Todd Pushes Blair for a Quick Wedding


Blair is getting off the elevator of the lobby of the Palace Hotel when she is surprised to see Todd with a crowd of reporters and photographers. Todd rushes over to her.

Todd: (loudly and cheerfully) Ah, there she is, my little honey bunny!
Blair: What is this??
Todd: (quietly, to Blair) Don't screw this up. (louder, to the reporters) Ladies and gentlemen? I, uh, I called you all here to announce our engagement.
Reporter: Blair, tell us how it feels to be on the verge of becoming Mrs. Todd Manning -- again!

Todd smiles with satisfaction at the reporters, while Blair smiles a little more tightly as the reporters continue shouting questions at them.

Later that night, as Blair is fast asleep, she is suddenly awakend when Todd comes barreling into her room.

Todd: Wake up, wake up, wake up -- come on! Get up, get up, get up, get up -- get up!
Blair: (confused) What time is it? (increasingly panicked) What -- how did you -- how did you get in here??
Todd: You really need to talk to somebody about the security around here.
Blair: What -- what are you doing here, Todd? Is something wrong?
Todd: Yeah, something's wrong! Something is really, really very wrong!

Blair gives Todd a look like she has no idea what's going on.

When the scene returns, Blair has just come back from checking on Starr in the adjoining room. She quickly pulls on her robe as she addresses an equally anxious-looking Todd.

Blair: Starr was sound asleep, and, Todd, you scared me to death! I thought that something had happened to her!
Todd: I didn't say anything was wrong with Starr!
Blair: You said that something was wrong!
Todd: Well, something is wrong! I went to talk to Andrew at St. James --
Blair: Andrew??
Todd: -- and the only time that we can book the church for the wedding is -- is either this upcoming Saturday, or else you got to wait until February 10th!
Blair: So?
Todd: "So"?? So?? So you can't have the reception at the Country Club because it's already booked, and I'm not having the reception here because Viki had her reception here, and this place is way tainted! So unless you're willing to wait until the 10th, we got to choose another day. Saturday's not the only day, you know. There are six other days in a week!
Blair: Stop. What -- what are you talking about here, Todd?
Todd: You said you wanted to have the wedding in Llanview, so I'm trying to set that up. Come on -- you -- you said you wanted to rub everybody's noses in it. That's what you said, right?
Blair: Okay, you know what? I'm going to count to ten, and if you're not out of here by five, I'm going to just scream bloody murder.
Todd: Why bother counting to ten if you're going to start screaming after five?
Blair: Todd, listen to me! You cannot just barge in here and start bombarding me with wedding plans in the middle of the night!
Todd: But this is what you said you wanted!
Blair: Listen! I don't want that, all right?? You're -- you're -- you're pressuring me! You're cornering me! Do you know how crazy that makes you seem??
Todd: (confused) And that's bad?
Blair: Just get out!
Todd: No! I'm not going anywhere until we settle this!
Blair: Yes, you are going, or I'm going to call the -- the security here!
Todd: Fine, but whatever happens next is your responsibility.

Todd stalks out of the room as Blair looks equal parts confused and annoyed.
