Gossip Girl (2007–2012): Season 3, Episode 13 - The Hurt Locket - full transcript

Nate and Serena decide to explore the boundaries of their friendship. Blair suspects that Chuck is having problems forgetting about the woman he saw at his father's grave. Jenny agrees to ...

My father turned his first
profit by the time he was 22.

I hope to do it by the time i'm
21. And how can you be so sure?

Because you believe in me. You were
the one that needed to kiss her again,

To realize for yourself that
your feelings for her are real.

Vanessa, i love you.

Oh, that's not really
the reaction i was hoping for.

It's not easy being queen.
Sounds like kind of a yawn.

Yes, compared to being
an international drug dealer.

A little bit of danger is what makes life worth
living. Two years ago at the masquerade ball,

I tried to tell you i
loved you. You loved me?

I hope i'm not interrupting. Tripp is
divorcing maureen. We're going away together.



It is a huge mistake. I love tripp,
and i'd do anything to make him happy.

Where'd you get that? The more relevant
question is what your stepfather will say

When he finds out that your mother is a cheating
whore. You left her alone in a wrecked car?!

You stay the hell away from her. You're becoming
a man in a way that your father never was.

Lily?
Charles.

His beloved wife
died giving birth to me.

"It was the best of times.

It was the worst of times."
Seems dickens knew something

About life
on the upper east side,

Where the only thing
you can count on

Is that time changes
everything.

Word has it s. Gave up politics
to focus on issues

Closer to her heart. I can't believe
nate's finally coming home tomorrow.



I feel the same way
about dorota's return.

I never should have agreed

To let her spend the holidays with
vanya. Did i tell you that he texts me

Every night before he goes
to sleep? It's so sweet.

Sexting is not sweet.

It's off-Limits
until you're in a relationship.

You haven't
even been on a date.

Well, you'll be happy to know
he asked me to go to a dinner

For the french ambassador tomorrow night. Oh,
well, chastity belts go very well with formal wear.

I'm serious, s. I'm all for you
trying this thing with nate,

But if you want it
to become real,

Then you're going to have to take it slow.
Okay, i-I promise i will. I have to go.

Damien dalgaard!

Hey!
Hey! Oh, my gosh!

How are ya? Good. I thought you
were gonna become a belgian prince

Or something
after boarding school.

My father took
the ambassador post. Wow.

You look even more fantastic
than you did in school.

Oh, that was not a very good
time for me. That's not true.

I seem to remember
some fun spanish classes.

Really? More like me crying
over conjugations

While you got straight a's
and won all the athletic awards.

You had the mr. Perfect thing down.
Well, i'm late to meet a friend.

So, uh, i'd love to catch up some
more. Yeah, great. Text me your number.

Okay.
Good to see you.

Yeah, you, too. Hey, are you going
to the french ambassador dinner

Tomorrow night?
I am.

Then i'll see you there.
See you there.

¶ ba ba ba-Ba-Ba ¶

¶ ba ba ¶

You know how torturous it is

For me to find shiny things that aren't
intended for me. It's just a worthless trinket

Some woman left by my father's grave.
And you aren't even the least bit curious

About someone who wears
your father around her neck?

One of his concubines had
his name tattooed on her ass.

I have more important things
to do than search

For another member of
the female bart bass fan club.

Like helping me achieve

The college experience
i so greatly deserve?

I assume you're referring
to my lunch

To discuss
parisian hotel possibilities

With henri duris.

Who my research
also tells me is

The rumored president
of table élitaire.

Just imagining my life
as a member

Of the most exclusive
secret society makes me tingle.

Well, while i find that
incredibly arousing,

You know i can't promise
anything but an introduction.

All i need to know is

That the most persuasive
and powerful man i've ever met

Is on my side.

¶ i say we're out
to blow the trumpet ¶

¶ to wake you all from bed ¶

¶ from bed ¶

¶ ba ba ba-Ba-Da-Ba-Da-Ba ¶

¶ ba ba ba-Ba ¶

So how was your mom's?

I'm sure your dad
called every day.

Well, he v-Chatted
for present opening.

You didn't want to go
to telluride with him, huh?

I can't say i blame you.

Those lincoln hawk guys can be kind of annoying.
Well, he was so excited when it came up.

I couldn't stand
for him to miss out.

Hi.

Welcome home.
Damien, hi.

Hey. Lily, you
remember damien, right?

Oh, yes. Yes. Hello.
Mrs. Humphrey, how are you?

And, uh, this is for you.

Thank you.
Mm.

Um, thank you, lily,
for helping me unpack,

But i think i'm good now.

Um, jenny?

Um, a word, please?

So your father and i
haven't really discussed

You having boys
alone in your room.

Maybe just keep
the door open?

Lily, if we wanted to have sex,
we'd just go to a hotel.

And seriously,
it's not like that with us.

Oh, then what is it like?

I mean, he seems happy
to see you.

Um, i'll open the door if anything
changes. Oh, and you wouldn't happen to know

When your father was
coming back?

Larissa accidentally lost
the itinerary.

I think he said today,
but just call him and ask.

So cookies. Let me guess.

I have a puzzle
that needs solving.

I know how much you humphreys
like games.

It's my work, all right. Do you
remember who you sold this one to?

The picture's right there-
Bart bass.

Do you know
who he bought it for?

Mr. Bass kept the recipients
of his purchases private.

But a woman did bring this one

To repair the hinge
about a month ago.

The woman-

Early 40s, brown hair,
brown eyes?

Look,
i would be very grateful

If you could share any other
information you may have.

I'm sorry.
Client confidentiality.

My father was
the original client.

Please, this is
all i have left of him.

Elizabeth fisher.

She paid in cash.

But she had it delivered.

Thank you.

With enough time, we all find
what we're looking for...

even if it was there all along.

Nate!

What are you doing here?

Hey.
Oh, my gosh.

You weren't supposed to be here
until tomorrow.

I know. My grandfather got sick
of watching me text you,

So he had the plane bring me home early.
Well, remind me to send him a gift.

Well, i should go.

I left the driver downstairs
waiting with the bags,

So i could surprise you, but tomorrow,
though, right? Yes, our first official date.

I've been thinking,
a- And i really think

That we should try
to take this slow.

Yeah. Yeah, i was thinking
the same thing.

Okay.

And when time slows,

And suddenly
every moment counts,

All you want is for this time
to last forever.

Hey.

What? I'm not that late. Oh,
no. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, man.

I was just hoping you were vanessa.
Oh, you invited vanessa here, too?

No, not exactly. But she does
spend a lot of time here.

I take it that means
you still haven't talked to her.

Or gotten a text or seen her.

It's my fault.
I moved too fast, you know?

I read, like,
five self-Help blogs

About how to turn friends
into lovers.

Yes, they use that word. I was
a little down at my mom's place.

Well, hey, man, i'm sorry. You know, they
say that you should take things more slowly

With a friend than you do
with someone you just met.

I'll-I'll send you the link.
You might want to read it

Before you start this thing
with serena.

Hey.

Oh.

Looks like my advice went
the way of the clog.

What are you talking about?

The clog?

An ugly wooden shoe

That tried to make a statement,
then disappeared-

Just like your resolve
to take things slow with nate.

I'm just gonna go with it. You
know, whatever happens, happens.

All right, well, knowing serena,
what'll probably happen is

She'll get swept up
in the romance of things,

And she's not gonna want to talk
about any of that stuff ever.

Really.
Nah, look, it's cool.

I've known serena
since i was a little kid.

And we've already... you know,
years ago. I know. Trust me.

Now that i'm with chuck,
i can see that nate and i

Were only perfect on paper.
But...

you and nate can finally be more
than just an affair to remember.

Which is why we didn't want
to wait for it to start.

And why you don't want to scare him off. Listen,
the point is i've dated serena for over a year.

And if you want to be able
to make things work,

You're gonna have to be able
to come up for air,

Which is really not her favorite thing to do.
You are the one thing nate has always wanted

And could never have.
It's like a diet.

After years of starvation,

You can't just let him
gorge on sundaes.

He'll panic and decide he hates
ice cream. Except i'm not ice cream,

And nate and i don't need
to play games.

Everyone needs to play games.

Look, you've already failed
to come out of the gate

With any restraint or control.
Now all you can do is

Introduce some competition, make him work for it.
Blair, that's the worst advice i've ever heard.

Mm-Hmm. Just wait till
he starts passing on dessert.

So the ambassador's daughter's
gonna be at this dinner?

Yeah, but her father's got her
under 24-Hour surveillance,

Which means her guards
will be on her at all times.

Well, i can meet her
in the ladies' room.

I bet they don't follow her
in there.

Or we could switch handbags. You-You need
to understand. This is a state dinner,

Which means there's security
everywhere.

All bags will be searched.

The problem is not getting
the package to violette,

It's getting the package in
in the first place.

I could wear it.

I can make this. Only in mine,
the paillettes won't be empty.

You put the pills...

in the jacket?

Yeah,
i wear it to the dinner,

Check it and then violette and i
switch coat check tags.

I take her coat...

and she'll leave with yours.

It's not bad.

Not bad?

Come on. It's brilliant!

Lily?
Oh, hello, daniel.

Hey. What-What you doing in brooklyn? Um,
i was hoping your father would be here.

He was supposed to be back
this morning.

I can't imagine he'd come here before
going to see you. Well, i just figured

Since he hadn't seen you
over the holidays...

you know how sentimental he is.

Yeah. Dad?

Well, you know what?

Maybe he decided to stay
and ski another day.

Uh, yeah, i don't-I don't think
that's what happened.

Well, i should go.
If you see him,

Tell him i stopped by.
Okay.

Vronsky, where are you?

Anna karenina texted you
an hour ago.

She wants to celebrate. Look, i'm
sorry, but anna will have to wait.

I'm about to walk into a
meeting. With monsieur duris?

Are you bringing him here to surprise me? As
it turns out, i wasn't able to attend the lunch.

Are you in the hospital?

Since i know
that you're alive,

There could be
no other possible reason

You would sacrifice my entire future.
Look, i'll get you your introduction, okay?

Monsieur duris
will be attending

The dinner for the french ambassador
tomorrow night. Oh, thank god.

You practically gave me
a heart attack.

Why didn't you mention this
earlier?

I just assumed you'd rather not
cross paths with carla bruni.

Well, in times of crisis,

Sacrifices must be made.

Why did you miss lunch?

I'm trying to meet someone
whose schedule is

Even more unpredictable
than mine.

I'll see you tonight.

I've been waiting here
for four hours.

Has elizabeth fisher
still not returned?

She did return, mr. Bass. Then
why did she not get my message

That i was waiting for
her in the bar? She did.

She checked out of the hotel
immediately afterwards.

Whoa! Hey, blair.

It's anna karenina. You never
read it. Don't worry about it.

I never do.

Come on, boy.

Rufus.

Hi.

What are you doing
standing out here?

Making a decision.

How are you doing?
Did you end up going away?

I just got back this morning.
And are you back for good?

That's what i'm deciding.

I came over to talk to lily,
but now i'm not sure.

I want to give her a chance
to explain.

But still, there's a part of me
that doesn't want to know.

Cup of coffee?

It's freezing out here.

Coffee actually sounds
really good.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Mm.

Hey.

Hey. I was just about
to call you.

Well,
now you don't have to.

Or we don't have
to talk at all.

Look, i, um,

I was just thinking that
maybe it might make sense

If i go to that dinner
tomorrow night alone.

I don't understand.
Did i do something wrong?

No. No, not at all. I just...

you know, we said we didn't want
to rush into things.

Yeah, but that was
before we saw each other.

I know. I know.

But i'm just trying
to stick to the plan here.

Okay, so the plan went
from having sex

On eleanor waldorf's floor
to not seeing each other?

Just because we lost track
for a minute there

Doesn't mean we should
just forget about it.

I mean, we already
saw each other today.

We can wait a couple more
days, right? You're right, nate.

Uh, the last thing i would want
to do is rush into something.

¶...that we sung ¶

No.

Serena, come on.



Hello?

Hey, damien.

Serena. Don't tell me you need
help with your spanish homework.

No, french this time.
Please tell me

You don't have a date
to the ambassador's dinner.

Are you asking me
if i want to go with you?

Of course i do.

Great. I'm staying
at the waldorfs',

So i'll text you the address.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Heure, hora, laat-

No matter what language
you say it in,

Looks like s.
Just started the clock

On a ticking time bomb.

I thought you'd be at school
by now.

I thought you lived

In the upper east side
with your wife. Dan.

Lily came by yesterday
looking for you.

Uh, what's-What's going on?

Lily and i had a fight.
It's complicated.

Israeli-Palestinian complicated
by the looks of it.

Is this-Is this why
you shipped jenny and me

Off to mom's for christmas?
This was your mother's year.

And it wasn't one of those
"parent trap" situations

That you and jenny
could swoop in on.

Lily and i need time to figure this
out. And, um, and you're doing that

By not telling her where you
are? It's not the best strategy,

But until i actually talk
to her, at least i can

Hold out hope that i'm wrong about what happened. So
you're not talking to her because you don't want to hear

What you think
she might tell you?

You know, i'm not willing
to explain myself, dan.

All right.

Fine. Fine. You can make
your own damn waffles.

Come on, dan.

Listen, you're-You're the one
who's always saying

To be honest
and talk about things,

So i really hope you're not
gonna let your marriage die

Because you're scared
to take your own advice.

¶ oh ¶

Ta-Da!

All the girls are gonna want
to wear pharmaceuticals.

It's perfect.

I'm impressed.

Thanks. I'm really excited
about tonight.

Yeah. Yeah.

Me, too.

Unfortunately, we're gonna have
to do our little dinner

Some other time.

What? I... thought
we were doing this together.

It's my plan.

Yeah.

I know.
And-And i thank you.

It's just that, uh,
anyone can check the jacket.

Uh...

i'm going with someone else-

Serena, actually.

We're old friends
from boarding school.

Serena's with nate now.

I don't know about that.

She's the one who called
and asked me, so...

well, you know she's changed
since boarding school,

And, uh, there's-There's no way
she's gonna go to a state dinner

Wearing a jacket
filled with pills.

I probably won't tell her
about that then.

Well, then maybe i will.

See, if you were to do that,

Then i would have to tell her
how you know, obviously.

So...

anyway,

Um,

Don't worry.
You'll still get your cut.

What's going on?

Why aren't you dressed?
Look, blair, i'm sorry.

But i won't be able to join you
for dîner ce soir.

Abandoning me in a fur hat
is one thing,

But you can't do this.
You already missed the lunch.

You know my dreams are dead

Without a proper introduction to monsieur
duris. Look, i left word with his people

That you'd be there, okay?

I'm sure you'll find a way to make an
impression. This is about her, isn't it?

The floozy
from your father's grave

You said you had no interest in finding. It appears
i may have spoken too quickly in that regard.

First you lie to me
about looking for her,

And now you're going
to sacrifice

My table élitaire charter to go
look for some random woman.

You obviously read the file,
so you know she's not random.

She knew
my mother's favorite flowers,

She had a picture of my father
in her jewelry and she knew me.

And clearly has no interest
in being found by you.

You've been looking for weeks,
and nothing.

One dinner with me won't make a difference.
I know you may find this hard to comprehend,

But some things are
more important

Than your social-Climbing
agenda.



¶ downtown jail ¶

¶ downtown jail ¶

His name's damien.

Oh, hey, jenny.

He's the son
of the belgian ambassador,

And i'm pretty sure they
hooked up at boarding school.

I'm guessing
serena didn't tell you

She was coming with him, huh? No.
No, she didn't. Why are you here?

I figured you've come to
my rescue enough times.

Let me help you for once.

Hi. May i take your coat?

You came with him?
You came with her?

I think you're at the wrong
place. Prom is down the street.

Oh, that's fine.

I'll just let you get back
to your euro-Fawning.

Jenny, um...

what are you doing here?
Just finishing what i started.

Serena, i love your jacket.
It's so beautiful.

Yeah, actually,
let me help you with that.

No, it's okay.
I'm gonna keep it on.

It's so pretty,
and it was a gift from you.

So sweet of you. Come on.

So much for diplomacy.

Let the international games
begin.

Serena. And... not nate.

Hi. I'm blair.

Damien. A pleasure.

Um, the, uh, french ambassador's
daughter's

An old friend of mine. I'm
gonna let you guys... mm.

Excuse me.

I see you took my advice.

It's good to keep nate
on his toes.

And nice choice
of competition.

Thank you.

Your idea's completely juvenile,
but it seems to be working.

I'm jenny. Nice to meet you.
Thank you so much.

I still can't believe
he came with jenny, though.

If i know jenny,
she came with him.

But trust me. This is
exactly what you wanted.

Games will be played,
sexual innuendo ensues.

And in the end, nate will be
right where you wanted him.

My problems are not nearly
so easily resolved.

Even monsieur duris' entourage

Is perfection in bone structure
and styling.

While without
a formal introduction,

I have no choice but to stalk him.
Blair, you know you don't need chuck.

Anyone who meets you can see
you're an elitist snob

Who's perfect to run
a secret society.

Bonne chance.
Ah! Merci.

Ah.

On a un petit soucis,
mais je t'assure

Que tu l'auras au prix
demandé à la fin de la soirée.

Tu as intérêt, sinon,

J'appellerai le flic
pour cette garce qui le porte.

Uh, hi. I'm jenny.

Wow.

French people
really are rude.

She's usually
a much happier customer.

Yeah. Looks like the plan's off the rails thanks to
serena, huh? From what i recall from boarding school,

It wasn't terribly difficult to
get serena out of her clothes.

That jacket is not leaving this
party on serena van der woodsen.

Serena, i don't know why
you're here with that guy.

I mean, if you're trying
to make me jealous,

There's no reason to. I want to
be here with you. I invited you.

But then you uninvited me.

But you're right. Taking it slow
was the right decision.

Hi. Damien.

Nate archibald.

Serena, let me
introduce you to some people.

Thanks
for keeping my date company.

So what's the deal with nate,

The guy who seemed like
he wanted to cut my head off?

Is he an ex-Boyfriend
or something?

Oh, possibly a new one.
Honestly, that's the reason

I asked you to bring me
here tonight. I'm sorry.

No, don't be.
The old make-Him-Jealous-

By-Bringing-The-Titled-European
ploy. Yep.

Well, i'm flattered you thought
i was worthy of the task.

Well, thank you
for understanding.

If you really want to make him
jealous, though,

I suggest we commit fully,
you know?

Let me take off this jacket.

No, damien. I'm sorry.
I- I can't do this.

This was a huge mistake
already. I...

no, no, no.
We can make it better.

No strings attached.

Damien, i-I don't like you
like that.

I mean it.

Hey.

Are you serious? What happened
to the serena that i wanted

Throughout boarding school? I've
changed, and it's a good thing.

Serena.

I'm sorry.
That-That wasn't...

monsieur duris?

C'est vous n'est-Ce pas?

I'm sorry.
Have we been introduced?

I'm blair waldorf.
Perhaps you've heard of me?

I submitted
a charter application for n.Y.U.

Um...

can you just hold on
one minute?

Don't go anywhere.
I'll be right back.

Chuck.
There you are.

I knew you'd see
the error of your ways.

Monsieur duris just stepped out
for his cigarette break,

Which gives us two and a half
minutes, maybe four,

If it's a gauloise.
I came to apologize.

Ugh. What happened?

Don't tell me that awful whore
did something terrible to you.

I think that whore
may be my mother.

There you are.

Serena's about to leave.
You need to stop her.

You know what, jenny? This just
isn't fun for me anymore.

I should have never listened to dan.
Okay, i don't know what dan said,

But why would you take
romantic advice

From a guy who has
a cabbage patch doll?

I don't know. All you need
to know is i blew my chance.

The masquerade ball was
two years ago.

Don't let serena
get away again.

You know your mother died
during childbirth.

What if she didn't?

What if it was just another
of my father's many lies?

Look,

It makes sense that when you
finally let your father go,

Your mother would reappear.

She's not a ghost, blair.

Don't you think i know
how crazy this sounds?

It's why i couldn't tell you
or anyone.

I'm aware that
one of bart's old girlfriends

May have known my name,

And maybe even look like
old pictures of my mother.

But my father only had one
of these made with an "e" on it.

This woman had it.

Whoever she is,

It just seems like...

she'll make losing your mom
hurt all over again.

Do you really think

Anything could be
more painful

Than killing my own mother

And having my father hate me
for it my whole life?

If there is any chance

This isn't what happened,
i have to know.

I don't want to keep you

From your business
with monsieur duris.

I just had to let you know.

Nothing...

is more important
than being with you for this.

Sometimes despite the risk,

The only thing to do is
seize the moment...

or whatever else you can grab.

I really always hope that blair
is wrong about these things,

But if the only reason
you want to be with me is

Because i'm with someone else, then you can forget
it. No, i want to be here with you. I just got scared

That if we moved too fast
things weren't gonna work out,

And i really don't want that
to happen.

Okay, because i've waited...

I've waited a really long
time for this. Me, too.

We need to talk.

Rufus, finally.

I- I-I must have called you
a hundred times.

I told you i'd call you back
when i was ready.

Well, i guess i just didn't
expect it to take quite so long.

Well, i guess you should have
thought about that

Before you...

spent the night in a hotel room
with your ex-Husband.

Well, i'm here now.

So why don't you tell me
exactly what happened?

Lil, i'm not interested
in any more lies.

We should probably go.

Mnh-Mnh. Let's finish
what we started.

Not having any fun?

No. No, but you go ahead
and have yours.

Please... gloat.

You've earned it.

Well, you're always telling me
that this is a business

And not my social life,

But yet you're the one
who screwed up a major deal

Because you wanted to fulfill

A high school dream of a night
with serena van der woodsen.

Irony duly noted. Maybe next time
you won't be so quick to dismiss me.

I don't know if there will be
a next time.

Word of this botched job will
get around to my other clients.

And i owe violette more money

Than i could possibly steal back
from my father,

So i think it's time for me
to head back to the continent.

Hey, damien.

What is that jacket doing
on the floor?

It belongs
to the ambassador's daughter.

She'll be furious.

Hang it up
and make absolutely sure

That violette gets it
when she leaves.

Looks like you can cancel
that transatlantic ticket.

I guess so.

Elizabeth?

I'm sorry. Have we met?

You ran away from me
at my father's grave.

I'm charles bass.

Oh, of course.

I apologize
for my sudden departure.

It was a very emotional day
for me.

You must have known my father
very well.

I'm not sure what gives you
that impression.

Your father and i
simply shared

A few memorable months
many years ago.

I was actually visiting
my mother's grave,

And i just stopped
to pay my respects.

At that time of the night?

On the anniversary
of my father's death?

I saw you had
his favorite flowers.

And you knew who i was.

I'm sorry. I... i read
that bart had a son,

And you look just like
your father.

Most people say i more closely
resemble my mother.

I wouldn't know.

I never had the pleasure
of meeting her.

Well, maybe...

you can tell me why

You had her locket.

Oh.

Your father gave it to me.

The "e" is for "elizabeth."

I loved to believe
it was a special gift.

I'm fairly certain
he gave it

To all his girlfriends
at the time.

You're welcome to keep it,
if you'd like.

I'm sure it means a great deal
more to you than it does to me.

I'm sorry
i can't help you find

Whatever it is
you're looking for.

Blair, i'm sorry
to waste your time.

You should have stayed
with monsieur duris.

I wouldn't want to be
anywhere else.

I'm just going to visit
the ladies' room.

Then we'll leave.

I'll bring the car around.

Elizabeth.

I already told your friend
everything i know.

And he may have bought it.

But i originated
that innocent, doe-Eyed stare.

I usually employ it when i know
more than i'm willing to let on.

Chuck...

spent his entire life

Believing that he killed
his mother.

If you know anything...

that could take away
even a second of that pain,

It would be cruel
not to share it.

Otherwise,

Leaving town means never having
to say you're sorry.

Look, i was exhausted.

I was scared. I thought
my mother was going to die.

He's a doctor. He knew people
that could help her.

I had to seek him out. I already
knew about cece being sick,

And i know
that she got better.

And i'm not gonna sit here
for another hour

While you talk around this thing.
What do you want me to tell you?

Tell me
that you weren't with him

While i was home
taking care of our kids.

Tell me that you didn't sleep
with your ex-Husband.

I didn't sleep with him.

I did kiss him,

But that's all.

Well, it must have been
one hell of a kiss

For you to build
all these lies around it.

Look, i-I-I promise.
It d-It didn't mean anything.

We were engaged.
It means something to me.

Where are you going?

I need time
to figure this out,

Away from you.

Oh, rufus, please, would you
come back home so we can...

so we can work this out.

Hey. Hey, vanessa.
It's, uh, it's me.

I haven't heard from you
in awhile,

So i'm-I'm guessing that means
you don't want to hear from me.

Um, but, uh,

Well, anyway,
things around here aren't-

Aren't so great right now.

You know,
with my-My dad and lily...

So i... i don't know.

If you get a minute,
i- I could use a friend.

I think we're pushing our luck
at this point.

Yeah.
We should go now.

Will you grab my jacket
and dress, please?

Hey, i don't see it.

It's not here.

It's a perfect fit.

Well, i'm glad you're sticking
around for a while.

Me, too. Here.

No.

This wasn't a date.

If you want one,
you'll have to ask.

With enough time,
eventually we all see

What was right
in front of us...

thank you.
Don't mind us.

Oh, great service.

Hey, that-That girl's
got my coat.

This was probably
the best first date ever.

Promise me no more slow.

Well, what if it's
the good kind of slow?

And realize no matter
how long it took,

It was worth the wait.

Are you all right?

I spent 18 years

Accepting the fact
my mother was dead.

I was misguided...

to let one
of my father's girlfriends

Allow me to question that,

To hope things
may be different.

Your real mother
would never turn her back

On a chance to know you.

I don't have a real mother,
blair.

I never will.

That doesn't mean
you're alone.

I love you, chuck,

And i'll always be
your family.

But for some,
that time never comes.

Instead of healing
old wounds...

the wait just opens new ones...

time after time.
