Gossip Girl Season 1

Woman on the verge

(Nate and alisha board the elevator at Blair's house; Chuck enters at the last second.)

Nate: Hey.

Chuck: Hey.

alisha: hey.

(Awkward. When they enter the residence, it's empty.)

alisha: Maybe this is Blair's idea of a perverse double date.

Dorota: Miss Blair asks that you should wait there. She's on her way now.

Nate: She's not even here?

Chuck, sitting: Well, this oughta be good.

(Blair enters the Waldorf residence.)

Gossip Girl: "...Things always turn up, for better..."

Nate: Well, is something actually wrong, or is this just some ploy to get us all here?

Blair: I meant what I said on the phone. I need your help. We need your help.

(Blair leads them back to the elevator and Serena is in a total shambles on the floor.)

Gossip Girl: "...Or for worse."

alisha: Oh my God. You okay? ... What's wrong with her?

Blair: Take her upstairs, get her upstairs. Dorota! Coffee. Fast.

(Blair carries Serena to her bathroom.)

Blair: Come on, Serena. We have to get her in the shower.

Serena: No, I just want to sleep.

Blair: Here. No. Come on, come on.

Serena: Why won't you let me sleep?

Blair: We have to keep her talking and awake. Come on, come on. Let's go. Let's go. Dorota, will you please get her a fresh change of clothes and a bathrobe?

Dorota: Of course, Miss Blair.

Chuck, entering with shopping bags: So we have every hangover cure known to man, plus bagels. They should help soak up the alcohol and whatever else she took...

Blair: Thank you, I'll take it from here. Come on. Come on. Come on, Serena. Help me out.

(Chuck watches Blair undress Serena; alisha closes the door on the girls.)

Serena: B, it's cold! It's cold!

Chuck: Just like old times.

alisha: You know, why do I get the feeling you're actually enjoying this?

(Serena barfs loudly inside the bathroom.)

Chuck: Call me sentimental?

Blair: Ugh. I may not need those bagels after all.

Nate: What's going on with her?

Blair: She was here last night, scared. She... She told me something totally crazy, but was too freaked out to find the words to explain it. I went upstairs to find my mom's Valium to calm her down, but when I got back, she was gone. It took me all night to find her.

alisha: What exactly did she say to you?

Blair: That's ... beside the point. We're here to help Serena, no matter what the problem is.

[later]

(Blair barely spares Dan and Wyatt a glance as they enter the Waldorf house.)
