20/12/2008

Gossip Girl (Voice of Kristen Bell) #They say keep your friends close and enemies closer...but what happens when friends become enemies and enemies become friends? Welcome to the upper East side where even Mother Teresa is at risk of corruption. You know you love me #

In School Yard.
Blair sits with Serena.

Serena(S): So, have you seen chuck lately?
Blair(B): Chuck? why would i see him? no i haven't.
S: just, you and him seem kinda friendly.
B: Ugh! I don't think so! Chuck doesn't have any friends. He isn't capable of having a conversation that doesn't involve talk of sex and drugs.
S: He has Nate.
B: My point exactly.
S: What? Do you think Nate is just as bad? You did go out with him remember!
B: Yes and he cheated on me...Remember? They are both the same.
Serena gets embarrassed and her expression conveys a sense of guilt.
S: Ye, We were drunk Blair. Can we not bring that up please.

Coincidently Chuck walks up to where S and B are sitting. He is accompanied by three giggling girls.

B: Oh look who it is, Casanova and his three sluts.
Chuck (C): I'll take that as a compliment. (bends over and whispers to B and S) By the way, they're just an accessory, nothing more...they practically follow me...i don't even know their names...loose women Blair, a different species to you .
B: Ugh. What do you want man-whore?!
C: (stands upright again) Me and the girls are going to the opening of my burlesque club tonight, i wanted to personally invite you two. what do you say Blair?....Serena? are you busy tonight?
S: Umm, actually me and Dan were gonna get together.....and hang out....and stuff.
B: Didnt you guys have a fight?
S: Ye, thats why we're hanging out..to talk.
C: And Blair? I'll send the car round at 7?
B: For what? I'm not coming. You wont see me dead in that bar of yours, it's degrading....full of perverted men...like yourself (to chuck)
S: Ouch! Blair, you should go. You might actually enjoy it.
C: I'd take your friends advice if i were you. You never know, you might have the night of your life.

There is a short silence.

C: Be ready by 7.

Chuck exits followed by his giggling girls.

B: Serena! i don't wanna go! I have better things to do!
S: I'm sure it wont be as bad as you think! just go and have fun, if you don't like it you can leave. i mean we've been to loads of places like that before, it wont be that scandalous!
B: Ye but those places weren't owned by Chuck Bass'tard... imagine it, full of whores, drugs and drink. it's not exactly my scene. maybe yours, not mine.
S: Well maybe you should make it your scene... just think about it. Anyway I have to go now, got chemistry and wouldn't wanna miss that! (Laughs)
B: All right i'll see you later then, i'm free for another hour before i have class!
S: Well you'll have time to think about tonight then!
B: (shouts as Serena runs off) I'm not going...

Blair walks inside to common room.
Nate is also there.
There is still awkwardness between them.

Nate(N): Hey Blair.
B: Hey (smiles)
N: I've got free period.
B: Ummm me too.
N: Do you wanna go for a..... coffee or something?
B: Ummm, ok i guess we could.
N: Cool, lets go to the cafe on XXXX Street.
B: Ok.

At Cafe, Ordered Coffee.

N: So hows things nowadays, i hardly see you.
B: Everything great.
N: Good.

Short silence.

N: Your mom and my dad are working on an advertising capaign.
B: I know.
N: Well it's going pretty good as far as i've heard.
B: That's good.
N: I saw Dan and Jenny yesterday, they said they visited their mom in Connecticut, reminded me of when we used to spend summers in the Hamptons.
B: Ye ......Serena Loved it there.
N: Umm, ye, did she? I didn't know that...not that I should know, it's just....ummm..

Is interrupted (luckily) by waitress.
Waitress: Your Cappuccino and your latte.. and some hospitality chocolate cake. enjoy your drinks.

N: Thanks.

Nate takes a sip of his cappuccino.

N: So, how's school?
B: Usual.
N: I've been thinking more about what i wanna do...you know....dad wants me to go to college...mom wants me to do what dad wants...etc, i just wanna find out what i really want..... you know what i mean Blair?
B: Sure.
N: So i've been thinking about college and stuff and how i've always wanted to make my parents happy.....make dad proud...but now i dont know what i want anymore.

Silent pause.

N: Ye, and i've been thinking that i should probably take a year out or something...i dunno....just a break really. ....Am... i ....boring you, or is something on your mind...you seem kinda distant?
B: No, I'm listening.

Nate acknowledges the fact that maybe things are still awkward between them, judging by Blairs short answers and lack of response to him. He decides to go neutral and stop talking about himself.

N: Are you gonna try the cake? i'ts chocolate, your favourite.
B: (Nods head) No.
N: Chuck's having an opening tonight, you probably haven't heard, but its a new place he brought, he's really excited about it.
B: Actually he did tell me about that. it sounds like great fun.
N: Really? I didnt think it was your kind of thing?
B: Well, then you dont know me as well as you think, i think it's a great idea. in fact he's invited me to the opening. i wouldn't miss it,...you have to be loyal to your friends right?, and Chuck seems really proud of this new venture.
N: Ye, he is happy.
B: And that's all that matters, Are you going, it's definitely your scene, promiscuous girls...alcohol..., im just going cuz chuck really wanted me to be there, he invited me and Serena but Serena cant make it, she's busy, he's sending his car round to pick me up, isn't that nice of him!?
N: yeah.
B: I cant wait to see what he's done to the place, it used to be a coffee shop, but he promised that I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm sure I will, he's always full of surprises.
N: I know.
B: And Knowing Chuck he's probably turned it into something original, im looking forward to it...so are you gonna be there?
N: Probably.
Blair proceeds to get up
B: Well I'll see you there then, i have to go now I've got a bit of shopping to do.
N: What about school?
B: Oh, no big deal, I'll only miss a bit, I'll go in later. taraah.
N: Bye.

Blair exits.
Blairs Residence.

Dorota the house keeper answers front door. Chuck's driver is waiting outside.

Dorota (D): Miss. Blair your car is here.
B: Great, don't wait up for me I'll be home late.
D: Ok Miss Blair, do take care.
B: Dont worry about me, i'll be fine!

Outside Chuck's bar.
Chuck is awaiting Blair's arrival.
Blair's car approaches and Blair exits car.

C: Well look who turned up to my party. I was expecting an empty car.
B: Well I had nothing better to do.
C: Of course.
B: Im not here for you anyway! I only came because i'm meeting my friends here.
C: And which friends might they be?
B: None of your business, now move out of my way, i dont wanna be seen speaking to you!

Blair enters club.
shortly followed by Chuck.
Blair looks around the club.

C: What do you think.
B: Didnt i just get rid of you?
C: You'll never get rid of me.
B: It's the same as every other club.
C: What? Are you crazy...! Who has a stage like that, drinks like these (as he picks up a cocktail from a waiters tray.) waiters like that (waitresses are almost naked and waiters are dressly soly in pants and a bow tie) and dancers like them (points to the stage where burlesque dancers are performing).
B: I've seen better.
C: (shows a look of disappointment) We also have private rooms for private shows....maybe i can show you one of them...
B: In your dreams, i'm staying far away from you.

They are interrupted by Nate who casually joins the conversation.

N: Blair, you made it.
B: Ye.
N: Me and Chuck have been her for the past hour getting to know the workers, it's a great set up don't you think, and the workers are really friendly too.
B: Ye, i bet they are.
C: (laughs) Nate quite enjoyed getting to know the dancers!
N: What? No! i wasn't referring to those workers, i meant the other workers, like the ones at the bar, the waiter...
C: Sure Nate...
B: Chuck, you were going to show me the private rooms...
C: I thought you.....(is interrupted)
B: Oh just come (drags him away)

Nate watches them walk off.

C: Easy on the Jacket, do you know how expensive this was!
B: More expensive than your bedtime exploits?
C: Depends, ....some nights are free.
B: Uggh, you disgust me!
C: I love it when you talk dirty...
Blair attempts to storm off, but is apprehended by Chuck once more

C: The private rooms are this way...(as he holds on to her arm)
Blair breaks free of his grasp attempting to walk away from him.
They are approached by a scantily clad dressed woman, who eyes up Chuck.

Girl (G): I've been told you're the humble owner of this establishment?
C: Proud owner, .......yes. and you are...?
B: Leaving!!! (grabs Chuck by the arm and proceeds to walk in the direction pointed out to her by Chuck as being towards the private rooms)

C: You dont have to be so rough in public! If you want to show me the animal in you, wait till we're alone...
B: You'll be lucky if i show you anything.
C: Im intrigued.
B: Dont be.

Chuck and Blair enter a private room.
The room is dark, with a single red chaise longue style seating furniture.
There is a small stand with various alcoholic drinks and appetisers.
There is various other stands with other aphrodisiacs such as a chocolate fountain with dipping fruits and marshmallows.

C: So, .......what do you think of my....lair?
B: You mean nest....?!
C: Well if thats what you want it to be.......i didnt see you as the maternal type.
B: Well i can be a medley of things.
C: Really?...(as he pours drinks for them)
B: (accepts a drink from him)
C: Can you be what i want you to be right now?
B: No.
C: You haven't even heard me out yet.
B: I dont need to, i can almost envisage what your sick mind is conjuring up...and i'm not interested.
C: And why might that be (takes a sip of his drink)
B: Because you make me sick.
C: Really?....or maybe it's because your a virgin?
B: What?! What would you know?.....Who told you that?
C: Does it matter....i'm sure everyone knows....you can never be sure with Gossip Girl...
B: I've never seen anything like that on Gossip Girl....was it Nate?
C: (begins to touch Blairs arm) Look lets forget about that...why dont we sit...and talk.
B: You two talked about me?
C: Does it matter now? Your not his girlfriend anymore. get over it.
B:(almost doesnt realise he is holding her, something she would not usually allow!) I am over it.
C: Then stop thinking about him and move on elsewhere...
B: But how could he tell you! who else must he have told!! That's my business!...and it's not like i' m..."that" because i didnt want to! he was the one that didn't...everytime i got close he just moved further away! So how could he complain about me! especially to you!
C: Well if i were him, i'd have nothing to complain about...(attempts to make a move on her)
B: (realises chuck's intentions and pulls slightly away from his face, but he still has a slight hold on her arms) Well, you wouldnt complain about anything as long as you got sex....im sure even a hermaphrodite would enthral you!
C: Well if she....he-she looked anything like you...
B: What ever he said to you about me...it probably wasn't true anyway...he hardly took the time to get to know me! And you never will! (attempts to pull away from chuck)
C: Maybe he was too busy getting to know Serena...
B: (suddenly stops from trying to release her arm from his grasp) Serena?......she was never good enough for him...
C: I agree....she's not exactly alluring............not like you.....................if i were Nathaniel i would never look at her twice.............but you on the other hand....(begins to caress her)............the truth is....Serena? she would never tempt me (strokes his face onto hers).............but you have (attempts to kiss her...)

Blair and Chuck kiss passionately, until they fall onto the sofa and continue, unitl they have sex.

Gossip Girl: # Talk of Serena and Nate definitely pushed Blair into "revenge sleeping" with Chuck, but thats Chuck Bass, who just happens to be Ex-BF's BFF! You know you love me xoxo Gossip Girl...#
