Dan Humphrey: No, your the guy who traded sex for money. [pause] Nate Archibald: My god, Vanessa... Dan Humphrey: It's amazing I don't want you with my little sister. Nate Archibald: Okay look I'm sorry I didn't say anything about Jenny, okay? But you have no right to judge me. Dan Humphrey: Where is she? Nate Archibald: I don't even know, she went off to find Agnes. [pause] Do you want me to come help you find her? Dan Humphrey: No I don't want your help. I want you to pack up your stuff and get out of our house.
