34. INT- SEBASTIAN's room- Day

KATHRYN is setting up a small video camera on SEBASTIAN's desk when SEBASTIAN walks in.

SEBASTIAN:

And what are we doing?

KATHRYN:

(Turns to face him)

Making sure I can ruin Serena.

SEBASTIAN:

A camera?

KATHRYN:

You nail her and I get the whole thing on tape. Then we put the lovely footage on the school's morning announcements.

(Smiles wickedly)

The perfect way to win.

SEBASTIAN:

And how do you intend on getting that type of footage on the announcements?

KATHRYN:

I have friends in high places Sebastian. Actually I'd say it's about time I call her up and invite her over.

(Picks up her phone and dials)

Serena, it's Kathryn.

SERENA:

(V.O.)

Why are you calling me.

KATHRYN:

Well as my party was ruined the other night, we never got a chance to talk. How about you come over to my place and we can talk.

SERENA:

(V.O.)

I don't know.

KATHRYN:

I thought as we were the only two candidates left that we just become friends; that way whoever wins the presidency, can give the other some sort of job.

SERENA:

(V.O.)

I guess I could come over for a while.

KATHRYN:

Super, see you in say an hour.

SERENA:

(V.O.)

I can manage that.

KATHRYN hangs up the phone and removes her fake smile.

KATHRYN:

Think you can be ready in an hour?

SEBASTIAN nods.



35. INT- Hallway- Day

KATHRYN opens the door and SERENA is standing there.

KATHRYN:

I'm terribly sorry but an important errand came up, do you think you could wait around for an hour or so.

SERENA:

I guess.

KATHRYN:

If you need anything my Maid Mai-lee would be happy to get it for you, and my Stepbrother Sebastian is just down the hall. I'll do my best to hurry.

KATHRYN exits.

SERENA walks over to the couch and sits down. She sees a little black book and opens it up. Inside the book is full of names.

SEBASTIAN:

Do you always go through people's things?

(Walks closer)

SERENA:

(Stands up)

I assume this belongs to you.

(Hands him the book)

Seems as though you have quite a reputation.

SEBASTIAN:

Does that bother you?

SERENA:

Why would it? I don't even know you.

SEBASTIAN:

But you think you do, you think I'm some rich boy who can get whatever he wants?

SERENA:

And if I do?

SEBASTIAN:

I'd say you know me. So where has my lovely stepsister scampered off too?

SERENA:

Some sort of errand.

SEBASTIAN:

She probably went off to try and get some votes, but between you and I, you'll win.

SERENA:

I hope so. It's been my dream since I was little.

SEBASTIAN walks over to the liquor cabinet and pulls down to glasses.

SEBASTIAN:

Care for a drink.

(Pours one for himself.)

SERENA:

I don't drink.

SEBASTIAN:

Then you must try it.

(Pours another. Hands it to SERENA)

Don't be such a wimp; just think of it as an early victory party.

SERENA:

I guess one little drink wouldn't hurt.

(Takes a gulp.)



36. INT- Living room- Night

SERENA and SEBASTIAN are making out on the couch. SEBASTIAN's hand reaches up under SERENA's shirt.

SERENA:

Hold on, I don't know-

SEBASTIAN:

(Puts his fingers over her lips)

Shhh. Don't be scared, have another drink.

SERENA takes the glass timidly and drinks, then continues kissing SEBASTIAN.



37. INT- SEBASTIAN's room- Night

VIDEO CAMERA FOOTAGE: SEBASTIAN on top of SERENA in the bed. They kiss, and she rubs her arms down his back.

38. INT- Hallway- Night

KATHRYN walks into the Townhouse.

KATHRYN:

(Calling out)

I'm home!

(Throws her Jacket on the couch)

I hope that everything is okay.

Begins to walk back to bedrooms.

SERENA rushes past her.

KATHRYN:

Sorry I'm a little late. Care to sit down for a drink.

SERENA:

I have to go. I'll see you at school.

SERENA exits.

SEBASTIAN enters.

KATHRYN:

The poor girl looks as though she saw a ghost.

SEBASTIAN:

More like her first dick.

KATHRYN:

I do hope that it's good footage. I should go check.

(Exits)

Intercut with:

39. INT- SEBASTIAN's room- Night

KATHRYN walks over to the video camera and plugs it into SEBASTIAN's TV.

SEBASTIAN enters.

KATHRYN:

I think I'll hint mute.

(Plays the tape)

CUT TO- KATHRYN's reaction to the tape.

KATHRYN:

So was she better than my friend Abby?

(Intrigued by the tape)

SEBASTIAN:

She was defiantly a first time fucker that's for sure.

KATHRYN:

I'm sure her dear daddy would love to see what his innocent daughter has been doing.

SEBASTIAN:

(Confused)

What do you mean?

KATHRYN:

Oh, did I forget to mention her father is the headmaster. Must have slipped my mind.

SEBASTIAN:

You mean- Oh shit!

KATHRYN:

Don't worry dear brother. Your face is barely visible. No one will know it's you who did this.

SEBASTIAN:

You'd better make sure. People are already beginning to think I was the one who showed the information at you party; I can't add this to the list.

KATHRYN:

(Walks over and sits on his lap)

Don't worry, I can handle this.



40. INT- Expensive boutique- Day

KATHRYN and LAURA are shopping.

LAURA:

So your using Sebastian for your bidding.

KATHRYN:

I have him twisted around my finger. He wouldn't say no to me.

LAURA:

You are most certainly coming along. I'm so very impressed.

KATHRYN:

I'm so glad.

(Cell phone begins to ring.)

One sec.

(Answers it)

Hello? Court, hello. I can't wait for- Oh you can't do it tonight. Understandable you must be busy. No I understand. See you tomorrow.

(Hangs up)

LAURA:

Court can't make it tonight?

KATHRYN:

He has some business to attend to; I'm not worried.

LAURA:

You really like him, don't you.

KATHRYN:

I do, he is so kind. And the sex, god how I adore the sex.

LAURA:

(Looks at her watch)

Jesus Christ, look at the time. I have plans tonight I can't be late for. See you tomorrow at the same time.

KATHRYN:

I should get the videotape ready for tomorrow anyways. Can't wait to see the look on her face.

KATHRYN smiles to herself.



41. EXT- Urban House- Late Afternoon

KATHRYN knocks on the door and waits.

SEAN RICHTON answers. He is your typical AV guy.

SEAN:

Can I help you?

KATHRYN:

I need a favour Sean.

SEAN:

What?

KATHRYN:

(Holds up Video tape)

I need you to somehow get this into the announcements tomorrow.

SEAN:

What is it?

KATHRYN:

Something that could get you and I in a lot of trouble if anyone found out who did it. But could even more so get someone else in shit.

SEAN:

Bring it in.

INTERCUT WITH:

42. INT- House- Late Afternoon.

SEAN puts the tape in a VCR by his computer and starts typing on keys.

CLOSE UP- Computer Screen: SEBASTIAN is taking off SERENA's clothes.

CUT TO- SEAN's face.

SEAN:

(Stops tape.)

I can't put this in the announcements!

KATHRYN:

(Angry)

Why not?

SEAN:

Obvious reasons!

KATHRYN:

Sean stop trying to do what's right. These people have made fun of you your entire life. Why not do what's right and make them pay.

SEAN thinks for a minute.

SEAN:

I'll do it.

KATHRYN:

You made the right choice.

(Puts on her glasses)

Remember; vote Kathryn.

KATHRYN exits.

43. EXT- COURT's house- Night.

KATHRYN types in the security code and lets herself in.

KATHRYN walks down the hall towards COURT's bedroom.

KATHRYN hears moaning coming from the room.

KATHRYN:

(innocently)

Oops

(Throws open door.)

CUT TO- LAURA straddling COURT.

COURT:

Oh Fuck, Kathryn!

COURT pushes LAURA off.

COURT:

What the hell are you doing here?

KATHRYN:

(Not angry)

Just wanted to come by and see you, but I see that it was a bad time.

LAURA:

Your right Kathryn, the sex is amazing.

KATHRYN turns on her heal and exits.



44. INT- Townhouse- Night

KATHRYN storms into the living room and plops down beside SEBASTIAN who is reading a magazine.

SEBASTIAN:

(Not looking up)

I take it your little surprise visit didn't go as planned with Court.

KATHRYN:

Lets just say he wasn't doing the business I expected.

SEBASTIAN:

So whom did he have in his bed this time?

KATHRYN:

Your lovely friend Laura.

SEBASTIAN:

She still gets around like she use to I see.

KATHRYN:

Use to?

SEBASTIAN:

I'm sure she didn't tell you this lovely tidbit of information did she. Laura use to work as a very prosperous hooker.

KATHRYN:

No she didn't,

SEBASTIAN:

She only stopped because her father won the lottery. Her little story she tells, Bullshit.

KATHRYN:

I bet she would hate for that information to get out. It could ruin her.

SEBASTIAN:

And you would do that to a friend?

KATHRYN:

I would do that to anyone that gets in my way. Plus I don't like it when other people play with my things.

SEBASTIAN:

I hope you know what you getting yourself into.

KATHRYN smiles.

KATHRYN:

I learn from the best.

(Looks around)

Where are the parentals?

SEBASTIAN:

Some boring business dinner, they should be home any minute.

KATHRYN:

I've seen you father drunk enough, I heading to bed.

SEBASTIAN:

That's nice.

KATHRYN sneers and exits.



45. INT- Auditorium- Morning.

KATHRYN and SEBASTIAN as well as their classmates are sitting while their morning announcements plays on a large TV screen.

STUDENT announcer:

(On screen)

Here is footage from the Manchester versus Oakwood Lacrosse match.

CUT TO- some blurriness and then shots of SERENA and SEBASTIAN having sex.

CUT TO- Students reactions.

STUDENT #3: Isn't that Serena Wallace?

STUDENT #4: Who's the guy?

STUDENT #5: That looks like Sebastian Valmont!

CLOSE UP- KATHRYN smiling.

COURT leans over and whispers in her ear.

COURT:

Nice going.

HEADMASTER WALLACE:

Please turn this crap off!

(Angry)

Who the hell did this?

CUT TO- SEBASTIAN looks behind to KATHRYN.

KATHRYN smiles back and blows him a kiss.

HEADMASTER WALLACE:

Return to your classes.

KATHRYN stands up and begins to walk away.

SEBASTIAN runs up to her.

SEBASTIAN:

I thought you said people wouldn't know it was me with her.

KATHRYN:

How was I to know? Don't worry; I'm sure you won't get expelled for this little incident.

SEBASTIAN:

You'd better hope not.

HEADMASTER WALLACE walks up to SEBASTIAN and KATHRYN.

SEBASTIAN:

Headmaster Wallace.

HEADMASTER WALLACE:

Both of you, my office now.

KATHRYN:

Whatever is the matter.

HEADMASTER WALLACE:

We need to talk.

KATHRYN and SEBASTIAN walk out of the room beside him.



46. INT- HEADMASTER's office- Day

KATHRYN is sitting in the chair with HEADMASTER WALLACE.

HEADMASTER WALLACE:

Kathryn, are you the reason my daughter went to your house?

KATHRYN:

I'm afraid I am, I invited her over to talk about the election, but when she arrived I had to run some errand quickly. I didn't expect my stepbrother to do anything like what he did.

HEADMASTER WALLACE:

Why can't Sebastian be more like you, honest, caring?

KATHRYN stands up and walks over to the HEADMASTER.

KATHRYN:

He doesn't have a strong role model, or any goals. How are you going to deal with this matter?

HEADMASTER WALLACE:

Well you stepbrother will most defiantly be expelled-

KATHRYN:

(Interrupting)

I really don't think that's necessary, I'm sure I could help him learn to be more like me. It did happen off school property, there fore your personal feelings cannot be involved. And also Sebastian has no connections to the video club so it could be said someone else put it there in spit.

HEADMASTER WALLACE:

Why are you so caring to him?

KATHRYN:

I'm caring to everyone, even someone with as little respect as Sebastian.

HEADMASTER WALLACE:

I think we will bring in Sebastian, thank you for your time Kathryn.

KATHRYN:

Anytime.

KATHRYN exits.



47. INT- Office- Day

SEBASTIAN is sitting in one of the chairs when KATHRYN exits the HEADMASTER's Office.

SEBASTIAN:

(Stands up)

How did it go?

KATHRYN:

I have the perfect story going, don't mess this up.

SEBASTIAN:

I'll try not too-

(Walks into the HEADMASTER's Office)



48. INT- Dinning room- Night

KATHRYN, TIFFANY, EDWARD and SEBASTIAN are gathered around the Dinning Table, eating.

EDWARD:

I can't believe you would do something like that, are you trying to punish me.

SEBASTIAN:

What do you want me to say?

EDWARD:

I pay good money for you to be in that school and you pull some trick like this.

KATHRYN:

It's as much my fault as his; I did invite Serena over.

TIFFANY:

Kathryn we know you feel guilty, but don't. Concentrate on your future, and what you're going to wear to the victory party for the election.

EDWARD:

(To SEBASTIAN)

You pull one more Stunt and your going to therapy, I don't care what you say, you are.

SEBASTIAN:

(Sarcastic)

Goody.

TIFFANY:

Edward maybe we should discus this somewhere else, besides the dinner Table.

EDWARD:

Of course dear.

SEBASTIAN:

(Puts down his fork)

Can I be excused?

TIFFANY:

Of course.

SEBASTIAN exits.

KATHRYN:

May I also be excused? I do have homework.

TIFFANY:

See you in the morning.

KATHRYN exits.

EDWARD:

What are we going to do with that boy?

TIFFANY:

It's just a phase; he'll grow out of it.

EDWARD:

For his sake he better.



49. INT- SEBASTIAN's room- Night

KATHRYN enters.

SEBASTIAN:

What the hell do you want?

KATHRYN:

Nothing, I came to see how you were.

SEBASTIAN:

I'm surprised you care.

KATHRYN:

I'm not a completely heartless bitch. Anyways it's my fault you got caught, it can't happen again.

SEBASTIAN:

And what would I get caught for? I'm not doing anything else for you Kathryn.

KATHRYN:

(Pouts)

Why not?

(Walks closer to him)

I'm guaranteed as President now. I even heard that Headmaster Wallace has decided to resign and his daughter and him are moving across the country. And now all the girls at the school think you're a real bad ass. You've got a rep and you need to make sure it stays the way it is.

SEBASTIAN:

I don't care Kathryn. You heard my father; I can't afford to get in any more trouble.

KATHRYN:

Please, with my links to the school you won't have to worry about anything.

(Lies down on his bed)

I think I need something to celebrate with.

(Unscrews her Cross and snorts a bump)

Care for some?

SEBASTIAN:

Drugs and Sex, what a complete fuck up your becoming.

KATHRYN:

I'm just learning how to live the good life; you should try it.

SEBASTIAN:

Please you think snorting white powder is the good life Kathryn, messing up people's lives is the good life.

KATHRYN:

Whatever you say, if you don't mind I have an acceptance speech to write. Good night Sebastian.

KATHRYN exits.
