RJ Taunts Todd About Blair and Cristian


It's New Year's Eve, and Todd is sitting alone in his office, staring at his "Get" list of all of the people he's planned revenge on: Lindsay, Sam, Bo, Nora, Max, Skye, Will, Ben and Viki. He's also just shut off the power in Llanview from his office computer, the monitor of which he strokes in satsifaction.

Todd: Happy New Year! The powerless are without power. Who's next? (counting down the list) Eeny -- I'm Meany -- Miney, Miney, Moe, Moe --

Suddenly, RJ enters the office. He's carrying a bottle of wine and a couple of wine glasses. Todd quickly turns off the computer monitor so RJ can't see that Todd's hacked into the city of Llanview's power company.

Todd: What do you want?
RJ: Well, it's, uh, a Lafite '69. It's supposed to be pretty good.
Todd: La "go away."
RJ: (chuckling) No one should be alone on New Year's. It's a time of celebration, and I couldn't think of anyone more deserving of my companionship, hatred, and bile than you.
Todd: I've got nothing to celebrate with you.
RJ: Ah, but you're wrong. We have much to celebrate. The -- the people in our pasts...our dearly departed.

RJ uncorks the bottle of wine and makes himself comfortable sitting across from Todd's desk and pouring himself some wine.

Todd: Don't do that. No, really, go away.
RJ: (ignoring him) There is something about New Year's -- the renewal. Out with the old, in with the new.
Todd: You know what's old? RJ: Hm? (sniffing the wine)
Todd: You and your pathetic need to keep trying to rub Tea in my face.
RJ: You know, she loved wine. And this one? (chuckling) This is fine.
Todd: Great. What's next? More phony notes? Maybe -- maybe a doctored home video?

Todd is referring to the fake note from Tea that RJ left in the office a few weeks ago.

RJ: No, no. Nothing like that.
Todd: Whatever it is, I'm not interested. You know, this time last year, she was already over you. You've got nothing. Get out of my office, and get out of my face.
RJ: I've got my health. I've got a brand new club of beautiful people bringing in the new year. Come on, you know -- you, uh, you really should try the wine.

RJ pours a second glass of wine and offers it to Todd.

Todd: Say what you've got to say and then get out.
RJ: Well, Happy New Year.

RJ raises his glass, and Todd very reluctantly also raises his glass.

Todd: Happy New Year.

Both men drink. Suddenly, RJ chuckles as if he's suddenly remembered why he came here in the first place.

RJ: Oh! There is, uh, there is one thing that I thought you might be interested to know. You know, Blair is definitely over Max.
Todd: You made that perfectly clear earlier at that pathetic little club of yours.
RJ: You don't mind, uh, Blair banging in the new year with my studly young bartender?
Todd: No, let her dance her cold little heart out.
RJ: No, you miss my point. They are way past dancing. See, well, Vega is my main attraction. The girls are just drawn to him. They flock to him. Hey, can you blame 'em? From what I hear, you know, uh, well -- he's quite...capable.

Todd is now stewing in anger at this allusion to RJ and Tea's false belief that he's impotent. RJ, seeing his arrow found its mark, is pleased.

RJ: Well, I don't know about you, but this new year's starting off pretty good! (he takes another sip of wine) You enjoy the wine!

RJ gets up and leaves the bottle and glasses behind as he exits the office. Todd takes another sip from his glass and then picks up RJ's almost empty glass and slams it back down on the desk so hard that it breaks. The remaining wine drenches and ruins his "Get" list.
