Todd and Blair are at the penthouse, living it up after a shopping spree with Todd's new money. The place is filled with shopping bags, Todd is playing with a toy remote control car, and Blair is roller-skating around the living room.

Blair: (unsteady on her feet and laughing) You keep that car away from me, Todd! I mean it!

Blair rolls around the couch and heads toward the fireplace, almost crashing into Todd as she goes.

Blair: Whoo! Watch out, wait, wait, wait a minute -- I'm coming through, I'm coming through, I'm coming through, I'm coming through! Whoo!

Blair crashes into the fireplace and laughs happily.

Todd: I thought I was the menace to society in this family.
Blair: (giggling) Well, not anymore. (she starts yelling at the ceiling) And I'm sure the Burkharts are gonna be up any minute now complaining about the noise!
Todd: (sitting on the couch) Oh, let 'em knock themselves out. They want to live somewhere quiet, tell 'em to move to a mortuary. It ain't nighttime now. Hell, I'll just buy their apartment.

Todd starts playing with a handheld video game as Blair continues skating around the room.

Blair: Todd, you know what? I love the way that you think. If someone bothers you, you just buy 'em out.
Todd: I like this businessman thing. It's a lot more like football than I thought it was gonna be. Difference is, football, I was born with my talent. Business, I inherited it.
Blair: Oh, yes you did! (heading toward him) Watch out.

Blair promptly collapses on the couch next to Todd.

Blair: Lots -- oh, lots of it.
Todd: Yeah, now with 28 million bucks, I can buy my own stadium. Now, they play by my rules. Keep you off roller skates, the world's my oyster.

Suddenly Blair starts to breathe heavily, as if she's in pain.

Todd: Blair? You all right? Hey -- is it the baby? Are you okay?

--end scene--

When the scene returns, Blair seems to have recovered a little, but Todd is angrily putting away the roller skates.

Todd: I bought these stupid things. A pregnant woman on roller skates -- I should never have let you do this.
Blair: Todd, I'm all right. I just got a little queasy for a second -- that's all.
Todd: I should call a doctor.
Blair: (reassuringly) You should calm down. I'm going to be fine -- I've got a doctor's appointment this afternoon, and I couldn't get there any earlier anyway. Besides, it's -- it's just a little morning sickness. It's normal. (smiling at him) It's wonderful.

Todd is taken aback to hear this.

Todd: What? You like feeling like you're... (he trails off) I mean, you -- you looked a little green there.
Blair: Well, I'm going to enjoy every nauseating moment because it reminds me that I am going to have a baby.
Todd: Yeah, this kid's never going near roller skates, I'll tell you that.
Blair: You know, Todd, I've never felt like this in my whole life. I mean, there's a part of me that -- that feels really awful and sick and all jumbled up inside. Then there's another part that feels -- I just feel so wonderful, knowing, God, I'm building a baby! Todd, we're going to have a baby!

Todd, suddenly a little uncomfortable, stands up and puts the skates away.

Todd: Next time you lace these things up, the kid's going to be in grade school, you got that?

Blair stands up, too, and seems to take Todd's cue about changing the subject.

Blair: You know, I was thinking that maybe -- we should -- we should redo this place. Make it our own. You know, get rid of some of this leftover Aunt Dorian aura. I mean, what do you think? How would you like to redecorate, Todd?
Todd: I was thinking maybe we should move, you know? Bigger place, more comfortable, somewhere you can put your feet up. Some place that, I don't know... (he trails off and looks around the room) All this art around here just collecting dust.
Blair: Sounds good to me.
Todd: The thing that's important to me is I don't want it to be stuffy or serious, you know? I kind of like something to be fun. Maybe a pinball machine or two, you know? Like the old kind, where you can hear the counter kind of clicking around and you gotta lift it like a foot before it tilts. Oh, and a pool table! I always wanted a pool table.

All of this sounds very familiar to Blair.

Blair: Why don't you buy Rodi's? Then you'll have all the comforts of home!
Todd: Yeah, you're right. Why, what kind of place you want to live in?
Blair: I don't know. How about, uh, sleek, modern, minimal?

Todd rolls his eyes a little.

Blair: What?
Todd: Oh, come on, Blair, you don't exactly shop "minimal." I mean, look at all this stuff!

Todd goes to sit down by the fireplace.

Blair: Well, true. (she sits down on the couch) I cannot believe all of the stuff that we bought yesterday, can you? (she looks at the game Todd was holding earlier)
Todd: You know, after signing so many checks, I was starting to wish I had a shorter name.
Blair: Well, "Lord" is a shorter name --
Todd: Don't even kid about that. I mean, "Manning"'s not exactly the greatest name, but.... Maybe I should be "Todd X" -- do you think I can sign that on checks?

At the mention of checks, Blair remembers the primary reason she went after Todd's money in the first place.

Blair: You know, Todd, speaking -- speaking of checks... (she gets up and walks over to the bar) You might, um, have to write another one.
Todd: Sure. What for?
Blair: Well, you know the money that I borrowed from Cassie to pay for Mother at St. Anne's?
Todd: Yeah.
Blair: Well, and I was going to go over there this afternoon to see Mother, and, well, I thought that maybe I could give them some money in -- in advance, because I was so late last month, you know, on the payments and all.

Todd gets to his feet and goes over to the desk, where he's been keeping a small box. He hands it to Blair.

Todd: Here. Open these.

Blair takes the box, opens it, and is surprised to see a checkbook, with her name alongside Todd's: "Blair Daimler Manning."

Blair: Todd! This has my name on it, too!
Todd: Come on, what, you wanted me to write you an allowance or something? Hey, you write whatever you need. You keep this box of checks -- I'll order another one.
Blair: (laughing in disbelief) Are you serious?
Todd: Look, Blair, we're married. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. I mean, look, when I had diddly, you shared what you had. I mean, you bought more than your share of drinks.
Blair: Right, Todd, I don't believe that that is exactly the same as a checking account with half a million bucks in it!
Todd: No, it is. It's exactly the same thing. You shared what you had, now I'm sharing what I have.
Blair: (softly) Todd, I think that -- I think that is the most wonderful thing --

Todd interrupts Blair before she can get too mushy on him.

Todd: Yeah, well, whatever, okay? Look, not even you can spend 28 million in a day. So, what, you feeling better?
Blair: Todd...thank you.

Todd nods slightly at Blair, just a hint of a proud smile on his face.

--end scene--

When the scene returns, Todd and Blair are both sitting by the fireplace. Blair is looking over the checkbook and Todd is unwrapping more of his packages.

Blair: I cannot -- I can't believe that you gave me all this money to play with!
Todd: (unwrapping some speakers) Oh, man, revenge is sweet.
Blair: (laughs)
Todd: The way this town treated me the last couple of years, they're gonna have to change their tune.
Blair: It's, um, too bad that money can't buy everything.
Todd: What, you mean, like, love and stuff like that?
Blair: No, I was -- I was thinking actually about Melador. I mean, I've only got a -- a year lease on that office, and I'm sure Asa's gonna be ragging me the whole time, making my life completely miserable.
Todd: Oh, screw him. The company's going to make a mint. Let him eat his shriveled little heart out.
Blair: Yeah. It's just that a year from now, Melador's going to be taking off and, well, I'm going to have to get new office space. Well, at least Cord's not involved with it anymore -- just his mean old granddaddy.

Hearing all of this, Todd seems to have gotten an idea....
