  Chuck Bass : Captain, good to see you. Nate.

  [Nate, still angry, just looks at him and doesn't say anything] 

  Howie 'The Captain' Archibald : Wow, clearly I missed something while I was away. A little advice, fellas, you've been friends a long time, whoever she is, she's not worth it.

  Chuck Bass : Couldn't agree more.

  Nate Archibald : That's the problem.

  Chuck Bass : No.

  Nate Archibald : Yes.

  Chuck Bass : He just asked to have his car brought around.

  Nate Archibald : He probably left his phone in it.

  Chuck Bass : Look before the ceremony I saw him with a guy doing a deal, it looked like drugs.

  Howie 'The Captain' Archibald : I wasn't buying drugs.

  [he shows Nate his passport] 

  Nate Archibald : Passport? Your skipping town?

  Howie 'The Captain' Archibald : I'm gonna be a much better father to you from the Dominican Republic than from jail.

  Howie 'The Captain' Archibald : Who do you think's paying for the private plane?

  Nate Archibald : Why didn't you tell me any of this?

  Howie 'The Captain' Archibald : 'Cause I didn't want you to know anything and be an accessory! This is the best thing for everyone. I need you to step up right now and be the man of the family for your mother.

  Nate Archibald : It's been that for a while now!

  [Nate starts to walk off and his dad grabs him by his shoulder]
