I don't know. That "eat, pray, love" thing 95 00:04:25,496 --> 00:04:28,315 of hers is great and all, but I-I just highly doubt 96 00:04:28,339 --> 00:04:32,419 she can keep her mouth shut a whole month.

Oh, you've apologized enough, Serena. No one's blaming you. 209 00:10:10,641 --> 00:10:12,789 Now that those vultures have the first shot of your return, 210 00:10:12,813 --> 00:10:14,761 I'm sure they'll leave you alone. 211 00:10:14,785 --> 00:10:17,323 It's not like you're gonna get arrested again.

Why not let her continue? 240 00:11:42,773 --> 00:11:45,882 What about you? Any word from the Van Der bilt compound 241 00:11:45,906 --> 00:11:47,283 since you've been back? 242 00:11:47,307 --> 00:11:50,086 Not a word. Tomorrow's the family Polo match. 243 00:11:50,110 --> 00:11:51,888 I mean, when I skipped out on the internship 244 00:11:51,912 --> 00:11:53,820 at the mayor's office, I knew they'd be mad, 245 00:11:53,844 --> 00:11:55,892 but now I'm getting the silent treatment. 246 00:11:55,916 --> 00:11:58,294 So if they're mad already, 247 00:11:58,318 --> 00:12:02,298 why don't you call the girl from the plane?

No. No, it wasn't. 263 00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:42,238 Yeah. We... we had our honeymoon period, and it was perfect, 264 00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:44,370 but... while other couples settle into a routine, 265 00:12:44,394 --> 00:12:46,943 we were determined to keep things interesting. 266 00:12:46,967 --> 00:12:49,115 So Chuck plays the cheating bastard, 267 00:12:49,139 --> 00:12:51,117 and I play the scorned woman. 268 00:12:51,141 --> 00:12:53,920 I even get to choose who to humiliate... 269 00:12:53,944 --> 00:12:56,923 Models, tourists, upper west siders, I don't know if anybody ever told you this, 270 00:12:56,947 --> 00:12:58,925 but the honeymoon is supposed to end. It isn't real. 271 00:12:58,949 --> 00:13:01,457 The real part is when you settle down with each other. 272 00:13:01,481 --> 00:13:04,831 The 3-month milestone. It is not a milestone. It's a gravestone. 273 00:13:04,855 --> 00:13:07,393 Settling down means death... Less sex, more silence. 274 00:13:07,417 --> 00:13:10,196 We found a way to avoid that that works for us. 275 00:13:10,220 --> 00:13:12,468 Wow. You guys sure about that? 276 00:13:12,492 --> 00:13:15,371 I mean, if you don't mind me saying so, I... 277 00:13:15,395 --> 00:13:19,075 Well, I think I know Blair pretty well. Look, I would so like to retire 278 00:13:19,099 --> 00:13:22,478 any mention of the whole "Jules and Jim" thing. All right. 279 00:13:22,502 --> 00:13:24,911 But listen, the games may seem like fun. 280 00:13:24,935 --> 00:13:27,483 Are you sure blair's not just playing for you? 281 00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:30,456 'Cause if she's not doing it for herself, too... 282 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,442 Well, things could get messy. 283 00:13:33,543 --> 00:13:36,292 If you love him, then lock him down. 284 00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:38,064 Open relationships only invite chaos. 285 00:13:38,088 --> 00:13:39,866 Trust me. I know. 286 00:13:39,890 --> 00:13:42,428 It's not an open relationship. We're completely monogamous. 287 00:13:42,452 --> 00:13:44,901 It's just one of our games, like the rest. 288 00:13:44,925 --> 00:13:47,473 Yeah, until it isn't anymore. Playing the scorned woman 289 00:13:47,497 --> 00:13:49,475 and actually being the scorned woman 290 00:13:49,499 --> 00:13:51,477 is a slippery slope. B., college is about to start. 291 00:13:51,501 --> 00:13:54,841 What happens when one day you don't get there in time, 292 00:13:54,865 --> 00:13:57,968 and he actually kisses someone else, or worse?

Oh, we hooked up one night in Prague, but it was no big deal. 311 00:14:51,121 --> 00:14:53,239 But after I came back and started hanging out 312 00:14:53,263 --> 00:14:56,302 at this place...
