10 Things I Hate About You Page #18

JOEY:

My agent says I've got a good shot at

being the Prada guy next year.

He looks over her shoulder and waves at someone. Bianca

takes the opportunity to escape.

BIANCA:

I'll be right back.

INT. BOGEY'S BATHROOM - NIGHT

Bianca shuts the door and leans on it with a sigh. Chastity

applies lip-gloss in the mirror.

BIANCA:

He practically proposed when he found

out we had the same dermatologist. I

mean. Dr. Bonchowski is great an all,

but he's not exactly relevant party

conversation.

CHASTITY:

Is he oily or dry?

BIANCA:

Combination. I don't know -- I thought

he'd be different. More of a

gentleman...

Chastity rolls her eyes

CHASTITY:

Bianca, I don't think the highlights of

dating Joey Dorsey are going to include

door-opening and coat-holding.

BIANCA:

Sometimes I wonder if the guys we're

supposed to want to go out with are the

ones we actually want to go out with,

you know?

CHASTITY:

All I know is -- I'd give up my private

line to go out with a guy like Joey.

There's a KNOCK at the door. Bianca opens it to find a very

drunken Kat.

KAT:

Bianca, I need to talk to you -- I need

to tell you --

BIANCA:

(cutting her off)

I really don't think I need any social

advice from you right now.

Bianca grabs Chastity's arm and they exit

INT. BOGEY'S KITCHEN - NIGHT - LATER

Patrick tries to remove a shot glass from Kat's hand.

PATRICK:

Maybe you should let me have it.

Kat is fierce in her refusal to let go

KAT:

I want another one

Joey enters, grabbing Patrick by the shoulder, distracting

him from his task.

JOEY:

My man

As Patrick turns, Kat breaks free and dives into the sea of

dancing people in the dining room.

PATRICK:

(annoyed)

It's about time.

JOEY:

A deal's a deal.

He peels off some bills

JOEY:

(continuing)

How'd you do it?

PATRICK:

Do what?

JOEY:

Get her to act like a human

A very drunken Kat jumps up onto the kitchen island and

starts dancing by herself. She lets loose, hair flying.

She's almost burlesque.

Others form a crowd, clapping and cheering her on

She swings her head around BANGING it on a copper pot

hanging from the rack above the center island. She starts

to sway, then goes down as Patrick rushes over to catch her.

The others CLAP, thinking this is a wonderful finale.

Patrick sets her down on her feet, holding her up

PATRICK:

Okay?

KAT:

I'm fine. I'm

She tries to push him away, but staggers when she does grabs

her again, bracing her.

PATRICK:

You're not okay.

KAT:

I just need to lie down for awhile

PATRICK:

Uh, uh. You lie down and you'll go to

sleep

KAT:

I know, just let me sleep

PATRICK:

What if you have a concussion? My dog

went to sleep with a concussion and woke

up a vegetable. Not that I could tell

the difference...

She tries to sit on the floor

KAT:

Okay, I'll just sleep but stay awake,

okay?

He pulls her back to her

PATRICK:

C'mon, let's walk

INT. BOGEY'S DINING ROOM - NIGHT

As Patrick walks Kat through the dining room, Cameron grabs

his arm.

CAMERON We need to talk.

PATRICK:

Cameron, I'm a little busy

CAMERON:

It's off. The whole thing.

Kat slides down to the floor and Patrick struggles to get h

back on her feet.

PATRICK:

What 're you talking about?

CAMERON:

She's partial to Joey, not me

Patrick doesn't have time for this.

PATRICK:

Cameron -- do you like the girl?

CAMERON:

Sure

PATRICK:

(impatient)

Then, go get her

Patrick continues walking an oblivious Kat outside. Cameron

stands there, unsure how to make use of this advice
