(Blair walks up to the bar at Capricorn)

R.J.: "Let me hazard a guess. Manning has misled and/or lied to you again, hmm? You want something stronger?"

Todd: (Walks in) "Finally." (Approaches the bar)

Blair: "Get away from me, Todd."

Todd: "Come on, hear me out, at least."

Blair: "I made a deal with Kevin to end the war, and you blew it."

Todd: "Blair..."

Blair: "All right, R.J., yeah, I would like a drink. Give me something that will sting when I throw it in Todd’s face." (Scene ends.)



R.J.: (Gives her a drink) "Well, now, this will not only sting, but the stain is a bear."

Todd: "Maybe I should order a club soda." Blair: "You know, Todd, you said you were going to end the war with Kevin, but you just moved it into a whole different direction. You restart a newspaper just to ruin Kevin’s campaign. Okay. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't throw that right in your face."

Todd: "Maybe you should."

Blair: "Fine." (Tosses the drink in his face. Scene ends.)



Todd: "Feeling better?"

Blair: "I really, really thought that we could make it this time, Todd."

Todd: "And what if it's true?"

Blair: "What?"

Todd: "What I printed. What if I was stating facts? What if I'm being an honest journalist? What if it's true?" (Scene ends.)



Todd: "I meant it, you know."

Blair: "What?"

Todd: "On ending the war with Kevin."

Blair: "So you call that ending it?"

Todd: "Blair, this article's not personal."

Blair: "Todd ..."

Todd: "Yes, I'm a little glad that Kevin’s getting stuck like the pig he is. But once you read it, you'll know he's corrupt. Do you remember when he resigned how he strutted around yakking about how he wouldn't get involved with people like Dawes? Now he's practically in bed with the guy."

Blair: "Well, how deep is he involved with Dawes?"

Todd: "As deep as it gets. This state is going to be sold to the highest bidder when the election's over with. You used to be a journalist. Why don't you check the facts? When you're done checking, why don't you work with me?" (Scene ends.)



Todd: "We're not going to break up over this, Blair. You're not going to go running off and leave me begging you, and I'm not going to force you to do it my way."

Blair: "We wouldn't even be having this argument if you had just told me the truth in the first place."

Todd: "Yeah, I understand that, but if I told you the truth in the first place, you would have made wrong assumptions, we would have had this argument anyway before the first edition went to print. Governor Brooks, Kevin Buchanan....they are corrupt. It's time somebody called them on it."

Blair: "Oh, come on. Dawes is the poster boy for corruption. And if he's backing Brooks and Brooks has picked Kevin, then..."

Todd: "Blair, every fact in this newspaper has been checked and rechecked and checked again, and it will be done so in the next edition and the edition after that. It's going to be the truth; it's going to be accurate."

Blair: "I made a vow that I wouldn't cut my losses at the first sign of trouble, but, Todd, look at me. You made a promise to me. You made a promise that you would not lie to me. You did."

Todd: "I made a lie of omission, I'll give you that. And maybe I did revert a little bit to my old ways. So did you, I think, revert a little bit, don't you?"

Blair: "Giving you the ultimatum every other day?"

Todd: "Every day, more like it."

Blair: "We're still here."

Todd: "Forever." (Blair giggles. Scene ends.)



Todd: (After watching Natalie punch Paul) "My niece packs a mean right hand."

Blair: "This article..."

Todd: "Yes, how you've turned "Craze" into the hottest new magazine in the country. That's an accurate article."

Blair: "You know, sometimes you can be just so sweet it makes me want to cry." (Laughs)

Kevin: (Walks over) "You having fun, Manning? Enjoy it while you can. I thought we had a deal. I thought the war was over."

Blair: "Kevin...."

Kevin: "I guess not. Well, I'm here to tell you both. You know what? Our little pact is finished." (Leaves)

Todd: "You think maybe he didn't like the article in The Sun?" (End of Scene and and episode)
