Vanessa[to Chuck]: What's that? Your stripper money?
VanessaYou can read about it all day long, but you have to walk the city to know it.
Sarah: Okay, look, anything is better than getting lost of the train every day.
VanessaSubway. Click those heels, you're not in Portland anymore.
Sarah: Seriously, you and Dan are so sweet to adopt me. And I'd be a mess without you guys. Well, more of a mess then I already am. [laughs]
VanessaThe Pacifier played for like a year.
And they said Vin Diesel couldn't do comedy.
VanessaYou're sick!
You're welcome!
VanessaSo what will it be, Dan? Cheerios and Chaucer, or an illegal party at your prep school pool with your high society girlfriend and her nasty cohorts?
Dad. Vanessa and I are going out.
If you didn't pay your rent with it, what did you do with Chuck's money?
VanessaI may have created a medical grant for teens with genital herpes. In his name.
Next time your sister's band is in town, I want front row seats.
Vanessa[laughs] You don't strike me as a lesbian punk fan.
You know, I'm almost offended by how much you underestimate me, Miss Abrams.
VanessaYou like punk?
Oh, I didn't hear you... You said punk? Because you had me at lesbian.
Vanessa[laughs] Right. Didn't see that coming.
So...
VanessaSo...
I guess this is goodnight, then?
VanessaI don't live here, you know.
No, I know.
VanessaI'm just grabbing my laptop.
Oh. [Nate looks as if he really wants to kiss Vanessa]
VanessaDo you want to come inside?
Umm... [looks inside shop]
[awkwardness between Vanessa and Nate]
VanessaGod, this does feel like that doorstep moment.
And what moment would that be?
[Nate looks at Vanessa and kisses her]
Sarah: Are there any new developments?
Uh, no, no, more of the same. Jenny and her boyfriend are inseparable and Jenny is more insufferable.
VanessaGive her a break, Asher's her first love.
It's infatuation, it's not love.
Sarah: Yeah, but to a fifteen-year-old girl, there isn't a difference.
[Dan realises Sarah and Vanessa have a point]
VanessaAnd how long did it take you, Dan?
Uh, um, that's a little different, Vanessa. It took me... [Vanessa interrupts]
VanessaUh, one glance at a ninth grade birthday party.
Yes, but two years to obsess over.
I need to talk to you. Your father's leaving.
He just stepped out to call my mom.
VanessaEverything okay? [Chuck says "no" at the same time that Nate says "yes"]
He had his car brought around.
He probably left his phone in it.
Right before the ceremony I saw him with a guy doing a deal. Looked like drugs.
My father is clean, Chuck. What are you spying on him?
Look, I know you hate me. I was in love with Blair and I'm sorry. We do not have time to argue about this.
I can't believe Nate Archibald is a gigolo.
VanessaYou can't tell anyone!
Who? Who would I tell? Except everyone I've ever met. [pauses] I won't.
The Ultimate Private Gentleman's club. I walked through this door and it was...
Vanessathe Chuck Bass' version of Narnia?
[Dan learns that he won't be attending Yale due to financial aid problems. He hears this from Vanessa first before hearing it from his father.]
VanessaDo you blame your dad?
No. I blame the financial aid office, the recession, and a certain imbecile former president.
Vanessa[On Dan's wallet] What is this? Oh, it's where you keep your... hundred dollar bills.
Do you know how hard it is to break one of those things? I don't know why they even make them.
I have proof that Serena Van der Woodsen is having an affair with her professor.
Miss Sharp, I am with friends. This is the one night of the year I can try to put everything else out of my mind and enjoy myself.
[Enters with Nate, Serena and Collin] Dean Reuther, may I please have a moment with you?
Of course you're involved with this Miss Waldorf, I told you and Miss Van der Woodsen to stay off my radar.
Dean Reuther I am not lying.
What's going on?
Nothing that concerns you professor, or concerns anyone for the moment.
Actually it does concern Collin, he was the one in the photos with Serena.
Is that why you resigned your position today?
While it's true that I resigned because of my involvement with a student, it's nobody's business who that student is. All that matters is that the responsibility is mine and I took it, by leaving my post.
That's somewhat admirable, Collin, and while usually it's the professor in the professor student relationship that takes propriety, if that student is under the suspicion of trading sex for grades in the past, I think we might need to examine the situation a little more closely.
VanessaLet me get my camera.
[Sticks out the flashdrive] Here, look as close as you like.
[Takes the flashdrive] Let me help you with that. [Drops it in her glass of champagne] Whoops. You didn't wanna look at those photos anyway because it wasn't Serena in them. It was me.
Blair, you don't have to do this.
Why would I jeopardize my college career by lying? [To the Dean] So, go ahead, fire Collin. Oh wait, he already quit. So let's just go in and enjoy some jeté. Allegro.
[Comes up from behind Blair] If I could say something. I for one can fully corroborate Miss Waldorf's story. She was indeed having an affair with Professor Forrester. I know this because I keep tabs on everyone Blair sees and talks to, due to my insatiable jealousy. Though she did state something to the effect that he didn't quite satisfy her like I used to.
It's true.
Don't you see? They're all protecting each other.
VanessaThis is what they always do.
[To Vanessa] I'm sorry. Who are you? [To Juliet] Miss Sharp, the reality is that with no proof I can't tell who is telling the truth.
Yeah, well there was proof! Until Blair drowned it.
Juliet, I don't like tattletales much more than I like young women who use their sexuality to further their academic careers. So if you will please excuse me, I'm going to try my best to to enjoy this performance. Which, hopefully, is a little more graceful than the one I've just seen. Good evening.
