RS: And now Mr Bass's son Charles will say a few words...
Reverand sits down.
B: Chuck? Go on...
Blair pushes Chuck up to the front of the church.
C: I didn't really want to say anything. My Dad was one who went after what he wanted, and he would usually sucssed, He was also a man who faught for what he loved, and what he loved was Lily furgão, van der Woodsen, But it's a shame, She didn't feel the same way. (People begin to talk. Blair looks shocked) While my father was living his last breath. You were with another man, and that didn't surprise me. But lets face it you were only in it for the money were you Lily, and you (looks as Bart Business friends) Don't act like you care, Now that my father's dead, you think you can take over the company,
Blair leans fowards.
B: (whispers) Chuck! Stop it
C: Well back to my father, the bastard, I really don't understand why your all here, He wasn't a good father, He didn't care, the last words he said to me were "You dissapoint me",
Blair gets tears in her eyes, because she is upset at Chuck's breakdown.
C: That's all I was a dissapointment, Not quite good enough. Well your dead now Dad, And your probably still dissapointed in me, but don't worry father, I'll carry on to disgrace you, and I hope your looking up from hell, So I can just prove you right.
B: (Stands up) Chuck...Please stop
C: So when we get back to the appartment lets all raise our glasses to Bart!
Chuck looks around the church at the shocked faces, then rushes out.
B: Chuck!
Blair is about to run after him.
Eleanor pulls her arm to sit down and whispers to Blair.
E: Sit down Blair
B: I need to after him
E: He's beyond help, He really is a peice of work
B: Yeah well, He's my peice of work
Blair runs out of the church.
RS: Right, Shall we continue? (Looks at Lily)
Lily nods.
(Outside the church)
Chuck is hiding behind a mural and listens to Blair.
B: Chuck?! Chuck...Please...You need someone, And I'm here for you. (Waits for a response) Fine! Be stubborn, (waits for another response) Ughh.
Blair goes back into the church.
Chuck walks away from the church.
GG: Spotted. Chuck losing the plot, What's the matter C? Are you really missing Daddy? But I'm sure all that cash will soften the blow...
(Later back in the baixo Appartment after the funeral)
Chuck is on the sofá drinking from a bottle of champagne.
Lily goes to sit por him. Blair is listening behind the couch.
L: Charles, I know your upset but was that outburst nesessary?
C: You have no idea how upset I am
L: I'm in the same barco here, I lost a husband
C: No you lost a free bank
L: That's untrue, I loved your father
C: Past tense, You loved him
L: Look Charles, We're here to remember your father and it would be nice if you behaved
C: I didn't when he was alive why should I when he's dead?
L: Don't you want to prove him wrong?
C: No, I'm beyond caring, and I know you don't so stop pretending
L: I'm not Charles, I'm still here for you
C: I don't care, as far as I'm concerned your just another one of my Dad's whores
Lily slaps Chuck.
The room goes silent.
L: Charles, I'm sorry
C: You are nothing to me
Chuck goes upstairs and Blair follows him.
Blair pushes Chuck into the bedroom.
Chuck walks over to the window.
Blair closes the door.
B: What was that?
C: I sudden outburst of my emotions, I thought that's what you wanted?
B: I wanted you to express how you were feeling, Not Insult half the Upper East Side

C: Maybe that's the problem
B: What?
C: I can't do it Blair,
B: Do what?

C: Just until I'm ready
B: Then I guess, that's what we're doing
Blair gets up but Chuck stops her from leaving.

B: I suppose there could be some pleasure in that, we have hope
Chuck and Blair kiss.
B: What are you going to do?
C: I don't know, But...You get on with your life
Chuck leaves the room.
Blair looks at herself in the mirror to whipe away the tears.
B: How can I do that without you?
GG: So Blair and Chuck are over before it even got a chance to get going, So with Chuck going away to "greive", and we all know what that means, and B moving on, can she survive without C? We'll find out soon, You know you amor me. xoxo Gossip Girl.
