10 Things I Hate About You Page #11

Synopsis: Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) is beautiful, smart and quite abrasive to most of her fellow teens, meaning that she doesn't attract many boys. Unfortunately for her younger sister, Bianca (Larisa Oleynik), house rules say that she can't date until Kat has a boyfriend, so strings are pulled to set the dour damsel up for a romance. Soon Kat crosses paths with handsome new arrival Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger). Will Kat let her guard down enough to fall for the effortlessly charming Patrick?

A "copine" is someone you can count on.

An "ami" is someone who makes promises

he can't keep.

Cameron closes the French book

CAMERON:

You got something on your mind?

BIANCA:

I counted on you to help my cause. You

and that thug are obviously failing.

Aren't we ever going on our date?

He melts

CAMERON:

You have my word. As a gentleman

BIANCA:

You're sweet.

She touches his hand. He blushes at her praise and watches

her toss her hair back

CAMERON:

(appreciative)

How do you get your hair to look like

that?

BIANCA:

Eber's Deep Conditioner every two days.

And I never, ever use a blowdryer

without the diffuser attachment.

Cameron nods with interest.

CAMERON:

You know, I read an article about that.

Bianca looks surprised.

BIANCA:

You did?

INT. BOY'S ROOM - DAY

Patrick stands at the sink, washing his hands Michael and

Cameron cower in the corner, watching him.

PATRICK:

(without turning

around)

Say it

MICHAEL:

(clearing his

throat)

What?

PATRICK:

Whatever the hell it is you're standin'

there waitin' to say.

Cameron bravely steps forward

CAMERON:

We wanted to talk to you about the

plan.

Patrick turns toward them.

PATRICK:

What plan?

MICHAEL:

The situation is, my man Cameron here

has a major jones for Bianca Stratford.

PATRICK:

What is it with this chick? She have

three tits?

Cameron starts to object, but Michael holds up a hand.

MICHAEL:

I think I speak correctly when I say

that Cameron's love is pure. Purer than

say -- Joey Dorsey's.

PATRICK:

Dorsey can plow whoever he wants. I'm

just in this for the cash.

Cameron starts choking at the thought of Joey plowing his

beloved Bianca.

MICHAEL:

That's where we can help you. With

Kat.

PATRICK:

So Dorsey can get the girl?

MICHAEL:

Patrick, Pat, you're not looking at the

big picture. Joey's just a pawn. We set

this whole thing up so Cameron can get

the girl.

Patrick smiles. He likes the idea of Joey being a pawn in

this game.

PATRICK:

You two are gonna help me tame the wild

beast?

MICHAEL:

(grinning)

We're your guys.

CAMERON:

And he means that strictly in a non-

prison-movie type of way.

PATRICK:

Yeah -- we'll see.

He swings the door open and exits, leaving Michael and

Cameron grinning at each other.

MICHAEL:

We're in.

INT. CLASSROOM - DAY

CU on a party invitation as it gets handed out. "Future

Princeton Grad Bogey Lowenstein proudly presents a Saturday

night bash at his abode. Casual attire".

Michael holds the invitation up to Cameron.

CAMERON:

This is it. A golden opportunity.

Patrick can ask Katarina to the party.

MICHAEL:

In that case, we'll need to make it a

school-wide blow out.

CAMERON:

Will Bogey get bent?

MICHAEL:

Are you kidding? He'll piss himself

with joy. He's the ultimate kiss ass.

CAFETERIA - DAY

Michael hands a jock the party invite as they pass each

other at the trash cans.

INT. GYM CLASS - DAY

The jock calls a fellow jock

INT. MATH CLASS - DAY

Jock whispers to a cheerleader

COURTYARD - DAY

The cheerleader calls a White Rasta that she's making out

with, showing him the invite.

TRACK - DAY

The White Rasta tells a cowboy as they run laps during track

practice.

INT. SHOWERS - DAY

The cowboy Cells a Coffee Kid, as he shields his java from

the spray of the shower.

INT. HALLWAY - DAY

Joey stands ac his open locker with Bianca. The locker is

an homage to Joey's "modeling" career. Cheesy PRINT ADS of

him -- running in a field of daisies, petting a kitten, etc.

-- adorn the locker door.
