> 00:26:53,738
Hi. I'm looking for an Ivy Dickens.
557
00:26:54,222 --> 00:26:58,951
- Yeah. This is sh...
- She? I figured as much.
558
00:26:59,498 --> 00:27:02,028
Don't bother lying or hanging up.
559
00:27:02,083 --> 00:27:04,665
We met this morning when you were
Charlie Rhodes. Remember me now?
560
00:27:10,471 --> 00:27:12,058
Hey, do you know where Dan is?
561
00:27:12,059 --> 00:27:14,178
Can you believe what
he wrote about me?
562
00:27:14,179 --> 00:27:17,469
Which part?
Sabrina is glamorous, sexy, beautiful.
563
00:27:17,470 --> 00:27:19,640
Selfish, insensitive, shallow.
564
00:27:19,641 --> 00:27:22,464
Let me tell you, from experience,
everyone loves a villain.
565
00:27:22,465 --> 00:27:25,021
Yeah, I told Blair the same thing,
but then I realize if that's true,
566
00:27:25,022 --> 00:27:26,870
why are you always alone?
567
00:27:28,062 --> 00:27:29,515
Not one word. Have you seen Dan?
568
00:27:29,516 --> 00:27:30,534
No. Have you?
569
00:27:30,535 --> 00:27:31,996
Did you see what he wrote about me?
570
00:27:31,997 --> 00:27:34,777
No, I didn't have time to read all of it,
just the parts about me.
571
00:27:34,871 --> 00:27:35,910
Me, too.
572
00:27:36,679 --> 00:27:37,863
Check the study.
573
00:27:41,438 --> 00:27:42,705
Nate, hey, are you here?
574
00:27:42,706 --> 00:27:44,459
My agent has me locked in the study.
575
00:27:44,460 --> 00:27:45,923
Please tell me the party's good.
576
00:27:45,924 --> 00:27:47,438
I decided not to come.
577
00:27:47,915 --> 00:27:49,791
What? Why? Is everything okay?
578
00:27:49,792 --> 00:27:51,943
No, dude. It's not.
579
00:27:52,046 --> 00:27:54,298
- What? I thought you...
- Derek? Really?
580
00:27:54,495 --> 00:27:58,132
I mean, I can't believe I'm not even
important enough to merit my own character.
581
00:27:58,390 --> 00:27:59,779
I'm one of your best friends, Dan.
582
00:27:59,780 --> 00:28:01,133
At least I thought I was.
583
00:28:01,134 --> 00:28:03,999
No, every writer condenses people
for better dramatic effect.
584
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,302
Hemingway did it.
Uh, Joseph Mitchell did it.
585
00:28:07,171 --> 00:28:09,276
You have a lot of explaining to do,
Humphrey!
586
00:28:09,277 --> 00:28:11,047
I am so sorry I wasn't
able to stop by.
587
00:28:11,048 --> 00:28:12,983
Nate, I gotta call you back
'cause Blair and Serena are here.
588
00:28:13,149 --> 00:28:14,634
Oh, right,
because they're more important,
589
00:28:14,635 --> 00:28:16,405
which is why they got
their own characters.
590
00:28:16,406 --> 00:28:17,682
No, wait.
591
00:28:18,687 --> 00:28:21,756
- Nate is...
- Furious? Yeah, because I am.
592
00:28:21,757 --> 00:28:24,165
And I'm more furious,
if that's even possible.
593
00:28:24,166 --> 00:28:25,788
I could lose my job over this.
594
00:28:25,789 --> 00:28:27,419
I could lose my fiance!
595
00:28:27,466 --> 00:28:30,315
Wait. What?
I didn't read your parts.
596
00:28:30,650 --> 00:28:32,483
He wrote that we had sex!
597
00:28:32,484 --> 00:28:33,572
You slept with Dan?
598
00:28:33,573 --> 00:28:36,069
- No, you really think I would do that?
- It's not what you think.
599
00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:38,092
- Is this true?
- Of course it's true.
600
00:28:39,068 --> 00:28:41,011
This is why you had me kill your story
601
00:28:41,324 --> 00:28:43,442
and why you asked me not to read it.
602
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:47,296
I came here because I thought
my suspicions ridiculous.
603
00:28:47,532 --> 00:28:50,899
Turns out the only
thing ridiculous is me.
604
00:28:51,615 --> 00:28:52,181
I should have known.
605
00:28:52,182 --> 00:28:54,052
Dan, your father and stepmother...
606
00:28:54,630 --> 00:28:56,480
- Oh, great. You're all here.
- Hi!
607
00:28:56,481 --> 00:28:59,113
- Perfect opportunity for...
- A photo!
608
00:28:59,890 --> 00:29:00,781
Everyone in?
609
00:29:00,782 --> 00:29:03,520
Looks like the best piece
of fiction is that people...
610
00:29:03,521 --> 00:29:05,752
people are actually
happy for Dan Humphrey.
611
00:29:10,221 --> 00:29:12,246
Is this what you've been
trying to tell me all day?
612
00:29:12,247 --> 00:29:14,580
No, because it never happened.
It never happened.
613
00:29:14,581 --> 00:29:16,615
I don't believe a word you say.
614
00:29:16,874 --> 00:29:19,490
You said yourself that
Dan has no imagination.
615
00:29:20,333 --> 00:29:22,868
Okay, uh, thanks, but,
Louis, it didn't happen.
616
00:29:23,191 --> 00:29:25,711
I would never lie to you.
You know that.
617
00:29:26,857 --> 00:29:30,258
I never know with you...
And that's the problem.
618
00:29:30,383 --> 00:29:32,824
We're gonna go check on the guests.
Come on, Rufus.
619
00:29:33,842 --> 00:29:36,186
I have no reason to
stay here any longer.
620
00:29:38,365 --> 00:29:42,572
You had better hope I can stop your
fantasy life from destroying my real one.
621
00:29:42,573 --> 00:29:45,210
Blair, I never wanted us
to come between you two.
622
00:29:45,211 --> 00:29:47,024
When are you gonna get
it through your head?
623
00:29:47,025 --> 00:29:49,025
There's no "us." There never was!
624
00:29:49,026 --> 00:29:51,487
There's nothing here but friendship,
and even that's gone now.
625
00:29:52,714 --> 00:29:54,168
Please tell me it is
time for my entrance.
626
00:29:54,334 --> 00:29:56,913
Not yet, but you'll be
fine here with your friend.
627
00:29:59,123 --> 00:30:01,016
Susan Baines was arrested today
628
00:30:01,017 --> 00:30:04,026
at her east Hampton estate
for an alleged Ponzi scheme
629
00:30:04,027 --> 00:30:06,372
reminiscent of the Madoff case.
630
00:30:06,373 --> 00:30:09,862
Apparently, Ms. Baines' hedge fund,
which has been funneling...
631
00:30:09,863 --> 00:30:11,089
How did you know?
632
00:30:11,677 --> 00:30:14,907
Just a hunch.
But then I did my research.
633
00:30:15,921 --> 00:30:17,775
Quite a web you've spun.
634
00:30:18,431 --> 00:30:20,778
But what I can't quite
figure out is why.
635
00:30:21,103 --> 00:30:23,861
Maybe the people you've been
lying to could explain it to me.
636
00:30:25,017 --> 00:30:28,291
I didn't ask for any of it.
637
00:30:29,168 --> 00:30:32,435
Serena's aunt, Carol Rhodes, paid me
638
00:30:32,809 --> 00:30:35,094
to impersonate her daughter Charlie
639
00:30:36,234 --> 00:30:38,128
so she could access her trust fund.
640
00:30:38,569 --> 00:30:40,033
It worked.
641
00:30:40,755 --> 00:30:43,338
And I took the money and
went back to my real life,
642
00:30:43,441 --> 00:30:47,090
only Serena found me and
dragged me back here.
643
00:30:48,665 --> 00:30:50,047
Now I'm trapped.
644
00:30:50,765 --> 00:30:53,580
Ohh. So now you can't get out.
645
00:30:54,537 --> 00:30:55,854
Or maybe you don't want to.
646
00:30:57,887 --> 00:31:01,193
That dress suits you,
as does living in a penthouse, I'm sure.
647
00:31:02,141 --> 00:31:04,738
I'm not... in it for the money.
648
00:31:06,315 --> 00:31:10,234
Maybe I was before,
but now for the first time in my life,
649
00:31:10,235 --> 00:31:12,246
I feel like I actually
belong somewhere.
650
00:31:12,734 --> 00:31:13,747
But you don't.
651
00:31:14,844 --> 00:31:17,001
And when these people realize
you're not one of them,
652
00:31:17,167 --> 00:31:19,044
they're gonna destroy you.
653
00:31:20,802 --> 00:31:22,194
Please don't tell them.
654
00:31:22,894 --> 00:31:24,357
I won't.
655
00:31:27,016 --> 00:31:30,521
I'm gonna protect you, if you let me.
656
00:31:31,215 --> 00:31:32,477
What do you want?
657
00:31:39,192 --> 00:31:40,587
You're making a big mistake.
658
00:31:42,916 --> 00:31:45,446
In thinking that Blair
could be trusted, yes.
659
00:31:46,733 --> 00:31:48,324
She will always have her secrets.
660
00:31:48,490 --> 00:31:50,395
She can't exist without them.
661
00:31:51,499 --> 00:31:52,870
You were right, after all.
662
00:31:53,583 --> 00:31:54,738
You should never listen to me.
663
00:31:54,739 --> 00:31:57,812
If you read Dan's book,
you know how I turn out.
664
00:32:01,660 --> 00:32:04,417
You have a chance
665
00:32:04,881 --> 00:32:07,468
at having love in your life,
666
00:32:08,874 --> 00:32:10,330
not ending up alone...
667
00:32:12,088 --> 00:32:13,474
hanging in a closet.
668
00:32:18,025 --> 00:32:21,112
Don't give up on your own fact
669
00:32:21,383 --> 00:32:22,983
over someone else's fiction.
670
00:32:29,703 --> 00:32:32,534
- I'm sorry you're hurt.
- No, not hurt. Mystified.
671
00:32:33,421 --> 00:32:35,089
In high school, you were the only one
672
00:32:35,090 --> 00:32:38,214
who saw me for who I really
was or who I wanted to be.
673
00:32:38,631 --> 00:32:41,448
You helped me be somebody
that I was more proud of.
674
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:44,296
I didn't know.
675
00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:47,121
Do you even remember the girl
that you fell in love with?
676
00:32:47,122 --> 00:32:51,080
Or just that she got so drunk on
Thanksgiving that she got grazed by a taxi
677
00:32:51,171 --> 00:32:53,382
or that she got married in Barcelona
678
00:32:53,383 --> 00:32:55,974
or slept with not one but
two of her professors?
679
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:58,754
I hate to break it to you,
but those things... happened.
680
00:32:58,755 --> 00:33:00,938
It's not the things.
It's how you wrote about them.
681
00:33:01,104 --> 00:33:04,103
That's the point.
Dylan Hunter is a judgmental dick
682
00:33:04,104 --> 00:33:05,296
who can't even look at
himself in the mirror.
683
00:33:05,297 --> 00:33:07,861
My character comes off
the worst of all of them.
684
00:33:08,368 --> 00:33:10,802
He puts off his writing.
He misses job interviews.
685
00:33:10,803 --> 00:33:12,704
He ignores his grades. Why?
686
00:33:14,063 --> 00:33:15,733
Because he cares more
for a pretty blonde
687
00:33:15,734 --> 00:33:17,359
than he does his own future,
and in the end,
688
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,106
none of his friends are
happy for his success.
689
00:33:19,107 --> 00:33:22,112
They all turn their backs on him,
and he deserves it!
690
00:33:22,482 --> 00:33:24,273
Yeah. He does.
691
00:33:27,763 --> 00:33:29,631
I need to find Blair.
I gotta make sure she's okay.
692
00:33:29,632 --> 00:33:31,029
No, we're not done here.
693
00:33:31,647 --> 00:33:32,886
I just messed up her engagement.
694
00:33:32,887 --> 00:33:34,136
I could ruin her life.
695
00:33:34,137 --> 00:33:35,193
Yeah, and what about mine?
696
00:33:35,194 --> 00:33:37,688
If you can't tell the difference
between what I did to Blair
697
00:33:37,689 --> 00:33:38,885
and what I did to you,
698
00:33:39,364 --> 00:33:42,039
then maybe your portrayal in the book
is more accurate than you thought.
699
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,635
That sounds exactly like something
Dylan Hunter would say.
700
00:33:47,191 --> 00:33:49,022
It's time.
You ready for your big moment?
701
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:52,791
Absolutely.
702
00:33:56,077 --> 00:33:57,379
Everyone? Everyone.
703
00:33:57,380 --> 00:33:59,913
Hi. I know you're not all here
to hear me speak
704
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:03,279
but to finally find
out who is "Anonymous."
705
00:34:05,002 --> 00:34:08,449
It is with great pleasure that
I introduce you to the amazingly special
706
00:34:08,450 --> 00:34:11,007
and very talented
author of "Inside"...
707
00:34:12,236 --> 00:34:13,485
Dan Humphrey.
708
00:34:27,523 --> 00:34:32,169
Seems Dan Humphrey's on the fast
track from lonely boy to only boy.
709
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:50,515
Louis didn't return
my calls all night.
710
00:34:51,741 --> 00:34:53,814
I don't know if he'll
ever speak to me again.
711
00:34:54,265 --> 00:34:56,932
Is that what you were
trying to tell me yesterday?
712
00:34:57,519 --> 00:34:59,145
Have you two been having trouble?
713
00:34:59,270 --> 00:35:00,370
No.
714
00:35:00,756 --> 00:35:02,688
Quite the contrary, in fact.
715
00:35:04,245 --> 00:35:06,410
I wish I was telling you
this at a better time, but...
716
00:35:07,882 --> 00:35:09,092
I'm pregnant.
717
00:35:10,359 --> 00:35:11,692
What?
718
00:35:12,578 --> 00:35:14,102
Oh, my gosh!
719
00:35:14,103 --> 00:35:16,037
Blair, that's amazing!
720
00:35:18,939 --> 00:35:21,161
Wait. That's...
that's good news, right?
721
00:35:21,508 --> 00:35:24,834
Well, I was happy. So happy.
722
00:35:25,331 --> 00:35:28,210
But now what if I'm in this alone?
723
00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:30,587
No, you're not alone. Never.
724
00:35:31,539 --> 00:35:33,365
I know I may have been
busy since I got back,
725
00:35:33,366 --> 00:35:35,175
but that doesn't mean
I'm not here for you.
726
00:35:37,094 --> 00:35:38,365
I can always count on you.
727
00:35:39,310 --> 00:35:41,331
I just wish Louis felt
the same about me.
728
00:35:41,771 --> 00:35:42,641
I do.
729
00:35:46,407 --> 00:35:47,904
I'm gonna get ready for work.
730
00:35:47,949 --> 00:35:48,997
I love you.
731
00:35:49,776 --> 00:35:51,110
Let me know if you need me.
732
00:35:57,018 --> 00:35:58,574
- Louis...
- Don't.
733
00:35:58,868 --> 00:36:00,853
I'm ashamed enough at my behavior.
734
00:36:02,042 --> 00:36:04,044
I know you have a complicated past,
735
00:36:04,615 --> 00:36:06,201
but you've been honest about it.
736
00:36:10,060 --> 00:36:11,364
It's hard for me.
737
00:36:12,543 --> 00:36:16,235
I want to believe, but every time I turn,
there seems to be another secret.
738
00:36:16,259 --> 00:36:18,732
That night at constance,
you gave me a choice.
739
00:36:19,777 --> 00:36:21,555
And now I'm giving you one.
740
00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:26,233
Either you find a way to trust me,
or you let me go.
741
00:36:28,027 --> 00:36:29,353
I could never let you go.
742
00:36:50,049 --> 00:36:51,322
Thanks for seeing me.
743
00:36:51,323 --> 00:36:54,063
Of course, Charles.
I'm so happy you called.
744
00:36:54,064 --> 00:36:55,297
It's been a long time.
745
00:36:56,774 --> 00:36:58,711
Rufus isn't here if you need to talk.
746
00:37:02,512 --> 00:37:04,514
Seems like I'm always off on my own.
747
00:37:06,071 --> 00:37:07,601
I thought you liked it that way.
748
00:37:10,070 --> 00:37:13,395
I don't want to be the
unrepentant bad boy
749
00:37:14,001 --> 00:37:15,776
who no one cares lives or dies.
750
00:37:16,528 --> 00:37:18,070
It's just a book, Charles.
751
00:37:18,327 --> 00:37:19,488
What if it isn't?
752
00:37:20,495 --> 00:37:23,233
There are people that
care so deeply for you
753
00:37:23,358 --> 00:37:25,160
if you would just let them.
754
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,329
Blair is lost to me.
755
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:30,377
I know.
756
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,589
I'm sorry.
757
00:37:46,514 --> 00:37:47,766
Hey, how was the party?
758
00:37:47,932 --> 00:37:49,267
Oh, I didn't go.
759
00:37:49,555 --> 00:37:51,603
Dan Humphrey wasn't exactly
the friend I thought he was.
760
00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:53,651
Mm. I'm sorry to hear it.
761
00:37:53,652 --> 00:37:55,581
I know how important
loyalty is to you.
762
00:37:56,566 --> 00:37:58,499
But I think I have something
that might cheer you up.
763
00:37:59,012 --> 00:38:01,245
I wanna introduce you
to your new colleague.
764
00:38:01,984 --> 00:38:03,133
Hi.
765
00:38:03,134 --> 00:38:05,909
Hey.
What are you doing here?
766
00:38:06,264 --> 00:38:08,834
I... needed a new job,
767
00:38:09,276 --> 00:38:12,234
so thank you for
introducing me to Diana.
768
00:38:13,752 --> 00:38:16,211
Why do I get the feeling that
there's more to this story?
769
00:38:16,377 --> 00:38:18,056
Oh, a lady never tells.
770
00:38:18,073 --> 00:38:19,891
It's always better
to stay mysterious.
771
00:38:20,016 --> 00:38:21,133
Ah.
772
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:22,586
Why don't you show her around?
773
00:38:23,052 --> 00:38:25,679
Sure. Yeah. Welcome aboard.
774
00:38:26,145 --> 00:38:27,287
Thank you.
775
00:38:27,551 --> 00:38:28,621
Come on in.
776
00:38:32,382 --> 00:38:33,639
Hey, dad.
777
00:38:34,936 --> 00:38:37,941
Your reviews? I guess you have
a lot of reading to do today.
778
00:38:38,107 --> 00:38:39,584
I don't want
you to get too excited,
779
00:38:39,585 --> 00:38:45,240
but "The New York Post" called your son
the "potential voice of his generation."
780
00:38:45,761 --> 00:38:48,805
And "The New York Times"
called the book... where is it...
781
00:38:48,891 --> 00:38:51,989
Uh, yeah, "a searing
portrayal of Manhattan's elite
782
00:38:51,990 --> 00:38:54,303
with just the right
portion of pathos."
783
00:38:54,304 --> 00:38:55,649
I had to double-check it to make sure
784
00:38:55,650 --> 00:38:59,212
they didn't say "pathetic," which is
what all my friends think I am.
785
00:39:01,668 --> 00:39:02,735
Is everything okay?
786
00:39:03,118 --> 00:39:04,929
Well, last night was your big night.
787
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:08,162
- I didn't want to ruin it for you, but...
- Well, it kinda went there on its own.
788
00:39:08,574 --> 00:39:10,348
What--what's going on?
Did you not like the book?
789
00:39:11,175 --> 00:39:12,925
Of course I did.
You're a beautiful writer.
790
00:39:13,530 --> 00:39:14,561
Just...
791
00:39:15,574 --> 00:39:17,044
Broke... broke my heart.
792
00:39:18,865 --> 00:39:20,532
Wait. Dad...
793
00:39:21,341 --> 00:39:24,622
I gave up my career to raise you, and
I never regretted it, not once...
794
00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:28,994
Until yesterday when I read
what you really think about me.
795
00:39:30,131 --> 00:39:32,903
Has-been turned trophy
husband who married for money.
796
00:39:33,441 --> 00:39:35,077
No, that is not...
That's not what I think of you.
797
00:39:35,078 --> 00:39:38,096
You more than anybody should
understand artistic license.
798
00:39:39,275 --> 00:39:41,379
I never expected to
be your hero, but...
799
00:39:43,730 --> 00:39:45,880
I just didn't think
I'd end up the fool.
800
00:39:51,328 --> 00:39:52,335
In literature,
801
00:39:52,460 --> 00:39:54,320
there are thousands of endings...
802
00:39:54,445 --> 00:39:57,062
Some happy, some sad.
803
00:39:59,053 --> 00:40:00,923
Some end with a twist.
804
00:40:04,806 --> 00:40:06,279
I want this book.
805
00:40:07,411 --> 00:40:09,616
Well... here it is.
806
00:40:10,050 --> 00:40:12,232
I want the movie rights to this book,
807
00:40:12,330 --> 00:40:13,745
and since you're good
friends with the author,
808
00:40:13,746 --> 00:40:15,718
that shouldn't be a problem, right?
809
00:40:15,843 --> 00:40:18,333
We're not exactly
on good terms right now.
810
00:40:18,499 --> 00:40:22,212
Look, your reputation
reflects directly on me,
811
00:40:22,724 --> 00:40:25,048
and frankly,
this book leaves yours in tatters.
812
00:40:25,357 --> 00:40:27,574
So prove to me I made the
right choice hiring you.
813
00:40:27,575 --> 00:40:29,702
I want this book,
and you're going to get it for me.
814
00:40:30,037 --> 00:40:33,181
So whatever you did to Dan Humphrey,
undo it, okay?
815
00:40:33,347 --> 00:40:34,558
You have a week.
816
00:40:42,779 --> 00:40:45,621
Yeah, but I don't know why
it says contact here...
817
00:40:52,332 --> 00:40:55,624
Some stories open the door
for something more.
818
00:40:56,898 --> 00:41:01,414
And then there are fairy tale endings
where the girl gets her prince.
819
00:41:03,174 --> 00:41:05,834
And endings that turn
you introspective
820
00:41:05,835 --> 00:41:09,384
about your own life
and your place in the world.
821
00:41:12,427 --> 00:41:13,474
Hello?
822
00:41:13,530 --> 00:41:15,599
How's my star?
Have you been reading the reviews?
823
00:41:16,581 --> 00:41:17,777
Yeah, a few.
824
00:41:17,793 --> 00:41:18,979
Well, I have great news.
825
00:41:18,980 --> 00:41:22,246
The book is now number 4 on
Amazon, and your reading today
826
00:41:22,247 --> 00:41:25,066
at the Union Square Barnes and Noble
is filling up fast.
827
00:41:25,811 --> 00:41:26,783
Great. That's great.
828
00:41:26,784 --> 00:41:30,354
And then there's the ending
that you saw coming a mile away
829
00:41:30,479 --> 00:41:33,450
and yet somehow still
takes you by surprise.
830
00:41:33,762 --> 00:41:35,629
So I'll see you there at 6:00.
And I know. I don't have
831
00:41:35,618 --> 00:41:37,454
to tell you to be on time
'cause you'll be early.
832
00:41:37,998 --> 00:41:41,311
Oh, how many tickets do you want me to
put on hold for your friends and family?
833
00:41:42,768 --> 00:41:44,459
None. It will just be me.
834
00:41:45,264 --> 00:41:47,967
But don't worry,
my Upper East Side friends.
835
00:41:48,228 --> 00:41:49,953
This story isn't ending.
836
00:41:50,013 --> 00:41:53,107
We're just at the start
of a brand-new chapter.
837
00:41:53,232 --> 00:41:54,651
X.O.X.O.
838
00:41:54,776 --> 00:41:56,210
Gossip Girl.
