10 Things I Hate About You Page #19

Patrick marches Kat around the yard, holding her up

KAT:

This is so patronizing.

PATRICK:

Leave it to you to use big words when

you're shitfaced.

KAT:

Why 're you doing this?

PATRICK:

I told you

KAT:

You don't care if I die

PATRICK:

Sure, I do

KAT:

Why?

PATRICK:

Because then I'd have to start taking

out girls who like me.

KAT:

Like you could find one

PATRICK:

See that? Who needs affection when

I've got blind hatred?

KAT:

Just let me sit down.

He walks her over to the swingset and plops her down in a

swing, moving her hands to hang onto the chains.

PATRICK:

How's that?

She sits and looks at him for a moment with a smile. Then

FALLS over backward.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

Jesus. You're like a weeble

Patrick rushes to right her, then starts pushing her on the

swing to keep her entertained.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

Why'd you let him get to you?

KAT:

Who?

PATRICK:

Dorsey.

KAT:

I hate him.

PATRICK:

I know. It'd have to be a pretty big

deal to get you to mainline tequila. You

don't seem like the type.

KAT:

(holding up a

drunken head)

Hey man. . . You don ' t think I can

be "cool"? You don't think I can be

"laid back" like everyone else?

PATRICK:

(slightly

sarcastic)

I thought you were above all that

KAT:

You know what they say

He stops the swing

PATRICK:

No. What do they say?

Kat is asleep, her head resting against the swing's chains.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

Sh*t!

He drags her to her feet and starts singing loudly.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

Jingle Bells! Jingle Belles! Wake up

damn it!

He sits her down on the slide and shakes her like a rag

doll.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

Kat! Wake up!

KAT:

(waking)

What?

He sighs with relief.

PATRICK:

I thought you were...

They share some meaningful eye contact. And then she PUKES

on his shoes.

INT. BOGEY'S BATHROOM - NIGHT

Kat washes her face and grabs a bottle of Scope, taking a

big swig.

A KNOCK sounds at the door

KAT:

Go away

Bianca opens the door and looks at her sister with the

smuggest of all possible grins.

BIANCA:

Dinner taste better on the way out?

Gives her a "don't even start" look.

BIANCA:

(continuing)

I don't get you. You act like you're

too good for any of this, and then you

go totally apeshit when you get here.

KAT:

You're welcome.

She pushes past her and leaves the bathroom.

KAT'S CAR - NIGHT

Kat's in the driver's seat. Patrick leans in and takes the

keys out of the ignition.

PATRICK:

Cute

BOGEY LOWENSTEIN'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Kids loiter on the lawn. Bianca and Chastity walk outside

Joey catches up to them.

JOEY:

A bunch of us are going to Jaret's

house. Wanna come?

Chastity looks at Bianca, who wears a pained expression.

She looks at her watch.

BIANCA:

I have to be home in twenty minutes.

CHASTITY:

(eagerly, to Joey)

I don't have to be home 'til two.

JOEY:

Then, c'mon.

(to Bianca)

Maybe next time --

They head back into the party, leaving an astonished Bianca

Cameron exits the party and stops when he sees Bianca

standing alone.

CAMERON:

(slightly

accusatory)

Have fun tonight?

BIANCA:

Tons

He starts to walk on

BIANCA:

(continuing)
