Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl, here. Your one and only source

into the scandalous life of Manhattan's ellite.

I can't have you spending time with someone messed up with drugs.

Everyone'll be happy to know that Damien and I broke up.

You touch this dress, you'll never set foot in here again.

You should do your own clothing line.

I can model them. You can totally do this. I had no idea you'd be such a little thief.

Agnes, give me my dresses! What are you doing?!

Keeping these feelings aside is-is killing me,

'cause all I wanna do is tell everybody how happy I am.

I think you should tell people.

I want to be as much a part of your life as you'll let me.

I need someone to take over operations of my hotel.

There are other people who'd do a better job.

Those other people aren't my mother.

Do we have ourselves a hotel? We do.

- Gossip Girl 3 Episode 16 - - The Empire Strikes Jack -

Tthey say the clothes make the man, but who makes the clothes?

on the Upper East Side, it's Eleanor Waldorf,

and we hear her new line is to die for.

So, uh, where are we going?

I thought everyone was coming over for brunch.

It's the first since you moved back to Lily's.

Jen, as hard as it is for me to admit,

there are some things more important in life than waffles.

And I'm not gonna let you spend another day sulking in that apartment.

Okay, well, you grounded me. And I won't be able to unground you

until I know you're okay. That's why we're going to Eleanor's.

Wait. What? I was talking to Serena, and she said

that Eleanor is having something called a pop-up fashion show

for her new junior line.

So I called Eleanor and asked her if you could help out.

Dad, the last time I worked for Eleanor,

it didn't exactly end well. Remember?

But I also remember that my daughter used to love working in fashion.

Listen, just give it a shot. Your room's not going anywhere.

This isn't so bad, is it? Thanks, dad.

I'll see you at home tonight, after the show.

There's something about waking up on the day of a fashion show.

The smell of fresh pleats wafting through the city...

Nothing quickens your blood quite like couture.

Ride with me uptown?

My mother would love to see you for breakfast.

I have a breakfast with my mother.

I'm so proud of you for opening up to Elizabeth.

She earned my trust, and I, hers.

And she seems to be faring well at the helm of the mighty empire?

Oh, she's a natural. Have a perfect day.

Oh. Nothing says luxury quite like your own private army.

Victor, is everything all right?

Mr. bass, you need to vacate the premises... immediately.

I think you've misunderstood.

I may have put my mother in charge for the time being,

but I'm not leaving the hotel. Actually, sir, these orders come from her.

My, look who's risen from the dead.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for this opportunity.

And I've really learned a lot since the last time we worked together,

and I won't let you down. Well, despite our troubled past,

as I told your father, I am a firm believer in second chances,

so I even rehired your friend.

Jenny. Agnes?

Uh, hi. How are you? - 90 days sober in a.A.

Good for you. Now come on, Jenny. What are you waiting for?

Get Agnes fitted, Hmm?

I like to see my elves busy. Clock's tickin'.

You ready? 'Cause this is it. Mm. I'm ready. It's time.

We're just gonna go in and tell them we're dating.

Exactly. It's-it's no big. Hey! It's the lovebirds.

Hey, you two. Oh, hey. Hey.

He told you, didn't he? She can read my mind. I mean...

Oh, come on. You couldn't wait to tell.

Well, speaking for everyone else, I think it's great.

And now that the happy couple has arrived, let's go eat.

Come on.

I have some very exciting news.

Mr. conwell is flying in from salt Lake city

to see the show tonight. Mr. conwell?

He is the C.E.O. Of conwell's department stores.

Blair, it's the biggest retailer in the entire country,

and my first choice to carry the new junior line.

What about barneys or saks... Or bloomingdale's?

Hmm. No, my dear, high-end has fallen on hard times.

Mr. conwell can put my line in over 5,000 retail locations.

Where bristol palin shops?

Feed the masses. Eat with the classes.

Although you do raise a very good point.

My usual crowd of uptown socialites

and boho fashionistas might give Mr. conwell the wrong message.

We need to surround him with wholesome American girls-

the kind of girl that he wants to shop at conwell's.

I just had the most inspired idea. Dessert at momofuku after the show?

No. You should invite all of your college girlfriends

to see the show tonight. Mother, it's very last minute.

Miss Blair keep girls on busy schedule.

Must beat drum, she says.

Baby beat dorota's stomach like Lars from metallica.

I need a gaggle of * ** college freshmen.

Just bring 10 or 20, no more than 30.

Tell them how important it is to you, to me. I need Mr. conwell to say yes.

But, miss Blair, you have no friends.

Even N.Y.U. Minions very second-rate.

Actually...

There is one person at N.Y.U. Who could help.

Chuck.

Did you send security to kick me out?

Just listen. I- no.

Let me. Morning, nephew.

What is this leech doing stuck to my hotel?

Your hotel? This is Elizabeth's hotel.

You're just a guest who's no longer welcome here.

I'm sorry, Chuck. You need to leave.

What? Wait. What the hell is going on here?

Isn't it obvious?

You've been played, Chucky, from the very beginning.

Now... It's check-out time,

and we need to get your room ready for, well, me.

Stop.

We hear Chuck's hotel is hanging on by a thread...

And Jack's pulling all the strings.

Vanessa, I'm seriously so happy for you guys.

Thanks. It's been really great.

It's been so easy to be with Dan, you know,

knowing someone your whole life, like you and Nate.

Yeah, it definitely has its advantages.

When you've known someone so long,

you know, you're just more comfortable.

Nate and I have no problem trying new things.

Not like that.

Just keeping the romance and mystery alive.

You don't ever want to fall into a rut.

I'm sure you and Dan... yeah, we always try new things.

So since you guys are out of hiding,

what are your plans tonight? You should come to Eleanor's fashion show.

Oh, no. Actually, uh, we're- we're just gonna be doing dinner at the loft.

Vanessa's cooking up some, uh - private dinner, Hmm? Sounds romantic.

No, no. It's not-it's not like that. It's not like that.

We're just, you know, watching movies, cooking up some noodles.

Uh, it's kind of become our Saturday tradition.

Agnes, can you put your arms down, please?

Both arms.

Look, Agnes, I'm sorry for how everything went down.

I shouldn't have gone behind your back

and tried to cut you out of the fashion line.

I was gonna quit anyway. Those dresses were lame.

Agnes, I'm trying to apologize.

You trusted me, believed in me, and I betrayed you.

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for torching your dresses.

Truth is, they were amazing. Over it?

I missed you, bitch.

What is it? Nothing.

Ugh. Well...

Truth is I was dating this guy named Damien,

and he was a lot of things, one of them being a dealer.

The sid to your Nancy. That's awesome. What happened?

Well, when I didn't want to, uh... Whatever with him,

he bailed. Now he just keeps texting me for his stupid pills.

Sweetie, you can't let him treat you like that.

I know, but whatever. Spin.

Hey, Damien?

It's Jenny's friend Agnes. What are you doing?

Yeah, she wanted me to call you to set up a swap.

We were thinking the Waldorf pop-up show?

Love it. Kiss. Agnes.

What? Chill out. This is your payback, okay?

He's gonna show up tonight. You're gonna wave the baggy

in front of his face and then flush it down the toilet.

No one gets hurt, and you get to show him who's boss.

Gotta take back your pride, babe.

All right. I'll admit that's actually kind of brilliant.

We're total bitches. Hey.

I want to do something special for Dan tonight.

Vanessa, I'm sorry. I hope I didn't make you feel--

no, not at all. You were right. Noodles and movies?

I mean, I just don't want it to feel like

his one-millionth dinner with the same girl he's

known his whole life. Two words--role-play.

You know, that's- that's not a terrible idea.

Why don't you do a date night inspired by one of his favorite films?

He would definitely not be expecting that.

Hey, so, uh, I'll see you at the loft at 6:00?

6:30 maybe. Okay.

Oh, my God. What's wrong? We, uh, we have to find Chuck.

You hate it?

I had forgotten how talented you are.

I want to close with this. And after the show is over,

you and I need to have a talk about finding you

a more permanent position with Waldorf designs.

Yeah. Wow. Eleanor, thank you so much.

Yeah.

Treats were in your dresser, just like you said.

Grabbed this clutch to hide 'em. Ohh! The eagle has landed.

Thank you, kali.

I'm sorry, Agnes...

I don't--I don't think I wanna go through with this.

It's just that it's the first time in weeks

that I've been able to not think about Damien

and the first time in even longer that I've actually been happy.

I don't know I just really forgot how much I love this,

and I don't want to do anything to mess it up, you know?
