Rufus：Lily. There you are.

　　Lily：Oh,I just needed a moment. That… what just happened…

　　Rufus：The kiss?

　　Lily：Yeah, it made me feel a little…

　　Rufus：Nostalgic?

　　Lily：Nauseous.

　　Rufus：Right,ouch.

　　Lily：No, I'm kidding, kind of. I'm sorry,Rufus. I- maybe I shouldn't have asked you here.

　　Rufus：Right,and I'm sorry I kissed you but I did it because that mercenary in the starched white shirt,he doesn't appreciate everything you have over an attractive 25-year-old mannequin 'cause beauty fades though yours has done a remarkable job of holding on and in the long run,it's gonna be his loss.And I thought he should know how it feels to lose you. 'Cause trust me,it's not fun.

　　Lily：I think it worked.

　　Bart：Lily, may I speak with you for a moment? If you'll excuse us.

　　Rufus：Happy to help.

　　Bart：(whispers)She means nothing.

　　Serena：Jenny? Hey.

　　Jenny：Serena. Look, you didn't see me here, okay?

　　Serena：Yeah,don't worry about it. Just one in a series of things I'll pretend didn't happen tonight.

　　Jenny：Is everything okay?

　　Serena：I'm not sure. Dan surprised me by showing up here.

　　Jenny：Well,go dan!

　　Serena：Yeah,except then he threw me for a loop by chasing after some girl named Vanessa.

　　Jenny：No,V's Dan's best friend.

　　Serena：Yeah well,they seemed like a little more than that. They've kind of got a history,don't they?

　　Jenny： Sure. But,I mean, Dan's never liked a girl like he likes you. Really, I mean, come on. He's at a masked ball and I think he'd go basically anywhere with you...except for maybe the ice capades 'cause that really freaked him out when he was 5.

　　Serena：You know what? I... I think I'll go and try to find him. I don't know how I'm gonna find anyone. This stupid mask keeps falling over my eyes.

　　Jenny：Well,I'd give you mine but masks come off at midnight and I kind of need my disguise to get out of here.

　　Serena：You know what? You wanna trade?

　　Jenny：Sure.

　　Serena：Thanks. And here,take this. It's so hot in here and you'll probably be cold outside. Here you go. Did you have fun tonight?

　　Jenny：It was everything I hoped.

　　Serena：Good.

　　Jenny：Okay, let's see. Here. Oh,thanks.

　　Serena：Pretty.

　　Nate：Serena, just don't say anything and let me explain.

　　Jenny：(under breath) oh my god.

　　Nate：I've been trying to do the right thing but it's killing me. Look,I know we both care about Blair but maybe the best thing for me is to just tell her the truth. I'm not over you and I thought I could fight it but I can't. And if you don't stop me,I'm gonna kiss you.

　　Serena：Nate? Nate,what are you doing? It's almost midnight. You have to find Blair.Look okay whatever. Just forget the clue.She's wearing big,tall boots and a big old crown. Just go, okay? Hurry.[page]分页标题[/page]

　　Blair：Serena,have you seen Nate? Hey!

　　All：Five,four,three,two,one!

　　Nate：Jenny.

　　Kati：It's midnight!

　　Isabel：Masks off!

　　Dan：Serena. Serena! Serena,wait. I'm so sorry. Serena!
