I need to know how you and Jenny would feel if I went out tonight, for a drink...with a woman.
Well, I guess I'd feel like you shouldn't wear that shirt or there will not be a second date.
Thanks. Now I guess I just have to worry about Jenny then.
[Jenny comes in]
Dad. Where'd you get that shirt?
What's wrong with this shirt?
Nothing, as long as you don't plan to wear it out of the house.
Worse. He plans on wearing on a date.
For drinks, if that's okay.
Hey! What are you doing here?
I need to know why you love me.
I really want to trust you when you say those words, Dan, so maybe if I knew why, I'd stop being so scared of hearing them and afraid to say them.
Okay. Well, if you want to talk about why...
It has to do with my mom and her many marriages.
There. that's why. Because I actually like it when you interrupt me, which is often, by the way. I love you because you make no apologies about being exactly who you are... Beautiful, smart, sexy as hell.
Now you're embarrassing me.
That's another reason. You're totally unaware of the effects you have on me. You're also completely unaware that you laugh like a 4 year old. [Serena laughs] Just like that. And I love you because you can be with someone like me and still be best friends with someone like Blair.
Yeah, well, I tried to be.
I know you do, and that's not easy, but you never give up on her. That is how amazing you are.
Well, you're amazing, too, for being able to say all of those things, you just are. [They kiss] And I love you... But I have to go.
What? what--what is it this time?
One of the many reasons you love me. [Blows Dan a kiss]
Is there a reason you're here?
Stay. Don't let these things make you run away like it did me. Like it does everybody in our world.
Every thing's horrible. My whole life is falling apart.
So, rebuild it. You're a Waldorf, remember? People don't tell you who you are, you tell them. Stay and fight. I'll fight with you.
I'm so embarrassed. I'm so...
So, what? Start over. It can be done, I should know. We can get through this together.
Did you tell Dan I slept with Chuck?
You did You told your low rent boyfriend and he told his social climbing sister who wears my hand-me-downs who blabbed to Nate!
No, Blair - Dan and Jenny aren't like that. They would never do that.
You don't get it, do you? The rules are different for the Serena van der Woodsens of the world. People expect you to be party and be wild, sleep with whoever you want, run away, come back...You shot your reputation to hell a long time ago. It doesn't matter what you do but I'm a Waldorf!
Well since you and your reputation obviously don't need me and my low rent tastes, you and the Waldorf name can weather this storm alone.
Did you sleep with her huh? You son of a bitch, I ought to kill you!
Can we talk about this without your hands around my neck?
What did you do? Did you get want you want like you did with all those other girls?
Yes, Nathaniel! I took what Blair kept throwing at you and what you kept throwing back!
Oh, so somehow you screwing Blair for sport is my fault?
It wasn't for sport. She needed someone and I was there.
Oh, so you cared about her?
For how long? A week? An hour?
Look, I am sorry, alright! Look, I know how long you and I have been best friends, okay!
No it's not okay, Chuck. From now on you stay away from me. [Walks off]
You hear what I said? You stay the hell away from me, Chuck!
