Spencer:「Ok ? Here . There you go . Can I ask you a question ?」
Starr:「Yeah .」
Spencer:「I know you 're a very smart young lady and very proficient on the Internet . Have you been following your father 's trial online ?」
Starr:「Yeah , but I do n't care what people say , my dad is innocent and ms . Williamson is going to prove that in court . I just want to tell my dad something about my mom .」
Spencer:「Oh , what about her ?」
Starr:「Last night when she was tucking Jack in , she never even talked about my dad . And then when I asked her how court went , she completely changed the subject . If I did n't know any better , I 'd think she 's given up on dad .」

Hugh:「What happened when you saw the defendant strangling Ms. Cochran ?」
Kevin:「I pulled him off of her . That 's when I saw she was pregnant .」
Hugh:「And did Mr. Manning show any remorse for what he 'd done ?」
Kevin:「Remorse ? No , not at all .」
Evangeline:「Objection , your honor . That 's nothing but conjecture .」
Judge:「Sustained .」
Hugh:「What do you think would 've happened had you not come out of your room ?」
Kevin:「I have no doubt he would 've killed her .」
Evangeline:「Move to strike , your honor .」
Judge:「So moved .」
Hugh:「No further questions .」
Evangeline:「Mr. Buchanan , you 've testified that you saw Todd Manning with his hands around Margaret Cochran 's throat , is that right ?」
Kevin:「Yes .」
Evangeline:「Was Margaret Cochran armed at the time ?」
Kevin:「Uh -- she may have had a gun .」
Evangeline:「Margaret Cochran had a gun , and you did n't think that was important to share with the court ?」
Hugh:「Objection . Argumentative .」
Judge:「Point taken , Ms. Williamson .」
Evangeline:「And since Margaret Cochran was the one with the gun , is n't it entirely possible that Todd Manning was fighting for his life ? A simple yes or no will suffice .」
Kevin:「Yes , I suppose it was self - defense .」
Evangeline:「And when you went to the police to report the incident , um -- I seem to have misplaced your statement . Perhaps you could recount the highlights for the court .」
Kevin:「There is no statement .」
Evangeline:「Why not ?」
Kevin:「Because I did n't go to the police .」
Evangeline:「No , you did n't . In fact , there 's no record other than your word that this ever happened at all . So tell me , Mr. Buchanan , since you so conspicuously omit crucial parts of the story , how do we know you did n't make the whole thing up ?」


Hugh:「Objection .」
Judge:「You made your bed , counselor .」
Evangeline:「That 's all right , your honor . No further questions .」
Judge:「Care to redirect , Mr. Hughes ?」
Hugh:「Yes , your honor . You were at the defendant 's home on September 23 , 2005 , is that correct ?」
Kevin:「Yes .」
Hugh:「Could you describe his behavior at that time ?」
Kevin:「Yes , he was -- he was very calm , weirdly calm . He was different . He -- he said that he had taken care of Margaret , that she had left town for good .」
Hugh:「And in that moment , did you think back to prying the defendant 's hands from Margaret Cochran 's throat ?」
Kevin:「Of course .」
Hugh:「And when you heard that Ms. Cochran had , in fact , been strangled to death , did you think back to that moment again ?」
Kevin:「Yes .」
Hugh:「And did you think that Todd Manning had finally finished what he started back at that motel ?」
Evangeline:「Objection .」
Hugh:「Withdrawn . No further questions . The commonwealth rests .」
Judge:「You may step down . We 'll recess for two hours . When we resume , we 'll hear from the defense . Court 's adjourned .」
Bailiff:「All rise .」
Kevin:「Blair , wait .」
Todd:「Blair , stop . Blair --」

Jen:「That is so unfair .」
Marcie:「I know . You know what that 's like .」
Jen:「I did n't kill Paul , but they made me go through the lineup and everything , and now they 've arrested Rex , and he did n't do anything , either . Guess your baggage just follows along with you . The good thing is , is that Michael does n't have any baggage , he 's a good guy , and he 's going to get through this .」
Marcie:「I hope so .」

Blair Waldorf:「Mrs. Bigelow does n't have family , Dorian .」
Dorian:「I know that , but by the time he realizes it , we will be long gone .」
Blair Waldorf:「Thank you .」

Jessica:「From the cables at the gallery ?」
Antonio:「Could be . He 's still working on that .」
Jessica:「Well , what were they doing at Llanfair ?」
Antonio:「Well , that 's a good question . Maybe your stalker 's trying to scare you .」
Jessica:「Well , he 's doing a really good job .」
Antonio:「You know what ? Sooner or later he 's going to slip up , he 's going to leave a clue . Maybe he already has .」
Jessica:「So I just sit around and wait for something else to happen ?」
Antonio:「No . You help me catch them .」

Adriana:「Look , why do n't you leave Duke alone , Mr. Buchanan ?」
Asa:「Please , do n't you talk . You are Dorian Lord 's daughter . You are here to spy on the Buchanans . That 's who you are .」
Kevin:「Hey , this is n't helping .」
Adriana:「Really , that 's funny , you know , because my mother thought that you Buchanans invited me here to pump me for information . Looks like you were both wrong .」
Asa:「You hear how this gal talks to me ?」
Kevin:「Okay , just calm down .」

Margaret:「No . Why is this so much to ask ? You have everything that you want , and I just want this one thing , this one night so that we can make this baby for me . Why ?」
Todd:「Because it 's wrong .」
Margaret:「Wrong ? Why is it wrong ?」
Todd:「All right . I 've done some terrible things in my life . But there are a couple of things that I think I did right -- my children . And when I look at them , I see the best in me . I see the best in their mother . And that 's what it 's all about . When you bring a soul into this world , they have to represent something better than you are .」
Margaret:「Oh , but that 's what I want , too .」

Jessica:「I really want to do this . I really want to stop feeling like a victim , but I do n't know where to start .」
Antonio:「Well , by writing a series of articles .」
Jessica:「With Todd gone , I do n't know if they would let back at " The Sun . "」
Antonio:「Talk to your brother . Propose the articles to " The Banner . " Tell the people what it 's like to be a victim , and then while you 're at it , you tell the person who 's doing this to you that you 're calling them out . Once they 're out in the open , it 's my turn .」
Jessica:「You 've really thought a lot about this .」
Antonio:「Yeah . Yeah . Well , I got to admit I 've been a little selfish . The sooner this is over , the sooner we can figure things out . Jess , I know you do n't want to talk about us . But that 's my goal , you and me , no matter how long it takes . In the meantime , talk to your brother , tell him what 's going on with you , okay ?」

Kevin:「Okay , let 's just settle down , please . Duke , Grandpa , can we keep the character assassination to a minimum , please ?」
Asa:「I say what I mean .」
Kevin:「Well , that 's the problem .」
Duke:「Look , Dad , I know you think you 're doing what 's best for Ace . Okay , I just -- I can not justify taking a child away from his real family .」
Asa:「You , my friend , have no idea what a real family is .」
Adriana:「How could he ? Duke is Kevin 's only biological son , and he completely ignores him . That 's the only sense of family he 's ever had .」
Duke:「Adriana , do n't . Do n't .」
Adriana:「So why would n't it bother him that all this attention was suddenly being paid to a child that is n't even Kevin 's ?」
Asa:「I have a doctor 's appointment . I do n't have to listen to this swamp trash anymore .」

Jessica:「Yes , I know . I would think that the person doing this is trying to send me a message or trying to frighten me .」
Kevin:「Yeah , I would think so . It 's scaring the hell out of me . Well , the question is , who would do that ?」
Jessica:「Well -- and it 's just a possibility , okay ? We think that it 's somehow connected to Tico 's murder . I saw who did it , but I was so out of it that I ca n't remember .」
Kevin:「Wow . Okay , well , let 's sit down . Yeah , I 'll try to help you any way I can .」
Jessica:「Thank you .」
Kevin:「So ?」
Jessica:「I -- I need to -- I need to start work at " The Banner " again .」
Kevin:「Well , since the election , I 'm not working there . I can make the call , but I do n't quite understand how working at " The Banner " is going to help you .」
Jessica:「I want to write a series of articles about what 's happening to me .」
Kevin:「Are you sure you want to do that , especially since this person that 's doing all this crazy stuff could read the articles ?」
Jessica:「That 's the point . I want to flush him out .」
Kevin:「Jess , it 's too dangerous . I 'm not okay with that .」
Jessica:「Kevin , I 'm going to do this . I need to do this . And Antonio , who you know is super - protective of me , is completely behind me on it . So I 'll go to another publication if I have to , but I do n't want to .」
Kevin:「I 'm not going to make you go to another publication . Okay .」
Jessica:「Thank you .」
Kevin:「Okay , on one condition . You keep me posted on everything that 's going on .」
Jessica:「100 % .」
Kevin:「All right .」

Duke:「No , hey , Adriana , I 'm sorry . I did n't mean it . I mean , heck , I ca n't deny that there 's probably a little bit of truth to what you said . I mean , for months now I 've been watching my father fight tooth and nail for some child that 's not even his . When my mom left and took me away , he sure did n't send out a posse then .」
Adriana:「Your dad was around our age , right ?」
Duke:「Yeah .」
Adriana:「Well , maybe he thought he was doing the right thing , you know ? I mean , when I thought I might be pregnant by River , I -- I did n't know what to do . My biggest fear was if I have this baby , what kind of parent could I possibly be ? Maybe your father felt the same way .」
Duke:「Maybe .」
Adriana:「I mean , you know I 'm not your father 's biggest fan . But whatever he felt before , he is trying now .」


Duke:「You know , it 's funny . I overheard him defending me to Asa . You know , at first , it surprised me , but then I just figured , you know , he either saw me or he heard me and he was just doing it to soften me up .」
Adriana:「Or maybe he was doing it because he loves you .」

Asa:「You think you scare me ?」
Dorian:「Need I remind you of that tape from the custody hearing last summer , the one where Kevin is talking to the high - priced call girl he sometimes used to frequent ?」
Asa:「That was a load of bull , and you know it .」
Dorian:「You know , it 's funny the way bull turns into currency when the media gets hold of it , and the Buchanans would lose little Ace to the Chandlers . Oh . Kevin 's political career would die the death it deserves .」
Asa:「You want a war , Dorian ? A war you got .」
Blair Waldorf:「No , no , no , no , Asa , we do n't want a war . We do n't want --」
Dorian:「Speak for yourself , Blair !」


Blair Waldorf:「Dorian , please ! Look , this is n't about Ace . This is n't about Kevin . This is just about me finding Todd .」

Antonio:「Right .」
Jessica:「You know , you should really take your own advice .」
Antonio:「Meaning ?」
Jessica:「Meaning you 're already investigating this case . Why not do it as a cop ?」
Antonio:「Oh , Jess , no . I do n't think so .」
Jessica:「Why not ?」
Antonio:「Oh , it 's just way too personal . I got to figure out who 's messing with all our lives , and that may mean not always playing by the rules .」

Kevin:「Yeah , well , you know , you stood up to him , defended your girl . Not a lot of guys are willing to do that .」
Duke:「It almost sounds like you 're proud of me .」
Kevin:「Yeah , almost . I 'm kidding . I am . Look , you 've grown into a young man with integrity and principles , and any father would be proud .」


Duke:「Dad , if this is about getting information on Ace --」
Kevin:「Look , it 's not about Ace , all right ? It 's about you and me . And even though I have n't always acted like it , I care about you , and I always will , no matter what .」

Woman:「The problem is she 's only seeing family members .」
Tess:「Oh . Well , we 're like sisters .」
Woman:「And she 's not very good at surprises .」

Adriana:「It 's got to do with how much they pay for their advertising , I think .」
Dorian:「Well , why do n't they call the advertising department ?」
Adriana:「Well , I think because maybe the executive editor handles all the V.I.P. clients . It 's just a guess .」
Dorian:「Oh . Oh , ok . Ahem . Hello , Mr. Aronson . He hung up .」
Adriana:「Get to the other call before they hang up , too .」

Blair Waldorf:「It 's over . I 've lost Todd forever .I took Jack and Starr home . But I just could n't stop hearing Todd 's voice in my head , all the things he said , before I left -- calling my name , begging me . So I took a walk . I thought , you know , I would just walk around town , but I just kept hearing his voice , so I decided to come back here . I thought maybe I could just figure something out .」

Todd:「Hmm , they just said I lied . They never said I killed anybody .」
Rex:「Then why 'd you have to lie ? You see , you have a problem here . Elaborate cover - ups kind of imply there 's something to cover - up .」
Todd:「No , my problem is I 'm stuck in this cell -- aah -- with idiots like you .」
Rex:「You see , that 's what makes me think you 're innocent . A guilty man would at least cover up what a flaming jerk he is .」
Todd:「I have a real problem being locked up like this , I really do . It makes me -- you know , it makes me frustrated , and I should n't take it out on the few people who are trying to help me .」

Todd:「Rex , Rex , no , Rex . Come . Rex , uh , you got to -- you got to believe me . I do n't want you to give up on me , Rex . I did n't do it .」

David:「Dorian , I 'm the one who did this layout , months ago , and it was n't even very good at the time . You know what you ought to do -- you want to take a look at her . She 's got a head for this kind of business . You also might want to consider being a little bit more like her .」
Dorian:「Oh , really ? And may I ask what you mean by that ?」
David:「You might want to give up playing lady executive and try being lady executive . You also may want to consider hiring someone who knows a little bit more about this than you do and listen to them .」
Adriana:「Mother , hire him and then do what he tells you to do .」
Dorian:「No , absolutely not . We do n't need him . We 've got everything under control .」

Just let me say what I have to say , give me three minutes while this woman and everybody else in the building watches us like hawks . And then when I 'm done , you can kick me out , you can call the cops , whatever you want .」
Woman:「Why should I believe anything you say ?」
Tess:「Because I 'll tell you something about myself first . I 'm in love with Nash Brennan .」
Woman:「It 's all right , Debbie . I 'll take it from here . Could you please turn off the security cameras ?」


Tess:「Wow . I did n't think she was going to buy that .」
Woman:「My father 's money carries a lot of weight , even here .」
Tess:「Do you really think that they shut these cameras off ?」
Woman:「Why is that so important to you ?」
Tess:「Well , I do n't think that either one of us wants this conversation recorded .」
Woman:「And -- and this is about Nash ?」
Tess:「Yeah .」
Woman:「But it 's secret , private ?」
Tess:「Look , Claudia , I -- I know that --」
Claudia:「Yes , you do know . You seem to know everything about me , and I know nothing about you , not even your name .」
Tess:「Ok , ok . Sorry . My name 's Tess .」
Claudia:「Just Tess ? So I 'm supposed to spill my guts in private to a woman with one name and no taste ?」
Tess:「Huh . Well , at least I do n't spend my days making potholders in occupational therapy . God , I 'm sorry about that . I did n't mean to get angry . Sorry .」
Claudia:「Yes , you did . Everyone should express their anger , so how about this -- why do n't you trot off and tell Nash that if he wants the details of my glamorous , exciting -- if he wants to gloat over what he did to me --」
Tess:「Listen , listen , listen , listen . He does n't even know I 'm here , ok ? He 'd kill me if he knew .」

Nash:「Really ? Does her family know that she 's gone missing again ?」
Natalie:「What ?」
Nash:「Yeah . Well , she 's not at Viki 's , she 's not anywhere where I 've found her before , so I figured , you know what ? Since this is the closest joint to the railway station , I 'd come by here and see if anybody had seen her .」
Natalie:「Well , do you think she 's all right ?」
Nash:「I 'm looking for her . I know Tess can take care of herself and she would n't do anything to endanger the baby , but I would feel a heck of a lot better if I knew where she was .」
Cristian:「While she 's still Tess ?」
Nash:「Excuse me ?」


Cristian:「Well , it seems to me you have a real interest in keeping Tess in charge because if Jessica came back , she 'd go straight to my brother .」

Blair Waldorf:「As a wife and a working mom , I always have lists of things that I need to do , but I never knew the top of my list would be " how am I going to tell my children that their father is a murderer ? " I do n't know how I can do that ever . I do n't know how I can make their lives right , Spencer .」
Spencer:「Well , Margaret did some terrible things , and she was a threat to you and your children . Starr experienced that firsthand .」
Blair Waldorf:「She was pregnant with Todd 's baby -- Jack and Starr 's half brother . How can this be happening to us ?」
Margaret:「See ? Look what it says -- " Peggy , you win . " Oh , it 's just like Todd , so clever and heartfelt .」
Spencer:「And desperate .」
Margaret:「That 's good . It means that he cares .」
Spencer:「It 's not good , Margaret . It 's a trap .」


Margaret:「Well , I do n't care if it 's a trap . I know how to take care of myself .」
Spencer:「So , in other words , as long as you 're getting his attention , you do n't mind that it 's a setup ?」
Margaret:「Look , you do n't know anything about this . Something happened between us in that cabin . And now we are connected forever .」
Spencer:「I 'm not so sure Todd would view that as being such a good thing .」
Margaret:「I have his child , his namesake , and that 's why he 's so desperate to see me .
 And that will give us the time that we need together -- well , that he needs to realize that we were destined to be together . And he 'll leave that Blair and those brats and he 'll start his new life with me and Todd Jr.」
Spencer:「What if you 're wrong ?」
Margaret:「Those people without faith are always laughing at those of us who have it . I am not wrong about this . Todd would never do anything to harm me as long as I have his child .」
Spencer:「But you do . You still have something to worry about , Peggy , because Todd Jr. Means nothing to me .」
Blair Waldorf:「What am I going to do ? What am I going to do ?I -- I feel like a fool .」


Spencer:「Why ? Because you had a weak moment for about 30 seconds over something that would 've destroyed most people ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Because I put my faith in the wrong man -- destroyed my life and my children 's lives , and as usual I 'm crying on another man 's shoulder .」

Rex:「Desperate times , desperate measures , huh ?」
Todd:「God , you know , I was in the courtroom today , and I called out her name . It was like I did n't even exist .」
Rex:「Todd , listen , I know this is n't going to be easy , and I 'm sure it 's not going to be fast , but I have a club to run . I ca n't just drop everything . I do n't know if I can turn anything up before the case goes to the jury .」
Todd:「Well , see , I -- it 's not about the jury . It 's not about the verdict . This is about Blair .」
Rex:「I get it .」
Todd:「Ok , great . Thank you .」
Rex:「You 're welcome .」
Todd:「Oh . Huh , hey , you want to -- do you want to hear something weird ? I never thought -- I never thought until now that I would lose everything . I never believed it , but I believe now .」

Nash:「I do n't know . Um -- the amnio , for one thing .」
Natalie:「What are you talking about ?」
Nash:「The amniocentesis . They forced her to have an amniocentesis to prove who the father of the baby is .」
Natalie:「How did you know that ?」
Nash:「That that 's what set her off ? Because somebody snuck into the hospital and destroyed the sample .」
Cristian:「Jessica would never do something like that .」
Nash:「Yeah , right .」
Natalie:「Huh -- yeah , right because Jessica is civilized .」
Nash:「Tess is scared , jess feels safe . You see , Tess thinks that everybody in this town is against her , and she 's right . I kept telling her not to worry , that I 'm the father of the baby , but Tess was terrified .」

Natalie:「Yeah , I mean , Tess could just decide to run and leave Jess in some whacked - out condition that could --」
Cristian:「Natalie -- Natalie , it 's not the guy 's fault .」
Natalie:「Well , we have to find her .」
Cristian:「All right , if she was taking off for good , she 'd tell you about it , right ?」
Nash:「Yeah , I would think .」
Cristian:「And maybe she did n't tell you where she was going because she knew she 'd be back .」
Natalie:「Or maybe she did n't want you to know where she is . I mean , she does that sometimes , especially when she 's got a story .」
Nash:「A story ? What do you mean ?」
Cristian:「Jessica 's a reporter .」
Natalie:「A really good one .」
Cristian:「Look , maybe Tess learned a thing or two from Jessica . Is there anything that Tess might think she needs to investigate ?」
Nash:「Oh , God .」

Claudia:「I did n't care about the money . I just wanted him to love me . I would have given him everything I had if -- I guess -- I guess it just was too much for my father .」
Tess:「He should n't have taken care of it that way , Claudia .」


Claudia:「Do you think I wanted this to happen ? I still love Nash . Why do you think I kept writing those checks ? I knew that that was the only reason he was still with me , but I did n't care . I -- I could n't stop loving him . When I found out that he was n't coming back -- well , there was n't enough pills or liquor in the world to make that pain go away . And it was n't -- it was n't even that he did n't love me . It was just that he was gone .」
Tess:「Oh . Ok , I get it .」
Claudia:「No , you do n't !」
Tess:「Ok , I do n't . But you have to know , Claudia , that Nash -- he 's not coming back . So could you just tell your father to leave him alone ? Look , ok , Nash is n't even going to press charges . He does n't even know that I 'm here . He did n't even want to tell me about it , but I needed to help , ok ? I owe him that much after what I put him through .」
Claudia:「What are you talking about ?」
Tess:「Well , most people would think that I should be in a place like this .」
Claudia:「I 'm an addict . What are you ?」
Tess:「Hmm . You would n't believe me if I told you .」
Claudia:「Try me .」

David:「Blair never listens to a word I say .」
Spencer:「You want what 's best for Blair and the children , do n't you ?」
David:「Yeah , and that 's not you .」
Spencer:「Just do it , David . Go to her and tell her exactly what I told you to say .」
Dorian:「So who was that ? Your unemployment advisor or your parole officer ?」
David:「That 's ridiculous . Does n't even make sense . There 's no such thing as an unemployment advisor .」
Dorian:「How would I know ?」
Adriana:「Not a very nice way to talk to the man that just saved our butts , mom .」
David:「Good luck , toots . You 're on your own .」
Dorian:「Do n't say it . Do n't even go there . Just do n't .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Spencer:「Just tell me what to do , Blair . I 'll do anything you need .」
Blair Waldorf:「Help me let go of Todd .」


Dorian:「And believe me , I do not appreciate your aligning yourself with a man who humiliated me -- no , no , no , disgraced me in front of this --」
Adriana:「I 'm trying to work here .」
Dorian:「Entire town . And I wonder just who in the world was he talking to about Blair ? I mean , could it have been that miserable brother of his ? The only person on the face of the planet --」
narration:[ Knock on door ]
Dorian:「Who is worth less than David is ?」
Adriana:「Oh , come in !」
Dorian:「Oh . Oh , Rex . Oh , goodness gracious , the day just keeps getting better and better .」
Rex:「I would have left this with the secretary , but she 's cleaning out her desk .」
Dorian:「What ?」
Rex:「Well , she said she 's quitting because of the new editor .」
Dorian:「You 're making that up .」
Rex:「I do n't want to make any trouble . I 'm just dropping off a copy of U.V. 's ad for the February issue .」
Dorian:「Goodness sakes , what does it say on those doors , advertising department ?」
Adriana:「I 'll make sure it gets to the right person .」
Rex:「I 'm sorry . It 's late .」
Adriana:「It 's ok , Rex . Mom , can you run this down to Ellen on the fifth floor ?」
Dorian:「Honey , you 're talking to me as if I were some kind of underling .」
Adriana:「Go drive someone else crazy , please .」
Rex:「Adriana , my P.R. guy was late with the copy , so I said I 'd drop it off . I swear I did n't know you 'd be here .」
Adriana:「Are you kidding me ? If we were still speaking , I would beg you to get me out of here .」

Blair Waldorf:「You know , Spencer , since you 've come to town , you 've really come through for me , for my kids . Even for Todd .」


Spencer:「It 's my job .」
Blair Waldorf:「No . You 've been there when no one else has for me . You 've actually made me feel better . And that is not part of your job description , doctor .」
Spencer:「Well , there is n't much that I would n't do for a very close friend . And I consider you to be a very close friend .」
Blair Waldorf:「I have n't been one to you .」
Spencer:「Sure you have .」
Blair Waldorf:「No , I have not . Dorian and Todd have said horrible things about you , and I -- it made me suspicious .」
Spencer:「I know . All I could really do was hope , you know , that you would eventually realize that I had hidden agenda .」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , I know you 're not trying to take Todd 's place . It 's just Todd has been such a huge , huge part of my life , and now that 's over . And I -- I just -- I feel alone .」
Spencer:「Well , you 're not . And you can just keep telling yourself that .」


Blair Waldorf:「Well , if you can forgive me for being a bad friend -- look , I know that I 'm going to need a good friend to help me through the rest of this .」
Spencer:「I can do that , and I would consider it a privilege to be that person . Just use me any way you need to .」
David:「Oh . You 're here .」
Spencer:「Yes , little brother , I 'm here .」
David:「I know you 're not in the habit of doing me any favors , but , Spencer , I -- I need to speak to Blair alone .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Tess:「I do n't want to talk about me . I just want to make sure that you 're all right .」
Claudia:「Why is it that just when you start to feel better , just when you think you 're ready to move on , the past comes back to kick you in the stomach ?」
Tess:「I really did n't mean to hurt you .」
Claudia:「No , you just wanted to protect Nash .」
Tess:「I figured that you knew about your father . It was a real crummy way to find out , I know . I 'm sorry , did I say something funny ?」


Claudia:「You really think I bought that whole " I want to protect Nash " routine ?」
Tess:「Why else would I be here ?」
Claudia:「To see for yourself what kind of woman Nash leaves . You 're another pretty , lost rich girl , and you 're desperate to prove to yourself that you 're more than his next mark .」
Tess:「Are you trying to tick me off ?」
Claudia:「I know you , princess . I am you . So take a good , long look .」
Tess:「Ok -- um -- I understand that Nash kind of blew you out of the water , and I know what it feels like to be used and out of control and --」
Claudia:「You feel my pain ? Let 's be best friends . We have so much in common .」
Tess:「Ok , great . This is n't going anywhere because I ca n't say the right thing .」
Claudia:「Mission accomplished ? Check Claudia off the list of threats to your happiness ?」
Tess:「Look , we may have a lot of things in common , but there 's one thing we do n't have in common . I might be a bitch sometimes , and I have totally screwed up . But the one thing that I do n't do -- I do n't feel sorry for myself .」
Claudia:「Bully for you .」
Tess:「You ' had bad things happen to you . You 're not the only one . Nash and I have been through hell and back . And we do n't whine and cry and moan about it and have big freak outs . No , we 're just trying to plan a good life for our kid .」
Claudia:「Your kid ?」
Tess:「I got to go .」
Claudia:「You 're pregnant , are n't you ? You 're having his baby , are n't you ? Are n't you ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Rex:「I mean this in the nicest possible way . Your mother could drive Gandhi to violence . I mean it . I mean , you 're trying to hold all this together , and she 's yammering away at you .」
Adriana:「No . I mean , yes , but , you know , I -- I have this built - in excuse for anything that happens . Nothing is my fault . My mother is to blame for everything .」
Rex:「I can buy that .」
Adriana:「Well , I 'm not just sick of her , I 'm sick of me , I 'm sick of acting like Ms. Perfect , totally rational and in control , and all I am is a big , fat fake .」
Rex:「You 're talking to an expert who 's in the field of fakery . You do n't even come close .」


Adriana:「You know , I see the way people around here look at my mother . They hate her . And it scares me to death . So I treat her like dirt , and I pretend like I know exactly what I 'm doing . And then I start thinking , " this is it . This is when they 're going to find me out . "」
Rex:「Let me tell you something the nuns didn'T. Keeping going when you 're scared , getting the job done when you feel like you 're going to heave -- that 's when you know you 're the real deal .」
Adriana:「You 're just trying to get on my good side .」
Rex:「Does n't mean I 'm not also telling you the truth .」
Adriana:「You and me , Rex -- it 's not going to happen .」
Rex:「Ok . Does n't stop me from believing in you . More than you even know .」

Blair Waldorf:「I do n't want Spencer to leave , David .」
David:「Fine , I guess I 'll say this in front of an audience because it needs to be said . I realize that I have n't always been the paragon of virtue .」


Blair Waldorf:「Are you talking about the little expose that you wrote about Todd in the last issue of " Craze ? "」
David:「I admit , we 've had our ups and downs . But if you think about it , I 've basically always been on your side , Blair .」
Blair Waldorf:「I guess .」
David:「So , as your friend , I 'm going to tell you the truth .」
Spencer:「Oh , good Lord , David . No , I -- I --」
David:「Listen -- I know how important protecting your family is , and despite all of the horrible things and the lies that he has told you , you have this blind faith in Todd .」
Spencer:「David , you know , I 'm not really sure --」
David:「Shut it . Blair , you need to know who Todd Manning really is . He told you that your baby was dead . He sold your other child .」
Blair Waldorf:「To you , David . Do you think that escaped me ?」
David:「If he 's capable of doing that to you , to your children , to his own children , he 's capable of killing someone .」
Spencer:「All right , David , I think that 's enough , really .」


Blair Waldorf:「You know what , Spencer ? It 's all right . I do n't need you to tell me to trust Todd or that he 's lying or that he 's guilty . I came to that on my own , finally .」
David:「I 'm sorry .」
Blair Waldorf:「And if you think that I want to talk to you about what an idiot I 've been , you 're wrong because you 're the idiot .」
David:「You 've mentioned that once or twice in the past .」
Bailiff:「Ma'am , just wanted to let you know that court will be reconvening shortly .」
Blair Waldorf:「Thank you .」
Spencer:「Come on , Blair , I 'll take you home .」
Blair Waldorf:「You know what ? I 'm going to stay .」
Spencer:「But I thought you were going to --」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , I changed my mind . I want to be here for Todd 's defense . I want the truth to settle in so that I can start rebuilding my children 's lives .」
Spencer:「Well done , David , well done . A slightly wooden performance , though , but , hey , you had such a gullible audience .」


David:「Why did you make me do that ? You heard her herself . She 's already there .」
Spencer:「Just confirms what I already suspected -- that Todd 's history , but --」
David:「Are you telling me that you -- you put her through all of that just for confirmation ?」
Spencer:「Well , that and the fact that I just plain old like making you do stuff .」
David:「It 's ironic that a guy who looks just like Superman can act so much like Lex Luthor . Blair 's going to wake up one day , and she 's going to realize that you 're more sinister than Todd Manning ever was .」
Spencer:「Never happen , David . Never .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Claudia:「No . No . I was supposed to have his baby . He promised me . Do you know how much I hate you ? You have my life . You took what was mine .」
Tess:「I do n't care if you hate me .」
Claudia:「Shut up . I do n't want you to feel sorry for me .」
Tess:「Look , I know that it looks like I have it all , but the truth is , Nash and I might never be able to raise this child together .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Cristian:「Well , I hope you 're right about where she is , and I hope she 's ok .」
Nash:「Yeah , thanks . Thanks for --」
Cristian:「Not thinking you 're a jerk ?」
Nash:「Not judging . It 's a rare quality in this ' burb .」
Natalie:「So , was that performance for my sake ?」
Cristian:「It was n't a performance . I think the guy was being honest .」
Natalie:「A Vega taking sides with someone other than flesh and blood ? Right .」
Cristian:「I was n't taking sides . I was trying to help him find Tess -- or Jess . It 's obvious the guy 's all torn up about her . I know what that feels like .」

Nash:「Yeah , what time is your next train to New York City , please ?」
narration:[NEXT_ON]
Claudia:「Is n't this why you came , to find things out ?」
Antonio:「Tess destroyed the only sample that would prove who the father of the baby is .」
Blair Waldorf:「I have to see this through to the bitter end .」


Jared:「Those are for the actual board members .」
Nash:「Oh . You 're missing a comma in the first sentence . You might want to fix that .」
Jared:「I think the content speaks for itself .」
Nash:「Yes , it 's slick and pretty and completely void of substance , just like you . When the Buchanans finally prove what an absolute fraud you are and kick you out on your buttocks , you are going to wish that you 'd held on to your piece of my little vineyard because you 're going to have nothing else left .」
Jessica:「Well ?」
Viki:「Well , the pilot said we 're landing in an hour .」
Natalie:「That 's great . You 've called Kevin and Joey and Bree , taken a nap , powdered your nose . There 's nothing left to do but talk to us -- is there ?」
Viki:「What , do you think that I 'm avoiding talking to you ? No .」
Natalie:「Oh , no -- you 're an open book . We emailed , we talked to you on the phone , we talked when you were in Llanview , and somehow you still failed to mention that you were in Paris , Texas , instead of Paris , France , this whole time .」
Jessica:「And we do n't even know what you were doing there in the first place .」
Natalie:「Oh , and there 's this mysterious boyfriend .」
Viki:「Who ?」
Natalie:「Oh -- do n't deny it . Noelle outed you . So , why have n't we met him ?」
Jessica:「Yeah . What 's wrong with this guy ?」

Charlie:「Viki was held hostage ?」
Dorian:「Made headlines -- national coverage .」
Charlie:「Really ? National news and I never even heard about it -- is she all right ?」
Dorian:「Oh , yes . Our Viki always ends up all right .」

Dorian:「I have known Viki for a long time , way before she was " your " Viki . You see , she 's one of my oldest and dearest friends .」

Blair Waldorf:「Okay , you know what ? I 'm just having a nightmare .」
Margaret:「Oh , no , honey . This nightmare is your life .
 Come to Mama , Teej . Oh .」
Blair Waldorf:「Okay , I 've just had way too much coffee , you know ? I 'm having -- I 'm having a -- just a nightmare because Margaret , she -- she 's dead .」
Margaret:「Oh , well , I 've been dead before -- resurrected , too .」
Blair Waldorf:「Get out !」
Margaret:「No -- ca n't . See , you 're the one who called me here , Blair . You need me .」
Blair Waldorf:「I --」
Margaret:「And T.J. Needs me , too , because I love him and I want him , whereas you do n't .」
