Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl here-- your one and only source

into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite.

You're one of my oldest friends.

That's certainly not how it felt when you kissed me at Eleanor's.

He proposed before we left,

and I'm going to say yes.

I'm sure you'll make a beautiful bride.

Last night was strange but very fun.

Didn't we just say good-bye?

Somehow, you screwing Blair for sport is my fault!

I know how long you and I have been best friends, okay?

No, it's not okay. From now on, you stay away from me.

Georgina. What are you doing here?

I told you I was coming.

Dan of all people cannot know Georgie.

How about dinner tonight with Sarah instead?

Oh, Sarah again. What is she, your new girlfriend or something?

She's new in town, and she does want to meet you.

- I'm Sarah. - What do you want from me?

I want things to go back to how they were before that night,

before things got so screwed up.

What's Georgina got on you?

What's so bad you can't even tell me?

if you put the camera over there, she'll never know.

You can tell me anything.

I killed someone.

Gossip Girl 1x17 - Woman on the Verge -

In our modern age, when you can call someone and can't find them,

you can pretty much be sure they'll get the message.

Hey, S., it's Georgie.

Listen, I know it's early, but I thought I'd...

So this is my third call. Where are you?

It's me again. I've left you a couple messages,

and you haven't called me back.

I think we should hang out today.

Friends hang out. Maybe you've lost your cell phone.

Can't wait to see you.

But if they don't call you back,

it usually means they don't want to be found.

Hey, do you think "Track me down" should come before or after "Everytime"?

Is the "Rolling Stone" thing tonight?

I guess I really am in one of the top ten forgotten bands of the '90s.

It's true. I forgot.

Yeah, but a lot of people remember. There's a reason that issue

was one of the highest selling of the year.

And I'm proud, dad. I really am.

You got your follow-up article and a concert, surely followed by

an overpriced CD sold at corporate coffeehouses for gen xers

without taste buds... or taste.

Hey, it' s gonna be cool. I mean, they're even filming it for VH1.

VH1 classics. The "classic" is kind of important.

I'm classic.

Uh-oh, no retort. Signs of a sleepless night.

Disinterest in making your father feel old and irrelevant...

that can only mean one thing-- girl trouble.

Yeah, Serena and I, we had a fight last night--

this new kind we keep having

where she says something, and I know it's not the whole truth.

Well, have you asked her what's really on her mind?

Only about 10,000 times, yeah.

Yeah, but did you really mean it? Most times, when people

don't offer the truth, it's because they are afraid of what someone might think.

And I don't know if you know this, but you can be a pretty judgmental guy.

So you're saying that I should learn to be someone else around her

so she can be herself around me?

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Thank you, dad.

I'm gonna go find her right now.

See you tonight...

both of you.

And here I thought I had your schedule memorized.

I switched shifts and just got off.

I'm Dan's dad's roadie for the day,

so I gotta bail in, like, five.

Although I don't mind the stalking...

When are you gonna ask me on a real date?

Hold that thought. Sorry.

Hello?

Yeah. Yeah, okay, I'll be right there.

- Look, I'm sorry. I gotta go. - So I heard.

No, no, no. It's not what you think. It's just...

What are you doing tonight?

Me, Lincoln Hawk, a dirty van and a lot of cables?

Can I meet you at the concert?

Can you be there at 7:30?

- It's a date. - Finally.

Text me the address.

The guests will be checked into their suites as soon as they arrive.

The walk-through is at 2:00, and the rehearsal dinner

starts promptly at 7:00 p.m. in the Reid salon.

Don't forget. You have your interview with "Rolling Stone" in one hour.

The interview. How could we forget?

Hey, excuse me, Mr. Bass, Ms. Van der Woodsen.

Not for long, thank you very much.

- Morning, Daniel. - Morning.

Have either of you seen Serena? She's not upstairs.

Ticktock, ticktock, ticktock, ticktock, ticktock.

No, Dan, sorry.

Okay.

And her bed hasn't been slept in.

I knew housekeeping was hiring, but I had no idea

their standards were so low.

I hate that I have to ask you this, but have you seen Serena?

Oh, I've seen lots of Serena.

Are you drunk dialing again?

No, Serena didn't come home last night.

I thought she was with you.

Maybe this is Blair's idea of a perverse double date.

Miss Blair asks that you should wait there.

She's on her way now.

She's not even here?

Well, this oughta be good.

You're not calling me back, and you're not picking up.

I thought you understood me,

but maybe I should make myself a little more clear

and come to you.

We can talk about it over coffee.

I brought it just the way you like it...

dark but sweet.

Oh, no.

Hey, Sarah!

- Dan! - Hey!

Oh, my gosh! What a coincidence.

Yeah. What are you doing here?

Oh, I actually have an old friend from Portland staying here.

- Okay. - What are you doing here?

Oh, I came looking for Serena,

but she apparently didn't come home last night, so I'm just...

I don't know. I'm trying to figure out what to think.

She's been-- well, let's just say she's not been herself lately.

So I don't know. I don't know what to do exactly.

Why don't you try giving her a call again?

And when she sees it's you calling,

she'll immediately pick up and tell you all about it.

Hey, I've been lookin' all over for ya.

Hey, is this Dan?

- Who's this? - My name's Drew.

I'm the bartender at One Oak. Some girl left this phone here last night.

It's been ringing off the hook all morning.

You were the first number on the speed dial--

Some girl? What girl?

Tall, blonde. Left here around 2:00 with 3 guys.

Skipped out on her tab, which was pretty substan--

Hey. What is it?

Spotted-- lonely boy on the Upper East Side

learning the lesson that nothing stays missing for long.

It's nothing. Nothing.

Things always turn up,

- for better... - Is something actually wrong,

or is this just some ploy to get us both here?

I meant what I said on the phone. I need your help.

We need your help.

Or for worse.

Oh, my God.

You okay?

- What's wrong with her? - Take her upstairs.

Dorota! Coffee, fast.

Come on, Serena. We have to get her in the shower.

We have to keep her talking and awake. Come on, come on.

Dorota, will you please get her a fresh change of clothes and a bathrobe?

Of course, miss Blair.

So we have every hangover cure known to man, plus bagels.

They should help soak up the alcohol and whatever else she took.

Thank you. I'll take it from here.

- Come on, Serena. Help me out. - B., it's cold!

Just like old times.

You know, why do I get the feeling you're actually enjoying this?

Call me sentimental.

I may not need those bagels after all.

What's going on with her?

She was here last night, scared.

She... she told me something totally crazy,

but was too freaked out to find the words to explain it.

I went upstairs to find my mom's valium to calm her down,

but when I got back, she was gone.

It took me all night to find her.

What exactly did she say to you?

That's beside the point.

We're here to help Serena, no matter what the problem is.

Hey, could you maybe read that somewhere else?

I don't like the "Post."

Is that why you subscribe?

Another thing I don't like-- my son depressed.

I don't know if you've talked to him recently...

We've talked.

He and Serena-- should I be worried?

It's been a little bumpy lately, sure.

I think the most recent bump is our friend Sarah.

Serena's a little jealous, but Sarah's cool,

so as soon as Serena gets to know her, everything will be fine.

I love that picture of you!

Yeah, me, too.

Tell me where you took this photograph,

what undoubtedly could be called the band's most well-known image?

- I wouldn't go that far. - I would.

It's positively iconic.

Were you and Rufus Humphrey already involved when you took it?

- Excuse me? - Rufus Humphrey,

lead singer of Lincoln Hawk. Or... was this before or after--

Oh, well, I simply don't feel comfortable
