62. INT- COURT's House- Night

KATHRYN rings the doorbell. COURT answers.

COURT: (Surprised) Kathryn what are you doing here?

KATHRYN: I came to see you. Silly. (KATHRYN walks into the house and hangs her coat up.) I hope you don't mind.

COURT: Of course not, but I figured that you would be pissed after that little thing between your friend Laura and me.

KATHRYN: How is the little whore?

COURT:

(Pours a drink for himself.)

I tried calling her- (KATHRYN stares at him) To tell her I was with you and that it was a total mistake, but I got the machine and the message said that she was moving.

KATHRYN:

Pity. (Take the drink out of COURT's hand) Court I hope you realize that I'm not mad at you for what happened. Since I have so much power now I really shouldn't care if you are out fucking other people, but I do. Make sure that I am the one you come home to. I would hate for a bad rumour to start about you at Manchester.

COURT:

You're evil you know that.

KATHRYN:

(Smiles)

I'm a girl with goals. Can't help me for getting what I want.

COURT leans over against KATHRYN.

COURT:

How about we go into my bedroom.

KATHRYN: I have to run. I have some business to attend to. But I'll see you tomorrow at the dance.

KATHRYN kisses him.

COURT:

Bye.

KATHRYN exits.

COURT:

What the hell am I going to do?

63. INT- Townhouse- Night

KATHRYN walks in. SEBASTIAN has a cute blonde on the couch.

KATHRYN:

Who the hell is she?

SEBASTIAN:

What are you doing home? I thought you had a date with you prince charming.

KATHRYN:

I never said it was going to be a long one.

BLONDE GIRL: Who's she?

SEBASTIAN:

My stepsister Kathryn.

BLONDE GIRL:

Hi!

KATHRYN:

Could you have picked more of a ditz? Listen Blondie; Sebastian is a little busy right now so I think you should get out of here.

BLONDE GIRL:

What?

KATHRYN:

Are you stupid or something, leave!

BLONDE GIRL:

Whatever. (Exits)

KATHRYN sits down where the blonde girl was sitting moments before.

SEBASTIAN:

You ruin all my fun. (Takes a sip of champagne)

KATHRYN:

So where did you pick her up, easy R us?

SEBASTIAN:

Close. The Gap.

KATHRYN: (Sneers)

What were you doing there?

SEBASTIAN:

Well I can't bring anyone from our school home. Apparently most students at Manchester find me a bad example.

KATHRYN:

Pity. And when did you decide to become such a playboy?

SEBASTIAN:

Does that bother you?

KATHRYN:

Bother me? Please, I am the envy of every person at Manchester. Every guy wants to fuck me and every girl wants to be me. And why not, I'm pretty, popular and the most powerful girl in there.

SEBASTIAN:

(Laughs)

Don't we think highly of ourselves.

KATHRYN:

(Stands up a seductively walks around SEBASTIAN)

Drop the bullshit. I know for a fact you've been dying to screw me since you met me. Well Nighty Night brother dearest. We do have school tomorrow after all. (Turns to walk away)

(Blows him a kiss from the hallway)

SEBASTIAN:

Night. (Opens his journal to a page titled KATHRYN)

64. EXT- Central Park- Sunset-

SUBTITLE: Two Weeks over.

CAMERA SCROLLS over central park showing a large party of people.

KATHRYN sits beside COURT as he talks to a group of guys and drinks out of a flask. KATHRYN is dress fancy in a sparkly cocktail dress.

KATHRYN: (Pulling on his arm) Court, how about we go somewhere else.

COURT: (Pulling away) I'm busy.

KATHRYN: (Squeezes his arm tightly) Now please.

65. INT- COURT's Convertible- Night

COURT and KATHRYN are sitting in a secluded area in his car.

COURT: The fire works are going to start soon. (Drinks out of the flask again.)

KATHRYN: How about we make out own fireworks?

KATHRYN kisses COURT and he pulls away.

KATHRYN: Fine then, (Ducks out of frame)

COURT takes a drink of his flask and passes out.

KATHRYN rises back into frame.

KATHRYN: (Shakes COURT) Wake up (Slaps his face) Son of a bitch.

KATHRYN opens the passenger side door and leaves.

66. INT- Townhouse- Night

KATHRYN slams door and she walks into the townhouse.

SEBASTIAN, and a set of TWINS are on the couch.

KATHRYN: I interrupting something?

SEBASTIAN: Kathryn, I thought you were going to be gone all night.

KATHRYN: Sorry to disappoint you. (To the TWINS) You can feel free to leave now.

TWIN #1: (To SEBASTIAN) Who the hell is this?

SEBASTIAN: My Stepsister.

KATHRYN: Leave. I need to talk to him.

TWIN #2: Call me?

TWIN #1: See you later.

The TWINS exit.

KATHRYN sits down on couch.

KATHRYN: I should have imagined you would have people over once I left. You trying to up your sex total or something. So where is my mother?

SEBASTIAN: She and my father decided to catch a play.

KATHRYN: Great.

SEBASTIAN:

I thought you and Court had a date tonight.

KATHRYN:

Court decided to call it an early night.

SEBASTIAN: He passed out drunk didn't he?

KATHRYN:

Mind you own goddamn business.

SEBASTIAN:

Have I struck a nerve?

KATHRYN sneers and looks around. Comes across his JOURNAL.

KATHRYN:

What's this? You're actually writing in this diary like your shrink told you to. I am so utterly unimpressed.

SEBASTIAN:

Not quite.

KATHRYN:

Can I take a peek?

SEBASTIAN:

(Leans up close to her)

Not a chance in hell.

KATHRYN:

Not like you life is anything worth reading about. Dear Journal, today I got in trouble again. Boohoo.

SEBASTIAN: Well I should be heading to my room. Night Kathryn.

KATHRYN sneers and picks up a drink. Taking a big gulp she lies back onto the couch.

67. INT- KATHRYN's room- Day

KATHRYN sits at her makeup table, when the phone rings.

MAI-LEE is cleaning KATHRYN's room.

KATHRYN:

Mai-Lee, get that.

MAI-LEE answers the phone.

MAI-LEE: Hello? One moment please. (Hands the phone to KATHRYN)

Mr. Reynolds.

KATHRYN:

(Takes the phone from MAI-LEE) Court, darling. (Turns to MAI-LEE)

Leave.

MAI-LEE exits.

KATHRYN:

What a pleasant surprise.

COURT: (V.O.)

Kathryn we need to talk.

KATHRYN:

About what?

COURT: (V.O.)

I think we should break up.

KATHRYN:

Excuse me?

COURT: (V.O.)

Face it Kathryn. You don't control me. And you don't have any power, not outside of school. At first this whole power trip thing your on was fun, but now I'm sick and tired of dating a crazy head case. Try anything on me Kathryn and everyone in the school will know about you real motives.

KATHRYN:

Goodbye Court. (Hangs up the phone.)

SEBASTIAN pops into the room.

SEBASTIAN:

What's the matter sis, someone dump you?

KATHRYN: (Angry) Did you know about this?

SEBASTIAN:

I might have heard a slight rumour.

KATHRYN:

How wonderful. Someone please kill me. This was not the way the summer was supposed to go. (Pours herself a glass of wine)

Don't you have therapy now or something?

SEBASTIAN:

Actually I do. Have fun becoming a worthless drunk Kathryn.

SEBASTIAN smiles and exits the room.

KATHRYN angrily throws the glass against the wall.

KATHRYN:

Fuck you Court!

(Calms down)

Mai-Lee, get in here and clean up.

68. INT- DR. GREENBAUM's Office- Day SEBASTIAN sits on the couch.

DR. GREENBAUM:

Sebastian why do you do the things that you do. Like why would you try and ruin the reputation of one of your schoolmates. SEBASTIAN:

My reputation. Like I said before I didn't it to make myself seem more important to other people.

DR. GREENBAUM:

Sebastian I think there is more to this than that. What about your parents, how much time do you spend with your father and stepmother.

SEBASTIAN:

What are you trying to say?

DR. GREENBAUM:

I think these acts you have been committing may be for attention. To get your parents to pay more attention to you. (Looks at her watch)

Why don't you go to the waiting room while I get your next appointment set up.

SEBASTIAN:

Fine.

SEBASTIAN exits.

PHONE RINGS.

DR. GREENBAUM puts it on INTERCOM.

VOICE:

Your Daughter is in the waiting room.

DR. GREENBAUM:

Tell her to wait there for a couple minutes while I finish up.

VOICE:

Yes ma'am.

69. INT- Waiting Room- Day

SEBASTIAN walks into the waiting room and sits down. Looks at the magazines; they are all Seventeen magazines.

SEBASTIAN:

Jesus Christ.

Turns and sees MARCI GREENBAUM walking towards him.

MARCI sits down beside him. MARCI picks up a magazine and starts flipping through it.

Something on one of the pages catches SEBASTIAN's eye.

MARCI:

(Looking at him)

Can I help you?

SEBASTIAN:

Huh. No. I'm fine.

MARCI:

Do you always read magazines of people shoulders?

SEBASTIAN:

I think this is a first.

MARCI:

(Smiles)

I'm Marci Greenbaum.

SEBASTIAN:

Sebastian Valmont. Are you Dr. Greenbaum's daughter?

MARCI:

(Shakes her head) Yep. Do you know her?

SEBASTIAN:

A friend of mine is one of her patients. I was waiting for him to come out but I think he may have left already. Would you care to join me for lunch?

MARCI:

I have to wait for my mom. But here; (Pulls a pen out of her purse)

My phone number; call me sometime. (Write her number on his hand.)

SEBASTIAN:

I'll be sure to do that. (Stands up.)

SEBASTIAN kisses MARCI on the cheek.

SEBASTIAN exits.

70. INT- Townhouse- Day

SEBASTIAN walks in with a smile on his face.

KATHRYN walks in.

KATHRYN:

What the hell are you so happy about.

SEBASTIAN:

I met my lovely bitch therapist's daughter today.

KATHRYN:

Your point.

SEBASTIAN:

The lovely girl gave me her phone number.

KATHRYN looks at SEBASTIAN intrigued.

SEBASTIAN:

What would dear mommy do if she found out her lovely daughter screwed her most fucked up client?

KATHRYN:

I'd say mommy would be very upset. But I doubt that is very much of a challenge Sebastian. Anyways how would her mother ever find out about that?

SEBASTIAN:

(Looks down at his camera which is sitting on the table)

(picks the camera up)

How about evidence?

KATHRYN:

Could work.

SEBASTIAN:

Must go and call dear Marci and see what she's doing tonight, besides me. (SEBASTIAN smiles and exits.)

The Phone rings.

KATHRYN picks it up.

KATHRYN:

Hello?

BLAINE: (V.O.) Hello Kathryn. I've got those two things you wanted.

KATHRYN:

I'll be right over.

KATHRYN hangs up the phone and the camera follows her as she exits the townhouse.

71. EXT- BLAINE's House- Late Afternoon.

KATHRYN presses the buzzer.

BLAINE answers the door.

BLAINE:

Come in.

KATHRYN:

Lets make this quick. Where are the two things I want?

BLAINE hands her a vile of coke.

KATHRYN:

And the other?

BLAINE:

The person Court is after next is a new student at Manchester, come the fall. Cecile Caldwell.

KATHRYN:

You must be kidding, she is so, innocent.

BLAINE:

And from what I hear that's what Court likes. Why else would he have picked you in the beginning?

KATHRYN pulls out a large sum of money. Hands it to BLAINE.

KATHRYN:

You do good work. I think I should make a little phone call to dear Cecile. After all as Student body president I should open up my arms do those dear freshmen coming in.

BLAINE:

Do you need anything else?

KATHRYN:

Not yet. But the summer is just beginning.
