10 Things I Hate About You Page #15

MANDELLA:

Has he importun'd you with love in

honourable fashion?

Kat glances sharply at her.

MANDELLA:

(continuing; off

her look)

Don't be Cruella with me. I'm in favor

of romance. You're the one that wants

to march on Washington every five

minutes.

Kat pokes her, then looks back at the club dreamily.

KAT:

Gigglepuss was so beyond.

Mandella nods.

MANDELLA:

They were. I only wish William could

have been here to witness the rebirth of

punk rock with us.

Kat links her arm through Mandella's and they head for the

car.

KAT:

So true.

INT. HALLWAY - DAY

Cameron and Michael are at Michael's locker.

CAMERON:

So, then she says that she almost

didn't wear the Kenneth Coles with that

dress because she thought she was

mixing, you know, genres. And the fact

that I noticed -- and I'm quoting here -

"really meant something."

Cameron looks At Michael expectantly

MICHAEL:

You told me that part already.

CAMERON:

Hell, I've just been going over the

whole thing in my head and -

Joey appears over Cameron's shoulder.

JOEY:

Hey. Dingo Boingo

Cameron and Michael look at each other And turn around

slowly

JOEY:

(continuing; to

Michael)

I hear you're helpin' Verona.

MICHAEL:

Uh, yeah. We're old friend*

JOEY:

You and Verona?

MICHAEL:

What? We took bathes together when we

were kids.

It's incredibly obvious that he's lying. Joey eyes him then

turns to Cameron.

JOEY:

What's your gig in all this?

CAMERON:

I'm just the new guy.

Joey turns back to Michael, grabbing the alligator on his

shirt and twisting it.

JOEY:

You better not f*** this up. I'm

heavily invested.

MICHAEL:

Hey -- it's all for the higher good

right?

Joey lets go of Michael and SHOVES Cameron against a locker

for good measure, as he walks away-

CAMERON:

Is it about me?

EXT. MISS PERKY'S OFFICE - DAY

Kat sits outside waiting for her appointment, bored and

annoyed.

The door opens and Miss Perky escorts Patrick out

MISS PERKY:

You're completely demented.

PATRICK:

(cheery)

See you next week!

Kat stands and Patrick sees her.

Miss Perky watches in horror

MISS PERKY:

You two know each other?

PATRICK/KAT

Yeah/No.

Miss Perky grabs Kat and shoves her into her office.

MISS PERKY:

(to Patrick)

Dear God, stay away from her. If you

two ever decided to breed, evil would

truly walk the earth.

Patrick gives Kat one last look before the door shuts, then

smiles-

EXT. STRATFORD HOUSE - NIGHT

The lights are on, illuminating the yard

INT. STRATFORD HOUSE/UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - NIGHT

Bianca and Chastity stand outside Kat's room. MUSIC is

blaring and the door is shut. Bianca looks at her watch

BIANCA:

She's obviously not going.

INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Across the carpet, two pairs of teenage girl feet sneak

past. Bianca and Chastity, teddy bear purses in hand.

FROM THE KITCHEN A RUSTLING is heard. The girls freeze.

Walter emerges from the kitchen with a mile-high sandwich

The girls are like statues. Walter jumps.

BIANCA:

Daddy, I --

WALTER:

And where're you going?

BIANCA:

If you must know, we were attempting to

go to a small study group of friends.

WALTER:

Otherwise known as an orgy?

BIANCA:

It's just a party. Daddy, but I knew

you'd forbid me to go since "Gloria

Steinem" over there isn't going --

She points to Kat -- Walkman blaring -- who comes

downstairs, wearing a baby tee and battered Levis. Her

relaxing-at-home look is about 400 times sexier than her at-

school look. She wanders toward the kitchen.

Walter directs his attention toward Kat.

WALTER:

Do you know about any party? Katarina?

Kat shrugs as she comes back out of the kitchen with an
