"Doesn't this all sound a bit too soap opera-ish to you? Or something out of one of those penny romance novels? Why would Bart pay off your mother? I thought she died?" And given how deeply that affected Chuck growing up, why would someone lie about that to their child?
"Why would Bart disappear? I thought- he and Lily were fine, right?"
"More soap opera-ish than Gossip Girl*? Or than Serena begging her mother to marry Bart so she wouldn't be Dan's brother?" Chuck shrugged, his tone darkly amused. "And I don't know except he wanted her to stay away. He actually admitted to me she was alive when he was drunk a couple of times but was furious when I mentioned it when he was sober."
"And Bart and Lily fine?" He snorted. "Didn't Serena tell you about the dossiers? She was seeing Brooklyn Senior behind Bart's back, and he was keeping Lily, Serena, and Eric under surveillance and dossiers compiled on all of them."
* Do we go with the show here with it's choice of Dan as GG? Also the admitting drunk is to solve a couple of continuity errors because they didn't decide she was dead until part way into S1.
