10 Things I Hate About You Page #20

Cameron?

He stops. She gives him a helpless smile.

BIANCA:

(continuing)

Do you think you could give me a ride

home?

INT. KAT'S CAR - NIGHT

Patrick drives as Kat sits in the passenger seat, fiddling

with the radio dial. She finds a SONG she's happy with and

Patrick quickly changes it.

PATRICK:

I'm driving, so I get to pick the

tunes.

She changes it back to her song.

KAT:

It's my car.

He changes it back.

PATRICK:

And I'm in control of it.

KAT:

But it's Gigglepuss - I know you like

them. I saw you there.

Patrick doesn't have an answer for this, so he let's her

listen to her song.

KAT:

(continuing)

When you were gone last year -- where

were you?

PATRICK:

Busy

KAT:

Were you in jail?

PATRICK:

Maybe.

KAT:

No, you weren't

PATRICK:

Then why'd you ask?

KAT:

Why'd you lie?

He doesn't answer, but instead, frowns and turns up the

music. She bobs her head drunkenly.

KAT:

(continuing)

I should do this.

PATRICK:

Do what?

KAT:

This.

She points to the radio

PATRICK:

Start a band?

KAT:

(sarcastically)

My father wouldn't approve of that that

PATRICK:

You don't strike me as the type that

would ask permission.

She turns to look at him.

KAT:

Oh, so now you think you know me?

PATRICK:

I'm gettin' there

Her voice loses it's venom

KAT:

The only thing people know about me is

that I'm "scary".

He turns to look at her -- she looks anything but scary

right now. He tries to hide his smile.

PATRICK:

Yeah -- well, I'm no picnic myself.

They eye each other, sharing a moment of connection,

realizing they're both created the same exterior for

themselves.

Patrick pulls into her driveway and shuts off the motor. He

looks up at her house.

PATRICK:

(continuing)

So what ' s up with your dad? He a

pain in the ass?

KAT:

He just wants me to be someone I'm not.

PATRICK:

Who?

KAT:

BIANCA:

PATRICK:

No offense, but you're sister is

without. I know everyone likes her and

all, but ...

Kat stares at him with new admiration.

KAT:

You know -- you're not as vile as I

thought you were.

She leans drunkenly toward him.

Their faces grow closer as if they're about to kiss And then

Patrick turns away

PATRICK:

So, I'll see you in school

Kat stares at him, pissed. Then gets out of the car,

SLAMMING the door shut behind her.

CAMERON'S CAR - NIGHT

Bianca and Cameron ride in silence.

He finally breaks it.

CAMERON:

I looked for you back at the party, but

you always seemed to be "occupied".

BIANCA:

(faux-innocence )

I was?

CAMERON:

You never wanted to go out with 'me,

did you?

Bianca bites her lip.

BIANCA:

(reluctant)

Well, no...

CAMERON:

Then that's all you had to say.

BIANCA:

But

CAMERON:

You always been this selfish?

BIANCA thinks a minute

He pulls up in front of the house

CAMERON:

Just because you're beautiful, doesn't

mean you can treat people like they

don't matter.

She looks at him for a moment -- then grabs his face and

gives him a kiss on the lips. He draws back in surprise,

then kisses her back. She smiles, then gets out of the car

without another word.

Cameron grins and drives away

CAMERON:

(continuing)

And I'm back in the saddle.
