Oliver Queen:「This baby could be anybody 's .」
Kyle:「It also means it could be yours .」
Oliver Queen:「Yeah , but when I found out Stacy was pregnant , I asked her if I was the father .」
Kyle:「You did ?」
Oliver Queen:「Yeah , and she said that it was Rex 's .」
Kyle:「Except she 'd already lost Rex 's baby and she has to make him believe that this one is his .」
Oliver Queen:「Okay , so then it has to be Schuyler 's .」
Kyle:「Why ?」
Oliver Queen:「Because that 's the only thing that makes any sense . Why tell Schuyler it 's his kid if it is n't ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Stacy:「You would be perfect .」
Kim:「To take care of a baby ?」
Stacy:「Yeah . Why not ?」
Kim:「Well , what about Gigi ?」
Stacy:「You 're kidding me , right ?」
Kim:「She already has a kid . She probably still has the , you know , instruction manual .」
Stacy:「Yeah , and she hates me , and she 'd turn the kid against me . You know what , she would n't even want it . She 'd leave it on somebody 's doorstep .」
Kim:「So , maybe she picks someone good .」
Stacy:「I do n't want anybody Gigi picks . I want you . You 're the closest thing I have to a real sister .」
Kim:「Oh , Stace .」
Stacy:「I know . Mostly , you 're the only person I trust .」
Kim:「I love you , honey --」
Stacy:「I love you , too .」
Kim:「And I would do anything for you . I would lie , cheat , blackmail . I 'd even pimp for you --」
Stacy:「I know .」
Kim:「But I draw the line at diapers .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Kyle:「Stacy does n't do anything that is n't good for Stacy , so she has to have a really good reason to tell Schuyler this is his baby .」
Oliver Queen:「What , other than the fact that it actually is ?」
Kyle:「She wants Rex to believe that this kid is his , so why would Schuyler cover for her ?」
Oliver Queen:「I do n't know . You know , Kyle , I do n't know what to believe . All I keep thinking is that I could have a baby .」
Kyle:「I know .」
Oliver Queen:「What am I gon na do ?」
Kyle:「I know what we 're not gon na do is panic .」
Oliver Queen:「Yeah . I think it might be too late for that .」
Kyle:「Listen to me . We 're gon na deal with this together , okay , no matter what we find out .」
Oliver Queen:「Okay .」


Kyle:「So , what 's the first step , Officer ? How do you deal with a lying , scheming bimbo ?」
Oliver Queen:「Head on .」

Starr:「Mitch Laurence --」
Cole:「What the hell are you doing here ?」
Mitch:「I 'm just spreading the word of God to the masses , for those who seek deeper meaning amidst the abyss of consumer culture .」
Cole:「Well , we 're not interested .」
Mitch:「You 're obviously in need of spiritual guidance , two lost souls such as yourselves with a baby born out of wedlock .」
Starr:「Hope is the best thing that ever happened to us .」
Mitch:「Well , we could hardly expect better , given your upbringing -- your mother the town tramp , your father a rapist --」
Cole:「Shut your filthy mouth .」
Mitch:「But you would honestly defend Todd Manning ?」
Cole:「Yes .」
Starr:「Just do n't . His words ca n't hurt us .」
Mitch:「That 's true . It was her father who hurt your mother , hmm ?」
Cole:「I said shut up .」
Mitch:「Once he had sullied her , her life was ruined forever .」
Starr:「Aah !」

Langston:「I love Markko .」
Blair Waldorf:「I heard you .」
Langston:「He 's my best friend . I mean , you know , he opens doors for me , and he always asks me how my day was and my opinions on things . When I get really tired , he rubs my feet until I fall asleep . He 's it .」

Langston:「Good .」

Ford:「What do you think ?」
Markko:「Me ?」
Ford:「Yeah . I mean , would it be weird if I came ?」


Markko:「No . No . It 's not weird at all . In fact , you can be my guest .」

Langston:「What is my problem ? I mean , he is just some guy with a hot body .」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , Langston , sometimes that 's about all you need .」
Langston:「He 's also got good looks and a killer smile .」
Blair Waldorf:「Ooh , that does n't hurt , either .」
Langston:「But so what ? A lot of guys have that . That 's never been enough for me .」
Blair Waldorf:「Will you listen to me ? You are gon na be attracted to other guys , even though you still love your boyfriend .」
Langston:「So , what am I supposed to do ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Nothing .」
Langston:「Nothing ?」
Blair Waldorf:「As long as you know who you love , you 're gon na be okay .」


Langston:「Well , I just want to make sure that it does n't happen again .」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , the only advice I can really give you on that one is , maybe just stay away from Ford .」
Langston:「Right . Well , it should n't be too hard . I do n't really have a reason to see him . Do you think I should tell Markko ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Absolutely not .」
Langston:「Why ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , because you tell Markko , that 's all Markko is gon na be able to think about , is you and Ford .」
Langston:「Yeah . He kind of already does .」
Blair Waldorf:「All right , so you want to make him feel any more insecure than he already is ? Tell you what . It 'll be our little secret , okay ?」
Markko:「What secret ?」

Matthew:「What 's wrong ?」
Dani:「I do n't know .」
Matthew:「Tell me .」
Dani:「I found all these .」
Matthew:「What is it ?」
Dani:「Todd Manning .」
Matthew:「Oh .」
Dani:「Did you know about this stuff , everything that he 's done ?」
Matthew:「Yeah .」
Dani:「Oh , I guess everybody knows except me .」
Matthew:「Hey , why are you looking at that stuff , anyway ? It 's just gon na make you more upset .」
Dani:「Because I have to .」
Matthew:「Why ?」
Dani:「Because Todd is my father .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Todd:「So , you and Dani are here because of Ross .」
Téa:「I know it sounds crazy , but when Ross found out that Dani had held a gun on you , he realized what was at stake . He did n't want his daughter to become a murderer .」
Todd:「Better late than never , I guess .」
Téa:「Yeah . He realized what he had done to her , that she could 've thrown away the rest of her life by following his example , and he loved her enough to let her go . Now you have to love her enough to let Ross go .」
Todd:「I do , huh ?」
Téa:「Yeah . You do if you want any kind of relationship with your daughter . Dani still loves Ross very much . If you do anything to hurt him , she will take his side against you in a moment 's notice . Oh , do you have any idea how lucky you are ? She despised you . She wanted nothing to do with you because she thought you had killed her father , and now , just like that -- everything has changed . You have another shot at your daughter . Do n't blow it .」

Stacy:「Wait . You do n't want my baby ?」
Kim:「Honey , it 's not that I do n't want your baby . I do n't want any baby . I would n't even know what to do with a baby .」
Stacy:「But you would n't have to do anything .」
Kim:「Hey , TV is good , but it 's not that good .」
Stacy:「No . It 's not like Rex and I are gon na go croak tomorrow , and by the time we do , you and Clint will be married .」
Kim:「I did n't think of that .」
Stacy:「You 'll be a billionaire . The baby will be a billionaire . You could hire an entire staff to feed it and hold it .」
Kim:「Change it .」
Stacy:「You would n't have to do anything . You 'll never ever have to do anything . Just be a name on the dotted line .」


Kim:「I do n't even know why we 're talking about this . Nothing is gon na happen to you or Rex --」
Stacy:「Hey , knock on wood when you say that .」
Kim:「And even if something did , Schuyler would totally take the baby .」
Stacy:「You think ?」
Kim:「Come on . The guy practically has " number - one dad " tattooed on his forehead .」
Stacy:「Yeah , only he 's not the dad .」
Oliver Queen:「Stacy , we need to talk .」
Kim:「Who let you in ?」
Oliver Queen:「Oh . Showed this to the English dude at the door .」
Stacy:「Look . I know what Rex said , Oliver , but I really do n't think I need a bodyguard while I 'm here .」
Kyle:「Oh , no . You just need an ass - whooping .」

Langston:「We will .」
Blair Waldorf:「Get my purse .」
Langston:「Okay .」
Markko:「Bye .」
Blair Waldorf:「Bye .」
Langston:「I thought you were supposed to be at work .」
Markko:「Well , Cris cut me loose . He thought I might want to spend the day with you .」
Langston:「Well , remind me to thank him later at the party .」
Markko:「About that --」
Langston:「What ?」
Markko:「Well , Ford was at Buenos Dias with Cris , and we kind of --」
Langston:「No . You did n't get into it with him again , did you ?」
Markko:「Not exactly .」
Langston:「What do you mean , not exactly ?」
Markko:「It means I wanted to but I took the high road .」
Langston:「So , you did n't say anything ?」


Markko:「Even better . I invited Ford to Capricorn tonight .」
Langston:「What did you do that for ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Oliver Queen:「So , is it Schuyler 's or mine ? No . Do n't look at her . She ca n't help you now .」
Stacy:「What makes you think this baby is yours ?」
Oliver Queen:「Uh , we spent the night together .」
Stacy:「Because you were totally wasted . What makes you think we had sex ?」
Oliver Queen:「Because you told me we did .」
Stacy:「Oh , come on , Oliver . You 've known me long enough to know that just because I say something , does n't mean it 's the truth .」
Kyle:「Oh , that 's reassuring .」
Stacy:「Do n't judge me . He 's the one who was too drunk to remember what happened , okay ?」
Oliver Queen:「Oh , come on . I know when I have sex with a woman .」
Kim:「Because of all your experience ?」
Oliver Queen:「Oh , just because I 'm gay does n't mean that --」
Kim:「Oh , please . You would n't know your way around a woman with a GPS .」
Stacy:「Okay . It does n't matter what happened . The baby is Schuy 's .」
Kyle:「How would you know ? There was nothing on your chart about CVS .」
Kim:「Is she supposed to know what that is ?」
Kyle:「It 's chorionic villi sampling . It tests for abnormalities in the fetus , but it 's also a paternity test .」
Stacy:「And it could hurt the baby , which is why I was n't about to --」
Kyle:「Prove Rex is n't the father ?」
Kim:「That 's it . Enough of your scare tactics .」
Kyle:「Oh , this is not scare tactics , sweetheart . This is real .」
Kim:「All this stress is n't good for Stacy and her baby .」
Kyle:「Yeah . It 's not just her baby .」
Kim:「It 's not yours , either . I want you out .」
Kyle:「All right . Fine . Fine , but if we do n't leave here without proof of that baby 's paternity , we 're going straight to Rex and Schuyler , and once they find out what we have to say , there wo n't be a moat big enough to keep you safe .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Matthew:「What are you talking about ? Ross is your dad .」
Dani:「He is , was , in every way that counts except for the one that my mom lied about . Todd Manning was the one that got her pregnant .」
Matthew:「I 'm sor -- I do n't know what to say ?」
Dani:「It 's okay . I do n't know what to say , either . Like there 's some guide book -- " what to do when you find out your life has been a lie . "」


Matthew:「I wish I could 've had a copy of that .」
Dani:「Wait . This happened to you , too ?」
Matthew:「Eh , I 'll tell you the story some other time .」
Dani:「Sure . Maybe we can start our own club .」
Matthew:「So , after all these years , Ross and your mom were lying to you ?」
Dani:「Well , Dad had nothing to do with it . My mom decided to screw with our lives all by herself .」
Matthew:「So , why is she telling you the truth now ?」
Dani:「Because it does n't matter how far my mom gets away from Todd . She ca n't let him go .」
Matthew:「So , she wants to be with him ?」
Dani:「I do n't know who 's sicker , Todd Manning for everything that he 's done or my mother for loving him .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Todd:「So , now that she 's knows the truth , she 's gon na want it all , is n't she ?」
Téa:「Oh , kind of like leading her through a minefield .」
Todd:「She does n't know anything about me ?」
Téa:「Mm , nothing except the fact that you 're her father . She does n't know anything about Starr or Jack or Sam .」
Todd:「Or anything else from my colorful past .」
Téa:「I did n't think it was my place to tell her .」
Todd:「She 's gon na find out sooner or later . I ca n't keep it secret .」
Téa:「You have to tell her , Todd . You have to be the one to tell her .」
Todd:「Yeah . I know .」
Téa:「You 're not the only one with some explaining to do . After all this , oh , Daniella is not gon na look at either one of us the same way again .」
Todd:「You know , I think there a flight leaving for Tahiti in half an hour .」
Téa:「I 'm not going without you .」
Todd:「Ha ha ha ! You sure ?」
Téa:「Ah , I love you , Todd . We can get through this together . I know we can .」
Todd:「Thanks for coming back to me .」

Dani:「This is what she wants me to know , that the guy who made me is a rapist , that he escaped from jail and killed some guy , that later on , he was suspected of killing someone else , then held a bunch of people hostage ? I mean , come on . What has n't he done ? He 's hurt practically everyone in this town . There 's even something about your mother in here . Todd came after her . Is that true ?」
Matthew:「Yeah .」
Dani:「How can he be walking around freely ? Why has no one come after him ?」
Matthew:「I do n't know .」
Dani:「My mom used to talk so much crap about my dad -- how I should n't be around him , how he did n't deserve me , how he was n't good enough to be my father . He is n't good enough to be my father , but Todd Manning is .」

Markko:「Do you really think I 'm gon na let anything spoil your birthday party ?」
Langston:「Well , I know you wo n't want to , but --」
Markko:「I told you , I took the high road . You know , I 'm kind of proud of myself .」
Langston:「So , you just invited him out of the kindness of your heart ?」
Markko:「All right . Cris started talking about the party , and before I knew it , he was inviting Ford , and , you know , Ford is new in town . He does n't know anybody , so I took pity on him , and I said he could come tonight . Was that wrong ? Do you want me to disinvite him ?」

Kim:「Go ahead .」
Oliver Queen:「Fine .」
Kyle:「All right .」
Kim:「We 'll do the same , only Kyle will be the one who 'll suffer .」
Oliver Queen:「What does that mean ?」
Kim:「My boss , Clint Buchanan , has hospital board members in and out of his office all the time . You guys spill one word to Rex or Schuyler , and I 'll make sure they find out how Kyle got his info .」
Stacy:「And he 's supposed to not use private medical information to blackmail a patient . It 's against the Hippocratic Oath .」

Cristian:「So , Markko is jealous .」
Ford:「Oh , maybe , but he has no reason to be . The whole thing was totally innocent .」
Cristian:「And you 're not interested in Langston .」
Ford:「Please . I mean , do n't get me wrong . She 's a great girl . She 's pretty . She 's cool . She 's , you know , smart , but she 's not for me . Believe me , Markko has nothing to worry about .」

Markko:「I knew it . I knew I should 've talked to you before I invited Ford . It 's just , you know , Cris started talking about the party , and Ford just looked so pathetic .」

Markko:「Yeah ?」
Langston:「Yeah . It 'll be fine .」
Markko:「You know , Ford'll probably just end up hanging out with Cris and Layla the whole night , anyway , right ?」
Langston:「Right , with all the other people who can legally drink .」

Langston:「Right .」

Matthew:「You do n't have to .」
Dani:「Yes , I do . My mom is coming back to take me to see him .」
Matthew:「Then just tell her you do n't want to .」
Dani:「Like she 'll listen . She 'll just figure out a way to talk me into it like she always does .」
Matthew:「What can I do ?」
Dani:「I do n't know . I do n't think you can do anything .」

Todd:「Yeah . I know . I did n't think I would do that , either .」
Blair Waldorf:「And ?」
Todd:「And things have changed .」
Blair Waldorf:「Okay . Well , good . Good , because she deserves to know the truth , but , Todd , I just do n't want you to get your hopes up and think that you 're gon na have this great father - daughter reunion .」
Todd:「Now , why would I expect that ? Do you think that I think it 's gon na be some kind of bonding event ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Yeah , because that 's what you do . You have a habit of , you know , rushing things .」
Todd:「No . Believe me , I know this is not something that I can buy my way out of .」
Blair Waldorf:「All right . Well , I want you to remember that because I have a feeling it 's gon na take Dani a long time before she can deal with what you did .」


Cristian:「You see it , too , do n't you ? I 'm not the same man I was before . I thought this book would bring me closer to you . Instead , it 's just driving us apart . If I get rid of it , maybe I -- maybe I could start something new with you , Natalie . Maybe your mom 's right . Maybe -- maybe I can fix this , you know , be someone new , someone good .

Natalie:「Because this is n't about me . This is about my husband , and whatever is in that book , John 's just going to take it the wrong way and make it sound like Cristian 's some sort of danger to me .」
Evangeline:「Natalie , John does n't make accusations lightly . And for whatever reason , he sees you as someone he needs to protect .」
Natalie:「Yeah , well , you know what ? He does n't have to . I 'm not the one in trouble . I 'm just -- I 'm worried about my husband right now , ok ? I ca n't even help him .」

Kevin:「No ? Let 's get him out there . Hey . Come on out . How are you ? Huh ? We had Ace when he was about this age . My wife used to give him a bath and I 'd hide behind her and I 'd pop out from one side to the next , you know , and he would just giggle like crazy .」
Woman:「Has there been any word on your son ?」
Kevin:「No , nothing yet . We 're going to find him , though .」

Blair Waldorf:「Margaret killed Mrs. Bigelow because Mrs. Bigelow found out that Margaret had Todd , and that 's why Dorian and I set up a trap .」
Nora:「You and Dorian ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Mm - hmm . We put an article in " The Sun " saying that Mrs. Bigelow had miraculously survived the fall , but was in critical condition .」
Nora:「And she actually was dead , though , right ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Yeah , and we moved her body to the hospital .」
Nora:「You moved her body ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Yeah .」
Nora:「Well , Blair , now you 're the one that sounds loopy .」


Blair Waldorf:「Yeah , I know . I know that , and that 's why Margaret was able to get a restraining order against me and that 's why the cops wo n't help me do anything to find Todd and that 's why I ca n't find any evidence that Margaret has Todd .」
Nora:「Ok , ok , come on , come on . Calm down , calm down . Sit , sit . Ok , now , is there any evidence at all that would prove that Mrs. Bigelow did n't commit suicide ?」
Blair Waldorf:「No . Todd has n't accessed any of his accounts since he disappeared , and that 's been over a month ago .」
Nora:「Ok . That 's something .」
Blair Waldorf:「They sent Margaret to St. Ann 's for kidnapping Ace .」
Nora:「Ok , see ? This is good . That 's very good . Anything else ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , I 'm telling you , she was all over us when she was released .」
Nora:「Did you file a complaint against her ?」
Blair Waldorf:「No . Todd said , " Do n't worry , Blair , do n't worry . I can handle her . She 's nuts , but I can handle her . "」


Nora:「Well , if she abducted Todd , then he grossly underestimated her .」
Blair Waldorf:「Yeah , we both did , did n't we ?」
Nora:「All right , you know what we got to do ? We just put our heads together and come up with anything we can on Margaret Cochran and see if that leads us to Todd .」
Blair Waldorf:「No , it 's going to be too late , Nora . I 'm telling you that woman has Todd . You got to help me , please ? Help me find him .」

Nora:「I -- I know a lot about mistakes , Blair . It 's ok .」
Blair Waldorf:「Yeah . You know , you and Bo are a lot like Todd and me .」
Nora:「Hmm . How so ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , he 's the father of your child and you 're connected no matter what happens .」
Nora:「We 're going to need more than our gut instincts , ok , to find Margaret Cochran and Todd .」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , Bo put an A.P.B. out on Todd , but I really just do n't think he 's taking it seriously enough .」
Nora:「Well , I 'm taking it seriously . As a matter of fact , I 'm going to go get that file . I got an idea . I 'll be right back .」

I have to be careful now that I know . I have another mission to fulfill in Llanview . I 've killed Tico Santi , and I will kill again . I will complete my mission . " No , no more killing .

Evangeline:「What ? They ca n't suspend him because of an article in " The Sun . " Maybe I should go talk to Michael or talk to the board myself . Where is he ?」
John:「He 's not picking up his cell ; he was n't answering in his room . That 's why I came over here .」
Natalie:「That 's why you need to go find him . I 'm going to go find Cris .」
John:「Wait . Look , I overheard Evangeline telling you to talk to me . So what 's up ?」
Natalie:「Look , I just got a lecture from Evangeline . I seriously do n't need one from you , too .」
Evangeline:「I told her that she needs your help .」
Natalie:「Cristian needs your help .」
Evangeline:「Look , Natalie , you do what you want . I just said that you need to tell him because this is n't the kind of thing that you handle by yourself . Look , you two talk . I 'm going to go make a few phone calls ; see if I can help straighten this out for Michael . You can trust him .」
John:「Hey , talk to me .」
Natalie:「What do you want me to say ? That my husband 's been a mess since he 's come back ? John , I 'm sorry , I ca n't do that . You 're asking me to trust you over Cristian , and I 'm sorry , but I choose Cristian .」

Nora:「Ok , you need to keep your voice down .」
Blair Waldorf:「I 'm sorry .」
Nora:「This is privileged information from a psych report , and if anyone found out that I borrowed this file and showed it to a civilian , Daniel would have my job .」


Blair Waldorf:「Daniel wanted to write up Mrs. Bigelow 's murder as a suicide , and then that would 've been absolutely it . Thank goodness for Bo . I mean , Daniel 's a mercenary .」
Nora:「He 's not a mercenary . He 's the D.A. with a heavy caseload . It 's a tough job , Blair . He 's thoughtful and he 's considerate -- two qualities that I love very much about him .」

Bo:「Daniel , do you really have a problem with the way I do my job or are you just the mouthpiece for Adam Chandler these days ?」
Daniel:「Well , is he wrong ? This is your family , Bo . Your nephew has legal custody of a child that 's the biological son of J.R. Chandler . How can you not let that affect your judgment ?」
Bo:「You know , you may not have noticed this , but the name Buchanan -- that 's a big name in this town . But I have never had a problem drawing the line between my duties as police commissioner and my loyalties to my family .」


Daniel:「I 'm just wondering where that line is drawn , that 's all .」
Bo:「It is exactly where it needs to be .」

Kevin:「It is amazing how much they know at this age , is n't it ? I used to come home late at night from a business meeting or just , you know , a trip or something and Ace would recognize my voice . He really would . He 'd start kicking his feet and stomping . I 'd pick him up , throw him up , and then we 'd roll around on the floor and play and just have a good old time . My wife used to tease me . She used to say , you know , " I 'm not sure who the baby is here . "」
Kelly:「They were quite a team , you two guys . Hey .」

John:「She took off .」
Evangeline:「John , the only reason I told her to talk to you is because there are some things you need to know .」
John:「So tell me .」
Evangeline:「I ca n't .」
John:「Why ?」
Evangeline:「Because I do n't want to be in the middle of this . And because if Natalie wants you to know , she should tell you herself .」

Kevin:「Well , then let 's do it . Come on , let 's get Ace back . Let 's be a family again .」
Kelly:「That family was a lie , Kevin . Ace was a lie . And every minute we had with him was a minute stolen from his birth mother . And as for you wanting me back -- I think that 's just a manipulation . You want me to tell you where Ace is .」
Kevin:「That 's what you think ?」
Kelly:「I think you 'd do just about anything to get him back , and I 'm not going to let that happen .」

Daniel:「Oh , come on . You want to start a war here ? What , the Chandlers against the Buchanans ?」
Bo:「No , what I want is to just do my job .」

Blair Waldorf:「Margaret had planned this . She planned it from the get - go . She got a room at the Palace Hotel . I bet she went to Todd 's room and pulled a gun on him , the same one that she pulled on Dorian and me . I just do n't understand why Todd would -- oh , my God , Nora . What if we 're too late ? What if she did something to Todd ?」
Officer:「Ms. Buchanan ?」

Natalie:「See , that 's -- that 's what I 've been trying to tell you . I ca n't help him if I 'm afraid of him , and you keep trying to turn me against him .」
John:「That 's not what this is , Natalie . This is not about me investigating Cris . It 's about keeping you safe .」
Natalie:「Yeah , I 'm sure Evangeline loves it when you talk like that .」
John:「Evangeline knows you 're a priority right now . I 've never kept that a secret from you or her .」

Kevin:「No , it was n't .」
Kelly:「We loved each other once . We trusted each other . We made a mess of that . Maybe Ace was the only good thing that happened between us .」
Kevin:「Then how can you just let him go like this ? Do n't you come across his toys or wake up in the middle of the night thinking you hear him crying in his room ?」
Kelly:「Of course I do .」
Kevin:「Then how are you living with this ? Please tell me , because it 's killing me .」
Kelly:「I know that Ace is with his mother . I know that she loves him , and I also know what it 's like to lose a child , Kevin . I ca n't bear the thought of putting another woman through that .」
Kevin:「Well , I lost a child , too , Kel , and no one told me about it , did they ? Look , all I know is that my wife came home and she handed me my son and I fell in love with him . The minute that I laid my eyes on him , I fell in love with him , and now he 's gone .」

Kevin:「I still have legal custody , Kelly .」

Bo:「We are making it very easy on him . He 's not here right now . You know , we agreed to meet with the principal after hours to save him from the embarrassment .」
Nora:「Okay , all right .」
Bo:「Come on , Nora . Look , we 're going to have to be on the same page about --」
Principal Dickinson:「Hi , hi . I 'm so sorry I 'm late . I had a curriculum meeting that ran over . Uh , Commissioner , yes . Ms. Hanen .」
Nora:「Hi .」
Principal Dickinson:「What can I do for you ?」
Bo:「We found this in our son 's backpack . He bought it here at school .」
Principal Dickinson:「In the school ? Are you sure ?」
Nora:「Well , that 's what he told us .」
Principal Dickinson:「Did he tell you who sold him the drugs ?」
Bo:「No .」
Principal Dickinson:「So he could be lying about where he got it .」


Bo:「He 's telling the truth . Someone is dealing drugs here at your school , and I want to know what you 're going to do about it .」

Matthew:「Look , you do n't need to give me the third degree . My dad already covered that .」
Cole:「I was n't going there , but okay .」
Matthew:「The whole " just say no to drugs " speech .」
Cole:「Hey , listen , man . I 'm the last guy to do that , trust me . I just do n't want to see you screw up , you know ?」
Matthew:「I wo n't . Look , promise not to tell anyone if I tell you something ? I never even tried pot , or anything else . I just bought that joint so Becca and her friends would n't think I was a loser .」
Cole:「Why would they think that ?」
Matthew:「Dude , my dad is the police commissioner , and my mom 's the D.A.」
Cole:「So what ? You know , some people would actually think that 's cool . I 'm not helping here , am I ?」
Matthew:「Nice try .」

Schuyler:「What do you want with me ?」
Antonio:「Well , we were looking over some of Manning 's phone records and we noticed that there were several phone calls between him and your mother .」
Schuyler:「Well , that does n't sound like a completely outrageous coincidence . She was Starr 's doctor .」
Antonio:「Well , yeah , yeah , that 's true , except that Manning and his daughter were estranged . So there 's really no reason for him to have any communication with her doctor .」
Schuyler:「Well maybe , you know , maybe it was just his only way of finding out how she was .」
Antonio:「Or maybe he was conspiring with the doctor to steal the baby .」
Schuyler:「Okay , you know what ? My mother would never do that .」
Antonio:「Starr Manning 's baby dies , and you mother commits suicide shortly after .」
Schuyler:「Yeah , because she felt guilty .」
Antonio:「I think there 's more to it than that .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Starr:「My dad tried to steal my baby . I mean , that 's a little unforgivable .」
Langston:「And now that you 've accused him of that he 's all lawyered up and is saying you 're a liar .」


Starr:「I know . And I still feel real bad because I do n't want him to hate me .」
Langston:「He could just be working you , Starr .」
Starr:「I ca n't do it , Langston , I ca n't hate him . And the worst part about all this is that I ca n't even talk to Cole about it .」
Langston:「Why not ? Did something happen between you two ?」
Starr:「You 're not going to believe it .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Blair Waldorf:「I did n't get a restraining against you to punish you , Todd , or to be mean to you . I did it because I thought it was in the best interest for our children and I still think that .」
Todd:「Well , you seemed very happy that I did n't succeed in what I was trying to do when I jumped off that roof . And then later on you told me that if I had died , and especially in that way that it would have destroyed our kids . Is n't that why you saved me ? Because you wanted me to be able to live for my kids , and how am I going to do that if I ca n't see them ?」

Markko:「There you are . Hey , Starr . Drinks ?」


Langston:「Sure .」
Starr:「Yeah .」
Lola:「I 'll help carry .」
Langston:「I thought you and Cole were friends now .」
Starr:「Mm -- me , too . Look , after we had the baby I thought that we could get through anything . But apparently he does n't think so .」
Langston:「Okay , what am I missing here ?」
Starr:「Nothing .」
Langston:「Starr , come on .」
Starr:「Cole was high at school today .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]

Principal Dickinson:「Believe me , Commissioner , we 'll find out if someone is dealing drugs , and when we do you 'll be the first to know .」
Nora:「Well , thank you very much , Ms. Dickinson , for your time . Appreciate it .」

Nora:「[ Sighing ] yeah .」
Principal Dickinson:「But I hope that Matthew has learned a few lessons from this .」
Bo:「So do I.」

Matthew:「Where are you going ?」

Langston:「Are you sure Cole was high ?」
Starr:「I caught him with pills .」
Langston:「What kind of pills ?」
Starr:「Painkillers .」
Langston:「What did you do ?」
Starr:「I told him to get rid of them .」
Langston:「Did he ?」
Starr:「I hope so . Cole just was n't Cole anymore . He completely freaked out when he saw me hugging Mr. J.」
Langston:「Hold up . You were hugging our super hot science teacher ?」
Starr:「Only because he 's Dr. Joplin 's son .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]


Antonio:「Look , I 'm not here to place blame on your mother . I love my mother also . I know what it 's like to want to defend her . It 's just that Manning , he has a way of persuading people to do his bidding .」
Schuyler:「What are you saying , he bribed her ?」
Antonio:「It 's a possibility .」
Schuyler:「No . No , it 's not . My mom 's -- she was n't exactly a good candidate for that kind of thing . She had too much integrity and she did n't exactly need a pay raise .」
Antonio:「Okay , it 's not money .
 Could it be there was maybe something in your mother 's life that Manning could hold over her ?」
Schuyler:「Because I was pretty messed up .」
Starr:「What , like on drugs or something ?」
Schuyler:「Yeah , on drugs or something .
 Are you trying to tell me that Todd Manning could have blackmailed my mother ?」
Antonio:「That 's what I 'm asking .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Téa:「Here to question Dr. Joplin 's son ? Do n't bother . Antonio 's all over it .」
Bo:「Oh , I would n't expect anything less .」
Téa:「Hi , Bo .」
Bo:「Hi . I 'm going to go by your place , check on Matthew . Okay ? Do n't worry , I 'll be good .」
Téa:「Not here on Todd 's case , huh ? What , are you taking a night class , Nora ?」
Nora:「You seem a little edgy , Téa . Is that because the police got to Schuyler Joplin before you had a chance to tamper with his statement ?」
Téa:「Oh , I do n't have to resort to such tactics . You have nothing to prove these allegations against Todd . Starr 's testimony alone wo n't cut it .」
Nora:「No , but Janet Ketring 's testimony may back her up .」
Téa:「Yeah , good luck with that .」
Nora:「Thank you . Thank you very much . We 'll find her . And I bet she 's got a whopping story to tell .」

Janet:「Renee , you 're letting me stay at your guest house . You can call me whatever you want . Are you sure it 's safe for me to be up here at this house ?」
Renee:「Everyone 's out for the evening . You 're keeping me company .」
Janet:「But if the police find me here , or worse , if Todd finds me here --」
Renee:「Lee , you told me that you were helping Todd take care of Marty Saybrooke . How much did you know about his plans for kidnapping his daughter 's child ?」


Todd:「Now you understand ? You have to be there when she has the baby , so you can deliver it right to me .」
Renee:「I think you owe me that , Lee . What kind of role did you play in Todd 's plans ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Blair Waldorf:「After everything you 've done to your children , I just did n't want them to live with the fact that their father committed suicide .」
Todd:「I see . So it had nothing to do with them losing me as a father . It was just about putting the right spin on it .」
Blair Waldorf:「No , Todd . You have put them through hell . You 've managed to drive a permanent wedge between you and Starr . Jack has nightmares about seeing you in jail . And I bet Sam , he probably would n't even recognize you . Well , Todd , here 's the deal . As long as I feel that you could hurt , manipulate , or even kidnap one of your children , I 'm not going to allow you to see them . I 'm not going to allow you to see them .」
Todd:「Hey , Blair , please . Please . Please . Please , they 're all I have left .」
Blair Waldorf:「Todd , come on .」


Todd:「Blair , please , you have no idea how hard it is for me to be here , or what it took . I mean , I 'm violating my bail right now . Call the cops and you can have them haul me in . I just -- I need contact from people who might love me . I mean , I only have two relationships in my life that I have n't destroyed yet -- my sons . If you want me to beg you , I 'll beg you . Please . Call Shaun , that 's fine . Call him in and he can watch me , keep an eye on me . I just , I need to see them . I have to see them .」
Blair Waldorf:「I 'll go get them .」

Janet:「Renee , this whole thing has become such a big mess . I just do n't want to get you more involved than you already are .」
Renee:「Lee , look , whatever you did for Todd , is n't it better to go to the police ? At least -- at the very least , they can protect you .」
Janet:「They will arrest me , and then Todd will know where I am , and he will kill me .」
Bo:「Matthew . Matthew . Hi , Renee .」
Renee:「Hi .」


Bo:「Is Matthew in there ?」

Todd:「Make it quick , I 'm in the middle of something .」
Téa:「I did n't get to question Joplin 's son . Antonio beat me to it . Do you pray , Todd ?」
Todd:「Why ?」
Téa:「If Schuyler Joplin knows anything about his mother being part of your plan to steal Starr 's baby , you 'll need all the help you can get .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Antonio:「Blackmail is a breeze for Manning , okay ? He has an army of P.I.s on retainer . He has the resources of his rag of a newspaper . So he can dig up dirt on even the cleanest person . So think . Think -- is there anything , anything in your mother 's life that he could use against her ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Téa:「Think -- did Joplin ever indicate that her son knew what you were doing to his mother ?」
Todd:「No , she did n't . I told you that .」
Téa:「Because if he has any idea that you knew he was stealing drugs from the hospital , he would figure out that you were blackmailing his mother with that information , and then we are screwed , Todd .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]


Schuyler:「Look , there is nothing -- nothing from her past that could even be used against her . And she would never compromise her work .」
Antonio:「Okay . We 'll still need access to her personal files , appointment books , diaries , things like that .」
Schuyler:「No , no . No , I 'm not going to let you drag my mother 's name through the mud . She 's not even here to defend herself .」
Antonio:「Why would she need a defense ? Are you afraid we 're going to find something ?」

Lola:「Téa took me to lunch and she said I could talk to her whenever I wanted . Vanessa went a little loco when I told her that .」
Markko:「Well , I 'm not a big fan of your father 's , but I 'm a good listener .」
Lola:「When I was little , he was good . He used to make up stories about a little girl named Lola . Sometimes she was an angel , and sometimes she was a brat , depending on how I behaved that day . He knew me really well .」
Markko:「That 's how Starr feels about her dad . And she 's still going to testify against him .」
Lola:「I feel sorry for her . It was the hardest thing I ever had to do .」


Markko:「If your dad was so great , why would he kill your mother ?」
Lola:「I think the band is starting pretty soon . Thanks for listening .」

Cole:「How are you doing ?」
Starr:「I saw my dad last night . It 's going to be hard to have to testify against him .」
Cole:「You know , you probably wo n't be the only one . Nora is working really hard on the case .」
Starr:「I know . And I know he 'll probably go to prison for a long time .」
Cole:「Are you wishing you had n't said something ?」

Bo:「Why ? No , go on . You can tell me . You can tell me if he 's holding something over your head .」
Natalie:「I came because of what happened to Mrs. Vega .」
Bo:「Oh , yeah . That was terrible . But I do n't want you to worry . All right , I called the hospital , and Carlotta 's out of trouble .」
Mitch:「The hospital ? Oh . What is Cristian 's poor mother doing in the hospital ?」
Bo:「That 's a nice try , Laurence . I know what you did , and I know why Natalie 's really here .」

Hank:「You and Troy are doing well .」
Nora:「What ? Yeah , fine .」
Hank:「And ?」
Nora:「And ?」
Hank:「You 're getting married soon .」
Nora:「Yes , I am . A little bumpy start .」
Hank:「Yeah , I remember that .」
Nora:「Yeah ? A little secretive , was n't he ? Well , but then I learned , you know , just give him some space . And if he 's in a bad mood , it probably has more to do with work or a patient , not anything to do with me . So I leave him alone . Hmm ?」
Hank:「Now , that 's a first .」
Nora:「Oh , shut up .」
Hank:「So , is it working ?」
Nora:「Yes , fine . It 's fine .」
Hank:「Good . Then go home .」
Nora:「What ?」
Hank:「And do n't tell him that you 're waiting around for the results on that cake .」
Nora:「Okay . Something 's wrong , Hank . There is something wrong , and it has a lot to do with Lindsay , I think .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Troy:「I 'm not going to bed with you , Lindsay . Not tonight .」
Lindsay:「Why ? Because Nora called ? You do n't have to worry . All you were doing was shutting me up . That 's what you want to do , is n't it ?」
Troy:「I 'm sure I 'm not the only one .」
Lindsay:「What does that mean ?」
Troy:「It means I could n't get R.J. to tell the authorities about your part in the prison break , so obviously you must have something on him , too .」


Lindsay:「If I were you , I would be more concerned about what he has on you . He knows that you 're having an affair with me .」
Troy:「Why would you tell R.J. anything ?」
Lindsay:「I guess I was excited about being with you again .」
Troy:「You were excited , Lindsay ? Excited ? About what ? About forcing me to have sex with you ?」
Lindsay:「Excited about making love with you .」
Troy:「But we do n't make love . We have sex .」
Lindsay:「Oh . Okay . But someday I do think that you 'll change your mind about that .」
Troy:「No , Lindsay , there is n't going to be a someday because eventually I 'm going to find something out about you -- something that I can use . And then this is all going to be over .」
Lindsay:「You do n't want this to be over .」
Troy:「Sure , I do .」
Lindsay:「No , you do n't . I know you . You want everybody to think that you 're good . And you are on the outside . But underneath this mask --」
Troy:「No , Lindsay , there is no mask here .」
Lindsay:「Underneath this mask is a man that does n't care about doing the right thing or saying the right thing . All that matters to you is getting what you want .」
Troy:「That 's you . That 's not me .」
Lindsay:「And the only time that you feel like yourself is when you 're with me . And you like it because it feels so good to be back with me , does n't it ?
 Tell me something , Troy . Why is it that you 're sleeping with me ?」
Troy:「Because I love Nora .」
Lindsay:「Well , some people would say you have a mighty funny way of showing it .」
Troy:「I will do whatever I have to do to keep Nora in my life .」
Lindsay:「Even sleep with a bad girl like me .」
Troy:「I think she 's worth it .」
Lindsay:「You think she 's worth lying to ?」
Troy:「Look , Lindsay , I 've done some bad things , okay ? Joanna is dead because of me . Nora takes all that away .」
Lindsay:「And you think that Nora , if she found out about Joanna , would leave you because she ca n't accept that .」
Troy:「A lot of people could n't .」
Lindsay:「The good guys could n't . But I got news for you -- there are n't any good guys and bad guys . The problem are people who think that there are . The biggest problem are people who think they 're good , and that 's the kind of person Nora is .」
Troy:「You do n't know anything about Nora .」


Lindsay:「I know she does n't love you . She does n't even know you . I know you . I know you because you 're exactly like me . I 'll do anything to get what I want . And when I get it , I do n't like to let it go . And I have you , do n't I ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Hank:「You have everything now . You 've got a great career , two really great children . You 've got a lot of friends , and there is a man you are just crazy about who you 're about to marry .」
Nora:「Gee , when you put it that way , it does sound like I have everything .」
Hank:「Yeah , right . And the bottom line is , there is no room for Lindsay .」
Nora:「I know that .」
Hank:「Not unless you give it to her .」
Nora:「I understand that . I really do . Oh , do you want to hear the latest ?」
Hank:「What 's that ?」
Nora:「Lindsay announced to me that she has a new boyfriend -- your brother R.J.」

R.J.:「Hmm , nice .」
Liz:「Thanks . This is the first time we 've ever been in an actual bedroom together .」
R.J.:「Yeah .」
Liz:「Mm - hmm .」
R.J.:「I know .」
Liz:「I used to try and think of ways to sneak you up into my bedroom without my parents finding out .」
R.J.:「Hmm ?」
Liz:「Wait , just skip that .」
R.J.:「Well , I remember watching your house , waiting for you to sneak out to me .」
Liz:「Mm - hmm . And then I 'd listen for your car to pull up , and I 'd race out , and I 'd jump into the seat next to you .」
R.J.:「I could barely keep my mind on driving .」
Liz:「I wonder why .」
R.J.:「I could hardly wait to get out of town .」
Liz:「Seemed like it took forever . And then all of a sudden there would be our spot in that field underneath the pine trees . And then you 'd spread out your blankets and you 'd get out your thermos . It was like we were the only two people in the world .」
R.J.:「Sitting next to you -- I do n't know . I do n't know if I ever thought I 'd feel like that again . But I do .」
Liz:「What ?」
R.J.:「That 's -- that 's Steven 's wedding band , is n't it ?」
Liz:「Yeah . It is .」
R.J.:「Elizabeth , are you sure you 're ready for this ?」

Shawna:「Oh , I know who you are . Everybody does .」
Viki:「Good . And you are ?」
Shawna:「Oh , I 'm Shawna Quinlan . I 'm an intern for " The Sun . " Actually , I thought we were going to be alone tonight so we could do some work on the paper .」
Todd:「Oh , would you like a glass of wine ?」
Shawna:「I 'd love some .
 Hmm . I love good wine .」
Viki:「Really ?」
Shawna:「Oh , yeah . It tastes like -- sex .」
Todd:「Okay . You need to go now .」
Shawna:「What ?」

Sam:「Are you all right ?」
Blair Waldorf:「What ? I 'm fine .」
Sam:「No , you 're not .」
Blair Waldorf:「Yes --」
Sam:「Blair , Blair , I know you . Something 's wrong .」
Blair Waldorf:「What ?」


Sam:「Are you sure you want to be here with me ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Of course I do , Sam .」
Sam:「Blair --」
Blair Waldorf:「Look , I know that I 'm -- I know that I 'm acting strange , and I 'm sorry .」
Sam:「You do n't have to be .」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , I am , because I know that you went to all this trouble , and -- you 're right . It 's just -- I 'm worried . I am . I 'm worried , you know , that somebody might be following us , might be watching us , and that I 'm going to have to stay at my ex - husband 's house , whom I hate , and that my daughter 's trying to get us together constantly , and it 's just -- it all just -- it makes me crazy .」
Sam:「Blair , do n't you think we 've come too far to lie to each other ?」
Blair Waldorf:「I 'm sorry , Sam .」
Sam:「What is it ?」
Blair Waldorf:「I -- I wanted to be with you . I did . But I ca n't . No matter how much -- how many times I tell myself it 's because of those mobsters , it 's --」


Sam:「It 's not because of the mobsters . It 's because of Todd .」

Mitch:「Tell me , Commissioner , what exactly did I do ?」
Bo:「Well , you made sure that you took advantage of the fact that I was out of town .」
Mitch:「Well , I hate to disappoint you , but I do n't keep track of your comings and goings .」
Bo:「Well , it really does n't matter because I sure keep track of yours . See , someway , you managed to get Allison Perkins moved to the same part of the jail that Cristian Vega was being kept in . And in someway , you got someone to bring her a toxic substance . And then she put that on a piece of cake that Carlotta Vega brought to her son .」
Mitch:「Really ? I had a deranged prisoner poison some cake ? I assume you have proof of this .」
Bo:「I 've got people working on it .」
Mitch:「Ooh , that sounds conclusive .」
Bo:「That poison was meant for Cristian , and you did that because you 're trying to get to Natalie .」
Mitch:「Why would I have to get to Natalie ? She 's right here .」
Bo:「And you 're here right now because you 're trying to get Laurence to back off Cristian , are n't you ? Natalie , listen to me . It 's over . Allison Perkins has been moved to Statesville Prison .」
Mitch:「What ?」
Bo:「She 's gone , Laurence . So he ca n't get to you anymore , and I 'm getting you out of here right now .」
Natalie:「It 's okay , Uncle Bo .」
Bo:「Yeah , come on , Natalie .」
Natalie:「Look , I just -- I 'm going to gather some of my things . I 'll meet you back at Llanfair . It 's --」
Bo:「No , I 'm getting you out of here now .」
Mitch:「I ca n't imagine how either of you could possibly believe that I would have anything to do with that poor , delusional woman poisoning a piece of cake . It does n't make any sense . Now , if I wanted to harm Cristian -- which I do n't -- why would I have him thrown in jail ? I mean , I 'm the one whose life has been threatened here .」
Bo:「Yeah , yeah , I know , and you 're scared of him .」
Mitch:「Natalie , much as I hate to see you go , why do n't you put your uncle 's mind at ease and let him escort you back to Llanfair . Otherwise , I 'm afraid he may send out a posse to rescue you .」
Bo:「Natalie , Cristian 's safe . I made sure of that , okay ? And now I 'm going to make sure that you 're safe , too . Let 's go .
 Natalie ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]


Blair Waldorf:「You were right . I ca n't be with you because of Todd . And I want to blame the people that are following me , but I ca n't -- not if I 'm going to be honest .」
Sam:「Yeah . I knew that you cared for Todd on some level --」
Blair Waldorf:「You did ?」
Sam:「Yeah . Well , he 's the father of your children , and there will always be that connection . I understand that . I just did n't think that it would get in our way tonight .」
Blair Waldorf:「But it did .」
Sam:「Tonight you seemed different .」
Blair Waldorf:「You know me , Sam , so well . Something happened .」
Sam:「What ? What happened ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Todd and I kissed .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Todd:「That was great , and we should do this again real soon .」
Shawna:「You really want me to go ?」
Todd:「Yeah , yeah , I do . That 's what I said .」
Shawna:「You are so weird .」
Todd:「I know , I know . I get that all the time .
 Um -- I 'll -- I 'll see you at work tomorrow , right ?」


Viki:「You 're trying to make Blair jealous ?」
Todd:「Hmm ? What ?」
Viki:「Since when do you invite interns -- or anyone , for that matter -- over for drinks ?」
Todd:「Oh , I like Shawna .」
Viki:「You do n't like anyone .」
Todd:「Well , then why would I -- why would I invite her over here ?」
Viki:「Who the hell do you think you 're talking to ?」
Todd:「Is that a trick question ?」
Viki:「I do n't know why you ca n't just admit that you want Blair back . Why ca n't you just admit that you love her ?」
Todd:「I do .」
Viki:「Well , my goodness . Now , I 'll bet that did n't hurt a bit , did it ?」
Todd:「It kind of did . It kind of hurt my voice a little .」
Viki:「It 's really nice . You want her back . You love her .」
Todd:「All right , Viki , you do n't got to keep saying it .」
Viki:「Only one little problem . I do n't know if you 've considered this , but Blair might actually be seeing Sam because she has feelings for him .」
Todd:「No , she does n't .」
Viki:「Well , she might .」
Todd:「Then why would she kiss me ?」
Viki:「Did she ?」
Todd:「Yes , she did .」
Viki:「Oh .」
Todd:「I mean , she slapped me right after , but she did kiss me .」
Viki:「If Blair loves you , you 're not going to get her back by making her jealous , playing some sort of silly game with an intern .」
Todd:「How do you know ?」
Viki:「Because it 's stupid and it 's not real . I do n't know why you ca n't just tell her that you love her or show her . I do n't know . No , you ca n't . It 's too scary .」
Todd:「Why would that be scary ?」
Viki:「Because you might tell her and you might still not get her back .」
narration:[ Phone rings ]
Viki:「Hang on . No , that 's me . Hello . Yeah , Bo , hi . What ? Is Natalie all right ? Oh , my God , yeah . I 'm on my way , yeah . I 'm sorry . I have to go .」
Todd:「All right , so go .」
Viki:「You okay ?」
Todd:「Yeah , I 'm fine . I 'm not the one with a mob hit on my head and , you know , being driven around by some horny lawyer to God knows where .」
Viki:「I know it 's really hard waiting for someone to come back .」
Todd:「No , it 's -- you know what ? I should straighten up .」


Viki:「I -- I just want you to be happy . That 's all I 've ever wanted for you .」
Todd:「Really ? You know what I really want is world peace . So maybe you can arrange that .」
Viki:「I do n't have a lot of my family left around me , as you might have noticed . I do n't want to lose the only brother I have .」
Todd:「Good . That 's enough . I 'll probably start to wrinkle .」
Viki:「Thank you .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Blair Waldorf:「It was just a kiss , Sam .」
Sam:「You do n't owe me an explanation .」
Blair Waldorf:「Yes . Yes , I do . I wish it could be different . You know , maybe -- maybe it could be different if we could just be together like normal people , you know , without people watching us . We have to hide out . You know , if Todd were n't around all the time --」
Sam:「You 're never going to get away from Todd .」
Blair Waldorf:「I will . I will . I mean , all of this will be over , Sam . Please . If you just -- if you would just wait --」


Sam:「I would wait if I knew we 'd end up together , Blair , but that 's not going to happen .」
Blair Waldorf:「Sam , you do n't know that .」
Sam:「Yes , I do . He hurt you , Blair . He hurt you in the deepest way imaginable , and you still feel something for him .」
Blair Waldorf:「It was just a little kiss .」
Sam:「Yeah -- it 's not -- not with you and Todd . No , it could never be just a kiss . It 's -- I mean , Todd is a fact of your life , like -- like your birthday -- like your birthday and like the color of your eyes . You ca n't change that . I know you want to and I know you want to try to love me instead of Todd .」
Blair Waldorf:「I can . I can . I can love you , Sam .」
Sam:「No --」
Blair Waldorf:「I can .」
Sam:「Not if you -- not if you have to try . That 's not really love .」
Blair Waldorf:「No .」
Sam:「I need you to love me without really trying , the way I could love you .」

Hank:「The way R.J. looks at Liz , no way he 's hooking up with Lindsay .」
Nora:「I understand that . But then why would they say they were seeing each other if they were n't ?」
Hank:「Well , Nora , maybe they 're up to something . It would n't be the first time .」
Nora:「Well , that 's true . I mean , he did want to keep it a big secret , this relationship with Lindsay , and he did n't treat her very well for someone who 's seeing her .」
Hank:「Yeah , well , who could ?」
Nora:「Lindsay has been keeping her distance from him since the escape .」
