The Debarted

From the Script


Blair: "Um, this building... is a homeless shelter. A: Gross. And B: Really?"

Dan: "He's a handsome guy, he's a sophmore. He and Vanessa have a lot in common."
Nate: "He's a douche."

Nate: "Or just forget her, and move on to a... palette cleanser."

Nate: "She's a drama major. Actresses are crazy- Willa!"

Maureen: "You'll get... whatever it is your getting. Screwed, I think they call it."

Nate got to the scene of the accident just in time. -1
Maureen and Tripp went to the hospital why? -1
Serena stormed out of Tripp's house expecting to "find a cab" in the wee hours of the night. (But she would). +1
Serena tells Maureen she has no right to be at her husband's home. -1
Vanessa tries to act like she doesn't believe Dan, but she totally does. And her casual "I love you too." +2

Sum Total: -4


For the Love of Eric Damon

Treasure of Serena Madre

From the Script


Blair: "Doing the right thing takes courage and strength. At least that's what I've heard.

Jenny: "So what, you hate me, but you've been pretending to be my friend this whole time?"
Eric: "That's pretty much it, yeah."

Dan: "Cece's heart pumps secrets and gun."

Jenny: "What you don't have anything to say to me?"
Eric: "Your sweet potatoes are bland."

Chuck: "A little Thanksgiving proclamation. You two ever play grab-ass in my elevator again, and Serena will be staying at an airport Marriott. Happy Holidays!"

Blair: "What are you clutching?"
Dorota: "Eleanor ask me to pick up things for Paris. It pricvate."
Blair: "You know what isn't? The INS tip line."

Blair: "You know I love Thanksgiving. The parade? On TV? I'm 19! Childhood memories are already slipping away."

Nate: "I told you this would end badly. Threesomes, man. Don't believe the hype !"

Dorota: "He won't stop calling.. and texting.. and tweeting.. and writing on wall."

Blair: "She has some bomb she wants to drop on me in a controlled environment surrounded by air marshalls and French people."

Realism

Every single character that has ever been on the show is at the same place on Thanksgiving. -3

Vanessa's mom told Dan she could tell he was in love with her. -2 Because that should've been Rufus.

Nate. Just Nate. +2 Because I love who he's becoming.

Rufus still uses an old-school recipe box, in this day and age. +1

Serena. +2 She gets dumber and dumber. AND she chose Tripp over Nate. Tsk, tsk.

Vanessa's mom is haggard nosy, selfish bitch. But she does play the part well. +1

Lily thought Rufus wouldn't mind not cooking for Thanksgiving. -1

Vanessa is already over the threesome? No awkwardness ? -1

Grandma's don't know how to video chat, not even Cece. -1

So... Maureen makes Nate tell her the truth about Tripp and Serena. Ok... but she really owes him an apology for letting him take the blame for the plot to win Tripp's election? -1

Tripp and Maureen didn't even leave after the whole affair confrontation. That's awkward. -2

Blair not only condones Serena and Tripp, but literally tells her to go run away with him. She would never. -2

Sum Total: -7 (Still a really good episode!)
